For every 100 points he extracts from defeated enemies, he can get a new ability from the Ability Enhancer, and some of those can turn Leon Kennedy into even more of a superhero than he already is.While some abilities come with downsides, they all have unique uses when combined. You can use multiple abilities to buff your close combat power, for example, and turn Leon into a brutal melee…
Over the past year or so, CD Projekt Red has welcomed quite a lot of talent – over 220 new developers, in fact – with a good few of them coming from RPGs like Baldur’s Gate 3 and, of course, Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 and its predecessor.As work on The Witcher 4 and Cyberpunk 2 presses on, CD Projekt Red is pulling in a good few new devs from other legendary studios. In December, an ex-Baldur’s Gate 3 dev joined the team, while a former Mass Effect lead hopped on board as AI director in February. In between, there have…
Our infamously workshy news editor Edwin – he only posted barely twice the number of articles last week as I did, the skiver – is off doing something that isn’t the Maw this morning. See? This time he didn’t even have the gumption to hurl his own body into its waiting gullet, where through the pain of cracked bones and ruined ponytail, he’d endure the acidslide down into the Maw’s endlessly cavernous belly before hacking his way out with a crude axe fashioned from the beast’s own ribcage. Honestly, I’m going to have to have a word with him, once…

Guerilla Games co-founder and former Epic Games technical director Arjan Brussee is making what he styles a “European alternative” to US-developed videogame engines like Unreal and Unity (the latter originally conceived in Denmark, to be fair). In a show of true generosity towards internet wisecrackers, he’s calling his WIP creation “The Immense Engine”. Love to see an entrepreneur just absolutely faceplant any and all Freudian undertones. Brussee is also touting both “full” generative AI integration and possible applications for the defence industry, where game engines have long been used for simulation and training.
A new job listing on Neowiz’s career page has confirmed that Round8, the developer behind much-renowned soulslike game, Lies of P, is hiring an “AI Creator” for its Game Art and Creative team. The listing states that the team is looking for someone who can “leverage generative AI technology to maximize the efficiency of the art production process and innovate the visual quality of games,” which I’m sure is as disappointing to you as it is to me. Per the new job listing, however, it appears that Round8 is looking to integrate generative AI into its artistic workflows. The company…

The best gaming headsets can sometimes look a bit too similar, and that is especially true of the Audeze Maxwell 2. It bears a striking resemblance to the older Audeze Maxwell, and without my years of testing and reviewing the latest cups, I wouldn’t be able to tell the difference at a first glance. But the audiophile brand has found a way to set the two apart with the release of the Audeze Reskin earcup covers.Starting from $19.99 (Audeze), these official Audeze ReSkin earcup covers are “easily interchangable” and allow you to swap out the plain all-black covers for unique…
