How to destroy the padlock and solve the Lead Researcher's Office puzzle in Resident Evil Requiem
Where do you get corrosive and destroy the padlock in Resident Evil Requiem? The main objective in the game’s early hours is to find three quartz, which are used as keys to a door that leads to the clinic’s courtyard. Along the way, you’ll need to complete various puzzles and find some very strange items. As you hunt for the second quartz in Resident Evil Requiem, you’ll need to destroy a padlock on a puzzle box, but it’s not immediately clear what you have to do. Excitingly, this puzzle leads you to facing one of the horror game’s most terrifying…
I’m pretty horrified that Pokémon is now 30 years old, so I’ve decided to fight the existential dread by playing N64 all weekend. Specifically, I’m planning on playing Pikachu’s 3D debut on an actual Nintendo 64, potentially with some friends if they’re up for a Pokémon Stadium party, so I thought I’d share the setups I’m planning to use.When it comes to using the best retro consoles, I’m constantly swapping in and out systems and gadgets. To celebrate Pokémon’s 30th Anniversary, it feels only right that I use the special edition Pikachu N64 console from the year 2000, but you…
As Warhammer 40,000: Dark Heresy gets an early gameplay look-in, Rogue Trader gets an infinitely brief DLC teaser
Last year, Owlcat announced they were working on another CRPG set within the world of Warhammer 40,000 called Dark Heresy. This would have potentially led to an assumption that they were done with their previous game, Rogue Trader, but nope! They’re still going, and a brief teaser for that CRPG’s next bit of DLC was shared (and when I say brief, I do mean it), and to wet your appetite, some gameplay for Dark Heresy is there to have a look at too. The DLC is titled The Infinite Museion (how often do you think that’s going to…
When I started writing about VPNs a few years ago, I was talking about how they can help you watch region-exclusive YouTube videos and stuff like that. I never thought that the subject would, in any way, ever end up encompassing the subject of human mortality and what exactly happens after we die. While I can’t tell you what happens on a metaphysical level, I can tell you something that might well happen in the physical world of day-to-day life – or at least, the digital world of the internet. Information has recently come to light about Meta’s Project Lazarus,…
As Pokemon Winds and Waves' Pombon quickly racks up adoring fans, everyone hopes the fiery Pomeranian can avoid a major starter curse: "Please keep Pombon on 4 legs please I'm begging"
Pokemon Winds and Waves have been officially unveiled, and I’m sure many will agree when I say the adorable Fire-type starter, Pombon, might be the best part of Generation 10 so far. However, fans are already begging the devs at Game Freak for one thing – please, keep that little dog on four legs.Pombon is an adorable little guy. It’s literally just a fluffy, fire-breathing Pomeranian puppy – what’s not to love? Well, Pokemon fans have been burned many times before with their Fire-type starters (pun intended), which have an odd habit of frequently leaving their cute quadruped forms behind…
SteelSeries Arctis Nova 7X Wireless Gen 2 specs: Connection: 2.4GHz wireless, Bluetooth, USB Microphone: Retractable Drivers: 40mm Frequency response: 20Hz – 22kHz Battery life: 54 hours (2.4GHz), 42 hours (Bluetooth) Price: £180 / $200 So much of what the SteelSeries Arctis Nova 7X Wireless Gen 2 does, it does right. Its build quality is outstanding, having a thickness and solidity that most wireless headsets lack. Its stretchy headband, as on pretty much all SteelSeries headsets, successfully tricked my entire skull into thinking it was lighter than it is. It’s flexible, working over Bluetooth or a 2.4GHz dongle, the latter’s USB-C…
Former Highguard senior level designer Alex Graner admits his “biggest fear” came true when the squad shooter failed to keep players around due to what he saw as too much focus on the competitive scene. In a highly competitive space where multiplayer games like Counter-Strike 2, PUBG, Apex Legends, and Arc Raiders dominate the Steam charts, Highguard was going to have to hit hard to make any impression. That didn’t happen, and within just a few weeks Graner and many of his co-workers had already been laid off. Speaking on the Quad Damage podcast, Graner discusses his concerns during the…
"We here at Blizzard feel very lucky and happy that we're not using generative AI": World of Warcraft Midnight composer says devs are making "what we think is cool"
As major publishers and giant tech companies attempt to shove generative AI into everything, World of Warcraft Midnight’s composer counts himself lucky that Blizzard Entertainment seemingly isn’t using the tech.World of Warcraft’s lead composer Leo Kaliski says as much in an interview with Game Informer ahead of the long-running MMORPG’s next expansion, Midnight, out now in early access and due to release for everyone on March 2, 2026.Generative AI and its use in game development has been a hot button topic these last few years, whether it’s focused on Arc Raiders’ text-to-voice dialogue or a highly controversial texture in Clair…
Nivalis is a game that whenever I see it I just think “oh, that can’t be right, games like this don’t actually exist do they?” Arguable, until it’s actually out, its existence is neither here nor there. But at the very least for the month of February, instead of talking at us lot in their monthly devlogs, developer Ion Lands opted to show off a little snippet of the game’s opening moments to tide us over until release. As it turns out, the game starts as many often (perhaps too often) do, with you waking up not quite entirely…
Path of Exile's new Mirages "will certainly" boost ground loot, but GGG is "aware of the problem" in the long term
Path of Exile 3.28 is looking spicy, and I’m glad to see that the wider PoE community has responded with a similar level of excitement to my own impressions of the Mirage league and new-look endgame Atlas map. Ahead of the reveal, I sat down to speak across timezones with game director Mark Roberts and game designer Christopher ‘Octavian’ Laferriere to discuss the best Mirage activities in 3.28, how Grinding Gear Games is expanding the main campaign, and the new update’s impact on the eternal ground loot debate. Last time I spoke to Roberts, he admitted that balancing his time…
