[ad_1] As Rodkin explained, Valve really does let developers work on the projects they like. Some of the ex-Campo crew started by “lending a hand” on Alyx, for example, and that switched to full-time work as the VR game edged closer to its March release. The Firewatch team’s knowledge of first-person adventures is “pretty relevant” […]

The next season of ‘Destiny 2’ returns to Mercury and Osiris
[ad_1] This being Destiny, there are also new goodies… lots of goodies. All players can access new seasonal armor sets and earn gear like Symmetry, an exotic scout rifle. Season pass holders, however, get plenty of perks. You’ll need a pass to play Sundial, but paying up also immediately unlocks Symmetry and offers access to […]
Get a PS4 Pro and three of its best games for $300 on Amazon
[ad_1] If you’re going to get a PS4 at this stage, the Pro is what you want. On top of being 4K-capable (though not for Blu-ray discs), it simply offer more performance and visual quality than the standard system. You can buy this knowing that PS4 titles will run as well as possible, and the […]
Stadia vs. xCloud: How these game-streaming services stack up
[ad_1] Most of the testing I’ve done has been on my home WiFi network, which averages 30Mbps to 40Mbps down and just under 10Mbps up. This is just within the connectivity ranges that both Google and Microsoft recommend for high-quality streams. Stadia runs on a handful of platforms: Pixel phones, tablets and laptops via the […]
‘Steven Universe: Unleash the Light’ arrives on Apple Arcade
[ad_1] The mechanics will be familiar if you’ve tried the game before. You control six of the series’ characters (including, of course, Steven) as they participate in JRPG-style battles for the fate of the galaxy. You can set formations and choose abilities that tip fights in your favor, including combo attacks and “Gem Fusions” that […]
‘Red Dead Redemption 2’ comes to Steam on December 5th
[ad_1] This won’t address glitches within Red Dead itself, but it is a start. It’s also an acknowledgment that the game industry’s attempts to reduce its dependency on Steam (and increase profit margins) can only go so far. Whether game creators like it or not, many gamers prefer to have all their games in one […]
‘Quake II RTX’ update delivers more realistic ray-traced visuals
[ad_1] The upgrade expands just where you’ll see ray tracing kick in, too. It’s now visible on security monitors, and you can even see hall-of-mirrors recursive reflections on certain surfaces. Performance might also improve depending on your system. You now have the choice of dynamic resolution scaling that will try to maintain 60 frames per […]
‘State of Decay 2’ brings zombie slaying to Steam in early 2020
[ad_1] Pricing and other details are still forthcoming, although you can add the game to your wishlist now if you’re already intrigued by it. This isn’t the first Microsoft Store-centric game to make the leap to Steam. However, it is an acknowledgment that Steam represents a large audience that’s hard to ignore. Even if there […]
PlayStation 4 Pro with ‘Modern Warfare’ drops to $300 before Black Friday
[ad_1] The Pro is the safest bet if you’re going to buy a PS4 at this stage. It’s not just that it does justice to your 4K TV (despite few games supporting native 4K) — it’s that many games run at higher frame rates, tout more visual detail or offer a combination of both. While […]
Twitch loses another top streamer, this time to Facebook
[ad_1] The broadcaster told CNN Business that he’d received offers from “every major streaming platform,” but chose Facebook because it had the “most explosive potential.” An undisclosed amount of money did change hands, but this suggested that the initial payout wasn’t the only factor. While Disguised Toast isn’t as big as recent Twitch departures like […]
