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...

During today's pre-recorded podcast and subsequent blog post, head of Xbox Phil Spencer stated that four Xbox exclusives are going to be multi-platform releases. Is it Starfield? Indiana Jones? Gears of War? Halo?! No, no, no, and no. Though Spencer did not specify what those four titles ...

  • PS4 2.50 Firmware Rumored for April Includes System Level Key Remapping and Suspend/Resume

    Apparently, Sony has started up a closed beta for firmware updates on the PlayStation 4. And apparently, despite people being sworn to secrecy due to signing an NDA, some information on the next update has indeed started to leak. What then can we expect in the rumored 2.50 firmware update for the PlayStation 4? Well...

    That's right. If that screenshot is legitimate, it looks like 2.50 will allow users to remap every button on their DualShock 4 controllers on a system leve...

    New Co-op and PvP Details Revealed for Bloodborne

    Along with a few new screenshots, some fresh details emerged today from the Japanese Bloodborne about what fans can expect for the co-op and PvP aspects of the game. Now, the list may be a bit off given errors in translating.
    - Co-op is still the same as in the network alpha, hosts use a Lulling Bell to request help and the game automatically matches them to a helper who has used the Small Resonant Bell (there are no summon signs in Bloodborne) - Co-op ends when a boss is defeated or th

  • Exclusive: More Cities: Skylines Hands-On Gameplay - Unlimited Money and All Buildings Mods Used

    Cities: Skylines is embracing the mod scene in a big way, even going so far as to offer up Steam Workshop support. Right now, there isn't too much in the way of custom content but that probably stands to reason because the game isn't out yet until the 10th. However, there are a few mods out there that I was able to test out last night. I believe these were added by the developer, Colossal Order. The ones used allow me to have unlimited funds while another unlocks all of the non-special buildings. ...

    Three Hours of Cities: Skylines Gameplay

    I played Cities: Skylines today. I played that game for three hours straight for the first time ever. I streamed it live on the Internet for all to view and if you missed it, you're in luck because you can watch all three hours right now. Now, the audio mix is completely screwed up for at least the first hour. Since I had to upload to YouTube directly from Twitch, the usual editing and attempts at quality control on my videos are not in place. With that said, here's unedited gameplay for t...

    Valve has opened up an apparent one stop shop location for all things Steam Machines. Over at the Steam storefront, you can now take a look at the various offerings a variety of vendors have put together under the "Steam Machines" umbrella.

    Rockstar passed along 31 brand new screenshots for the upcoming Heists update hitting GTA Online on March 10. In addition, they also revealed a new teaser of some of the gameplay you'll encounter during those heists. If they ever made this game into a film, they should look no further than Theo James movies for ideas on who to hire.


    The trailer, seen below, offers the briefest glimpse at the gameplay you can expect from the heists. ...

Yes, the famous franchise from Harmonix is coming back and this time it's coming only to the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.


    Will your old instruments work from the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3? Maybe. Will all of those DLC songs and imported tracks work? Sure!* *Assuming you aren't...

    A Short Video from Valve's Portal VR Demo

    Maximum PC took some footage from a portion of Valve's talk on virtual reality. During the talk, they showed off a short "Aperture Science VR Demo." It's important to note here that while we believe this is running on Source 2 (the lighting could be a big sign of this), it was not specifically announced as running on Source 2.


    Even if it wasn't Source 2, the fact that it's VIRTUAL REALITY should be awesome enough for anybody!...

    During a keynote today at GDC 2015, Microsoft provided a few details on DirectX 12, Windows 10, ID@Xbox, and more. First up, let's take a quick look at what Xbox One owners can expect from DirectX 12. According to Microsoft, DirectX 12 will add an addition 20% boost to the Xbox One GPU.

The reveal happened during Epic's keynote this morning where Tim Sweeney, Weta Digital, Oculus, and others in the industry were showing off a demo of a new VR experience called Thief in the Shadows.

    A Look at Valve's New Steam Controller

    The latest, and perhaps final look, for Valve's Steam Controller was shown off at GDC 2015 this week. Engadget managed to snag some hands-on time with it and offers up both impressions and screenshots.
    I spent roughly 10 minutes with the final Steam Controller at GDC 2015, playing snippets of Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor, The Talos Principle and Unreal Tournament on various Steam Machines. The body of the controller is wonderful to hold. Two long, clickable pads running along the backside

  • Poll: What is 2024's Biggest Gaming Disappointment So Far?
    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?
