Wait, what... 🙀 How is it a Pac-Man?!

There was a rumor that the second GTA VI trailer will be released today. Apparently, here it is!

Imagine a First Person Shooter game where you can use your mouse to aim!

Yes, it was once a game-changer, so let's dive into the evolution of the genre from early 90s and up to the future:

The game that promised you stealth walkthrough but smoke bomb skill is in a different country in a paid DLC that you will never try.

From admin: The scariest part of the game for me is how good it could be if it would be smaller and deeper. Longer side quests, better platforming (there are sights of level design, like there was platforming at some point), more survival features, and obviously a better main story.

In 2021, EA made a pledge to let the wider game industry use its accessibility-related patents at no cost, and now the publisher has added 23 new patents to its lineup.

As of today, third parties can freely use patented technology such as improved speech recognition, simplified speech tech in games, and the ability to create more personalized speech. The broad aim is for this tech to assist players with speech disabilities or those who need help verbally expressing themselves.

There are many more ones in the lineup, like technologies to detect photosensitivity (including a dedicated Unreal Engine plugin for it).

A trillion-dollar company needs to use AI to save money. If you look closely, the zombie character in the picture has six fingers. Call of Duty enthusiasts have long speculated that the developers of Black Ops 6 might be utilizing AI to design their map layouts. This theory gained further traction with the recent update with this new loading screen, which seemingly confirms that AI is indeed being employed in certain aspects of the game.

A very short explanation on the whole Concord drama!

Fun fact: the TV episode is still planned for December 10, so stay tuned 😊

It's fine to have 100+ hours games but not fine if EVERY GAME tries to be a 100 hour game.

After leaving PUBG, its creator moved to a planet-scale survival games (and the demo is free on Steam).

For now, it looks bland and even as a tech demo it lacks anything memorable — just rocks and trees around.

The second project is Prologue: Go Wayback! and it looks way better, but isn't available yet.

🤔 Are you into it?

Digital Foundry checked Indiana Jones game and whoa: imagine an RTX game that works without flickering and blurry image?

The engine uses a combination of technologies to only trace light where needed, so even Series S is running the game at 1080p or higher at stable 60 FPS. Dark regions of the image and interior scenes are very stable, even if they are mixed with brightly lit parts of the frame.

All thanks to a modded ID Tech engine (an improved version from DOOM Eternal) — Machine Games called their fork "Motor Engine" which will make it nearly impossible to Google.

But despite the dumb name, the exceptional quality and performance is exactly why in-house engines are superior to Unreal Engine 5, which would drop the resolution to 576p and call it a day.
