Last month, Google introduced the Android XR platform in partnership with Samsung and Qualcomm, which is “a new operating system built for this next generation of computing”. Now, Google has bought part of HTC Vive’s engineering team, HTC Vive of course having ample experience engineering VR headsets. Google says this handover of engineers is “subject…
OK Ubisoft, I’m excited for Assassin’s Creed Shadows. I honestly did not see that coming. When Shadows was announced three years ago as “Codename Red,” I was prepared to give it a big ol’ shrug. Back then it was billed as the next “RPG” Assassin’s Creed in the vein of Odyssey or Valhalla, which sounded…
Dishonored 2—one of the best immersive sims ever made—did not sell as well as a game of its pedigree or impressiveness really deserved. And if it wasn’t for the reputation of the series, which offered it a “seal-of-quality protection”, and Arkane’s history of arguably making Bethesda’s “most refined games”, the studio might not be around…
Capcom has pulled off a hell of a feat with Street Fighter 6. First, it made an incredible fighting game that’s both proudly trying new things and reverently faithful to its history. And now it’s taken two fighting game legends from its ’90s rival SNK and integrated them so lovingly, I’m tempted to say they’re…
Guilty Gear: Strive is a downright gorgeous game—gorgeous enough that it actually introduced me to the fighting game genre after a lifetime of abstinence. (I’m still a little sketchy on my dragon punches.) Its character intros and outros are lovingly animated in a 3D style that mimics 2D anime—which means it’s only fitting that Guilty…
Despite it being a move that’s ‘almost tank your only real live-service success of the year’ unpopular, Sony has region-locked another game a staggering 10 months after its initial release. Picked up by a ResetEra user, Horizon Forbidden West, as per SteamDB, is now unable to be purchased in a list of countries—a list that’s…
You could be forgiven for thinking that most gaming mice are much of a muchness. After all, other than the occasional dash of colour and the odd extra button, the design of many squeakers has become something of a homogenous thing—with some notable exceptions, of course. Yes, there’s the occasional porker with trick side panels…
Eyes and ears might be turned towards Nvidia’s impending RTX 50-series graphics cards right now, but don’t forget that AMD’s next-gen cards, the Radeon RX 9070 and RX 9070 XT, aren’t far off, either. At least not in the grand scheme of things, but they’re certainly further off than we originally expected. Now, AMD is…
There is an alternative 2025 where you get the Nvidia RTX 5090 of your dreams. That’s a timeline where Nvidia has busted Apple’s grip on TSMC’s most advanced process nodes, managed to negotiate an unprecedented deal on silicon production, and worked some magic to deliver the same sort of generational rendering performance increases we’ve become…
Calling all snipers—and any troops who think they’ve got a good shooting arm! Rebellion Developments will be hosting a competition for five lucky soldiers to win a copy of Sniper Elite: Resistance‘s standard edition, which’ll be parachuting into Steam at the end of the month, January 30 (though if you happen to pre-order the deluxe…
