Summer Game Fest 2021 will be much less stretched out

In the wake of the cancellation of E3 2020, the Summer Game Fest was established, which attempted to bring all of the many various game showcases and announcements under one single unified banner. Unfortunately, the Summer Game Fest suffered somewhat due to taking place over the span of many months. For 2021, the Summer Game Fest is targeting a much more focused and compact celebration of video games.

Though it may only be February, preparations for the 2021 Summer Game Fest appear to already be underway, with the official Twitter account teasing “New year. New colors”. In the wake of some criticism that the Game Fest received last year, the event’s creator Geoff Keighley revealed that this year the Game Festival will take place over the course of “less than 1 month.”

With E3 seemingly preparing for some sort of return in 2021, it will be interesting to see what Summer Game Fest has planned, and what publishers it will partner with.

Unlike with 2020, Summer Game Fest taking place over the course of less than a single month will require a much tighter relationship between all of the publishers and the festival. As such, it will be interesting to see exactly what Geoff Keighley has planned for this year’s iteration, and how it will compare to the likes of E3.

KitGuru Games: DLSS 5 misses the point

It would be hard to argue that NVIDIA’s DLSS technologies haven’t been a net positive to the PC space, with the machine-learning based upscaler successfully translating lower resolution inputs into a final image which is perceivably sharper while hogging fewer resources. Though somewhat more contentious, the next evolution of DLSS came in the form of Frame Generation, using ML in order to generate additional frames for high-refresh rate gaming. Both techniques can have their issues, but generally speaking they’ve allowed for more people to experience higher-end titles at increased frame rates. DLSS 5, however, takes a sharp pivot, with a very different end goal in mind than the performance-boosting versions that came before.
