Remember in 2006 when we got a Scarface game set after the ending of the classic '80s gangster flick? It was a weird setup, but the end result was a slightly clunky, yet kind of fun GTA-like open-world game. Apparently it did well enough that a sequel began development, but it was never finished. However, new footage…

Minecraft is still one of the biggest games in the world more than a decade after its launch. At the same time, the justices of the United States Supreme Court are all over the news lately. It's a no-brainer: Let's put those judges in Minecraft!

Last night, the creative team behind a highly anticipated fan-made Persona 5 anthology zine announced that its project lead had confessed to spending $27,600 CAD (approximately $21,300 USD) of the zine's funds for "personal use." The money was originally intended for printing and shipping unofficial art and…

     The next Stardew Valley update is made for modders

A new Stardew Valley update is coming, and it's made for fans and makers of Stardew mods. Game creator Eric Barone made the unofficial announcement on Twitter in response to a question from RetroBoyYTBruh asking whether fans can expect new updates and if Haunted Chocolatier is in any way connected to Stardew Valley. RetroBoy asked about two future updates, and Barone actually confirmed that he's working on both Stardew 1.6 and Stardew 1.7, though what they may contain is still a bit of a mystery.

     This Cyberpunk 2077 mod could boost performance on lower-spec PCs

AMD's new FidelityFX Super Resolution 2.0 has only been out for a little over a month, so there aren't too many games that support it yet. One Cyberpunk 2077 modder is trying to change that, however, with a homemade implementation of AMD's fast new image-upscaling technique in the RPG game. From the sounds of things, it's actually working too.

The FidelityFX Super Resolution 2.0 mod for Cyberpunk 2077, created by prolific Cyberpunk modder PotatoOfDoom, replaces the existing Nvidia DLSS temporal upscaling in Cyberpunk 2077 with AMD FSR 2.0. Because of the way both FSR and DLSS works, it's a fairly straightforward process, at least in theory: you just need to remove the DLSS dynamic link library (or .dll) files Cyberpunk 2077 uses with new ones that translate DLSS to FSR 2.0 commands.

     No, Lost Ark pay to win cosmetics aren't coming to the game

Lost Ark pay-to-win microtransactions won't be a thing, it turns out. Smilegate and Amazon Games Studios published a blog post about the MMO game's delayed June update on June 23 and outlined the new Yoz's Jar system, where cosmetics of different types would give players a 1% or 2% attack, intelligence, and dexterity buffs depending on their rarity. While that's not likely to turn the tides of any PvP encounter, that's not really the point.

     Dyson Sphere Program's enemies look like a dense black fog

Things have been fairly peaceful so far in Dyson Sphere Program, the city-building game about creating superstructures that harvest the energy of stars. But in the not-so-distant future, Dyson Sphere Program enemies will be showing up, and they take the form of a black fog that consumes whole planets, always in search of more energy.

Developer Youthcat Studio says the enemy faction, which it's currently working on, is known as the Dark Fog. As it turns out, the Dark Fog is an offshoot of the same self-replicating AI that your mechs and settlements are plugged into, and at one time helped feed resources to the CentreBrain just like you do.

     Fortnite could be getting a new wave of KAWS skins

Fortnite isn't just about dressing up your character, though you'd be forgiven for thinking otherwise. With yet more Naruto characters in the item shop and even the likes of Spider-Man making an appearance, it's easy to assume that the game is just a giant, nerdy wardrobe. It is, but it's also one of the best battle royale games around, but that hasn't stopped Epic from constantly setting up cool new skins for us all to wear.

     20220618205430 1 (copy)Not content to rest on its laurels AI: The Somnium Files – nirvanA Initiative has another rough puzzle to throw your way. Once Mizuki finds a familiar corpse in the park, you'll see that there are three letters on both the front and the back of the monument the body is sticking to. The left side says AEF, while the right says RLE. If you've been paying attention, you can already solve this puzzle just by looking at the letters available to you. What prominently featured thing in the game has contained these letters? If that doesn't ring a bell, then no matter, because you can solve it the old-fashioned way. Go into the nearby building after searching it with your X-ray vision to find a balloon. Inside is a set of intersecting arrows. You'll want to combine the arrow placement with the letters themselves. Setting the two sets side by side looks like this: A             R E              L F              E Looking at the arrows is tellin...

     20220615234626 1If you're like me, you weren't expecting actual puzzles in AI: The Somnium Files – nirvanA Initiative. Upon investigating the Naix President, Tokiko Shigure's, office and reenacting the steps to open a secret passageway, the game throws a curveball: solve this puzzle or turn the game off. It's a bit jarring, seeing as you only got to take a brief look at the numbers and nonuple X rhombus before being told that you need to figure a code out. Unlike some other puzzles in the game, even if you can't figure it out, it won't give you anything more than what you need to solve the puzzle. Solving it isn't actually difficult at all. Before I straight-up give you the answer, I'll break down how you're meant to go about solving it, in case you want to understand what exactly you're meant to do to come to the proper conclusion. You'll see the hint in the image below. The code has seven digits and there are seven rows of numb...

     Halo Master Chief Collection protagonist Spartan343 Industries has not earned a lot of goodwill from fans as of late. Although Halo Infinite earned a fairly positive reception at launch, that initial honeymoon phase ended quickly, as players grew annoyed over the game's lackluster multiplayer offerings and sparse updates. Recent PR blunders, such as a recent cosmetic made to celebrate Juneteenth that used an offensive name, did not help matters. Now, it looks like 343 has committed itself to harming its reputation even further, as a recent community update revealed that the developer has considered implementing microtransactions into Halo: The Master Chief Collection. Although the community update mostly covers current and future additions to Halo Infinite and Halo: The Master Chief Collection, the microtransaction news easily overshadows them. These microtransactions, if implemented, would come in the form of purchasable Spartan Points, previously known as Season Points.   Why now? The update tries to justify this p...

     20220622195756 1Resident Evil Village launched with ray tracing, which made it the first game in the series to have the feature. However, it's no longer on its lonesome, as the remakes of Resident Evils 2 and 3, along with Resident Evil 7, have all now received the same treatment. Updates for all three games rolled out last week and, naturally, there were some issues from people playing the games on weaker hardware. Capcom quickly responded by offering a branch containing previous versions of the games. This piece compares the main branch versions of all three games with ray tracing both off and on, as well as pictures of each game's menu. As all three Resident Evil games run on the same engine and received the exact same updates, it isn't any surprise that the offerings here have parity across games. Across the three, ray tracing can't be turned on and off while in-game, so settings can only be altered in the main menu. Naturally, this made taking exact comparison shots hard...
