I’m a little staggered that I hadn’t heard of Shape of Dreams before—while it has updated and promoted its demo for Next Fest, it’s actually had a “prologue” available for a while, which has essentially been a sort of open alpha test for its devs. Click on that link, and you’ll find that while its…
Ella Purnell has doubled up with videogame TV series in the last few years, starring in both Arcane as Jinx and Amazon’s Fallout show as Lucy MacLean. Obviously the main commonality between the two is that they both take inspiration from popular videogames—League of Legends and Fallout, but another smaller link is that Purnell has…
Beautifully realistic life sim Inzoi is nearly here and we’re learning more every week about features as its game director Hyungjun Kim shares plans with fans. In a recent interview from the newest issue of the PC Gamer magazine, Kim goes even deeper into one of its less realistic elements, the karma system, where things…
World of Warcraft, in case you haven’t been keeping tabs since the mass exoduses of Shadowlands, has been on a bit of a self improvement kick lately. It hasn’t all been roses, mind, but as an occasional dabbler, I’m feeling downright positive about the overall shift away from borrowed power systems and into things the…
The Nvidia RTX 50-series hasn’t really stolen our hearts so far at PC Gamer thanks largely to low stock-induced scalping and high prices. For my part, I’ve been keeping hopes tentatively raised for a cheaper AMD RX 9070 or 9070 XT, under the assumption that an RTX 5060 and 5060 Ti are well beyond the…
In a heartwarming (ish) exposition of solidarity with democratic expression, China tabled concerns earlier today that the Taiwanese government could be preparing to give away its chip industry as a “souvenir” to the USA and that Taiwanese citizens were thus concerned that chip foundry TSMC could become “United States Semiconductor Manufacturing Co”. According to Reuters,…
Drag me to Skell. We have a little under a month to go before Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition flies onto Switch on 20th March and Nintendo has today released a new overview trailer, giving us our best look yet at the upcoming remaster. Fittingly titled ‘Everything you need to know about Xenoblade Chronicles X:…
You can now download ROMs direct to your XX device. If you’ve owned a device made by Anbernic, PowKiddy or Miyoo then you’ll know the drill by now—these emulation handhelds usually come with a cheap MicroSD card packed with poorly-curated ROMs, usually supplied by the store you purchased the device from. Given that emulation is…
It’s been almost a month since Deadlock‘s last notable update, with Valve recently reducing the frequency of changes to its third-person MOBA to ‘improve’ its design process. That adjustment has resulted in a much more substantial update this month, however, with Valve completely overhauling Deadlock’s map. In a Steam post, Valve described these extensive layout…
Here it is, Hot off the Press, to use a phrase that no one uses any more lol. As I promised in my earlier post about the reveal of the new pinball machine Ramp’s Road Trip, I now have exclusive gameplay video for everyone. Paul Fusco, a friend of the game’s designer was kind enough…
