Los Santos CustomsI'm modding GTA 5 every day in a quest to either transform it into a PC version of GTA 6 or break it entirely. Come back tomorrow to find out what new horrible thing I've done to Rockstar's baby, or check out what I got up to earlier.Let's skip the preamble: I am Mark Zuckerberg now. The original Mark Zuckerberg? Who cares? He's knocked out in a ditch...
PC building isn't dead: you can get the core of a quality gaming rig for $936 with these combo deals
As a PC builder it seems like your best bet these days is to start keeping an eye on Newegg's bundle deals if you're looking to put together a new gaming rig. Even then, it's not cheap or easy, or even more affordable than just buying a discounted prebuilt gaming PC.But PC building is one of the best things about this hobby and I'll be damned if any AI-generated memory...
If you need evidence that the team behind The Witcher 3's upcoming expansion, Songs of the Past, is composed of Bonafide Witcher Sickos, try this: the expansion's lead writer wrote her bachelor's thesis on Hearts of Stone almost a decade ago.Fool's Theory's Paula Mejsner took a comparative literature scalpel to The Witcher 3's first expansion in her 2017 thesis—long before she got to work on the game itself—titled (in English)...
Believe it or not, I don't actually like to be all doom and gloom about new technologies like AI—it's just that's what the world keeps handing me. So I'll be damned if I don't take the time to report on something actually positive about it when I can, and I'm hesitantly optimistic that Microsoft's newly-published code of conduct for AI training and operation is one such opportunity.The overall goal is...
The Aniimo release time is almost here, unveiling the world of Idyll and its many creatures for you to catch. This game certainly seems to be trying to tap into that Palworld vein of an open world filled with recruitable monsters, though admittedly with fewer guns and survival crafting elements. Aniimo is also free-to-play, though apparently not a gacha game, so expect some slightly different monetisation. All that said, here's...
Embark Studios announced a "pause" on Expeditions in Arc Raiders until early 2027 so it can rework the system to address longstanding issues and complaints that can't be handled with "incremental fixes." In a recent interview with PCGamesN, though, Arc Raiders executive producer Aleksander Grøndal said the studio might go even further by ditching Expeditions entirely.Expeditions are essentially Arc's equivalent of prestiging in Call of Duty: High-level players invest time...
It's been just about a year since Kingmakers, the game about bringing a gun to a knife fight, was delayed just ahead of its planned launch, and we've heard nothing about it since. Today developer Redemption Road finally broke that extended silence with a new "deep dive" trailer detailing everything players will be doing in the game, and also opened the door to signups for an upcoming playtest.First things first:...
Last night, a buddy and I were stuck on the team selection screen in Wardogs. Manticore (Green) and Valkyra (Red) were 100% full, but Lonestar (Blue) had plenty of vacancies. Yet, there we sat—locked in a stalemate with a dozen other players desperate to not join blue."Anything but blue," we chanted, spamming left-click over Green and Red.It is, for some reason, understood in Wardogs that Blue team kinda sucks. It...
There was a time when VR was pretty much exclusive to the PC. I'm talking about when the HTC Vive and Oculus Rift were the pinnacle of technology, circa 2016. I have very fond memories of those two headsets, often borrowing them from friends and colleagues, then ferrying them around to various spots to evangelise the new and exciting world of VR; VR that was then entirely tethered to a...
The Steam Frame is here and it's one of the best VR headsets I've ever had attached to my face, just don't ask me about the price. But when we spoke to two of the people at Valve who helped create the device—Joy Lyons and Jeremy Selan—they told me the company actually had its new VR headsets ready years ago, but they made the tough decision to pull the plug...
