The gaming industry has been a forefront for technology since its early days, pushing the expectations of things like handheld computing, online communication, and of course, graphics. For the last seven years, ray tracing has been one of the bleeding-edge frontiers of graphics. But even as ray tracing-capable GPUs proliferate in consoles, PCs, and even handhelds, many gamers are still skeptical of the technology. So what's going on?
It's a complex question, and answering it requires...
Comedian and host Conan O'Brien's "Clueless Gamer" segment is back, and the newest episode is all about Borderlands 4 and raising money for a good cause.
In this segment, O'Brien plays Borderlands 4 alongside the two people--Brian Long and Liz Day--who donated the most money in the CharityBuzz auction supporting the charity Next for Autism. O'Brien does what he does best in the episode, roasting the game and playing poorly. In particular, he makes fun of Claptrap for being so annoying and...
As hype continues to mount for GTA 6, a reliable leaker has discovered possible more information about the open-world game that appears to reference parody websites.
Tez2 said in the GTA forums that they recently came across website domains registered on May 27 under Rockstar owner Take-Two that appear to be related to GTA 6. The domains are for things like "what-up.app," "Rydeme.app," and "hookers-galore.com," along with "myboyhasacreepycorndog.com" and "leonidagov.org." People are...
Hollow Knight: Silksong is finally here, and players agree that the game kicks ass--mostly their own. Team Cherry's metroidvania is a challenging adventure, but if you're feeling masochistic, you can dial up the difficulty further with a "cheat" code that references (but is different than) the infamous Konami code. Simply head to the "Extras" section of the main menu and enter this sequence on the D-pad to unlock Steel Soul Mode:
Up, Down, Up, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right.
So what does...
Most Arcade1Up releases these days are $500-$600 Deluxe Arcade Cabinets, but Walmart carries a trio of models that more closely resemble Arcade1Up's early hits. These throwback Special Edition machines cost $334 each and are themed around Mortal Kombat 2, Ms. Pac-Man, and Pac-Man. Each cabinet is preloaded with 13 games and has a 15.6-inch IPS display. Other features include dual stereo speakers, Wi-Fi support for leaderboards and multiplayer, and pretty solid controls to mirror Arcade1Up's...
Peak recently received a decent-sized patch addressing both major and minor bugs and some balancing issues--but its biggest addition is a new Color Blindness mode, a highly-requested feature that adds patterns to Peak's colored berries, giving players another way to differentiate them from one another during a climb.
Having more accessibility options is always a good thing. Not only do they allow for more people to experience a particular game, but a lot of these features eventually become...
There's no denying that the hype train for Hollow Knight: Silksong is unlike anything we've ever seen for an indie game. In the days leading up to its release, multiple other small studios delayed their games to stay out of Silksong's way, something generally reserved to make space for the Grand Theft Autos of the gaming world. The sequel's release led to Steam and the Nintendo eShop crashing (the lack of preorders played a role here, of course) and saw the metroidvania game top out at...
In just over a week, Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater has flown past 1 million in sales across consoles and PC. Konami has now released a new update that addresses a few fixes.
Metal Gear Solid Delta's version 1.1.3 update for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S is now live, with the Steam version to follow "soon." The inverted camera option is the most notable new addition in the update. Konami notes that version 1.1.3 fixes minor bugs and updates textures and models "in certain scenes."...
Schedule 1, the early-access drug selling sim that is regularly in the top-played games on Steam, is receiving a new type of drug following the results of a community vote.
In a post on Steam, developer TVGS revealed shrooms will officially be Schedule 1's fourth drug type after winning over 269,000 votes in a recent community poll. Other features players had the option to vote for included drivers (which secured 139,000 votes) and fishing (with 85,000) votes. Both non-winning choices will...
In 2014, Machine Games' Wolfenstein: The New Order rebooted the classic Wolfenstein shooter from id Software. The sequel, Wolfenstein: The New Colossus, followed in 2017, with a spin-off called Wolfenstein: Youngblood in 2019. There hasn't been a new game in the franchise since the VR title Wolfenstein: Cyberpilot in 2019, but Machine Games creative director Axel Torvenius still wants to continue the story of William "B.J." Blazkowicz in a third Wolfenstein game.
"We have always seen this...
Nintendo's star heroine wasn't always named Princess Peach, and for many years prior to the release of Super Mario 64 went by a different name: Princess Toadstool. Now, fans know the reason why, and it wasn't because of any decision Nintendo made.
In an interview with Time Extension, Nintendo veteran Leslie Swan, who over the course of her nearly three-decade career helped localize countless Nintendo classics, wrote for Nintendo Power magazine, and even voiced Princess Peach in Super Mario...
Activision and developer Treyarch have announced that the Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 Vault Edition operator T.E.D.D. is getting a makeover based on "recent feedback."
In a social media post, Treyarch showed off T.E.D.D.'s new look, and it's pretty significant. "We think it's pretty face-melting," the developer said, referencing how the new design has T.E.D.D.'s face melted off. In the original version (see below), T.E.D.D. has a human-looking face covering his robotics.
First introduced in...

Former Bethesda executive Pete Hines has opened up on some of the predictions people made about Bethesda games over the years, and why he stuck to his guns when others doubted him.
Speaking to dbltap, Hines said people questioned if The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind would even work as an Xbox exclusive, or if The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim could find success with its release date--November 11, 2011--being so close to Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 (November 8, 2011).
"'Oh, Skyrim can't survive...

Gearbox CEO Randy Pitchford has responded to a preview complaining about Borderlands 4's performance. He says that the day one patch will improve performance, but that the game may not be playable on PCs that don't meet the minimum system requirements.
Pitchford made this statement in response to a Destructoid preview of Borderlands 4 from staff writer Scott Duwe, which praised the game but raised concerns about its PC performance. Responding to Duwe, Pitchford wrote on X, "The Day 1 patch...
Nintendo has secured another payout from a lawsuit it pursued against a producer of products designed to help pirate Switch games. Already notorious for its hardline approach to piracy, modding, and emulation, Nintendo has been granted a monetary judgment under which the target of the lawsuit must pay the company $2 million.
As spotted by X user OatmealDome, Ryan Michael Daly was found by a district court in Washington to have damaged Nintendo through his production and sale of modded...
Warhammer 40,000 fans have no shortage of games to choose from these days, but right now, one of the very best in the franchise is easily Space Marine 2. The sequel earned positive reviews and a dedicated fanbase when it launched last year, and one year later, it's getting a new limited edition with a bunch of DLC and a stylish steelbook case. Priced at $100 and available to preorder now, Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 Ultima Limited Edition will be released on November 18 for PS5 and Xbox...
Battlefield 2042’s recently released “Road to Battlefield 6” battle pass has proven to be a popular addition. Given it offers multiple cosmetic items for the upcoming Battlefield 6, a boost in active players makes sense. And with a more active community now playing the game, EA has announced that a small hotfix update is coming tomorrow, September 9.
The main issue seemed to be based on progression. Some of the weekly missions involving the M1 Garand, for instance, weren’t tracking...
