Resident Evil Requiem offered up two protagonists, two ways of playing its horror game, and two perspectives, with the choice to switch between first and third person at any point throughout the game players could finally decide just how scary they wanted to make things. If I’m honest, I reluctantly did my first playthrough as…

Patch 7.5 for Final Fantasy 14 landed today, and with it a strange appearance in the inventories for some players: an adorable otter backpack that reminds me of those weird Loungefly bags that seem to permeate every pop culture store in the UK. It wasn’t mentioned in the patch notes, and stuff randomly appearing without…

Much of the die space of modern GPUs is given over to functionality that’s not part of the traditional rendering pipeline. Sometimes, that feels like a bit of a waste. Which is why Microsoft’s new Shader Model 6.10 preview, announced yesterday, could be mostly good news. It’s making matrix math part of the official DirectX…

In the last few years, I’ve found myself asking ‘What are webcams for?’ The obvious answer is meetings and online social gatherings, but I wonder how many use their ever-expanding feature set for anything more. Yololiv shoves DSLR-quality 4K capture into its relatively small YoloCam S3, and I’m more torn on it than I thought…

Riven Tides is Arc Raiders‘ biggest update yet, and it brings yet another player project for you to work through. This time, it’s the Avian Alarm project, which sees you employing a bunch of birds to monitor seismic activity and atmospheric changes in Speranza.

This event runs from April 28 through May 25 (so almost an entire month), and you can earn some exclusive rewards for your hard work. If 250 Raider Tokens, a new outfit, and a backpack sound interesting to you, then you’ll…

Let me start off this article with a caveat: I am not a coding expert. I’m also not particularly good at maths. Which means some of the explanations in the video above fly over the top of my head at considerable speed. One thing I do understand, however, is that the code that makes up…

The cat is out of the bag: The new Steam Controller will be available to purchase for $99/€99/£85/$149 AUD from next week, and our verdict on the new hardware is already in (spoilers, we like it). The May launch will only introduce one, all-over black colourway to go with all your other noir hardware. Thankfully,…

Fallout co-creator Tim Cain, who is known for… well, co-creating Fallout, has been a font of videogame wisdom on his own personal YouTube channel for the past three years: That time is fast approaching its end, though, as Cain feels like he’s coming to the end of both the stories he wanted to share when…

Line in the Sand is a new quest in Arc Raiders‘ Riven Tides update, though it’s got nothing to do with the new seaside paradise. This actually continues the story of Stella Montis and Buried City, where Exodus materials were being transported. You’ll need to find four locations across Buried City to complete Line in…
