Pokmon has grown from being a singular franchise to inspiring an entire genre of role-playing and this early-access indie game is the latest title to put a unique spin on the formula. When it comes to monster-catching games that exist outside of the Nintendo environment, players have some decent options, even if none of them have managed to capture hearts and minds like Pokmon. Whether it be the musical notes of Cassette Beasts or the MMO stylings of TemTem, the one thing most of them lack is the competitive spirit of sport. View the full article
There is a new ***** about the Pyro Traveler in Genshin Impact 5.3 that, despite how attractive it may seem to players, should not be believed just yet.

The latest version of Nvidia DLSS has just been shrunk, simplifying the process of enabling the resolution scaling feature for GeForce graphics cards. The new release, called DLSS 3.8.10, eliminates four presets in favor of two streamlined options that combine all the features. Nvidia DLSS (Deep Learning Super Sampling) has been key to Nvidia's success with its recent graphics cards, requiring an Nvidia GPU with Tensor cores to function, and offering superior image quality to AMD FSR. In our tests, it can massively improve the frame rates in games that support it, and the latest versions even improve the eye candy, as we saw in DLSS 3.5 on Cyberpunk 2077, which uses Nvidia's ray reconstruction t3ech.

7 Wonders Duel, one of the most popular two-player board games, has been adapted into a new Tolkien-themed tabletop title. It's clear that plenty of DNA has been passed down, but The Lord of the Rings: Duel for Middle-earth does attempt to add its own spin to the original's tried-and-tested rules. Unfortunately, even the smallest game mechanic can change the course of the future - and these new features both help and hinder the overall experience. Read the rest of the story...

It's Half-Life 2 week at Ars Technica! This Saturday, November 16, is the 20th anniversary of the release of Half-Life 2—a game of historical importance for the artistic medium and technology of computer games. Each day up through the 16th, we'll be running a new article looking back at the game and its impact. The time has finally come to close one of the most notable gaps in my gaming history. Despite more than a decade of writing about video games and even more years enjoying them, I never got around to playing Half-Life 2. Not only have I not played it, but I've managed to keep myself in the dark about pretty much everything to do with it. I always assumed that one day I would get around to playing this classic, and I wanted the experience to be as close as possible to it would have been back in 2004. So my only knowledge about Half-Life 2 before starting this project was 1) the game is set in the same universe as Portal, a game I love, 2) the silent protagonist is named Gordon Freeman, and he looks uncannily like a silent, spectacled young Hugh Laurie, and 3) there's something called the Gravity ****.

The boss of GTA Trilogy Definitive Edition has taken to social media to respond to recent changes made to the game by Rockstar. This week, Rockstar issued a surprise update for the heavily criticized GTA Trilogy Definitive Edition on PC and console nearly two years after the last one. The patch added a number of visual features that were exclusive to the mobile versions, pleasing disgruntled fans of the groundbreaking open-world games. GTA Trilogy Definitive Edition, a compilation of 2001’s Grand Theft Auto 3, 2002’s Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, and 2004’s Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, sparked a backlash upon its 2021 launch on PC and console. IGN’s GTA Trilogy Definitive Edition review returned a 5/10. We said: “GTA Trilogy Definitive Edition is defective, disappointing, and surprisingly disrespectful to three classic games and their many legions of fans.” GTA Trilogy Definitive Edition was developed by Grove Street Games, which at the time came under ***** for the poor quality of the release. The mobile versions were developed by Video Games Deluxe, the *********** studio behind L.A. Noire VR Case Files. After this week’s update went live, users noticed Grove Street Games and its logo were removed from GTA Trilogy’s main menu and splash screen. Now, the PC and console versions align with the mobile versions, showing Rockstar as GTA’s developer. Looks like mentions of Grove Street Games and their logos have been removed from the splash screen and main menu of the #GTA Definitive Editions as well. [Hidden Content] — TJGM (@TJGM_) November 12, 2024 It’s this removal that Thomas Williamson, boss of Grove Street Games, has clearly reacted to in a thinly-veiled tweet. “Speaking entire hypothetically: it's a ***** move to remove primary developers from credits in an update, especially when an update includes hundreds of fixes that were provided by those developers that stayed out of players' hands for years,” Williamson tweeted. While Williamson’s displeasure at recent events is clear, Grove Street Games and Williamson himself remain in GTA Trilogy’s end credits, as many X/Twitter users have pointed out. PSA: Rumours being circulated by the community and even some news websites about Grove Street Games (GSG) having been removed from the #GTATrilogy entirely are unfounded. Both GSG and Video Games Deluxe are in the final credits, only the initial splash screen was removed. [Hidden Content] — GTANet (@GTANet) November 14, 2024 It’s a messy end for GTA Trilogy Definitive Edition, which has endured controversy ever since it came out. Rockstar was forced to apologize for the state of the collection at launch and even offered PC players free games as recompense. Still, the collection appeared to have sold very well despite the problems, and Strauss Zelnick – CEO of Rockstar parent company Take-Two – eventually called those issues a “glitch” that was “resolved.” Wesley is the *** News Editor for IGN.

The hero-based shooter Overwatch 2 has been widely popular since launch of the original Overwatch in 2016.
