Технология производства транзисторов с вертикальными затворами FinFET лежит в основе большинства процессоров Intel с 2011 года. Однако владелец оригинального патента, Институт микроэлектроники Китайской академии наук (IMECAS), подал на компанию иск о нарушении прав в 2018 году.

Актёр считает, что шоу не разочарует своих фанатов.

Respawn говорит, что фикс выйдет только 22 сентября.

В ночь на 20 сентября в США прошла 73-я церемония вручения наград «Эмми» за сериалы и передачи. Телевизионная академия ограничила количество зрителей до 600 из-за пандемии, и их пускали только по сертификату вакцинации или отрицательному ПЦР-тесту.

Одну из новостей о неподтверждённом проекте «лайкнул» официальный аккаунт студии в Твиттере.

В прокат вышел фильм «Узники страны призраков», который сам исполнитель главной роли Николас Кейдж назвал самым безумным в своей карьере. По этому случаю мы составили рейтинг его самых диких актёрских работ.

В следующем месяце прекрасной Dead Space исполнится 13 лет. Несмотря на возраст, она до сих пор по-настоящему пугает и восхищает. Мы попытались разобраться, какими способами разработчики добились такой густой атмосферы и красивых видов, на какие ухищрения пошли ради быстрых переходов между локациями, и, наконец, откуда появилась Николь перед финальными титрами. • Комментарии и обсуждения — https://stopgame.ru/show/121987/vse_sekrety_dead_space_za_kadrom

Последняя часть Yakuza: Like a Dragon перевела серию на jRPG-шные рельсы. Разработчики заявили, что и в дальнейшем будут придерживаться данного жанра. Такие новости могут огорчить часть поклонников, но сильно печалиться им не стоит, ведь спин-офф Judgment и его сиквел Lost Judgment продолжают придерживаться механики Beat 'em up.

Видеоигры часто подводят нас к сложным (или не очень) моральным решениям.

В играх это особенно легко реализовать: сюжет просто не движется дальше, пока вы не совершите выбор.

В последующих экспериментах (особенно не мыслительных) начали не только оставлять на выбор 20—40 секунд, но и собирать статистику скорости принятия решения.

Например, в Prey есть ачивка «Столкнуть толстяка» и этот же вопрос есть в тесте в самом начале.

Выглядит довольно реалистично, хотя и не без элемента комедии.

В июне была анонсирована новая часть серии Painkiller — мясного шутера, впервые порадовавшего игроков в далёком 2004-м. Увы, с тех пор франшиза уже и не радовала: игру втянуло в водоворот кошмарных аддонов, и из самобытного проекта Painkiller быстро докатилась до клише «типичного польского шутера». Впрочем, сегодня нас интересует то, что сделало оригинал таким необычным и в итоге позволило People Can Fly обрести статус студии с мировым именем. • Комментарии и обсуждения — https://stopgame.ru/show/121937/painkiller_bezumno_slomannaya_igra

Фанаты давно ждали кооперативную игру во вселенной «Чужих».

Lawrence Kasdan, the co-writer on both Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi, is directing a new six-part docuseries on George Lucas and ILM.

Howard Shore, the Oscar-winning composer behind Peter Jackson's The Lord of the Rings films, is said to be in talks to return to Middle-earth for the new Amazon series.

Bungie has added matchmaking assistance to Destiny 2's Trials of Osiris mode to make it more welcoming for a wider range of players, but it hasn't launched without its own fair share of controversy.

Despite Deltarune: Chapter 2 being released by itself, series creator Toby Fox has said that his goal is to have Chapters 3, 4, and 5 arrive at the same time.

We spoke to Disney's Rebecca Campbell about the streaming platform's impressive 71 Emmy nominations in 2021, and the importance of original content.

Some games are inspired by the developer's deep, personal experiences. Others are sparked by real-world events, or love of other media. For Skatebird developer Megan Fox, it all began with a gif of a bird on a skateboard.

The Sunday Papers is our weekly roundup of great writing about (mostly) videogames from across the web.

Over on the Washington Post, Jack Yarwood wrote about working on video games and not appearing in the credits.

For Polygon, Adam Arter wrote about Wario Land 4's sound room and how it still haunts them 20 years later.

The game’s sound room, however, is where the audio experience of Wario Land 4 takes a turn for the weird.

There are 16 entirely new tracks in the sound room, which are unlocked by finding discs hidden within secret passages in each of the levels.

Every Story Of Seasons game starts the same way, with a young person fleeing the big city for a more relaxing and simple life.

Story Of Seasons: Pioneers Of Olive Town repeats the myth, though I admit its pastoral greens and funny hats make a strong argument for country living.

Here's a Steam launch trailer:Pioneers Of Olive Town launched on Switch earlier this year, and if you've ever played a Story Of Seasons game before you know what to expect.

If this all sounds familiar from a different game, that's probably because Story Of Seasons is the ancestral inspiration for farming juggernaut Stardew Valley.

But it has its own distinct charms and Olive Town has been well received, with reviews …

Tharsis is a turn-based spaceship management game where your ability to deal with a Sandra Bullock of disasters is determined by a dice roll.

Alec once sung its praises while calling it "cruel as hell" - and it's one of this week's free games from the Epic Games Store.

The central dilemma at the heart of Tharsis is what your crew should be doing in any given moment.

Because, after learning the game well, once in a while one or two of your crew might survive all ten turns.

You can grab it from the Epic Games Store until September 23rd at 4pm and keep it forever.

EA have detailed how FIFA Ultimate Team is changing for FIFA 22 when it launches on September 26th.

In reality, FIFA Ultimate Team has at the centre of several government's efforts to crack down on gambling among children in online games.

In 2018, sixteen gambling regulators united to issue a warning about loot boxes and digital football cards.

EA also had to stop selling Ultimate Team cards in Belgium in 2019 after the country's gambling commission ruled that loot boxes in some games constituted illegal gambling.

If players decide not to buy the pack, a refresh timer starts until players are able to peek inside another pack of the same type.

The latest development diary post for Victoria III talks in detail about how Paradox's empire builder will deal with the topic of slavery.

"For Victoria 3, we don’t think these options work for us for two main reasons."

Paradox then dive into detail about how the game's different systems engage with slavery.

Nations can also enact slavery laws, permitting the slave trade, debt slavery, abolishing slavery outright, or allowing "Legacy Slavery", where the slave trade is illegal but not abolished entirely.

Whether Victoria III succeeds, I'm glad it's still trying.

You're probably indoors playing video games anyway, so what does it matter to you?

Tell me: what are you playing this weekend?

NJPW's G1 Climax starts this weekend, so I'll probably watch that when I'm not kicking lads up the hole, too.

"Monsters And Mamas" adds the game's first alternate playable character, letting you choose to ascend the mountain as vetern stonegrinder Jorja, pictured above.

There's also a new Boss Blitz mode, new rewards, and a high-contrast accessibility feature for the colourblind.

Here's a trailer to introduce the update:Jorja seems to be a cosmetic change, and is able to equip any unlocked gear you've earned as original playable character, her grandson Jorj.

The existing Daily Grind mode has also been revised so it now offers rewards for players who complete runs.

Lastly, there's the High Contrast Mode, which highlights enemies based on your current chain colour, and enemies which have entered the …

Crysis Remastered landed on the Epic Games Store last year, and the Crysis Trilogy Remastered will similarly don its freshly dry-cleaned nanosuits for Epic's store on October 15th.

But as of today, you can also grab Crysis Remastered from Steam.

Crysis Remastered is what the name suggests: the original 2006 first-person shooter with a daub of 4K and 8K paint applied on top.

This is a problem considering that the original Crysis was a graphical powerhouse in 2006 and still looks pretty good today.

Crysis Remastered - and probably the forthcoming Trilogy - are more interesting for bringing the games to new consoles, rather than for us with PCs and long memories.

Hello, the 90s are calling and they'd like to offer you sequels to games you've probably forgotten about.

Outcast 2: A New Beginning is the newly announced follow-up to 1999's Outcast.

THQ Nordic bought the rights to Outcast from the game's creators back in January 2019.

The sequel is being developed by Appeal Studios, and during a press event they said the new team has a number of developers who worked on the original game 22 years ago, including the game director and composer.

Alas, according to Alyse Stanley's Outcast: Second Contact review, it wasn't a particularly welcoming experience for new players.

It's being developed by Haemimont Games, who are best known for several Tropico games or most recently citybuilder Surviving Mars.

It sounds as if the basic structure is following the traditions of Jagged Alliance 2.

Brad Logston, senior producer at THQ Nordic, explained that the game started when Haemimont pitched a different Jagged Alliance game to the publisher.

Logston also acknowledged that most the modern Jagged Alliance games over the past twenty years haven't been well-liked.

On that front he namechecked Darius Kazemi's book on Jagged Alliance 2, calling it required reading for the development team.

Destroy All Humans 2: Reprobed has been announced.

Reprobed follows in the footsteps of last year's remake of the first Destroy All Humans, and comes from the same developer, Black Forest Games.

The game was announced seemingly by accident the PlayStation Twitter account earlier this week, and the trailer remained online.

Destroy All Humans 2 took place ten years after the first game, shifting into the '60s, and let players travel through fictional versions of San Francisco, London, Tokyo and ultimately the moon.

I was never the biggest fan of the Destroy All Humans games back in the day.

Dead Cells has received yet another update, named Practice Makes Perfect, which adds a training area, powerful buffs called Aspects, and other more.

The biggest addition in Practice Makes Perfect is the Training Room.

You can also choose between different biome presets to set the perfect mood before you slay countless creatures.

Aspects are another way Dead Cells is becoming more accessible to newcomers, without changing the game for those who love challenge.

Brendan's Dead Cells review in 2018 remarked that "every little fracas is a trial of quickness, luck and body memory, and it feels superb."

Though Netflix has dominated audience viewership over the last decade, the streamer has never had the muscle to crack the Emmys’ major categories.

That changed on Sunday night, when the 2021 Emmy Awards wrapped up with a one-two Netflix punch of The Crown and The Queen’s Gambit.

After sweeping writing, directing, and acting categories, The Crown season 4 took home the award for Outstanding Drama.

The 2010’s saw Mad Men and Game of Thrones locking up the category season after season, with occasional breakthroughs from top-quality underdogs like Homeland, Breaking Bad, and The Handmaid’s Tale.

Even after Game of Thrones final season, HBO came back swinging with Succession.

Michaela Coel won an Emmy for Best Writing in a Television Limited Series or Movie, for her work on HBO and BBC’s I May Destroy You.

In addition to writing, Coel also created, produced, directed, and starred in the series.

Also up for the award last night were Mare of Eastown, The Queen’s Gambit, and three episodes of WandaVision.

I May Destroy You follows a young writer struggling with the aftermath of a sexual assault and is inspired by Coel’s own experiences.

Coel was also nominated for Best Actress in a Limited Series or Movie.

Does that mean the quality of shows has gone up?

Perhaps — but that’s why we have the Emmys to judge the best in television, from uplifting sports comedies to prestige dramas, from action-packed superhero shows to sweeping Regency romances.

Here are all of this year’s Emmy winners, celebrating excellence in television.

(We’ll continue to update the list throughout the night.)

With the release of Netflix’s Nightbooks, the new David Yarovesky-directed children’s horror fantasy starring Winslow Fegley and Krysten Ritter, now’s as perfect a time as any to snuggle up on the couch and settle in for a marathon of spooky, but not too scary, movies.

Children’s horror stories are vital part of any childhood.

With that in mind, we’ve assembled a list of 15 of the best children’s horror movies available to stream and rent from home.

The 1991 live-action Addams Family movie delivers on this promise.

Disney’s 1949 animated feature The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad is essentially an ideal children’s horror film: one that offers equal amounts of spooky iconic imagery with …

Movie musicals, it seems, are finally unafraid of singing.

The effect of Chicago on the industry, and on the musical films that followed, can’t be understated.

“If you have less singing, then the singing that exists is going to come alive.”That’s not really the effect of the Rent film, nor of Phantom.

For years, people have chalked up the success or failure of movie musicals to the improper casting of movie stars as opposed to great singers.

There are still many musical films to come this year, and only time will tell if they’ll continue that trend.

While the creative ambitions of DaCosta’s film are admirable, the film itself might leave something to be desired for some viewers.

When I heard that Visual Concepts had taken the step of bringing all 30 NBA arena PAs into NBA 2K22, which launched last week, my first thought was, more or less, “This had to be a ton of work.”It was.

“Tempo,” means with gusto — the player is a home team player, they just made a high-energy play or scored a pivotal bucket.

“Non-tempo” means they’re a visiting player, a Joe Schmoe that Mason isn’t professionally obligated to hype up.

When a fan put the phrase on a poster — and took the poster to a rival’s arena — it stuck.

Pistons fans probably remember hearing it before — Mason’s son sure did, pointing it out to his Dad a few years ago.

From there, things spiral — for both the characters and real-world viewers.

The Morning Show is for you if…...you vibe with the phrase “chaos is the new cocaine”Here’s the biggest hook in The Morning Show’s arsenal: Things are always falling apart.

But it’s also a show about people working in TV news, and the news they report is largely, stuff that actually happened.

Crudup plays the scheming network executive Cory Ellison, newly in charge of the company’s news division after establishing himself on the entertainment side.

Television morning news is a strange space to operate in, and The Morning Show makes that clear.

Shaky cameras and supernatural hauntings have returned in another Paranormal Activity movie.

Paramount released the first trailer for Paranormal Activity: Next of Kin on Friday, and revealed that the reboot will be released on Paramount Plus this October.

Meanwhile, Paranormal Activity: Next of Kin will be written by Christopher Landon, who directed both Happy Death Day movies and last year’s body swap horror-comedy Freaky.

Landon has worked in the Paranormal Activity franchise before, directing and writing 2014’s Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones, one of the series’ better sequels.

Paranormal Activity: Next of Kin will be released and stream exclusively on Paramount Plus on Oct. 29.

Kick doors, kick people, kick everything you can.

The time loop thriller starts with your character Colt being murdered and suddenly awakening on the shores of Blackreef.

The machete is efficient, but it’s a bit slow and it leaves Colt vulnerable.

Much like the idiom of having a hammer and seeing nothing but nails, I have to be careful not to kick my way through Deathloop.

Despite Deathloop being a game about breaking the loop, I’m having an excellent time smelling the roses along the way.

SpongeBob SquarePants and Patrick Star will stumble through a Rick and Morty-esque multiverse in an upcoming adventure game, SpongeBob SquarePants: The Cosmic Shake.

Announced by developer THQ Nordic on Friday, the game is “coming soon” to Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Windows PC, according to a description of the game on THQ Nordic’s YouTube page.

The game follows SpongeBob and Patrick after the two unintentionally open up portals to other universes.

Fans of the classic Nickelodeon show will recognize a cast of characters like the Flying Dutchman or Mrs.

Also, SpongeBob lip-synchs to a classic rock song from SpongeBob SquarePants: The Yellow Album.

Jagged Alliance, the 25-year-old turn-based tactics series, will finally deliver its second numbered sequel — and first of this century — with Jagged Alliance 3, coming to Windows PC at an unannounced date.

Jagged Alliance 3 will be developed by Haemimont Games and published by THQ Nordic, which acquired the Jagged Alliance IP in 2015.

Jagged Alliance: Gold Edition comprises the 1995 game and its 1996 spinoff, Jagged Alliance: Deadly Games.

Haemimont Games, based in Sofia, Bulgaria, specializes in strategy and city-building games, but has never handled the Jagged Alliance series.

Since then the series has gotten various expansions and content packs on different platforms, including 2012’s J…

The first Outcast game, an award-winning sci-fi adventure game developed by Appeal and published by Infogrames, was released on PC way back in 1999.

But Outcast 2 looks like it’s actually going to happen this time, thanks to THQ Nordic, which is publishing the long-awaited sequel, once again developed by Appeal Studios.

(The Belgian developer also released a modern remake of Outcast in 2017, titled Outcast - Second Contact, which Nacon published.)

Khora: Rise of an Empire made its debut this week at the Gen Con tabletop gaming convention and in select retail stores.

For a medium-weight European-style game, it certainly has its charms, especially as an experience for just two players.

In Khora, players take on the role of early Greek city states vying for glory.

The main way to earn victory points in the game is through exploration, represented by a field of tokens on the main game board.

If you’re looking for another two-player game for your collection, or you have a hungry gaming group looking for a few games a night, Khora: Rise of an Empire is worth your attention.

More than any other BioWare game, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic paved the way for the cinematic style we know BioWare for today.

Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic was released in 2003, made by fewer than 100 people.

Kieron Gillen, now a comic book writer, reviewed Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic for Eurogamer - and he didn't mince his words.

BioWare returned to the Old Republic era years later with huge online game Star Wars: The Old Republic, which promised to contain several games' worth of stories.

"What I would do is empower other people to tell their Star Wars stories, be the mentor who helps them bring their vision of the ultimate Star Wars story to life.

Phasmophobia developer Kinetic Games has pushed out a new update to celebrate the ghost investigation game's first anniversary.

Revered 90s gaming show, GamesMaster, will be back on our screens later this year after a 23-year break.

While we already knew the show was making its triumphant return on E4 in the UK, a new press release explains that the programme will be back later this year with a "social-first partnership" with Facebook's Oculus Quest 2.

"The series will see celebrities, gaming stars and super fans all take part in challenges, races and epic fights," the press release teases.

After more than two decades off our screens, iconic series, GamesMaster is set to make a return on E4.

We first learned that Channel 4 was rebooting GamesMaster back in February thanks to a sponsorship post by the channel.

This week we said goodbye to a genuine legend, Sir Clive Sinclair, whose vision virtually defined the British games industry - and by extension huge swathes of the modern gaming landscape.

Sir Clive Sinclair.

Envisioning a future where every household would have its own computer, Sinclair began putting together what would become the ZX80, which had a whopping 1k of memory in its basic form.

Despite the success of the Spectrum, Sinclair didn't stay in the computer business much longer.

None of his follow-up plans came to fruition, and before long the Sinclair company was reduced to a handful of full-time staff, and eventually just Sir Clive.

Сервис AudioMob выяснил, как британские геймеры относятся к рекламе в мобильных играх.

Подавляющее большинство пользователей заявило, что им не нравится видеореклама.

При этом они оказались не против креативов в аудиоформате.

По данным Omdia , выручка от встроенной рекламы растет гораздо быстрее доходов от внутриигровых покупок.

Компания прогнозирует, что при нынешних темпах к 2025 году доля рекламной выручки достигнет 42%.

В 2016 году доля выручки от встроенной рекламы составляла всего 17,6%.

Соотношение выручки от рекламы и встроенных покупок в мобильных играх (2016-2025 гг.)

Эскофет также отметил, что быстрее всего доля рекламной выручки растет в карточных играх, социальных казино, пазлах и спортивных тайтлах.

Ключевые данные615 тысяч пользователей купили или продали NFT в Axie Infinity.

Только в августе продажи в Axie Infinity составили $765 млн.

Для сравнения, еще в январе общий объем торговых операций в игре не превышал $100 тысяч.

4 сентября стоимость одного токена AXS, который используется для совершения транзакций в игре, достигла исторического максимума в $93,68.

Игроки также могут зарабатывать деньги в Axie Infinity, соревнуясь с пользователями в специальных сезонах.

Китай запустил сайт для жалоб на игровые компании и игры, которые не соблюдают новые ограничения, касающиеся количества времени, которое дети могут проводить за онлайн-развлечениями.

Кроме того, на прошлой неделе появилась информация, что в Китае замедлили процесс выдачи лицензий на игры.

В ней указаны все требования и правила, которые необходимо соблюдать при публикации трейлеров на различные платформы.

Разрешение трейлеров для eShop должно быть не больше 720p с битрейтом 2000 кбит/с, а FPS — не превышать 30 кадров в секунду.

В концовке трейлера для Epic Games Store обязательно нужно указать логотип магазина.

При этом информации о сторах-конкурентах в ролике быть не должно.

Однако в трейлере для PS Store должна быть только одна аудиодорожка.

Вот только его способности не совпали с теми, которые обещала компания miHoYo .

Это не понравилась игрокам.

В частности, способности Райден больше не влияли на способности Бэй Доу.

Отметим, что это не первый раз, когда игроки Genshin Impact просят усилить способности персонажей.

В своей студии Book Burner Games он займется созданием тактической ролевой игры.

Все остальное время он посвятит студии Book Burner Games, где выступит в роли креативного директора и будет отвечает за саундтрек и музыкальный супервайзинг.

Петр Сальников: Мы пока не стартап и не бизнес.

9 сентября NetEase опубликовала в Китае Harry Potter: Magic Awakened — мобильную карточную игру с оригинальной боевой системой.

К слову, разработкой Harry Potter: Magic Awakened как раз занималась часть команды Onmyoji.

По данным AppMagic, на сегодняшний день выручка только iOS-версии Harry Potter: Magic Awakened достигла $22,7 млн.

В основе геймплея лежат карточные бои в реальном времени, причем сражаться придется как с монстрами, так и с другими игроками.

Зимой Harry Potter: Magic Awakened выйдет в Японии, Индонезии, Филиппинах, Южной Корее, Таиланде, Малайзии и Сингапуре.

Консалтинговая фирма Naavik и инвестиционный фонд BITKRAFT Ventures подсчитали , что в этом году выручка индустрии видеоигр составит $336 млрд — в два раза больше, чем прогнозировалось ранее*.

Но Naavik и BITKRAFT Ventures решили, что этого недостаточно для полной картины и добавили еще несколько категорий.

Львиная доля заработка видеоигр (89% или $173 млрд) придется на традиционные платформы: мобайл ($90,7 млрд), консоли ($49,2 млрд) и PC ($33,3 млрд).

Железо и периферияКак и в случае с видеоиграми, прежде аналитики слишком узко подходили к сегменту железа, уверены Naavik и BITKRAFT Ventures.

На втором месте окажется Nintendo Switch — $7,8 млрд, а на третьем Xbox — $4,6 млрд.

В мобильные тайтлы чаще всего играют женщины, однако мужчины наиболее активно тратят в них деньги.

При этом скандинавские геймеры в целом крайне неохотно доверяют свои персональные данные играм.

Примечание: AppsFlyer собрала данные на основе опроса 4039 пользователей из Швеции, Дании, Финляндии и Норвегии старше 18 лет.

Чаще всего в мобильные тайтлы играют люди в возрасте 40-49 лет.

При этом в Скандинавии в целом довольно маленький процент платящих геймеров.

Brendan Sinclair Managing Editor Thursday 16th September 2021 Share this article ShareSir Clive Sinclair has died at the age of 81 after a long illness, as reported by The Guardian.

Sinclair is best known in gaming as the inventor of the ZX Spectrum home computer in 1982.

The Spectrum sold more than five million systems in its ten-year lifespan, and played host to more than 2,000 games.

For most of a generation, this was their first experience of computer games.

Among the serial entrepreneur's other creations were the Sinclair Executive pocket calculator in 1972, the Sinclair TV80 in 1983, and the Sinclair C5 tricycle-like electric vehicle in 1985.

Debating Difficulty in Game DesignThe debate over difficulty in videogames continues to rage, and for today's post, I want to try, once and for all, to explain that difficulty is not a part of accessibility, but an essential element designers need to take note of.

Mick McGinty, an artist responsible for many of the most memorable pieces of video game artwork from the 1990s, has died.

AdvertisementHe passed away “peacefully” on September 18, as announced by his son Jobey in a post.

While he worked for decades across a number of fields, it’s his video game contributions that most of you will be familiar with, as McGinty provided the illustrations for a number of iconic pieces of cover and promotional art.

Perhaps most notable are his Street Fighter II works, which graced everything from console and computer game covers to posters:It’s almost impossible remembering Street Fighter II—if you were around at the time and conscious of it, at any rate—without…

Now his former employer, MassMutual, has been fined over Gill’s conduct while working there.

It was complete and thorough.”Gill had been working at MassMutual while initially giving GameStop stock advice on platforms like Reddit and YouTube, and didn’t resign his position until January.

This state investigation didn’t lead to any charges, and didn’t directly involve Gill.

A separate inquiry into Gill himself and his own actions remains underway in Massachusetts , as does a class-action lawsuit.

Other observers began to notice that GameStop stock was massively shorted by some big hedge funds.

While in RPGs I’ll always create the most fantastical character I can, when it comes to sports games for some reason I always like to role-play as...myself.

Nintendo’s famous Mario has a brother named Luigi and for some reason, the taller of the bros has been found in a prototype build of the Sega Dreamcast racing game Sega GT.

Luigi was found in a prototype that’s part of a massive release of over 40o Xbox and Dreamcast prototypes and unreleased games.

Yesterday, the group released its latest Deluge dump containing 349 Xbox and 135 Dreamcast prototypes.

I never thought I would come across it on one of my prototypes.”AdvertisementAs far as anyone can tell, Luigi isn’t in the final retail release of Sega GT or its Xbox sequel Sega GT 2002.

Splitgate was first released in 2019 and while it did well at first, it quickly dropped off the radar for most folks.

Now the devs, with more money and investors, are excited about the future and have big plans for the suddenly super-popular Splitgate.

“There’s so much we couldn’t think about because we were a tiny team with a tiny budget, but now everything is on the table,” explained Proulx.

This led to some nasty server issues and 1047 Games scrambled to keep up with the now huge player count .

After all that success, o n September 14, 1047 Games announced that it had successfully raised $100 million from a bunch of venture capital investors.

The internet’s mission to help LeV ar Burton become the host of the long-running game show Jeopardy!

This prompted Sony to field a series of guest hosts while figuring out the game show’s future.

Eventually, he was completely let go by Sony late last month and is no longer the EP on either Wheel of Fortune or Jeopardy!

After all this, and some other nonsense with Mayim Bialik —a different bad host hired by Sony— many just wanted Burton to be given the gig they felt perfectly suited him.

However, LeV ar Burton is no longer interested in hosting the show .

Diablo II Resurrected was announced back in February 2021, before the lawsuit, and is being developed by Vicarious Visions using the original source code and gameplay of the classic action RPG first released by Blizzard back in 2000.

Games like World of Warcraft and Overwatch have also removed mentions and references to people named in the various claims and the lawsuit.

And Activision itself seemed quick to hide its logo and company name during the announcement of the latest Call of Duty.

As a result of this and all the controversy, Gallerani told Axios that Vicarious Visions did a full scrub of Diablo II Resurrected to see if any references, names, or quests needed to be removed or change…

Female Soviet chess legend Nona Gaprindashvili is suing Netflix for $5 million after a scene in the hit show Queen’s Gambit falsely claimed she had never played against men.

The popular Netflix show is about a fictional American chess player named Beth Harmon who rises up the ranks to become a globally successful chess legend.

There’s Nona Gaprindashvili, but she’s the female world champion and has never faced men.”At this point, Queen’s Gambit is set in the year 1968.

Like that game, Deltarune is developed by Toby Fox, though this time Fox isn’t alone and is working alongside a team of other devs.

The first chapter of Deltarune was also released as a surprise when it was launched back in 2018.

Like the first chapter released three years ago, Deltarune Chapter 2 is available for free.

On the official website for the game, creator Toby Fox explained why the latest chapter was being offered for free.

So I decided to release DELTARUNE Chapter 2 for free,” said Fox.

The Tommy Tallarico FactorBefore diving into the nitty-gritty of the console, it’s worth knowing about Tommy Tallarico, who has become the face of the Amico.

Back in 1979, two years after the release of the Atari 2600, Mattel released its own home video game console named the Intellivision.

The console was moderately successful, but eventually, Mattel left the game industry after the infamous video game crash of 1983.

Here, for the first time, folks would get to see multiple Amico games, including Shark!

(Oddly enough, the promise of every Amico game being “exclusive” remains in the new version.)

Anyway, so I’ve been spying watching some Talonflame near me and I think I’ve cracked the biggest crime ring in years.

See, in some Pokedex entries listed on Bulbapedia, you learn that Talonflame’s fireproof wings are often used by firefighters to create fireproof uniforms.

But also, in other Pokedex entries, it’s revealed to drop firey embers from its wings during flight.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHARandom FactsAccording to some Pokedex entries, Talonflame can fly as fast as 300 MPH.

A ccording to people I know who play Pokemon Unite, Talonflame is “OP as fuck” and “needs a nerf”.

It is also true that other games exist, and execute on most of 5e’s goals better than it does.

D&D 5e is trying to be everything to everyone, and that is a very difficult thing to be.

If you look at previous editions of D&D (I’m looking at you 2e and 3.5e) you will see a lot of shit.

Couple this with immense brand recognition, and 5e is great at getting people to play it.

So as part of our industry comeback event – IRL – in London last night, we decided to applaud those efforts.

Woodley replaces Stu Disney, chair of Curve Digital, who stepped down as chair of Ukie at the conclusion of his term.

The Ukie board elections saw five members successfully elected to the board.

The board, which now consists of 23 directors, is the most diverse board in Ukie history, in terms of gender and ethnicity.

“It’s an absolute honour to be elected chair of the Ukie board,” said Tim Woodley, Head of Publishing at Hello Games.

Ukie has launched the second UK Games Industry Census to once again authoritatively assess workforce diversity in the sector.

This year’s survey has also been expanded to cover some additional ground in relation to working patterns and access needs to generate an even deeper profile of the games industry workforce.

The ambition is to more than double the number of respondents to the first census, which reached over 3,200 people (20%) of the UK games industry in 2019.

Share FacebookTwitterLinkedInNintendo has dropped the official price of the standard model of the Switch across Europe.

However, Nintendo does not have an official price for the Switch in Europe, so the new price could potentially fall even further.

This could be a result of Nintendo rethinking the price for the original Switch model, ahead of the release of the OLED edition in October, which will retail for around £309.99.

Nintendo reported that sales of the Switch were down in Q2 this year, a drop of 18 per cent year on year, though it still managed to sell 4.2m more consoles.

Gonzalez Rogers sided with just one of Epic’s 10 counts against Apple, but also sided with one of Apple’s counterclaims against Epic.

Epic claimed that Apple’s rules against developers providing external, third-party payment options (thus depriving Apple of their 30%) was anti-competitive and monopolistic.

In the ruling, the judge granted one major victory to Epic Games – ordering Apple’s policy of preventing external payment options to be reversed within 90 days.

Epic Games is hardly leaving the battle unbruised, though.

Although current MSI motherboards’ front Type-C only supports USB 3.2 Gen 2’s 10Gbps transmission speed, we believe that USB 3.2 Gen 2×2 will become the norm soon.

Was it bottlenecking the GPU to the point of slowing down games and taking away the full potential of the consoles, or was it powerful enough to squeeze by?

I've been working on getting the parts list and ultimately buying a server upgrade for my Unraid box. New mobo, CPU, 2 additional NVME drives, new Meshify XL case, the works. I got pretty excited to start my build yesterday morning. One of the things I got was a "Renewed and Inspected" Corsair HX850 power supply. The listing stated that "Accessories may not be original but will be compatible and fully functional". "Cool." I thought, "I'm gonna save $50 on this power supply and it's gonna be great." Turns out, that the accessories, the SATA cables in particular, were swapped out, with what I can only deduce, with an EVGA power supply's cables. Dude. So, for those that don't know, power suppl…

Final Fantasy VII was first made in 1997, but its content has a timeless appeal that’s relevant in any era.

The origins of Final Fantasy VIIDuring the development of Final Fantasy VII, the games industry was starting to shift from 2D to 3D, mainly focused around titles developed in Europe and North America.

We had a desire to make the Final Fantasy series something that would stand up during the coming decades.

Delayed gratificationFortunately, Final Fantasy VII was a hit.

For Final Fantasy VII, I think the game still has much to offer.

The brand new version comes packed with a formidable new chess piece from a mysterious race, a fire-new Big Winner mode, as well as the war-themed Season 14.

Plus, PS teaming function will be available soon and you can enjoy the game together with your friends!

An Exciting New Feature: PS Teaming FunctionAmazing as the new version already is, the much-requested PS teaming function will make the game even better.

As the only currency and the entry ticket in this mode, Big Winner Medals can be used to refresh the piece store during the game.

In Big Winner, it requires your boldness and strategies to top the list.

The top downloads charts for August are here, revealing the top performers on PlayStation Store last month.

Madden NFL 22 took the crown for PS5 and PS4 downloads across US and Canada.

In Europe, Ghost of Tsushima Director’s Cut grabbed the top spot on PS5, while Grand Theft Auto V secured a number one position on PS4.

On free-to-play, Splitgate continues its run atop the charts for Europe and US and Canada.

For example, we have our own fluid simulation module that can feed its simulation data to NGP.

In addition to that simulation (which we refer to as Global Fluid Simulation), we can have additional simulations attached to different actors in the game.

Any gameplay event can be scripted to add forces to the fluid simulation causing nearby VFX elements to react.

This made the process of placing fog volumes a lot faster, since the fog adapted automatically to its surroundings.

In contrast to skeletal meshes, fog volumes in Unreal Engine are always shaped like boxes and so are the voxels they’re built from.

He built the prototype model and later continued to refine and explore real-time techniques for various details like her hair.

She is fully brought to life in animation, where much of her personality is conveyed through the way she moves and acts.

With many animations across the game, we created a library of expressions and other details like hand and hair poses.

Giving life to all the wonderful pieces of her character design was important to us, and we put a lot of care into the movement of her clothing and hair.

While we used physics on other characters in the game, every aspect of our main character was animated by hand.

And now, in 2021, we’re bringing a much anticipated wholly new take with OlliOlli World to PS4 and PS5.

We want to really bring you, the players, into OlliOlli World.

On PS5, you’ll be able to appreciate all the epic and super wacky level details in stunning 4K.

Not only can you unlock cool new items for your character, you’ll also be building skills that are bound to come in handy in later levels.

Customize your skateboard in OlliOlli World.

Delve into randomly generated dungeons where a string of missed notes can lead to your demise.

Your goal is to reach the end of these dungeons, collecting different weapons, abilities, and items each time you play.

Only by mastering the rhythm of an action can you clear every randomly generated dungeon and reach a climactic crescendo.

Much like each enemy, every boss moves and attacks in a unique way that you must learn to exploit if you want to succeed.

We hope you’ve enjoyed this dive into BPM, and you’re ready to conquer the lords of Helheim when BPM: Bullets Per Minute is released on PS4 worldwide on October 5.

If you take advantage of the way Skyrim Special Edition handles heavy mod loads to tweak the heck out of it—and especially if you use an ENB to overhaul the graphics—you've probably taken a hit to your framerate.

(I've been using Ominous ENB to give things a gloomy, somber look, but it costs up to 20fps in some areas.)

Have a look at the changelog in the mod's description to see just how many cells have had occlusion panes added to them.

As the mod's description notes, "the increase in performance is inversely proportional to the power of your computer.

To make sure your framerate's hurting in the first place, here are some of the best Skyrim Special Edition mods.

Deltarune Chapter 2 suddenly released last week, and contrary to what everyone expected it's free.

The first chapter was free too, but this trailer is among several that forewarned that you'd need to pay to continue the story.

"Originally I had planned to release chapters only when all them are finished, but honestly, it's hard both for creators and fans to go a long time without a release.

Then, at that time I will ask for people to buy the game, at the price of the first 5 chapters (including 1 and 2).

It's been three years since the first Deltarune chapter released, and that can be attributed to a lot of development changes, including a new engine.

In a recent blog post, the developers addressed their implementation of slavery in this grand strategy game in greater detail than they have before.

Lead developer Martin Anward posted the diary, making it clear that slavery is in no way glorified in Victoria 3.

A new DLC song pack is available for Synth Riders, featuring British rock band Muse and some of their greatest hits.

The pack includes five Muse songs, one of which has a special unique visual experience that goes with it.

The DLC is available now for Oculus Quest and Steam, and will launch on PSVR later this month on September 29.

The songs will also be included with a special physical edition of Synth Riders for PSVR, set to release in November.

They are a perfect fit for Synth Riders because of their sound – when you ride the rails to match the vocals, the combination is electrifying and emotional,” said Kluge Interactive Creative Director Abraham Ageuro in a prepared statement.

Impulse Gear today announced that its VR hero shooter Larcenauts (2021) is getting another free content update soon.

The studio hasn’t said much for now, however the update is called ‘The Zarius Heist’, and will bring to the game a new hero, map, payload objective mode, and private lobbies.

Impulse Gear says additional details are coming soon which will further detail The Zarius Heist.

In it, we noted that Larcenauts has the breadth of mechanics that you’d hope to see in a hero shooter, although we felt it was missing an immersive hook due to minimal VR-specific interactions.

We’re of course hoping to see more of those in the new character and payload mode, the latter of which sounds like i…

A free content update coming at the end of September will bring a new Specialist and a brand new map and a new Payload game mode to competitive VR team shooter, Larcenauts.

Here’s what they had to say:Coming at the end of September as a free content update, The Zarius Heist will bring an all-new Specialist into the fray, a brand-new map, a new payload objective mode and more.

Additional details about the new character, map, private lobbies, and new game mode will be made available soon.

The Zarius Heist will be the first content update of this size since launch, adding more than just minor changes and bug fixes.

Larcenauts will be on sale at 10% off on Oculus platforms for one day tomorrow …

Many years before the release of Half-Life: Alyx, a group of fans built a rudimentary Half-Life 2 VR mod which allowed the game to be played with early VR headset development kits.

If you’ve been following the VR gaming space for a long while, you probably recall back in 2017 when the Half-Life 2 VR mod was announced to significant fanfare.

Somehow between then and now Valve made an entirely new VR game, Half-Life: Alyx, which released in 2020 to widespread acclaim.

But the Half-Life 2 VR mod may live on yet.

It’s been nearly eight years since the original version of the Half-Life 2 VR mod was released, and four years since the reboot was announced.

One of VR’s most popular games, Beat Saber, got a multiplayer mode late last year.

While Quest and Rift could always play Beat Saber together from the start, the SteamVR version was stuck as its own multiplayer island.

Facebook-owned Beat Games announced this week that Beat Saber now supports cross-play between any Oculus and SteamVR headsets.

While it’s great that Oculus and SteamVR headsets can finally play together, unfortunately the PSVR version of Beat Saber is still missing a multiplayer mode entirely.

Hopefully this step toward cross-play is a hint that the Beat Saber multiplayer mode for PSVR isn’t too much further away.

Facebook handed off its PC-based VR illustration and animation tool Quill to its original creator Iñigo Quilez.

The move comes almost two years after Adobe acquired from Facebook the VR sculpting app Medium, as well as several members of the team making the PC-based software.

Earlier this year, Google stopped development of Tilt Brush and open sourced the VR art app.

Quill Theater on Oculus Quest — a viewer for Quill creations — will become the “VR Animation Player” after October 18.

The original Quill creation app will be removed from its listing on the Oculus Store for Rift at that time.

We sit down with Unplugged to talk bringing finger-tracked air guitar to VR.

Though he’s not a member of developer Anotherway or publisher Vertigo Games, Marcus Henderson has become a bit of a spokesperson for Unplugged, and it’s clear to see why.

The latest stop on that tour is working on this finger-tracked VR music game.

In the video above, we talk to Henderson about what to expect from Unplugged.

Stick with us later this month for the reveal of the game’s release date and the full tracklist.

Fast Travel Games’ Wraith: The Oblivion – Afterlife lands on PSVR nearly six months on from launch on other platforms.

The narrative-driven horror game hits the platform on October 7 and will cost $29.99/£24.99.

Wraith already released on Oculus Quest and PC VR headsets towards the start of the year, but Fast Travel confirmed the PSVR version would launch later ahead of that release.

Wraith: The Oblivion PSVR Version InboundWraith is the first VR game set in the World of Darkness tabletop universe, which has also spawned games like Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines.

We thought Wraith was a worthy addition to the World of Darkness universe thanks to a strong story that stays true to the f…

Gran Turismo 7 developer Polyphony Digital is tight-lipped about potential PS5 VR and PSVR support… for now.

In an interview with Eurogamer, series creator Kazunori Yamauchi was asked about PSVR support for the upcoming racing sim.

Will Gran Turismo 7 Support PSVR 2?

The question of Gran Turismo 7 and PSVR support is an interesting one.

PS4 exclusive Gran Turismo Sport did feature support for Sony’s first VR headset but only in very limited time trial and one-on-one AI race modes.
