Streamers can turn off licensed music in Cyberpunk 2077 to avoid DMCA strikes

Adiantku 2 weeks ago

We’re sure this will be music to some of your ears.

CD Projekt RED has taken steps to allow streamers and YouTubers to play Cyberpunk 2077 without being worried about their content being hit with DMCA strikes.

In the latest episode of its Night City Wire video series, the developer’s UK head of communications, Hollie Bennett, said that it was including a mode what would allow influencers to turn off certain copyrighted songs that might cause issues.

“We know that for content creators, licensed music can sometimes be problematic,” Bennett said. “So with this new mode, you’ll be able to disable a small number of selected tracks which could cause some issues, replacing them with a different song, helping to avoid any problems.”

These tracks will automatically be disabled when people stream from consoles, but this can be toggled on or off. Those broadcasting from PC will be able to … Read the rest

Capcom fixes Devil May Cry 5's 120Hz support for PlayStation 5

Adiantku 2 weeks ago

Capcom has issued a patch for Devil May Cry 5 Special Edition, addressing problematic support for 120Hz unique to the PlayStation 5 version of the game – as reported in prior Digital Foundry coverage. The issue in a nutshell is this: if your TV supports 120Hz, the PS5 version of the game hard-set the console to run at that refresh rate – even if you weren’t using the 120H frame-rate mode. This presented several problems, the most notable being that many 4K TVs only support 120Hz at 1080p or 1440p, meaning that DMC5’s 4K-specific modes would produce a downscaled output.

Even those with the latest HDMI 2.1 displays capable of running full 4K at 120Hz would have issues with the game: Devil May Cry 5 would then run with an unlocked frame-rate, with the game often running in excess of 60 frames per second. While this was great for … Read the rest

Among Us’ upcoming map teased, more information coming in December

Adiantku 2 weeks ago

Among Us developer Innersloth has offered a sneak peek at an upcoming new map.

The teaser image showing off the latest Among Us map (which you can see at the bottom of the page) depicts a couple of crewmates on what appears to be the bridge of a new spaceship.

One of the characters shown in the image is wearing a monocle and top hat, and the other is dressed as a member of the ship’s standard crew, it seems.

The eagle-eyed amongst you (no pun intended) will probably notice a few key gameplay elements that have snuck onto the map, too.

In the bottom left, there’s a WiFi box that will no doubt be used for the Upload Data task, in the middle of the room, there’s a now-iconic vent, as well as another screen down on the right-hand side.

So when are we going to see more of this … Read the rest

Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War review – solid action with the potential for greatness

Adiantku 2 weeks ago

Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, the latest in Activision’s annual first-person shooter series, is a solid effort. Playing through its campaign, multiplayer and zombies modes – Call of Duty’s golden triangle – there is a lot to like. And I do believe Black Ops Cold War is probably the best game it has any right to be under the circumstances – circumstances that were troubled even before the pandemic forced the developers at Raven and Treyarch and the enormous quality assurance effort that goes into a Call of Duty to switch to work from home. Like a Black Ops operation behind enemy lines, Cold War is something of a miraculous rescue job, the result of what I have no doubt was a crushing effort to meet Activision’s launch deadline. That there is a solid game to play at all is a fantastic achievement. But, every now and then, … Read the rest
