As if to confirm my point yesterday that OLED panel tech is far from dead, here comes TCL confirming plans for a new multi-billion-dollar OLED factory. But this is the really exciting bit. Not only will this factory focus on OLED panels for monitors, laptops and tablets, at least at first, but it also uses…
There was a time when even we PC gamers had to admit there was a place for console gaming, in part because consoles were just a lot cheaper than gaming PCs. It’s hard to make that argument today, though, and it looks like that won’t be changing any time soon, as Microsoft is keen on…
One of the best parts of Battlefield 6 is that you can pretty much play however you want. You don’t have to go in guns blazing all the time, you can focus on fixing vehicles, jetting through the sky, and oftentimes patching up allies. The Support class has always been my go-to in Battlefield games…
Things are dire in the game industry at the moment. Which is, unfortunately, a sentence I’ve been writing for a lot of moments—two years of moments, actually. I am now writing it again, wincing in sympathy, as former Riot executive Greg Street has taken to LinkedIn to have an (understandable) moan about his studio’s lot….
Artificial superintelligence is, for most of us I think, quite a scary thought. A human-like AI, far more intelligent and capable than any we’ve seen before, developed by companies that often seem unprepared (or uncaring) towards the potential knock-on effects of its deployment. Goody. Still, we’ve been told by industry leaders like Mark Zuckerberg that…
World of Warcraft Legion Remix—the second in Blizzard’s limited-time experiments with old expansions—is trying to fix its oops! All tanks issue by throwing an absurd amount of HP at healers and DPS. And a hefty defensive buff on the side, as a treat. Some context: In “Remix” events, WoW players can make an alt that’s…
One of the best things about DLSS, or any upscaling tech for that matter, is the ability to adjust it to your preference. The image quality difference between Performance and Quality can often be dramatic, as it substantially changes the resolution of the game running underneath. The more pixels for the upscaler to work with,…
OpenAI has launched its new Atlas web browser and with it “a step toward a future where most web use happens through agentic systems.” The broad agentic capabilities of the new browser look as impressive as they do terrifying, including the ability to track and remember everything you do and carry out complex, multi-step tasks…
Working out how to forge the new Festival of Accord: Dreamspell armor will be the main concern for anyone logging in to the new Monster Hunter Wilds Halloween event. Just like previous festivals, there are multiple new sets to grab, but you’ll have to acquire the materials to craft them by completing specific event quests….
The year is 2025, and there’s no better indication that we live in an increasingly meaningless and absurdist hellscape than the fact I read the news “They’re re-releasing a 2006 videogame based on a 1984 movie, but with upscaled graphics, but also they might have just bundled mods into it without anyone’s permission” and thought…
