‘Once gamers try it, they won’t want to go back’: The curse of wonky high-FOV graphics may be a thing of the past with this single plugin

If you’ve just bought a new ultrawide monitor or invested in a top-end headset for some serious VR action, one of the graphics settings you’ve probably tried changing in games is the field of view. What you’ve also probably noticed is that opening up the view to make things more immersive just ruins the visual…

Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra has been delayed again, and it no longer has a clear release window: ‘The team is working hard to create something truly special’

We haven’t seen much of Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra just yet, but its story trailer was certainly a looker when it popped up at GDC last year. If that got you hyped, well, this won’t: the game’s been delayed to “beyond early 2026.” It’s the game’s second delay. The first came via a post…

Take-Two’s big boss Strauss Zelnick says it got the ‘perfect result’ from slimmed-down mob tale Mafia: The Old Country, so I’d brace for more games like that if I were you

I didn’t love Mafia: The Old Country.

23 years later, Morrowind on controller and Steam Deck just got a million times better: The latest version of OpenMW is out now

I’ve said it before and, unless PC Gamer fires me for all that embezzling I’ve been doing, I’m bound to say it again: OpenMW is one of the coolest mod projects out there. Much like DevilutionX does for Diablo or Daggerfall Unity does for Daggerfall, OpenMW is an open-source engine reimplementation for The Elder Scrolls…
