The Batman sequel to the critical darling that also happened to sell a whole bunch of games, Batman Arkham Asylum is still several months away, but developer Rocksteady Studios wants to show off their wares. Below is a teaser for the new Batman Arkham City that is definitely pretty, albeit somewhat light on the details.

Apparently Batman is being hunted by people who do not realize that the Caped Crusader is not to be trifled with, and the hunters quickly learn their mistakes.

The clip does not give much away, but expect a longer teaser, or perhaps a full blown trailer this weekend at the Spike TV Video Game Awards. For now, behold the prettiness that is a cinematic from Batman Arkham City.

Xbox may be about to test a surprisingly clever way to digitize game discs

A delayed Insider update has fueled speculation that Microsoft could soon reveal Positron, a system that reportedly turns physical games into transferable digital licenses

Microsoft may be preparing to bring Positron to Xbox Insiders as early as next week. The company hasn’t announced the feature or confirmed when players might see it, but a delayed Insider build has given the rumor somewhere to land.

Xbox Insider lead Brad Rossetti teased that the postponed update would be worth the wait. Windows Central executive editor Jez Corden then suggested Positron may be involved. Corden had previously reported the codename after references to the project appeared in Xbox software.

Black Ops multiplayer is a mess on PlayStation and Activision is rushing to fix it

Activision starts fixing hacked Black Ops lobbies that can lock players out of multiplayer

It has only been a few days since Activision brought Call of Duty: Black Ops and Black Ops 2 to the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5, and hackers are already ruining the experience for returning players.

Modded lobbies have started appearing in the original Black Ops, allowing some players to farm huge amounts of XP while others are being hit with negative XP that can drop their prestige below level 1 and lock them out of multiplayer. Activision has now deployed the first phase of a fix and says more protections are on the way.

AMD is quietly building a frame generation mode that beats Nvidia at its own game

AMD's next frame generation trick might make your GPU pump out seven extra frames for free.

AMD has been hinting at Multi-Frame Generation for its Radeon cards for a while now, and it looks like the company is further along than it has let on. Preliminary support quietly showed up in the ADLX FidelityFX SDK back in April with the FSR Redstone update, letting users pick a frame generation ratio for the best mix of performance and image quality.

Since then, AMD has shipped several big driver updates, including FSR 4.1.1. As reported by Wccftech, a user on the Chiphell forums used a tool called RadeonTuner to dig through the Adrenalin 26.6.2 WHQL drivers and found options AMD has not talked about publicly. RadeonTuner is a cleaner, more user-friendly take on the Adrenalin software, and it can surface features that live inside the driver but never appear in the official app.
