It's August 2022, and by now you've no doubt read (or more likely seen) something about AI art by now. Whether it's random jokes made for Twitter or paintings that look like they were made by actual human beings, artificial intelligence's ability to create art has exploded onto the scene over the last few months, and…

In a recent post on the PlayStation Blog, the developers behind I Was A Teenage Exocolonist presented their first game as "Blue hair and pronouns," a reference to a popular meme within the LGBTQ community. I respect the guts it takes to do that. We live in a world where putting your pronouns on your social media can…

Earlier today, Sony announced that in most regions, the PlayStation 5 would see a price increase as a result of inflation. In response to this news, people began questioning whether other console makers would enact similar price increases. The answer, at least for now, seems to be no. But both Nintendo and Microsoft…

In the year since it's been publicly playable, the multiplayer shooter Halo Infinite hasn't received a single new weapon. But if recent leaks are to be believed, a new gun—the so-called bandit rifle, which looks a lot like the DMR from prior Halo games—could join Infinite's armory soon. Naturally, players are already…

     A Plague Tale: Requiem intertwines gameplay with character growth

Asobo Studio went to great lengths to tie A Plague Tale: Requiem's character development to its gameplay style, lead level designer Kevin Pinson tells PCGamesN about the upcoming rat game ahead of its October release date. At the heart of Hugo and Amicia's story isn't just the fight to survive. It's the struggle to balance Hugo's increasing control over his rat powers with Amicia's desire for them both to lead a normal life.

     Fake Roblox events are a major problem, YouTuber says

Fake Roblox events may pose a major issue on the sandbox game platform, according to Roblox YouTuber SharkBlox. These events initially appear to be legitimate, but their developers have created crafty workarounds to get users to spend Robux on avatar items within the experience - even though the items don't actually exist.

     New Tower of Fantasy updates will emphasize unique MMO features

Upcoming Tower of Fantasy updates have a lot riding on their shoulders to help distinguish the RPG game from its competition. Hotta Studio billed it as an MMO, but whether from its traversal mechanics, open world, or gacha-style character system, the most common comparison people make about Tower of Fantasy is with HoYoverse's Genshin Impact. Dmitrii Lazarev and Deniz Kirca with Tower of Fantasy publisher Level Infinite tell PCGamesN at Gamescom that players should remember the game has only been available in the West for about two weeks.

The AMD RX 6700 is retailing for £300 right now, a great price for a strong 1440p graphics card with support for hardware-accelerated ray tracing and FSR 2.0. The card in question is a PowerColor Fighter model, with a simple two-fan design that should be more than capable of dealing with this mid-range card's modest 175W TDP.

The LG C2 OLED probably isn't your first thought when you're considering a new desktop monitor, but its incredible image quality and new smaller 42-inch or 48-inc sizes make it a surprisingly valid choice. Right now you can pick up this monitor in either size for under £1000, depending on where you shop, a price that puts it make more affordable than smaller monitors with worse HDR performance - and that makes it well worth considering.

Not that all the other wars were just a bit of goofing around, but World War One – a conflict remembered more for its bleak, arduous trench warfare than any great triumph over evil – seems like a particularly unusual source of inspiration for a strategy game that will, presumably, be played for fun. Nonetheless, The Great War: Western Front, a combination of macro planning and tactical RTS battling revealed this week at Gamescom, has elected to lean right into WW1's complexities and difficulties rather than dance around them.

Developers Petroglyph have gone for historical accuracy in various ways, senior designer Chris Becker and audio director Frank Klepacki explain to me at a hands-off demo in Cologne. The soundtrack will even include licensed music from the era. But something they want to really hammer home is the brutality of the war: territory won't be won in heroic pushes but slowly and bloodily, while collapsing morale is as much a danger as any advancing army.

     Sonic Frontiers cyberspace Green HillOne of the many, many points of contention among fans when it comes to Sonic Frontiers has to do with its cyberspace stages. Some of them reimagine past levels such as Green Hill and Chemical Plant, which many fans rightly see as redundant since the last decade has seen most Sonic installments doing the exact same thing. On the other hand, several fans stated that they would find the reuse of level themes acceptable as long as these stages boasted original layouts. Unfortunately for the latter group, it looks like the cyberspace stages in Sonic Frontiers copy not just past themes, but past level layouts as well. It all started yesterday when footage of the Gamescom demo first dropped online. When analyzing footage of the first cyberspace stage, which uses Green Hill's aesthetics, eagle-eyed fans noticed that its layout closely matches that of Windmill Isle Act 1, the tutorial stage of Sonic Unleashed. Note that this side-by-side comparison edits parts of the Frontiers foot...

     Epic Games Store free Shadow of the Tomb Raider Lara CroftCurrently, players can claim both the "Bungie 30th Anniversary" Pack for Destiny 2 and Ring of Pain for free on the Epic Games Store until the end of the month. As soon as that's over, the Epic Games Store plans on giving away two games and a DLC pack for next week's free offer — Shadow of the Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition, the "Armazillo DLC Pack" for Knockout City, and Submerged: Hidden Depths. This sizeable free offer will begin on September 1 and last until September 8. Those who have paid close attention to AAA gaming news over the past several years will likely already know about Shadow of the Tomb Raider, but you may not have quite as much familiarity with Velan Studios' Knockout City. Essentially, it functions as a colorful, over-the-top take on dodgeball that went free-to-play back in June. The "Armazillo DLC Pack" included in the Epic Games Store's free giveaway contains a handful of cosmetics, such as ...

     Dark Souls 3 Servers Back OnlineThe online servers for Dark Souls 3 are finally back after a nearly seven-month absence. This was announced earlier today via the official Dark Souls Twitter account, which thanked fans for their patience. Dark Souls 3 players will now finally be able to access the game's online features, including PvP and messages. However, the other Dark Souls games have not had their servers restored just yet. Dark Souls players have been without online features since February. FromSoftware was forced to shut them down after a nasty security vulnerability was found. This issue allowed hackers to install malware and take control of other players' PCs. Obviously, this was a huge problem, so it made sense for FromSoftware to take drastic action. But it was still a shame to be without these features for so long. Additionally, we weren't sure when to expect the return of these servers, but an update in July gave us a hint that it would be soon.   The Kingdom of Lothric is back onli...
