My Time At Sandrock first started life as DLC, but its focus on story and community "blew up" into its own game

We speak to the devs behind the My Time At Portia sequel, which is finally hitting early access on May 26th But now the sequelMy Time At Sandrockis launching into early access on May 26th, bringing a whole new region to restore. Sandrock may look more traditionally post-apocalyptic, being as it is a sandy outback populated by cowboys, but it’s still got a helping-hands community feel at its core, plus an interesting eco-friendly angle and an all-new multiplayer mode....

Nvidia RTX 3080 Ti and 3090 Ti Founders Edition cards are in stock in the UK at RRP

A rare opportunity to get a high-end GPU at what it’s supposed to cost. Nvidia’s RTX 3080 Ti and 3090 Ti graphics cards aren only a bit faster than the RTX 3080 and RTX 3090 that came before them, but they are proving much easier to get ahold of at their (admittedly high) recommended retail prices. So are these a great buy? I’d say if you’re in the market for a GPU and don’t want to pay extortionate prices, then the 3080 Ti Founders Edition isn’t a bad bet....

A new Tomb Raider is now in development using Unreal Engine 5

It’ll have so many graphics It would seem to safe to assume that there’s always a Tomb Raider game at some stage of development, but Crystal Dynamics just confirmed it. At the tail end of today’s ‘State of Unreal Engine’ stream, they said that they’ve “just” started work - and in Unreal Engine 5, obviously. “We have just started development on our next Tomb Raider game, powered by Unreal Engine 5,” said Dalas Dickerson, Tomb Raider’s franchise manager at Crystal Dynamics....

Chrono Cross: The Radical Dreamers Edition would be a timeless JRPG, if it weren't for its shonky performance

I’ve still got mixed feelings about Squeenix’s upscaling tech, too Chrono Cross was one of those Square JRPGs that never made its way to Europe at its original time of release. Heck, the first time I got to play time-travel classicChrono Triggerwas when the Nintendo DS version came out in 2009, almost 15 years after it first came out on the SNES. Chrono Cross, its semi-related but not direct sequel, has taken even longer to get here....

Corsair's stylish Dominator Platinum RAM is 22% off today at Ebuyer UK

16GB of white, RGB-encrusted 3200MT/s RAM for massive style points. Corsair’s shiny Dominator Platinum DDR4 RAM looks great - and today, we found a 16GB kit that’s 22% off over at Ebuyer in the UK. It hits the sweet spot spec of 3200MHz CL16 too, which I’ve personally found the best bang for your buck in terms of actual in-game performance. Of course, you’re paying a little more here for the RGB lighting and the trendy white colour scheme, but there’s no harm in choosing components for their aesthetics too....

Elden Ring has buffed the big boy with the little horse again

A bugged patch had over-nerfed Starscourge Radahn A newElden Ringpatch has restored some power to Starscourge Radahn, a boss so delightful he has a whole festival celebrating him. A previous patch in mid-March made Radahn a pushover, see, and apparently that’s partially because a “bug” caused the intended nerfs to go too far. So, they’ve fixed that bug, giving Radahn some power back, but still leaving him slightly less mighty than he originally was....

Filming is underway on Netflix's The Witcher season 3

Here’s a photo and synopsis to prove it Netflix have started filming the third season of The Witcher, their flashy (and dumb and campy and fun) adaptation of the books about the white-haired monster hunter. To prove it, they shared a single on-location photo of the filming and the new season’s official synopsis. Let’s start with the picture, because I like pictures, they’re nice: Here’s the official synopsis for season three, as shared by Netflix’s WitcherTwitter account:...

Half-Life Alyx: Levitation is an ambitious VR mod coming this year

Promises a 4-5 hour campaign I felt sad upon completingHalf-Life: Alyx, because I’d spent years before its release without newHalf-Lifeto play and then, all too quickly, it was true again. Half-Life Alyx: Levitation is exciting to me, then. It’s a mod for Half-Life: Alyx which is promising a 4-5 hour campaign, and it looks excellent in its first trailer. One of the things singleplayer Half-Life mods usually struggle with is that they can’t match Valve’s pacing, because very few mod teams can successfully break up their combat with slickly animated and voiced story beats....
