Well, it’s the first gaming monitor capable of 1,000 Hz at full 1080p resolution, as opposed to displays hitting that kind of refresh rate at, say, 720p. The tempting…
When Dishonored director Harvey Smith announced his new studio, co-founded with fellow Arkane alumnus Ben Horne, there was no doubt about the kind of games the team would be working on. Black Pony Immersive makes it pretty damn clear. Putting “immersive” right there in the name is a statement of intent, one born from his…
Busy times for the Model 1 masterpiece. Some inspiring video has been uploaded to X that appears to show a homebrewed port of Sega’s Virtua Racing running on everyone’s favourite crank-yankin’ handheld console, Playdate.
