    If ever there was a prime example of the Streisand effect, this is it.

  • Capcom Promises Fix for Resident Evil Village Performance Issues

    Capcom Promises Fix for Resident Evil Village Performance Issues

    Capcom is pushed into action after hackers release a better performing version.

    This week, a cracked version of Resident Evil Village was released by Empress. With it came word that this cracked release pretty much eliminated the very severe and very apparent framerate dips and hitching found in the official release of the game. The culprit seemed to be a double whammy of DRM that Capcom implemented into the game: Denuvo and Capcom's own DRM system.

    The hitching and framerate...

    Despite Report, Marvel's Avengers' Wakanda Campaign is Not 25 Hours Long

    Lost in translation.

    An earlier report about the upcoming Wakanda campaign for Marvel's Avengers said that the new content would take players about 25 hours to complete. This report, presented by Entertainment Weekly, claimed that the 25 hours would be in addition to the content available in the base game.

    Unfortunately, that seems to be a misinterpretation by the person who wrote the article. Square Enix clarified what was actually meant by this "25 hour" remark....

    Valve Announces Steam Deck, A Handheld PC Starting at $399

    This new device is the first in a new series of handheld PC from Valve.

    Back in May 2021, a rumor came out suggesting that Valve was working on a new handheld PC device called the SteamPal. While that is partially true, the one thing that didn't stick through to the end was the name. These devices are officially called Steam Deck and they start at a pretty affordable $399 (USD) MSRP.

    Valve says that Steam Deck is a "powerful all-in-one portable PC." It has a...

    Cross-play Confirmed for Battlefield 2042 but with a Catch

    The catch may not be all that big of a deal, depending on your point of view.

    EA has confirmed that Battlefield 2042 will include cross-play support. However, not all platforms will be able to play with all other platforms.

    Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl is about as close as you're going to get to a Nickelodeon themed Smash Bros. game without actually being a Smash Bros. game. Unlike Smash Bros., which are only ever released on Nintendo platforms, Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl is coming to the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and the Nintendo Switch in Fall 2021.

    Apex Legends Cross-Progression Development Slows Due to Recent Hacks

    It's almost like DDoS'ing is a bad thing done by bad people.

  • Poll: Are You a Fan of Paying More to Play Early?
    by Shawn Zipay
    Get that Premium Edition and play three days early!

    Looks like the latest growing trend with game releases is to offer a more expensive Premium or Gold or whatever edition that grants you access to a game a few days ahead of its official release.

    Starfield did it with their $99.99 (USD) Premium Edition. Today, Payday 3 is doing an "Early Access" release with their Silver and Gold editions. Diablo 4 did the same thing earlier in the year, as did Madden NFL 24,...

    I think it's kind of dumb that people get to play earlier. Spending more shouldn't offer a "head start" on other paying customers.
