Last year saw one of the biggest re-branding exercises in our industry’s history as EA, which over decades had built the FIFA series into a juggernaut that saw off all competition, ended its relationship with football’s world governing body. FIFA 23 (released in 2022) was the last in that series and 2023 saw the release…
Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League has dropped into a brief 72-hour early access period for Deluxe Edition owners—or at least that was the plan. A bug that accidentally credited players with full, top-to-bottom completion as soon as they launched the game forced Rocksteady to pull its servers down for around six hours, alongside another…
Asus latest big boi GPU is the TUF Gaming RTX 4080 Super, a reference priced, modestly overclocked card from the classic Nvidia board partner. That makes it a $999 GPU, $200 less than the original RTX 4080, but with essentially the same performance. Job done. And if you can’t get your hands on an Nvidia…
I’ve always got my eyes peeled for interesting upcoming city builders, and the more ambitious the better. But sometimes a game comes along that feels maybe… a little too ambitious? I’m talking about The Bustling World, a game set in ancient China that wants to be a whole lot of different kinds of game all…
After last year’s brief snippets of vampiric shenanigans, Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 developer The Chinese Room is giving us a longer peek at Seattle’s nightlife in a dev walkthrough with creative director Alex Skidmore and community manager Joshua Matthews. It’s significantly more illuminating than the faction reveals, showing off a mission where Phyre,…
The Witcher 1 is rough, gangly, utterly idiosyncratic, and fine as it is, if you ask me. Nevertheless, it’s due an open-world remake courtesy of the devs over at Fool’s Theory, and it sounds like they aren’t squeamish about updating some of the, ah, more awkward parts of CDPR’s original 2007 classic. In a chat…
In case that headline gave you mental whiplash—yes, Baldur’s Gate 3 has a sex-based speedrun. Players have competed to see how quickly one can wet their five copper signal whistle since the game launched. Unfortunately, Patch 4 put an end to all that by changing Lae’zel (the object of your hasty affection) by requiring you…
Nintendo is a legendarily litigious company—with mods and emulation often falling under the gaze of its burning, all-seeing eye. Nexus Mods has even enacted a unilateral ban on Pokémon conversion mods for Palworld, citing Nintendo’s record of “mercilessly submitting legal challenges.” As is the case with YouTuber Toasted Shoes, who received a DMCA notice after…
Massive customer data loss is never nice. So, imagine the sinking feeling at multinational car rental outfit Europcar when fully 50 million customer records including everything from passwords and passport numbers to payment details, driver licence numbers, home addresses and emails were offered for sale on a hacker forum. So, that’s pretty much everything a…
Super January is drawing to a close and the Nvidia RTX 4080 Super is the last of the green team’s Super cards to launch—for now anyway. Though it’s easily the fastest of the three, it’s arguably the least exciting, even if it’s hard to complain about a card that’s faster than its non-Super counterpart, while…
