When Warner Bros released a fairly abysmal trailer for the Minecraft Movie last week, there could be only one possible result: the game's legions of fan filmmakers, modders, texture pack creators, and garden-variety players would attempt to upstage it. That process begins with the speedy release of several fan reworkings of the trailer that use something like vanilla Minecraft graphics, rather than the original, unholy fusion of LB Photo Realism and Jack ******. This'll teach Johnny Hollywood to run his grubby hands all over our beloved Creepers, eh. Read more View the full article
Hack the planet, wizard fans. A modder has cracked open some previously disabled abilities in the official modding toolkit for Baldur's Gate 3, making it possible for folks to create their own levels or alter the game's existing environments. The toolkit (which was only made available last week) previously wouldn't let you do any of that, due to "technical constraints and platform-specific guidelines," according to developers Larian. But modders neither care nor sleep. It took them just two days to worm their way into the devkit's innards and make the impossible possible. Read more View the full article
World of Warcraft has made major steps toward being playable on consoles in recent years. Shadowlands finally added official controller support, Dragonflight added an interact button, and Microsoft owns Activision Blizzard, so it’s understandable if you’re wondering whether WoW will soon be playable on Xbox consoles. Is World of Warcraft coming to Xbox? Just imagine soaring through Khaz Algar while you’re kicking back on the couch. Screenshot by Dot Esports WoW The War Within is not playable on Xbox at the time of writing, and a 2022 interview with Ion Hazzikostas suggests Blizzard has no plans to port WoW to consoles. Hazzikostas told IGN: “Nah, I think World of Warcraft is a game designed from the ground up for the PC.” However, WoW has made several crucial steps toward console playability in the last few years, so I wouldn’t rule out its potential console launch entirely.

One of the big issues plaguing sports sims in video games today is whether fans should expect companies like EA or 2K to reinvent the wheel—when they’re the only ones providing the wheel. This dilemma has troubled fans of the ever-popular—and equally loathed—NBA 2K series because everyone loves a good basketball sim but hates to break the bank for what feels like a reskin. With NBA 2K25, similar fears reared their ugly head for many enthusiasts who have been burned before by purchasing a glorified roster update with slightly improved graphics. View the full article
We've been hearing leaks and rumors that AMD isn't going to release cards in its upcoming RX 8000 series to compete with Nvidia's top-end enthusiast Blackwell cards – i.e., the RTX 5080 and RTX 5090. One such example came in May, when a leaker said that AMD's RDNA 4 GPUs... Read Entire Article View the full article
Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 launched in advanced access last week for those who pre-ordered the game, and was immediately review bombed after players discovered that it quietly installs Epic Games' online service for crossplay purposes. In mere hours, it dropped to 'Mixed' on Steam with over 1,000 negative reviews logged. View the full article
I cannot begin to wrap around my head how the absolutely awful Silent Hill: Ascension has won an Emmy. We all know that Silent Hill: Ascension is a bad "game" right? I put game in air quotes there because it's hard to call it one, really, when all you got to do was vote on what cutscenes played out. And yet somehow, against all odds, it has won an Emmy. Yes, the same Emmys that give out awards to actually good TV shows as opposed to whatever Ascension actually is. The award it specifically won is for "Outstanding Innovation In Emerging Media Programming" and I don't know about you, but I don't think either the word "outstanding" or "innovation" belongs anywhere near that mess of a Silent Hill game. I'm not actually sure what innovation there even is in Ascension? The fact it had people collectively playing a "game" live? Twitch Plays Pokemon did that a decade ago, and it didn't have the ability to pay for better votes that can make one outcome more likely either - just a little reminder there as to how much of a mess Ascension's monetisation system was, not even mentioning its season pass. Somehow its Emmy win gets even more baffling though, as it turns out that it's not the only thing to have won the award. Read more View the full article
A Facebook page puporting to be for a new Like A Dragon title called Yakuza Wars has popped up, along with some apparent advertisements. What is the game? Well, assuming these are genuine, a mobile strategy game starring the likes of Kiryu, Majima, and Ichiban Kasuga with some pretty meme-worthy artwork. If you're out of the loop, people are assuming this game to be what a ***** trademark filed back in July for something called "Yakuza Wars" - with the listing offering no inkling as to what that could mean - was all about. Though, as of writing, there's no official announcement of that being the case or not. A Facebook page claiming to be for "Yakuza Wars" has been spotted, with it suggesting that the game is an officially lisenced mobile strategy Like A Dragon title, published by ******** mobile game developer BBGame. The page has put out some sponsored posts which look to be ads for the game and well, they're something alright. Read more View the full article
There aren’t many resources in Ark: Survival Ascended that are as important as Cementing Paste, but getting this material on Aberration can be tricky. ***** not, though, as we’ve highlighted the best methods in this guide. Unlike other maps like The Island and The Center, there are no Casteroides on Aberration in Ark Survival Ascended. Therefore, you can’t go raiding Giant ******* Dams to obtain a large amount of Cementing Paste, which makes obtaining the material much *******. View the full article
Valve’s upcoming multiplayer game Deadlock already has cheaters, despite not being officially released yet. The multiplayer title, which has been a “friends and family” closed beta for some time, was something of an open secret for quite some time until Valve finally officially announced it last month. However, although the game has still to get a proper release date, videos have already emerged of closed beta users seemingly using cheat software. Read More... View the full article

Autumn is upon us, or "fall" if you're from the other side of the pond. The leaves flake from the boughs like the dandruff of Pan, **** of the wild - pandruff, perhaps? The waters of the rivers thicken, rejecting the fading sunlight, and the big coffee chains start doing monstrous things with hazelnut syrup. The Maw is ascendant during the darker months, its constellations growing visible to the ****** eye. We will need a steady dosage of new PC games to keep it quiescent. Fortunately, this week is looking quite bountiful. Read more View the full article

Sony has seemingly raised the price of PlayStation 5’s DualSense controller. As spotted by retail sleuth Wario64, multiple North ********* retailers increased the price of the peripheral on Sunday, from $70 to $75, including Best Buy, Target, and PlayStation’s own Direct store. The $5 price increase seemingly applies to all colours of the PlayStation 5 controller. At the time of publishing, there was no sign of a price increase outside of the US. Read More...

During a Marvel-themed season, it’s great to see new original Fortnite skins appear in the shop among multiple collaborations. The Midnight Rose skin bundle is one of the latest original additions to the Fortnite Item Shop.

Skins never stick around in the game for long, so here’s how to get the Midnight Rose skin bundle in Fortnite. View the full article
Good news, Warhammer fans. It looks like the community consensus over Space Marine 2 is on the upturn, as Steam community reviews for the game have tipped over into the Very Positive range the morning of its general release to the public. A good sign for the game as the flood gates open. The game has proven popular among those who paid a little extra to jump in early. This isn't unexpected, obviously, but this is despite a few issues here and there with server stability and length. The game appears to have gone over well with those with an appreciation for the universe Saber Interactive have jumped headfirst into, a crowd that has historically proven hard to impress when it comes to bringing the popular tabletop game to life in the video game medium. It's worth keeping in mind that the game already hit the upper echelon of Steam's most played games over the weekend in this early release, hitting around 134,000 concurrent players. This is a pretty wild figure for a premium game mind you, especially when you consider it's a sequel for a Xbox 360 era niche action game. Read more View the full article

The methods for obtaining resources like Oil are different from those in other maps like Scorched Earth or The Center. View the full article
WoW The War Within adds a host of achievements for completionists to collect, but they aren’t all working as intended. Players are reportedly having trouble ticking off Kah’teht from the Khaz Algar Lore Hunter achievement checklist, so if you can’t find the NPC or are having trouble making progress on the achievement, keep reading. Kah’teht location in WoW The War Within Kah’teht location in Azj-Kahet. Screenshot by Dot Esports In WoW The War Within, you can find Kah’Teht in northeastern Azj-Kahet, just south of the border to the Ringing Deeps. Kah’Teht is at coordinates 75.4, 33.3, clinging to the cliff face at the bottom of a waterfall. They’re just north of the giant hexagonal Nerubian structure in Rak-Ahat. View the full article
While it might not be the awards you were expecting, the Fallout show has in fact won a couple of Emmys. Not that many people had doubts, but the Fallout show is now Officially Good, at least if winning an award from a long-running awards body is the thing that determines such a thing. It was the 76th annual Emmys last night, where a whole bunch of awards were given out to, mostly, Shogun (it took home 14 all in all, a record breaking total). But the incredibly popular Shogun wasn't the only show to win awards, it couldn't win them all after all, and everyone's favourite video game adaptation this year (it was never going to be you, Borderlands movie), took home two of them! The first is one you probably won't even be aware of as a category, which is Outstanding Music Supervision, an award that goes to the very specific role of music supervisor, who is someone that picks out any licensed music a show uses. Had no idea such a role existed but hey, there were some great picks in the Fallout show, so kudos! The other award was in the Outstanding Emerging Media Program category for Fallout: Vault 33 specifically, which is an award given to shows that further enhances the show with behind-the-scenes looks, story and character extensions, engaging its audience in interesting ways - essentially all the extra stuff that just winds up online these days (RIP DVD extras).

Well, if this isn’t a vastly impressive little gem I’m not sure what is. Qanga is a space exploration game set in a loading screen-less solar system. It features ship travel, combat, trade, and base building, and you can do all of it alone or with space mates. It’s got a demo, but it’s also on the cheaper end if you fancy buying into early access. Considering the pricing, I’d say it’s a real looker, too. Read more View the full article

Any ambitions you may have had to relive that scene from Trainspotting in the nightclubs of open world game GTA 6 have been cruelly dashed. Martyn Ware - of 80's synthpop band Heaven 17 - took to Xitter over the weekend to share his experience of Rockstar games attempting to licence his song Temptation. The offer, which Ware describes as for “a buyout of any future royalties from the game”, was allegedly for $7500. Read more View the full article
Star Wars Outlaws' next patch aims to tone down some of the action game’s “incredibly punishing” insta-fail stealth sections, alongside adding tweaks for “narrative context” at other points in the story.
