As is always the case in Arc Raiders, finding all the random bits and bobs that you thought were completely useless until you suddenly need them is a right pain in the arse. I’m looking at you, humidifiers and toasters. The light bulbs that you need for the third phase of the Expedition Project are…
Let’s face it, Arc Raiders‘ robots are terrifying. Sure, you can one-tap a Pop, but if one (or even worse, a pack) sneaks up on you, you’re toast. Wasps may be similarly low on the food chain, but underestimate them and they’ll drop you every time. And don’t get me started on Ticks. The point…
Last week I shared some delightful trivia about Windows’ Bluetooth drivers, which really don’t seem like they should be compatible with the words “delightful trivia.” But they are! Microsoft had to make a carveout in its Bluetooth driver code for a specific mouse—its own Wireless Notebook Presenter Mouse 8000, released in 2006—because someone stuck a…
We’ve been patiently waiting for FromSoftware to say a single word about its plans for Elden Ring Nightreign’s DLC, which was meant to include new bosses as well as playable characters. Now we’ve seen it: in a surprise trailer during Sony’s Japan-focused State of Play livestream on Tuesday, the studio debuted The Forsaken Hollows, its…
We’re reliving the Japanese horror renaissance from the early ’00s, minus all those years of console exclusivity. During today’s Japan-focused State of Play, Koei Tecmo announced that Fatal Frame 2: Crimson Butterfly Remake will launch on March 12, 2026. That’s excellent news for the folks who spent 1999 through 2005 jumping between numbered Silent Hill,…
The time has come for Elden Ring Nightreign’s DLC. FromSoftware dropped a jam-packed trailer at Sony’s State of Play today that has glimpses of a transformed map, new characters, new bosses, and enemies returning from the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC. It’s called The Forsaken Hollows, and the first thing we see is a few…
Epic Games boss Tim Sweeney has waded into the furor over the use of generative AI for videogame voices, saying the technology presents an “opportunity for in-game voice and voice actors,” with games that could potentially have “infinite, context-sensitive, personality-reflecting dialog based on and tuned by human voice actors.” The exchange began with a comment…
The wait for Fallout 5 just keeps getting longer (heck, The Elder Scrolls 6 is still a long ways off and it’s coming first), so Bethesda has released Fallout 4 once more to tide us over. Fallout 4 Anniversary Edition comes with all the DLC included in the Game of the Year Edition, plus a…
The fallout from Rockstar’s firing of over 30 employees last week continues as workers gather outside the offices in protest of what the Independent Workers’ of Great Britain (IWGB) union alleges was a “brazen” act of union busting. YouTube channel People Make Games spoke with some of the developers and IWGB organizers about how they’re…
When I look back on my years of PC gaming, I realize they’re punctuated by a bunch of you had to be there kind of moments. It’s the type of experience that, for better or worse, makes it an instant PC gaming classic. I’m immediately reminded of my early days in Rust, back when I…
