Random: Samus Aran "Joins" Monster Hunter Wilds Thanks To Epic Fan Creation

And she's brought some unlikely pals. Yes, you read that right. Raised by Chozo, DNA spliced to hell and back, and with several incredibly demanding missions behind her, Super Metroid's Samus Aran — ex-Galactic Federation superstar (and part-time metal ball) — has somehow found the energy to start slapping big monsters around the Forbidden Lands. What an absolute legend. As shown in these Monster Hunter Wilds screens from @Rulia_Hermitaur, a talented artist can use the incredibly flexible charac...

It's 2025, so it should be no surprise that another organization has sold its soul (entered into a licensing deal with an AI company) for an undisclosed sum. A new partnership allows UK-based Synthesia to access Shutterstock's content library for training its latest AI model, EXPRESS-2. This deal isn't the first of its kind for Shutterstock, which previously teamed up with OpenAI to sell stock images made using AI generator DALL-E 2.

Ex Blizzard boss explains how he’d fix Diablo 4

As Diablo 4 struggles to find its feet despite stellar launch reviews and an equally brilliant expansion, former Blizzard president Mike Ybarra has taken to X (formerly Twitter) to explain how he'd fix the game's issues. With the ARPG's next expansion pushed into next year despite initial promises of annual DLCs, alongside a somewhat lukewarm response to its seasonal model, Diablo 4 isn't doing as well as Blizzard might have hoped. As competitors like Path of Exile 2 and Last Epoch continue to t...

Waiting for the Perfect MacBook Pro? 2026 Might Be the Year

Apple in October 2024 overhauled its 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models, adding M4, M4 Pro, and M4 Max chips, Thunderbolt 5 ports on higher-end models, display changes, and more. That's quite a lot of updates in one go, but if you think this means a further major refresh for the ‌MacBook Pro‌ is now several years away, think again. Bloomberg's Mark Gurman has said he expects only a small performance boost for the 2025 ‌MacBook Pro‌ models with the introduction of new M5 chips, while the "tru...

Surprise, Palworld Dev Isn't Fond Of The 'Pokémon With Guns' Description

Gee, wonder why... "Pokémon with guns" became the go-to description for Pocketpair's Palworld because, well, the screenshots and footage shown around its initial announcement indicated that, yes, the in-game creatures look like Pokémon holding guns. According to communications director and publishing manager John ‘Bucky’ Buckley (thanks, IGN), the "Pokémon with guns" moniker isn't particularly well-liked by the folks over at Pocketpair.

You never owned the game, insist Ubisoft to The Crew players that are suing the publisher

Ubisoft's lawyers have responded to a legal action from players of defunct racing game The Crew by insisting that those players never owned the game in the first place. The players made their lawsuit to complain about the game being made unplayable when servers were shut down last year, but Ubisoft have now responded to argue that the game was only "licensed" to those playing, and players should never have expected the game to be useable in perpetuity.

Random: Nintendo Nearly Parked Mario Kart: Double Dash's Dual-Driver Hook

Mario Kart: Single Dash!! Sure, Mario Kart World's free-roaming and knockout races are something, but do you remember back when you used to be able to squeeze two racers onto one kart? Now that was a hook. That's exactly what Mario Kart: Double Dash!! brought to the table in 2003, the first and last time we would see the mechanic crop up in the series. However, the classic GameCube racer was almost a lot more singular, with Nintendo considering parking the dual-driver gameplay for something more...

Underneath that, however, is a colossal MMO where hundreds of players duke it out in month-long wars that require teamwork, skill, and intimate knowledge of your surroundings. If that sounds like it's for you, Warborne is hosting a new Steam playtest incredibly soon.
