  • GeForce RTX 50-Series GPUs Launched Today, But It's Not Easy To Grab One
    www.gamespot.com
    Several of Nvidia's new GeForce RTX 50-Series GPUs released today, January 30. The RTX 5090 and 5080 were briefly available to purchase this morning at Amazon, Best Buy, and Newegg. Rather predictably, stock disappeared in a flash, but we'd recommend checking the links below as we'd expect the cards to be restocked sporadically throughout the day. The RTX 5070 and 5070 Ti will be available in February, but an exact release date hasn't been revealed.Nvidia RTX 50-Series Restock TrackerCheck stock at Best BuyCheck stock at AmazonCheck stock at NeweggThe flagship card, the RTX 5090, is priced at $2,000, and Nvidia claims it's twice as powerful as the RTX 4090 but requires a 1,000-watt power supply--a huge leap from the RTX 4090's 450W baseline power draw. Despite its power demands, the RTX 5090 is more compact than its predecessor, fitting into smaller PC builds.The slimmer size and higher performance are true of all the cards in the lineup, with Nvidia claiming the $1,000 RTX 5080 to be twice as fast as the RTX 4080. The budget-priced $550 RTX 5070 offers performance comparable to the RTX 4090, at nearly a third of the price. The 5070 Ti, meanwhile, sits between the 5070 and 5080 in terms of price ($750) and performance.Continue Reading at GameSpot

  • Indiana Jones And The Great Circle Whips Up 4 Million Players Before PS5 Debut
    www.gamespot.com
    For the first time, Microsoft has dug up and dished out numbers for Indiana Jones and the Great Circle--one of Xbox Game Studios' biggest releases last year. Company CEO Satya Nadella revealed that the action-adventure title has seen over 4 million players so far on Xbox Series X|S and PC.VGC reports that Nadella revealed the engagement data for Indiana Jones and the Great Circle during a Microsoft earnings call earlier this week. "We saw rave reviews of Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, which has already been played by more than 4 million people," said the CEO. The game is definitely critically acclaimed, noted as one of GameSpot's best Xbox games of 2024 and nominated for Game of the Year at the upcoming 28th annual DICE Awards. That player number should grow when Indiana Jones and the Great Circle comes to PS5 this spring. Microsoft announced the MachineGames-developed title would hit Sony's console at Gamescom last year. Currently, the game is available on Game Pass for PC and Xbox Series X|S, so it's hard to decipher what the actual sales numbers are for it.Continue Reading at GameSpot

  • Gran Turismo 7 Update 1.55 details revealed, live today
    blog.playstation.com
    Gran Turismo players! This months Gran Turismo 7 update delivers a wide range of cars, from the original Gran Turismo F3500-A formula car to the Hyundai IONIQ 5 N 24. Be sure to experience the next-generation racing AI agent, Gran Turismo Sophy is now available on Autodromo de Interlagos and Mount Panorama Circuit.Update 1.55* for Gran Turismo 7 is available as of Wednesday, January 29 at 10:00pm PT / January 30 at 6:00am GMT / 3:00pm JST.Play Video*Internet connection and Gran Turismo 7 game required for update.4 new cars added this monthGran Turismo F3500-A(Can be purchased from Brand Central)An original formula car created in the image of classic F1 cars.The F3500-A is a Gran Turismo original formula machine born from a deep admiration for early 1990s F1 cars.Looking at its construction, the chassis is made from negative molded carbon fiber which was the style at the time. The suspension arrangement also uses a classic layout, featuring horizontally mounted shock absorbers actuated by pushrods and bell cranks.The power unit is a light and compact 3.5L naturally aspirated V12. Using pneumatic valves, it can reach 15,000 rpm, and variable length funnels on the intake system ensure ample torque across the rev range.The screaming sound of the exhaust at high RPMs is a unique quality of naturally aspirated systems that cannot be recreated with turbochargers. The transmission is a 6-speed semi-automatic box with paddle shifters, which has been mounted laterally to avoid any interference with the shape of the rear diffuser.Looking towards the aerodynamics, the monocoque uses a high nose design. Unlike modern front wings which tend to hang down from struts, this one uses an anhedral design where the wing spreads out diagonally from under the nose. There are several different wings, both front and rear, as well as engine cowl shapes available, allowing you to customize the car to your personal tastes.View and download imageDownload the imagecloseCloseDownload this imageView and download imageDownload the imagecloseCloseDownload this imageHonda Civic Si Extra (EF) 87(Can be purchased from Brand Central)A dominating force on the touring car circuit, this 4th generation Civic features the famous ZC engine.In 1987, the Civic received a full model change, bringing the series into its fourth generation. Often known as the Grand Civic or simply by its model code EF.The exterior retains the broad strokes of the previous model while adding modern touches to the slightly larger body. One of the largest changes was the overhauled platform which brought with it a new 4-wheel double wishbone suspension setup. The wheelbase was also lengthened significantly, allowing drivers to enjoy the cars sporty handling with more stability.The lineup retained the same 4 body variations as before, a 3-door hatchback, 4-door sedan, and a 5-door shuttle along with the Pro commercial model. Another carryover from the previous generation was the Si sport models featuring 1.6L DOHC inline-4 engines. Additionally, this generation saw the introduction of the Si Extra grade, which added a rich suite of equipment to the Si formula.The ZC engine received extensive tuning to increase the compression ratio, reduce airflow restriction on intake and exhaust, and reduce piston friction among other improvements. The result was a maximum power output of 128.2 BHP and 14.7 kgfm torque net. The previous Wonder Civic era boasted 133.1 BHP and 15.5 kgfm however these were gross figures. Net figures are typically 15% less than gross, which means that the new ZC unit was more powerful.The Si and Si Extra models also saw extensive use in arenas like the Japan Touring Car Championship (JTC). Starting from the 1988 season, the car would receive its first race victory in Round 3 before going on to win the drivers title and manufacturers title. The car would prove its strength once again in the 1989 season where it would take the manufacturers title again.View and download imageDownload the imagecloseCloseDownload this imageView and download imageDownload the imagecloseCloseDownload this imageHyundai IONIQ 5 N 24(Can be purchased from Brand Central)A fearsome driving machine that challenges the preconceptions of BEVs.The IONIQ 5 debuted in 2021 as Hyundais first electric only model. The car already had a clean modern look and excellent usability, but the real star of the lineup would come in 2023 with the introduction of the N model.For Hyundai, the N stands for the two facilities where this car was developed, Namyang in Korea and the Nrburgring in Germany, which speaks for the cars performance. With the addition of this name, the IONIQ 5 was transformed into the embodiment of driving pleasure.The drivetrain is a four-wheel drive system with motors on each of the front and rear axles. These provide a combined power output of 478 kW (641 BHP) / 770 Nm (78.5 kgfm) in overboost mode. Additionally, the system allows for adjustment of the front-to-rear power distribution, which makes it possible to drift the over 2 ton body when set to a rear power bias. A virtual dual-clutch transmission is also provided using regenerative braking power, with further driving euphoria provided by simulated exhaust sound.The IONIQ 5 N also features a multitude of exclusive furnishings on both interior and exterior.

In order to meet the needs of peoples various lifestyles, Toyota developed an all-new model that combines the comfort and space of an SUV with the active character of a coupe.The origins of this model lie in Toyotas new generation TNGA platform which was first employed in 2015 on the 4th generation model Prius. The suspension features a newly developed strut system on the front end, with a double wishbone setup on the rear. On top of this, sits a coupe style body featuring a complicated series of faceted surfaces.For the power unit, the car is available with the same 1.8L hybrid engine as the 4th generation Prius or a downsized 1.2L 4- cylinder turbo engine. The former is provided as a front-wheel drive powertrain and the latter as four-wheel drive. The S model featured here is hybrid entry grade model for the Japanese market which features 17-inch wheels.Exactly as Toyota had planned, the C-HR found support in areas all over the globe, and soon became a bestseller.

  • Hello Kitty Island Adventures quirks are well worth enduring
    www.polygon.com
    Hello Kitty Island Adventure was first released as an Apple Arcade exclusive arguably one of the only worthwhile exclusives the service has ever offered. The open-world Hello Kitty-themed life sim was well received upon its release in July 2023, but the games potential for competing with other great life sims was stunted by the contract. Now, a year and a half later, Hello Kitty Island Adventure finally comes to Nintendo Switch and Windows PC, with more console releases planned for the rest of 2025. And while the game screams Switch its clearly designed in the style of Animal Crossing: New Horizons some lingering mobile-only quirks might make it a tough sell for people who arent already invested in the Sanrio universe.When it comes to Sanrio fanservice, though, this game is absolutely, downright, 100% delightful. You cant compete with the joy that comes with delivering gifts on behalf of My Melody or going bug-hunting with Keroppi. There are Gudetama lazing about all over the world, and you get rewards for photographing a lot of them. I got my review code for this game the week of the U.S. presidential inauguration, and playing it almost felt like the salve New Horizons was during the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic a feeling that makes me excited to check out the multiplayer mode, too.But the more time I spent with Hello Kitty Island Adventure, the more annoyed I became with the games poor explanations of crucial gameplay mechanics particularly the mechanics that start to become more relevant as you get further into the game. The games sense of time is the biggest problem: It has in-game days, which are mostly inconsequential, as well as mechanics that rely on the passage of time in real life. So, when Hello Kitty tells you to come back tomorrow to learn another cake recipe, its initially unclear whether thats an in-game tomorrow or a real-time tomorrow. Items respawn depending on how much real time has passed; you can only give your friends three gifts per real day. In that sense, the games days feel like theyre there for visual interest alone a bit of a disappointing departure from the cozy life sim genre.Other departures are refreshing, like the lack of a traditional currency. Instead, you swap less valuable items, or a combination of them, for more valuable items and its nice to not have to grind toward a massive savings in order to hit cruising altitude with the game. Friendships are similarly simple: Its easy to level up your relationships at first, and each characters preferences are denoted with tags rather than forcing you to use trial and error or keep a guide up on your browser while you play. You wont run out of energy in Hello Kitty Island Adventure either a core mechanic of life sims that can feel exhausting, no pun intended, and sometimes like a force-fed replacement for difficulty.The main grind of Hello Kitty Island Adventure has to do with that element of time: waiting for a real-life day to pass so you can level your friendships up more, collect more items you need, unlock more daily quests, and so on. As such, Ive found myself time traveling a lot something Polygon service writer Ana Diaz, who played the game via Apple Arcade, told me was always possible. The fact that the game doesnt break or punish you for save-scumming is a boon for console and PC players, because I envision them treating this game more like an Animal Crossing, with long spurts of obsessive play, than a Spiritfarer or Cozy Grove, with shorter play sessions each day to complete daily quests.Ultimately, it feels like Hello Kitty Island Adventure hasnt quite married its mobile-first design with its newfound foray to PC and consoles. Some controls feel clunky with a joystick, like the tool selection wheel, and the mechanics designed to keep you coming back feel shoehorned into what has potential to be a nearly perfect game for a handheld console.All concessions aside, though, this game sold me on Hello Kitty a franchise Ive always found cute but never really connected with the way others seemed to and I think parts of it, like the fishing mechanic and the minigames, would be an excellent entry to the genre of cozy games. In my first five hours or so of gameplay, I thought thatd be the angle of my review, that this game can train you up for the less forgiving titles in the genre. But as it is right now, it feels more like a really good Hello Kitty game than a really good life sim. Im excited to see how the game changes as updates emerge, and whether its mobile version starts to differ from the console version more over time and even though Im done writing this review, I certainly am not done galavanting around the island, giving gifts to my favorite Sanrio characters.Hello Kitty Island Adventurewill be released Jan. 30 on Nintendo Switch and Windows PC. (It had previously been released for iOS, Mac, and Apple TV on July 28, 2023.) The game was reviewed on Nintendo Switch using a pre-release download code provided by Sunblink.
