What’s up, everyone? I’m gonna assume you’ve already seen the announcement trailer for Grasshopper Manufacture’s all-new title, Romeo Is A Dead Man. If not, then do yourself a favor and go watch it now. It’s cool – I’ll wait two and a half minutes. Play Video OK, so you get that there’s gonna be a whole lot of extremely bloody battle action and exploring some weird places, but I think a lot of people may be confused by the sheer amount of information packed into two and a half minutes… Today, we’ll give you a teensy little glimpse of how Romeo Stargazer – aka “DeadMan”, a special agent in the FBI division known as the Space-Time Police – goes about his “investigations”. Romeo Is A Dead Man, abbreviated as… I don’t know, RiaDM? or maybe RoDeMa, if you’re nasty? Anyway, one of the most notable features of the game is the rich variety of graphic styles used to depict the game world. Seriously, it’s all over the place – but like, in a good way. The meticulously-tweaked action parts are done in stunning, almost photorealistic 3D, and we’ve thrown everything but the kitchen sink into the more story-based parts. And don’t worry, GhM fans – we promise: for as much work as we’ve put into making the game look cool and unique, the story itself is also ridiculously bonkers, as is tradition here at Grasshopper Manufacture. We think longtime fans will enjoy it, and newcomers will have their heads exploding. Either way, you’re guaranteed to see some stuff you’ve never seen before. As for the actual battles, our hero Romeo is heavily armed with both katana-style melee weapons and gun-style ranged weapons alike, which the player can switch between while dispersing beatdowns. However even the weaker, goombah-type enemies are pretty hardcore. You’re gonna have to think up combinations of melee, ranged, heavy, and light attacks to get by. But the stupidly gratuitous amount of blood splatter and catharsis you’re rewarded with when landing a real nuclear power move of a combo is awe-inspiring, if that’s your thing. On top of the kinda-humanoid creatures you’ve already seen, known as “Rotters”, we’ve got all kinds of other ultra-creepy, unique enemies waiting to bite your face off! Now, let’s look at one of the main centerpieces of any GhM game: the boss battles. This particular boss is, well, hella big. His name is “Everyday Is Like Monday”, because of course it is. It’s on you to make sure Romeo can dodge the mess of attacks launched by this big-ass tyrant and take him down to Chinatown. It’s one of the most feelgood beatdowns of the year! Also, being a member of something called the “Space-Time Police” means that obviously Romeo is gonna be visiting all sorts of weird, “…what?”-type places. And awaiting him at these weird, “…what?”-type places are a range of weird, “…what?”-type puzzles that only the highest double-digit IQ players will be able to solve! This thing looks like a simple sphere that someone just kinda dropped and busted, but once you really wrap your dome around it and get it solved, damn it feels good. There are a slew of other puzzles and gimmicks strategically or possibly just randomly strewn throughout the game, so keep your eyeballs peeled for them and try not to break any controllers as you encounter them along your mission. That’s all for now, but obviously there are still a whole bunch of important game elements we have yet to discuss, so stay tuned for next time! #romeo #dead #man #sneak #peak

Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater, launching August 28 on PlayStation 5, is a remake of the 2004 PlayStation 2 classic, Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater. I had a conversation with the developers during a Tokyo press event to discuss the upcoming remake and its development process.  ​​ Faithfully replicating the thrill and impact of the original PlayStation Blog: How important was it to your team to create a game that stayed true to the original? Noriaki Okamura: We began this project with the intention of bringing a 20-year-old game to the present day. While we updated the graphics and certain game mechanics to ensure today’s players could fully enjoy the experience, we wanted to stay true to the original as much as possible. What challenges did your team face during development, and what specific adjustments were implemented? Okamura: I had no intention of altering the original story, so I insisted that we can just update the game graphics. Korekado disagreed and warned me that that approach will not work, but I initially had the team re-create the game just with new character models. Although the graphics improved, they appeared doll-like and unrealistic, so I finally realized that my plan was inadequate. Yuji Korekado: We began by reworking the animation and game mechanics. We implemented animation programming that didn’t exist two decades ago to make the game more realistic, but that also meant we couldn’t reproduce the original game mechanics. Metal Gear is a stealth game, so it’s crucial for players to be able to make precise movements. We put in a lot of effort to replicate the same feel as the original, while maintaining realism. Are there any areas of the game that you wanted to recreate as faithfully as possible? Korekado: We made sure that the jungle looked as realistic as possible. We devoted a lot of time modeling every fine detail like leaves, grass, and moss covering the ground. Since the perspective shifts along with the character’s movements, players will get a closer look at the ground when they’re crouching or crawling. To make sure the environment was immersive from every angle, we carefully crafted every element with great precision. ​​ Have any enhancements been made compared to the original PS2 version? Korekado: We enhanced the visuals to be more intuitive. Thanks to increased memory and much faster speeds the user experience has improved significantly, including faster transitions to the Survival Viewer or having a quick menu to swap uniforms. On top of that, the audio improvements are remarkable. Sound absorption rates vary depending on the materials of the walls and floors, which allows players to detect enemies behind walls or nearby animals intuitively. In areas like caves and long corridors, unique echo parameters help distinguish different environments, which I think is a major advancement for stealth gameplay. Extra content for players to enjoy diverse gameplay The remake features Fox Hunt, a new online multiplayer mode. Why did you include this in the game instead of Metal Gear Online? Yu Sahara: The remake features significantly enhanced graphics, so we explored various online modes that aligned with these improvements. We decided to focus on stealth, sneaking, and survival, since those are also the key pillars of the main game. We landed on a concept that is based on hide-and-seek, that is classic Metal Gear, while also being reminiscent of the stealth missions featured in the earlier MGO. Can players earn rewards by playing the Fox Hunt mode? Sahara: While there are no items that can be transferred to the main game, players can unlock rewards like new camouflage options by playing Fox Hunt multiple times. Were there any challenges or specific areas of focus while remaking Snake vs Monkey mode? Taiga Ishigami: Our main goal was to make Pipo Monkey even more charming, cute, and entertaining. We developed new character actions, including the “Gotcha!” motion, and each animation and sound effect were carefully reviewed to ensure it captured Pipo Monkey’s personality. If anything felt off, we made changes right away. I heard the new Snake vs Monkey mode features an Astro Bot collab. Ishigami: Yes, a couple of bots from the Astro Bot game will make an appearance, and you can capture them just like the Pipo Monkeys. Capturing these bots isn’t required to finish the levels, but you’ll receive unique rewards if you do. Depending on the level, either a standard bot or a Pipo Monkey bot will be hidden away, so be sure to keep an eye out for them. ​​ Do you have any final words for new players as well as longtime fans of the original game? Okamura: I rarely cry when playing games, but I remember bawling my eyes out while playing the original Metal Gear Solid 3. The development of Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater was driven by our goal to faithfully capture the impact and thrill that players felt two decades ago. Metal Gear Solid 3 is the ultimate example of storytelling in games, and having dreamed of making a game like this, I now feel a sense of fulfillment. I hope everyone enjoys the story as much as I do. Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater arrives on PS5 on August 28.  Read a new hands-on report with the game. #metal #gear #solid #delta #snake

It’s been over two decades since Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater was first released on PlayStation 2. The game was praised for its story, characters, and possibly one of the greatest themes in video game history. After some brumation, it sheds its skin and emerges as Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater on August 28, aiming to recapture the spirit that made the original a beloved classic. After about eight hours of playing the game on PS5 Pro, I’m thrilled to share how it captures and modernizes the original’s spirit, and then some. Play Video Delta is a true from-the-ground-up remake that is extremely faithful to the original work in most aspects of the game, but what was immediately apparent was the level of detail the updated visuals and textures add to the experience.  A new level of visual fidelity View and download image Download the image close Close Download this image View and download image Download the image close Close Download this image View and download image Download the image close Close Download this image View and download image Download the image close Close Download this image View and download image Download the image close Close Download this image This updated version of Snake Eater is a visual feast on PS5 Pro, especially in the lush details. For example, rain droplets trickle realistically down a poncho, and Snake’s camouflage and uniforms become dirty with mud or forest debris. This filth even carries over into cutscenes, adding an appreciated level of realism. The Metal Gear series showcases a range of grizzled warriors, many with scars that tell a tale. If you’re familiar with Snake Eater, you understand that scars hold a lot of importance throughout, and the devs took great care to make them stand out. One of the most notable examples is Colonel Volgin’s harrowingly scarred face. The believable tissue and its deformation when he speaks create a tragically beautiful portrait.  Speaking of portraits, a new photo mode has been added with all the latest bells and whistles. Like most Metal Gear games, Delta definitely has its fair share of silly moments, and you can capture them all. With plenty of filters and settings, create a masterpiece on the mountainside, or dress up in a crocodile head and let antics ensue. Photo Mode is the perfect way to capture all the little details hiding within. Game controls – New Style vs. Legacy A new control scheme has been introduced to bring Snake Eater to the modern gaming era, dubbed New Style. Before starting a new game, players can choose between the New Style and Legacy, which retains the controls mapped after the original PS2 release. You can switch between styles, but be warned, this will reload the level/map and take you back to the beginning of the section. New Style is geared for people who have never played the game before, or who might prefer a more modern playstyle. The control option provides a free-moving camera that lets you view your environment in 360 degrees, making it easier to avoid getting lost or having enemies catch you unprepared. Combat and shooting feel reminiscent of Metal Gear Solid V, with a third-person over-the-shoulder camera. By default, aim assist is turned on, but can be toggled off. Even in New Style, you can still switch to a classic first-person view and still fully move around as if playing a FPS title. First-person view is especially valuable when lining up the perfect shot through a chainlink fence, which I couldn’t pull off in third-person. The biggest saving grace in the updated control scheme is the remapped directional buttons. Holding left brings up your non-combat inventory, and holding right brings up your currently equipped weapons. Up brings up the quick-change camouflage menu, while down brings up your radio —a hugely welcome shortcut. No more digging through menus to change outfits based on your environment. Snake sneaks through a range of environments in Snake Eater, each suited to different camouflage options The quick change menu conveniently shows the optimal face and body combo from your collection based on the current environmentIn one instance, I managed to seamlessly transition from a green texture to a stone grey-black getup, then to a rust-colored camouflage, all along the same crawl route. This new quality-of-life option keeps the action flowing. Another great accessibility feature is the ability to fine-tune game hints. From always-on to none at all. I had it set to show helpful hints when they were relevant, like swimming controls appearing by a body of water and hanging controls on the cliffside. This is particularly helpful in rare gameplay situations, as it kept me from panicking in high-stress situations.  What a thrill The voice cast still delivers, and The Cobra Unit is just as compelling, with big moments still having the right impact. The ladder scene took me right back to playing the original on my grandmother’s floor all those years ago.  Paradoxes, easter eggs, and all the details I’d expect are still in place. I didn’t encounter any moments that felt off or deviated too far in any way from the script. The opening theme and intro movie have been remixed, and while it will come down to personal taste, every note still hits for me.  Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater launches on August 28 for PS5, and is a day to mark on your calendar whether you’re a longtime fan or series newcomer interested in discovering the celebrated origins of the storyline.   Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater developers discuss the game in length in a new interview. #metal #gear #solid #delta #snake

At Gamescom, NVIDIA is releasing its first major update to Project G‑Assist — an experimental on-device AI assistant that allows users to tune their NVIDIA RTX systems with voice and text commands. The update brings a new AI model that uses 40% less VRAM, improves tool-calling intelligence and extends G-Assist support to all RTX GPUs with 6GB or more VRAM, including laptops. Plus, a new G-Assist Plug-In Hub enables users to easily discover and download plug-ins to enable more G-Assist features. NVIDIA also announced a new path-traced particle system, coming in September to the NVIDIA RTX Remix modding platform, that brings fully simulated physics, dynamic shadows and realistic reflections to visual effects. In addition, NVIDIA named the winners of the NVIDIA and ModDB RTX Remix Mod Contest. Check out the winners and finalist RTX mods in the RTX Remix GeForce article. G-Assist Gets Smarter, Expands to More RTX PCs The modern PC is a powerhouse, but unlocking its full potential means navigating a complex maze of settings across system software, GPU and peripheral utilities, control panels and more. Project G-Assist is a free, on-device AI assistant built to cut through that complexity. It acts as a central command center, providing easy access to functions previously buried in menus through voice or text commands. Users can ask the assistant to: Run diagnostics to optimize game performance Display or chart frame rates, latency and GPU temperatures Adjust GPU or even peripheral settings, such as keyboard lighting The G-Assist update also introduces a new, significantly more efficient AI model that’s faster and uses 40% less memory while maintaining response accuracy. The more efficient model means that G-Assist can now run on all RTX GPUs with 6GB or more VRAM, including laptops. Getting started is simple: install the NVIDIA app and the latest Game Ready Driver on Aug. 19, download the G-Assist update from the app’s home screen and press Alt+G to activate. Another G-Assist update coming in September will introduce support for laptop-specific commands for features like NVIDIA BatteryBoost and Battery OPS. Introducing the G-Assist Plug-In Hub With Mod.io NVIDIA is collaborating with mod.io to launch the G-Assist Plug-In Hub, which allows users to easily access G-Assist plug-ins, as well as discover and download community-created ones. With the mod.io plug-in, users can ask G-Assist to discover and install new plug-ins. With the latest update, users can also directly ask G-Assist what new plug-ins are available in the hub and install them using natural language, thanks to a mod.io plug-in. The recent G-Assist Plug-In Hackathon showcased the incredible creativity of the G-Assist community. Here’s a sneak peek of what they came up with: Some finalists include: Omniplay — allows gamers to use G-Assist to research lore from online wikis or take notes in real time while gaming Launchpad — lets gamers set, launch and toggle custom app groups on the fly to boost productivity Flux NIM Microservice for G-Assist — allows gamers to easily generate AI images from within G-Assist, using on-device NVIDIA NIM microservices The winners of the hackathon will be announced on Wednesday, Aug. 20. Building custom plug-ins is simple. They’re based on a foundation of JSON and Python scripts — and the Project G-Assist Plug-In Builder helps further simplify development by enabling users to code plug-ins with natural language. Mod It Like It’s Hot With RTX Remix  Classic PC games remain beloved for their unforgettable stories, characters and gameplay — but their dated graphics can be a barrier for new and longtime players. NVIDIA RTX Remix enables modders to revitalize these timeless titles with the latest NVIDIA gaming technologies — bridging nostalgic gameplay with modern visuals. Since the platform’s release, the RTX Remix modding community has grown with over 350 active projects and over 100 mods released. The mods span a catalog of beloved games like Half-Life 2, Need for Speed: Underground, Portal 2 and Deus Ex — and have amassed over 2 million downloads. In May, NVIDIA invited modders to participate in the NVIDIA and ModDB RTX Remix Mod Contest for a chance to win in cash prizes. At Gamescom, NVIDIA announced the winners: Best Overall RTX Mod Winner: Painkiller RTX Remix, by Binq_Adams Best Use of RTX in a Mod Winner: Painkiller RTX Remix, by Binq_Adams Runner-Up: Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines – RTX Remaster, by Safemilk Most Complete RTX Mod Winner: Painkiller RTX Remix, by Binq_Adams Runner-Up: I-Ninja Remixed, by g.i.george333 Community Choice RTX Mod Winner: Call of Duty 2 RTX Remix of Carentan, by tadpole3159 These modders tapped RTX Remix and generative AI to bring their creations to life — from enhancing textures to quickly creating images and 3D assets. For example, the Merry Pencil Studios modder team used a workflow that seamlessly connected RTX Remix and ComfyUI, allowing them to simply select textures in the RTX Remix viewport and, with a single click in ComfyUI, restore them. The results are stunning, with each texture meticulously recreated with physically based materials layered with grime and rust. With a fully path-traced lighting system, the game’s gothic horror atmosphere has never felt more immersive to play through. All mods submitted to the RTX Remix Modding Contest, as well as 100 more Remix mods, are available to download from ModDB. For a sneak peek at RTX Remix projects under active development, check out the RTX Remix Showcase Discord server.
