Watch Digital Foundry Video: Digital Foundry - DF Retro: Gunbuster vs Wolfenstein 3D - How 1992 Revolutionised The FPS.
Haven't heard of Gunbuster, or Operation Gunbuster? We're not surprised. It's an arcade shooter from 1992 released mere months after Wolfenstein 3D re-architected the first-person shooter on PC. The thing is... there's a lot of commonality here in terms of presentation, movement and control with the key difference coming down to technology. Gunbuster's entire presentation is based on sprites, a dead-end technology for the FPS revolution to come but in 1992? It was the Wild West and anything was possible.

Digital Foundry - The Last Of Us Part 1: Has Naughty Dog Fixed The PC Port?
Added 70 Views / 0 LikesOne of the most disappointing PC launches of the year was the conversion of The Last of Us Part 1. Many patches have followed since we first looked at the game and many issues remain - particularly in terms of stutter, CPU and GPU utilisation. However, the good news is that at least the texture management problems have been comprehensively resolved - and a highly respectable experience is now possible for PC users with 8GB graphics cards.

Digital Foundry - Redfall PC - DF Tech Review - Another Unacceptably Poor Port
Added 76 Views / 0 LikesWe weren't too impressed with the Xbox version of Redfall, but the PC version has its own range of unacceptably poor issues - from traversal stutter to non-descript, non-helpful settings menus, to visual bugs and terrible CPU core utilisation. Support for all modern upscalers and some kind of shader precompilation pass help matters, but this is still far from the kind of quality we'd expect from a major triple-A release.

Digital Foundry - Nvidia GeForce RTX 4060 Ti Review: The Disappointment Is Real
Added 69 Views / 0 LikesAnything from slower than a 3060 Ti to (a bit) faster than a 3070, the reality is that RTX 4060 Ti just doesn't do enough to justify its price-point - and if you want enough memory to fully futureproof your GPU for the triple-A games to come, you'll need to spend another $100... in two months time. Efficiency is a strong point, DLSS 3 has its uses in a mainstream build, but beyond that, this is a disappointment. Subscribe for more Digital Foundry: htt
