Fortnite’s new mode is an FPS that’s a lot like Counter-Strike

Fortnite’s new mode is an FPS that’s a lot like Counter-Strike

Epic Games is about to let Fortnite creators publish experiences with first-person modes, and to help show what’s possible, Epic itself is introducing a tactical FPS shooter that seems like it will play a lot like Counter-Strike or Valorant. The new mode, called “Ballistic,” is “an adrenaline-filled, round-based 5v5 competitive game mode where strategy, tactical teamwork, and individual prowess are essential for victory,” according to an Epic blog post. Players will be split into two teams, with one that has to plant the bomb — sorry, I mean the “Rift Point Device” — and another that has to defend against that. Between rounds, you’ll be able to buy gear for the next one. Teams will switch sides after six rounds, and the first to win seven rounds will be crowned the victor. This isn’t the first time Epic has cribbed a game idea for Fortnite: its racing and festival modes both borrow a lot from Psyonix’s Rocket League and Harmonix’s Rock Band (Epic owns both studios), the Lego survival mode has a lot of similarities …

AMD’s new frame generation tech rolls out to boost FPS in more games

AFMF is a frame-generation technology similar to Nvidia’s DLSS Frame Generation, but operates on the driver-level instead of game-specific integration. The second-gen AFMF update can be enabled in OpenGL, Vulkan, DirectX 11, or DirectX 12 games — meaning fps can now be improved in titles that don’t support FSR and DLSS — and currently works on AMD Radeon RX 6000, RX 7000, 700M, and 800M GPUs. According to AMD’s tests, AFMF 2 (alongside other optimizations) can provide an impressive framerate boost compared to raw game performance.Image: AMD AFMF 2 can increase fps by up to 250 percent “on average” according to AMD, but that was tested in combination with the company’s FSR 2 tech and Hypr-RX optimization suite. Actual performance will also vary by GPU, game, and resolution. Digital Foundry reports fps was boosted “typically in the 2x range” when it tested the AFMF 2 beta in Control, CyberPunk 2077, and Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II at 4K using a Radeon RX 7900 GRE GPU. The AFMF update notably includes fast motion optimization, which should address …

PUBG to Get 120 FPS Support on Samsung Galaxy S24 and Galaxy S23 Lineup, Galaxy Z Fold 5

Samsung has confirmed that several of its premium handsets will support the popular mobile game PUBG at a higher frame rate than before. The battle royale game published by Krafton is available to smartphone users on both Android and iOS devices. Up until recently, the game supported frame rate of up to 90fps (frames per second).

AMD’s new frame generation technology can boost FPS on most PC games

AMD is adding its own frame generation technology to any DirectX 11 or 12 game to boost frame rates for its Radeon RX 6000, RX 7000, and 700M GPUs. AMD Fluid Motion Frames (AFMF) is now available as part of the company’s latest Adrenalin GPU driver, which also includes support for a new AMD Video Upscaling technology. AMD says Fluid Motion Frames can boost fps by up to 97 percent in some DirectX 11 / 12 games at 1080p resolution, with the company’s FidelityFX Super Resolution 2 (FSR 2) enabled. The performance bump at 1440p is “up to 103 percent average” in select titles. AMD has tested this all on the company’s latest $329 RX 7600 XT GPU, which it claims is “ready to take on 1440p.” Much like Nvidia’s DLSS 3, Fluid Motion Frames “may introduce additional latency to games,” warns AMD. So it’s probably not something you want to enable in competitive shooters, although you can also enable AMD’s Radeon Anti-Lag feature to help reduce the additional in-game latency. You’ll also need to play …
