May the fourth is here, and that means a host of Star Wars-related everything is being celebrated today. Just in time for Grogu and the Mandalorian arriving in cinemas on May 22, Secretlab has joined in the fun, dropping its latest Star Wars gaming chair, the Titan Evo Mandalorian Edition.

Resident Evil Requiem’s producer has commented on the negative reaction to the game’s DLSS 5 AI-powered makeover revealed by Nvidia earlier this year.Revealed in March, DLSS 5 uses an AI model to alter the visuals of supported games running on Nvidia graphics cards, adding what it calls “photoreal lighting and materials”.However, the initial reveal was met with strong criticism from many players and games industry figures for how it appears to drastically alter the original art direction of the supported games.Speaking to Eurogamer, Capcom’s Masato Kumzawa said he considered the strong sentiment around protagonist Grace’s ‘glamorous’ makeover shown in Nvidia’s demo as a…
When Nvidia unveiled its AI-powered DLSS 5 tech earlier this year, Resident Evil Requiem was one of the titles on display. The yassified versions of Leon and Grace that accompanied the announcement were presented as next-generation graphics technology, but most people with eyes pretty quickly recognized them as a serious insult to the original game’s art direction. For its part, Capcom is glad people hated the demo, since that means they liked the real Grace’s look.”The fact a lot of players commented they really liked the original design of Grace and didn’t want to see it changed was a positive,”…
A thing that kind of got lost somewhere along the way in the Sonic the Hedgehog series is its themes of environmentalism. The games just kind of became about doing Cool Things or kissing human women, all of which I approve to be clear in as earnest a way as I can come across.

That something being, quite simply, making art yourself is good, actually. Here’s the setting: you play…
Gadgets have always been a core part of Bond’s arsenal. Whether it be poison dart pens or laser watches, 007 isn’t generally someone who’ll run and gun with an SMG. At a recent preview of 007 First Light, I spoke to Tom Marcham, Senior Combat Designer at IO Interactive, about the challenges of designing and developing the gadgets Bond uses in the game. I asked Marcham about the process of designing new gadgets that’d make sense in the action game. He said that gadgets were “one of the things on the project that went through the most iterations.” Gadgets are…

Thanks to Doctor Strange’s spell at the end of Spider-Man: No Way Home, Peter Parker is without more than his bestie Ned and girlfriend MJ in Spider-Man: Brand New Day. Yep, he’s without Tony Stark’s financial backing in the upcoming Marvel movie, too…With his buddy-slash-unofficial sponsor having died in Avengers: Endgame, Tom Holland’s titular hero will find himself having to make his own tech this time around. How? Well, with “a 3D printer on steroids”, according to script pages recently shared by director Destin Daniel Cretton (via Entertainment Weekly).”[It’s] something that could be made by a kid genius [with] limited…
The highly anticipated return of Cache has finally arrived, as Valve dropped the reworked and remastered version of the iconic map as part of its CS2 update on Tuesday, April 28. The map has only been available for a matter of hours at this point, but it’s already looking like one of the best map remakes yet, bringing improvements to both gameplay and visuals without losing the magic of Cache that we all know and love. Last seen in Counter-Strike’s active map pool in 2019, players have been waiting to see Cache added to CS2. Seven years later, we finally…

Diablo 4 streamer Mekuna just beat the new Lord of Hatred campaign’s nasty new Torment 12 difficulty tier in 17 hours – and the fact that he was able to complete such a hardcore feat seems to worry him. Not because playing 17 hours straight of Diablo 4 likely does something funny to your organs, but because he thinks T12 is too achievable.Mekuna writes in the description for his summary video on YouTube discussing what he calls the “Diablo 4 LoH Endgame Issue,” “it just didn’t take that long. With the right approach, anyone can do it.”To me, a person…
