The newly released PC port of Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 hasn’t enjoyed the smoothest of launches, thanks to bugs and performance problems. And now it seems that one aspect of the conversion that is making things worse is the use of DirectStorage, with the system sucking up all-important GPU resources. Spider-Man 2 was ported by Nixxes…
“History rhymes. It’s not repeating itself. It rhymes.” Warhorse’s global PR manager Tobias Stolz-Zwilling is paraphrasing an aphorism often attributed to Mark Twain—though its origins are actually unknown. He is bemoaning the fact that, once again, the Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 studio has found itself embroiled in the exhausting culture war. Back in 2017, before…

You’d be forgiven for thinking that 2024 was a year that Intel would prefer to just forget about. Raptor Lake chips self-destructing, Arrow Lake disappointing, and Pat Gelsinger getting the boot (sorry, retiring) were just some of the low points from last year.

In a sentence which may never have been written before and which I will surely be challenged about when I try to get into heaven, the official artbook for Assassin’s Creed Shadows has leaked on a hentai website.
