At this point what isn’t in Fortnite? Godzilla in Jordans? Check. Our favourite virtual popstar Hatsune Miku? That would be a yes. So I’m never really surprised when I see a new collab announced for Fortnite, and the latest Toy Story crossover is no exception to that. Teased in a short video that Fortnite shared…
Some game premises are so wonderfully ridiculous you can’t help but get on board. Wanderburg essentially asks the question: ‘what if it was medieval times, but every building had wheels?’ Perfect, no notes. Into this world of rolling stonework trundles my little castle, equipped with a few archers at the battlements and some cannons jutting…
Ursula K. Le Guin once said, “Science fiction is not predictive; it is descriptive.” Sci-fi is about today as much as it’s about tomorrow, and behind all its clones and aliens and time machines are metaphors for the times those stories were written in. Looking back at 1000xResist, the first game from indie studio Sunset…
Many AI proponents tout the tech for its potential to streamline complex tasks in the workplace, thereby boosting efficiency and productivity for humans. Unfortunately, recent research from Gartner suggests that’s far from the norm in practice. It turns out that one in five projects attempting to inject AI into IT infrastructure and operations (I&O) fail,…
It was just over a month ago that Windrose Crew asked for more time to cook on their upcoming pirate survival game Windrose, because despite rolling out a new trailer they just weren’t ready to announce a release date. But that was then and this is now, and now, courtesy of an appearance at today’s…
Crimson Desert, a game about simulating a large Scottish man and his friends and sometimes their adventures in space, is pretty weird. Depending on which precise member of the PC Gamer editorial staff you ask, that’s either high praise or venomous criticism (I’m neutral—the game runs terribly on my machine, so I’ve not played much…
We know the trope of the cozy life sim: you’ve inherited a tumbledown farmhouse from a distant relative and need to grow crops, make friends with the locals, and restore the farm to its former glory. That’s not quite the case in Crop, the “gritty farming simulator” developer Carbonara Games described to me as “Stardew…
The Witcher 3 is a deep, textured game with incredible worldbuilding—worldbuilding that the Witcher Online mod on NexusMods delves deeply into. Finally, you can explore the Continent with your friends, doing setting-appropriate activities like (checks notes) er, riding about on each other’s shoulders, and (frantically sweating, flipping through notes in a panic) turning into a…
Earlier this year, dark web hackers claimed to have exfiltrated a huge amount of data from the National Supercomputing Center (NSCC) in Tianjin, China. The hacker group FlamingChina claims that it stole 10 petabytes of data pertaining to advanced science and defence agencies within China. However, a number of security researchers have since cast doubt…
Satoshi Nakamoto, the pseudonymous name of the inventor of bitcoin, has never been publicly unveiled. The New York Times believes it may have finally nailed the right guy, but said guy says it’s not him. In a video report from the New York Times, investigative reporter John Carreyrou argues it is British cryptographer Adam Back….
