Arc Raiders once had jump pads and the Snap Hook made you ‘like Spider-Man’ before its extraction shooter pivot: ‘It was much more heroic’
Arc Raiders used to be a much faster game during development—quite literally, as Embark reduced the speed of everything by roughly 60% after it shifted the game towards a PvPvE extraction shooter. It’s something you can see pretty clearly in the game’s original reveal trailer, where players were leaping around every which way and running…

‘We want that the real-time images look indistinguishable from reality. We want them to look like a film.’ Nvidia has lofty goals for path-traced graphics, but its support for Microsoft’s shader stutter cure is a lot more interesting to me
At this year’s GDC event in San Francisco, Nvidia took to the stage to tell game developers something that they, and anyone for that matter, already knew: future games will only have film-level graphics by ‘fully leaning into AI to cross that chasm between what’s attainable [now] and what’s attainable in film rendering.’ Those were…
“You’re Doing Nothing With It” – Crash Bandicoot’s Co-Designer Asks “Where’s the Movie? Where’s The TV Series?”
A Netflix show was rumoured last year, but so far remains unconfirmed. It’s somewhat hard to believe, given the character’s popularity over the years, but Crash Bandicoot has somehow never had a starring role in his own TV show or animated film. To our knowledge, there has been at least one attempt to turn Crash…

Arc Raiders’ devs didn’t expect such a passionate PvE-only crowd
The Arc Raiders developers have said in the past that during development playtests that preceded launch, raiders were behaving much more violently toward one another than how we’ve seen in the community post-launch. It’s something that Embark production director Caio Braga mentioned to us multiple times when we spoke to him after his talk at…
I’m celebrating Spring by helping a little frog wake up from hibernation in the cosy puzzle game Walk the Frog
Oh to be a little frog waking up from a long sleep over the cold dark winter. Climbing out of your burrow to be met with the fresh sun of Spring and vibrant scent of flowers popping up from the softening earth. It’s what dreams are made of, at least it’s what mine are made…

Here’s 8 minutes in nostalgic benchmark heaven, with me running 3DMark2001 on an RTX 5090 to celebrate its 25th birthday
The 3DMark benchmark has been synonymous with PC gaming hardware for the longest time, almost ever since Remedy lent its MAX-FX engine to the very first iteration, 3DMark99, way back in 1998. But it was DirectX8 and the use of programmable shaders in its 2001 benchmark that enabled it to really showcase what PC graphics…
