Another week, another flare up in the AI discourse. Spurred on by Eurogamer’s fascinating, polarising Arc Raiders review (penned by PC Gamer contributor Rick Lane), Arrowhead CEO Shams Jorjani gave his take on the game’s use of AI, the broader discussion surrounding the technology, and how it relates to Helldivers 2. Speaking on The Game…
AI note-taking startup Fireflies received a $1 billion valuation earlier this year, after the launch of its “Talk to Fireflies” AI meeting companion app. It’s an impressive feat for a company started by “two broke guys”—especially as one of its co-founders recently revealed that its AI transcription service was originally powered by both founders typing…
I’ve spent the past two weeks with HyperX’s new Cloud Alpha 2 Wireless, and the pitch is simple: Take a fan‑favorite PC gaming headset, bump the drivers, add simultaneous 2.4 GHz and Bluetooth, and bundle it with a flashy RGB base station that promises to handle every device you own. Then charge $299 (AUD $499)….
I am very excited about the Valve Steam Frame. It’s packed with a beefier processor, higher-capacity RAM, and a better Wi-Fi chip than Meta’s top device, the Meta Quest 3, and this all makes me think Valve has the guts to step into the ring with the company previously known as Facebook. This is before…
The Cold Storage quest in Arc Raiders is the second you’ll have to complete on the new map of Stella Montis after In My Image, and this one sees you tracking down a J Kozma Ventures Container. This is located somewhere on the map, but Shani has no clues for you besides mentioning that the…
Remember when Turtle Beach just made headsets? The days of focusing on making headshots sound orgasmically thwacky are behind this company though, which has expanded its range to flight sim gear, controllers, and even direct drive wheels lately. And, after having acquired the quietly brilliant German innovator Roccat in 2019 and retired the brand name…
We know a lot about the Steam Machine. We know its specifications. We know what it looks like inside. We even know what it’s like to game on it. But we don’t know how much it’ll cost or when it will be available, outside of sometime in the new year. So, I’ve asked around the…
I’m going to be honest for a second: I don’t like using keys in Arc Raiders. I’ve found that trying to shoehorn a high loot run into a match doesn’t always work out well, and I don’t like how I have to put the key in my only safe slot just in case some murderous…
Completing In My Image in Arc Raiders will likely be your first task when you drop into the newly uncovered map of Stella Montis. This region is pretty dicey, filled with a high density of dangerous Arc enemies like Shredders (effectively murder janitor-bots) plus the regular cast of Wasps, Hornets, Pops, Ticks, and Turrets. The…
Streamer Emiru says that, among other things, Twitch has agreed to donate $100,000 to an unspecified violence protection charity following her assault at TwitchCon. Things initially kicked off back in mid-October when, during a TwitchCon meet and greet, a man was able to bypass security and the line to approach Emiru and pull her into…
