This Kingston Fury ****** RGB DDR5 kit shows that at least one manufacturer has rapidly stepped up its DDR5 frequencies while offering reasonable prices and plenty of stock. This 32GB 6,000MHz RGB-enabled gamer memory set comprises a pair of 16GB modules, and is available for around $230. Thankfully, in a rare move, Kingston also offers a more affordable way to jump onto the DDR5 bandwagon, with a 16GB kit available too for just $150. That gives Kingston a significant advantage against the competition right now, as barely anyone else makes dual-channel DDR5 kits, especially with fancy RGB lighting. You can buy plenty of the best gaming RAM in 32GB configurations and higher, but that's a tough ask at current DDR5 prices, particularly if you need to buy a new motherboard and CPU too.

Look out, it's Spiders. It's fun to write about Spiders, because you get to frighten people for a moment, before they realise you're talking about the game development studio, Spiders. They have just released GreedFall 2: The Dying Land into early access. For those who don't remember the first GreedFall, it was a colonial-styled RPG about landing on the magical shores of another continent and getting into scrapes with monsters and frontiersfolk. This time the story is furthering the fantasy Columbian exchange by putting you in the role of a native who's been uprooted against their will and taken to the "old world". The game's release comes against a backdrop of dissatisfaction in the studio. But workers have gained some concessions in talks. Read more View the full article
Original Life is Strange developer Don't Nod has announced it had a rough start to the 2024/25 financial year and has pressed pause on two projects as a result. Don't Nod's latest financial report revealed its recent release of Jusant and Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden "did not achieve the commercial results" it hoped for and it has changed its plans going forward as a result. The studio is "temporarily pausing two projects in the design phase," for example, enabling it to "prioritize resources and maximize the chances of success of the titles with the greatest potential at present." This will seemingly see Lost Records: Bloom & Rage pushed to the forefront following a "particularly positive reception" at Gamescom, Don't Nod said. The first part of this episodic, narrative adventure is expected in February 2025. "We are obviously disappointed by our recent performance in an extremely competitive and selective market," chairman and CEO Oskar Guilbert said. "Despite an excellent critical reception, Jusant and Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden unfortunately did not achieve the commercial results we had hoped for, resulting in a deterioration in our 2024 half-year results and leading us to consider all possible options regarding our roadmap." Don't Nod had seven games in the works as of March 2024, including the two which are now on ice. It revealed the number as part of an internal restructuring that saw three branches created to focus on role-playing games, narrative adventure games, and action adventure games respectively.

Just days after PlayStation game **** of War Ragnarok launched on PC to a ‘mixed’ Steam user review rating over its forced PlayStation Network account linking, a mod has been released that bypasses the requirement entirely. Sony had made it clear on the **** of War Ragnarok Steam page that a PlayStation Network account would be required to play Sony Santa Monica’s purely single-player adventure, but that ******* to prevent a number of negative reviews singling out the policy. While **** of War Ragnarok’s Steam user review rating is now up to ‘mostly positive,’ one modder has decided to take matters into their own hands by stripping out the PSN requirement. iArtorias’ NoPSSDK mod, which has been downloaded 1,764 times from Nexus Mods at the time of this article’s publication, “fully strips the PlayStation PC SDK runtime requirement for **** of War Ragnarok.” But because the mod removes the PSN overlay from the game and mimicks an offline mode in the process, it's being used to bypass the PSN / Steam account linking requirement. IGN has verified the mod does indeed work. In a post on Nexus Mods, iArtorias vowed to maintain their mod even if Sony updates **** of War Ragnarok to combat it. “I will try to maintain the tool even if something changes, but hopefully nothing crucial happens,” they said. Sony will no doubt take a dim view of iArtorias’ mod, which is picking up Steam as more and more players download it. There are also calls for a similar mod for Sony’s other recently released PC games, such as Ghost of Tsushima. Ghost of Tsushima requires a PSN account for the Legends online multiplayer mode and to use PlayStation overlay, but it is not required to play the single-player game, which makes Sony’s decision to enforce a PSN requirement on the purely single-player **** of War Ragnarok all the more baffling. Sony’s PSN account requirement for its PC games was thrust into the limelight with the release of Arrowhead’s explosive PC and PS5 co-op shooter Helldivers 2 earlier this year. Helldivers 2 suffered a review ***** campaign on Steam after Sony made PSN accounts mandatory for PC gamers on Valve’s platform (Arrowhead subsequently decided to turn the Steam user review history graph into a cape, which is ready for launch but has yet to release). Sony eventually backed down and reversed Helldivers 2’s PSN account requirement, but the game ******** unavailable in the many countries that lack PSN. And indeed all Sony’s games on PC now suffer from this problem, which means **** of War Ragnarök is unavailable on PC in over 100 countries. Wesley is the *** News Editor for IGN.

A mod has been released for the Steam version of **** of War Ragnarok that removes the requirement to link a PSN account to play the game. Sony’s latest PC port, which was released this week, requires that players link an existing PSN account to their Steam account, or create a new one, in order to play. While this has been the case for some multiplayer titles, such as the now-defunct Concord, the fact that **** of War Ragnarok is an entirely single-player game means the PSN account requirement has frustrated some players.

For years, a dangerous and charismatic game has evaded the grasp of many designers. Some say it doesn't exist, that no publisher would ever back it. I'm talking about the one city block RPG that Warren Spector has often mentioned. Sure, we've seen a few usual suspects already - Deus Ex Mankind Divided, Disco Elysium, even Else: Heart.Break - they all grimace in the line-up but nothing ever sticks. Now, out of the gloom of indie development, comes another perp ready to have his mugshot taken. Shadows Of Doubt is an open world detective sim that comes perilously close to being our guy. Its clothes, stature, gait, and fingerprints match the description of what Spector often describes. And yet, if you tilt your head, something is just a little off. The game isn't confined to one block. It's not an RPG precisely. And its simulation has plenty of bugs, jank, and unintentional comedy. But after all this time, in the absence of a smoking ****, shouldn't we just put this guy in the slammer and call the case closed? I say yes, let's. Officers! Arrest this game, it's brilliant.

The in thing when it comes to dinosaur conversations now is this: "Yeah but did you know that they weren't all like, lizardy, but covered in feathers". You might want to chuck in that chickens are basically dinosaurs, because their feet have a "Triassic *******", a (made-up) term that will make you sound authoritative. If you really want to showcase your knowledge, though, you may want to mention that dinosaurs may have actually fought with large swords lodged between their teeth. Dinoblade demonstrates this! And no, they haven't discovered swords alongside dinosaur fossils yet because palaeontologists have been unlucky thus far. "Soon", you tell them. Read more View the full article

We liked Jusant, Don't Nod's clamber-upper masterpiece, and we also liked Banishers, their colonial ghost-busting action-adventure, but it seems that not enough people did. The company have posted a profit warning, reflecting an 11% decline in operating revenue for the first half of 2024. They've also "paused" two unannounced games in development, and altered other unannounced games to be more appealing to a "wider audience". Beyond that, they're considering "all possible options regarding our roadmap", which sounds just a touch ominous. Read more View the full article
