Skyrim Forgotten Vale’s Frozen Majesty, Reborn in Unreal Engine 5

By Bill Smith February 28, 2026

Leo Torres has done an incredible job with his new Skyrim project. He takes the Forgotten Vale from the Dawnguard expansion and essentially reimagines it from scratch in Unreal Engine 5.7.2. Anyone who has delved into this place will know it as a vast, glacial valley dotted with ancient elven ruins, those rather disturbing falmer enemies, and an atmosphere of endless isolation. He increases its scale to give it a more realistic and lore-accurate feel, completely free of the constraints of Skyrim’s original graphics engine. The resulting result runs smoothly on an RTX 3090 and has sixteen times the level of detail you would have seen in 2012.

By Bill Smith February 28, 2026

In the early 1990s, handheld gaming was booming, and two absolute titans ruled the roost: Nintendo’s Game Boy and SEGA’s Game Gear.

By Jackson Chung February 27, 2026

OPPO Find N6 Set to Arrive as Foldable that Finally Makes the Crease Feel Like Yesterday’s Problem

By Jackson Chung February 27, 2026

OPPO engineers spent nearly three years methodically tuning every detail of the Find N6’s hinge and display component. They went back and adjusted the alignment tolerances to a very small 0.03 mm gap, resulting in a screen surface that remains flat even after repetitive folding and unfolding. Along with this ultra-precise hinge, a special type of self-healing glass layer works its magic to maintain the display flat over time, even after extensive wear and tear. Everything happens without leaving any permanent scars. In fact, the self-healing glass and titanium alloy hinge work so well together that the panel can be restored to its original flatness despite the strain.

PS5 Pro Set to Get Upgraded PSSR Upscaling Technology, Starting with Resident Evil Requiem

By Bill Smith February 27, 2026

Sony has confirmed an upgrade to their PSSR upscaling technology for the PS5 Pro, which is expected to provide significant improvements to gameplay visuals. PSSR stands for PlayStation Spectral Super quality, and it’s essentially an AI-powered tool that examines each pixel in a game frame before rebuilding the image at a higher quality. Since its release, developers have used it to increase the effective resolution in over 50 PS5 Pro titles, but the latest version is a total overhaul, with a new neural network and a fresh way of looking at the entire process.

By Bill Smith February 27, 2026
