A new leak suggests that the new AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D and 9900X3D gaming CPUs will launch next month. If the rumor is true, these new 12 and 16-core Zen 5 chips will be available to purchase in just under three weeks time, bringing even more processors with AMD's powerful 3D V-Cache technology into the high-end CPU market. It's the 3D V-Cache technology, more than any other enhancement, that has allowed AMD to dominate with the best gaming CPUs in recent years. Contenders such as the 7800X3D and 9800X3D have consistently beaten the competition so far, with Intel's latest Core Ultra lineup failing to impress gamers, as our Intel Core Ultra 265K review shows.

I get the feeling Rockstar just enjoys teasing PC players. GTA 5? A nearly two-year wait between its original 360/PS3 launch and it hitting our desktops. Red Dead Redemption 2? One year. Red Dead 1? 14 years. GTA 6? Unknown. Potentially infinite... Read more.View the full article
Whatever comes out of Brendan Greene’s sprawling 10-year trilogy of projects at PlayerUnknown Productions, it won’t be a successor to Player Unknown’s Battlegrounds, popularly known hereabouts as Plunkbat - the grandfather of battle royales, which Greene developed as creative director at Bluehole, a subsidiary of Krafton.

The Scuf Valor Pro is an Xbox controller and PC controller that is stuffed with masses of extra features and includes premium upgrades such as using Hall Effect sticks and switchable quick-press triggers. Its big compromise, though, is that it's wired-only. However, this is reflected in a price that's far lower than a controller of this quality would be with a wireless connection. With most premium options on our best PC controller guide tending to use a wireless connection, and feeling all the more convenient for it, Scuf's new controller is inherently going to have more limited appeal. However, if you want high-end build and features but without spending too crazy an amount of money, this is a very tempting option. Read the rest of the story...

League of Legends Clash was meant to be the ultimate replacement for ranked fives. With flex ****** essentially in the gutter and far worse off than the previous iteration, Clash was introduced as a fun way to play competitive games with your friends in a tournament-style mode to give you the feel of what it is like to be a professional player. Sadly, the mode has not lived up to the hype, and players are furious with its gradual decline. League players expressed their anger at the decline of Clash in a recent thread on Reddit, noting the steady decline the mode has seen over the years, going from weekly tournaments to only three traditional tournaments throughout the year. “We went from biweekly Clash schedule to 3 proper Clash tournaments in a year,” one player said.

Legendary Entertainment's live-action Street Fighter movie recently lined up a premiere date, and now it has a director in place. And hey, if The Eric Andre Show's Kitao Sakurai can't entertain us with his spin on Capcom's classic fighter, who can? Sakurai—known for writing, directing, and producing The Eric Andre Show, as well as directing episodes of Twisted Metal—has been tapped to direct (via The Hollywood Reporter). Legendary is co-producing along with Capcom, and Sony previously set its premiere for March 20, 2026. As for what aspects of the Street Fighter series the movie aims to tackle, those details have yet to be divulged. Will Sakurai get a chance to cover more recent hits like Street Fighter 6, or will this be the ultimate redemption arc for a well-aged Guile by way of Jean-Claude Van Damme? Takin' it to the streets Image via Amazon Prime Video The new Street Fighter movie was confirmed back in April 2023. At the time, twin *********** filmmaker duo Danny and Michael Philippou (Talk to Me) were in talks to direct. Of course, one would be remiss not to mention the original 1994 live-action Street Fighter as much as possible in any related article. While historically maligned as a failure, the endlessly entertaining work of art starred the aforementioned Van Damme as Guile opposite Raul Julia in a powerful turn as M. Bison. Don't listen to anyone who says writer and director Steven E. de Souza's feature is anything other than a classic example of pure game-inspired camp. There was also 2009's fair to middlin' Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li, which starred Kristin Kreuk as Chun-Li and Chris Klein as Charlie Nash. The real Capcom film to beat, however, is 1994's Street Fighter II: The Animated Movie, a Gisaburo Sugii-directed and Group TAC-animated banger that hit all the right notes. So go ahead, Sakurai, do your best and your worst! The post The Eric Andre Show’s Kitao Sakurai to direct new Street Fighter movie appeared first on Destructoid. View the full article

Developer Blast Zero and publisher Red Dunes Games are celebrating this month's 35th anniversary of the classic anime Samurai Pizza Cats by announcing a new video game based on the popular 1990s cartoon, called Samurai Pizza Cats: Blast From the Past. It's in development for "all major platforms." The trailer reassembles some of the original voice cast – the English cast includes Rick Jones (Cerviche), Sonja Ball (Polly Esther), Terrence Scammell (Guido Anchovy, Narrator) and Dean Hagopian returning as Seymour “The Big” Cheese – while the game is described as a 2D action-RPG (you can see some gameplay footage in the announcement trailer above) in which you'll be able to switch back and forth between members of the Samurai Pizza Cats and utilize each one's unique abilities in combat and to solve puzzles – all within Little Tokyo. Samurai Pizza Cats: Blast From the Past is described as being "early in development." Track its progress and wishlist it on Steam if you're interested. Ryan McCaffrey is IGN's executive editor of previews and host of both IGN's weekly Xbox show, Podcast Unlocked, as well as our monthly(-ish) interview show, IGN Unfiltered.

Normally when you're playing an FPS game, the choice to pull the trigger and initiate combat isn't a choice at all. Half-Life. Doom Eternal. You're waiting for the chance to use your guns - it's all about wading into the crossfire. Dagger Directive is completely different. Visually, it's reminiscent of shooters from the early '00s or even the '90s. Mechanically, its inspirations are similarly vintage, the elder Ghost Recon and Rainbow Six games, and milsim series including Arma and Operation Flashpoint. But Dagger Directive has more to offer than mere homage. One of the most exciting new FPS games, you can try it now. Read the rest of the story...

What's the longest you've ever waited for a game? The problem with videogames is that they pretty much always take much longer than you'd expect, and as budgets have increased and as time has gone on, that's only gotten truer and truer. Skyrim came out way back in 2011, but almost 14 years later there's still no Elder Scrolls 6, and it'll be a decade since Fallout 4 came out later this year, too. But a studio like Bethesda is guaranteed to release those follow-ups - when you're waiting almost ten years for a game like Lost Soul Aside, an original, debut IP which was first announced in 2016, things are a bit more uncertain. Lost Soul Aside has a release date now, though, but there's bad news for PC players. Read the rest of the story...

Gamers have a new route to getting hold of an Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 or RTX 5080, thanks to the GPU maker itself. In an effort to beat scalpers, Nvidia has just relaunched its Verified Priority Access program for active Nvidia account holders, inviting users to buy a new graphics card from the company directly. However, only a "limited" number will be able to buy a new RTX 50-series card this way, with the scheme also limited to just one country. Nvidia launched a similar program back during the early days of the RTX 4090 and RTX 4080, when the launch of those GPUs was also affected by stock availability issues. While the RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 are now the best graphics cards you can buy, not enough gamers have been able to get their hands on one, with extremely limited stock levels since launch day.
