    The latest Battlefield blog has dice "addressing" the concerns players have over the netcode and tickrate issues found in Battlefield 4. So, what are they going to do to fix the terrible tickrate? Well, not much.

    Killzone: Shadow Fall Multiplayer Found to Run at 960x1080 Resolution

    If you thought something looked a little off in the multiplayer for Killzone: Shadow Fall when compared to the single player, you'd be right. Digital Foundry has recently discovered that Shadow Fall's multiplayer uses a 960x1080 framebuffer and runs closer to 50fps than a full 60fps.

    Now, there are some mitigating factors here. Shadow Fall uses a horizontal interlace, with every other column of pixels generated using a temporal upscale - in effect, information from previously

    Twitch Beat Pokemon Red After 16 Days

    It may have taken them 16 days, 7 hours, and 45 minutes, but Twitch has finally beaten Pokemon Red. And if that screenshot wasn't enough for you, then perhaps this video of the final battle with Blue from Twitch Plays Pokemon will warm the cockles of your heart.

    State of Decay: Lifeline Expansion is Detailed

    Can't get enough of trying to survive in the zombie apocalypse? Then you should keep an eye out on State of Decay: Lifeline, a new expansion for State of Decay that explores the military side of things.
    In zombie fiction, the military is often the go-to badguy. They’re the hammer to which every problem is a nail, blindly mowing everything down to serve some unknown goal. But this view is fairly one-sided and naïve. On the State of Decay team, we have a different perspective
