🎮 PlayStation, Multi-platformThe New PlayStation Black Ops Ports Feel Like The Bare Minimum
The first two Call of Duty: Black Ops games have launched on PS5 and PS4(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/black-ops-1-and-2-are-coming-to-ps4-and-ps5/), but they're not exactly the remasters that fans were expecting. Both games feature a high price considering their age--$40 each--while their respective DLC packs are being sold as optional extras(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/call-of-duty-black-ops-1-and-2-ports-are-out-now-on-ps5-but-dlc-costs-extra/), an odd move considering how most remasters include that content to sweeten the deal. To make things worse, it looks like the technical presentation isn't much to write home about either, as the PlayStation ports feature barely any noticeable improvements at all. According to Digital Foundry(https://www.digitalfoundry.net/news/2026/07/the-new-call-of-duty-black-ops-port-charges-usd40p35-for-a-basic-1080p-upgrade), Call of Duty: Black Ops 1 and 2 have been updated to run at 1080p on PS5 and PS4, and that's it. No option for a 4K resolution on PS5 or the opportunity to push the framerate to 120Hz, no improved shadows or lighting, and no quality-of-life updates like you'd find in modern Call of Duty games at all. In comparison, the original Call of Duty: Black Ops 1 and 2 games get the resolution bump for free on Xbox Series X|S through the console's backwards compatibility program, while PC gamers have been creating custom mods for years now. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZUdEf79y7jw As mentioned above, each remaster is being sold for $40, and their map packs cost $30 each. That's $70 per game, but it is worth mentioning that Activision is offering a discount to PlayStation Plus subscribers, dropping the price to $20 per game and $10 per map pack. Still, paying $60 per complete edition of a game is expensive, especially when they aren't that much of an improvement compared to the original titles. "For a native PS5 title and a somewhat high-profile port, this is a deeply odd state of affairs. Even the game's obvious visual blemishes are preserved: shadow quality was necessarily poor back in the day, but why preserve that problem in the present day when so much more graphics horsepower is available?" Digital Foundry wrote. Meanwhile, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4(https://www.gamespot.com/games/call-of-duty-modern-warfare-4/) was recently revealed and will be out later this year. Unlike the 2024 and 2025 games, Black Ops 6 and Black Ops 7, Modern Warfare 4 will not be available on Game Pass at launch, and Activision is busy reminding players in ads for the game(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/activision-promotes-call-of-duty-mw4-by-telling-you-its-not-on-game-pass/). Modern Warfare 4 will launch for PC, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and Switch 2(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/modern-warfare-4-on-switch-2-has-been-so-smooth-for-infinity-ward/) on October 23.

🖥 PlayStation, Xbox, PCAssassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced: Best ship upgrades
!(https://assetsio.gnwcdn.com/ship-upgrades-black-flag-resynced.jpg?width=690&quality=85&format=jpg&auto=webp) Naval combat is at the forefront of Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced, and there are a great many upgrades for Edward Kenway's prize vessel, the Jackdaw. Some of these improve its durability, while others amplify its firepower. And if you're a devil-may-care sort of pirate who just wants to smash into rival ships, you can do that too! Choosing between all of the ship upgrades can be tricky, especially if this is your first time exploring the Caribbean and you never experienced Edward's journey back in 2013. In this guide, we'll outline the five best ship upgrades in Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced, giving you a sense of what to focus on first when it comes time to turn the Jackdaw from a ramshackle boat into a true terror of the sea.

🎮 PlayStation, Nintendo Switch, Xbox, Multi-platformA New Update For The Adventures Of Elliot: The Millennium Tales Fixes The Game's Most Annoying Feature
!The Adventures of Elliot The Millennium Tales HD-2D Team Asano Square Enix PS5 Xbox Series X/S PC Steam Nintendo Switch 2(https://www.gameinformer.com/sites/default/files/styles/bodydefault/public/2026/07/10/ecb13f14/adventuresofelliotheader.jpg.webp) Octopath Traveler(https://www.gameinformer.com/review/octopath-traveler/an-arduous-but-rewarding-journey) series developer Team Asano launched(https://www.gameinformer.com/nintendo-direct/2026/02/05/the-adventures-of-elliot-the-millennium-tales-arrives-in-june) its HD-2D action RPG, The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales(https://www.gameinformer.com/product/the-adventures-of-elliot-the-millennium-tales), last month on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC. Though many are enjoying the game, there is near-universal agreement that Faie, the companion fairy that accompanies Elliot on his adventure, talks way too much. A new update released today across all platforms lets you turn off Faie's voice completely, providing a fix for the game's most annoying feature. The Adventures of Elliot is, no doubt, aiming to be a Zelda-like adventure, and Faie can be seen as a stand-in for Navi. Despite general grievances with Link's fairy in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, you'd be hard-pressed to find someone who finds Navi to be more talkative than Faie. Team Asano was seemingly aware of Faie's communication style, giving players the option to tone down how often she speaks in the game's options – which was available from the jump. However, listening to player feedback since the game's launch, today's 1.1.0 update allows you to completely turn off Faie's voice. The update's patch notes(https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/3483510/view/680754149992695962?l=english) are short and sweet. In addition to adding an option to turn off Faie's voice, this update also "adjusts tutorial behavior," fixes FPS drops on some PCs when Faie is present, and fixes some minor bugs. The update is available to download right now on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC. In the meantime, read Game Informer's review of The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales(https://www.gameinformer.com/review/the-adventures-of-elliot-the-millennium-tales/history-repeats-itself) to learn why we enjoyed the game, despite Faie's insistence on preventing any and all silence. After that, check out our reviews for Team Asano's other games, like Octopath Traveler 0(https://www.gameinformer.com/review/octopath-traveler-0/going-from-zero-to-hero), Octopath Traveler II(https://www.gameinformer.com/review/octopath-traveler-ii/two-is-better-than-one), and Triangle Strategy(https://www.gameinformer.com/review/triangle-strategy/powerful-conviction-shines-over-dark-times).

!(https://assetsio.gnwcdn.com/edward-standing-high-on-viewpoint.jpg?width=690&quality=85&format=jpg&auto=webp) There's nothing like climbing an extremely high tower and getting a spectacular view of the surrounding area in an Assassin's Creed game, and in Black Flag Resynced, plenty of tall perches across Havana, Kingston, Nassau and the many islands of the Caribbean await. These Viewpoints aren't just a rush to climb - they also unfog the map and serve as Fast Travel points, letting Edward Kenway zip across the map at a moment's notice. There are 61 Viewpoints in Black Flag's map, and even if you played the original 2013 game, chances are you've forgotten where all of these points are. In this guide, we'll present a handy list of all Viewpoint locations in Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced and how to fast travel between them, ensuring that you can climb them all and unlock 100% of the world map.
