The Steam Controller doesn't just scream for its life; it will also sing its little haptic heart out
By now, you’ve likely seen a million videos of the Steam Controller screaming classic movie-style as it drops from a height. It’s exactly the kind of fun easter egg that makes Valve’s gamepad so special, especially since it uses haptics rather than a speaker. However, rather than making it cry out as it plummets, you can instead use an app to make it chirp a bunch of MIDI tracks.First highlighted by Beebreadtech on TikTok, you can effectively make the Steam Controller sing using an app. Creatively dubbed SteamHapticsSinger, the GitHub program is actually forked from code for Valve’s first gamepad,…

Borderlands 4's new tag-team superboss borrows a killer trick from Dark Souls' Ornstein and Smough
Borderlands 4 update 1.7 is coming at the end of May, and its big highlight is the introduction of the FPS game’s second raid boss encounter. This time we’ll be fighting not one, but two purportedly ‘Invincible’ foes at the same time. As if that wasn’t enough, the pair have taken notes from one of the most iconic double battles in gaming: Ornstein and Smough, arguably the most famous challenge in all of Dark Souls. Taking one of these enemies down is just the beginning, therefore, but the rewards should be worth it. Borderlands 4 Raid Boss 2, to give…

Now that the dust is settling on Lego Minas Tirith and its impressive reveal, I have to ask: what comes next? I know it may sound premature seeing as the kit isn’t due to launch until June, but there’s a method to my madness. Indeed, each kit so far has hidden a reference to what comes next within its many accessories – and I’d be amazed if the White City of Gondor doesn’t pull the same thing.But what could it be? The next entry certainly has big boots to fill; many in the Lord of the Rings range (which you…
As soon as Subnautica 2 was revealed to have four-player co-op, I immediately knew Unknown Worlds’ sub-aquatic sequel would sell like hotcakes. A series with this much of a cult following was always primed to bang, and it’s even more tempting if you can play it with pals. Well, unsurprisingly, it’s done just that, with the developer announcing that it has already racked up two million sales just 12 hours after launch. Having finally entered early access on May 14, Subnautica 2 has proven a popular pick-up. According to an official press release, it’s already racked up a sizable player…

Lanterns will be the first story on the DCU timeline thanks to a flashback storyline in 2016
Lanterns will have two timelines, one of which is set 10 years in the past – which means the TV show will be the first story on the new DCU timeline.The 2016 timeline looks to be the main story. It involves a shooting in Nebraska, which Hal Jordan is investigating with new recruit John Stewart. This is the plot line teased in the show’s trailers and promotional material, but it looks like the action will also cut to 10 years later “to something else” happening in 2026.”That becomes a second mystery that we know is down the road for us,”…
"This is gonna break your mods": Stellaris is getting nomad empires, aka "moving planets", despite Paradox previously deeming this "impossible"
Sci-fi 4X strategy game Stellaris is getting a Nomads expansion on June 15th that lets you jettison traditional ideas about territory and play as a wholly mobile civilisation – travelling around the galaxy in Arkships that serve as colonies, shipyards, and military or science vessels. You know the old Terran saying: home is wherever you park your trillion tonne hermetically sealed artificial habitat. Here’s another, related Terran saying: a trillion tonne hermetically sealed artificial habitat parks wherever the hell it pleases. The expansion will launch alongside free Stellaris update 4.4, named Pegasus. Developers Paradox have put together a choice of…
Most of the early game items you craft in Subnautica 2 can be fabricated from the basic resources you find around you. Titanium, bronze, and even plant fibre are readily available and require no refining to be useful for basic applications. Once you begin to venture further from your base, however, you need better equipment and more sophisticated ingredients, such as Titanium Ingots. Improving is key in survival games like Subnautica 2, especially when the environment is so hostile. You quite literally cannot survive on your own and need to even the odds with improved equipment. Titanium ingots are vital…
