A ratings board wouldn't let Valve release a trailer. It "leaked" it instead.
Back in 2009, Ars wrote about what was being reported as a leaked trailer for the then-upcoming Left 4 Dead 2, saying the footage "looks like it’s straight from a high-gloss action movie." Today, we need to offer an important update to this crucial, 17-year-old story: The trailer "leak" was orchestrated by Valve itself. That news comes courtesy of former Valve writer Chet Faliszek, who said in a newly posted video about cut lines in the game that "for Left 4 Dead 2 with the ESRB... we leaked ou

I've found DLSS 5 can slash frame rates by up to 73% on an RTX 5080 gaming PC in NBA 2K27, and I'm wondering what kind of mega-rig would justify the performance hit
At what cost AI-enhanced graphics? Frames, it seems.

'Can I cry?': Stalker 2 devs say its 2.0 update's engine overhaul was a nightmare—but worth the effort
Earlier this month, Stalker 2 received a massive version 2.0 update to accompany the launch of its Cost of Hope expansion. Our Joshua Wolens says that—for those of us who've been patiently holding off while Stalker 2 finds a steady footing—it's the update that we've been waiting for, thanks in large part to developer GSC Game World's Herculean undertaking of updating its engine from Unreal 5.1 to Unreal 5.5.4...

Nvidia's controversial, face-changing, gen-AI DLSS 5 tech releases tomorrow for one game, and seems to tank frame-rates

The game is NBA 2K7, and the GeForce drivers for DLSS 5 arrive Thursday night in the US (9pm PDT) and early Friday morning here (5am BST). This is only available for GeForce 50-series graphics cards, laptops and GeForce Now. Read more

Monster Hunter Wilds: Ascendance shows off the new Boost mechanic, and every Devil May Cry fan is thinking the same thing
Capcom has released some more footage of Monster Hunter Wilds Ascendance's new Boost Bracer mechanic, and Devil May Cry fans are all thinking the same thing. The Capcom Showcase later this month surely has to show more of Monster Hunter Wilds Ascendance, given that – outside of Mega Man: Dual Override and the Dragon's Dogma 2 DLC – Capcom's major releases for this year are all out. Ahead of it (and Tokyo Game Show) the devs are releasing some short videos showcasing the new mechanics featured

I played 30 minutes of Alien Isolation 2 and yes, it is scarier than the original
My half hour with Alien Isolation 2 wasn't supposed to end like this. I've spent the last few minutes crouch-walking through a wrecked spaceship. It's dark in here – too dark to see more than an arm's length ahead. A storm buffets the vessel, the yawning groan of metal sheets slowly being pulled from the ship's carcass by strong winds – or straining beneath heavy, unnatural footsteps – setting my teeth on edge. Electrical sparks land in pools of stagnant water. Nearby, a control panel flickers w

Nvidia's DLSS 5 Neural Rendering Tech Officially Launches on September 3, Hits Performance by Around 50–60%
Just last week, Nvidia's controversial DLSS 5 technology leaked when a DLL file was found in the NBA 2K27 beta. It shouldn't be too surprising, then, that the technology will be officially launching on September 3 in, well, NBA 2K27. Nvidia bills DLSS 5 as a 3D-bound neural rendering technique, which takes geometry and color data from the game you're playing, and then draws an AI-generated image on top of the rendered frame. The goal is to maximize photorealism, without the massive computation

Nvidia’s DLSS 5 looks compelling in NBA 2K with performance improvements since March — but will gamers accept it?
Nvidia showed off its latest progress with the DLSS 5 tech for enhancing 3D images in games, and it showed off photorealistic content in NBA 2K27. Behind closed doors at Gamescom 2026 last week, I saw demos of the technology in action, and the imagery looked much better than it did when Nvidia showed it off six months ago and ran into an anti-AI buzz saw from gamers. The tech is controversial in part because it uses generative AI to fill in details that aren’t otherwise present in the images

NVIDIA’s DLSS 5 Is Powerful, Strange, And Easy To Misunderstand
There has been a lot of discussion about NVIDIA’s DLSS 5 since files from NBA 2K27 leaked online and modders had a field day, but the technology is more complex than some of the early examples suggest. Yes, DLSS 5 can make games look like living nightmares when it is not implemented properly, but after finally learning more about how the technology works, I am convinced it is not simply an “AI slop” filter. It is doing something incredibly interesting, even if it will not work for every game.
