As marketing bonanzas go, Steam Next Fest has a special place in my heart. A fancy trailer is nice and all, but these are videogames we’re talking about—let me play them! I’ve already dipped my toe into this round of demos with the surprisingly fun Bubsy 4D, but there’s plenty more on offer. A peek…
The original Fallout’s lead developer Tim Cain has dropped another in his long-running series of videos discussing the earliest games in the series, and with this one, he’s definitively answered one of the big questions about how everything kicked off. Well, kinda. Cain’s latest video is called “Non-expository Fallout lore” and opens with some necessary…
World of Warcraft will strip away mods, or addons, with the ability to process information in combat when the upcoming Midnight expansion releases. And that idea is now changing many core aspects of the game, its director says. In an exclusive PC Gamer interview, senior game director Ion Hazzikostas says that over the years, the…
The next Magic: The Gathering set is far from the caverns of Ixalan and the grottos of Theros—indeed, it’s set somewhere beneath the storm drains of New York City. As Wizards of the Coast announced Friday, it’s a crossover with the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles themselves. Universes Beyond might be something of a contentious talking…
If you’ve noticed that jumping around in Battlefield 6 with your knife or the repair tool out led to some sluggish movement, that should be fixed now. The Battlefield Comms X account sent out a post yesterday that a fix was rolled out addressing “an issue where jump momentum gets unintentionally interrupted when jumping with…
I think most people would agree that it takes a long while to level up in Battlefield 6, making the task of reaching the max level a daunting prospect. Thankfully, you’ll unlock heaps of guns, gadgets, and even cosmetics as you level up, so there’s plenty of breadcrumbs to keep you going. Nevertheless, if you’ve…
Every now and then, I come across a tech development that makes me feel like I’m living in the future, and this is one of those moments. A team of scientists at Fudan University in Shanghai have published a study detailing their latest achievement, a fully functional memory chip built with integrated 2D materials a…
Harvey Randall, Staff Writer (Image credit: Future) Last week I was: Sick, mostly. But also pretty excited about Starfinder: Afterlight. Good news, everybody. After over a year of griping about Dawntrail’s story, griping about Dawntrail’s release schedule, and griping about Forked Tower, I’m finally logging back into Final Fantasy 14 again on a regular basis….
Slap Josh Sawyer’s name in the credits of a game and I will, at the very least, pay attention to it. The guy’s earned it: with directorial credits on Fallout: New Vegas, Pillars of Eternity 1 and 2, and Pentiment, his batting average on ‘helming games that enter the Joshua Wolens pantheon of faves’ is…
It’s fair to say that, as shooters go, Battlefield 6 has quite a fast time-to-kill, with guns like the M4A1 and SGX dropping you in a matter of seconds. However, high bloom (random bullet deviation causing shots to not land where you’re actually aiming), especially on assault rifles (looking at you, M433), has resulted in…
