    It’s Estimated That Grand Theft Auto VI Netted over a Quarter Billion with Its First Week of Pre-Orders

    Because ... a "quarter billion" sounds so much more than a mere "250 million". :rolleyes:

    Generative AI Is the Tool of Choice for Japanese Online Game Developers, as a New Survey Claims 100% Are Reportedly Using It

    Agreed. Shovelware and Crapware have not yet gone the way of the dodo - whether human or AI generated

    SK Hynix CEO Says 2027 Will Be Memory’s Worst Year Ever, And It Will Not Get Better Before 2030

    I can't think of a better reason to dig deeper into my backlog of older unplayed (and under played) games. Maybe by the time I've cleared the list, this whole memory shortage thing and need for a state-of-the-art system will have passed over. The tech paradigm will have changed significantly...

    Thermaltake Announces Dockpower FL Power Supply Series Featuring a Removable Dock Module

    How many times does the average consumer plug/unplug their cables from their power supply? My guess is a very low number for a niche-specific group. Seems like a solution looking for a problem.

    Valve Officially Opens Pre-Orders for Steam Machine with Prices Ranging from $1,049 to $1,428

    I don't understand all they hype. It's a branded PC box running Linux (Proton) to play PC games. I'm not the intended market audience, I guess.

    Capcom Confirms Gamescom 2026 Line-Up Including Onimusha: Way of the Sword, Dragon’s Dogma 2: Dark Arisen, and Mega Man: Dual Override

    Looking forward to seeing how Dragon's Dogma 2 turns out. I played the first one extensively despite its shortcomings for GoG players. I haven't followed the game's development at all, but I was previously aware that Capcom was working on the sequel. No timeline in the article for release...

    Gothic 1 Remake Ships 500,000 Units in Its First Week; Patch 1.0.1 Addresses Crashes and Lockpicking

    Shipped ... or sold? I played the original many years ago, and the controls were janky. I'm sure UE5, or whatever modern engine they're using has improved that aspect, but added it's own faults. In concept, the game was interesting. In execution, it left much to be desired. Yet, it is still...

    NVIDIA Unveils DLSS 5, to Help Achieve Photorealistic Lighting While Honoring the Artist’s Original Intent and Image Quality

    So am I to understand that it is more efficient compute-wise to re-interpret and generated a new frame between two actual frames than to just reproduce a new frame interpolated between the frames on either side (for a given page refresh range)? Or is this an example of team Green attempting to...

    NVIDIA Unveils DLSS 5, to Help Achieve Photorealistic Lighting While Honoring the Artist’s Original Intent and Image Quality

    So is this a case where you might need two GPUs - one for graphics, and one for AI - kind of like the old PhysX setups?

    Valve Reveals Steam Machine and Frame Requirements, Advises Developers That “Optimizing for Lower Spec Machines Expands Your Audience.”

    Regarding the headline ... Tell me your new gaming device cannot compete with similar market products without telling me its performance will be worse. The statement is pure marketing spin. If you cannot compete in a market, re-frame the discussion to ensure your product is seen positively and...
