It would be foolish to say that this is the final, incontrovertible proof that AI hype has gone too far. After all, just a week ago Microsoft’s head of AI was clearly getting high on his own supply when he said that he just didn’t get why folks don’t like the idea of turning Windows…
I love Fallout: New Vegas but you know what I don’t love? New Vegas itself. The strip and the casinos are a bit of a letdown. The streets are nearly empty. The casinos are dull. And the biggest crime of all: you can’t play poker. For the past 15 years, our choices of casino games…
Have you ever thought you wanted to experience the actual hardship your in-game characters have to go through on a daily basis? The blood, the sweat, the tears, and more sweat? No? Well, apparently someone has, because ShakeMistake on YouTube modded Red Dead Redemption 2 to be able to use his rowing machine as a…
The departure of Hideo Kojima from Konami saw the publisher react, initially at least, like a spurned lover. There was an ill-advised attempt to remove the creator’s name from certain packaging, followed-up by the even more ill-advised spinoff Metal Gear Survive, before things went quiet and, for years and years, Konami did nothing with the…
An unlucky former Rockstar animator has made themselves the new temporary focus of Grand Theft Auto fans, after posting a demo reel of their work on various company titles to Vimeo. The two-minute reel includes finished scenes from the likes of GTA5 and Red Dead Redemption 2, alongside various one-off animations with Pixar-style cartoon characters,…
Another day, another round of bad news regarding the ongoing RAM shortage and rising PC hardware prices. TrendForce reports that the NAND flash wafer supply is getting worse, which will directly impact SSD prices, and it already has. How long will it take for those price changes to trickle down to the consumer market? And…
Some Arc Raiders players have been desperately searching for a way to identify and punish evil players, to warn others that they aren’t to be trusted before any more blood is shed. Some dabbled with the idea of virtual sheriffs, while others took to naming and shaming on Reddit, but now they’ve taken to using…
PC Gamer Australian editor Shaun Prescott hates Styx, the diminutive goblin “asshole,” but he quite likes the Styx videogames, and so he was suitably pleased when Cyanide and Nacon announced earlier this year that a third game in the series, Styx: Blades of Greed, was set to arrive later in 2025. But now it’s December,…
The Splinter Cell remake Ubisoft announced in 2021 has a new director: His name is David Grivel, and if that rings a bell it might be because he was director on the project when it was first announced, but split—from the game and Ubisoft entirely—just under a year later. Grivel said when he left Ubisoft…
It feels like everyone I know’s gone batty for Dispatch, AdHoc’s superhero management sim that picks up Telltale’s choose-your-own-adventure torch and runs with it to, so I hear, great success. A particular triumph? Its episodic release structure, which even won over our Fraser Brown—noted episode-sceptic—quite quickly. Indeed, the game’s executive producer Michael Choung said the…
