One of the most curious limited edition graphics cards in recent memory is currently discounted by over $210 on Amazon. This Nvidia GeForce graphics card deal sees the Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse-inspired card from Zotac reduced from $879.99 to just $681.70, but only limited units are available. In terms of performance, the Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 Ti was one of the best graphics cards when it was released, with our only criticisms being its high price, and that it only came with 12GB of VRAM. However, when it comes to value, the performance of this card is now exceptional at a sub-$700 price, and you have the added bonus of having a unique card design too, as not many movies land marketing spots on graphics cards.

Humble is once again targeting Steam Deck owners with its latest release, but this time it's an Atari retro game bundle, with 13 classic games that have been 'recharged' for modern play. The complete bundle costs just $20, which means you're saving $119 against the $139 total value of the games. The Steam Deck is still the best handheld gaming PC for anyone looking for the easiest route into gaming on the go. Despite rumblings of a new version of the device to follow the Steam Deck OLED, Valve has since rubbished the idea of releasing yearly models, and will instead only release the Steam Deck 2 when the technology is truly ready.

Call of Duty: ****** Ops 6 has built-in support for a third-party audio tool that charges $20 for improved sound. In a blog post, Activision said ****** Ops 6 launches with an Enhanced Headphone Mode that makes use of Embody's Immerse Spatial Audio technology “to increase the directional accuracy of sounds played in the world.” Embody is a personalized audio company that’s already worked with the likes of Final Fantasy 14 and Cyberpunk 2077 to integrate its technology into video games. Immerse Spatial Audio works with any headphone or earbud model and is said to “greatly improves the player’s spatial audio experience.” Included as part of ****** Ops 6’s Enhanced Headphone Mode is a Universal Head Related Transfer Function (HRTF) profile which has been “specifically created for the Call of Duty soundscape.” Optionally, Activision said, players can “choose to enhance this HRTF experience even further by creating a Personalized profile that takes into account the player’s physical attributes, such as the shape of their ear or head. This customization is accessed in-game and completed by using Embody’s personalization portal.” What Activision’s blog post ******* to mention is that enabling Embody’s personalized audio in ****** Ops 6 costs real-world money ($20 for five years, although there's a free trial), and it’s this revelation that has caught some Call of Duty fans off-guard, leading to complaints across social media and subreddits and accusations that ****** Ops 6 is “pay-to-hear.” You have to pay for good audio in call of duty ****** ops 6. [Hidden Content] — Omeqa (@Omeqa_) October 21, 2024 Embody's push into the world of video games has mostly flown under the radar, with puzzled queries from players of Final Fantasy 14 and Cyberpunk 2077 mostly relegated to their forums. Embody staff have spent time addressing concerns, pointing out there’s a free trial, and extolling the benefits of their tech. Improved audio tech is nothing new, of course, but it’s rare to see it integrated directly into a video game’s settings, especially when it costs more money to unlock. Call of Duty leans more heavily on audio in a competitive gameplay sense than Final Fantasy 14 and Cyberpunk 2077, so there’s a genuine sense that any audio advantage, whether it’s paid for or free, will have a meaningful impact on the virtual battlefield. It’s also worth noting that Call of Duty players have for years complained about the game's audio, and been able to splash out on fancy headphones in a bid to hear exactly where those ****** footsteps are coming from. We’re nearing the October 25 release date for ****** Ops 6 and so we have plenty of information on what to expect. We've got confirmation of Call of Duty: ****** Ops 6's launch Multiplayer maps, modes, and Operators, and Call of Duty: ****** Ops 6's preload and global launch times. Activision has also said it wants to catch and remove Call of Duty cheaters within one hour of them being in their first match, and confirmed ****** Ops 6 ditches the controversial Riot Shield.

Developers Dreamlit have piped over fresh footage of their open world ecotribal extravaganza Towers Of Aghasba. It's an abbreviated but generous display of equatorial exotica and vaguely prehistoric wildlife, home to such key verbs as "exploration", "village-building", "gardening", "creature-nurturing" and "murdering megasloths with a lump of wood". And look at that, there's a release date perched on top - 19th November 2024. Read more View the full article

Image: Hello Games The latest No Man’s Sky event will have players straddling the boundary between this world and the next. The Cursed expedition event runs for the next two weeks and features new bosses, new gear, a flying saucer, and a UFO players can make their own. As with every new NMS event, the developers at Hello Games are changing up how the game works. The Cursed takes place in a new universe where the line between life and... unlife?? is perilously thin. The exosuit, which normally protects players from the harsh environs of space and alien planets, now comes with an “anomaly suppressor” that’ll keep them stable as reality shifts around them. Additionally, players won’t be able to warp between star systems, having to instead travel via a portal... Continue reading… View the full article

Even with so many excellent RTS classics like Command and Conquer, Total Annihilation, and Age of Empires, there's one series that's always reigned supreme. For me, StarCraft is the pinnacle of the genre. The sheer amount of tactical depth is unmatched, and I'm a total ******* for sci-fi if I'm honest. So with both StarCraft: Remastered and StarCraft 2 finally making their way to PC Game Pass soon, there's no better time to ***** back in.

Hogwarts Legacy is a painstakingly accurate recreation of the iconic School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and that means some of the fictional institution's less cozy aspects have also been included in the game. While exploring the grounds, players will likely stumble upon Hogwarts' kitchen run entirely by House Elves who prepare all the dishes eaten by the students and staff. It's a well-documented aspect of the Wizarding World, appearing extensively in the Harry Potter books, but Hogwarts Legacy goes the extra mile to demonstrate how the sausage (or steak) is made.
