The Crew was Ubisoft's open-world racing game that was pulled from sale back in December 2023. As of March 31, 2024, Ubisoft shut down the online servers for The Crew. This effectively made the game unplayable across all platforms, including: PC,...
 

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

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

No, Starfield and Indiana Jones are not going multi-platform any time soon.

    Today is the day that the three day hold on trades goes into effect for non-Authenticator users. To go along with today's big change to trading, Valve issued a rather comprehensive statement on why this new policy is going into effect and why account security is so important.

    Super Smash Bros. Final Presentation Coming December 15

    Nintendo will host its final Super Smash Bros. video presentation on December 15 at 2PM (PT). The Nintendo of America Twitter made a note of it earlier today. Given the wording, one can only assume that this means the flow of content for the game will slow to a mere trickle afterwards.

  • Fans Outraged Over Latest CS:GO Update that Introduced a New Gun, Kill Cam, and More

    Last night, an update came out for Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. This wasn't any run of the mill update either, this was a big hefty update that introduced a new weapon, a kill cam, a change in the C4 and round timers, and a bunch of other stuff. Needless to say, fans are upset. The initial burst of outrage came from the usual suspects when it comes to boo-hoo'ing over changes made to the game: The Counter-Strike "pros." They were upset that they might have to do what professiona...

  • Sony Using 50Hz PAL Versions of PlayStation 2 Games on PlayStation 4

    Sony Using 50Hz PAL Versions of PlayStation 2 Games on PlayStation 4

    Sony is apparently trying to remain incredibly faithful to the original PlayStation 2 releases of the games they recently put on the PlayStation 4. In the UK, the emulated PS2 releases are again running at 50Hz and converted to a 60Hz output. This creates some weird frame-blending effects that look bad to the player and result in "frame-pacing issues" that resemble micro-stutters or hitching when the framerate is actually perfectly fine. It's quite easy to see the effect in the video below. ...

  • Chun-Li Lets Her Hair Down and Ryu Loses His Shirt in New Street Fighter V Clips

    Some new gameplay clips from Street Fighter V surfaced earlier today. The clips feature footage from Ryu, Chun-Li, Cammy, and Bison. You'll notice that they have some decidedly different looks to what you usually expect from these characters. Ryu looks like he'd be at home in a bum fight, Chun-Li let her hair down, Bison has a bit of a biker thing going on, and I've no real idea what Cammy typically looks like but it's probably not her usual look in the video below. ...

  • Final Fantasy VII Remake - Details on the "Episodic" Release

    Final Fantasy VII Remake - Details on the "Episodic" Release

    Last night, word came out that Final Fantasy VII Remake was going to be an episodic release. I apologize for that wording because that specific word, episodic, was never used in the press release that was sent out. That was what I inferred from the phrasing of the mailing, perhaps wrongfully. Today, Square Enix and the Remake development team cleared up a few misconceptions about what they mean by "multi-part series." The information will perhaps put a few minds at ease and raise all-n...
