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.

    Another Look at The Crew PC Beta - City Hopping and Missions

    In this second part of the "look at" the PC beta for Ubisoft's open world racing game, The Crew, I hop to a few different cities and show you how missions are structured. In addition, I also share just how wonderful the mic quality is thanks to everyone having always open mics! From the looks of it, the closed beta period for The Crew on PC has come to a close. As such, there will be no more preview videos of the game from me. There probably wouldn't be any more videos from me any...

  • 30 FPS Lock in The Last of Us Remastered Enables Higher Quality Shadows in Game

    According to Crave Online, if you opt to play with the 30 FPS lock enabled for The Last of Us Remastered, you may be treated to some noticeably higher quality shadows. Unfortunately, while Crave and others with early copies are making this claim, there are no comparison screenshots yet that proves that this is indeed true. If it is, however, players are now left with a choice: Do you play with an unlocked framerate that often sits at 60fps or do you lock it down to an assured 30fps frame...

  • BioWare Teases New Project with Super Ominous Email - Possibly Shadow Realms

    Earlier today, I received an email from BioWare saying "You've Been Chosen." I ignored it for a bit since it was sent at almost 5AM and I continued to happily sleep a bit more. I finally get around to watching the trailer linked within and suddenly I'm hit with crazy, creepy visuals that are advertising something new from BioWare.

    Photo Mode in The Last of Us Remastered Sure Does Look Pretty

    Arne Meyer works at Naughty Dog. He also posts on NeoGAF. A recent post of his at NeoGAF contains an image that Neil Druckman took using the photo mode within The Last of Us Remastered.
    So Neil came by my desk earlier to talk about something and I had photo mode up and he started playing around with it. I left, came back a while better and he left this beauty up on the screen.

    So here you go... a photo mode screenshot personally composed by Neil.

    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?
