Nvidia GeForce RTX 4080 review: a powerful GPU with a big pricing problem

1 year 4 months ago

There's going to be a lot of criticism aimed at Nvidia's new RTX 4080 but it's important to stress that there is nothing wrong with the Founders Edition we are reviewing today in terms of its construction, features and overall quality. Just like the RTX 4090, it's a quality product created by a company that's arguably at the top of its game, a firm at the pioneering forefront of graphics technology. Pricing is a different matter, however. It's simply too high, even at its MSRP baseline and especially so with some of the third party partner cards we've seen. The product is a good chunk faster than any of the prior Nvidia Ampere offerings, including the RTX 3090 Ti, but the performance boost doesn't always correlate with the price being charged, to the point where there are data points to suggest that the $1599 RTX 4090 actually offers a better deal.

The Founders Edition we're looking at today arrives in the same packaging as the RTX 4090 and in the same excellent casing. The only difference is that while the same controversial 12VHPWR socket is on the card (yes, the melting one - and we're still waiting for definitive answers on why that happened) but this time you get a dongle adapter with just three eight-pin PCIe inputs. That's still more than enough, bearing in mind that the much more power-hungry RTX 3090 Ti shipped with the same adapter - and the RTX 4090 worked with it too. The uniform design across both Ada Lovelace cards also means that you're getting the same video options: one HDMI 2.1 and three DisplayPort 1.4a ports.

Former Valorant streamer dropped by Sky Sports after past misogynistic comments surface

1 year 4 months ago

Sky Sports is reportedly no longer working with streamer IShowSpeed after news of his misogynistic, racist and abusive comments reached executives at the channel.

Until recently the streamer, whose real name is Darren Watkins Jr, was working with Sky Sports, helping with its broadcasts of matches for the English Premier League.

However, the channel has now removed almost all traces of the streamer from its social media feeds (although some still remain).

Xbox's Phil Spencer promises not to "pull the rug underneath PlayStation 7's legs" with Call of Duty access

1 year 4 months ago

Xbox boss Phil Spencer has further clarified his position regarding Call of Duty's future on PlayStation following Microsoft's acquisition of Activision Blizzard.

Speaking via the Decoder podcast, Spencer said the company intended to sell Call of Duty on PlayStation "for as long as players want to play Call of Duty on PlayStation".

Back in September, Spencer made a written commitment to PlayStation's Jim Ryan that Call of Duty will remain on PlayStation. However, Ryan labelled the statement "inadequate on many levels," while others point out that a commitment is not a legally binding contract.

Destiny cheaters fail in bid to countersue Bungie for hacking their computer

1 year 4 months ago

The long-running legal battle between Bungie and Destiny cheat software maker AimJunkies appears to finally be near its conclusion - with victory now in sight for Bungie.

US District Court Judge Thomas Zilly has ruled against AimJunkies' eyebrow-raising bid to countersue Bungie for allegedly accessing its computers - a retaliatory move which the cheating firm claimed amounted to the Destiny maker hacking it.

Now, a new ruling (first reported by Torrentfreak), has dismissed AimJunkies' defence and left Bungie looking likely to win its original complaint, which alleged that AimJunkie's cheating software infringed on Destiny's copyright and trademarks.

Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2.0 Battle Pass details accidently revealed early

1 year 4 months ago

Details of Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2.0's Battle Pass have been revealed early, after the game's regional account in Australia and New Zealand posted the trailer before promptly taking it down.

However, the trailer was already captured and reposted across the web, revealing major changes to the franchise's battle pass system.

Activision has abandoned the linear progression of previous seasons of Call of Duty, opting instead for a "combat map" which gives players a sense of choice of what they unlock. It isn't a particularly novel idea, with many other live service games already using a modular battle pass model.

A Little to the Left review - cozy puzzling hits the limits of its form

1 year 4 months ago

The act of organising is a powerful one. It allows us to make sense of chaos, to put order to the objects around us and focus our mind. A Little to the Left, a puzzle game and first effort from Max Inferno, sets out to capture this, asking you to organise household items whilst dealing with the occasional disruption from a cat. The problem is, the fact A Little to the Left is a puzzle game is the thing that's holding it back.

Let me explain. Imagine there's a random set of books in front of us. You might choose to order them in alphabetical order by author. I could choose to order them by title instead. I could go for something less practical like the colour of the covers, which wouldn't be of much help if I needed to find a particular book, but it'd be aesthetically pleasing. Part of the power of organising comes from creativity and control. There is no "correct" answer in tidying, but A Little to the Left asks you to find it.

Looks like Ubisoft is returning to Steam

1 year 4 months ago

Steam versions of various recent Ubisoft games appear to be on the way, according to datamined store details which have popped up online.

Earlier this month, a Steam version of Assassin's Creed Valhalla was spotted in Ubisoft Connect's database, prompting speculation the smash hit Viking adventure would finally arrive on Valve's PC storefront. To date, PC players have only been able to access Valhalla via Ubisoft's own launcher or the Epic Games Store.

A Steam version of Ubisoft sports title Roller Champions was also spotted - and today was also made briefly available to view on SteamDb, all but confirming the game will launch there. Roller Champions feels like it has struggled to find much of an audience to date; a Steam launch would certainly help it along.

Good luck figuring out how to download Warzone 2.0

On PlayStation 5, you'll find a promoted Warzone 2.0 tile which you can click on, taking you to a dedicated page for Modern Warfare 2, Warzone 2.0 and an upsell of Call of Duty Points.

Rather confusingly, clicking on Warzone 2.0 will take you to the store page for Modern Warfare 2. You'll end up in the same place if you search for Warzone 2.0 manually. This is unfortunately a symptom of Warzone 2.0's integration with Modern Warfare 2's launcher.

Nintendo updated Arms today, for first time in four years

Remember Arms? Nintendo's colourful spring-loaded boxing game launched in 2017 and was last updated the following year - until today, when it received a mysterious new version.

A number of other older Nintendo Switch games have simultaneously been updated, including Super Mario Maker 2 and Splatoon 2.

And the same mysterious update has also been added to Switch smash hit Animal Crossing: New Horizons, which Nintendo abandoned a year ago, after 18 months of patchy post-launch support.

Somerville review - a tasteful apocalypse with a little light puzzling

1 year 4 months ago

Oh, harmony. Look at those long, elegant limbs. A hero who is all sticks and elbows and knees, thin and drawn-in and desperate. I can just imagine the mechanics in play as he folds himself into the back seat of a car. And look! Look at the world around him, with its long thin alien craft in the sky, certainly, firing down lean graphite pencil strokes of death. But look as well at the low-poly landscape that is being ravaged, the buildings narrow and extended upwards, as if their tops had been gripped and given a good pull. A beanpole world in which a beanpole protagonist can stealth past beanpole enemies. Someone thought a long time about this. It's beautiful, strange, and coherent.

Somerville is pretty simple in theory. It's the alien apocalypse, viewed from the perspective of a family - two parents, a toddler, a dog - whose lives are upended by the invasion. The family is swiftly separated after the aliens descend and we follow the father as he heads out to find everyone again.

But I play it and other games intrude. For one thing, it's hard not to think of the likes of Limbo and Inside, since Jumpship, the studio behind Somerville, shares serious DNA with those games, and belongs, in a sense, to the genre they codified. You know, wordless, uncanny games about platforming and puzzling your way through stealthy terrorscapes. Somerville gives you a bit more freedom over the third-dimension - you can move into the screen as well as back and forth, allowing levels to spill in unexpected directions - but the beats are the same, and the air of desperation and sadness are the same too.

Post-apocalyptic airship survival game Forever Skies delayed into next year

1 year 4 months ago

Forever Skies, developer Far From Home's intriguing game of airships and survival above a post-apocalyptic Earth, has been delayed into next year following a flurry of feedback in response to its popular Steam Next Fest demo in October.

According to Far From Home, over 80,000 people played the Forever Skies demo, resulting in a "wave of positive and constructive feedback" the studio wants to implement before launching into Early Access - something it was initially planning to do before the end of this year.

"On the surface everything seemed great," Far From Home says of its recent feedback. "83% of respondents rated the demo as 8/10 or above. But when we looked deeper, we started seeing things that a lot of players said they missed."

Popular free Superman Unreal Engine 5 demo 'stolen' and sold as $11 game on Steam

1 year 4 months ago

An eye-catching Superman demo, made in Unreal Engine 5 and widely circulated online earlier this year, has been taken and sold on Steam as an $11 game.

The original proof-of-concept demo - titled A Superman Style Flight Experience (UE5) - was created by Toybox Games' Tyson Butler-Boschma, utilising the City Sample from Epic Games' The Matrix Awakens as a sandbox for superhero flight. In April, Butler-Boschma made the playable demo freely available via itch.io, but unfortunately, it's here things begin to go awry.

At the start of November, Butler-Boschma was alerted to the fact an entity calling itself Hero Game Studios had taken his demo - a project he created "for fun to show what could be made" in Unreal Engine 5 - and started selling it on Steam under the name Heroes City Superman Edition with an asking price of $10.99 USD.

Much of the document is spent reiterating the various tools and processes Microsoft and Xbox players have at their disposal to ensure users remain safe and community guidelines are adhered to, ranging from parental controls to reporting.

God of War Ragnarök Easter egg sees Kratos atone for brutish behavior towards the boat captain

1 year 4 months ago

God of War Ragnarök portrays Kratos as a somewhat more level-headed god-killing powerhouse than in some of his past adventures which, to be honest, showed Sony's protagonist in a less, erm, morally sound light. Ok, ok, let's face it, Kratos was a bit of a knob in the past.

One NPC that would whole-heartily agree with me on this is the boat captain from the original God of War. Remember him? It is hard not to, as he was certainly put through it by Kratos.

Please note, some of the below could be considered spoilers. If you're still reading and want to go into the God of War series blind, this is your cue to head elsewhere now.

Tactics Ogre: Reborn's swear filter blocks one of the game's default names

Tactics Ogre: Reborn has a silly swear filter which is blocking one of the game's own default names it can suggest for you to use.

The revamped role-playing classic will offer the title of "Flamescale" for characters whose date of birth is listed as between 2nd and 25th May. However, the game then tells you "Flamescale" is actually not allowed, as it contains "banned words".

This issue, picked up by fan Choojermelon on Twitter (thanks, PCGamer) appears to stem from the name's inclusion of "mescal", the illegal psychedelic enjoyed by Hunter S. Thompson and others.

Pentiment review - a 16th century mystery that blossoms with intrigue and human warmth

1 year 4 months ago

Pentiment sent me back to dig out my old copy of The Name of the Rose, and not merely because it's another murder-mystery - of a kind - set in and around a medieval monastery. It's mostly because there's a lovely passage on pens early on in Umberto Eco's book that I wanted to remind myself of.

Here it is, nestled in the fake introduction, which suggests that this careful clockwork novel you're about to read is in fact a true story, a haphazard manuscript that has fallen into the hands of an academic, who has merely provided a translation:

"[In] almost a single burst of energy, I completed a translation, using some of those large notebooks from the Papetiere Joseph Gilbert in which it is so pleasant to write if you use a felt-tip pen."

God of War Ragnarök gets fan-made PlayStation 1 demake trailer

European Commission responds as staff member says COD will stay on "my PlayStation"

An European Commission staff member has raised eyebrows for their public comments on the organisation's ongoing investigation into Microsoft's $68.7bn Activision Blizzard takeover bid - and prompted the EU Commission itself to respond.

Last week, Commission member Ricardo Cardoso tweeted to say that the organisation was "working to ensure that you will still be able to play Call of Duty on other consoles (including my PlayStation)."

On the one hand, the comment simply describes the situation as Microsoft has too - that Activision's blockbuster shooter franchise will remain on Sony platforms "as long as there's a PlayStation out there to ship to". On the other, fans expressed surprise a Commission staff member was discussing the matter publicly, and expressing an opinion which seemed mostly concerned with their own console choice.

Fortnite signals shock early end to its third map

Fortnite has stunned fans by signalling an early end to its third map at the conclusion of its current season, via a live event named Fracture set to take place at 9pm UK time on 3rd December.

Fracture was teased tonight by developer Epic Games at the conclusion of Fortnite Champion Series, its first major in-person Fortnite competition for several years. A title card for Fracture appeared after the tournament's trophy presentation, simply listing the upcoming live event's date, time, and description as the "Chapter 3 Finale event".

Each in-game "Chapter" of Fortnite has so far concluded with a complete reboot of the battle royale's beloved Island. After two years and 10 seasons, the game's original Island got sucked into a black hole in October 2019. After another two years, this time divided into eight seasons, the game's second Island was flipped over to reveal the current map lying underneath in December 2021.

Cyberpunk 2077: how the FSR2 upgrade improves visual quality

1 year 4 months ago

Cyberpunk continues to get better with every patch. From the bug fixes, the added performance and ray tracing modes on PS5 and Series X, the input lag improvements in patch 1.6, and even Series S getting a 60fps performance mode - the game continues to evolve. Developer CD Projekt RED goes further with the new 1.61 patch, which adds AMD’s FidelityFX Super Resolution, version 2.1, into the game. This is good news for PC owners of course, but FSR2 is also integrated into the console builds too - so what kind of improvement does it bring?

In case this is new to you, FSR2 is a smart upscaling technique designed by AMD, the ideal being to render a good-looking 4K output image using just an internal 1080p image, drastically improving performance in the process. With the move to FSR2, there's an opportunity to adjust the native rendering resolutions on every console. However, in my tests, native resolution targets on consoles generally seem unchanged and dynamic resolution scaling is still in effect. For example, on Xbox Series S' quality mode we have 1440p as the target, though the lowest possible resolution does seem to shift, from the 1296p seen in version 1.6 to 1080p on this new patch.

Reinventing the wheel

1 year 4 months ago

Game of the Week goes out to all of our supporters as part of the Eurogamer Essentials newsletter, and from today we'll start putting it on the site. There's going to be a slight shake-up of the supporters program in the near future (don't worry - it's all good news) so stay tuned for more details, and thanks as ever for your support - it's much appreciated.

There's not too much common ground between God of War and Sonic the Hedgehog, of course (and if you're looking for a point of differentiation, the cool 22 points between the pair on Metacritic's as good a place as any to start) but as this week's two big releases they make fascinating bedfellows.

God of War: Ragnarok is the epitome of the modern blockbuster - big, bold and maybe a little bit bloated, it's nevertheless a powerhouse that shows the might of Sony's first-party studios. Is it a blockbuster that's overly iterative? Maybe, though I'd also suggest it might just be a blockbuster that's smart. The original God of War reboot was a colossal success, so offering more of the same is hardly cynical; indeed, the lingering complaint I've heard from people is that there's too much game there, and if anything it might have benefitted from being split into two separate titles (please don't let anyone at Sony get wind of this notion, as I'm sure they'd be delighted to charge twice too).

Diablo 4 may have a more open world, but the story will have "a beginning, middle, and end"

"One of the concerns about putting 'open world' in a big neon and flashing that sign is that people have that notion of Breath of the Wild, 'oh, it’s completely organic and I can go anywhere and do anything'," Fergusson said, as transcribed by NME.
