Eight-and-a-half years on from Grand Theft Auto 5's release at the twilight of the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 era, the world has changed. Games have changed, humour has changed, the public has changed, the developers have changed - not just those who worked in GTA5 but, more than likely, the makeup of developer Rockstar North itself. And in the ensuing years of service-game evolution and osmosis, the game's more visible half, GTA Online, has changed an awful lot too.

When I eventually mustered enough courage to go to an acting class several years ago, and began to rekindle a passion long left dormant, I learnt a powerful lesson which still stays with me today. It's not theatrical, it's something I apply across my entire life, and it's not a hack for getting ahead. It's simple and honest.

Today brings our best and longest look yet at the upcoming Sonic the Hedgehog 2, which will arrive in UK cinemas on 1st April.

Babylon's Fall, it's fair to say, hasn't got off to the strongest of starts.

And now, following Babylon's Fall's limp reception, Square has launched a survey in a bid to help "bring everyone an even better game experience".

Everyone wants extra performance from their PC hardware, right? And that's where technologies like AMD's FidelityFX Super Resolution (FSR), Nvidia's DLSS and Intel's upcoming XeSS are all about - essentially allowing the GPU to render at a lower resolution, then either upscaling or reconstructing to the native output of the display. In a sense, this is new territory for PC, where native resolution rendering was for a long time considered the only way forward. However, in console land, 'smart upscaling' isn't new, really coming to the fore with the launch of PS4 Pro in 2016. PC has embraced similar techniques, but has also spawned its own blend - and AMD's FSR in particular stands apart. So when Team Red asked us if were interested to talk FSR, we jumped at the chance. AMD's approach is different, both in terms of technology and philosophy.

We tried not to talk about it, we spent almost an hour avoiding the topic but eventually it had to come out: Alex is being driven to his wits' end by the fact that so many major titles are shipping on PC with a stuttering issues. Kicking off this egregious assault on gameplay most recently was the bizarrely poor conversion of Final Fantasy 7 Remake, followed up swiftly by Elden Ring and just last week, Shadow Warrior 3. But it's not a new problem - games like Kena: Bridge of Spirits, Ghostrunner and Sword and Fairy 7 launched with similar issues. Typically, this stutter is caused by shader compilation - the process whereby GPU code is compiled on the fly during gameplay - and seems to be particularly bothersome on Unreal Engine titles.

Fortiche, the talented French animation studio behind brilliant League of Legends show Arcane, is now part-owned by Riot Games.

Savathûn's Throne World is an indulgent, decadent place. Its neat privet hedges bookend meandering walkways that don't seem in a rush to get anywhere, and much of the ground - bleached, polished stone - is obscured by a thick carpet of russet leaves and blood-red petals.
