Image: Intel It’s been a burning question for months — are Intel’s laptop chips susceptible to the same permanent damage that can potentially lay 24 different flagship desktop chips low? Today, Intel has finally confirmed: its 13th and 14th Gen laptop chips do not seem to have an instability issue. And the company claims they are definitely not affected by the too-high voltage issue, which it’s now calling “Vmin Shift Instability.” [/url] While Intel maintains that Vmin Shift Instability is not necessarily the root cause or only cause of the crashes — it’s still investigating — Intel spokesperson Thomas Hannaford now tells The Verge that laptop chips basically aren’t affected at all. “Confirming 13/14 th gen mobile isn’t impacted by the instability issue...

Intel is reportedly considering spinning off its chip manufacturing business, meaning future Intel CPU models would no longer be made in-house any more. The company is reportedly in talks with its bankers to get advice on turning around its fortunes after a bleak set of recent financial results, and splitting from its foundry business is apparently one of the last-resort options being considered. Intel has had a troubled time lately, with its share price dropping from $47.80 in January 2024 to just $20.13 at the moment. Not only have its current best gaming CPU options been beset by stability problems that are only just now being fixed, but it's also facing an Intel shareholders lawsuit, which alleges that "Intel's foundry business was floundering, costing billions of dollars more than investors had been led to believe."

Visions of Mana only released yesterday, August 29, but according to a new report, plans to cut back at and eventually close the JRPG’s developer - Ouka Studios - have been in the works for a good while, with the current situation being that NetEase has cut "all but a handful of jobs". This comes from Bloomberg, which has been looking into NetEase and Tencent, and the scaling back of ********* investments both big ******** companies have been doing. Ouka opened in 2020 and went on to hire veteran developers from the likes of Capcom and Bandai Namco. Visions of Mana, published by Square Enix was revealed at last year’s edition of The Game Awards, and locked in a summer release via a gameplay reveal at the Xbox Developer Direct this January.

Players can build up their reputation with each of the four ********* organizations referred to as Syndicates in Star Wars Outlaws, thus earning exclusive access to unique items and the ability to freely wander around their territories. However, building a positive relationship with one Syndicate will always come at the expense of Kay's relationship with another, meaning that the player cannot get every Syndicate's rewards. So, it's important to know which rewards each Syndicate gives depending on the player's level of relationship with them before deciding which gangs to annoy and which to appease.

Deadlock is, as players have quickly observed, more MOBA than shooter. But, as someone who sank about 2,000 hours into Dota 2 (though it's been a minute, I stopped in 2019), I can confidently say that its shooter mechanics are still a huge part of what makes it so fascinating: And that's because its lanes, which are very MOBA-like in nature, are utterly transformed by the fact you can run and **** in them...

Ditto has a unique mechanic in Pokémon Go. It disguises itself as other Pokémon, which makes it hard to find because it never appears on the map. There’s no guarantee you’ll ever come across one. When you catch certain Pokémon, they have a rare chance to be a Ditto in disguise. The list of Pokémon that Ditto can appear as is pretty slim, and there’s no guarantee the Pokémon you catch is a Ditto or the real deal. View the full article

Castlevania fans may have just received the Castlevania Dominus Collection during the August 2024 Nintendo Direct but they're already thinking about the next dream collection. Nintendo announced the imminent release of the Castlevania Dominus Collection during its August 27 showcase to the delight of many fans. It collected Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow, Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin, and Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia alongside a remake of Haunted Castle. This put some very hard to get games, mostly from the Nintendo DS, on a modern platform, and fans are already pulling some other entries together to manifest a similar collection. "Someone is already trying to manifest this into reality and honestly I'm here for it," said 8bitNudist on Reddit, sharing a fan concept for something called the Castlevania Dimensions Collection, which includes several other older games from the Nintendo 64, PlayStation 2, Nintendo Wii, and more. VaporDream1985 shared the box art for Castlevania Requiem. "Alright Konami. You know what to do next," they said. Requiem was a collection of Castlevania: Symphony of the Night and Castlevania: Rondo of Blood released on PlayStation 4 in 2018 but has shown no signs of releasing elsewhere. "I straight up think they're gonna make a new collection with Rondo and Symphony of the Night included instead of porting Requiem," said a user in the comments. "Yep, I honestly do think that's what's next," said another. "Symphony of the Night, Rondo of Blood, Castlevania Chronicles, Dracula X Chronicles, and Vampire Hunter." Castlevania has gone somewhat forgotten by Konami in recent years, with no new mainline game having been released since 2014. It's supplemented this by releasing the various collections, however, and fans are perhaps more excited for these than the prospect of a brand new game. In our 6/10 review of the last one, IGN said: "Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 tries to do too many things, and the end result suffers because of it." Ryan Dinsdale is an IGN freelance reporter. He'll talk about The Witcher all day. View the full article

Risk of Rain 2 was originally published by Gearbox Software, the long-running studio behind Borderlands, the Half-Life expansions, and the erstwhile Brothers In Arms series. In November 2022, however, Gearbox purchased the rights to the roguelike game outright; three days ago, on Tuesday August 27, Gearbox released its first Risk of Rain 2 DLC, Seekers of the Storm. It hasn't been going well. Only 30% of user reviews on Steam are favorable, and the DLC has a damning 'mostly negative' rating. Now, developers from the original Risk of Rain 2 base game have shared comments about the state of the new DLC, alongside Gearbox CEO ****** Pitchford. Read the rest of the story...
