Tom Henderson, in a report for Xfire, claims that Laura Miele, EA Chief Studios Officer, highlighted a number of factors that could have caused the “disappointing launch” of Battlefield 2042. One was the Frostbite engine by the internal studio DICE. The engine needed an upgrade, and by the end of the process “it was basically a new engine”, which cost up to 18 months of development time. Then there’s the expected work from home environment, which is understandable to some degree....

Sources to Bloomberg say that EA is moving Dragon Age 4 back to a singleplayer model. Having first entered development in 2015, that was the way the game was planned in the first place. But in 2017, the publisher and Bioware, the studio responsible for the series, switched things up “to push for long-term monetisation”. The most recent U-turn for Dragon Age 4 can be attributed to the performance of two different games under EA....

Fred C. Newmeyer, Sam Taylor; 1923)2. Our Hospitality (dir. Buster Keaton, John G. Blystone; 1923)3. The Gold Rush (dir....

The 27-second long clip shows a distinctly Dark Souls-esque character – down to the cloth physics – looking around the edge of a cliff. It also shows the ability to jump. And it looks like the regular “press a single button” jump that you find in most RPGs, rather than the “leap from a sprint” jump from the mainline Dark Souls series. — Idle Sloth 🎃👻🦇 (@IdleSloth84) October 16, 2021 The one embedded above is not of the best quality, for a number of reasons....

Called DOGE-1, the mission will involve launching a 40kg cube satellite on a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket. Canada-based Geometric Energy Corporation (GEC), which paid for the launch in dogecoin, said the satellite would gather lunar-spatial intelligence using onboard sensors and cameras. “This mission will demonstrate the application of cryptocurrency beyond Earth orbit and set the foundation for interplanetary commerce,” said SpaceX Vice President of Commercial Sales Tom Ochinero, adding “We’re excited to launch DOGE-1 to the Moon!...

According to a recent blog post, Harmonix says that it will help Epic “create musical journeys and gameplay” for Fortnite.

Several users on Reddit had discovered that running the launcher in the background was causing their Ryzen CPU to run approximately 20°C higher than usual.

The video game developer and owner of the Unreal Engine filed a lawsuit against Ronald Sykes with the District Court in North Carolina, US.

The company further says that Sykes, after obtaining information about the new season, proceeded to tweet information regarding Fortnite Chapter 2 via an alternate Twitter account....

Like Abramson, Engstrom was a pioneer, but more specifically, he was one of the Microsoft engineers who, along with colleagues Alex St. John and Craig Eisler, made Windows gaming viable and even developed the DirectX API. That has since seen several evolutions, the latest iteration of it being the DirectX 12 (DX12) Ultimate. From there, several of you know what happened next; with DirectX, the API effectively made gaming on Microsoft’s Windows OS the preferred choice for PC Gaming and even laid the foundation for what would later be Microsoft’s Xbox consoles....

Based on the HWBOT details, musume made the achievement using a single 16GB of G.Skill Trident Z5 DDR5 RAM. To do this, musume paired the memory module with an ASUS ROG Maximus Z690 APEX motherboard, a board that is said to have been designed specifically for extreme overclocking, as well as a Core i9-12900K. On top of that, musume also had to run the memory at extremely high CL timings of 120-120-120-120-127-2....

This means that even after you’ve unlocked your phone via biometrics or passcode, you’ll have to do so again to look at your inbox. Once you’ve set this, you can also determine the frequency in which you’ll have to unlock it again. You can have your Facebook Mesenger inbox lock itself up the moment you leave the app. Or, you can have it only lock up after an hour of not using it....

That said, it’s not something you can do immediately, unless you live in Ireland. The option is now available there, with a worldwide rollout planned for the first half of 2020.

You’ll also be asked for your password before the transfer starts, and all data transferred will be encrypted.

Journalist Jeff Grubb claimed in his Grubbsnax podcast that “people have begun to have talks and say these two words in sentences. And those words are Obsidian and New Vegas 2”. But these talks are still in the very early stages, so if a game does materialise from it, it’s still years away from it happening. Grubb says that Microsoft doesn’t want to leave the Fallout series in limbo while Bethesda works on Starfield and The Elder Scrolls VI....
