    The FPS Review Weekender: The RX 9070 XT and RX 7900 XTX Are Now Dead Even Across 51 Games, Plus 11 More Hardware Reviews

    It will forever and always be a **** shame we didn't get a 96CU/384bit RDNA4 GPU. ~50% faster than a 9070xt would have put it roughly between the 4090 and 5090. Would be selling like hotcakes in this environment with $2500 5080's and such.

    The 2026 Game Thread: You Will Own Nothing and Be Happy Edition

    Anyhow beat Crysis 3 a couple days ago. Crysis is just a hella weird series. The original game felt like it started out kinda wanting to be a modern warfare style Milsim shooter, and IMO was a deeply frustrating experience as a sneak shooter till the Aliens turn up and the whole game goes...

    Changing of the Guard at Xbox: Phil Spencer Retires, Sarah Bond Steps Down, Asha Sharma Takes Over as CEO of Microsoft Gaming

    Well that's weird. Head of Minecraft wouldn't be a joke position in the gaming division. Wonder if it's something really petty like embezzlement, selling secrets, of just talking **** on Asha Sharma over work email or somthing. Usually these people "retire to spend more time with their...

    The King is Dead (Bioware)

    Looks like Bioware is finally getting shut down by EA. Honestly a bit of a miracle they even made it this far after the soft flub that was Andromeda and the hard flub that was Anthem. Looks like Veilguard finally did them in. Honestly, I am actually incredibly relieved that they managed to get...

    CD Projekt Red Exec Says Cyberpunk 2077 Live-Action Movie Will Be Its Own Story and Not an Adaptation of the Game

    Looks like we're getting a patch 2.5 which includes enough stuff that it could have been a little MTX or DLC unto itself. Guess I'm finally doing that Nomad run I've put off for a few months.

    PC Shipments Fall off a Cliff as Some Manufacturers See Year-over-Year Numbers Drop by over Twenty-Five Percent in 2026

    I am Jack's complete lack of surprise. Just too many economic and real-world factors stacking on top of each other beyond even the AI craze. It was bound to catch up eventually. September 2026 was our worst month at work since July 2022, it basically feels like we're back to 4 years ago as...

    The 2026 Game Thread: You Will Own Nothing and Be Happy Edition

    Trying to play through Crysis 3 on my main computer but the game is kinda borked. Terrible performance despite being a game from 2013, 65 FPS cap, drops into the low 30's and 40's in FPS. Absolute madness for a 5800x3d and a 9070XT to be dealing with these problems. I'm not alone either, seems...

    The Witcher 3 Remastered Launches Today Bringing Updated Visuals and Game Mechanics to the Game Originally Released in 2015

    - While I would have preferred this remaster showing up as a completely separate entry in my Steam library (like many other remasters that have launched over the years), I appreciate that at least Steam provides a method to "roll back" to other versions. Folks on console or other launchers...

    The Witcher 3 Remastered Launches Today Bringing Updated Visuals and Game Mechanics to the Game Originally Released in 2015

    Looks like this directly upgrades the complete edition copy I have in Steam instead of creating a new entry. I hope that whatever remastering has been done can be deactivated and players can play the game in either of it's prior states (the rerelease with DX12/RT we got a few years ago, or even...

    Quake Champions Drops Free-to-Play for a Flat $9.99, Unlocks Everything and Ends New Content

    I would club so many baby seals to get a proper sequel to Quake 2/4 that merged their Strogg story with the occult story of 1 as well as the tournament stuff from 3 and Champions. Call it "Quake" and just reboot this MF from top top bottom in the mother of all FPS revivals.

    The 2026 Game Thread: You Will Own Nothing and Be Happy Edition

    Completed Pit People and Max Payne. Pit People was a fun Behemoth joint. Goofy, colorful, irreverent. Just a solid well built turn based strategy game that does away with the typical dour aesthetic and goes for "hey man we're all friends here, have a beer and chill out" vibe. Great game, cannot...

    Sony and Microsoft Have Reportedly Finalized Chip Designs for the PlayStation 6 and Xbox Helix

    - Since Nvidia has transcended to another plane of corporate existence and Intel is still sitting around playing with it's dick they're kinda the only game in town as far as the consumer market is concerned...

    Sony and Microsoft Have Reportedly Finalized Chip Designs for the PlayStation 6 and Xbox Helix

    - These consoles were probably intended to launch ~2027-ish so the timeframe makes sense but with the whole *gestures lazily at everything* we'll probably see them show up in 2028, potentially allowing more time for inventory to get built up given basically all silicon manufacturing is going...

    AM4 Refuses to Die: The Ryzen 5 5500F Finally Hits US Shelves (for $20 Over MSRP) as 9-Year-Old A320 Boards Get Fresh BIOS

    I mean pricing went hyperbolic after AM4 for not much performance gains...

    AMD Is Reportedly Targeting Clock Speeds Upwards of 3.4 GHz for RDNA 5, Hinting at a Potential 14% Uptick over Radeon RX 9070XT

    So long as there is some backward support to my 9070XT AMD can do whatever with RDNA5. At current prices I'm tapped out for the next 5-6 years at least.

    Fable Game Director Says the Game Will Have Around 15–20 Hours of Main Content and Then Close to the Same for Side Quests

    Good, much more than 40 hours of stuff just starts to drag after a while, especially if it's open world checkbox crap. If we can get 40 hours of proper bespoke quests and side quests from Fable then fantastic. Fable has never been a heavy hitting IP, I was always going to look at picking it...

    Epic Counters an Analyst’s Claim That Players Only Use It for Free Games, Stating That It Hit an All-Time Sales Record of $400 Million in 2025

    If Alan Wake 2 gets cheap enough ($10 or less), I'll pick it up on the EGS despite my distaste for Epic, Fortnite, Tim Sweeny, the whole shebang. I even went and downloaded the EGS app and sideloaded it onto my phone because I'm at work quite a bit and naturally cannot access Steam/EGS etc...

    My Epic account was hacked!!!

    Lost my Epic account ages ago because it was tied to an old msn.com spam e-mail that got deactivated in one of MS' many web merges. Tried to do the recovery process with Epic, answered their questions etc, and after 48 hours Epic told me to take a hike. Luckily nothing there other than a...

    Gears 5 GOTY on sale on Steam for $7 right now. Not even a huge Gears fan (only ever played the OG back on the 360) but for $7 why the hell not.
