Godot has been suffering from a slop problem. In February, the maintainers of the open source game engine, which powers games like Slay the Spire 2 and The Case of the Golden Idol, said they were deliberating how to address a rising tide of AI slop pull requests, which had become "increasingly draining and demoralizing" for the project's code reviewers.Today, after months of discussion, the Godot Foundation and its maintainers...

Visionary artist Viktor Antonov defined a small but unforgettable selection of games with his unmistakably bold visual style, including Half-Life 2, Dishonored, Wolfenstein: The New Order, and Weird West. (He also did Redneck Rampage, but that was way back when.) He died in 2025 at just 52 years old, but before his tragic passing he put his stamp on one final game, revealed today as a fantasy Wild West soulslike...

But what about the Steam Machine?We asked Valve engineers Yazan Aldehayyat and Pierre-Loup Griffais whether Arm was in consideration for the Steam Machine 2.

AMD and Nvidia's GPUs are currently built on 4 nm-class silicon by TSMC. And they're not exactly cheap. Meanwhile, TSMC has indicated that it would like to put the prices it charges to chip designers up. In that context, the prospect of IBM's newly announced sub-1 nm silicon is both very exciting and totally terrifying.As for the details, IBM is claiming "the introduction of the world’s first sub-1 nanometer (nm)...

If there is one thing that is common across all devices that natively run SteamOS, it's that the graphics chips inside them don't have access to a great deal of VRAM. That's a bit of a problem with some games, but thanks to the genius of a handful of coders, a solution has been rolled out in the latest 3.8.20 beta version of Valve's operating system.As noted by TechPowerUp, one...

I've wanted to revisit Dragon Age: Origins on PC for years. I played the PS3 version back in 2009, which isn't as bad as people say it is, though it does lack the PC version's tactical view and, of course, mod support. Origins has been on my wishlist for well over a decade, but I finally scooped it up during the current Steam Summer sale. It's a negligible $3 for...

Less than two months after the release of its latest game, Directive 8020, Supermassive Games CEO Robert Henrysson has announced that he is stepping down from the position as well as his role at parent company Nordisk Games."As the CEO of Supermassive Games, I was honoured to guide the studio through intense industry change, broadening its client base and establishing a culture of consistent quality across all aspects of the...

Hideki Kamiya cut his teeth on the Resident Evil games, working as a designer on the original and director of Resident Evil 2 before moving on to other things, like Devil May Cry, Viewtiful Joe, Okami, and Bayonetta. Ironically, he's not a big horror guy—he recently expressed a desire for a "non-scary mode" in Resident Evil games—and so understandably is not very interested in returning to the Resident Evil series.But...
