Valve has finally fully unveiled Steam Game Recording, bringing the ability to easily record and capture your gaming sessions for all to see. The recording can be set to just run in the background throughout your gaming sessions, or you can invoke it manually. It's essentially the same core feature you'll find in AMD Relive and Nvidia ShadowPlay but built right into Steam. With Steam continuing to be the dominant platform on the best gaming PCs, this easy access to such a powerful recording feature means that many gamers are likely to use it. However, there is one feature missing from Steam Game Recording that could make some users stick with alternative game-recording apps for now. Read the rest of the story...

If you weren’t paying close attention, you could be forgiven for not noticing that ***** – best known for Sonic the Hedgehog, Persona, and Like A Dragon – has quietly become an entertainment powerhouse outside of video games. Thanks partly to the huge success of Paramount’s Sonic movies, plus mega licensee deals with the likes of Lego and Roblox, *****’s transmedia business has grown significantly since 2020, jumping 107 places on License Global’s Top Global Licensors list to No. 39 – above the likes of Sony Pictures. ***** says it now generates nearly $1 billion in annual retail sales of toys, clothing and merchandise alone. Justin Scarpone – who joined ***** earlier this year following a lengthy career at Disney and others – is the company’s new global head of transmedia, whose job is now to take the success of the Sonic brand outside of video games and replicate it with *****’s other franchises, like Persona and Like A Dragon, across film, streaming, TV, live shows, and merchandise.

*********'s Creed Shadows is taking the franchise's story back to its roots by putting a ******* emphasis on the modern-day narrative. While the last three *********'s Creed games have placed more focus on historical fantasy, the series began with the tale of Desmond Miles exploring his genetic memories thanks to a machine known as the Animus. Over several games, Desmond's saga became increasingly more convoluted with many fans questioning its existence, but it seems Ubisoft is trying to make the modern-day setting a priority once again.

"Never read the comments," is a truth much-rehearsed by senior games journalists, but I have long since levelled-up past this axiom and entered into a new world of benevolent narcissism. I always read the comments, for all commenters are my children. They exist to glorify and preserve me in my dotage. True, occasionally my children say things like "I think your writing and opinions are appalling, and that you deserve to be repeatedly run over by a herd of deer", but it is the nature of children to rebel.

Bacon and Bread are two of the basic ingredients you need to begin your quest to become a master chef in Brighter Shores, but despite how hard you might look for a pig to ********** or wheat to make bread, nothing seems to work out. Despite being a relatively common ingredient, many players find it hard to find them even though the answer is in plain sight. The game sadly does a bad job of telling you what to do, so unless you know exactly where to go, it can take a while to discover the items you need. View the full article

Less than a month after it launched, Amazon Games has nerfed the XP rewards of New World Aeternum's new PvP zone, The Cursed Mists. The area arrived as part of the MMO's recent revamp, and it presents players with an extraction-like gameplay loop with unique loot and XP available for playing.

Nvidia is planning to take on Intel and AMD with a new CPU designed for use in consumer PCs, according to a report. The move could see the gaming GPU maker challenge the domination of Intel and AMD in the PC world, particularly when it comes to laptops and AI, but the company's lack of an x86 license will present a challenge when it comes to this rumored Nvidia CPU running PC games and the PC's expansive software back catalog. Not only does Nvidia make the best graphics card for gaming right now, in the form of the RTX 4090, but it's now also the world's most valuable company, thanks to its huge strides in the AI world. We're expecting the new RTX 5000 gaming GPU lineup to launch in the near future, but it looks as though Nvidia could also be launching a new CPU range in 2025 as well. Read the rest of the story...

Stardew Valley's 1.6.9 Update is finally here but for those who are struggling to enjoy it due to technical hiccups, creator ConcernedApe has a simple but odd fix. While the vast majority of Farmers, especially those on consoles and mobile, are busy digging into the latest patch and all its secrets, some players are reporting major performance issues. It's uncommon for a game like Stardew Valley but when so many systems are layered on top of one another, it stands to reason that some stuttering may occasionally occur. View the full article
Warcraft 2: Remastered appears to be set for an announcement from Blizzard soon after a logo for the game appeared on internal servers. As spotted by Wowhead and X/Twitter user Stiven, Blizzard updated its content delivery network (CDN) to mention a 'Warcraft II: Remastered Internal Alpha.' Blizzard has yet to announce the game, and IGN has asked for comment. The CDN update also includes background images and logos for Warcraft 2: Remastered, which lean on the original's naval theme. Warcraft II Remastered !!! :D [Hidden Content] — Stiven (@Stiven_SRB) November 5, 2024 This all appears to be pointing toward Blizzard’s Warcraft 30th Anniversary Direct stream, set for November 13 at 10am Pacific / 1pm Eastern / 6pm ***. Blizzard has said this stream will include "something for everyone," from old-school fans of the real-time strategy games to World of Warcraft players. Warcraft Rumble and Hearthstone will also feature in the stream, which comes in lieu of the canceled BlizzCon 2024. A Warcraft 2 remaster would certainly fit the bill here. The RTS classic launched on PC in 1995 as a sequel to the groundbreaking Warcraft: Orcs & Humans and met with positive reviews and big sales. Indeed, Blizzard has form in remastering its previous games. StarCraft: Remastered, which is about to launch into Game Pass, launched in 2017, the disastrous Warcraft 3: Reforged launched in 2020, and Diablo 2: Resurrected launched in 2021. Don’t expect Blizzard to announce Warcraft 4, however. As detailed in the recently-released Play Nice: The Rise, Fall, and Future of Blizzard Entertainment, Blizzard is pretty out on RTS these days. It is reportedly working on a StarCraft shooter, though. Image credit: Blizzard Entertainment. Wesley is the *** News Editor for IGN. Find him on Twitter at @wyp100.

One of the biggest selling points of the PS5 Pro is that it can boost the image quality of PS4 games, even though they have not technically been “enhanced” for the console by either Sony or developers. And while there are over 3,000 PlayStation 4 games to date, there’s one many of us hold dear to our hearts: Bloodborne. With a sequel now seeming little more than a pipedream, we’re left with only one option – to play through the original again on PS5 Pro to make the most of the console's Enhanced Image Quality feature. But does the PS5 Pro actually make Bloodborne look any better? If you’ve pre-ordered a PS5 Pro then you can check it out for yourself, but if you’re still sitting on the fence then check out the video below and see if you can tell the difference. We’ve also compared some of the other 50-plus games that are enhanced for PS5 Pro at launch, starting with Marvel’s Spider-Man 2. We tested it in both Pro modes – Fidelity and Performance – and you can see the results for yourself in this 23-minute gameplay video. Hogwarts Legacy was one of the big showcase games from the console reveal. We've now had the chance to play it on PS5 Pro in Fidelity mode with ray tracing, which promises to improve lightning and shadows, as well as adding better reflections. Take a look at the game running on PS5 Pro. Finally (ahem), we have 16 minutes of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth running in Versatility mode, which enhances the quality of the visuals and delivers better frame-rates. Can you tell the difference? If so, is it enough to make you pay the extra money for a PS5 Pro? Let us know in the poll below. Meanwhile, make sure you check out IGN's full review of the PS5 Pro, which tells you everything you need to know about PlayStation's latest console. View the full article
