    Grand Theft Auto VI Release Date Now Pushed Back to May 2026

    I think GTA is overrated, not to say that they are bad games, far from it, but they were just no-nonsense action games. Ironically it is exactly this fun that they started dismantling since GTAIV, by shifting the tone to be more serious. I felt GTAV was already taking itself too seriously for...

    Grand Theft Auto VI Release Date Now Pushed Back to May 2026

    By the time the PC version is out it will come down in price either way, or if not: It's their loss, literally.

    Grand Theft Auto VI Release Date Now Pushed Back to May 2026

    I'd rather not play a game than pay $80 for the standard edition, I haven't even paid $70 yet. No, thanks.

    DOOM: The Dark Ages Early Benchmarks Indicate a Great-Looking Game That Performs Well at 1080p/1440p but Needs a Powerful GPU for 4K

    Yes, but in the 2000s, you could upgrade your PC every 8-10 months just by saving up your lunch money. Now it would cost me 3 to 4 months* salary just to buy a 5090. Things are very much not the same. People are getting priced out of the industry, there will be no PC enthusiasts soon if this...

    DOOM: The Dark Ages Early Benchmarks Indicate a Great-Looking Game That Performs Well at 1080p/1440p but Needs a Powerful GPU for 4K

    That's expected when no fakery is in place. In raw performance the 5xxx series is a sidestep at best.

    DOOM: The Dark Ages Early Benchmarks Indicate a Great-Looking Game That Performs Well at 1080p/1440p but Needs a Powerful GPU for 4K

    We are going backwards. 1080p was the peasant setting even 10+ years ago. The current arrangement is too comfortable for AAA developers and video card manufacturers. Devs can use computationally expensive features that barely improve graphics if not outright making it worse, while nvidia sells...

    Half Life 3 Rumored to Be “Playable, End-to-End,” and Valve Might Release Gordon’s Final Adventure Sometime This Year

    Leaking it one week before announcing it and then releasing it on the same day is not promotion. It didn't need marketing because people wanted it. It's the same deal with HL3.

    Tim Sweeney Says Unreal 6 Is a Few Years Off, and Is Aimed at Bringing the Best of Both Worlds Together

    Unreal engine has ruined optimization. Why do we put up with the same stuttering mess in every game? It's exactly this "best of both worlds" approach is what is causing a lot of problems. 99% of games don't need the features made for fortnite.

    Half Life 3 Rumored to Be “Playable, End-to-End,” and Valve Might Release Gordon’s Final Adventure Sometime This Year

    I'm not ruling anything out after Bethesda released oblivion remastered with absolutely no promotion beforehand.

    Half Life 3 Rumored to Be “Playable, End-to-End,” and Valve Might Release Gordon’s Final Adventure Sometime This Year

    I hope when it releases it will be playable from beginning to end, not end to end :D

    Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Has Become One of the Highest-Rated Video Games of the Year So Far

    It's definitely no souls game. It has some soulslikeness to it in that you have to learn the patterns of the enemies to successfully counter them, but it's not frustrating like a souls type, because it's more forgiving than that, To be fair, I think the gameplay is mediocre at best, what sells...

    NVIDIA Releases Another Driver to Address Black Screen Issues, Only to Introduce a Potentially Hardware-Damaging Issue Requiring a Hotfix

    I'm not sure what they'd gain by intentionally breaking cards that are all still under warranty.

    Here's hoping it will have mod support because without that Bethesda games are not worth much.

    DOOM: The Dark Ages Will Be the “Most Ambitious DOOM Game to Date” When Prequel Launches for Xbox Series X|S, Xbox App for Windows PC, Steam, P...

    It's not out for another 4 weeks. And it's a €80 game on steam, so I'm not going to be trying it out, even though I admit it looks better than 2016 or Eternal.

    Star Wars Zero Company Is a Turn-Based Tactical Game Set During the Clone Wars, Coming from EA in 2026

    My confidence level in star wars is zero, so even though I like turn based games like XCOM, I can't muster up any excitement for this. I used to be excited for Eclipse, until it was leaked that Disney forced them to switch the female protagonist into an uglier one.

    DOOM: The Dark Ages Will Be the “Most Ambitious DOOM Game to Date” When Prequel Launches for Xbox Series X|S, Xbox App for Windows PC, Steam, P...

    This looks plastic enough to me. In a way Doom II looks more realistic than this. Why does everything need specular highlights? The only thing that has the amount of specular they depict in modern games / CGI is shiny plastic and polished metal. I looked at Doom 3 gameplay, and I think it holds...

    DOOM: The Dark Ages Will Be the “Most Ambitious DOOM Game to Date” When Prequel Launches for Xbox Series X|S, Xbox App for Windows PC, Steam, P...

    I think my aversion to modern doom games comes from the visuals. The original Doom I and II used earthly, flat colors, while these modern ones are so shiny and smooth. Everything looks like someone licked it smooth and shiny, even the monsters.

    Don't get your hopes up. The way I understand it the game still runs on the old engine, UE5 is just used as a graphics wrapper. So in a way this is a bigger mish mash, potentially combining the downsides of both engines.

    Oh, existing mods most definitely won't work. If rumors are true this uses UE5. The question is whether there will be modding support at all. Because if not that will anger the community. And be a deal breaker for me as well.
