"We've heard a clear frustration": Arc Raiders update adds a beach holiday map while patching the gun balance to ensure "all players are challenged by weapon attrition"
Extraction shooter Arc Raiders is officially an acceptable substitute for summer holidays thanks to the new Riven Tides update, out today, which adds a new coastal area with a collapsing hotel, some luxurious tennis courts and an actual slide for you to slide on. As ever, the price you will pay for accessing all of these things is getting murdered by robots – or humans who want your Assorted Seeds.
Total War Warhammer 3 overhauls mod manager, so you'll no longer have to fight Chaos before even starting the game
It’s imperative to mod Total War Warhammer 3 for the best experience. The strategy game is an impressive beast even if you just play vanilla, but a handful of crucial mods make things feel a lot smoother. The only problem is, installing and managing these mods is a bit of a faff, especially when you get carried away and start modding your Skaven to have lore-accurate eyes and to give the Empire access to Grand Cathay’s caravans because it feels fair. Thankfully, developer Creative Assembly has tackled this problem head-on, making big changes to the game’s mod manager. The update…
As hackers say they’ve cracked Denuvo DRM, 2K and Denuvo reportedly add mandatory 14-day checks to some games
2K and DRM company Denuvo have reportedly added new 14-day checks to certain games, as hackers claim Denuvo’s single-player protection has been fully cracked.Denuvo’s anti-tamper software has been the source of controversy for some time now, as some players believe it can have an adverse effect on PC game performance.At the end of last year, the game pirating community created a bypass which installs a driver at a PC’s kernel level, and can intercept and respond to Denuvo security checks.As a result, Tom’s Hardware reported earlier this month that Denuvo has essentially been blown open as a result of this,…
Starfield devs faced "a lot of pressure" to use Unreal Engine 5, former Bethesda artist says, but the Creation Engine won because of its modding capability
It seems Starfield could’ve been a watershed game for Bethesda beyond just being the studio’s first new IP in decades. According to a former developer on the RPG, serious consideration was given to changing engines on the production, before it was decided the team should stay on the well-worn Creation Engine.Heather Cerlan, now CEO and creative director at NEARstudios, but formerly an artist who worked on Starfield for several years, reveals as much in her recent conversation with Kiwi Talkz. “There was a lot of pressure internally to push to Unreal [Engine 5], especially when Nanite and Lumen and all…
Resident Evil Requiem devs explain Ada's absence, and remain coy on who Leon's mystery wife is
Leon Kennedy and Ada Wong are, categorically, Resident Evil’s most iconic pairing. While Resident Evil Requiem breathed fresh life into the hit horror game series with new addition Grace, who is excellent in her own right, the question remains: where is Ada? RE9 is as much a homage to the series’ past as it is a modern Resi experience, with plenty of nods littered throughout. Yet, by the time the credits rolled there was still no sign of RE2’s leading lady. Well, in a new interview with Japanese outlet denfaminicogamer, Game Director Koshi Nakanish and Producer Masato Kumazawa explain why…

As Diablo 4 Lord of Hatred gets off to a poor start with login issues, queues, and bugs, Blizzard promises to get the fixes out as fans lose patience
Diablo 4’s new Lord of Hatred DLC is here, but – perhaps to the surprise of no one – its initial launch hasn’t exactly been the smoothest.It didn’t take long after the DLC’s release for a telling statement to come from Blizzard on the official Diablo Twitter account. “We’re aware that some players are currently experiencing issues accessing Diablo 4: Lord of Hatred,” it said. “The team is actively investigating and working to resolve the issue as quickly as possible. We’ll share updates here as we have them.” And it only takes a quick glimpse at the likes of Reddit…
"We're just as impacted as everyone else": Valve explain Steam Machine delays and why the Steam Controller is coming out sooner
Ahead of the new Steam Controller release on May 4th, and shortly after I finished reviewing it (it’s good!), I sat down with Valve engineer Steve Cardinali and designer Lawrence Yang to discuss the Controller, the industry-upending RAM shortage it’s launching into, and delays to the Steam Machine that said disruption has caused. While no new Steam Machine pricing or release date specifics slipped from any errant lips, both Cardinali and Yang spelled out what previous Steam statements have always inferred: that even a company of Valve’s standing (and wealth) can’t get around the lack of vital components, nor the…
