В 2023 году культовая конференция E3 официально умерла, однако её организаторы из Entertainment Software Association не собираются прощаться с игровой индустрией.

Авторы описывают iicon как «объединение визионеров, лидеров мнений и новаторов из разных отраслей в области интерактивных развлечений».

С помощью iicon мы создаём площадку, где визионеры из разных отраслей могут объединяться, общаться и переосмысливать возможности интерактивных развлечений.

Первая в истории конференция iicon пройдёт в Лас-Вегасе с 27-го по 30 апреля 2026 года, а попасть туда можно только по приглашениям.

Обновлено: стоит учитывать, что на представленном сайте много страниц с неанонсированными и несуществующими играми, так что достоверность этой «утечки» остаётся под вопросом.

Оригинальный текст новости:Осенью 2023-го Konami выпустила Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol.1 — сборник переизданий первых трёх частей Metal Gear Solid для современных платформ.

Уже тогда цифра 1 в названии намекала, что в будущем игроков ждёт аналогичное обновление последующих игр культовой серии, однако за почти что полтора года Konami так ничего и не анонсировала.

Тем не менее существование второго тома косвенно подтвердилась благодаря преждевременно открытой страничке на сайте магазина Instant Gaming.

Соглас…

До релиза морского приключения Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii осталось всего две недели.

Завязка Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii такова:Горо Мадзиму, печально известного бывшего якудза, выбросило на берег отдалённого острова в Тихом океане.

Само собой, не обойдётся без морских сражений — обстреливайте неприятеля из пушек и наносите урон, чтобы взять судно на абордаж.

«Бешеный пёс» делает ставку на скорость и ловкость — вы будете наносить точные и мощные удары, оглушающие врагов.

Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii доплывёт до ПК (Steam), PlayStation и Xbox уже 21 февраля.

Они схожи лишь жанром и не более…Да, игра далеко не идеальная, есть некоторые сомнительные моменты, но по большей части в мелочах.

Коротко говоря, понятия не имею, что это за феномен с негативом вокруг игры, но Civilization VII пока что реально отличная часть франшизы.

Три варианта размера карты и две из них такие же маленькие, как и мой ♥♥♥.

Это было в 5 части, это было и в 6.

Respawn рассказала о 24-м сезоне Apex Legends, а также пояснила, какие действия предпринимает для борьбы с мошенниками и улучшения подбора в матчах.

«Нарушать статус-кво крупными изменениями в мете — наш приоритет в этом и будущем сезонах», — сообщил дизайн-директор Эван Николич (Evan Nikolich).

Также в студии пообещали поправить баланс буквально каждой пушки в Apex Legends.

Если верить статье от Respawn, после первых тестов инструмент продемонстрировал невероятную точность и низкий уровень ложных срабатываний.

Кроме того, начальное значение мастерства при первой игре в новом режиме будет зависеть от значения мастерства геймера в других режимах.

Death Stranding 2 получила возрастной рейтинг от южнокорейского агентства
Death Stranding 2 получила возрастной рейтинг от южнокорейского агентства Death Stranding 2 получила возрастной рейтинг от южнокорейского агентства

С мометна анонса Death Stranding 2: On The Beach прошло уже более двух лет, а разработчики так и не раскрыли точной даты выхода.

Судя по всему, это изменится в ближайшее время, так как игра получила возрастной рейтинг в Южной Корее.

Вероятно, новый ролик покажут на предполагаемой февральской презентации State of Play, которая, согласно сведениям инсайдеров, пройдёт уже на следующей неделе.

Вернёмся к рейтингу — в Южной Корее Death Stranding 2 выдали взрослый возрастной рейтинг за наличие чрезмерного насилия, нецензурной брани, а также сцен применения наркотических веществ, включая алкоголь.

Death Stranding 2: On The Beach пока заявлена только для PlayStation 5.

Сегодня же на сайте южнокорейского Комитета по рейтингу и администрированию игр обнаружили запись, посвящённую Death Stranding 2: On the Beach.

Напомним, Metal Gear Solid Delta готовится выйти на ПК (Steam), PlayStation 5 и Xbox Series с русскими субтитрами.

Ранний доступ Steam — это отличный инструмент, помогающий геймерам ознакомиться с играми пораньше, а разработчикам допилить проект с учётом обратной связи.

Предупреждение появится в секции с описанием особенностей раннего доступа и уточнит, как долго тайтл кукует без апдейтов.

Систему предупреждений только начали развёртывать и в ней встречаются огрехи.

Публика оценила нововведение и похвалила Valve, что та продолжает ставить геймеров на первое место.

При этом некоторые отметили, что предупреждение всё же стоило выделить посильнее, мол, сейчас текст практически сливается с остальной информацией.

Студия Iron Galaxy, ответственная за почившую королевскую битву Rumbleverse, сократила 66 сотрудников в командах, связанных с разработкой и поддержкой.

Как гласит заявление от компании, руководству пришлось пойти на такой шаг, чтобы «обеспечить долгосрочное выживание студии».

За последние годы Iron Galaxy не раз пришлось идти на жертвы, чтобы сохранить рабочие места.

Как гласит послание, данный шаг в компании рассматривали исключительно как самую крайнюю меру для удержания на плаву.

В Iron Galaxy также подчеркнули, что нацелены на продолжение сотрудничества с партнёрами.

Resident Evil Re:Verse, the multiplayer spin-off announced alongside Resident Evil Village, is being shut down.

"Resident Evil Re:Verse was developed in celebration of the 25th anniversary of the Resident Evil series, and your overwhelming support for the game has far exceeded our expectations since the time of its release.

"We are incredibly grateful for your warm support for Resident Evil Re:Verse, and we deeply apologize for bringing you this disappointing news."

Releasing a multiplayer spin-off no one wants, no one likes, then closing it down shortly thereafter is all very Capcom, bless 'em.

Rumours continue to swirl around a Resident Evil 9 announcement to happen sometime this year.

The minimum Nvidia GPU, for example, has dropped from the GTX 1660 Super to the standard GTX 1660, and you can supposedly get away with an Intel Core i5-10400 rather than the previously listed Core i5-10600.

Image credit: Rock Paper Shotgun/CapcomThis isn’t how frame generation is supposed to be used, at all.

With frame generation, the average rose to 45fps, but in an actual game-playing scenario that would feel crap because your controller or mouse/keyboard inputs are only registering for half the visible frames.

Which, again, puts it beyond the feasible help of frame generation.

Make that 110fps with frame gen too, though it doesn’t look like DLSS 4’s Multi Frame Generation is supported.

Sci-fi battle royale Apex Legends is due a "meaningful update" , according to the CEO of Electronic Arts, something he's called "Apex 2.0".

An Apex 2.0, if you will.

The Apex update "will probably happen after a Battlefield launch," he added.

Of course, none of that means Apex Legends is going anywhere.

When I learned that Respawn were developing a battle royale all those years ago, my first thought was: "God, not another one".

It's now slightly trickier to accidentally buy a 'dead' Steam early access game
It's now slightly trickier to accidentally buy a 'dead' Steam early access game It's now slightly trickier to accidentally buy a 'dead' Steam early access game

Steam early access games that haven't been updated in a long while will now be more prominently labelled as such, according to reports.

As noticed by third-party tracking platform SteamDB, Valve have begun adding warnings to early access info boxes, making it harder to accidentally spend your pocket money on a promising project that hasn't advanced in years.

I'm writing this up partly because I'm interested to know what you all consider too long an interval between early access updates.

My take is that the acceptability of a gap between early access update varies by the game or genre, and that I broadly subscribe to the Hooded Horse philosophy of let-devs-cook.

Eternal Strands review Eternal Strands review

Eternal Strands reviewDespite some janky controls and bland characters, this colourful tour through a ruined city is consistently surprising and enjoyable.

In Eternal Strands, Yellow Brick Games’ debut title, you play the leader of a "weaver band", a crew of freelance magicians, in a world where something extremely bad happened to magic.

The ice ability, too, acts as a way into the game’s elemental magic system.

It is arguably unfair to compare Eternal Strands’ telekinesis with Control’s apocalyptic rock throwing, or Half Life: Alyx’s razorwire tactility.

This review was based upon a release copy of the game provided by the developer.

Judging by that, Steam Deck OLED owners can likely expect a little over two hours.

Neither of these figures make Deliverance 2 an ideal Steam Deck game, but they’re not dealbreakers either, and in places it’s actually quite impressive how well its myriad interactions and interfaces adapt to the gamepad controls.

Vendrán Las Aves is a short free game about burnout from Red String Club developers Deconstructeam Vendrán Las Aves is a short free game about burnout from Red String Club developers Deconstructeam

Vendrán Las Aves - "The Birds Will Come" - is a brief, quiet, hopeful game about burnout recovery.

It's free to download from Itch.io, and takes the form of a snowglobe perspective of somebody's one-room apartment.

That said, it should of course be stressed that Vendrán Las Aves is not a mental health pamphlet.

I'm interested in the framing of this as a tamagotchi game - in practice, it reminded me more of Zoe Quinn's Depression Quest.

While I found Vendrán Las Aves to be a constructive, compassionate account of a low period in somebody's life, the association with virtual pets seems fraught and could be unpacked further, given that flesh-and-blood animals are often required to play the rol…

The sequel to the rootinest-tootinest gassiest-guzzlingiest racecar rasslin' game is launching into early access in March this year.

We can see a little bit of that in a new trailer below, which also gives us an exact early access release date.

I'm jazzed, even if it does look like the early access will be lighter on fun stuff than the previous game currently is.

As I said in my Space Engineers 2 review, early access sequels can be a hard sell when the previous game already does so much.

Recently the developers had to remove some of the game's features from its Steam page, because those features wouldn't actually be present in the early access version, and will come later.

I don't end up covering as many classic point and click adventures as I'd like on RPS.

That's a real shame, because every time I play a good one, I'm reminded how much magic the genre still has.

Developer Blyts (Kelvin And The Infamous Machine) was kind enough to send me over a key for Slender Threads, which is out this Friday.

"Every night it's the same dream: my own head, mounted on a wall," begins both the Steam description and the game's introduction.

Slender Threads isn't overwritten or grandiose, but there's something immediately engrossing about the cadence of it all.

Arrowhead just added new enemies, like the Impaler!

In past patches, seeing new threats emerge organically on the battlefield was a thrill.

Helldivers 2 is also in a somewhat unique situation; since propaganda from our in-game superiors is such a core part of the setting, it makes sense to have the game actively gaslight players about new enemies and updates.

As Helldivers 2 continues, I hope Arrowhead doesn’t shift to sharing upcoming surprises in blog posts and promotional materials.

I want to be absolutely shocked as these new enemies show up and turn my poor Helldiver into chunky salsa; it keeps things fresh.

The developers of Stalker 2, GSC Game World, released a massive 35-minute video to YouTube on Monday teasing the upcoming sequel of their beloved open-world shooter franchise.

In it, the Ukrainian team described how they leaned heavily into the authenticity of the experience.

That authenticity applies to the game’s real-world setting around the Chornobyl nuclear power plant.

STALKER 2 was originally expected on Sept. 5, but was delayed to Nov. 20.

The final game will be available on PC and Xbox Series X, where it will be included as part of the Xbox Game Pass program and available to all subscribers the day of its release.

Netflix wanted to be in on the One Piece business — so much so that not only are they just doing live-action One Piece (with season 2 currently in production), they’re also working with Wit Studio to remake the One Piece anime.

The One Piece, said forthcoming anime that was first announced in December last year, would be running concurrently with the still airing One Piece anime.

One Piece now means something different than One Piece then, and a new anime could add a bit of polish to those first chapters.

The creative team at Wit wants very badly to get everything just right, as the new behind-the-scenes look at The One Piece above shows.

So how exactly do they capture what “One Piece” real…

The best horror to watch on Netflix this August
The best horror to watch on Netflix this August The best horror to watch on Netflix this August

And there’s no better way to get ready than by throwing on a few horror movies just as the sun starts setting a little earlier.

Every month we pick out a few of the best horror movies that Netflix currently has to offer.

It’s also one of the most violent, creepiest, and most disturbing horror movies of the last decade, which certainly makes it worth a look.

All of this makes The Wailing a staggering, ridiculously ambitious horror movie, and unlike just about any other movie ever made.

Cave diving is dangerous enough under the best circumstances, but as you might expect, this particular group of caves is absolutely full of very scary sharks.

Almost 20 years in, World of Warcraft is the freshest it’s been in years — and it’s thanks to WoW Classic Almost 20 years in, World of Warcraft is the freshest it’s been in years — and it’s thanks to WoW Classic

And there can be no doubt about the source of the creative energy and good vibes: World of Warcraft Classic.

This was quickly masked the following year when World of Warcraft Classic drove a huge spike in popularity which was sustained by the pandemic gaming boom in 2020.

When he was speaking in March 2024, World of Warcraft subscriber numbers were higher than they had been at Dragonflight’s launch, and climbing.

But it was Classic updates, starting in August 2023, that prompted Hight’s graph to start trending upward.

There are currently no less than five ways to play WoW Classic: the original game, the Cataclysm expansion, Season of Discovery, and two Hardcore variants.

Krafton, the publisher behind PUBG: Battlegrounds and The Callisto Protocol, has acquired Tango Gameworks, the studio responsible for The Evil Within games and Hi-Fi Rush.

Tango was shuttered by Microsoft and ZeniMax Media in May, but the talent who formed the Tokyo-based studio will be integrated into Krafton, which now owns the rights to Hi-Fi Rush.

Hi-Fi Rush is available on PlayStation 5, Windows PC, and Xbox Series X.

Tango Gameworks became part of Xbox’s stable of studios when ZeniMax was acquired by Microsoft in 2021.

The studio found great critical success with Hi-Fi Rush in 2023.

Polygon: Was there a game soundtrack or song that inspired you to pursue creating game music?

In “Interrogation” [from Lorelei], I used the theme from “Woman on the Other Side”, another song from Lorelei and the Laser Eyes.

It was also inspired partly by Angelo Badalamenti’s walking baselines and slow jazzy drums in “Audrey’s Dance” from Twin Peaks.

Few things are better than settling down with a good book, but sometimes the settling is easier said than done.

For all those times, there’s no better place to turn than audiobooks.

All these options making picking your next audiobook a bit of a chore, but don’t worry, we’ve got you covered.

The dramatized audiobooks for A Court of Thorns and Roses are probably the most popular option — they’re cast with different voice actors for each character, and the audio-engineered foley sounds help you envision the scenes as they happen.

It’s a delicious listen even if you don’t have the right setting, of course.

Entrepreneurially minded The Sims 4 players are about to get a whole new set of options, courtesy of the new Businesses & Hobbies expansion - which'll enable the likes of player-run pet cafes and tattoo parlours when it launches on 6th March - depending what other DLC you own.

The Sims 4's Businesses & Hobbies Expansion Pack - the 18th major expansion since its release back in 2014 - is, as its name suggests, focused on two key areas.

And as for the type of small business players can run, that'll depend on the Sims 4 expansions and game packs they own.

However, if the idea of running a tattoo parlour or pottery shop doesn't appeal, Cats and Dogs expansion owners can open pet cafes, while th…

Roblox shares have dropped by 20 percent after the platform's reported daily active users fell short of analysts' estimates.

For the fourth quarter (ending 31st December), the number of daily active users fell by four percent to 85.3 million compared to the previous quarter, Bloomberg has reported.

Now, Guthrie has stated this last quarter was "the first full quarter where Türkiye has been off".

On a more positive note, in this quarter Roblox shared a record $281m with its game developers.

Back in 2021, a report by People Make Games accused Roblox of exploiting children as young developers.

Enter PS5 Pro.

While developer Arrowhead Game Studios hasn't announced a PS5 Pro enhancement, there's evidence the multiplayer shooter has indeed seen a substantial PS5 Pro bump.

Helldivers 2 looks significantly improved on PS5 Pro in performance mode when compared against its PS5 counterpart, with a number of image quality improvements.

Even on PS5 Pro, the same frame-pacing issues we saw at launch are present.

The PS5 Pro at least offers enough raw pixels to look decent enough, if not quite meeting the 4K60 standard many Pro titles aim for.

It will also seek to repair Xbox consoles, at nearly 700 participating store locations State-side.

"There is no organisation like an 'oidashi beya' at Bandai Namco Studios designed to pressure people to leave voluntarily."

Eurogamer has once again contacted Bandai Namco to confirm this latest loss of staff, but the company declined to comment.

The Japan-only MMORPG Blue Protocol was cancelled by Bandai Namco in August last year, ahead of its Amazon Games published worldwide release.

Next for Bandai Namco will be the network test for Elden Ring spin-off Nightreign later this month.

Former Dragon Age lead developers have reacted to the suggestion by publisher EA that the series' most recent entry would have sold better as a live-service game.

The remarks raised eyebrows among fans, not least because Dragon Age: The Veilguard previously pivoted to being a live-service game mid-way through its development, only for EA to see sense and revert it back after BioWare's actual live-service effort Anthem was a flop.

No, not a spin off: fundamentally change the DNA of what people loved about the core game' to me, I'd probably, like, quit that job or something."

Nightmare Kart is set to receive an expansion, despite a DMCA takedown from Sony against the developer's Bloodborne PSX demake.

Originally known as Bloodborne Kart, the racer is a spin-off from the Bloodborne PSX demake from fan developer Lilith Walther.

The name was changed to Nightmare Kart once Sony got involved and requested Walther "scrub the branding" from the game.

Earlier this week, a legal takedown was issued by MarkScan Enforcement against a YouTube video of Walther's Bloodborne PSX demake.

Bloodborne DLC The Old Hunters introduced Lady Maria, who's already paralleled in Nightmare Kart as Mistress Mary.

Avowed will include the option to play at 60fps on Xbox Series X, developer Obsidian has now confirmed, after previously saying the game's "core" 30fps option was a benefit.

Last year, art director Matt Hansen said Obsidian had decided to target 30fps as Avowed was a single-player game, and therefore "you don't necessarily need that 60fps".

Indeed, 30fps allowed Obsidian to "get a lot juicier with VFX and lighting", he continued.

"Avowed plays like a funny Obsidian role-player where you buddy up with the voice of Mass Effect's Garrus," I wrote after going hands-on with Avowed last year.

"If you're after a fresh Obsidian hit... Avowed is one to keep an eye on."

Set a few decades after Ender Lilies (but which you don't need to have played to appreciate this standalone adventure), Ender Magnolia: Bloom in the Mist begins in a very similar fashion.

Сервис SteamDB заметил, что в магазине Steam появилась новая функция.

На страницах игр в раннем доступе теперь можно увидеть предупреждение о том, что проект давно не получал обновлений.

В частности, на странице ролевого приключения Heartbound игроков предупреждают об отсутствии обновлений в течении 13 месяцев, тогда как в действительности последний патч для тайтла вышел меньше недели назад.

Какое количество времени должно пройти после выпуска патча, прежде чем Steam начнет предупреждать игроков — неизвестно.

В любом случае теперь у пользователей площадки больше шансов увидеть, продолжают ли разработчики трудиться над игрой или забросили ее.

Антимонопольный регулятор Китая готовится к расследованию в отношении Apple, пишет Bloomberg со ссылкой на знакомых с ситуацией людей.

По информации Bloomberg, власти Китая подозревают, что Apple вынудила разработчиков приложений платить слишком высокую комиссию — от 15% до 30% в зависимости от их уровня доходов.

Кроме того, антимонопольщики собираются оценить правомерность запрета на использование альтернативных платежных систем и мобильных сторов на iOS.

Bandai Namco has reportedly shed over a hundred staff between April 2024 and February 2025.

At the time, it was alleged 200 of its then 1300 employees have been moved into these "expulsion rooms" – or "oidashi beya" – and almost half of these have since voluntarily resigned.

Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny arrived in theaters back in 2023 and critical reception to the film was mixed.

Meanwhile, it ended up losing money for Disney even after it brought in over $380 million at the box office.

But as you might expect, the laidback star of the movie, Harrison Ford, doesn’t really seem to mind and is still happy that it got made.

The Blade Runner actor further explained that there won’t be a need for digital Harrison Fords because there will always be new actors in the future.

Arm CEO Rene Haas stressed earlier today that his firm continues to see tailwinds from AI demand.

The firm's shares dropped by more than 4% at market open today after investors sold the stock on worries about lower AI demand.

Arm CEO Stresses Demand For AI Products Will GrowHaas's comments about AI demand appeared to have a soothing effect on the stock as it reversed the trend and retook more than a percentage point of losses while he was talking.

NVIDIA's Blackwell chips are the "flagship product," within which "Blackwell is the GPU and Arm is the CPU," according to the ARM CEO.

He also commented on how DeepSeek demonstrating lower costs didn't mean that existing AI models had lost relevan…

NVIDIA Cuts GeForce RTX 4060 Supply By Up To 60% As The GPU Gets Close To EOL
NVIDIA Cuts GeForce RTX 4060 Supply By Up To 60% As The GPU Gets Close To EOL NVIDIA Cuts GeForce RTX 4060 Supply By Up To 60% As The GPU Gets Close To EOL

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 is soon going to disappear from the market and has already been cut into supply as per the latest reports.

If you remember, we reported that NVIDIA discontinued the GeForce RTX 4070 in January and there won't be another restock of RTX 4070 moving forwards.

This was the same leaker who reported that the RTX 4060 and RTX 4060 Ti would also reach the end of their lives in the first quarter.

Since NVIDIA discontinued the RTX 4070, which is most likely due to the RTX 5070 launch, the RTX 5060 Ti and RTX 5060 launch will also mark the end of the RTX 4060 Ti and 4060 GPUs.

It's rumored that the RTX 5060 Ti and RTX 5060 will be priced a bit higher than their predecessors.

The first step was identifying the right type of solitaire gameplay that would best align with the Candy Crush experience.”Unlike the suit-matching solitaire you might be familiar with – known as Klondike – a key change here is that Candy Crush Solitaire bases itself on another variant, known as TriPeaks.

These Creator Commissioners will create challenges based on their own Apex experiences, with fresh and unique items available to earn.

All of this, plus the addition of Legend updates and bold meta changes, we’ve planned quite the party this season.

Apex Legends: Takeover launches on February 11.

Work through five individual challenges to unlock a creator-selected Legendary weapon skin and the Apex Packs you chased in the first week.

You can purchase one per season per Legend in the in-game store, and it will also unlock the Legend if you haven’t already.

Baldur's Gate 3's Patch 8 is so big, it needed its own patch before it even released, and we're one step closer to a Permanent Booming Blade Economy Baldur's Gate 3's Patch 8 is so big, it needed its own patch before it even released, and we're one step closer to a Permanent Booming Blade Economy

Larian has published a blog post detailing an update to the Baldur's Gate 3 Patch 8, which isn't actually out yet and is still in stress testing.

The update fixes a number of crashes, bugs, and scripting errors introduced with all of Patch 8's changes, including some tweaks to Baldur's Gate 3's long-awaited crossplay.

I was surprised to see a balance change of this nature pushed out without any similar tweak to tune down the power on the new Booming Blade cantrip.

As it stands, Booming Blade is effectively a free Paladin smite that can be used as many times per turn as you can attack.

Even if Patch 8 goes live with Booming Blade war god Eldritch Knights, I'll still probably have my first ru…

Two things right off the start: No, this is not a reborn E3, and no, I didn't spell it wrong.

"It’s a natural role for ESA to host and support an event that fosters an open exchange of new ideas with our peer industry leaders.

"Iicon is bringing together changemakers from across industries to envision how the strengths of the interactive entertainment industry can break entirely new ground."

It doesn't sound like much fun in the way that E3 was, even in the days before the public was allowed to attend.

What makes less sense is it being held in Las Vegas just two months after DICE, another businessy, industry-only event.

Here's how to generate influence in Civ 7, and—more importantly—how to put it to good use:How do I get influence in Civilization 7?

Spending influence on City-StatesOne of the best ways to spend Influence, especially if you're playing as a leader like Tecumseh, is befriending City-States.

Declaring a Surprise War, for instance, will usually start you on the back foot in terms of War Support.

Both combatants can spend Influence to swing War Support to their side, but it gets more expensive every time.

EspionageEventually, you will gain the ability to spend Influence on Espionage actions, such as stealing technologies from another leader.

Haemimont Games has spent the last 25 years knocking out an impressive list of strategy and management romps, including corkers like Tropico 3-5, Surviving Mars and Jagged Alliance 3.

Announced today, Paradox has acquired all shares in Haemimont Games and now wholly owns it.

For Paradox, Haemimont feels like the opposite of a risky investment.

Though after its impressive handling of Jagged Alliance 3—the first good Jagged Alliance in a long, long time—I'd be just as keen to see it tackle another tactics game.

We'll have to wait and see, since it's yet to announce its first project as a Paradox studio.

I wasn't exactly angry that the rights-holders of Disco Elysium were selling a $165 shopping bag made of a trademarked stronger-than-Kevlar material.

Isn't this kind of hip poverty-chic stuff—the kind of thing very well-to-do students dress up in for a bourgeois jape—exactly what Disco Elysium spends a lot of time making fun of?

So says former ZA/UM dev and Disco Elysium writer Dora Klindžić in a chat with YouTuber The 41st Precinct (via RPS): "This is an incredibly successful business for [ZA/UM], incredibly successful" said Klindžić.

Will that extend to a pricey shopping bag?

Ultimately, of course, whether or not you buy an expensive shopping bag isn't really a great moral question.

Eight months into the brave new world of Windows on ARM, and this is the state of play for PC gaming outside of the x86 arena Eight months into the brave new world of Windows on ARM, and this is the state of play for PC gaming outside of the x86 arena

Companies like Cyrix, VIA and even Fujitsu have produced x86 chips too, but when it comes down to home-use gaming PCs in the 21st century, there have only been two horses in this town.

Prior to launch, Qualcomm had been bizarrely bullish about the platforms PC gaming performance, with claims that native Windows games would "just work" on the Snapdragon setup.

It's a common Intel integrated graphics unit for laptops, though ours is actually inside a mini desktop PC.

As an additional test of the hardware and the Qualcomm chip's compatibility, the Hitman test was run in both DirectX 11 and 12.

This is where things fall down for the Qualcomm chips, then.

It's 2025 and somehow we've still yet to see a Twitch stream happening from space—until next week, that is.

NASA has announced it'll be doing a livestream a whole 250 miles from Earth aboard the International Space Station, on Wednesday 12 February.

I'm all for cool stuff like this happening on social and streaming platforms, and I'm sure NASA has already calculated the positive exposure it'll have on their end.

Especially if I'd just so happened to very recently proclaim my desires to stream from space, only to have Big Space itself do it first.

That means that you'll need the sold separately Deckmate grip before you can even attempt to strap your Steam Deck onto your GoPro harness.

Furthermore, just because you can attach a GoPro accessory to your Steam Deck doesn't mean it will be able to support the weight.

We've seen this in Meteor Lake, Lunar Lake, and Arrow Lake.

Gelsinger, as an engineer himself, sought to push into the manufacturing and fabrication side of the business to try to turn things around.

EA's CEO, Andrew Wilson, recently voiced some bizarre criticism of Dragon Age: The Veilguard during a quarterly financial call.

He suggested that the game struggled because it didn't have any live service components.

I'm not sure any amount of live service elements could've saved this game from the poor writing, pacing, and lackluster companions.

It seems that a few former Dragon Age developers agree with this sentiment that live service is not the right move.

"Look, I'm not a fancy CEO guy," former Dragon Age creative director Mike Laidlaw says (via Eurogamer).

As he puts it, EA thinks about Apex in terms of in decades rather than years.

"What I think we've demonstrated as a company is an ability to build franchises that last 10, 20, 30 years."

That's also bad news for fans of what EA's CFO calls "blockbuster storytelling," with Dragon Age: Tthe Veilguard's underperformance a major area of focus.

"Dragon Age had a high quality launch and was well-reviewed by critics and those who played; however, it did not resonate with a broad-enough audience in this highly competitive market."

Bandai Namco Studios Has Reportedly Reduced Its Staff By Over 100 People Bandai Namco Studios Has Reportedly Reduced Its Staff By Over 100 People

Bandai Namco Studios has reportedly reduced its staff by more than 100 people within the last year, as reported by Automaton.

This news comes after reports in 2024 that Bandai Namco had cancelled a number of projects, including one commissioned by Nintendo.

According to the initial article from Bloomberg, the company had allegedly used 'oidashibeya' – expulsion rooms – to pressure 200 employees into voluntary resignation.

Although this is supposedly a traditional Japanese approach to reducing staff numbers, Bandai Namco denied that this was the case.

It remains to be seen, then, whether the 100+ employees who have now left had done so "willingly", or were let go with severance.

There are a few new additions this week, with Black Myth: Wukong getting a physical release on the PS5, and the delightfully titled Cardfight!!

Nippon Ichi Software's Phantom Brave: The Lost Hero also just managed to scrape though to land at number nine.

PlayStation managed to shift 10,173 units, while the Xbox continues to lag behind with just 3,070.

Just look at that difference between the Switch OLED and the Switch Lite, though.

Shout-out to the 19 folks who bought a PS4, too (or perhaps just one person bought 19 PS4s - who knows!).

Opinion: All My Pokémon TCG Pocket Headaches Help It Nail Playground Trading Nostalgia Opinion: All My Pokémon TCG Pocket Headaches Help It Nail Playground Trading Nostalgia

I am a creature of habit, so when The Pokémon Company revealed Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket and its two-packs-a-day hook system, I knew that I was going to be a sucker for it.

Trading is a nightmare in TCG Pocket.

You can't tell me that such theories wouldn't have set the playground collecting scene on fire back in the day.

Look, it's very easy to sit and pick holes in Pokémon TCG Pocket and for the past three months, I (and others at Nintendo Life) have been doing just that.

Is Pokémon TCG Pocket taking you back to the old days of card collecting, or is this something new and totally different?

We're Getting Serious 'The Witness' Vibes From This Upcoming Open-World Puzzler
We're Getting Serious 'The Witness' Vibes From This Upcoming Open-World Puzzler We're Getting Serious 'The Witness' Vibes From This Upcoming Open-World Puzzler

Taiji is another one that we'd bundle into this group, a 2D open-world puzzler that arrives on the eShop on 25th February.

This is a game where you explore a mysterious world, solving a series of grid-based puzzles as you go.

Taiji switches The Witness' first-person perspective to a top-down, 2D pixel art, but the answers-hidden-in-plain-sight approach is all still present and correct.

Unlike many adventure games, the puzzles in Taiji all use a consistent interface: a grid of tiles which can be toggled on or off.

Although this might seem simple, the consistency of the interface frees the player from guesswork or pixel hunting that happens in many adventure games.

If visiting Super Nintendo World at Universal Studios Japan wasn't enough Mario for you, you can now rent an Alarmo for the night at some of the park's hotels so you can even have Nintendo on the mind while you sleep.

In a post on Nintendo's Japanese website, the company revealed that it was partnering with Universal Studios to bring Alarmo rentals to seven different hotels.

The rental package includes an Alarmo and an AC adapter for plugging it in, both of which can be collected from the hotel reception desk, the post claims.

The announcement doesn't specify how much an Alarmo rental will cost, but we'd have to imagine it's cheaper than the clock's usual £89.99 price tag, right?

Now if you haven't had the chance to try it yet you can do so right as Doodle Jump 2+ comes to Apple Arcade!

Doodle Jump is simple, deceptively so.

Functionally, it's not that different from the original (a great platformer in its own right) but in Doodle Jump 2 you'll have access to a whole new suite of worlds to explore.

With its numerous spin-offs and pedigree on mobile, although Doodle Jump may not have become the flagship release of some world-spanning studio, I think it has a fond place in the hearts of many players.

Admittedly, it's a long time for it to be coming to mobile, with Doodle Jump 2 having launched all the way back in 2020, but it's better late than never, right?

Hands-On: The Roto VR Explorer Chair Turns You In VR
Hands-On: The Roto VR Explorer Chair Turns You In VR Hands-On: The Roto VR Explorer Chair Turns You In VR

The Roto VR Explorer attempts to change the way you engage with VR experiences by using motorized 360-degrees spinning motion and haptic feedback.
