Kotaku Friday, December 31, 2021 7:10 PM We're closing out the year with a little bit of advice, some utility, and maybe even some mirth. In this line of work, we try out a ton of products, some of which you read about on this very site. Not all of them, though.

PCGamesN Friday, December 31, 2021 4:11 PM  We're leaving 2021 with mixed feelings. While the great chip shortage rages on, making it nearly impossible to grab a new graphics card at retail price, it's not all bad news. Brands are still putting out some of the best hardware we've seen to date, from lightweight gaming mice to RTX-adorned gaming laptops and CPUs that usher in support for next-generation technologies. We saw the introduction of DDR5 RAM and some musings about PCIe 5.0, despite Intel only just joining the PCIe 4.0 bandwagon earlier this year. Eve and Asus duked it out to debut the first gaming monitor with HDMI 2.1 and 4K at 144Hz has since become more widely available as a result. And AIO coolers got even cooler, with the MSI MEG CoreLiquid S360 bringing a screen that also plays .mp4 videos as well as gifs. With some products barely even touching shelves, we've avoided the fanfare of an awards ceremony, but still wanted to showcase our favourite hardware from the year.

PC Invasion - FeedDDD Friday, December 31, 2021 6:00 PM  Earlier this year, Sega, for the company's 60th anniversary, released a new version of Virtua Fighter 5 Final Showdown called Virtua Fighter 5 Ultimate Showdown. This re-release of the 2006 original featured updated graphics utilizing the Dragon Engine that powers the Yakuza series. The game released for free on PlayStation Plus, and according to the series producer, Seiji Aoki, it was a huge success. So much so that a Virtua Fighter 5 Ultimate Showdown PC port is now a distinct possibility. In an interview with Japanese publication Dengeki Online, Aoki goes over the game's quick development time. The team had just a little over a year to get the game out the door in time for Sega's 60th anniversary. If you have been around the fighting game scene for awhile, you have probably heard of the infamous "Capcom Test." This refers to when a developer releases something small to gauge interest on a possible, much bigger follow up. The biggest example being the... |
