Starfield has more talking than Skyrim and Fallout 4 combined

Todd Howard says its points-based persuasion system is his favourite It’s been months since we’ve heard much from Bethesda’s upcoming sci-fi RPGStarfield, but studio director Todd Howard has been answering some questions about the game in a new video series. You can watch Howard chatting about the make-believe space programme below, where he covers ifStarfieldis hard sci-fi (not really), the game’straits system, and dialogue. It seems that Starfield RPG’s are incredibly chatty, with many times more dialogue thanFallout 4andSkyrim....

The Case Of The Golden Idol review: a gripping detective game with echoes of Obra Dinn

Murders most foul Detective games are often about filling in the blanks. A terrible crime will sit at the heart of them, yes, but most take place in the days and weeks that follow, where the bulk of your time is spent gathering clues and building a case to work out whodunnit. Rarely do you get to glimpse the immediate aftermath of the crime itself, where all the major suspects are still in play and their pockets are stuffed with incriminating evidence they’ll no doubt be disposing of in the coming minutes....

We are the world We celebrate all three of us being back on the Electronic Wireless Showpodcast, but two thirds of us being be-plagued, by talking about rejuvinating the Earth - truly, the podcast host of usall. Inspired by new eco-friendly farming gameCoral Island, which I’ve been playing this week, we talk about our favourite games that roll with an ecological protection theme. This is hard for Matthew, because he hates the environment (unless his immediate environment contains a can of Rio)....

The Ryzen 7 5800X CPU is down to $230 in the wake of Ryzen 7000's release

That’s $220 below its US MSRP, and a fine deal on a high-end bit of kit. So: let’s cut to the chase. The 5800X is down to $229.99 at Ebay, from a list price of $449, meaning it’s nearly 50% off. That also makes it $170 cheaper than the equivalent Ryzen 7000 processor, the $400 eight-core Ryzen 7700X. Or, to put it another way, you’re paying around 60% of the price for at least 80% of the gaming performance of that newer CPU - not bad, given that you’ll also pay way less for a complete Ryzen 5000 system (with AM4 motherboards and DDR4) than a complete Ryzen 7000 one (with AM5 motherboards and DDR5)....

This Cyberpunk 2077 mod adds Edgerunners-inspired cyberpsychosis

Lose humanity for each cyberware installed CD Projekt Red recently updatedCyberpunk 2077to add items from the new anime series, Cyberpunk: Edgerunners. Their own updates didn’t add the show’s omnipresent risk of cyberpsychosis, however, so a modder has stepped in to do it for them. TheWannabe Edgerunnermod adds a “humanity” cost to all cyberware implants and certain actions in the open-world shooter, as well as consequences for when your humanity gets too low....

£90 is a good deal for EVGA's 850W G6 80+ Gold power supply

A nifty £30 reduction on a PSU that can handle RTX 4090. This is actually the second time I’ve brought up this PSU on RPS, although last time it was for a deal on the other side of the pond. Here’s how I described the EVGA P6 then: So altogether then, quite a fine choice. The 850W model isn’t quite as fancy as its 1000W Platinum-rated counterpart, but it should offer more than enough power for even Nvidia’s RTX 40-series flagship....

1997 Simpson's joke about Kevin Costner's Waterworld now an elaborate freeware game

Please insert 40 quarters I first made the RPS treehouse aware of Kevin Costner’s Waterworld The Game over a week ago, when I dumpedthis tweetin our work chat. At the time it was swiftly shot down as an obvious joke, and I was shamed, but now the freeware game based on a ten-second joke in a 1997 episode of The Simpsons is out. So who’s laughing now, eh? Play it for yourself viacreator Macaw45’s itch....

Cultic review: crunchy retro-inspired FPS is a vicious, violent delight

Blood brother Cultichas really good headshots. I mean, it also has a lot of other things going for it, but it feels rude not to highlight this right at the very top because I think it’s important. Cultic’s headshots are sensational. Enemy noggins pop with a squelchy crack that tickles a very unnerving part of my brain, the resulting blood fountain spraying so high it causes the ceiling to drip with human juice long after your hopeless adversary has slumped to the floor....
