During their Intel Vision Event, Intel announced that their 13th Gen "Raptor Lake" CPUs will be released starting on October 20, 2022. Much like 2021's Alder Lake (12th Gen), Raptor Lake will again utilize a blend of performance (P-Cores) and efficiency (E-Cores) cores. Raptor Lake will make use of the new Z790 chipset, but it seems as though those with Z690 boards will still be fine to upgrade....
Amnesia: The Bunker Review (PC)
Frictional Games plays it safe. Perhaps a little too safe.
Frictional Games is known for crafting some of the most memorable horror game experiences over the past 15 years. They began with the Prenumbra series, a trio of titles that gave us our first taste of Frictional's penchant for blending survival horror with physics-based environmental puzzles. The studio then saw a spike in popularity with their next release, Amnesia: The Dark Descent. Amnesia: The Dark Descent expanded upon the...

After Us Review (PS5)
After Us offers a glimpse of our future and a warning of things to come.
A gaming experience where you engage in thoughtful introspection, wordless encounters, and some platforming across Earth's many diverse locations to undo the devastation caused by global warming sounds like an intriguing idea on paper. Its execution in After Us, however, leaves quite a bit to be desired. Some awkward platforming, poor combat, and performance woes will ultimately leave you feeling a little less...

Redfall is Arkane's Worst Game Ever
It's also the worst "AAA" developed title in recent memory.
It was a struggle to finish Redfall. It was an absolute struggle thanks to performance issues, technical deficiencies, crashes, broken A.I., and uninspired quest design. It was the antithesis of fun and I pushed myself to complete the game out of pure spite.
Prior to playing Redfall, I saw Arkane as a studio that could do no wrong when it comes to their output. Dark Messiah of Might and Magic in 2006...

UK Blocks Microsoft Activision Merger
The CMA claims the deal would harm cloud gaming.

The Finals is an upcoming free-to-play game in development by Embark Studios. This is the same studio made up of some former Battlefield series veterans that are also working on another free-to-play shooter called Arc Raiders. While Arc Raiders is far more of a sci-fi co-op style title, The Finals is more over the top extraction-focused competitive multiplayer action.

Atlus is Suing Fans for Reviving a Long Dead MMO
Game preservation be damned.
At least two fans of the long-dead MMO Shin Megami Tensei: Imagine are being sued by Atlus over copyright infringement. As first spotted by MarshSMT on Twitter, the fans that were trying to revive the MMO that Atlus shut down back in May 2016. A revived fan server first went live in late 2020 by people going by the online handles of Rekuiemu Games and COMP_Hack.
As part of their lawsuit, Atlus is claiming that the website used for the MMO's... -

The Game Rating and Administration Committee of Korea gave a rating (via Gematsu) to this still unannounced Silent Hill project. The publisher is listed as UNIANA, which apparently is a regular publisher for Konami's titles in Korea.

Overwatch 2 Framerate Cap Upped to 600 FPS
This is all due to the power of the upcoming RTX 4090.
When Overwatch 2 comes out, you will be able to run it at 600 FPS if you want (and can). This is apparently thanks to Nvidia teaming up with Blizzard on Nvidia Reflex support for Overwatch 2, which subsequently allowed the studios to increase the cap. The two companies are taking that slow and pathetic 400 FPS cap from the first Overwatch and cranking it up another 200 FPS.
Nvidia confirmed that framerates of over... -

Cyberpunk 2077 Sees Massive Player Surge
The surge can probably be most attributed to the new anime.
Cyberpunk 2077 came out at the tail end of 2020. It was met with some less than favorable reviews from critics and even worse reviews by fans. It was buggy and a lot of the mechanics simply felt incomplete. Plus, the less said about the last-gen release the better. CD Projekt Red has been working on bringing the game up to snuff in the months since and it seems like their efforts are finally starting to pay off for some.... -

by Shawn ZipayIt's a fairly stacked month.
May and into June is usually when the mid-year lull begins for new game releases. Yet here we are in June 2023 and there are some big games either already out or coming out in the weeks ahead.
There are several games coming out this month, many of which you might call "bangers" that you might just happen to have your eye on. This month's poll is simple and probably a retread of a poll (or several) that have been done in the past....Street Fighter 60%0Amnesia: The Bunker0%0Diablo 450.00%1Aliens: Dark Descent0%0Final Fantasy 16100.00%2AEW Fight Forever0%0Crash Team Rumble0%0-
