Remember when they did motion capture on a cube? Well, more specifically, they put actor Jack Quaid in a motion capture suit and then they put him inside a cube for his role in God of War Laufey. As charming as that cutting edge cuboid is, I think VR gamers and Vtubers are gonna be all over fresh research out of MIT.Engineers at MIT have developed a sheet full of...
Tempest | RTX 5070 Ti | 9800X3D: was $2699.99 now $2430You can get similar performance to what you'll get out of this rig for a bit cheaper if you're willing to go for AMD, but if you're keen on sticking with Nvidia, this is about as cheap as you'll get something so high-end. The CPU-GPU combo here will have you powering through modern games at 1440p and even at 4K...
The Sims-style house building and customisation.133 new trading posts and economy overhauls via supply and demand.20 new types of small animal. Also a shotgun.Pinball.Birdwatching.A pond for keeping fish. I only just learned about this one.And that's all already on top of the pre-existing camp management, minigames, pet loyalty and collection system, transmog, market manipulation and banking, cooking, fishing, mount collecting, bounties—and I am almost certain I've missed some stuff. But...
Years ago, I read that Jake Solomon prototyped the Firaxis reboot of XCOM by making a simple board game version. Something rudimentary that could be played in the office on scrap paper to get ideas across and figure out where the fun would be, without having to commit. But it's surprising to hear the same idea being used for a game as different from XCOM's turn-based tactics as Star Wars...
There are mods for Seamless Grav Jumps and for Seamless Planet Takeoffs. But when you arrive at a planet in Starfield you still have to choose a landing spot, and then watch a loading screen and an animation. It's another thing that contributes to the feeling your spaceship is more like a house that can teleport.When you're in space, Starfield's planets are basically just textures you can fly right through...

They say that art is never finished, only abandoned—but that doesn't seem to be the case for Yoko Taro, creator of Nier and Drakengard, who you might recognize by the round, smiley Emil mask he wears. According to a report from Denfaminicogamer (via IGN), Taro said at the Tokyo French Institute last month that he's already more or less realized his vision and has considered retiring."With Drakengard, the first game...
I remember being a kid and wishing I had shoes that lit up. I know now that I was a fool. If I festooned myself with garish lights, how would I scavenge for supplies in a frozen wasteland without being spotted by strangers who may or may not kill me before I can use my grappling hook to get away? This isn't a real problem I have, nor is it...
I was stuck in elo hell for a good four years, then I entered elo purgatory for another five years, and now I'm apparently in elo heaven, but for some reason it still feels like elo hell. I guess that's just part and parcel of playing online competitive multiplayer games. While I'd never want to relive the pain of climbing from Bronze to GM, I am morbidly intrigued in whether...
Cyberleek has been uploading footage of Grand Theft Auto 6 since August, most recently a 25-minute video featuring co-protagonist Jason totally nude. Given that GTA 6's November 19 release is just over a month away, on console at least, it seems natural that interest in these kinds of leaks would wane.
