When Doom: The Dark Ages launched back in May, developers id Software promised that it would add an extra graphics option in a later patch, specifically path tracing. The stompy-stompy shooter uses ‘normal’ ray tracing for all lighting, shadows, and reflections by default, and now that I’ve had a few days to explore the new…
It’s been about half a year since NetEase gave Storm a massive touch-up in Marvel Rivals. A somewhat temporary fix to players not touching the X-Men hero in Season 0, when Season 1 came around the devs simply made her too strong to resist. As part of these changes, Storm’s damage capability was increased, alongside…
Sleeper builds will have a place in my home at some point, I swear it (if I keep saying it, it’ll happen, right?). There’s just something about the combined retro nostalgia of a knackered ’90s PC combined with actual modern-day gaming chops. For all who feel the same, get a load of TME Retro’s resuscitated…
So, Microsoft has announced it’s teaming up with—or maybe that should be sticking with—AMD for its next generation of Xbox hardware. But what does that actually mean for conventional Xbox consoles and the new trend of handhelds? Perhaps the key line from Xbox President Sarah Bond in the YouTube video announcement goes thus: “We’ve established…
For quite some time now I have been hearing rumors; scattershot whispers, in hushed tones. The Digimon Story games, they’ve been saying, are good. Subtitles like Cyber Sleuth would crop up in lists and recommendations from good friends, but I would always brush them off a bit. It’s Digimon—surely nostalgia was the driving force of…
Reader, I hoped I’d never have to write these words. I hoped you’d never have to read them. But it falls to me to report that, in a clear violation of mankind’s covenant with god, Limited Run Games’ remastered Gex Trilogy has apparently attained “huge success.” I kid. Well, kind of. The Gex games were…
Has this happened to you? You’ve just finished a kickass Elden Ring Nightreign run. You and your buds—or two strangers—were in top form. Barely any deaths, seven flasks in your pocket, level 15 next to your health bar, and weapons that type against the Nightlord‘s specific weakness. You do the customary L1 spam as the…
There are no big surprises here: Borderlands 4 is more Borderlands. But if you’re all extraction-shootered-out and a regular old co-op campaign is what you’re looking for (I can sympathize), then I think you’ve got something to look forward to. Specifically: a big world, some fun new movement abilities, a cool hover bike, and fewer…
Microsoft has just dropped a video showcasing their plans for future Xbox hardware based on AMD technology. The main takeaways? First, Xbox will become a “portfolio” of devices including traditional console, PC and handhelds. Second, backwards compatibility with existing Xbox games is central to the new strategy. Xbox President Sarah Bond has fronted a new…
Endgame Gear is emerging as a bit of a dark horse in the world of gaming peripherals, with options that fly under the radar against the Razers, SteelSeries and others in this world, while offering some astounding value for money. Take the KB65HE keyboard, for instance—it punched above its price point with snappy and responsive…
