EB: There are more than a few new video game releases to consider this week, although only one is what the industry considers to be AAA, which is Mirror’s Edge Catalyst. Although The Sims 4 is getting the Dine Out expansion, and Soul Axiom is releasing for the PS4 and Xbox One, so there are a few other identifiable franchises releasing. Another game to consider is the new Sherlock Holmes title, which is releasing for the Xbox One, PC, and PS4 this Friday.

Today it's that team who are delivering a Redux version of Sherlock Holmes: The Devil's Daughter to the world."
Kaan writes: "Mirror's Edge will likely never get a third try. The second game does not look like a cheap effort. By all accounts it is beautiful, especially with its FPS Boost enhancements. The city glows at nights and shines in the day. Lights will reflect off of Catalyst’s many structures made of glass. It’s spectacular to run through. But such a lavish production often comes with risk aversion and sadly Catalyst crumbles under this pressure. It’s held back by the pressure to conform, rather than trying to be genuinely different."
The parkour was great. It was just the story and characters didn't get interesting until the final moments and then it was to late.
Digital Foundry: Microsoft's FPS Boost support expands again, this time with 120Hz upgrades for 12 games and a 60fps boost for one! We decided to check out the improvement to some of our favourite games in the line-up, including the three Battlefield games that are supported, Titanfall and Mirror's Edge Catalyst. Which consoles support which games, what's the performance really like and are there resolution compromises?
Microsoft is killing it. Meanwhile Sony only lets developers upgrade older games if they make a PS5 version. Which means, less games getting upgrades on Sony’s offering.
Man, that makes me want to reinstall the OG Titanfall... seeing people still playing it. Memories
