This is proving to be one of the worst weeks of my life, for various reasons (no, not because Jason Schreier is mad at me). In my time of need, I open the magic portal of escapism and find Pathologic 3 looking back at me like a poison toad.
Where Winds Meet update 1.2 has just dropped, and there’s a whole lot to look forward to in what ended up becoming one of last year’s breakout open-world games. From a gorgeous new boss encounter to events including Guild Battles and granny-carrying in the First Jianghu Martial Games, you’ll be finding fresh things to do across the map. There’s so much that’s been introduced, in fact, that some of the changes I’m most excited for didn’t even make the cut in developer Everstone Studio’s latest patch notes, including the ability to properly analyze your DPS and see exactly what’s working…

Baldur’s Gate 3 and Divinity director Swen Vincke has announced his studio will no longer use generative AI for any aspect of concept art development.In the Divinity AMA running today, Vincke said that “there is not going to be any GenAI art in Divinity.” Previously, the studio had attempted to clarify that no concept art was generated using generative AI tech, but now, it has also confirmed that “we’ve decided to refrain from using genAI tools during concept art development. That way there can be no discussion about the origin of the art.”Vincke says the studio will continue to assess…
Manor Lords and Terra Invicta publishers Hooded Horse are imposing a strict ban on generative AI assets in their games, with company co-founder Tim Bender describing it as an “ethics issue” and “a very frustrating thing to have to worry about”. “I fucking hate gen AI art and it has made my life more difficult in many ways… suddenly it infests shit in a way it shouldn’t,” Bender told Kotaku in a recent interview. “It is now written into our contracts if we’re publishing the game, ‘no fucking AI assets.’” I assume that’s not a verbatim quote, but I’d love…
If you ask me to name the game I’m most excited for this year, there’s a 50/50 chance I’ll say either Slay the Spire 2 or Crimson Desert. I’ve had the opportunity to play the stunning new open-world action RPG from Pearl Abyss several times now, and have always come away desperate for more time to wrap my head around its combat nuances. It’s a big project, feeling rather like The Witcher 3 but with way more high-octane combat. During the New Game+ showcase, director of PR Will Powers from Pearl Abyss revealed just how large its world is, and…
Executive producer of The Division series and Star Wars Outlaws creative director, Julian Gerighty, has claimed that The Division 3 will have “as big an impact as The Division 1.”Gerighty, who returned to The Division franchise in 2023 with the announcement of the third game in the series, has described the game as a “monster.”Speaking as part of the New Game+ Showcase, Gerighty said that while he can’t share much on the project that’s currently in development at Ubisoft‘s Massive Entertainment, he’s excited about it.“The Division 3 is in production, right? This is not a secret; it’s been announced. It’s…

The regular modpocalypses which tend to erupt when a fresh update for a game comes down the pipeline – an especially terrifying prospect if it’s an older game and the tweaks/additions aren’t something you’re happy to temporarily switch back to vanilladom in order to enjoy – may now be less of a ballache. Well, at least when it comes to the Steam Workshop, which has just had new version control pipes welded to its pulsating metal frame.
If you’re in need of a monitor upgrade to step up your shooter game, especially for titles such as Apex Legends, CS2, Fortnite, and Valorant, this Asus gaming monitor deal is perfect for you. With a 380Hz refresh rate, it has a solid foundation of speed, but the secret sauce with this display is the inclusion of ELMB-Sync. This Asus-exclusive tech quickly flashes the LCD panel’s backlight on and off to reduce the effect of eye-tracking motion blur. It works really well and is ideal paired with this fast but otherwise simple and affordable display. Asus is no stranger to…
