LG has announced a new LCD panel technology for laptops it claims is dramatically more efficient than existing panels. Known as “Oxide 1 Hz”, LG Display says it, “automatically switches the refresh rate down to 1 Hz when the screen is static and up to 120 Hz when needed.” The result is, “dramatically improved battery…
Hey everyone, I’m Dan Smith – representing 100% of Dan Smith Studios. I’m a British developer based in Newcastle and today, in collaboration with my publisher Ripstone, I’m delighted to be announcing my first game: The Spectrum Retreat. The Spectrum Retreat is a narrative-driven first person puzzle game coming to PS4 this summer. You wake…
The device is expected to include a MediaTek Dimensity 8300 chip. Earlier today, the Chinese handheld manufacturer Anbernic officially announced the Anberic RG477M, a new “high performance” Android-based emulation handheld, in a brief teaser video published over on its YouTube channel. For some of you, we expect this probably won’t be the first time you…
As much as I love Marathon, its progression hits like a brick wall after a few dozen hours. Quests become longer multi-step treks across maps around the same time high-tier upgrades start asking for dozens of items that I’ve encountered maybe four times. These are issues that Bungie is seemingly testing against in an “end…
While it was The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt that brought CD Projekt RED worldwide fame, the studio had already created a brace of The Witcher games before then, with the original monster-slaying RPG of the trilogy released back in 2007. The Witcher was built on BioWare’s Aurora Engine, which was most famous at the time…
Sovereign Tower has genuinely surprised me. At first glance, it’s a cosy-looking management romp with shades of Reigns and Yes, Your Grace. It’s colourful, a little silly and chock-full of charming eccentrics. This is not an inaccurate assessment, but it’s also so much more—and a lot darker than the soft colour palette and whimsical tone…
The grass is greener. With just one week left to go in the second Pokémon Legends: Z-A Ranked Battle Season, The Pokémon Company has lifted the lid on what the next competitive event will entail. Ranked Battle Season 3 will kick off on 27th November at 6am UTC, and will be sticking around until 18th…
Stuck in Miiverse. It probably says something about the system that the question ‘y cant metroid crawl?’ is one of the most memorable nostalgia nuggets from the Wii U era. Don’t get me wrong – while the initial messaging was poor, the GamePad’s killer apps never really arrived, and the system itself was slow and…
Kurt Kuhlmann probably knows what location we’ll be visiting when The Elder Scrolls 6 launches in approximately 100 years. Or at least, the former Elder Scrolls loremaster knows where Bethesda wanted to go before he left the company in 2023. But no, he’s not telling us. “From when we were talking about it way back…
Remember when a computer meant something that used traditional, familiar algorithms? Ah, simple times. Now we not only have machine learning—aka, supposed “artificial intelligence”—but also quantum computing, which uses microwaves to get qubits to do wacky and seemingly impossible things. Regarding the latter kinds of computers, though, Nvidia CEO Jen-Hsun Huang reckons we’re quite far…
