Now, I know you may be feeling a little glum at the announcement of the new Steam Deck OLED. You know your little ol’ LCD Steam Deck can still play the same games at the same speeds as the shiny new Valve thing, but it’s taken a little shine off your handheld PC, right? Well,…
It’s been more than three years since the announcement of Braid: Anniversary Edition, a “hand-painted” remake of the famed indie hit. At the time, it was supposed to arrive in 2021, and that was a pretty big miss—but now, two years later, we’ve got a new release date of April 30, 2024. Three years is…
The new Steam Deck OLED is here, but while the sparkling screen is the eponymous feature, there’s a whole lot else going on under the hood. Valve has made sure the chassis is identical to the original LCD version, which means all your translucent covers will still be compatible, but things are very different inside….
And just like that, a new Steam Deck is here. We’ve been expecting a refresh of Valve’s handheld gaming PC for a little while now, and it’s touting this Steam Deck OLED as “the definitive first generation Steam Deck, it’s the one that we would have shipped if we could have.” The new Steam Deck…
If the Steam Deck was a beta, the Steam Deck OLED is its finished form. It’s not a sequel, it’s not a beefed up “pro” version, and it’s not a major redesign. I can’t even tell the difference between the old model and the new model when I sit them next to each other—save for…
Warner Bros. CEO David Zaslav has set out the company’s plans for the future, and, surprise surprise, there’s yet more live service stuff on the horizon. The company’s latest ambitions were revealed in an earnings call yesterday (thanks, Eurogamer). Zaslav states: “We recognize that we can do a better job of managing and maximizing the…
It’s the most wonderful time of the year: the time when the games industry puts on its best evening wear and Troy Baker takes the stage to tell us which videogames are set to win after millions of public votes have been totted up. It is, in other words, time for the Golden Joysticks, which…
The lack of support for Nvidia’s DLSS in Starfield when the game first launched was a bit of a touchy subject. However, it didn’t take long for modders to add it into the game and Bethesda to hint at official support not long after. Well, that time has come, and a beta branch of Starfield…
I’m pretty excited about Remnant 2’s first DLC, The Awakened King. Aside from adding a whole new area to one of my favourite games of 2023—a much-appreciated upgrade, since it’s built to be played multiple times—it’ll also add a new archetype, build-altering jewellery, and even more guns for me to tinker with. What’s more, if…
I was already riled up enough when yesterday I wrote about my frustrations with BioWare’s endless cryptic teasing of its upcoming games, so it’s probably a good thing for my blood pressure that it wasn’t until today that I realised the studio is monetising them too. For the pretty steep price of $45 / £37.25…
