I’m very thankful for what Phison has managed to achieve over the last few years. Its controller tech has been incredible, delivering massive gobbets of performance for those in the professional industry. But that doesn’t mean I want its controllers to be the only thing I review for the next five years. Here’s the thing:…
World of Warcraft’s been making strides in the realm of visual clarity, recently—like upgrading its dreaded swirlies into actual, proper AoE markers. Well, more strides are just around the corner as Blizzard continues to make improvements. As posted on the public test realm (PTR) forums for the game’s upcoming patch, Ghosts of K’aresh, Blizzard’ll be…
It’s a big day in the Zone: Stalker 2’s mega 1.5 patch is here, bringing with it a suite of improvements to the game’s ever-so-slightly busted and dearly missed A-Life system, a load of fixes, and some new content. But frankly, I’ll deal with that in a separate article, because what I want to speak…
I know I have the appearance of a grumpy old soul, and given half the chance, I’ll whine about GPUs until the end of the universe pops up to say hello, but I honestly do like low-end, cheap graphics cards. Especially small ones that can fit into a compact case or just use a basic…
Prepare for a pixel-pumping party, peeps, because the HDMI 2.2 standard has been finalised and it’s ready to go for manufacturers of displays and graphics cards (via ComputerBase). The top-spec HDMI 2.2 variant packs 96 Gbps of bandwidth, which is good enough for 4K at 480 Hz refresh, 8K at 240 Hz or even 12K…
One of the fun things about the eternal, universal furore around Baldur’s Gate 3 is that the game’s actors clearly love it just as much as the fans do. Dip into the BG3 category on Twitch and your odds are pretty good that one or more of the streamers you find will have voiced a…
As with the first game, Death Stranding 2 has various stats you can improve and level up over time, though they’re more varied—and important—than before.. You also improve them in a slightly different way, too. With even harsher conditions across Mexico and Australia than in North America, including new storms, earthquakes, landslides, and so on,…
Earning Porter Grade in Death Stranding 2 is just one of the ways that the game creates a fluid skill system, letting you play it however you want, and earn different grades based on what you’re doing. Though it’s not entirely clear at first, once you unlock APAS Enhancements (Death Stranding 2’s skill system), the…
Working out how to unlock fast travel in Death Stranding 2 will be a priority for any porter who doesn’t want to lug their weary bones across the entirety of Australia as they expand the Chiral Network. Sadly, it takes a little while to unlock via progressing the main story, meaning you’ll have to complete…
The first few hours of Death Stranding 2 are slow and oddly relaxing, considering the sandstorms, floods, and rockslides you’ll be clambering through. That all changes at the end of Episode 1: Sam, where you have to find Lou and Fragile. Sam’s home is raided by mysterious soldiers, forcing his Bridge Baby and ally to…
