According to former PlayStation boss Shuhei Yoshida, turn-based RPGs, particularly JRPGs, were so unpopular several years ago that he would tell indie developers to avoid using the term altogether in their marketing—even for a game like Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. Yoshida recalled giving the Clair Obscur developers this advice during a lecture at the Busan…
Chromite isn’t actually rare in Palworld, but you’ve got to have a specific tool (or pal) to mine it, which is different from most other resources. To save you from the guesswork, I’ll show you how to use a metal detector to get Chromite initially and also a passive farming solution for bigger hauls so…
A seemingly genuine gameplay clip of Grand Theft Auto 6 is making the round online. The minute-long clip, originally posted by a leaker group named “Cyberleek”, is already being reposted in multiple places, but we first noticed it via gaming forum ResetEra. As of writing, the clip already has more than 100,000 views. In the…
Crunch the incessant offness of Twin Peaks into a surprisingly beefy collection of point-and-click puzzle adventures and you’ve got Rusty Lake: Twisted tales of familial obligation and tradition unfolding in a backcountry idyll possessed by something better left unseen and unspoken. Imagine if ol’ Eddie Allen P. had been born a couple centuries later and…
Epic Mickey man Warren Spector—also known for other games you may have heard of, like Ultima Underworld, System Shock, and Deus Ex—recently took to LinkedIn to share some thoughts about Disney’s upcoming Oswald the Lucky Rabbit miniseries, which was showcased by Jon Favreau at the recent D23 event. Spector said he’s “seriously looking forward to…
Grand Theft Auto 6 will, I’m assured, be the most immersive videogame of all time. You simply won’t be able to discern reality from fiction anymore. Your gaze will drift from your television, to outside, to the television, to outside, and the sheer fidelity of Rockstar’s opus will be such that you can no longer…
Framework has just announced a new version of its Framework 12 laptop that apparently gets a bunch more battery life. That’s despite it keeping the same 50 Wh battery and thanks to Intel’s Wildcat Lake processors. The Framework 12 is the company’s two-in-one (touch-and-type), low-power, entry-level offering, mainly used for study and light work. Previously…
In news only nerds like me will care about (which is pretty much my raison d’être at this point), the world record for the highest 3DMark Port Royal score has been smashed. Shattered. Thrown into the mud. Soundly beaten. Okay, so it’s not by a huge amount over the previous record. But the new top…
PC gaming has a problem: high prices for a key component, due to an unforeseen surge of interest. We’re in the thick of it, with no light at the end of the tunnel just yet, as supply will take a very long time to catch up to the outsized demand. Wait, haven’t we been here…
I love a good Arc Raiders map condition. Whether it be hunting for rubber ducks in Bird City, or trying to survive frozen temperatures in Cold Snap, each one offers up a much-needed revamp on what can sometimes be a stale selection of maps. The only problem is that some conditions can be pretty inaccessible….
