Rocksteady has dropped the final PC system requirements for the soon-to-be-live Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, and on the whole they’re pretty light—although if you still haven’t upgraded to an SSD, now might be the time. The SSD requirement even at the minimum spec isn’t as surprising as it used to be—they’re pretty ubiquitous…
We’re barely two weeks into 2024 but the latest rumours surrounding the next generation of GPUs are already in full swing. And the claim this time is that Intel’s next graphics architecture, Battlemage, won’t be competing against the likes of the RX 7900-series or RTX 4080, but may instead focus on mainstream sales. As that’s…
“Kenta Cho?” I take a slow puff on my pipe as I stare into the distance. “Now there’s a name I haven’t heard in a long time…” Way back when I was obsessed with 2D schmups, I’d tell anyone with ears to check out Kenta Cho’s amazing games: often small, often built around a single…
Is throwing someone in at the deep end the best way to teach them to swim? Probably not, but it is the most fun. At least, for the observers. That’s what 1000xResist does, opening in medias res and trusting you’ll figure out how to float. It begins with one of the story’s most dramatic scenes…
Fortnite added Peter Griffin from Family Guy recently, and if you can push past the existential dread that sentence may give you, it’s a no-brainer. Once a PvE co-op builder, Fortnite’s Battle Royale game mode has long outgrown its humble roots and become an ‘Oops! All Franchises’ monolith. But somehow, Seth MacFarlane had never heard…
CES is all wrapped up, and while AI fatigue has hit our hardware writers (as the term ‘AI’ has slipped into the realm of buzzword purgatory) I’m about to make things a hell of a lot worse for everybody. As spotted by TheVerge, there’s now an AI-powered sex toy that aims to treat people with…
Like it or not, we’re very much in the world of generative AI now. Massively complex neural networks trained on vast quantities of data, all so we can use it to make pictures of donkeys riding space rockets or tell us which churro coating is the best. I jest, of course, because large language models…
Earlier this year PCG reported on a crypto rug-pull with a new twist: The CEO of the firm involved didn’t appear to exist. The news came in the wake of a Guardian Australia investigation into Hyperverse, a crypto scheme that collapsed with an estimated $1.3 billion in losses, and during its time was fronted by…
You might think that Hewlett-Packard’s most important profit generator might be AI servers or cheap laptops, but you’d be wrong. Over half of HP’s annual profits last year were entirely down to its print division, with no small thanks to its Dynamic Security printer firmware upgrade that completely blocked all third-party ink cartridges. Cue yet…
In the latest wave of anti-ad blocker measures implemented by YouTube, AdBlock users have been reporting widespread performance issues with the extension enabled. In a thread posted to the YouTube subreddit over the weekend (thanks, 9to5Google) users noted that having AdBlock enabled caused slow load times and increased CPU usage, as one user writes: “This…
