Alexander KnappDead game? Microsoft extends Windows 7 support until 2023.
Alexander KnappIn a long-awaited follow up to Nvidia’s release of the GTX 1080 in May 2016, the tech company has been teasing a successor to their 10XX series of GPUs, rumored to be codenamed the GeForce RTX 2080. Skipping past the previously utilized Volta microarchitecture used by the Titan V series of cards, the 2080 is set to use the newly developed Turing architecture unveiled at SIGGRAPH 2018 August 13, notable for its strength in ray tracing (“a rendering technique that produces photorealistic graphics with true-to-life lighting and shadow formations“) and claiming to be “the holy grail of computer graphics.” This
Alexander KnappOver the last few days things have gotten quite exciting for the Nintendo Switch modding community, which recently got its hands on tools that allow for greater levels of device access and control. For example, unlike other online services which allow users to upload custom avatars (PlayStation for example), the Switch has a very limited, very short list of Nintendo themed visuals for players to select as their profile avatar. The pictures are mostly used for profile identification purposes, but in the case of Super Mario Odyssey, the images are used and displayed online. Odyssey features a post-game activity called
Chase McCainA seemingly short lived return for what many would now describe as “classic Halo,” Microsoft appears to be taking legal action against ElDewrito: a free executable allowing users to play a modded version of Halo Online on their PC. We wrote about the mod back in March, when hype was mounting in anticipation of the 0.6 build release; now finally here, this moment in Halo history, in which you can use your keyboard and mouse to dumpster kids with no-scope flick-shots during mid-air man cannon jumps on Narrows, might be all too fleeting. Late last night on April 24, a
Chase McCainRemember Halo 3? What am I saying, of course you do! But what about Halo Online, maybe not so much? Back in 2016 Microsoft and 343 Industries (their dedicated Halo studio) actively began courting the PC market with a free-to-play, “Russia-only” derivation of the iconic FPS title Halo 3. Shuttered later that summer, the game shed a brief and lovely light. The prospect of playing Bungie’s epic trilogy-ender on the PC was an exciting one, especially in lieu of the storied struggle that The Master Chief Collection has become. But there is in fact life after death, as ElDewrito inches
Chase McCainWhile From Software’s Souls series is developed with the single-player experience in mind, it’s clear that the interconnectivity offered through the online multiplayer enhances the experience immensely. Touching bloodstains of past players in order to relive their deaths, reading their words and messages left behind, or entering another player’s world to help (or hinder) them, the Souls multiplayer aspect complimented both the gameplay and atmosphere of the games. For that reason exactly, the multiplayer component solidified itself as a mainstay element despite initially being an afterthought. Many fans were saddened by Demon’s Souls server shutdown on February 28 this year. But
Will YaltrinYou’ve probably passed by them hundreds of times, you’ve seen young children beg and plead with their parents over them. Both absurdly exciting and impossibly frustrating, the call of the crane game beckons us all with the alluring suggestion of easy loot. Such wild fantasies had previously been limited to the physical realm, relegated to dark corners of the arcade and by the checkout at select Walmarts. But now, users will be able to play the claws in Japan from the comfort of their own home. The way it works is simple. You log onto toreba.net like you would any
