Everyone knows where to go to find lemons, apricots, and olives in Arc Raiders by now. That would be Blue Gate’s Olive Grove. But what about Agave? Like Prickly Pears, this plant feels much harder to pinpoint and find consistently. That’s annoying because you need eight of these prickly plants to donate to the new…
I’ve watched all the Resident Evil movies, but even worse, I kind of like them. I don’t think they’re particularly good movies, or even good ambassadors of the games, but they’re a fun watch, especially if you want to have a laugh with friends. I’d resigned myself to the fact that this is all Resident…
There are many different facets to the collection of technologies that come under the banner of ‘AI’, and many of them have become almost a constant presence in our lives whether we like it or not. Even if we’re not card carrying members of the ChatGPT Pro clique, there is a pervasiveness to it all…
There are a number of reasons to pick up a wired gaming headset over something wireless. Price is definitely a factor, but add to that greatly reduced latency, plus the obvious fact you’ll never have to worry about keeping your kit charged. Unfortunately, every time I test a wired headset, the castors of almost every…
Fancy the full PS5 controller experience on PC? Right now, it’s not possible wirelessly. That’s because you lose the Sony DualSense’s full haptic functionality over Bluetooth on the PC. Or at least you did until this homebrew solution turned up based on a Raspberry Pi Pico 2W acting as a dongle. Spotted on Reddit, this…
Ustwo Games CEO Maria Sayans recently came under quite a bit of heat for an interview with Game Developer at London Games Fest, people caught onto the following: “We’ve been a little bit too romantic about the idea that we should have employees and give people long-term job security,” when discussing Ustwo’s strategy—specifically how the…
There are two very different worlds out there. One is the world that you and I live in, the world of the consumer, where we scrape together whatever scraps of expensive memory we can find after the rest has been handed off to AI datacentres. The other is the world of chipmakers and shareholders, where…
Two weeks ago, a “glitch” caused one of developer inExile Entertainment’s games to temporarily be completely free on the Xbox/Microsoft Store. That’s a pretty big mistake to make when you’re a business. That game was Wasteland Remastered, a classic RPG reborn back in 2020. But this debacle was even more troublesome because the version players…
Subnautica 2 will launch into early access on May 14, a new trailer confirms. If you’re surprised I don’t blame you: the sequel has been subject to endless controversy, with studio Unknown Worlds and publisher Krafton at loggerheads about when and how it should be released. It’s a long story at this stage, but the…
Getting ambushed by a reaper leviathan in Subnautica has, by now, become a canonical PC gaming experience. It’s distilled oceanic horror, confirming all the player’s thalassophobic anxieties in a singular moment of aquatic violence—and in an interview with PC Gamer, Subnautica 2 game design lead Anthony Gallegos said it had only become bearable after years…
