It appears that, as first rumored in November, TimeSplitters studio Free Radical Design has been closed. The studio’s website has been scrubbed and now bears a simple message saying “404 Company not found :(,” while multiple employees have said that today was their last day. Free Radical was originally founded in 1999 by ex-Rare developers,…
Just four days after the ugly launch of not-quite-a-survival-MMO The Day Before on Steam, developer Fntastic says it is closing its doors because the game flopped. “The Day Before has failed financially, and we lack the funds to continue,” the studio said in a statement posted to Twitter. “All income received is being used to…
As a certified arachnophobe, it pains me how many games insist on including a creature that absolutely should not have that many legs. Thankfully, a handful of games have started to implement an arachnophobia mode over the years. You’ve got Grounded’s shiny round blobs, Kill it with Fire’s cartoonish balled-up arachnids and Webbed’s decision to…
As fans work themselves into a frenzy trying to wring every drop of information out of a 90 second trailer, and some of the media’s greatest GTA scholars deliver informed speculation and clever predictions, I can’t help but get caught up in the excitement of it all. Why should I be prevented from joining in,…
You can find Marble from the moment you set foot in your world in Lego Fortnite, but you need an upgraded pickaxe in order to mine it. This resource is used to make a Stone Breaker, which in turn can be used to make Marble Slabs among other things. Much like Knotroot, you need to…
The Upperway puzzle in Rogue Trader is definitely the hardest you encounter early in the game. At least the Eurac V lab puzzle provides somewhat clear instructions through text logs, and the First Galvanic Hymn can be riddled out if you search around enough. Here, however, you have to mess around with some warehouse generators…
Asus’ ROG Zephyrus CES 2024 teaser hid something exciting in plain sight, the hint that its new gaming laptops are going to ditch the old plastic chassis and switch to an all-new metal unibody design. And I am most definitely here for that change. The teaser trailer released last week suffered by being dropped at…
If I had a 2023 bingo card, I can guarantee that ‘the voice actor for Arthur Morgan got in a TikTok feud with the Florida Joker’ would not be on it. It feels like a sentence written by putting a bunch of names on a corkboard and throwing darts at it. For context: last week…
With the expected launch of Intel’s Meteor Lake architecture being just around the corner, benchmark scores are getting leaked left, right, and centre. A 3DMark Time Spy test for a Core 7 Ultra 155H puts it slightly faster than AMD’s Ryzen Z1 Extreme, which is used in lots of handheld gaming devices. Given that they…
It would be fair to say that PCIe Gen 5.0 SSDs have had a difficult start in life. While Gen 4 drives have become something of a standard in many high-end systems, Gen 5 drives have failed to take off in similar fashion, primarily because for most users the previous generation SSDs bring great real…
