Vanguard, Remedy’s mysterious multiplayer game, is being rebooted. Just a couple weeks after saying that it hoped to have the game’s “proof-of-concept” finished by the end of the year, the studio announced today that it’s decided to take the project in a whole new direction, with a whole new codename. We never really learned anything…
Gathering Schematics is a big part of Modern Warfare 3‘s new MWZ mode, letting you permanently unlock Wonder Weapons and consumables to bring into each game with you. Rather than having to find an Aether Tool at the start of a match to upgrade your weapon’s rarity, you can bring one with you. Instead of…
If Intel’s feeble 6GHz Intel Core i9-14900K Raptor Lake refresh CPU ain’t doin’ it for you, don’t panic. A new and as yet unannounced variant, running at an all important 200MHz faster, has been spotted. Give it up for the Core i9 14900KS, that critical “S” indicating that this is a 6.2GHz chip. At least,…
According to the website How Long To Beat, Fallout: New Vegas takes an average of 131 hours to complete to 100%. That number doesn’t include the four chunks of story DLC the game received after launch, which collectively add another 23 hours to the game. Nor does it account for the 43 pages of quest…
I recently sat down for an interview with Amelia Tyler, the voice of Baldur’s Gate 3‘s many, many lines of narration. We talked about the Dark Urge, her favourite lines, and scaring the crap out of carers at an old people’s home (hypothetically). But we also spoke about mental health, a subject Tyler’s very transparent…
As with all emergent tech, AI has been an absolute rollercoaster. We’ve gone from funky deep-dream psychedelia and crunchy robot voices that sort of sound like Spongebob to a legal and ethical minefield. While it’s been used for some cool stuff, like DLSS upscaling, it’s also, uh, been used by the UK government for welfare…
A personal catastrophe has recently befallen me. My trusty old chair, an ancient behemoth of gaming comfort that has seen far more of me than I would comfortably like to admit, has finally given up the ghost. It sits now, befallen in the corner, a shell of what it once was. The pneumatic lift has…
Black Friday officially starts on November 24, though many online retailers have already kicked off their holiday sales, and you’ll be sure to see lots of great PCs and components with big discounts. When it comes to solid state drives (SSDs), the good news is that you can get some fantastic ones for very little…
Star Wars: Dark Forces is the latest nineties’ PC gaming classic to receive an overhaul from remastering maestros Nightdive Studios. But as this month’s PC Gamer magazine reveals, LucasArts’ shooter has proved unusually challenging from a technical perspective. Speaking to PCG’s print editor Robert Jones, Nightdive’s project lead on Dark Forces explains the game features…
You there, at the back. Stop sniggering. That isn’t what it looks like, its an important artifact from ancient Herculaneum, okay? And it’s just been decoded by something almost as elderly, but significantly less crappy; none other than an Nvidia GTX 1070. How so, you cry? The rather unprepossessing lump shown above is actually a…
