Don’t say the ‘D’ word. Ever since Dust 514’s 2013 debut and subsequent flaming out a few years later, a segment of EVE fans have wanted one thing: Dust 2. Well, that and EVE Valkyrie 2. EVE Vanguard is not Dust 2: nooooo. But it is a continuation of that idea, or ideal, and perhaps…
Baldur’s Gate 3‘s latest patch—the third in two months—is out right now, and it’s a doozy. The two big headliners are things we knew about already, but just in case you missed them—Baldur’s Gate 3 is now on Mac, and there’s also now a magic mirror in your camp that’ll let you change your custom…
I feel bad for controller makers. The Xbox Core Wireless and the PlayStation DualSense are pretty much the best things you can put your hands on. Once you find a controller you like, you tend to stick with it. PowerA is going to try anyway. The company has always made reliable, affordable controllers that look…
Ever wondered what it would be like to run around the maps of Armored Core 6 with your Elden Ring character? If not, why the heck not? I’m sure this modder who imported the AC6 maps into Elden Ring surely can’t be the only one interested in exploring them, sword drawn, and ready to fight…
Starfield‘s community keeps getting smarter with their ship builds—we’ve had AI-exploiting nightmares made of corners, ladderless flat discs, and some sci-fi classics. But what about the little guys of the universe—pilots who don’t want some big, fancy warship with 500 autocannons? That’s exactly who these players are repping. The tiny ship trend’s here to stay—well,…
Kiss goodbye to native-res raster rendering. The biggest noise in PC graphics, Nvidia, thinks it’s game over. The future is—it has to be—AI rendering. In fact, AI rendering is more “real” than traditional raster graphics rendering. In a Digital Foundry round table discussion on Nvidia’s new DLSS 3.5 Ray Reconstruction technology, Nvidia’s Vice President Applied…
I’ve never played Cyberpunk 2077 until recently. I didn’t have this job when it came out, I didn’t have a PC that could run it, and its massive bug baggage gave me pause. Add in some (well articulated) critiques about how the story handles its punk, anti-establishment roots, and I felt better off. Well, now…
Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty is out next week, but you can play the 2.0 update now. It’s added a whole host of tune-ups like vehicular combat, new skill trees, balance tweaks to the RPG system, and a revamped police force—but who cares about that? You can do cool rocket jumps on your motorbike now, which…
I often spare a thought as to whether I should pack my Steam Deck when travelling and trying to pack light. It’s a fine problem to have: my portable PC isn’t quite portable enough to slip it into my backpack without debating it in my head. Should I? Shouldn’t I? Often I side with taking…
Bummed that your Starfield character’s beard doesn’t look nearly as lush and masculine as you’d like it to? Well, worry no more over patchy stubble, because this absolute hero has just raised the bar—or more specifically, the texture resolution—for Starfield beards. Thanks to creator BulwarkHD on Nexus Mods, beards just got a whole lot more…
