Following AMD’s unexpectedly strong reveal of its RX 6000 Series graphics cards on October 28, Nvidia appears to have been rapidly revising its second set of RTX 3000 Series cards to better compete. Several rumors have suggested that both of the upcoming Ti labeled cards, the RTX 3070 Ti and RTX 3080 Ti, have been significantly boosted in specification. The latest leak support those rumors, revealing an RTX 3080 Ti that will be surprisingly close to the RTX 3090....

While EA puts out some outstanding games, their business practices don’t always jive with gamers. Now, things are about to get a bit worse, as EA’s official Battelfield 3 servers are being traded for a multitude of player-run games. Early this year, EA and DICE gave console Battlefield 3 players the ability to rent their own servers from the publisher. Usually, this would be cause for celebration, as this means players now have more flexibility to play the game their way, but things aren’t going so smoothly....

Admittedly, not all video game movies need to stay entirely true to their roots. the Sonic the Hedgehog movie, for example, didn’t entirely take place in a mystical world with looped roads and tiny animals being turned into robots by a strange fat bald guy. It was still a fun and enjoyable movie despite the departure from the source material. But it’s a fine line and one that’s easy to cross....

The Pyromancer is a medium-range class that is basically Outriders’ mage: squishy and can feel a bit underpowered in the early game. With the right approach through of three class trees for Pyromancer (Ash Breaker, Fire Storm, and Tempest), you can create a powerful build that can sustain health and deal damage. In terms of mods, each mod for the Pyromancer is very specific for the kind of Pyromancer build you’re going for....

Overwatch experimental updates are always interesting, as some wildly controversial changes have been seen inside these patches. However, it seems like the most intriguing aspect of the latest update is not the actual changes to Overwatch, but instead the bugs that came with them. While an odd experimental bug tied to the popular Overwatch hero Lucio is making the rounds, as it sees the character killing teammates with his Crossfade ability, this rare glitch does not even come close to what is happening with Genji....

Dataminers work hard to sift through Overwatch’s files and reveal that a Christmas-themed update is most likely on its way for Blizzard’s team-based shooter. There is yet to be official word on a holiday-themed Overwatch event. However, delving into the game’s files reveals that new content will be coming as the year undergoes its most festive of seasons. Blizzard is well-known for releasing special events for its latest first-person shooter, including its recent Halloween Terror update and the Summer Games modes that were held earlier this year....

During a Q&A with fans on Discord last week, Blizzard Entertainment Vice President and Overwatch Game Director Jeff Kaplan teased a “cool” new Mercy skin that would be releasing sometime soon. Earlier today it seems that aesthetic makeover was revealed to be Mercy’s new Legendary “Dragoon” skin being added as part of the 2020 Overwatch Anniversary event. Since the team-based first-person shooter was released back in 2016, each year’s Overwatch Anniversary event has brought a bevy of new special skins to equip on its diverse cast of characters....

After a bit of a delay, Microsoft is now allowing for some games in the Windows Store to be modded for the first time, making the PC version of the Xbox Game Pass more attractive to prospective consumers. The move had been announced previously but not implemented, leaving many to wonder if it would happen as all. Although the new Xbox app for Windows 10 is currently in beta, it nonetheless looks quite impressive....

“Financially dissatisfied, sexually satisfied, philosophically trying,” Mick Jagger said at a press conference leading to the infamous 1969 free concert at Altamont. He had just been asked if he’d finally gotten enough of the elusive stuff he melodically rhapsodizes on in The Rolling Stones’ breakthrough single. My Life as a Rolling Stone may not give fans everything they want on the band who helped change culture, but it fills a need....

Square Enix takes gamers on another trip through Final Fantasy 15’s gorgeous world with a new trailer that ditches the storytelling and instead focuses on the game’s stunning environments. Final Fantasy 15 has gone through some changes after it was first announced a few years back. Before this, however, it used to be Final Fantasy Versus XIII, which is probably its most significant change. After it became the next official sequel in the series, it overhauled the story a few times before it got to the more cohesive – yet still slightly confusing – place it is today....

A PlayStation Underground hands-on video showcases NieR: Automata’s open world gameplay, displaying features that make the game a strong choice for sleeper hit of 2017. NieR: Automata is a game as strange as some of its designers, but both possess the kind of oddball charm that is more endearing than off-putting. What began as a quiet announcement during an event that saw much of the hype directed toward Final Fantasy 15, however, has quickly become many RPG fans choice for sleeper hit of 2017, as NieR: Automata has impressed both aesthetically and in its gameplay for months now....

After releasing less than 24 hours ago for PC, Hello Games’ space exploration and survival title No Man’s Sky becomes one of the best-selling games on Steam ever. Although No Man’s Sky hasn’t been the smoothest launch on PC in terms of technical performance for some players, as there have been reports of low frame rates, stuttering, crashes, and myriad issues with the platform’s server, the title continues to be played like gangbusters on Steam....

Last week saw the early (and totally unsurprising) reveal of Medal of Honor 2 - officially titled Medal of Honor: Warfighter - and Electronic Arts quickly offered an official spin on the announcement with some Medal of Honor: Warfighter artwork. We knew a sequel was in development for quite a while, with EA talking up plans to alternate annualized releases between the rebooted Medal of Honor franchise and DICE’s Battlefield games, and Battlefield 3 even came with a tease in its retail packaging....

The wonderful thing about Nolan North is that everyone who knows his name associates him with something different. Some will imagine him as Assassin’s Creed’s Desmond Miles, others the Batman Arkham series’ villainous Penguin, while there’s likely a number of huge Marvel fans who see him only as Deadpool’s titular merc with a mouth. More than likely though, the character most envision when Nolan North’s name is brought up is Uncharted’s lovably reckless protagonist Nathan Drake....

Facebook’s Oculus Quest headset has proven to be one of the most popular virtual reality headsets on the market, thanks to its wires-free approach to VR.

According to the trailer, the Oculus Quest 2 is smaller than the original Oculus Quest, which will allow for increased user comfort....
