“Learn How To Code” – Team Behind PS3 Emulator RPCS3 Has Had Enough Of People “Peddling AI Slop”
“Leave behind something useful to humanity when you’re gone”. The team behind the excellent open-source PS3 emulator RPCS3 has been forced to update its guidelines for submitting AI-generated code after being inundated with time-wasting “vibe coded” pull requests. “Please stop submitting AI slop code pull requests to RPCS3,” says the team on social media. “We…

“Thanks For Destroying Your Own Legacy” – Quarter-Century Of Online Gaming History Vanishes As Digital Press Forum Goes Dark
“Whilst this is not the situation which most of us wished for, it is nonetheless the current situation”. If you’re an old fogie like me, then you’ll be aware of Digital Press. One of the earliest sites to truly celebrate and catalogue gaming’s history – both past and present – Digital Press was founded back…
UK Charts: Tomodachi Life Stands Strong As Pragmata Falls Off A Cliff
Swings and roundabouts. The latest UK boxed charts data is in, and it seems World Cup fever might be starting to take hold with EA SPORTS FC 26 climbing its way back to number 1. Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream now finds itself back at number 2, but it’s clear the game is maintaining good…
If you’ve ever had your shoes stolen in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2, that was apparently PC Gamer’s fault, sorry
Prokop Jirsa is the lead designer of Kingdom Come Deliverance 2, and now one of Warhorse Studios’ two creative directors. Our Joshua Wolens recently spoke to him about their games’ love of making things difficult for players, but another topic that came up was their systems-driven nature and the role a PC Gamer article played…
Roblox wants AI to make its games photorealistic, but the devs making those games aren’t sold on the idea: ‘I don’t think that your average player right now wants to do that’
When Nvidia comes out with something like DLSS 5, promising that AI can be used to make realistic videogames look even more shiny and real, it makes a kind of sense. Of course Nvidia thinks that’s what we want. When the same kind of promise comes from Roblox, it makes less sense. Roblox Reality promises…
Steam week in review: Forza Horizon is the last truly mainstream multiplatform racing series
Forza Horizon 6 has been one of the top sellers on Steam since early April and it’s not even out yet.

This Team Fortress 2 zombie mod looks so good, we almost thought it was official
My high school years were spent pumping thousands of hours into games like Killing Floor 2 and Team Fortress 2, so I’m glad a mod like the upcoming Mann Versus Zombies—a total conversion which turns TF2 into a zombie-blasting horde survival bonanza—didn’t come out during my high school years. I probably would not have graduated….
I went back to Grand Theft Auto 4 for a Call of Duty zombie mod mash up and came away wondering how the heck I got this old
There’s something fitting about a bygone zombie mod that simply refuses to die. That’s exactly what Cheyron’s Nazi Zombies is—a hybrid throwback to Call of Duty’s earliest undead horde mode that’s 10 years in the making and set within Grand Theft Auto 4. I hardly need an excuse to return to GTA 4’s faux slant…
