And it’s already announced its first project. Harbour Masters 64, the group of creators renowned for their incredible PC ports of Nintendo 64 games, has announced it is upgrading the technology it uses to work with Nintendo GameCube games, as spotted by SteamDeckHQ. This means we could eventually see more Nintendo GameCube-to-PC ports in the…
Baldur’s Gate 2, and likely the original Baldur’s Gate, are getting remakes, we recently learned. Wizards of the Coast has even brought BG2’s co-lead designer back. It’s exciting news, but we still have no idea what shape these remakes will take, or how liberal the team is being when it comes to changing things. Well,…
This may be hard for my colleagues and friends to believe, but I actually regularly use my Stream Deck. A little box with reprogrammable buttons that sits alongside your keyboard and mouse, I’ve found it a handy way of getting to certain tabs, to start and stop recording, and for generally being a bit more…
Fallout 76’s next update launches today, alongside the new season, Appalachia Under Siege. With it comes a new hostile encounter that sees different factions or forces claim up to “40 unique locations” only to be driven out by you, the player. Instead of introducing a massive map expansion, new events, and NPCs like we saw…
Valve is a relatively small company that punches well above its weight. Perhaps it’s the low staff numbers—or maybe just a general libertarian lilt—that makes its approach to content moderation on Steam a hearty “Can’t someone else do it?” Its freewheeling approach has drawn criticism for what it allows to proliferate and, of course, has…
iOS and Android app gets a host of other improvements, too. Epilogue’s Retrace app allows you to check the authenticity of your Game Boy cartridges when used in conjunction with the GB Operator, and it has now been updated to support the company’s new SN Operator device. “Retrace works with SN Operator now,” says the…
Asus might be sticking 24 carat gold into its mice to celebrate its 20th anniversary and Gigabyte is slapping satellite-grade metals onto its motherboards for its own anniversary, but it’s a diamond anniversary for MSI as it’s jamming smooshed up diamonds into its next-gen GPU cooling solutions. The next-gen graphics card cooler MSI had on-show…
Intel plans to build a semiconductor substrate manufacturing facility in India. The company is partnering with 3D Glass Solutions, Inc. (3DGS) to construct a facility in the eastern state of Odisha. The facility will take about six years to build and will cost $3.3 billion in joint investments from the two companies. Once built, the…
Subnautica 2 got into a bit of hot water (get it?) recently over some Discord comments that bluntly stated it wasn’t a “killing game”. Now, I didn’t exactly buy into the critique of the game centered around that—I think it’s perfectly fine for videogames to be about different things—but I do appreciate that being hounded…
“It was impossible for Tecmo to release hardware”. Nearly two years before the release of the Nintendo Game Boy in 1989, the Ninja Gaiden and Klonoa: Door to Phantomile director Hideo Yoshizawa came up with his own pitch for what the future of handheld gaming might look like, and it’s pretty remarkable how closely it…
