Valve Announces Counter-Strike 2

Valve's massively popular FPS gets an engine upgrade and a test starting today.

Valve officially announced Counter-Strike 2 today after weeks of teases, speculation, and rumors. The developer calls this "the largest technical leap forward in Counter-Strike's history" and I'm inclined to believe it.

Counter-Strike 2 will launch to everyone starting in Summer of 2023. Counter-Strike 2 will be a free upgrade to Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. Some Counter-Strike:...
 

Sony's Jim Ryan Reportedly Said His Goal is to 'Block Your Merger' in Closed Door Meeting with Activision

The CEO of Sony Interactive Entertainment reportedly had some choice words during a meeting with Activision.

It has been a ridiculous day for Sony when it comes to new details that have come out about the company's opposition to the Microsoft and Activision Blizzard merger.

First, a new report from The Verge's Tom Warren shared some key pieces of information from documents (PDF download) that were recently submitted to the UK's Competition and Markets Authority (CMA)....
 

Review: The Outer Worlds: Spacer's Choice Edition

An easy purchase for new players but maybe a hard sell for existing owners.

It was not until I reinstalled the original PC release of The Outer Worlds that I was able to really appreciate the improvements made with the release of The Outer Worlds: Spacer's Choice Edition. Initially, I believed that this looked exactly like the same game that I had played on PC back in late 2019 when it first came out.

"I'm just not seeing what makes this Spacer's Choice Edition worth...

Valve shared their 2023 schedule of events with developers.

The entire schedule of big seasonal sales and themed Steam Fest events was shared yesterday by Valve. Now you'll know months in advance just how badly your bank accounts are going to hurt.

The list includes four major seasonal sales that include the spring, summer, autumn, and winter sales. In between most of these are small "Fest" events, which also typically have themed sales of their own. There will...
 

Ray Traced Half-Life 1 Mod Released

Experience the first Half-Life as you never have before.


A user-created mod for the original Half-Life brings some new visual splendor to the 1998 classic. Those with capable Nvidia GPUs can try out a mod that adds path tracing into Half-Life. The mod is free and, if you like a little modern eye candy in your classics, can be downloaded right now.

The mod utilizes a variation of the Xash3D FWGS engine along with a custom path traced renderer. So while this is technically...

    Resident Evil 4 Remake Sells Over 3 Million Copies in Just 2 Days

    Of all the Resident Evil remakes, this one is the best selling.

    Capcom says that the recently released Resident Evil 4 remake is selling very, very well. In its first two days of availability, Resident Evil 4 sold over three million copies.

    Electronic Arts announced today that they are laying off about 6% of their total workforce as part of a new restructuring plan. This same plan also includes "optimizing its real estate portfolio and re-focusing its efforts around growth opportunities." This unfortunate news comes to us courtesy of GamesIndustry.biz.

    As of their last annual report, EA employed 12,900 people globally. This information...

    Sega and Tencent Also Ditch E3 2023

    This show is about to feature Konami and Konami only.

    A day after Ubisoft announced that they were not going to attend E3 2023 after all, comes word that neither Sega nor Tencent will be there either. This news was shared with IGN by "numerous individuals in publishing and PR who typically have knowledge of event strategies."

    Many of these sources told IGN that they have not yet heard of anyone else who is planning to attend E3 2023. They also say that part of...

    What you need to know about in-game purchases - The Basics

    In-game purchases are now very common among players of all ages. What most gamers probably don't realise is that video game companies use behavioural psychology to heavily stimulate their customers before they even decide to make an in-game purchase. Mobile games played on phones and tablets, and in particular 'free-to-play' downloadable games, are currently leading the way in terms of monetisation. But how is it possible that a product that is free to download and play can, in fact, generate...

    Crime Boss: Rockay City Launch Trailer

    Get another look at a lot of yesterday's biggest stars.

    A launch trailer came out today for Crime Boss: Rockay City. If you don't know about this game, I can't say I really blame you. As far as I know, the only thing we heard about this game previously was when it was announced during The Game Awards last December.

    I haven't seen any news about this. I haven't seen previews about this game. In fact, they still haven't really shown off just what you're even doing in this...

    Servers will shut down in late June for the Early Access title.

    Warner Bros. Games and developer Player First Games announced that the Early Access for MultiVersus will end on June 25.

    Generation Zero Turns 4 as Devs Promise More Years to Come

    The open-world action game has come a long way since release.

    When Generation Zero launched four years back, it sure left a lot to be desired. The game felt mechanically clunky and there were a myriad of other issues that just left a bit of a sour taste in a lot of players' mouths. Since that release, developer Systemic Reaction has released numerous updates, fixes, and quite a bit of additional content (some free, some paid) that have pushed the game to sitting at a comfy "Mostly...

    If you have an RTX 3080 Ti, you may want to be careful.

    PC Gamer yesterday reported on an issue impacting those with Nvidia RTX 3080 Ti graphics cards trying to run the now open Diablo 4 beta.

    Battlefield 2042 Update 4.1.0 Changelog

    This update arrives the final week of March.
    Next week, DICE is preparing to roll out the 4.1.0 update for Battlefield 2042. This is the first major update for Season 4: Eleventh Hour, though it's not the first update of the season. This one is a doozy. It contains new vault weapons, an overhaul to how armor plates work, improvements to text chat, and much more.

    Before diving into the decently long changelog for update 4.1.0, DICE also shared a bit of information on the upcoming...

  • Poll: What Platform Do you Game on the Most?
    by Shawn Zipay
    Do you prefer consoles? PC? Maybe mobile is your preferred platform?

    This month's poll is a bit generic if only because I really don't know what to ask right now and this is the easiest thing that came to mind. The question is simple: Which sort of platform do you prefer to play games on?

    Do you like playing on consoles? Do you prefer to play games on PC? What about mobile games? Maybe you prefer to spend most of your time on your phone playing this, that, or the other....
