Please let Red Dead Redemption 2’s unsolved ancient spiderweb mystery end by revealing that RDR2 is a spider's dream
“Weird spiderwebs appearing at odd hours of the night in Rockstar’s open world game Red Dead Redemption 2?” you chortle. “That sounds like the testimony of crazy old Edwin Evans-Thirlwell, the guy who writes about new Molyneux projects like a pauper child returning from market with a handful of magic beans”. Mates, I promise I haven’t fallen victim to a scam of some kind. There are weird spiderwebs in RDR2. I read about it on the internet! The spiderwebs appear to be part of a huge Easter egg puzzle the community (aka Youtubers, Xitter users and redditors) are now attempting…
Larian says "there is not going to be any gen-AI art in Divinity," and it's even booted it out of the concept art stage after backlash
Larian Studios has emphasized that the upcoming Divinity will not use any art created by generative-AI tools, and that it will be refraining from using them in the concept art stage “to ensure there is no room for doubt.” The next RPG from the creators of the world-beating Baldur’s Gate 3 made its gruesome first splash at The Game Awards, but comments from game director Swen Vincke that the developer had been exploring the use of gen-AI led to intense community blowback. Naturally, the topic came up frequently throughout a new Divinity AMA, and the team seems eager to put…
Arc Raiders design lead confirms Embark is about make Trigger Nades much harder to use, and nerf Kettle insta-kills too: "You can't have it leave your hand and just blow it up immediately"
Ahead of a balance patch currently planned for Tuesday, January 13, Arc Raiders design lead Virgil Watkins of developer Embark offered a preview of changes being applied to two balance outliers: the Kettle rifle and Trigger Nades.Speaking with GamesRadar+ as part of a forthcoming wide-ranging interview, Watkins discusses the balance of power and value among Arc Raiders’ gear tiers. The Kettle, a common semi-auto rifle capable of melting players when wielded with fast fingers (or a good old-fashioned macro), and Trigger Nades, which are by far the most lethal standard-use grenades around, upset that balance of power as-is and are…
Steam's ancient behemoths face increased competition from new games in the store's 2025 money-making rankings
Right, get ready for some chatter about where the contents of our collective wallets have gone over the past year. Valve’s list of the highest-grossing games on Steam in 2025 has emerged from the great mists, and in a nice revelation, features a larger number of fresh releases than last year’s ranking. That’s alongside all of the moderately to quite old stuff which more folks keep hopping on the train of with every passing 12 month period.
The AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D2 is a possible upcoming AMD CPU that has been rumored ever since AMD unveiled its first round of X3D gaming CPUs at the start of 2025. This monster of a CPU is believed, like the 9950X3D, to feature 16 AMD Zen 5 CPU cores and be partnered with extra 3D V-Cache, but instead of just one 3D V-Cache die, it would get two, making it the ultimate version of AMD’s current AM5 CPU tech. We spoke to AMD about the chip nearly a year ago, with the company explaining that while they could make a…
Black Mirror creator confirms season 8 is officially in the works, "just in time for reality to catch up with it"
Black Mirror creator Charles Brooker says season 8 of the dystopian sci-fi anthology show is already in the works, and “hopefully, it’ll be more Black Mirror than ever.””Well, luckily [Black Mirror] does have a future, so I can confirm that Black Mirror will return, just in time for reality to catch up with it. So, that’s exciting. That chunk of my brain has already been activated and is whirring away,” Brooker tells Tudum, Netflix’s press site.Black Mirror season 7 is currently riding high on a wave of Golden Globe nominations, the series’ first in its 14-plus year history. The season…
Creature collector RPG EvoCreo brings its turn-based monster battling to Steam, a decade on from mobile
I found the opening 15 minutes of EvoCreo’s demo to be a laugh riot, mostly because I accidentally named my character “Help”, not “Helen”. This lent a certain urgency to all the routine scene-setting and tutorial dialogue. Help, Farmer Whatshisname is looking for you! Help, I’m adding a map feature to your tablet! Help, there are over 170 Creos to discover! Given that RPGs can be sluggish at first, I think I’m going to adopt this as standard practice going forward. Nothing gets you over the opening hump like the impression that everybody you speak to has just escaped…
Overwatch 2 Hacked brings back some long-lost maps, and its best limited-time mode just got a chaotic buff
The Overwatch 2 mid-season update has arrived, and I can feel the call of my heyday with its predecessor, beckoning me back like a siren song. That’s because the new Overwatch 2 patch notes for Season 20 have dug the multiplayer game’s Assault maps out of cold storage for a fresh round of Quick Play Hacked. As if that wasn’t enough to put a smile on my face, Blizzard has given its excellent Spirit Showdown limited-time mode a spicy shakeup, and even delivered a Vendetta nerf among its many hero balance changes. As a long-time veteran from the early days…
Fallout co-creator Tim Cain says "there's so much arguing" about games to the point some fans and devs are leaving altogether, but his wisdom is "buy the games you want to see more of," especially indies: "It's the only way forward through this I can see"
Tim Cain, who created the original concept for Fallout and led the development of the first game, has been around the industry long enough to recognize when the culture has shifted. In a new video, Cain breaks down why he believes “there’s so much arguing” about games today. In short? Gamers are struggling to accept that people want different things from each other.”As a developer, I always try to make games with the features I want,” Cain says in a new video titled Arguing About Games, “but then I have people who get mad at me and argue that I…
