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

  • #NewsBits for January 26, 2016 - Quantum Break, $40, Final Fantasy, and Ghost Theory

    It's release day. Rather, it's the day of the week in which most games are released. That is otherwise known as "Tuesday" for most everyone else.

We also have Nintendo out there just throwing caution to the wind and releasing games on the weekend. Nintendo don't give a damn! I give a damn, though. I giv...

    Physics Based Rendering Added to Morrowind Engine

    A modder, Hrnchamd, managed to get Physics Based Rendering (PBR) and normal mapping added into the 14-year old Morrowind game engine. The video was uploaded by user PeterBitt on YouTube and shows off the work done by Hrnchamd.

    It obviously isn't the best looking use of PBR, but it could breathe some added life into that game one day.

    Hi everyone, I wanted to make a post about the fate of FNaF World. Even though the game had a “Very Positive” rating with 87%, I was not satisfied with the reviews and

    First Shenmue 3 Prototype Screens

    From the Magic Monaco press event in Paris comes the first three PROTOTYPE screenshots for Shenmue 3 that were taken from Facebook. I'll reiterate that point about these being from a prototype of the game. That's like pre-alpha stuff here.
