The latest entry in Codemasters’ off-road racing series, Dirt 4, launches today in North America, though in Blighty we’re stuck waiting until June 9. In the meantime, there’s a new trailer full of cars getting very, very muddy. With its two handling modes, Gamer and Simulation, Dirt 4 is trying to skirt the line between arcade and sim, making it, Codemasters hopes, accessible for both new players and series veterans alike. It’s also pretty big. The Your Stage system means that you’ll be able to,

Following the release of the Mega Man Legacy Collection last year, which collected the series’ instalments from 1 to 6, Capcom has announced a second serving. As you might expect, Mega Man Legacy Collection 2 collects the games from 7 until 10, and it’ll do so pretty soon: August 8, to be exact. It’s quite an interesting period for Mega Man: the seventh instalment released for the Super Nintendo in 1995, following by the series’ first 32-bit outing on PS1 only a year later. As for Mega Man 9 – i

Here’s a simple method to ensure you have the best possible chance of landing first. How to land fastWhen diving out of the plane steer yourself towards the area you want to land and fly parallel to the ground (for instance by aiming at the horizon if you’re looking to land at a distant target).

Bethesda Game Studios Montreal is working on a “bleeding-edge AAA freemium game”, according to a new job listing on the Zenimax website. The successful applicant will “work with the game design team on monetization design, strategy and execution”, among other responsibilities. The job listing doesn’t specify what type of game it will be, nor which platforms it will launch on. What we do know, is that Bethesda is working on three “big” projects which have yet to be announced. Will Bethesda take t

I love tiny little puzzle games. They make shorter puzzle games, but that also means they are only $1/£0.79. Alan Hazelden and Benjamin Davis also made another one of my favorite little puzzle games called A Good Snowman is Hard to Build. And even though it’s simple, Linelight’s presentation and music set it apart from a lot of other puzzle games. Kami has been around for more than four years now, but it still holds up as a great puzzle game.

That is part of the idea of behind the cord cutting movement that has an increasing number of cable and satellite TV subscribers jumping ship into streaming TV services. Now Plex users can watch live TV in addition to recording TV shows and movies. Or better yet, tune in to today’s episode of ‘The Price is Right’ right this second! Live TV is built right into the Media Server and supported through Plex’s Android TV and iOS apps. To be clear, what Plex is offering here is not on the level of some

To that end, Apple announced a commitment to VR, with senior vice president Craig Federighi confirming that “Valve is bringing SteamVR to Mac,” Arstechnica reports. Shortly after Apple hyped its commitment to VR, employees from Industrial Light and Magic (ILM) and Unity demonstrated the first native HTC Vive demo on a Mac system.

If you feel like your fancy gaming chair from Vertagear from missing something, you’re not alone. Vertager says its Trigger Headrest Sc (for “Self cleaning,” of course) is the first of its kind in the industry. It is also self-deodorizing, a feat Vertagear achieved by constructing the headrest out of recycled coffee grounds combined with fabric. The pores of the coffee grounds increase the exposure of the fabric surface to the air,” Vertagear explains. The Trigger Headrest Sc is compatible with

That’s where Electronic Arts will unveil, among other things, the debut gameplay trailer for FIFA 18, the latest iteration of its long-running soccer (that’s right, soccer) simulator. Ahead of that—as in, right now—we can kick back and enjoy the less game-like, but much more cinematic and Ronaldo-fueled, reveal trailer. There’s the standard edition, which includes five Jumbo Premium Gold Packs, a Cristiano Ronaldo loan for five games of FIFA Ultimate Team, and eight “special edition kits” for FU

The videogame voice actors strike that began last October is still underway, and while voice actors hold the line, game production has continued on. If our contract had not been adopted by anybody, we’d be in a much different position.” “But just remember that these actors are also working in commercials and animation and audio books and narration and promos,” he said. “Most of the actors who do videogame work are also actors who work in other fields even while the videogame portion of their sal

If you’re a fan of PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds, Twitch Prime, or the word ‘balaclava,’ I’ve got some news for you. The Early Access battle royale shooter is making some new skins available only to Twitch Prime members on June 9. The exclusive skins include a t-shirt (that says Twitch Prime on it), a pair of jeans (that also say Twitch Prime, across the butt), shoes (they don’t say anything as far as I can tell), and a balaclava (with the Twitch logo on it). If you play Battlegrounds and have b

Palmer Luckey set in motion a market obsession with virtual reality and related technologies (augmented reality and mixed reality). According to The New York Times, Luckey is spearheading a new startup that is working on surveillance technology that could be deployed on borders between countries and at military bases. Luckey has already met with White House officials to talk about his startup and the potential deployment of what would essentially be a virtual wall. “We are spending more than eve

“First, you’re going to notice less horizontal recoil so it’ll be easier to maintain your target. Secondly, you’re going to notice that, for rifles, the first shot is pretty much dead accurate and the longer you hold down the trigger the more inaccurate it gets by way of an increasing aimcone. Shotgun accuracy is also going up a bit thanks to the discovery that accuracy “cones” were actually being calculated as accuracy “pyramids.” Other changes in the update include the addition of drop boxes,

Overwatch players in China, according to this blog post translated by Reddit, are now able to spend real money to purchase in-game currency directly rather than relying on the randomness of loot box drops. “Based on the new law, we will change the way how players buy loot boxes,” the message says. “Rather than directly buying loot boxes, players now purchase in-game currency and will be gifted loot boxes. In-game currency can be used to unlock sprays, skins, etc.” Here’s the pricing:5 in-game cu
