Is there a PC gaming experience more universal than poking at graphics settings one at a time, dropping anisotropic filtering and rendering distance from high, to medium, to low, in the forlorn hope of seeing the framerate counter inch over the 60 fps line? I found myself in that familiar spot this afternoon when Capcom…
So, you found yourself relegated to the dustbin of history. Round the decay of that colossal wreck that is your tryhard capital city, the lone and level sands stretch far away. But it didn’t have to be like this. Victory in Civilization 7 is a bit different than it has been in past iterations of…
As part of the 25th anniversary of The Sims, the New York Times spoke to the original game’s lead designer Will Wright, who gave some insight into how its AI was programmed. Part of the inspiration came from an unlikely source: his house burning down in 1991. It was nothing like the fires in The…
Dragon Age: The Veilguard had a strong launch and solid reviews, but it ultimately fell significantly short of EA’s sales expectations, leading to a dramatic downsizing of BioWare. As expected, the company addressed the question of what went wrong during today’s quarterly financial call, and it sounds like CEO Andrew Wilson thinks the decision to…
As if Monster Hunter Wilds wasn’t already threatening to devour every scrap of spare time we have for the first half of 2025, Capcom threw in another reason to spend hours and hours making our hunters look as cool as possible: Photo mode. It’s not exactly a huge surprise that Wilds has a buit-in photo…
During its quarterly investor’s call on Tuesday, EA said we can expect the next Battlefield game to release sometime during its 2026 fiscal year. Different companies define their fiscal years differently. EA is currently in its 2025 fiscal year, but that ends this March, after which the 2026 fiscal year begins. So, where EA is…
I count 24 days until Monster Hunter Wilds is out. That’s close enough that I’d recommend going on a full promotional blackout until you can play it yourself, but if you’re already here, you should know Capcom’s latest Wilds showcase debuted another handful of monsters I’d describe with varying levels of “gross” and “cool.” I’m…
Normally in games where you inherit a farm or plant shop or garden from an elderly relative, you conveniently have enough of a green thumb to keep that farm or plant shop or garden alive and thriving. (At least until winter.) Not so in Greenheart Necromancer, a game in which your thumb is only green…
During a showcase livestream today, Capcom followed up a brief look at its upcoming reboot Onimusha: Way of the Sword with a surprise announcement: a remaster of PlayStation 2 classic Onimusha 2: Samurai’s Destiny, coming to consoles and PC sometime this year. It’s about time. We were happy to see Capcom dust off the first…
Well, that didn’t take long. Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 just launched today and a fleet-fingered modder has already made a change to a cool but semi-contentious feature. The Unlimited Saving 2 mod by modder EddieShoe for Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 means you can save your game by pressing F5 instead of having to brew and…
