Every goal in Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2. The New Jersey team challenge in THUG. Manualing down the Alcatraz switchbacks in THPS4. I've done them all. But nothing from the Birdman's eponymous series ever came close to the thrill of Skate. Beginning in 2007, the swap to analogue-stick dependent close control made even the slightest achievement in virtual skateboarding, a mere kickflip or successful 50-50 grind, feel monumental. Combined with an incredible soundtrack, gorgeous visuals, hilarious physics, and some great writing, the Skate games remain some of my personal favorites. And now, finally, after all this waiting, the series is coming back, as EA confirms the Skate 4 early-access launch window. Read the rest of the story...

For the first three chapters of the Frostpunk 2 story, the environments are pretty flat, and you probably won’t need to rotate the camera. But in chapter four, that all changes, and you might suddenly realize you don’t know how to change your camera view. I didn’t even realize you could rotate the camera in Frostpunk 2 until I reached Winterhome, which is in a steep crevice fringed by rocky outcrops. This rough terrain makes it difficult to see everything you need to, so I figured it must be possible to rotate the camera. For anyone having similar issues, here’s a complete guide to the Frostpunk 2 camera controls. View the full article

In this guide, I’m going to cover methods for both the prevention and the cure of ********. View the full article

AMD is going all-in on artificial intelligence to power its new frame-generation tech, with the hope of boosting the frame rates and battery life of handheld devices such as the Steam Deck. AMD FSR 4 (FidelityFX Super Resolution 4) will be AMD's fourth release of the technology designed to help boost frame rates in games. AMD revealed that it made the switch internally to focus on an AI-based approach "nine to 12 months ago," because the original FSR technology wasn't "where the future is going" for gamers. The company continues to battle it out against Nvidia's dominance of the GPU market, and while AMD's own chips are regularly used in some of the best graphics cards available, Nvidia has a big headstart when it comes to AI-based gaming tech.

Image: Square Enix Final Fantasy XVI is out today on PC, and its producer is asking players to be chill about it. In an interview with PC Gamer, Naoki Yoshida has woefully underestimated the collective horniness of the internet by requesting that fans not create mods for the game that are “offensive or inappropriate.” Good luck with that one, buddy. PC gaming conventional wisdom dictates that once a game is out on PC, it’s only a matter of time before clips start circulating of all sorts of modding shenanigans. Of course, Yoshida probably isn’t talking about the kinds of mods where you turn one of the main characters into a giant baby. Rather, he’s more concerned about the “spicier” mods that’ll have you alt-tabbing to pictures of cats should a relative... Continue reading… View the full article

In-game mod support is exciting news for any game, and Baldur's Gate 3 is no exception to this rule. However, the modding community has been hard at work long before in-game modding was possible, so it's no surprise that the in-game system conflicts with some pre-existing mods. Both Vortex, NexusMods' proprietary mod manager, and the Baldur's Gate 3 Mod Manager by LaughingLeader allowed the community to implement mods into their game before Patch 7, but now that in-game support is here, there are some issues.
