A couple weeks back I noted that I’d been tracking GPU prices on an almost weekly basis for a year now, and that things have never been worse. Well, PC Partner—one of the biggest manufacturers of graphics cards you’ve probably never heard of—suggests it’s going to get even worse. And probably quickly. PC Partner makes…
“No AI” used in its creation. A recompiled PC port of Probe Entertainment and Acclaim’s N64 futuristic racing game, Extreme-G, has just been released, giving the game “a chance to shine again on modern hardware” with various enhancements. Extreme-G was originally released in 1997, almost a year before Wipeout 64 debuted on the Nintendo console…
The Excuse is Not Enough.

In yet another unpleasant move in our AI hellscape, Amazon was caught training its generative AI using Twitch stream content earlier this month—a particularly brazen strategy, especially given Twitch’s chief product officer admitted that the data collection was opt-out because “nobody would opt in.” Hmm, I wonder why! Anyway, despite attempts to insist that Twitch…
GameCenter CX’s “Chief” Shinya Arino cast the final vote. Deciding what actually constitutes “retro” in the world of gaming is a tricky topic — one that inevitably ends up provoking a lot of debate among people online.

Down, boy. Ahead of a planned release later this year, Shift Up has provided a fresh look at Stellar Blade: Complete Edition on the Switch 2. The trailer itself is age-restricted, but go ahead and hop on over to YouTube to view it. Showcasing some kick-ass gameplay, the visuals on Nintendo’s console look pretty great…
“This project has been a long time coming, and has not been without difficulty.”. Over 31 years after its original release, an English fan translation patch has been released for Winkysoft and Banpresto’s Super Famicom strategy RPG Dai 4 Ji Sūpā Robotto Taisen (otherwise known as Super Robot Wars 4).
