Here’s The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom running with over 120fps on PC
https://www.dsogaming.com/videotrailer-news/heres-the-legend-of-zelda-echoes-of-wisdom-running-with-over-120fps-on-pc/
Nintendo has officially released The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom on the Nintendo Switch. As we’ve mentioned before, the game can already be played on the Nintendo Switch emulator, Ryujinx. So, here’s a video showing 10 minutes of it running on an NVIDIA RTX 4090, with over 120fps. Yup, you read that right. You can play this new Zelda game with really high framerates.
To capture this gameplay footage, YouTuber reznoire used an Intel Core i9-14900K with 32GB of RAM and an NVIDIA RTX 4090. He also used Ryujinx 1.1.1398. This is the latest public version of the emulator which you can download from its official website.
>> I can’t see any mention of the resolution it runs at, but it’s also worth noting that a 14900K and a RTX 4090 combo is stupidly more powerful than the Tegra X1 powering the Switch.

Metaphor: ReFantazio is an unoptimized mess on PC [UPDATE]
https://www.dsogaming.com/articles/metaphor-refantazio-is-an-unoptimized-mess-on-pc/
SEGA has just released a demo of Metaphor ReFantazio on PC and consoles. The game uses P-Studio’s proprietary engine which was used in Persona 5, P4D, P3D, P5D, P5R. And, sadly for all ATLUS fans, it appears that the game suffers from MAJOR optimization issues.
UPDATE:
Kaldaien has released a Special K Mod that fixes the performance issues in this title. As the modder noted, Metaphor ReFantazio has insane timing code issues under the hood that are causing the aforementioned performance issues.

Konami has shared the TGS 2024 in-engine trailer for Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater. The trailer also packs some gameplay sequences. The reason I’m calling this an in-engine trailer and not a gameplay trailer is because it mostly has in-engine cutscenes.
