Call of Duty spawns are always a little wonky on launch day, but they’re rarely as entertaining as this Modern Warfare 3 bug. Some console folk hopping into multiplayer early (presumably employing the good ol’ New Zealand region switch trick) are getting swept up in a nonstop bullet barrage as the map Quarry will sometimes…
Two of the biggest bits of videogame news to come along this week were Nintendo’s announcement of a live-action Zelda movie, and Rockstar’s promise of a proper Grand Theft Auto 6 reveal in December. That might naturally lead your wandering thoughts to wonder when Take-Two Interactive will get around to making the Grand Theft Auto-based…
If you have anything like my tinkering soul, the first thing to occur to you the instant you heard Valve was making a Steam Deck OLED was about whether you’d be able to buy the screen from iFixit—in the same way you can buy the top LCD Steam Deck panel right now—and drop it into…
The use of generative AI in the development of games has been hitting the headlines for some time now, but typically in the context of AI tools being used to assist with game development. One person has now made an entire game solely through the use of ChatGPT, DALL-E, and Midjourney. Spotted over at Hot…
Now, I know you may be feeling a little glum at the announcement of the new Steam Deck OLED. You know your little ol’ LCD Steam Deck can still play the same games at the same speeds as the shiny new Valve thing, but it’s taken a little shine off your handheld PC, right? Well,…
It’s been more than three years since the announcement of Braid: Anniversary Edition, a “hand-painted” remake of the famed indie hit. At the time, it was supposed to arrive in 2021, and that was a pretty big miss—but now, two years later, we’ve got a new release date of April 30, 2024. Three years is…
The new Steam Deck OLED is here, but while the sparkling screen is the eponymous feature, there’s a whole lot else going on under the hood. Valve has made sure the chassis is identical to the original LCD version, which means all your translucent covers will still be compatible, but things are very different inside….
And just like that, a new Steam Deck is here. We’ve been expecting a refresh of Valve’s handheld gaming PC for a little while now, and it’s touting this Steam Deck OLED as “the definitive first generation Steam Deck, it’s the one that we would have shipped if we could have.” The new Steam Deck…
If the Steam Deck was a beta, the Steam Deck OLED is its finished form. It’s not a sequel, it’s not a beefed up “pro” version, and it’s not a major redesign. I can’t even tell the difference between the old model and the new model when I sit them next to each other—save for…
Warner Bros. CEO David Zaslav has set out the company’s plans for the future, and, surprise surprise, there’s yet more live service stuff on the horizon. The company’s latest ambitions were revealed in an earnings call yesterday (thanks, Eurogamer). Zaslav states: “We recognize that we can do a better job of managing and maximizing the…
