Codemasters makes its first push for PlayStation 5 Pro support with an update to F1 24 - a release that adds ray tracing upgrades and integrates the machine's PSSR upscaling. Of course, F1 24 already has an impressive set of modes on the regular, base PS5, including support for 120fps gaming - and the same quality/performance divide remains on Pro, but with a range of enhancements for each. There's also a new 'resolution' mode that unlocks only when the Pro is connected to an 8K screen. We went hands on at the studio on PS5 Pro development hardware and while the code wasn't quite final, the upgrade is clearly impressive, particularly in the 60fps quality mode, where the EGO engine's ray tracing features are used extensively.

Going back to Dragon Age: Origins today for what was far from my first playthrough, I realised it's never really had a true sequel (or if maybe that's a little harsh for some: it's never had a sequel that followed it's classic RPG spirit in quite the same way). Yes, the world of Thedas has been further explored by Hawke and The Inquisitor - with Rook soon to be added to the list of overworked protagonists with a mate called Varric - but it's never felt like the spirit of Origin's Dungeons and Dragons-inspired design has ever truly been iterated on within the franchise. While lore has been fleshed out and new stories have irrevocably changed Thedas' future (and everybody's opinion on Anders and explosives), the core gameplay of Dragon Age has moved on from intricate tactical positioning and D&D-lite roleplaying to a sense of more 'current' combat and exploration - or at least what seemed like it was current, in the games of its time.

Congratulations are in order for Tomb Raider: The Legend of Lara Croft! Netflix's animated adaptation of the iconic video game series has successfully managed to appease the streaming service gods and will be returning for a second season (not that I'm extremely bitter about Kaos' cancellation or anything) at some unspecified future point.

We've seen some unique approaches to arachnophobia modes in video games as they've started to become more common in recent years, but nothing quite like Call of Duty: Black Ops 6's new approach. Activision's solution somehow makes everything even more horrifying, by robbing its zombie spiders of legs and turning them into something arguably worse.
