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...

    Ubisoft has confirmed that their online only racing title, The Crew, will run at a 1080p resolution but only at 30FPS on both the Xbox One and PlayStation 4.

    If you thought that the 30 frames per second was bad, you may not find much comfort in what Creative Director Julian Gerighty continued on to say.
    (Ivory Tower is) "really trying to get parity across all versions, so it's something that's important to us not to branch out and not do individual things for individual

    Stardock CEO Claims that DirectX 12 Will Double Xbox One GPU Performance

    In an article written for Neowin, the CEO and Founder of Stardock, Brad Wardell, claims that when DirectX 12 finally ships in late 2015, it will result in a "doubling of performance" across identical hardware.
    The results are spectacular. Not just in theory but in practice (full disclosure: I am involved with the Star Swarm demo which makes use of this kind of technology.) While each generation of video card struggles to gain substantial performance over the previous generation,

    Rumor: Next Borderlands Game is a Pre-Sequel

    If this rumor is true, Gearbox's Randy Pitchford wasn't lying when he said that Borderlands 3 wasn't yet in development at the studio. The latest rumor going around is that the next Borderlands title is a "pre-squel" and is actually going to be pegged as Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel.

    What this means is that the next game will take place in the span of time between the first Borderlands game and Borderlands 2. You will reportedly play as four new characters and it will take...
