Escape From Tarkov is still the first game that leaps to mind when you think of extraction shooters, and Battlefield - especially the superlative Battlefield 3 - has the best reputation in terms of sheer scale. But as Delta Force Season Two arrives on Steam, it's clear that the competition for PC's favorite tactical war shooter has a credible new contender. Multiplayer FPS games often have a short lifespan. Spectre Divide, Battlebit, and even The Finals have struggled to maintain an enthusiastic player base. But Delta Force seemingly has staying power, and it's just hit a new Steam record.

Nvidia has hinted that its DLSS Frame Generation technology could in fact work on its older graphics cards, potentially bringing huge leaps in frame rates to aging hardware. However, if and when that support comes is for "the future" to decide. Nvidia launched its latest version of DLSS Frame Generation alongside the reveal of its latest RTX 5000 series of graphics cards, led by the RTX 5090. The new version, DLSS 4, incorporates a range of updates to existing DLSS technologies but the primary addition is DLSS 4 Multi Frame Generation, which allows a graphics card to generate up to three frames for each conventionally rendered frame with AI, resulting in huge boosts to frame rates.

Cyclopean: The Great Abyss appears to have glorious dungeon graphics but I can't say for sure because I can't get torches to work. I think your character is supposed to kindle them automatically when you venture into a dungeon - at which point the view switches, classic Ultima-style, from top-down into first-person. My character never deigns to light a torch, however. Possibly this is because, no matter how many torches I loot or buy from the underworld's infrequent traders, my character page always tells me I have none. Is my character eating them? Are they too afraid to light them and expose what those dungeons contain? Do I need to read the manual properly? Or is it just a bug? Read more View the full article

Marvel Rivals currently has a challenge to trigger Spider-Man's Spider-Tracers, but how can this be done most effectively? Spider-Man has one of the highest skill ceilings of all DPS characters. He combines extreme movement, high damage, and light sustainably to become a major problem to enemy teams. However, the flip side is that an inexperienced Spider-Man can easily be shut down and become a burden to their team. View the full article

AMD has apparently priced its elusive new Radeon RX 9070 gaming GPU range too high to compete with the new Nvidia GeForce RTX 5000 series, which is reportedly the reason why there's no word on the specs, price, or release date yet. The new AMD Radeon RX 9070 graphics cards were announced at CES with curiously little fanfare, despite plenty of graphics cards from various manufacturers being on display. The reason, according to this rumor, is that the company is now stuck in a pricing quagmire as retailers already have stock of the cards. While Nvidia is expected to take the award for the absolute best graphics card when the RTX 5090 release date arrives shortly, we were hoping that AMD would at least be able to answer the RTX 5070 with a competitively-priced alternative. However, given Nvidia's current dominance in the market, AMD is going to have to price the new Radeon RX 9070 and 9070 XT very competitively. Read the rest of the story...

Vampire Survivors developer Poncle has outlined the difficulties behind its adaptation, which was originally announced as an animated series but now appears to be a film, headlined by the fact "the game has no plot." Poncle said it is "still working with Story Kitchen on a live action film" in a Steam post despite the adaptation being announced as an animated series in 2023. Regardless, Poncle has now acknowledged just how difficult it will be to get a film right, especially as Vampire Survivors is a mechanically simple action game about defeating hoards of enemies. "As mentioned last year, rather than jumping the gun and make stuff for the sake of making it, we have preferred to wait to find partners that felt right, especially because to make anything that isn't a video game out of Vampire Survivors requires good ideas, creativity, and that quirky knowledge of the game," Poncle said. "That is a very difficult triplet to get 100% right. Please remember the game has no plot — it doesn't? — so nobody can really anticipate how a film about it is going to be. That is part of what makes it exciting." Please remember the game has no plot. The irony of this wasn't lost on Poncle upon the adaptation's announcement, saying, sarcastically, "the most important thing in Vampire Survivors is the story." It's unclear how the game will be adapted, even to Poncle, so a release date hasn't been announced as of yet. Vampire Survivors is a fast-paced and over-the-top gothic horror game with rogue-lite elements, where your choices can allow you to quickly snowball against the hundreds of monsters that get thrown at you. It became one of the biggest surprise hits of the last few years as what launched as a humble indie game on Steam blew up in popularity and snowballed itself. Poncle soon added layers of new content to the game and the core experience now offers 50 playable characters and 80 weapons to play with. That's before the two major expansions too, not to mention the Ode to Castlevania DLC. In our 8/10 review, IGN said: "Need a game to play while listening to podcasts? This is it. Vampire Survivors is outwardly simple but turns out to be an incredibly deep hole to fall down — though it's not without extended dull periods when you get ahead of its curve." Ryan Dinsdale is an IGN freelance reporter. He'll talk about The Witcher all day. View the full article
New farming simulators are constantly hitting the market and many of them have similar aspects to the most popular one in the genre: Stardew Valley. It has almost become a rite of passage for farming simulators to be compared to the ConcernedApe title, especially in a positive way. One of the best new games that has gotten that honor is Fields of Mistria. Released in June 2024 on limited early access, there has only been one major update to this charming game, but it has captured fan's interest already. View the full article
An unannounced "PvE Action RPG" set in one of Games Workshop's fantasy properties was apparently in development until being cancelled late last year, according to a new report from mp1st.

Different sources alternately describe the project as a “multiplatform, social role-playing game" and a "fantasy live-service RPG", although it's possible these refer to different projects from the same time *******.

For me it's straightforward. The worst Resident Evil games are RE5, Resident Evil 7, Village, and RE Zero. But I'll concede that I'm an outlier, the kind of edge case who thinks that the remake of Resident Evil 3 is better than the 1999 original. For most fans of Capcom's survival horror series, the most difficult-to-love game is, and perhaps always will be, Resident Evil 6. Perhaps its reputation has thawed in recent years, and I think we can broadly agree that at least the Leon Kennedy section is good. Nevertheless, new evidence means there's reason to believe that RE6 is coming back. Read the rest of the story...

As League of Legends season 15 hit the live servers, players were flabbergasted. Riot Games sneakily took away the free Hextech chests and keys and put them in the store, taking away the chance to get free skins. A League player took their grievances out on Reddit and said they have 77 Hextech chests in their inventory, and with no key or chest drops anymore, they won’t be able to open them to get free skin shards. They called it the “worst decision they [Riot] could have made in the entire history of League.” View the full article
For Godzilla to appear, a player must make their way through his portal to transform into the titan. Other players fight him, and the one who causes the most damage is rewarded. Godzilla has only been in Fortnite for a few days, but already, the community has some notes. At first, players had the usual gripes about this type of mini-event—the spawn rate was too low, and the beast was too powerful or not powerful enough. Epic Games pretty quickly changed the spawn rates, although, to be honest even at a 40 percent chance, the chance of Godzilla’s portal appearing is not high enough. Once someone runs through the portal and becomes Godzilla, almost the entire lobby attacks, meaning the creature goes down quickly. While some players think Godzilla should be a permanent fixture for the duration of his event this month, others have a different idea. View the full article
