Tim Sweeney Called Valve 'Assholes' in Email to Gabe Newell, Valve COO Says 'You Mad Bro?'

Tim Sweeney is always mad.

The antitrust lawsuit against Valve from Wolfire Games got a little spicy this week. To quickly get you up to speed: Wolfire claims that Valve uses its position with Steam to control game prices and muscle out competition.

It may have taken almost two years, but we are now starting to see some of the documents that...

    This Official Forza Horizon 4 Commercial is Amusing and Informative

    If you still don't know too much about the upcoming open world racing experience that is Forza Horizon 4, then maybe this new official commercial will help you to understand.

    Though it is informative, it still seems to have left the poor narrator a little confused.

    First Look at The Surge's Western Themed Expansion

    Even though The Surge 2 was announced, that doesn't mean work stopped on the original game. In fact, there's an entirely new expansion coming out for The Surge that maybe isn't what you expected to see out of the game.

    It's called The Good, the Bad, and the Augmented and it's got a decidedly western theme going on. Just like the base game, it will put your action-RPG skills to the test.

    Valve Making Great Strides to Combat Steam's Content Problem

    Valve just updated their blog today with some information that I honestly wasn't expecting to see. A few months ago Valve's Erik Johnson put up a blog post that more or less said that they were going to be working on making things better in the Steam store and would work on removing games and developers that were being obvious trolls or those with illegal content in their games.

    It sounded, at least to me, like they were again going to be super hands off and let the market curate...

    This is the Full Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 'Blackout' Map

    Charlie INTEL has pieced together the full battle royale map that will be used for the Blackout mode in Call of Duty: Black Ops 4. I say "pieced together" because Activision and Treyarch were sending out direct messages to a number of Call of Duty communities with small sections of the overall map. Those communities then shared the media they were sent with the world, typically through Twitter posts. It took a bit of time, but it looks like all of the pieces finally fell into place. Thi...

    The Intro to Metal Gear Solid Looks Damn Good in Unreal Engine 4

    A fan took the time to remake the intro to Metal Gear Solid using Unreal Engine 4. The video, seen below, was uploaded to the Warpgazer YouTube channel and is said to be made by Erasmus Brosdau.

    The description says that everything was "real-time rendered" in engine and used a variety of Unreal marketplace assets. The intro is presented pretty much as you probably remember it, a few exceptions being some tweaks to sound effects and the start menu design.

    It's AAAA vs WB.

    March isn't even over yet and we've already seen a couple of stinkers come out from major gaming studios. While we tend to focus on the surprise hits or quality titles in these polls, this time it's a little bit different.
