Dune: Awakening is a hit, but it’s not without flaws. PvP in the deep desert is a particular issue for an awful lot of players, based on Reddit complaints, and you better believe that questions about Funcom’s plans for it came up during an AMA held today on Reddit. There’s little in the way of…
For a chap atop one of the most high profile tech organisations on the planet, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman’s propensity, shall we say, to expatiate but not excogitate, is, well, remarkable. Sometimes, he really doesn’t seem to think before he speaks. The latest example involves his status as a “new parent,” something which he apparently…
Kojima Productions and Line Mileage have announced (yet another) Death Stranding movie is in the works (thanks, GIBiz). Line Mileage is an animation studio and will be creating a film set in the Death Stranding universe, which is not going to be an adaptation of the first game but an original story bouncing off some…
On paper, relics are one of the more interesting mechanics in Elden Ring Nightreign, providing a collection of passive modifiers to choose from that expands with every run you complete, successfully or otherwise. In practice, however, most of the randomized relics you earn at the end of an expedition are only fit for the wastebin….
The rising cost of videogames is a common concern among those who play them—witness, for instance, the upset over the prospect of an $80 Borderlands 4. But what if you think games don’t cost enough? What if you, the concerned consumer, want to pay more? You can now do just that on GOG, which has…
The Turtle Beach Stealth 600 (Gen 3) has come a long way since its first generation, in terms of aesthetics, sound quality, and battery life. The internal tech has improved tenfold, with the design has been steered away from that gamer-style look in favor of a sleeker, more reserved appearance and a matte colourway. But…
The rise of the mechanical keyboard for gaming was a real turning point for the tippy tappy PC-connected peripheral. Suddenly typing feel and response was a big thingTM in gaming keyboards. Then the enthusiast gaming crew came in, deepening the rabbit hole for nerds like me to get lost in, and then the marketers and…
Valve is currently in the middle of a big push towards improving both Steam’s accessibility features, and those of the games it hosts. In April it announced the Steam store would start highlighting accessibility features on store pages then, once this feature dropped, allowed users to start searching for games by individual accessibility features. Now,…
Noctua seems to be on a bit of a roll this year, chucking its fans into other companies’ products left, right, and centre. And now it looks like the maker of the world’s best and brownest fans is throwing some at Japanese system builder Sycom for use in some Silent Master RTX 50-series graphics cards….
As a tech journalist, I’m far from heartened by the AI feeding frenzy we’re seeing. Besides the Trump administration rolling back Biden-era guardrails and handing OpenAI a frankly eye-watering amount of money via various contracts, the UK government attempted five times to pass a bill (which has since passed) that allows AI developers to largely…
