The messaging coming out of Microsoft is becoming unmistakable. The next version of Windows is going to be all about chat.Last week, Microsoft posted a video that claimed, "the world of mousing around and keyboarding around and typing will feel as alien as it does to Gen Z to use DOS." Now there's a new interview on the official Windows IT Pro YouTube channel with Microsoft's Windows and devices boss...
One of the hubbubs surrounding WoW's upcoming Legion Remix is the fact that Mage Tower—an incredibly popular piece of content that Blizzard has never brought back (in full, anyway, there was a stint without the same rewards) for fools like me who missed it—likely won't be making a return. Bare minimum, it's not been mentioned yet, and we're coming close to the deadline.But a recent blog post and YouTube video...
Metal Gear Solid 5 came out (oh my god) 10 years ago, but it can still spark discourse like a game half its age. Did Konami mistreat Hideo Kojima Did Kojima push his luck too far? Will we ever get Episode 51 (no)? Do we regret our words and deeds more than the regular amount? And can we ever forgive the way the series unceremoniously jettisoned David Hayter as Snake's...
Look, I'll hold my hands up—as a writer often on the move, I've holed myself up in coffee shops with my laptop to write articles before, eeking out my drink for far longer than necessary to make the most of a wall socket. I've never been brave enough to bring in a more substantial piece of gear, though, but it appears the phenomenon is particularly widespread in South Korea, as...
Last weekend, I was pleasantly surprised by how well the Battlefield 6 open beta was holding up. The series has repeatedly fallen into the trap of launching in an unoptimised state, only getting tidied up months or even a year later. Battlefield 6 has, seemingly, bucked this trend, as I was getting silky smooth FPS and virtually no server issues.When I loaded up the Battlefield 6 open beta today, which...
If your favorite flavor of videogames is "ones that rely on parallel projection to give a sense of 3D geometry" then you're in luck, because Steam and GOG are both currently discounting isometric games. If CRPGs, tactics games, and board game adaptations are your thing then get ready to fill your boots.Because this sale is organized by Owlcat's publishing division, Owlcat's own games are of course featured heavily. You can...
Playdate received an oddity called Blippo Plus earlier this year. It turns the handheld console into a strange little television, so that twisting the crank feels akin to switching channels on an old analog TV dial. Sometimes you'll find a cryptic animation, or else a live action musical performance. Some channels show a mysteriously static logo, whereas others might feature a full-blown variety show. It all plays out in real...
A megacorporation's research ship returns from a 65-year mission into deep space loaded with gooey alien specimens. But—and stop me if you've heard this one before—something goes wrong. The ship crashes on Earth, and just to complicate things, it crashes into a city run by a rival corporation.Now it's a mad dash to search the shipwreck (and the cyberpunk skyscraper it crashed into) and capture all that profitable yet slimy...
Capcom's efforts to make Monster Hunter Wilds better have, for some players, instead succeeded in making it worse. The studio says it's aware of a bug introduced in the new 1.021 update that's causing crashes, and it's now working on a fix.Reports of crashes began to surface on Reddit shortly after the 1.021 update rolled out, and sure enough, shortly after that Capcom admitted there's a problem."We are aware of...
In what was likely a karmic inevitability, Palworld now has its own shameless imitator on the Switch
While Nintendo might've found a way to bring Pocketpair to court over patents it arguably shouldn't have been awarded in the first place, it's telling that even its military-grade legal hit squad didn't try to nail Palworld for its Pokemon knockoffery. But while I'll defend Palworld's legal right to pretend Dinossom isn't just Lilligant's flower and Meganium's face stapled to a green Goodra body, that doesn't make it any less...
