Failed to get an AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT at launch for MSRP? Yeah, me too, join the club, we’ve got plenty of members right now. This graphics card launch wasn’t even the worst we’ve seen recently (cough, GeForce RTX 5070 Ti, cough), with a feeling at least that some actual GPUs could be bought…
You know you’ve worked in museums for too long when you get irrationally excited about staff-only doors. While this is a new feature introduced in Two Point Museum, I know that if it had been in Hospital and Campus, I wouldn’t have had the same unbridled jolt of glee. I didn’t think I could be…
It’s funny really; Nvidia’s getting a lot of stick right now (and rightly so) for its erroneous reporting and missing ROPs on some of the latest 50-series cards, but honestly, the biggest problem for me as a semi-pro system builder (that’s what I’m calling my career, shut-up), is the fact that there are no cards…
The second trailer of Netflix’s upcoming Devil May Cry animated series showed off more than just a sequence of flashy fight scenes and Dante doing acrobatics mid-fight. We also got to see a couple more characters that’ll appear in the show like Virgil and Lady, but one appearance that we didn’t see, only heard, was…
Yes, I know: more AI. Love it or hate it, that’s the way things are going. For us gamers, it started with upscaling, then frame gen, then Multi Frame Gen, and soon, it seems, fully AI-generated frames. At GDC today Nvidia announced that “neural shading support will come to DirectX preview in April, unlocking the…
Some dude with a mighty ‘tache once said, “there are lies, damned lies, and statistics.” The latter is what we’ve been presented with by Nvidia and its claims of doubling the sales of its RTX Blackwell cards over its previous generation cards in the same time frame certainly look good on paper, but absolutely deserve…
Half-Life 2 doesn’t need improving upon, but I have to admit after a day of playing around in Orbifold Studio’s visual remaster, I’m sold. Bashing boxes to smithereens as our good pal Gordon ‘glasses’ Freeman never looked so good. I’ve been running around the demo for Half-Life 2 RTX, an unofficial and modder-led remaster of…
The AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT is arguably the card to grab this generation (so far), assuming you can find it in stock. But AMD never released a reference ‘MBA’ (Made by AMD) design for purchase, so it’s been down to AIB manufacturers to dish over that RDNA 4 compute. In fact, we all assumed…
World of Warcraft’s getting its own player housing, which’ll be dropping either on—or just a little before—the release of its next expansion, Midnight. Blizzard’s been drip-feeding details over the past few months, mostly by subtly elbowing Final Fantasy 14 for the woes of its own system. The styling-on-Square Enix is proceeding apace. In a blog…
Many, many moons ago (read: 2019), Final Fantasy 14 director and producer Naoki Yoshida was asked at E3 (ha! Remember that?) if, with World of Warcraft Classic around the corner, he would ever consider doing something similar with the original 2010 release of the back-then-not-so-critically acclaimed MMO. And you know what that man did? He…
