Far from ushering in a technological golden age, artificial intelligence is giving PC hardware its most trying time in years. As huge, hyper-rich tech companies go about building resource-intensive AI data centres in pursuit of future wealth, the resulting memory chip shortages have detonated consumer-level pricing for RAM modules, graphics cards, SSDs, and even ancient hard drives. Doubling or tripling street-level outlays without harming sales would, you’d think, make a lot of gaming gear makers – especially their accounting departments – very happy indeed. But as those chips have become a scarce commodity at the supplier level, even the bigger…
I’m desperate to get my hands on Crimson Desert. The new open-world game is looking absolutely packed, bringing together dynamic, flowing combat that has exhilarated me in multiple previews and a vast land filled with an impressive array of activities and pursuits. But is it an RPG? Developer Pearl Abyss doesn’t think so, and is careful not to call it one, although director of marketing Will Powers acknowledges that there are certainly reasons why you might. This discussion was raised recently during a special Crimson Desert preview segment on the Dropped Frames podcast, where Powers admitted that the team has…

A pretty big hint was provided by one of the action-RPG’s lead devs, who gave an update on how it’s going in just about the most direct way possible.Thomas Mahler, creative director of No Rest for the Wicked and CEO of developer Moon Studios, shared a now-deleted clip on Twitter of the game running on Nintendo’s latest console, since reposted on Reddit. This isn’t a mere screen capture, but actual candid footage of him playing a live version on the Switch…
I’ve been shying away from The Killing Stone because it’s a deckbuilding card battler, and we do get a lot of emails about those. The game launches into Steam early access today, so it’s time to have a proper gander. Ho now! This is a deckbuilding card battler… set in a mansion somewhere in the Arctic during the 17th century… created by Question Games, developers of ‘unfinished game’ game The Magic Circle and weird suburbia sim The Blackout Club. Yes, the same Question who were founded by people who worked on Bioshock, Thief and Dishonored. What’s more, The…
What rewards are in the Overwatch battle pass? The launch of a new Overwatch season brings about a fresh battle pass to work through, offering rewards in the form of loot boxes, skins, and much more. You don’t have to pay for the battle pass to earn rewards, but if you do, the rewards on offer are considerably better than what you get for free. The Overwatch skins offered in the battle pass can’t be purchased in the shop; if you don’t earn them in the battle pass, you will miss out on them forever. Join us as we break…

Ironically, considering the rampant dysentery moving through my campground in brown, sputtering waves, the problem I’m facing in Transport Fever 3 is a blockage. The trucks I’ve loaded with antibiotics are stuck in a traffic jam that stretches all the way to the pharmacy in the next city over. If I’m to save the inaugural Woodstock festival, I must find a way to get traffic flowing again before the timer runs out.
Crusader Kings 3 developer Paradox Black is in the midst of working on a big ‘spring cleaning’ update, and it’s turned to modders for some assistance. Riad Deneche, QA manager at the Crusader Kings 3 studio, explains that the focus of its upcoming patch is “tackling bugs that have been haunting our backlog, and introducing a set of changes and smaller features that we believe will meaningfully enhance the CK3 experience.” In service of this, it’s calling upon one mysterious, upstanding member of the community to help – and Deneche says the team was “genuinely shocked” by their list of…
The Cyborgs are attacking in Helldivers 2. Do you understand what a threat to freedom they are? They’ll turn us into meat puppets in their endless pursuit for power. They must be stopped and – defection? What? Now. No way. Not if you want to keep that goldfish, anyway.This is the reaction at least one player apparently got when they contacted Helldivers 2’s dedicated support staff about jumping sides to join the Automaton empire. As one person found out, the response is swift, cynical, and wholly justified in the defense of Super Earth.”Your dissidence against Super Earth has been noted,…
