Warframe creative director Rebb Ford and design director Pablo Alonso joined Destiny 2 fans mourning the game following the end of development announced last week by Bungie.Though Warframe actually predates Destiny, the two games have long been compared as giants of the loosely defined, live-service, looter-shooter space, and they have shared many players. Ford and Alonso, like many others at developer Digital Extremes, were clearly big fans of Destiny and are sad to see it go.Rebb relates her history with Bungie’s work, going back to playing Halo 3 at 16. “There is no Warframe without the legacy of Bungie games,”…
For people who don’t play city builders, it may be easy to look at them as something mechanical and bureaucratic. Grids of streets, well-ordered manufacturing production lines, and carefully tailored catchment areas to ensure residential zones will efficiently staff nearby businesses, don’t scream the stuff of life. Though, play enough of them and you will often see there can be a good deal of living going on at street level. Zoom in close on Cities: Skylines and you can follow people as they travel to work, hover over your town in Anno 1800 and you watch the carts take goods…
If you’re looking to make a serious CPU upgrade, right now is a great time to buy either the AMD Ryzen 7 9850X3D or Ryzen 7 9800X3D. In the last few weeks, prices for AMD’s flagship gaming CPUs have steadily dropped, making them both nearly the lowest price they’ve ever been. The 9850X3D is the single best gaming CPU around at the moment, and has only been available for three months. However, despite that, it has already seen its price drop significantly, with it currently $41, or 8%, cheaper than at launch. AMD’s latest is still a pricey option, but…

A random Twitter post from original Final Fantasy creator Hironobu Sakaguchi has stowed away on my brain for days now, and I’m writing this in an attempt to excise it. Sakaguchi appears to be playing through the Elden Ring DLC Shadow of the Erdtree, and he’s doing so with impeccable fashion.On May 15, Sakaguchi shared two images of what seems to be his own custom character exploring Shadow of the Erdtree. (He regularly chronicles his travels in games, more recently including Ghost of Yotei.) A few things stand out. Firstly, Sakaguchi would pass the Fashion Souls examination. With Blaidd’s wolf…
With all of the iconic horror villains Dead by Daylight has featured over the years, the one character’s absence has stuck out like a bit of a sore thumb: Jason Voorhees of Friday the 13th fame. That’ll be in no small part due to the fact that the horror series was in licence limbo for many years, resulting in the amusing fact that Nicolas Cage (National Treasure, Ghost Rider) made it in before Jason did. But now, as we await his own game, Mr. Voorhees is coming to Debbie Daylight, and you can currently try him out on the…
May 26, 9:05am PDT: Epic Games has clarified to PCGamesN that the artwork was supplied by Porsche, and that the imagery was not used in Fortnite or the configurator, but was purely created to illustrate the configurator concept. Hey, it’s me, the guy that yammers on about how awful gen AI art is all the time. Well, I’m back, and this time Porsche has fallen foul of the controversial practice. Recently, Porsche teamed up with Epic Games to bring a Fortnite-themed background to its on-site car configurator, which runs on Unreal Engine. It’s actually a pretty fun collab, and it certainly…

We’re back on the high seas for Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced this coming July, putting us back in the boots of one Edward Kearney in his quest for treasure. Naturally, he gets to do all the killing you’ve come to expect, but he’s not quite the hero prior protagonists are, at least at the start, and the devs worked to enhance those aspects of his journey.Indeed, when Black Flag kicks off, Edward’s doing it all for the money, never mind to defeat the Templars, but over the course of the game, he becomes more like his forebears in Desmond…
