In 2021, as studio CEO Pete Parsons cited the company's recent "tremendous growth and opportunity," Bungie announced its plans for a massive expansion to its Bellevue, Washington headquarters. The campus embiggening, which internal sources have reportedly described as costing "hundreds of millions" of dollars, more than doubled the size of Bungie's offices from 84,000 square feet to just under 211,000.Now, after five and a half years of spending sprees, publisher...
Another day, another DLSS 5 story that actually kinda doesn't involve Nvidia itself doing anything, because it seems now AMD GPU owners can get in on the act. A new homebrew app has been released on Github that will allow you to run the DLSS Neural Rendering feature on a Radeon GPU. I've tried it and it works, but damn does it hurt the poor Radeon silicon.From having DLSS 5...
Everyone has a price. Maybe it's $100, maybe it's $1,000, maybe it's for someone to see your innate value as a human being, or maybe it's $1,000,000. Popular streamer TimTheTatman recently revealed what it would take to get him to go back to Arc Raiders, and spoilers, it's not the third option. There was apparently an ad deal floating around for the Arc Raiders and Subway collab, which TimTheTatman was...
Curse of Strahd is one of the most popular D&D modules for a reason—it's actually really compelling. Set in the misty, cursed lands of Barovia, Curse of Strahd is dominated by the titular Strahd von Zarovich, a vampire lord with a tragic backstory and a propensity for showing up at random intervals to give you a fantasy wedgie. In the one Strahd campaign I played in, my first encounter with...
Nvidia has just announced that it intends to acquire Hugging Face, the biggest open platform dedicated to developing machine-learning applications. Considering Nvidia has been all-in on AI for the past few years—to the point that I barely remember the last time the company even mentioned gaming in an earnings call—it's hardly a surprising move.What did encourage a sharp intake of breath from me though was the price of this purchase;...
DLSS 5 is finally here. Well, its been officially released in one game, anyway, after modders got their hands on it last week and made the actual launch somewhat redundant. Still, I've been testing Nvidia's new AI image-enhancing tech in NBA 2K27, the latest hoop-shooting game in the long-running series, and I have bad news: even on a high-end RTX 5080 rig, it's seriously punishing when it comes to performance.Which...
Every time I use my laptop I get that pins and needles feeling in my hands. It’s like a cactus constantly pricking me. Turns out it’s this Dell XPS 9370 I’ve worn through the palm rests, and now I’m just being stabbed by carbon fibers. In hindsight, it is perhaps a bad… pic.twitter.com/cA30b2Tr1ASeptember 1, 2026A user on X reported feeling pins and needles in their hands whenever they used their...
Nobody likes game delays. Sure, a delay is temporary and suck is forever, as Gabe Newell once said, but it still chafes. But sometimes a little extra development time can go a very long way. In a new interview with the NoClip podcast, immersive sim maestro Harvey Smith shared one such story about Deus Ex, explaining how it leveraged some extra post-production time to give a much bigger role to...
What's that sound I'm hearing? Could it be the sound of five rings? Well, no, because that's not the kind of rings Musashi wrote about. It's the sound of a desperate bit of wordplay constructed to lead into a post about the launch times and release date for Onimusha: War of the Sword. Musashi's the protagonist of that one. That's the joke. I'm doing my best out here.If our Wes...
PUBG remains one of Steam's most-played games, which makes it all the more surprising that PUBG Studios and publisher Krafton haven't made more attempts to milk it over the years. PUBG: DED NET might be the biggest yank of the udder to date though, revealing an entirely new spin-off roguelite FPS set in the '90s. And if you didn't know the game was set in the '90s, you sure will...
