Bloober Team, it’s fair to say, is not everyone’s cup of tea. Some people like what they do quite a lot, and others, well, not so much. So when Konami announced the Silent Hill 2 remake in 2022, and that Bloober was making it, the reaction was not universally enthusiastic. In a new interview with Rolling Stone, Bloober Team CEO Piotr Babieno acknowledged the apprehension but said the studio has come a long way over the years and expressed hope that fans will “give us a chance” to prove what it can do.
Some of the concerns about the Silent Hill 2 remake are the result of Konami’s less-than-stellar record with the series in recent years. The Twitch Plays-style episodic series Silent Hill Ascension, for instance, was “a complete disaster” in the words of staff writer Harvey Randall, and so poorly written some viewers assumed it had to scripted by AI, even though the head of the production company responsible for it insisted that wasn’t the case.
Bloober Team itself, a…

The faux-Soviet shooter Atomic Heart comes out on February 21, which means that if you want to play, you have just under two weeks to get your PC in shape to make it happen. And now you have proper targets to aim for on that front, thanks to the detailed system requirements released today by developer Mundfish.
You can apparently get away with a pretty low-spec unit, according to these numbers, as long as you don’t mind putting up with what I’m sure would be a commensurately low-end experience. But even the high setting isn’t killer: It doesn’t offer the visual glory of 4K, but it doesn’t demand a 4K-capable system either.
Game director Robert Bagratuni told WCCF Tech that the rated FPS for each specification is the minimum players will get “during fierce battles in the most crowded locations,” and that in most locations it will be much higher. “For example, with the GeForce GTX 1650 graphical card, the players will get a minimum of 60FPS, while a maximum indicator in mo…
Take Genshin Impact, make it turn-based, and crank the anime dial up to 11 and you have Honkai: Star Rail, the next game from MiHoYo.
The free-to-play game just entered its final beta and the dates on its Apple App Store and Google Play Store page suggest it might release in April. The game’s final beta started on February 10, and over two million people have pre-registered (basically wishlisting) for the final game on PC and mobile.
Before MiHoYo made Genshin Impact, it was making Honkai, a Evangelion-inspired sci-fi action series in which Earth is stuck in a battle with a malevolent cosmic force of the same name. Honkai: Star Rail continues after Honkai 3rd and borrows a lot of the successful parts of Genshin Impact’s design.
You play as one of two main protagonists and explore planets with a crew of four characters. Each character has elemental attacks and plays a particular role within your team comp. It’s a gacha game, so building a strong team to face harder …
The benefits of AI can be debated. But one thing we’re all sure about is that massive server farms packed full of hundreds or thousands of high-end AI GPUs, each consuming hundreds of watts, soak up a lot of power. Right?
Not Jensen Huang, the CEO of Nvidia whose catchphrase has become “the more you buy, the more you save”, in reference to his company’s stratospherically expensive AI chips. Perhaps inevitably, Huang has a similar take when it comes to the power consumption associated with the latest AI models, which mostly run on Nvidia hardware.
Speaking in a Q&A following his Computex keynote, Huang’s point is firstly that Nvidia’s GPUs do computations much faster and more efficiently than any alternative. As he puts it, you want to “accelerate everything”. That saves you money, but it also saves you time and power.
Next, he distinguished between training AI models and inferencing them and how the latter can offer dramatically more efficient ways of getting c…
Ready or Not’s Home Invasion DLC feels like the expansion packs of old. There’s a wedge of new missions, a few new weapons, some cosmetics and a QOL update (free for all players) that eases a few of the game’s pain points, refreshing its multiplayer lobbies while also beefing up AI and audio. Home Invasion also comes in at $9.99, making it a steal for those already invested in Void Interactive’s misanthropic cop-’em-up.
Home Invasion adds three new missions taking place after a once-in-a-century storm has burnt through the city of Los Sueños. This is the only thematic link between them, but it’s reinforced well—while each of the levels is different, flooded landscapes and scattered debris give them a cohesive visual identity.
The three new additions to the game’s arsenal feel inessential. Weapons in Ready or Not have always felt like they were there to fetishise rather than to provide meaningful gameplay options, and the…
It may have escaped your notice, but word on the street is that Nvidia is doing rather well of late. Fourth quarter earnings released earlier this year revealed gigantic revenue and net income figures thanks to surging AI demand, and now a recent report from Trendforce shows that the company has overtaken Qualcomm to become the biggest chip designer by revenue, too.
The figures show that Nvidia raked in $55.268 billion in revenue in 2023, in contrast to the second biggest chip designer, Qualcomm, which managed $30.913 billion over the same period. That puts Nvidia firmly at the top of the table, beating out Broadcom, AMD, Mediatek and others by a substantial margin and leaving the company at an estimated market share of 33%, up 15% over the previous year.
Notable by their absence in these figures are Intel and Samsung, as the list doesn’t seem to include chip makers with their own fabrication facilities. Presumably Intel will appear once the switch to its “internal found…
That sure didn’t take long. Tomb Raider 1-3 Remastered is out today, delivering a very nice graphical update to Lara Croft’s original three adventures along with some other niceties, including modern controls and high framerate support. Within hours mods for the remaster were popping up on the Nexus page, most of the initial wave seemingly focused on adding the classic graphics into the remastered graphics mode so they can be appreciated with the updated lighting and added environmental details. It also took less than 12 hours for someone to upload a topless Lara mod, because, well, of course.
It’s hard to think of a more primal bit of gaming lore than the “Tomb Raider nude code,” a schoolyard rumor that made its way into gaming magazines and message boards and circulated for years even though it did not exist. In 2021, one of the game’s developers reflected on the rumor, indicating that publisher Eidos didn’t exactly go out of its way to debunk it.
“Even during developm…
Award-winning singer and songwriter Post Malone is bringing “two weeks of mayhem” to Apex Legends in November. What does that mean? I’ll be blunt with you: I have no idea.
Word of whatever this might be came by way of Post Malone’s Twitter account, where he wrote, “Get ready for two weeks of beautiful mayhem #ApexLegends.” The cryptic message was laid atop a brief video clip in which Posty, sprawled out on the floor like he’d just eaten a burst from an R-301, plaintively calls out, “Can someone rez me?”
When I first read that Post Malone was coming to Fortnite, my mind immediately flashed to Travis Scott’s groundbreaking (and money-making) virtual concert in Fortnite. Anything’s possible, and it would be very cool if something like that was in the works—it would be a huge step forward for Apex Legends as a digital world—but I don’t think it’s a realistic expectation: Apex isn’t a metaverse type of thing like Fortnite, and setting up an in-game event of that s…
