That didn’t stop Lenovo from decking out its refreshed ThinkPad P52 with up to that amount of DDR4 memory, along with an Intel Core or Xeon 6-core processor and Nvidia Quadro P3200 graphics. The ThinkPad P52 also features a 15.6-inch display with a 4K resolution, another option that is available in the consumer space. Lenovo is pitching the ThinkPad P52 in part as a VR-ready system. Power users are free to jump on board as well, though there’s more here than most users need at the moment. The Th

Here’s what I can tell you about Code Vein. It is very much a Souls game, with parrying, backstabs, and an obnoxiously rejiggered button layout. Code Vein is also extremely anime. But here’s the other thing about Code Vein: it works. Code Vein is still that anime Dark Souls game, but after playing it, I mostly mean that as a compliment.

In a security bulletin, Intel refers to the new attack vector as a “Lazy FP state restore’ bug. Red Hat is calling it a “Lazy FPU Restore” flaw. Systems using Intel Core-based microprocessors may potentially allow a local process to infer data utilizing Lazy FP state restore from another process through a speculative execution side channel,” Intel explains. The bug takes advantage of a performance optimization technique called FPU context switching. “The Lazy FP state restore issue is similar to

Tom Clancy’s The Division 2 picks up from The Division 1’s viral apocalypse, moving ahead to summertime in a new city: Washington, D.C. The Division 2 will see new skills, weapons, enemies, and—for the first time—raids. The Division 2’s release date is March 15, 2019. And finally, how about a cinematic to establish a relentlessly bleak tone of The Division 2’s post apocalypse. Tell me more about The Division 2’s specializationsThese are an important part of The Division 2’s endgame.

Retro-futurist mecha game Scythe has finally come to wide release on Steam, entering Early Access yesterday. An adaptation of one of the most popular board games of the last few years, Scythe is a 4x that sees players vying over the fictional landscape of eastern Europa in the 1920s. A highly strategic game that focuses on encouraging players to adapt their overall tactics to the board as it develops, Scythe is beloved by many board gamers for its combination of unique visuals and thematic gamep

Benjamin Penrose almost gets misty-eyed when he talks about recreating Playground Games’ native Britain for Forza Horizon 4. “We came to the conclusion that we couldn’t do seasons without Britain, and we couldn’t do Britain without seasons.” Penrose says that you won’t be ejected from Forza Horizon 4’s world if your connection goes out, which means you can shift seamlessly from single-player back to multiplayer. Four games in, Playground has gotten really good at making open-world driving games.

It’s telling that when mentioned in our work chat this afternoon, some of the PCG team had forgotten the Xbox app for Windows 10 existed. As reported by The Verge, Phil Spencer has now admitted this, and says Microsoft is “reworking” how it thinks about its PC audience. “You could see that some of the people making decisions there and some of our early efforts were really more console-to-PC than respecting the PC audience and the things that they were looking for. Spencer then spoke about bringi

AMD is pushing out its Radeon Software Adrenalin 18.6.1 driver release, which is listed as “optional” on the company’s driver page. Outside of higher framerates in Warhammer: Vermintide 2, the 18.6.1 driver release also contains a handful of bug fixes, including a couple of multi-GPU issues. Middle Earth: Shadow of War may experience flickering in some game menus or when configuring displays when using multi GPU system configurations. An equal number of known issues remain, and will have to wait

Frontier’s Jurassic World Evolution will not have mod support, as Frontier has previously explained. Braben explains that while Elite doesn’t explicitly support mods, it does have third-party tools and third-party plugins which act in a similar way. “With mod support, people almost assume we’re doing it out of some Machiavellian [plan],” says Braben. With E3 and everything that entails, you may have missed Jurassic World Evolution’s launch this week. Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom hits cinemas n

Did you watch the Resident Evil 2 remake debut trailer? It promises some fantastic and gruesome survival horror come January—even if its B-movie tone appears to have slipped somewhat in the process. It’s a rare time for zombie hunters, I reckon, because the Resident Evil 4 HD Project mod now also has a launch date: July 13, 2018. Over four years in the making, the RE4 HD Project improves the original game’s textures, lighting—its new dynamic lighting and shadows look particularly nice here—UI, c

At E3 2018 Bethesda and id Software announced a sequel to their excellent 2016 Doom reboot, called Doom Eternal. Here’s the Doom Eternal trailerHere it is, complete with convulsing demonic tentacles. Creator director Hugo Martin says that there will be twice as many demons in Doom Eternal compared to the Doom 2016 reboot. What else do we know about Doom Eternal? According to the official Doom site “Doom Eternal will deliver the ultimate combination of speed and power, along with the next leap in

I’ve watched Cyberpunk 2077’s E3 trailer so many times that I’ve now lost count. Each time I do, I spot something I hadn’t before—which is why I find the following concept artwork so interesting. The snapshots below combine to show how CD Projekt Red’s ideas have evolved, and where the E3 trailer began. Let’s first have another look at the trailer in full, before we match up the concept snapshots with their final iterations below:First up, the hugging couple/idling car/brawling threesome scene.

Based on the hands-off demo I was shown at E3, Just Cause 4 will be more absurd than ever. Another grapple mod lets you attach boosters to objects. You can attach balloons to anythingIf boosters aren’t your thing, how about balloons? This is a pretty standard Just Cause mission, in which you go to an enemy base and blow a bunch of things up. As the demo fades to black, it’s revealed that the tornado is now headed directly for a nearby city.

Coming Winter 2018… pic.twitter.com/BsaLBLE9u3June 10, 2018At Microsoft’s E3 press conference, the trailer for PUBG contained an exciting little kicker at the end: a brief glimpse of a snowy winter map. Appropriately, the map is coming sometime this winter. I spoke to PUBG’s creative director Brendan “PlayerUnknown” Greene at E3 this week, and asked if the snowy footprints shown in the teaser would be a feature of the winter map. I was also curious about the size of the winter map: will it be

Nioh 2 was one of the genuine surprises of E3 2018: it was one of only a small handful of games that hadn’t been leaked or announced in advance of the major press conferences. While it was only confirmed for PS4 (it’s unveiling happened during Sony’s press conference), the first Nioh made its way to PC and I fully expect this one will, too. We now know a few things about the Souls-esque sequel, thanks to an interview during PlayStation’s Live from E3 stream, reported by Polygon. Speaking during

During Nintendo’s E3 2018 splurge yesterday, the battle royale component of Fortnite launched for Nintendo Switch. And just like the smartphone versions of the game, it supports crossplay with PC. In other words, next time you log-in to the game, you’ll be able to take out (or be taken out by) Nintendo Switch players. Nintendo of America head Reggie Fils-Aime alluded to the lack of PS4 crossplay yestserday in an interview with IGN. ” Whatever the case, if you’d prefer to play against PC players
