There’s an epidemic of ugliness in multiplayer shooters. Its cause goes by many names—the skin, bundle, drop, outfit, coating, or its most generic moniker, the cosmetic. Unassuming at its onset and quiet by nature, Cosmetic Uglification is a viral affliction infecting the best shooters of our time. When left unchecked, all semblance of aesthetic cohesion…

Last we heard something really concrete on the next Witcher game, it was in pre-production—that was what CD Projekt Red said about The Witcher 4, codename Polaris, back in early 2022. That’s definitely not the case anymore judging by CD Projekt’s latest earnings report, which shows that around half the studio’s developers are now working…

With less than two months before the expected announcement of the RTX 40-series Super models, it’s being reported that Nvidia is putting a halt to the RTX 4080 and RTX 4070 Ti lines. The idea is, of course, that these will be superseded by the 4080 Super and the delightfully named 4070 Ti Super. As…
It’s all too easy to forget that Nvidia’s AI-accelerating uber-GPUs started off as little more than an experimental offshoot from graphics chips for gaming PCs.
