Nvidia is far and away still the biggest AI hardware company, and a large reason for that is thanks to CUDA. AMD, however, thinks that CUDA might have already had its day in the sun and is a "non-event" for some companies. At an Advancing AI pre-briefing, AMD's corporate VP and GM of its data centre GPU business group Andrew Dieckman explained: "I used to talk to our customers about...
Less than one month after Xbox spun off Double Fine Productions as an independent studio, the developer has laid off 23 employees, a move it says was necessary to ensure "the survival of our studio.""Our transition to becoming an independent company means becoming a size that we can sustain," Double Fine said in a message shared on Bluesky.

EA subsequently laid off dozens of BioWare's staff, and numerous former developers have recently said they believe the series is probably dead.Yet, while there's little hope of a new Dragon Age game anytime soon (if ever), might there be a chance EA...
It feels like western blockbuster games development is dying. Amid endless rounds of ruthless layoffs and studio closures, a component shortage crisis driving up hardware prices for both PC and console users, and the industry's often-disastrous pivot to live service, it's hard imagine a healthy future for the kinds of lavish, seasonal tentpole releases that used to be the bread and butter of the medium. I know western studios still...
I'm seated on the edge of a transport helicopter, legs dangling in the breeze, when our pilot flips on the radio to Flight of the Valkyries. "Duh duh duh duh, duh, duh duh duh duh, duh" three passengers sing in non-unison, their VOIP lagging two seconds behind the actual song. The pilot interrupts the performance with an announcement: "Jump quick once you see grass, because we're headed to the hot...

Just last week, we noted prices were at the worst we've seen them in the past 12 months, but after further checks this morning, they're looking worse again still. Among the worst offenders, the RTX 5060 Ti 16 GB. With memory being the main driving factor of price hikes in the past 12 months, it's perhaps no surprise that this memory-laden...
It's weird to say that FromSoftware, a studio previously known for its singleplayer gauntlets (and very good mech series), has made some of the decade's most solid middleweight multiplayer games. But given Elden Ring: Nightreign's success, and the fact that The Duskbloods is shaping up to be pretty solid—boo, Switch 2 exclusive, boo—it's a true statement.You might be wondering, then, if the undisputed king of gritty singleplayer RPGs where you...
