Но опровергать историю о том, что миллиардер якобы заявился в офис CD Projekt RED с оружием, разработчик не стал.

Однако полноценное производство, судя по всему, ещё не стартовало.

Одну из строчек в списке взяла Overwatch 2.

Создатели Detroit утверждают, что всё ещё активно работают над экшеном по «Звёздным войнам».

Предыдущий всплеск интереса к игре — на фоне релиза сериала Edgerunners — был не так велик.

Судя по всему, их действие по большей части развернётся в Лондоне, где падает космический корабль, и куда надвигается беда.

К ролям Доктора и Донны впервые за много лет вернутся Дэвид Теннант и Кэтрин Тейт, а автором сценария всех трёх серий выступил Рассел Т. Дейвис, вернувшийся в качестве шоураннера после ухода в 2010 году.

Следующий спецэпизод «Доктора Кто» выпустят в декабре, а в 2024-м начнётся полноценный сезон с Гатвой в главной роли.

Путешествовать в пределах солнечной системы без «фаст-трэвела» стало куда проще.

Но на возмущавшихся переменой игроков исполнитель роли Человека-паука не обижается.

А ремейк Resident Evil 4 планируют выпустить на устройствах Apple до конца года.

В игре многое изменилось по сравнению с 2020 годом, но некоторые баги и особенности остались.

В озвучке шутера принимали участие профессиональные актёры, которые некогда работали над официальным переводом игр Valve.

Bros хотел, чтобы Леонардо Ди Каприо сыграл Загадочника в кинокомиксе «Тёмный рыцарь: Возрождение легенды» Статьи редакции Но у авторов фильма был другой подход к выбору злодея — они хотели, чтобы антагонист подходил к написанной ими истории, а не наоборот.

Серьёзные корректировки, согласно которым даже заставка «Made with Unity» станет опциональной.

Её проект The First Descendant — один из первых крупных экшенов на движке Unreal Engine 5, и на днях все желающие могли опробовать его бета-версию.

К сожалению, в плане сюжета The First Descendant ничем не отличается от большинства лутер-шутеров — чем дольше её проходишь, тем чаще хочется пропускать диалоги.

Не спасает и то, что уникальные виды оружия разработчики толком не придумали — бегаешь с самыми обычными автоматами, пулемётами, снайперскими винтовками, дробовиками и так далее.

Редкие попытки удивитьМожет показаться, что отношение к The First Descendant у меня негативное, но отрицательных эмоций она не вызывает.

Неудивительно, что и впечатления от самой игры тоже получились контрастными.

Каждому своёА вот в Dune: Spice Wars нет сюжетной кампании.

В награду фракция получает в своё распоряжение большой регион — а для общей победы нужно захватить восемь таких.

Кроме того, за победы выдают глобальные бонусы и несколько снижают «давление», которое растёт после каждой миссии и для каждой подконтрольной территории, накладывая негативные эффекты.

С одной стороны, тут всё достаточно сложно, а с другой — мало динамики, не хватает сюжетного хлыста, ИИ не самый выдающийся.

Разработчики из Merge Games готовы выпустить Smalland: Survive the Wilds из лягушатника раннего доступа.

Они назвали дату релиза версии 1.0, а также расширили список платформ для выживача — он выйдет и на консолях.

Напомним, Smalland: Survive the Wilds предложит сыграть за одного из миниатюрных людей, для которых простая лужа оказывается озером, а деревья — необъятными исполинами.

Smalland: Survive the Wilds покинет ранний доступ 7 декабря на ПК (Steam, Epic Games Store), PlayStation 5 и Xbox Series.

После релиза версии 1.0 поддержка игры продолжится.

Также разработчики обновили системные требования для Mac — для игры на высоких или ультранастройках рекомендуется чип M1 Pro и включенная FSR.

В лагерь принесли волшебное зеркало, которое позволит изменять внешность персонажа в любой момент и сколько угодно раз.

Также инструмент не в силах помочь с изменениями, которые случились с героем во время приключений.

Коллектив продолжает трудиться над будущими патчами, в которых не только поправят баги, но и введут новые фичи с эпилогами.

Если верить главе Larian Свену Винке (Swen Vincke), релиз на консоли Microsoft намечен на период с сентября по ноябрь 2023-го.

Во время Tokyo Game Show 2023 Capcom уточнила дату выхода версии Resident Evil Village для iPhone 15 Pro и iPad.

Напомним, «восьмёрку» будут поддерживать iPhone 15 Pro и Pro Max, а также модели iPad Air и iPad Pro с процессорами M1 и лучше.

Тем временем выход ремейка Resident Evil 4 на Mac, iPhone и iPad по-прежнему намечен на 2023 год.

То есть если игра уже куплена на Mac, платить за неё на iPhone или iPad не придётся.

У Resident Evil Village данная фишка отсутствует.

Какие из них привлекли больше внимания (и кровно заработанных) в Steam?

В него попали Baldur’s Gate III, Sea of Stars и даже Overwatch 2, которая, похоже, насобирала не только плохие отзывы, но и приличную кассу.

Игроки и разработчики EVE Online вместе празднуют 20-летие существования проекта.

В рамках большого трёхдневного мероприятия студия CCP Games анонсировала следующее большое обновление Havoc и PvPvE-шутер EVE Vanguard.

Формально, днём рождения космической MMO считается 6 мая, но масштабный фестиваль EVE Fanfest 2023 разработчики смогли провести только в сентябре.

Фанаты критиковали игру за весьма посредственную связь с экономикой и другими аспектами EVE Online.

Похоже, Vanguard даже будет запускаться только через клиент EVE Online.

Ниже мы собрали выводы из трёх рецензий — с высокой, средней и низкой оценками в рамках опубликованных обзоров.

Амаар Чоудхури (Amaar Chowdhury)Хотя Payday 3, несомненно, понравится ветеранам серии и новичкам, ей еще предстоит пройти несколько обновлений, чтобы стать лучше, чем Payday 2.

Когда все работает без сбоев, игра даёт самый лучший опыт ограблений в серии на данный момент, но досадные упущения и сомнительный дизайн прогресса ограничивают потенциал Payday 3.

В Payday 3 есть свои приятные моменты — знакомые кооперативные ограбления переносятся на новый игровой движок.

Игра с первого дня попала в каталог подписки Game Pass.

В DLC Phantom Liberty для Cyberpunk 2077 компанию Киану Ривзу (Keanu Reeves) составила ещё одна голливудская звезда — Идрис Эльба (Idris Elba).

По сюжету «Призрачной свободы» Ви и Рид отправятся в новый район Найт-Сити — Пёсий город, чтобы спасти президента НСША.

Помимо новых локаций и сюжета, в добавку входят свежие умения, предметы и повышенный до 60-го максимальный уровень Ви.

Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty стартует 26 сентября на ПК (Steam, GOG, EGS), PlayStation 5 и Xbox Series.

Патч доступен только на компьютерах и текущем поколении консолей.

После нескольких дней молчания Unity наконец представила обновлённые условия использования движка.

Новые условия от Unity сильно «нерфят» Runtime Fee и выглядят так:Runtime Fee начнут применять, если проект заработал свыше $1 000 000 за последние 12 месяцев.

В проектах, созданных на Unity Personal, больше не потребуют обязательную заставку Made with Unity.

Unity Pro и Unity Enterprise(Тарифы для профессионалов и корпораций.)

С проектов, на которые действует Runtime Fee, будут собирать плату по одному из двух условий:Статистику для сборов по Runtime Fee разработчики предоставляют сами.

Square Enix опубликовала трейлер обновления 6.5 Growing Light для Final Fantasy XIV.

Первая часть выйдет 3 октября этого года, а вторая — в середине января 2024 года.

Вместе с обновлением в игре появятся новые основные сюжетные квесты и дополнительные задания, несколько новых подземелий, новое испытание Unreal, новая арена, обновления Островного святилища, дополнительные маунты, PvP-снаряжение, эмоции, косметика и многое другое.

Манга про игровые миры, в которые попадает главный геройСуществует бесчисленное количество аниме, действие которых проходит в игровых мирах — и большинство создали на основе существующей манги.

This time it's called EVE Vanguard, a shooter "module" which will sit within the EVE launcher and asychronously connect to EVE Online.

The most obvious previous occasion is with Dust 514, CCP's 2013 PlayStation 3-only shooter set in the EVE Online universe.

In 2014, CCP announced sandbox shooter Project Legion, set in the EVE Online universe, which went away without ever being released.

In 2018, they ran closed betas for tactical shooter Project Nova, set in the EVE Online universe, before cancelling it in 2020.

As the saying goes, if at first you don't succeed, try, try and try again.

It currently sits "Mostly Negative" reviews on Steam - that's 31% positive after almost 19,000 reviews.

"Imagine waiting for an hour and ten minutes and still not being able to get into a private game," says the one underneath.

"this game makes me feel the developers made this game just so they could pull off the biggest heist of all time.

Throughout it all, the account has been getting roasted by players who can't play, or who simply want an offline mode.

That sounds like a decent game that would probably be getting decent reviews on Steam right now if it wasn't 'always online'.

Unity have announced that they're making changes to their "runtime fee" in response to overwhelming negative feedback.

The key changes are that the fees no longer apply to developers using Unity Personal, and will only apply to developers using Unity Pro or Unity Enterprise who upgrade the next version of Unity which ships in 2024.

"We should have spoken with more of you and we should have incorporated more of your feedback before announcing our new Runtime Fee policy.

Want an RX 6800 XT graphics card?

The RX 6800 XT is the predecessor to the recently released RX 7800 XT, though the two GPUs offer very similar performance - more so than you might expect.

Here's the relevant passage from my testing over at Eurogamer:...the RX 7800 XT often recorded surprisingly similar results to the RX 6800 XT.

The cheapest RX 6800 XT is retailing for around $485 and is likely to drop further once the 7800 XT is available, so this could be a nice bargain option if it shakes out to be more than 10 percent cheaper than the RX 7800 XT - though you would be losing out on better power efficiency and the HYPR-RX features exclusive to AMD's RDNA 3 cards.

Therefore, given that th…

The Fractal Design North is one of the most popular recent PC case releases, combining a beautiful wood front panel, leather accents and excellent ventilation with a modern, easy-to-build mid-tower design.

The North normally retails for £125 or more, but today you can pick it up for a more reasonable £110 when you buy from Box via Ebay, using code SAVINGS20 before September 28th.

That's the cheapest this case has ever been in the UK!

In terms of compatibility, the case fits motherboards up to ATX in size, with 240mm (top) and 360mm radiators (front) and GPUs up to 355mm in length.

Note that this is the tempered glass version of the case; a mesh version is also available but the airflow in t…

Dragon's Dogma was the action-RPG for people who wanted to play alone, but didn't want to feel alone.

Well, pawns are back in Dragon's Dogma 2, which I recently played an hour of, and they're chattier than ever.

I really like the old Dragon's Dogma aesthetic, and Dragon's Dogma 2 offers many sights for sore eyes - crumbly stone bridges over shimmering rivers, hilltop citadels with squat domes that put me in mind of The Name Of The Rose, and some nicely enveloping forests.

I'd like the second of Dragon's Dogma 2's main regions - Battahl, the desert home of the zoomorphic beastren - to take some proper risks with the olde worlde look.

I'm hoping Dragon's Dogma 2's more advanced, hybrid vocati…

B&H Photo in the US have you covered with their latest discount on AMD's fastest gaming CPU*, which sees the processor drop to $389 after debuting earlier this year at $439.

AMD's advantage against Intel come in the form of better gaming performance (at the top end, anyway) and better power efficiency, with the 7800X3D producing significantly less heat and using less power than the Core i9 13900K and 12900K.

Honkai Impact 3rd, the hack-and-slash action game that shares its universe and characters with HoYoverse's more recent and better-known Honkai: Star Rail, is due to receive a massive update that will take the game to Mars - and seemingly leave one of its heroes behind.

Honkai Impact 3rd’s Part 2 arrives seven years after the game made its mobile debut in Part 1, which wrapped up the game’s original arc earlier this year following its PC release in 2019.

If you’re waiting for a Steam Deck capable of running Starfield at a decent clip, you’re going to be waiting a while yet.

Valve has said that a more powerful Steam Deck will arrive at the end of 2025 earliest, with no major performance upgrade expected in the meantime.

That’s per Steam Deck dev Pierre-Loup Griffais, who told The Verge that the portable PC would likely remain fixed to its current spec for at least a couple more years.

Image credit: Rock Paper ShotgunAs such, Griffais said that the Steam Deck would only look to overhaul its hardware “when there is a significant enough increase to be had”.

With newer games like Starfield already pushing the machine past its capabilities, that …

Sea of Thieves is lining things up for the launch of its 10th season next month, with a multi-month rollout of new features including guilds, a new world event type and a way to play without being attacked by other players.

As a cursed skull, the treasure will slow down the boat that has it on board, opening up the chance for other players to come along and nick it.

The big additions to Sea of Thieves in Season 10 will be preceded by the third and final chapter in the multiplayer pirate game’s crossover with The …

Hit manga and anime series My Hero Academia is the next pop-culture licence to take a shot at the battle royale crown, as the superhero series launches free-to-play online multiplayer game My Hero Ultra Rumble next week.

My Hero Ultra Rumble will give the cast their own battle royale world to scrap in, with 18 of My Hero Academia’s characters - including both heroes and villains - forming eight teams of three before fighting to be the last team standing.

Y’know, battle royale stuff.

Either way, you’ll be able to give My Hero Ultra Rumble a go for free when it launches in full on September 28th, following the end of its open beta test.

If you’ve already been playing that beta, Kirishima, Mom…

Fading Afternoon is a game of excellent vibes as you stroll around the city living your faintly sad life.

It's also an incredibly cool 2D beat 'em up that is, at its best, comfortably the best I can think of.

But the boundaries between the two are too frustrating to make it the legend it ought to be.

It's a sequel to The Friends Of Ringo Ishikawa, a game I didn't really vibe with.

In the ever-evolving world of the Flesh and Blood trading card game, where warriors and technologists battle for supremacy, the upcoming expansion set, Bright Lights, introduces a new take on equipment cards.

Players then have to draw the cards in order to play them for the powerful new effects these equipment cards introduce.

The heart of Bright Lights lies in the transformation of underpowered base equipment into state-of-the-art Evo upgrades.

There’s a couple different options for base equipment that players can use for their heroes’ head, chest, arms, and legs.

When a player draws an Evo equipment, they can transform the base piece by putting it under the Evo.

Waugh, a former stunt performer — brother of fellow stunt performer turned director Ric Roman Waugh and son of stunt performer Fred Waugh — now has his hands on one of the biggest action franchises in America.

For Expend4bles, Waugh reunited with stunt coordinator Alan Ng and the Jackie Chan Stunt Team, who worked with him on Hidden Strike.

Statham was “super excited” to work with the Jackie Chan Stunt Team, Waugh says.

One more secret weapon came in handy on Expend4bles: Waugh grew up immersed in motocross.

His affinity for racing, which previously led him to direct the 2014 crime movie Need for Speed, was a direct influence on Expend4bles’ best action scene.

Johnny Cage has been kind of a big deal for Mortal Kombat from the beginning.

According to the endings of Mortal Kombat and Mortal Kombat 2, Cage would use his experience in the tournaments to craft a series of martial arts blockbuster movies called — what else?

Midway would later go on to poke fun at itself and the multiple resurrections of Johnny Cage in Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance.

For 2011’s Mortal Kombat, Cage is reintroduced as a young, cocky martial artist turned Hollywood action star.

They’re also a perfect demonstration of the way Diablo 3 has leaned hard into randomization ever since the advent of Nephalem Rifts and the brilliant, free-form Adventure Mode.

Diablo 3’s system isn’t just far more legible, with bonuses broken down into three key areas (damage, toughness, and recovery).

When it launched, its fundamentals were sound, but it was hobbled by an extremely parsimonious item game that hoped to usher players toward its short-lived real-money auction house.

But Diablo 3’s systems were never designed to support this level of constantly escalating generosity, and this has created problems.

And Diablo 3’s own history shows that it can get there, if Blizzard is willing …

When writer-director Robert Rodriguez set out to make a new Spy Kids movie, he went to bounce ideas around with some very trusted collaborators: his kids.

Rodriguez took both notes for Netflix’s Spy Kids: Armageddon, in which he integrates video games directly into the spy story.

In Spy Kids: Armageddon, a Standard-Issue Villain unleashes a code that turns every piece of technology into a video game level.

“My kids know how every video game creator created their game,” explains Rodriguez.

And Netflix, Max, and Hulu each have a modern classic for you... whether you’re looking for fast-paced medieval action or the unique voice of Wes Anderson.

Here are the best movies to watch before they leave streaming services at the end of September.

Here’s the real heart of Miami Vice’s enduring appeal: It simply doesn’t look or feel like any other crime drama of its era.

Grand Budapest directly engages with that, bringing the horror of fascism directly into this nostalgic setting.

Not so in The Fall of the House of Usher.

Roderick Usher’s children are dead.

Most of the Usher children are born out of wedlock, and feel compelled to either act out or overzealously assert their influence in a constant struggle for attention or belonging.

Most every character in The Fall of the House of Usher is wholly understandable as a tragic figure.

The Fall of the House of Usher is a story about people who don’t find that catharsis, and as a result, end up in a more traditional — and therefore moral — horror story.

This week, Bottoms, the raunchy high school comedy starring Rachel Sennott (Bodies Bodies Bodies) and Ayo Edebiri (The Bear), is finally available to rent on VOD.

Developers on the Unity Pro and Unity Enterprise plans will only see fees starting with the next version of Unity, which is called 2023 LTS and is expected to ship in 2024.

They’ll be able to choose either the Runtime Fee as calculated by the installs or a 2.5% revenue share.

Unity also vowed that it will always charge developers the lower amount between the revenue share and the Runtime Fee.

Games on subscription services, like Xbox Game Pass or Netflix Games, will have to pay the Runtime Fee, Unity clarified.

The response so far to Friday’s update has been much more mixed than the overwhelmingly negative response to the initial Runtime Fee announcement.

And that’s because Peter Dinklage just doesn’t get as many comedy roles as he should.

Dinklage has always been a fairly serious actor.

The Toxic Avenger makes a solid argument for him as a comedic actor, though.

Hapless janitor Winston Gooze (Dinklage) finds out he has a terminal brain disease caused by working in Bacon’s pollution factory.

“Letting go and letting loose” is really the theme of the new Toxic Avenger.

Netflix’s new Spy Kids movie bears the burden of a million expectations.

But that’s OK, because Spy Kids: Armageddon recaptures the magic for a new generation.

But the Spy Kids franchise is fundamentally about the kids, not the adults.

The original Spy Kids deals with self-esteem, secrets, and trust.

Mortal Kombat goes back to its roots with Mortal Kombat 1, a fresh reboot that delivers some of the most striking visuals seen from a fighting game to date.

And in fairness this is also a higher resolution range than the 540p to 720p we had in Mortal Kombat 11 on Switch.

In the end, the new mechanic of Mortal Kombat 1 is the element that tanks Switch's performance.

Oddly enough, it stands in contrast with the Switch version of Mortal Kombat 11 back in 2019.

As for Mortal Kombat 1 today, the level of optimisation - the balance between visuals and performance - is not on the same level.

What is new is a focus on higher-end sim racing gear, which this year includes a direct drive Pro Racing Wheel ($1000/£1000), load cell Pro Racing Pedals ($350/£350) and a branded Logitech G Edition Playseat Trophy racing cockpit ($600/£529).

It's worth noting that the Pro Racing Wheel is available in PS/PC and Xbox/PC iterations, so you'll need to choose the model that fits your console of choice.

После массовых возмущений со стороны разработчиков Unity представила обновленную версию своей ценовой политики.

Runtime Fee будет взиматься только с клиентов Unity Pro и Enterprise.

Сама система при этом должна стать прозрачнее.

переустановки и другие случаи облагаться комиссией не будут;▪️Unity Personal останется бесплатным планом и не будет облагаться Runtime Fee, к тому же разработчики теперь смогут убрать сплеш-скрин «Made with Unity».

Чтобы помочь разработчикам лучше понять новую ценовую политику, Unity также запустила специальный онлайн-калькулятор для примерного расчета как процента от выручки, так и платы за установки.

Cyberpunk 2077 переживает всплеск популярности.

21 сентября CD PROJEKT выпустила масштабный патч 2.0, после чего онлайн игры в Steam подскочил более чем в четыре раза.

Если 20 сентября в Steam-версии Cyberpunk 2077 одновременно находилось максимум 21 307 человек, то 21 сентября — уже 90 241 человек.

26 сентября для Cyberpunk 2077 выйдет сюжетное дополнение Phantom Liberty, которое уже получило хорошие оценки прессы.

Патч 2.0 затронул практически все аспекты Cyberpunk 2077.

Команда RuStore надеется увидеть значительный прирост ежемесячно активной аудитории (MAU) стора.

Она ждет, что к концу 2023-го RuStore будут регулярно пользоваться 25 млн человек.

Для понимания масштаба: по оценкам аналитиков Mediascope, в августе MAU RuStore составляло 17 млн человек.

Таким прогнозом поделился операционный директор RuStore Илья Сверчков в комментарии «ТАСС».

Он также отметил, что сейчас наибольшим спросом в сторе пользуются финансовые приложения.

Утром 22 сентября у Activision Blizzard подорожали акций.

Как заметил Bloomberg, на предрыночных торгах их стоимость выросла на 2,2% до $94,39 за штуку.

Так инвесторы отреагировали на предварительное согласие британского регулятора одобрить продажу Activision Blizzard корпорации Microsoft.

В утреннем пресс-релизе ведомство объявило, что предложение Microsoft продать Ubisoft права на распространение игр Activision Blizzard в облачных сервисах «в значительной степени снимает высказанные ранее опасения и открывает путь к завершению сделки».

Отметим, что в случае успешного завершения сделки Microsoft заплатит за каждую акцию Activision Blizzard всего на 61 цент больше — $95.

В последний раз продажи Valheim раскрывались в апреле 2022-го.

Тогда они составляли 10 млн копий.

Известно, что январе 2023-го его продажи составляли 5,5 млн копий.

▪️Продажи симулятора строительства фабрик Satisfactory достигли 5 млн копий.

В июле 2020-го они составляли 1,3 млн копий.

Управление по конкуренции и рынкам Великобритании (CMA) предварительно сообщило, что больше не считает сделку между Microsoft и Activision Blizzard угрозой для конкуренции на рынке облачных игр.

Благодаря этому соглашению Ubisoft получит права на распространение игр Activision Blizzard через «облако».

Как считает CMA, это сделает французскую компанию ключевым поставщиком на облачном рынке.

Ранее британский регулятор опасался, что эту позицию займет Microsoft.

В своем заявлении CMA указало, что у ведомства остался ряд вопросов к Microsoft.

На годовом собрании Embracer Group рассказала сколько лет ее акционерам.

Согласно ее подсчетам, почти 700 из них не исполнилось даже 11 лет.

21 сентября в Embracer Group состоялось годовое собрание.

Во время сессии вопросов и ответов глава шведского холдинга Ларс Вингефорс (Lars Wingefors) назвал «безумной» сумму, которую компания тратит на комиссии Steam, PlayStation Store и другим игровым сторам.

По словам Вингефорса, сейчас разработка игр обходится Embracer Group дешевле, чем выплата комиссий.

Он также отметил, что новая программа эксклюзивности игр в Epic Games Store (прим., в рамках нее Epic Games Store первые полгода не берет комиссию) повышает конкурентоспособность платформы.

Как считает глава Embracer Group, конкуренция между сторами — это хорошо.

Реструктуризация в Embracer Group приведет к закрытию еще ряда студий, сообщил на годовом собрании глава холдинга Ларс Вингефорс (Lars Wingefors).

Ранее Reuters писал, что Embracer Group думает над продажей Gearbox Entertainment.

Сейчас Embracer Group ищет инвесторов, которые согласятся вложиться в конкретные проекты.

Напомним, реструктуризация в Embracer Group продлится до конца марта 2024-го.

В рамках нее холдинг уже закрыл Volition Games и Campfire Cabal, а также провел увольнения в Gearbox Publishing, Beamdog, Rainbow Studios и Crystal Dynamics.

14 сентября состоялся глобальный релиз мобильной AR-игры Monster Hunter Now.

Другие показатели Monster Hunter Now официально не раскрываются.

Согласно данным сервиса AppMagic, на сегодняшний день Monster Hunter Now заработала $4,87 млн.

Больше всего она выручила в Японии ($3 млн), Гонконге ($677,5 тысяч) и США (460,3 тысячи).

Напомним, Monster Hunter Now — фритуплейная игра, в которой игроки ищут монстров в реальном мире и сражаются с ними.

Финская студия Spectarium, основанная топ-менеджерами Plarium и Janeious, закрыла посевной раунд финансирования.

Деньги пойдут на создание мифической RPG под названием Myths, построенной на ИИ-движке.

Она сможет учитывать действия пользователей и меняться под них.

«В результате у одного игрока сюжет будет вращаться вокруг битв с боссами в царстве Валгаллы, а у другого — вокруг загадок в храме майя», — пояснили в Spectarium.

Spectarium называет Myths кроссплатформенной игрой, поэтому она, вероятно, выйдет на всех основных платформах: мобайле, PC и консолях.

Аналитическая компания Niko Partners прогнозирует, что в 2027 году в стране будет на 343% больше геймеров, чем в 2017 году.

▪️Согласно подсчетам аналитиков, в 2017 году в Индии было 144,9 млн геймеров.

К концу 2023-го их станет уже 444,4 млн, а к концу 2027-го — 641,2 млн.

Ожидается, что в 2023 году ARPPU (сумма, которую в среднем потратит один платящий пользователей) составит $6,38.

Unity has unveiled its planned changes to the controversial Runtime Fee policy that would charge developers fees on a per-install basis.

Unity Create president Marc Whitten detailed the changes in a blog post, starting with the removal of the Runtime Fee for any games built on a Unity Personal license.

Additionally, the company is changing some of the Unity Personal terms.

Also, Unity Personal developers will no longer need to feature the Made With Unity splash screen on their work.

Unity Pro and Unity Enterprise developers are being given the option of avoiding the Runtime Fee in favor of a 2.5% revenue share for the company, based on a developer's self-reported revenues.

If AI tools devalue what those creators produce, there will be less incentive for creators to create on Roblox.

As for how that disruption will impact creators, Roblox thinks it has it all under control.

The Xbox Series S is more popular than the Xbox Series X, internal data from Microsoft has shown.

According to a redacted document leaked by the FTC, as spotted by IGN, 74.8% of Xbox Series owners have the Series S, while 25.1% own the Series X.

Microsoft is also planning a refresh of the Series S, providing 1TB storage with faster wifi and reduced power for the same price as the current base model.

While the Series S is less powerful, it's the most affordable of the current Xbox consoles.

The base model costs $299 and the 1TB edition retails at $349.99, whereas the Series X costs $499 and includes a disc drive, increased processing power, and higher resolution.

This latter is like some kind of memetic zombie that stalks the Xbox leadership from generation to generation.

The hardware and software strategy outlined for Xbox is normal almost to the point of being traditional – which is quite a departure from how the company was framing its console strategy a few years ago.

From the consumer standpoint, that had two material outcomes on the Xbox strategy.

But for now, it appears that both Sony and Microsoft …

If Microsoft is unable to complete the merger by this time, it will pay Activision Blizzard a fee of $4.5 billion and need to renegotiate the deal.

He originally joined Ubisoft in 1999 and has held various roles over the years, such as creative director of The Crew and served in the same position for Tom Clancy's The Division and its sequel.

There are so many incredible stories to tell, places to explore, and people to protect," said Gerighty.

Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 is out soon and looking very good, with a ton of hype surrounding the PS5 exclusive open-world superhero game.

And Peter Parker actor Yuri Lowenthal has a message to those fans: Get over it.

Instead, a lot of people got very upset that developer Insomniac Games decided to change the face of Peter Parker, making the character look younger and more like Tom Holland in the process.

And Lowenthal is “tired of talking about it after all this time” and just wants fans to move on.

However, he does see one positive to all the backlash and continued demands for the original face to return.

You probably saw a ton of headlines about Xbox leaks this week: new hardware, upcoming games, Game Pass costs, acquisition strategies.

It all began with gaming's Deep Learning Super Sampling, or DLSS, a technique focused on accelerating game performance with the power of AI (specifically, a trained neural network).

Over time, NVIDIA evolved DLSS.

I think we're going to have increased realism and also hopefully make it cheaper to make awesome AAA environments by moving to much, much more neural rendering.

It's not far-fetched at all to imagine that in around ten years, DLSS could be capable of entirely replacing the traditional rendering methods.

We'll keep a close eye on the new research papers as they are the best indication of what's to come from NVIDIA in the field of neural rendering.

A new entry in the Star Wars Jedi series is currently in the works, according to the main character Cal Kestis' voice actor.

That a new Star Wars Jedi game is coming isn't surprising at all, as the series was confirmed to be envisioned as a trilogy, and Survivor doesn't exactly bring closure to Cal Kestis' story.

It's September of 2023, and we finally have our next PCIe 5.0-based M.2 storage module for review. ADATA was kind enough to send the Legend 970 in 1TB flavor. The new drive utilizes a Phison E26 controller with speeds listed up to a blistering fast 10,000 MB/s on reads and writes (2 TB version) and comes with its own heatsink and active cooling to help prevent throttling. Read on to see the specifications and see how the 1 TB performed in our test suite.

XPG has just launched a new comic series called Xtreme Saga - The Trials of Mera. While not PC-related, this sci-fi adventure is based on XPG's cartoon avatar, Mera. The comic is an adaptation of XPG's Xtreme Saga novels and follows Mera through her struggles to save her family. A link to the first three issues has been provided in the press release below.

Since the premiere of DDR5 memory, Essencore has been playing safe, and we haven't seen KLEVV-branded memory modules at very high frequencies or very tight timings. Recently everything has changed, and the expanded product portfolio now includes memory kits up to 8000MT/s and also lower frequency kits at tight timings. In this review, we will focus on the fastest available KLEVV memory kit, which seems the most interesting for gamers and overclockers. The tested memory kit is designed for the latest Intel chipsets and supports XMP, so our tests will be performed on the ASUS Maximus Z790 APEX motherboard, which shouldn't limit the hidden potential of the KLEVV CRAS XR5 memory kit.

The Spatium M480 Pro is MSI's latest high-speed M.2 NVMe SSD to hit the market. Just like its two predecessors, the Spatium M480 and M480 Play is based on Phison's E18 controller. We reviewed the original M480 in August of 2021 and we were highly impressed with its performance. Several improvements have been implemented in the Pro edition so let's start by looking at the features and specifications.

Nvidia has just released its latest GeForce Game Ready Driver, version 536.99 WHQL. This new release brings improved DLSS support for Baldur's Gate 3, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and Gord. Additionally, updates to GeForce Experience optimize several other games like Exoprimal, Lost Judgement, Remnant 2, and more. We have included Nvidia's press release below with links to download the new driver.

Enermax just announced its Aquafusion ADV AIO is now available in white. Now there are six options available to choose from: 120 mm, 240 mm, and 360 mm each in black or white. Paired with Enermax's popular PWM-controlled SquA RGB ADV 120 mm fans, your next build can look cool and stay cool. The Aquafusion features a dual-chamber pump for a longer, more reliable lifespan. Pricing starts at just $69.99 on Amazon for the 120 mm. For additional information, check out Enermax's press release below.

Today on the review table is MSI's MAG Forge 112R mid-tower chassis. The MAG series are known to be built for gamers and tend to be more budget conscientious. That is exactly where the MAG Forge 112R falls in MSI's product stack. At just $89.99 at Amazon and Newegg, This feature rich case may have just what you are looking for in your next build. In this review we breakdown each of the features offered by this case as well as testing out its thermal capacity and determine if it's worthy of the Overclockers.com Stamp of Approval.

In the last few days, Nvidia presented RTX 4060, the most affordable Lovelace GPU. The first RTX 4060 which arrived to us is MSI RTX 4060 Gaming X 8G, so the improved version, which at first sight seems well-balanced for less demanding gamers. As always with MSI products, expectations are high. To know what more offers the new MSI graphics card, you have to stay with us and read our review.

Phanteks has just launched its latest chassis, the Enthoo Pro 2 Server Edition. Built on the Enthoo Pro 2 platform, the Server Edition allows for up to 11 PCI devices for massive computing capability. Additionally, there is SSI-EEB motherboard compatibility and room for multiple storage devices. Two versions are available, a solid side panel model with an MSRP of $159.99, and a Tempered Glass version for $169.99. The Enthoo Pro 2 Server Edition chassis is slated to be available sometime this month.

Montech just launched the AIR 903 BASE and AIR 903 MAX mid-tower chassis. With a focus on airflow, the AIR 903 BASE features three pre-installed 140 mm PWM fans. The MAX comes with four, three addressable RGB at the front and a non-ARGB at the rear. These mid-tower chassis are capable of housing large E-ATX motherboards and "any flagship RTX 4090 GPU". Pricing starts at just $65 for BASE model in black. With the most expensive model, the white MAX, at only $79, these are priced to be within anyone's budget.

Corsair has just launched the Darkstar Wireless Gaming Mouse. The Darkstar is a highly customizable wireless mouse that features 15 programmable buttons and Bluetooth connectivity. Precision is accomplished with Corsair's MARKSMAN 26,000 DPI optical sensor and 2,000 Hz hyper-polling. You can get your own Darkstar Wireless Gaming Mouse directly from Corsair for $169.99. Below is Corsair's official press release.

With PCIe Gen 5 SSDs finally rolling out into the mainstream market, Corsair was kind enough to send out its flagship MP700 for review. This represents the very best Corsair (or anyone) has to offer for M.2 storage. It boasts the new NVMe 2.0 interface, 2 TB of capacity, and a blazing fast 10,000 MB/s sequential read and write speeds. In this review, we see just how much of an improvement this PCIe Gen5 drive is when compared to its Gen4 predecessors. Finally, we will answer the long-standing question: Is it worth the extra cost to upgrade?

I have an AMD GPU and CPU, so looked high and low for performance numbers for turning on Rebar (SAM) for AMD GPUS for Starfield, and found not a single mention.

In Honkai: Star Rail, you will step into the shoes of the protagonist and embark on an odyssey across the cosmos aboard the Astral Express.

In the world of Honkai: Star Rail, your adventure kicks off at the Herta Space Station, a futuristic location packed with all sorts of high-tech gizmos.

NYT Connections hint today: Sunday, September 24Let's help you un-stick yourself and save those mistakes.

NYT Connections answer today: Sunday, September 24 (#105)Everything you need to win's right here.

Connections also clearly owes a debt to Wordle, the hit puzzle game that the New York Times bought in 2022.

The rows also show what order you solved the Connections puzzle in.

The rows aren't all created equal: the New York Times ranks them from "straightforward" to "tricky" starting with yellow and progressing to purple.

Players did notice it, however, because some of them believe the original model was intended to be an Elon Musk cameo.

According to a recent biography of the world's wealthiest person by Walter Isaacson, Musk showed up to CD Projekt's office while wielding a 200-year-old gun to demand a cameo in Cyberpunk 2077.

When one Twitter user posted before-and-after screenshots with the lament, "Oh my god they removed the Elon Musk cameo from the Corpo opening in Cyberpunk 2077", senior quest designer Patrick K. Mills couldn't help but comment.

"That wasn't Elon musk, it looks nothing like him", he wrote.

Today's Wordle was one of those where I knew I had the answer right in front of me, I just couldn't quite see it yet.

Today's Wordle answer(Image credit: Future)What is the #827 Wordle answer?

They are also a good way to eliminate guesses for today's Wordle, as the answer is unlikely to be repeated.

Pool of Radiance, the 1998 videogame that kicked off the Gold Box series, was also released as a pen-and-paper adventure called Ruins of Adventure in the same year.

The next D&D supplement is Planescape: Adventures in the Multiverse, and it includes at least a few things players of 1999's Planescape: Torment will recognize.

What's more, the supplement's adventure book, Turn of Fortune's Wheel, opens with a familiar scene.

"Fans of the Planescape: Torment videogame will see all sorts of nods to that story in the circumstances of the way the adventure begins," senior game designer Justice Arman said in a deep dive, "but also through the core mechanic that is happening throughout."

Planescape:…

Beamdog, the studio founded by former BioWare developers Trent Oster and Cameron Tofer, is best known for re-releases of CRPGs like Baldur's Gate and Baldur's Gate 2, Planescape: Torment, Neverwinter Nights, and Icewind Dale.

It was acquired by Embracer Group earlier this year, and its latest game, Mythforce (which is basically Vermintide if it looked like a He-Man cartoon) came out of early access this month.

Embracer Group went on an acquisition spree in 2021 and 2022, snaffling up Gearbox, Saber Interactive, Koch Media (rebranded as Plaion), Crystal Dynamics, Eidos-Montréal, Square Enix Montreal, Middle-earth Enterprises, Tripwire, and others.

Saints Row studio Volition was closed down, …

A second, longer trailer also released goes more in-depth with gameplay footage of the Icarus robot defending its factory from attack.

The trailer shows off features like different types of turrets, expansion to new worlds, planetary defense shields, attacking Dark Fog-held worlds, Dark Fog spcae stations, automatic rebuilding via drone, and more.

Defending against those will require planetary defense shields, which can be built and expanded until they cover entire worlds.

It's actually kind of exciting as someone who was initially skeptical about adding a real-time strategy element to Dyson Sphere Program, a game I mostly enjoyed because of the sprawling connection of logistics it let me c…

Vampire: The Masquerade Redemption - Reawakened, the mod project to rebuild the first VtM videogame in Skyrim, has shown off new gameplay of its Prague early game.

We last checked in on Redemption - Reawakened a year ago.

That's the original game on the left, Reawakened on the right.

The team's doing a great job with Prague itself⁠—the city feels more medieval than high fantasy, with muddy, twisting streets and believably Bohemian architecture.

Redemption - Reawakened currently has no set release date, but you can follow the project's progress on Galejro's YouTube and Twitter pages.

The other's a blessing for those Dwarf Fortress architects who'd really like to make use of marksdwarves—some strange bug was keeping them from properly picking up ammunition when assigned a custom kit.

It also just wouldn't be a Dwarf Fortress update without some of those extremely funny, strange out of context patch notes that just shine.

The other big fix here is important stuff, as it was discovered by Dwarf Fortress' to be a related cause of big slowdowns by that second programmer they hired.

With Linux handled we're going full-on for adventure mode—Dwarf Fortress' world spanning roguelike exploration RPG arm.

You can find Dwarf Fortress on Steam.

Your job each outing is to pick one of several employees to act as "on-site manager" for your demonic tower which is also an escape vector from hell.

Your job is to build up a deck of cards to deploy and empower towers and demonic garrisons that'll gun down/burn alive/explode those sinful souls from getting out of hell.

It has decent build variety, and post-launch updates have immediately addressed my big dislikes from early plays—so I'm ready to recommend it if that sounds fun.

It's not a Slay the Spire level of deck variation, nor are the deck ideas particularly brilliant, but the hook's there for me.

You can find Heretic's Fork for $10 US on Steam.

CD Projekt's retro game-focused digital storefront, GOG, has been with us for a whopping 15 years now.

To celebrate, GOG's having a storewide sale and giving away free copies of the 2013 point-and-click adventure game, The Night of the Rabbit.

You can claim your copy by logging into GOG on a browser and scrolling down to the Night of the Rabbit banner on the store's homepage.

The sale is no slouch either: GOG touts Nightdive's System Shock at $30 (25% off) and Divinity: Original Sin 2 for $15 (65% off).

For my own library, I've opted for the "GOG classic" of ten old-ass games for under 50 bucks total.

Launch week server headaches have rankled everyone trying to play Payday 3, but the most frustrated are those who don't even want to play the new co-op heist shooter online.

Payday 3's always-online construction means that solo players still have to connect to the matchmaking server to start private heists, which has subjected them to the same errors and long queues as multiplayer heisters.

On Steam, Payday 3 currently has a "Mostly Negative" user review rating, and discontent over its always-online design is the primary thumbs down motivator.

Cyberpunk 2077's cheats and console commands have a tumultuous history.

When Cyberpunk first released, you were able to enter cheats through the debug console, bending Night City to your will.

Cyber Engine Tweaks has been updated alongside Cyberpunk 2077 with each patch, and as of this writing supports patch 1.63.

So temporarily, there's no way to use any Cyberpunk 2077 cheats or console commands with version 2.0.

As soon as Cyber Engine Tweaks is updated to support 2.0 and digs up new console commands, we'll publish the list with instructions on how to use them right here.

Has 2D Mario really changed Super Mario World?

I'm a huge Zelda fan and I've been wondering why Nintendo haven't released Twilight Princess and Wind Waker on the Switch.

Here's a slightly adapted version of Franc's poll...Why haven't Nintendo released Twilight Princess and Wind Waker on the Switch?

We're running out of months in 2023 and there's still no sign of Hollow Knight: Silksong arriving on the Nintendo Switch any time soon.

With this in mind, fans have been searching for any sign of a possible upcoming release, and it seems the game's web and store assets have been updated and changed this week.

As highlighted by SteamDB (via 'Wario64' on social media), these are the first significant backend updates to the game page on Steam since earlier this year.

Of course, this doesn't necessarily mean an announcement or anything similar is on the horizon.

The last official update was earlier this year in May when a Team Cherry representative mentioned how Silksong would no longer make th…

It's time to witness a clash of the covers as we dive into another edition of Box Art Brawl.

We're keeping the GBA vibes going this week with another title that will soon be coming to Switch (albeit in the NSO Expansion Pack variety) as we look at two different pieces of cover art for Kirby & the Amazing Mirror.

Sonic Superstars arrives on the Switch next month and ahead of launch Sega has shared some brand new details about the game's multiplayer 'Battle Mode' feature.

This mode will allow up to eight players online, or four players locally to go head-to-head in a variety of challenges.

In this mode, players will take control of a customised Metal Fighter and compete to win three rounds of randomly selected battle stages and modes.

In the online mode, players will be able to earn medals and use them to purchase custom parts for their Metal Fighter.

As for the local mode, apart from challenging three players in split-screen, you'll be given the option to play against AI.

While we've already been given the rundown about the Switch performance in Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol.

Across all platforms Metal Gear Solid will run at 30fps with an output resolution of 1920 x 1080p (the exception being handheld mode which runs at 1280 x 720p).

As for Metal Gear Solid 2 and Metal Gear Solid 3, the Switch version matches the resolution of other platforms in docked mode (1920 x 1080p) but is reduced from 60fps to 30fps across both modes.

This is Tears of the Kingdom, for goodness' sake — Breath of the Wild 2!

Tears of the Kingdom dominated social media in the weeks following its release, but platforms were now far more concerned with the likes of Starfield, Mortal Kombat 1, and Cyberpunk 2077 (again).

What I realised was that I simply couldn’t escape Tears of the Kingdom back when it launched, even when I wasn’t playing it.

TV commercials, billboards, internet ads… But mostly, of course, social media.

So when I revisited Tears of the Kingdom after some time away, without the constant background noise that accompanied its launch, I felt revitalised.
