Battlefield 6 is finally here, and I think it’s fair to say that expectations are high regarding its performance. The developers have made much noise about prioritising optimisation over best-in-class graphics, including eschewing ray traced lighting for a traditional baked-in approach, and the minimum specs list the dusty-old RTX 2060 and RX 5600 XT as…
With Sony’s PlayStation 6 now only a few years away (according to Sony), we have just received a whole new batch of information on the tech AMD is working on, and it makes me excited for what it will do for PC gamers. Shared to the official PlayStation YouTube account, AMD’s senior vice president and…
‘Ratchet & Clank: Clone Home’ is now available online. After 19 years, those who love Insomniac’s Ratchet & Clank are finally able to play a “lost”, cancelled entry in the series, which has previously been described online as “a holy grail for 14 people”, as recently spotted by the folks at Gamesradar. Back in 2006,…
The Genshin Impact 6.1 codes have arrived, and alongside them, a sneak peek at what’s awaiting in the next instalment of Nod-Krai’s new story. Version 6.1 isn’t *technically* 6.1 at all; it’s actually Luna 2, the second chapter of the Traveler’s journey in Nod-Krai. This autonomous region is in Snezhnaya (the next major region), but…
School is in session. In all the world, few things are as powerful as language. We use it to communicate all our hopes and fears and inner thoughts to each other. Words have a power all their own, which is why Shujinkou struck me as such an interesting concept; a JRPG that aims to teach…
After 10 long years of Pico Park using colourful little guys to rip apart friendship groups, the developer TecoPark has accidentally turned off monetisation on the classic edition, making it permanently free-to-play. “I was planning to switch to a paid plan after updating the online support, but I forgot that once you switch from paid…
With EA now on the hook for $20 billion in the wake of its Saudi-and-Kushner-funded buyout, both the company and its new owners have been pretty obvious about their ambitions for AI-driven development to, somehow, miraculously help it start printing money quickly. Which is concerning. Also concerning: One of EA’s biggest releases this year hits…
Well that’s… unexpected. Yes, you read that headline correctly, rather than pushing the prices up to match what we’ve seen everywhere else in the industry of late, select EU retailers appear to be cutting the cost of Switch 2 consoles and bundles (thanks for the heads up, My Nintendo News). Amazon France was the first…
As a “Rocktober” treat. Double Fine has released a previously unseen pitch video of its heavy metal-inspired action-adventure, real-time strategy game Brütal Legend, to celebrate “Rocktober” — the time of the year when Tim Schafer gets together with fans to matchmake against one another in multiplayer to mark the game getting one year older. The…
Playing through all of the campaign missions in Battlefield 6 isn’t something you’re likely to do more than once. Many might have seen this game as a CoD killer, but sadly, its campaign is really not that special and basically amounts to a very average AAA FPS campaign, i.e. the kind of thing you play…
