Digital Foundry | Microsoft Auto Super Resolution tested: a new AI upscaler has arrived
The gaming highlight of the new Windows on ARM Copilot+ laptops.
The less said about gaming on the new wave of ARM-based Windows laptops, the better. Qualcomm's Snapdragon X Elite has severe driver issues resulting in generally poor performance and while the PRISM CPU translation layer allowing x86 code to run on ARM looks impressive, no support for AVX instructions means many games won't even load. Let's be generous and say that gaming support on 'Windows on ARM' hardware is a work-in-progress - but there's an element I feel is well worth examining. Microsoft's Auto Super Resolution upscaling technology has its limitations, but it works.

Now Playing | Cat Quest 3 - more winningly approachable action-RPGing, this time with pirates
Once more with feline.
If you know your Cat Quest, probably all I need tell you about Cat Quest 3 is that it's more of the same, only this time with pirates. Which is to say, it's a treat. But if you've not yet played developer TheGentlebros' pun-obsessed series of super-casual, ultra-streamlined open-world action RPGs, I guess I have some explaining to do.

Now Playing | The spirit of Buster Keaton flies again in World of Goo 2
Every frame a finger painting.
I'm not sure how funny Buster Keaton movies are these days - I assume there are moments that still work as pure gags. But these films of his remain wonderful, because Keaton was kind of the Tom Cruise of his age - or rather Cruise, who namechecks Keaton often in interviews - is the closest thing we have to the original. Keaton's gags were almost always stunts, dangerous, brilliant, clearly visual stunts that moved the action forward while giving audiences something to gasp at. There's nothing on the surface to make me think of the World of Goo games, and yet I think of Keaton constantly when I play.

VR Corner | Visions of Mana running in 6DoF VR lets us live out the fantasy of a hybrid future
Added Val-ue.
I'm a big old dreamer, me. I see a thing that I love, like VR, and I like to imagine the best outcomes for it. You know, like Sony actually bringing a new Astrobot to the PS VR2, or say, smaller, lighter, cheaper headsets for all. Obviously I'm disappointed every time - newer headsets seem to be getting impossibly expensive and, well, of course Sony's gone done a Sony with the PS VR2.
