Digital Extremes, best known as the developers of free-to-play shooter Warframe, are opening a new studio. The company will be expanding to Toronto, opening a second development studio just a short distance from their London, Ontario headquarters. Following the success of Warframe, Digital Extremes opened a new publishing services office in California in 2014. The Toronto studio is the company’s...
There seems to be a bit of a gold rush going on in the ‘Little people with swords fight exceptionally huge monsters’ genre, and Bandai Namco are eager to stake their latest claim. Today, they announced God Eater 3, latest in their exceptionally anime franchise about humans battling borderline-deific monsters in a scarred and post-apocalyptic world. While the roots of the...
There are two kinds of remasters: the remake that takes the concepts and plot of the first game and otherwise completely reinvents it; and the enhancement that simply re-renders a title for a new generation, bringing with it all the old bugs. Having played the opening of Secret of Mana’s turn on the revolving door of nostalgia, it manages...
One of the biggest criticisms levelled at Fallout 4 is how the protagonist has only a slightly broader vocabulary than Hodor from Game of Thrones, a man who can only utter his own name. Where previous Fallout games had epic monologues from NPCs and reams of dialogue choices - some of them tailored to suit your playstyle - Fallout...
Chuchel, the upcoming adventure game from Amanita Design, is coming to PC in early 2018. The trailer is oh-so-slightly mad, but it offers a good look at the upcoming game. There’s a touch of the Rabbid to Chuchel, the game’s titular character. He or she (the trailer offers very little by way of characterisation) looks a lot like an emotive...
CD Projekt are mostly known for two things: adapting the Witcher into a now-wildly popular game series, and distributing DRM-free games through its GOG storefront. But long before either of those things had happened, they got their start through software piracy. Noclip, a crowd-funded series of video game documentaries, is running a week-long set of episodes on the Witcher and CD...
Have you been playing Nier: Automata? Have you ever had the impression that it looks a bit grainy, or blurry? Then good news! A modder named GPUnity has created a texture pack to sharpen everything up a bit. It’s a lovely touch-up for the game’s common sand and rusted industrial textures in particular, as you can see in the video...
The last trailer for Warframe's coming Plains of Eidolon update gave a vague launch date of sometime this autumn, but a new forum post by the devs says the goal is to launch in the next ten days. In the words of Rebecca Ford, community producer at developers Digital Extremes: “The goal is to launch within the next 10 days - when...
Fallout 2 is rightly celebrated as a classic of computer role-playing games, but there’s no denying that things got a little weird for the post-apocalyptic sequel. Treasure-hunting dwarves, a chess-playing Radscorpion, and far more weirdness helped to define the game’s manic tone. That’s largely the result of hurried development cycle, and the same rush almost netted us a car...
Graphene can improve heat transfer for even the most thermally conductive metals we use in PC components today, and it’s only one atom thick. What should we use this wonder material for first, I hear you ask... Well, Team are launching their latest T-Force Cardea M.2 SSD with a unique graphene-enhanced cooler. My M.2 SSD does run a little hot, I suppose. Graphene is...
