Playstation 4 emulator, fpPS4, can run for the first time a 3D game at acceptable framerates
https://www.dsogaming.com/videotrailer-news/playstation-4-emulator-fpps4-can-run-for-the-first-time-a-3d-game-at-acceptable-framerates/
John GodGames Emus has shared a video, showcasing Oceanhorn: Monster of Uncharted Seas running on the Playstation 4 emulator, fpPS4, at acceptable framerates. This is the first 3D game that this PS4 emulator can run at acceptable framerates.
Now as you will see, emulation is not perfect yet. There are currently a lot of graphical glitches and bugs, meaning that the game is not fully playable. And even though this is a somehow simple 3D game, it’s a huge step for this open-source emulator.
>> The video is 11 minutes long.

Red Dead Redemption 2 gets an HD Texture Pack, overhauling all ground & rock textures
https://www.dsogaming.com/mods/red-dead-redemption-2-gets-an-hd-texture-pack-overhauling-all-ground-rock-textures/
Modder ‘WickedHorseMan’ has released a new HD Texture Pack for Red Dead Redemption 2. This pack aims to improve the game’s graphics by overhauling all ground and rock textures.
The modder has used AI techniques, like ESRGAN, in order to upscale the textures by four times. Do note, however, that the normal maps and reflection textures have not been touched.
Since the modder has used AI techniques to enhance the vanilla textures, we highly recommend using it. After all, these new textures retain the art style of the original/vanilla ones.

Escape from Tarkov's upcoming 0.13 patch will introduce the long-awaited Streets of Tarkov map, an area of dense urban buildup packed with buildings, wrecked cars, and disintegrating infrastructure. The trailer for the patch, posted on Youtube and above, shows off some environments and more. The patch will supposedly also include a new boss. Maybe those guys on the APC we saw last year.

I love making the news this X-mas days. They're so short!
