Since the release of CS2 back in 2023, Valve has been remastering classic Counter-Strike maps for the new game, giving them fresh coats of paint and adjusting how they play. Now, we’re getting our first look at the new version of Cache, with Valve giving us a sneak peek at T-side spawn. Cache is one of Counter-Strike’s most iconic maps, but it was removed from the active map pool in 2019. Since then, fans of the legendary FPS game have been clamoring for its return, but Valve has stayed silent on the matter until now. It’s been almost a year…

Martin Scorsese is heading to a galaxy far, far away in new Star Wars movie The Mandalorian and Grogu. He’s playing an Ardennian who owns a food truck – and according to director Jon Favreau, he brought a lot of improv to the role.”He did a lot of improv, he was just a lot of fun,” Favreau told Fandango. “It’s interesting because when the director is on their set, they’re running the show, but I find when directors are on other people’s sets, they just want to play and have fun, and he just had a great time. It was…

Xbox is reportedly considering a new model for its Game Pass subscription, allowing you to dictate how much you pay for the service by selecting specific features and content packages, and removing ones you’re not interested in. That would mean that, if you subscribed to Game Pass Ultimate but didn’t want to pay for Fortnite Crew or access to Xbox Cloud Gaming, you could simply remove them from your package and reduce the monthly cost. The report also suggests that Xbox could tie in other subscriptions and perks that you would be able to select instead, such as signing up…
Crimson Desert has received a new update which adds difficulty levels among other new features.Version 1.04 is rolling out now on PC, PlayStation and Xbox, with a Mac release coming “at a later time”.The main new addition is Easy, Normal and Hard difficulty options, for players who want to make their journey less or more challenging.Easy mode reduces the amount of damage taken by the player, increases the timing windows for parries and dodges, and makes enemies slower, weaker and less aggressive.Hard mode, meanwhile, does the opposite of this, as well as reducing the length of time rolling makes players…
Crimson Desert’s new patch is also the game’s biggest update so far, bringing difficulty modes and house layouts into the already mammoth adventure, but the long list of improvements pales in comparison to one bug-turned-feature: Cats can now perch on your shoulder for longer.Developer Pearl Abyss today released Crimson Desert’s 1.04.00 patch, one that marketing director Will Powers says is the game’s “largest update yet,” and it’s not hard to see why. The new patch is almost as excessively big as the game itself.Difficulty modes are easily the patch’s headlining feature as players can now choose between Easy, Normal, and…
Flash storage prices bad – I get it. You don’t need me to keep wittering on to prove how iffy things have been in recent months, although with RAM prices lowering and some ‘deals’ beginning to emerge again, there may be some light at the end of the tunnel. Thus, Exhibit A – this 512GB SanDisk Ultra MicroSD card is £50 on Amazon. Okay, okay, yes, you could pick these up for £30-£40 last year, I admit, but this is the best price this card has been since January, where it’s otherwise between £75 and £80.

Making a sequel like Slay the Spire 2 is a difficult thing. Being a roguelike deckbuilder, there are a lot of mechanical considerations, such as what should change and be expanded versus what should stay the same. Casey Yano, co-creator of the first game and co-founder of studio Mega Crit Games, actually valued an approach closer to FromSoftware’s, until playtesters told him otherwise.”We did mess around with, like, what percentage of the card pool should be different for returning characters. At first, it was less,” he explains in an interview with Edge magazine. This logic stems from the Dark Souls…
