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. Though the initial lawsuit against Valve was dismissed, Wolfire amended their suit in May 2022 and the legal battle was back on.

    How One Letter Completely Broke Aliens: Colonial Marines AI

    This is a little piece of interesting news I'm starting to see make the rounds this evening. About five years after its disastrous release, it has been discovered that a single letter managed to break a significant part of the A.I. for Aliens: Colonial Marines.

    The creator the highly regarded overhaul mod called TemplarGFX's Aliens Colonial Marines Overhaul, found that because a programmer misspelled the word "Tether" in an .ini file, most of the A.I. became a massively dumbed...

  • Resident Evil 4 HD Project Released, Giving an Old Classic a Massive Visual Boost


    The latest release of the Resident Evil 4 HD Project is available to be downloaded. Weighing in at a hefty 28.5GB, this release overhauls nearly every texture for Resident Evil 4 HD that came out for the PC a few years back. The mod was created because despite the "HD" in the game's name, the texture work by Capcom was severely lacking. Two modders, who just happened to live near the area where the original textures were sourced from, began this project nearly three and a half ...

    After Just Two Days, Only One Person is Still Playing The Culling 2

    Despite The Culling 2 coming out just two days ago, the game can already be declared dead. As of this posting, there is only one person playing the game. Perhaps it's a fluke but let's take a look at the bigger picture.

    The game has a 24-hour peak of just 7 players. It has an all-time peak of 249 players and that was right when the game was released. These are stats pulled from Steam Charts, which you can always view for yourself via Steam Charts if you don't believe me. It also...

    Valve Updates Dota Plus with Special Summer Update

    Back in March, Valve announced and released Dota Plus, a subscription service that they called an "evolution of the Majors Battle Pass." It featured a bunch of perks not available to non-subscribers but things kind of fell quiet for a number of months.

    A bit of unfortunate news to start with today and that is the fact that Code Vein has been delayed until 2019. This comes directly from Bandai Namco that says the original September 28, 2018 release just wasn't going to be feasible anymore.
    “CODE VEIN has received an enormous amount of positive feedback from eager fans who have received hands-on time with in-development versions of the game over the past nine months,” said Eric Hartness, Vice President of Marketing for BANDAI NAMCO

    by Shawn Zipay
    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.

    Between the Rocksteady developed live-service Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League and the "AAAA" quality Ubisoft developed Skull and Bones: Which is the bigger disappointment for you?
