Goichi “Suda51” Suda and Hidetaka “Swery65” Suehiro are two of the most idiosyncratic creators working in the games industry today, renowned for making cult classics like No More Heroes and Deadly Premonition. Hotel Barcelona sees the two teaming up for new game, and unsurprisingly, their sensibilities blend together to create something distinctly strange: a time-looping,...

One thing writers and multinational consumer electronics corporations have in common is we both need a good editor. Or, failing that, at least a good spell-checker. OnePlus somehow missed that step when launching the OnePlus Watch 3, which had its scheduled Tuesday launch abruptly halted because of an embarrassing typo. On the back of the watch, early buyers discovered that their $330 smartwatch was "meda in China." As a result, you'll now have to wait until April to buy the device. At least som...

It’s easy to find DIY repair kits that include a diverse mix of screwdriver bits, spudgers, picks, and other tools that let you tinker with the innards of your gaming controllers and consoles. But Hoto’s kit stands out from the rest because it includes a fantastic electric screwdriver and a magnetic pad on top of...

The reveal of the Powerplay 2 from Logitech reminds me of the adage "if it ain't broke, don't fix it." Unfortunately, Logitech hasn't taken this approach. The original Powerplay charging mouse mat was an innovative gaming peripheral, but its successor pulls back on most of its features, seemingly all in the name of cost. Thankfully, the core principle of being able to perpetually charge a Logitech gaming mouse remains and it's still the only product offering such technology today. We have the or...

Some serious future-proofing.

Hop on your Seikret and gather your friends, it's nearly time to go hunting.

First announced at CES 2024, the Clicks physical keyboard add-on for iPhones has proven to be a modest hit. Soon, some Android users will be able to get in on the action. That’s right. The company just announced a redesign specifically for certain Android handsets. The overall design doesn’t look too different from the iPhone version. It’s a sleeve that you pop the phone into. Once connected, you can type with physical keys via a free Android companion app. There’s backlit keys, USB-C charging a...

The Apple Watch Ultra 3 is expected to launch later this year, arriving two years after the previous model with a series of improvements. While no noticeable design changes are expected for the third generation since the company tends to stick with the same Apple Watch design through three generations before changing it, there are a series of internal upgrades on the way. By the time the Ultra 3 is announced in September, it will have been two years since the previous model arrived, leaving plen...

The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (TMNT) event is skating into Black Ops 6 on Thursday, Feb. 27. The TMNT event is coming with a ton of new rewards through its very own event pass.

Steam Next Fest — the triannual online event dedicated to spotlighting demos from new games — is back this month for another weeklong celebration of recent and upcoming titles. With only a week’s worth of time, there’s only so many hours one has to play through Next Fest’s best, let alone sift through everything else!...

High-end AMD processors take top billing in our rankings of the best gaming CPUs, but most people should get the cheapest somewhat modern CPU that can fit into their system.

Silent Hill 2 remake wranglers Bloober Team have emerged from the newly high-resolution, volumetric fog to threaten us with the prospect of another "game based on Konami's IP". Thank heavens, I was beginning to think we'd never get a new Frogger. Whatever the project is, we won't hear about it for a while.

After Charlie Cox’s Daredevil gets born again on Disney Plus, Jon Bernthal’s Punisher will be the next Netflix-era Marvel superhero to headline his own TV project, according to Entertainment Weekly. Bernthal will co-write a Punisher special — in the same vein as the one-installment MCU specials Werewolf by Night and the Guardians of the Galaxy...

If you’re a budding Muad d'ib who can’t wait to sweep across the sands in an ornithopter, or see an enormous sandworm, then you’ll want to download the new Dune Awakening benchmark. You can now give your PC hardware a workout to see how it will handle the new game, and the good news is that the game not only looks good, but it will also run at a decent frame rate at maximum settings. With the Dune Awakening release date approaching, now is a great time to download the benchmark for yourself and ...

Microsoft has announced it's delaying its long-awaited Fable reboot - originally scheduled to launch this year - into 2026, in order to give it "more time".

The latest episode of the Official Xbox Podcast came with some bad news for Fable fans: The reboot, first announced almost five years ago, has been pushed back to 2026. Here’s what Craig Duncan, head of Xbox Game Studios, had to say about the delay — starting at 14:13 in the video above — while...

Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 has already put itself in contention to be this year’s best new RPG, but Fable has constantly been lurking on the horizon. The new reboot of the fantasy series by Playground Games has all the right ingredients to go toe to toe with KCD2 - well, apart from one rather important thing. It’s no longer coming out in 2025. Dang.

Could overclocking be the saviour of this generation of GPUs?

Shiro Games has released a brand new Wartales roadmap for 2025, and it's promising free updates, new paid DLC, and more for the gritty RPG.

Nine years after its release, Dark Souls 3 is finally a seamless co-op experience.

River rapids and evolving frog-men can't quite shake up the meta, even if a hard-earned victory feels as sweet as ever.

Xbox and Playground Games' upcoming Fable reboot has been delayed to 2026, Xbox Game Studios head Craig Duncan has confirmed.

The Philips Hue Sync app is now available for many LG televisions, allowing synchronization between smart lights and TV screens. This eliminates the need for one of those dedicated sync boxes, as everything gets handled through the app. For the uninitiated, Philips Hue smart lights dynamically adjust color and brightness to match the content playing on-screen. The app, along with an associated Hue lighting system, works with content from set-top boxes, streaming sticks, platforms like Netflix an...

Generative AI has been a controversial topic in gaming, prompting Steam in January 2024 to require developers to disclose use of the technology on their store pages. On Monday, Call of Duty news site CharlieIntel noticed that Activision had added such a disclaimer to the Call of Duty Steam page. The note simply reads: “Our...

A question, readers. What sounds more fun: doddering about on your own two feet – like an idiot – or storming through deserts on a cannon-packing megacrab? I only make such a clearly self-answering inquiry because for some reason DuneCrawl, or at least the Steam Next Fest demo that shows off its isometric action, seems to think both sides have valid points.

A whole new world opens. After being formally announced last week, Gameloft has now revealed the full patch notes for Disney Dreamlight Valley's upcoming 'Tales of Agrabah' update, which is set to land on Switch tomorrow (26th February). The headline addition for this one is the new 'Agrabah’s Market' Realm, which welcomes Aladdin and Jasmine to the Valley. Naturally, the arrival of the iconic couple brings with it plenty of new quests and crafts, with even the flying carpet getting in on the ac...

Back in 2023, the Skyblivion team announced that their project to recreate The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion in Skyrim's engine was on track for a 2025 release date. Well, steal my sweet rolls and shout me off a mountain, the mad candles have gone and done it. At least, that's the plan according to a new live gameplay demo and Q&A video (cheers, PC Gamer.)

British creatives are speaking out against the government's proposed changes to copyright law. Take Kate Bush, Annie Lennox and Ben Howard, who join over 1,000 musicians in releasing a protest album called Is This What We Want?.  Currently, AI developers must follow the same copyright laws as anyone else, meaning they can't use creative material to train models without permission. However, the December 2024 proposal would provide them with a copyright exemption that requires creatives to "opt ou...

The Ultrakill Ultra Revamp update is upon us, and it brings performance and visual improvements, new levels, and a massive Steam player upsurge.

A lot of horror fans discover Stephen King on their own, pretty early in their lives, if only because it seems like he’s always in the news over one release, adaptation, event or another. Take the most recent batch of King-related screen projects, for instance. Oz Perkins’ goofy, gory short-story adaptation The Monkey is in...

The post Xbox Game Studios Update With Craig Duncan | Official Xbox Podcast appeared first on Xbox Wire.

Illustrious headwobbles and action heroes, with a heaping helping of games to share.

"I don't know how to express how unprepared I was for the level of generosity I've received."

If you're a music fan of a certain age, there's a good chance MTV Unplugged has special place in your heart. With the first episode airing in 1989, over the decades the series has produced some of the most memorable live performances in history. Who could forget Nirvana's set, recorded less than a year before Kurt Cobain would tragically take his own life in 1994, or when Alice in Chains played one of its final shows with former lead vocalist Layne Staley. There are too many memorable episodes t...

I mean, it's pretty great!
