If you’re reading this on a PC running Windows, it’s almost certainly a 64-bit version of the operating system. It also supports 32-bit applications, which is why so many old games will run on it, but the developers of Linux-based Fedora have proposed a change to fully remove 32-bit support, and the decision appears to…
The word ‘pretty’ isn’t one that comes up too often in PC Gamer. The games themselves are often full of monsters designed to be as unappealing as possible, while the lumpen protagonists are seldom any better. Games like Infinity Nikki and the cosy games movement are making inroads into prettiness, but that’s never going to…
“Inzoi is a good-looking game with a lack of anything meaningful to do” is a sentiment I’ve shared often. And hey, now I have some numbers to back me up. Developer Krafton recently held a livestream for a handful of its content creators—headed up by director Hyungjun ‘Kjun’ Kim—divulging some statistics like most-requested features and…
Last night in a showcase livestream, Capcom provided details about the next Monster Hunter Wilds title update, arriving next week. The update features reprise appearances from fan-favorite monsters, new cosmetic additions, balance updates, and purported performance improvements that could make or break Wilds’ ability to win back player sentiment that’s recently taken a sharp downturn….
It’s a well-known fact at this point that Final Fantasy 14 is Square Enix’s breadwinner. It’s regularly cited as the company’s biggest source of income, but I’ve been getting the feeling that the golden goose is about to go on life support: There’s been a noticeable growing weariness during latest expansion Dawntrail, seeing subscription numbers…
Sloclap has come to players, hat in hand, a grim expression on its face, and stated that—despite trying as hard as it could—it could not keep dolphin-flopping or levitating football players in its game. Alright, maybe I’m being overdramatic here—but I do find it funny that in the latest hotfix for Rematch, the studio’s gone…
Tragic news: despite steering Electronic Arts as CEO since 2013, Andrew Wilson hasn’t had a pay rise in the last three years. He’s scraping by on the same $1.3 million annual salary he’s had since fiscal year (FY) 2023 (when it was bumped up from the $1.29 million he earned as salary in FY2022). Times…
Anyone who is interested in realistic real-time graphics, be it in games or animation, will know that dense vegetation can be very costly on GPU resources. They either eat up lots of VRAM or shader time, or both. A team of university researchers and AMD staff have come up with a solution, though, that procedurally…
Remedy’s latest multiplayer shooter has… uh, not done particularly well for itself, if the Steam numbers are anything to go by. At the time of writing, the game has a 24-hour peak player count of 169 (no, I did not miss a digit) and a ‘mixed’ rating on Steam. Critically speaking, we gave it 60%…
We see the word Ultra fairly frequently on this website, often tied to graphics cards or other exciting pieces of PC hardware and used to denote improved performance. Here, it’s attached to something as prosaic as a USB SSD, and represents a reduction in something: size. The Ultra Compact is small. There are standard USB…
