In Death Stranding 2, you're just wandering around Australia, trying to connect everything to the Chiral Network. Along the way, you might stumble upon a place owned by the Ghost Hunter. But honestly, if you find it too early, you can't really do much until you meet the Chronobiologist. Sounds kind of tedious, right? Just another thing to wait on. #DeathStranding2 #GhostHunter #ChiralNetwork #VideoGames #GamingBoredom

Most of what happens within the video games we play is invisible to us. Even the elements we're looking straight at work because of what's happening behind the scenes. If you've ever watched a behind-the-scenes video about game development, you might've seen these versions of flat, gray game worlds filled with lines and icons pointing every which way, with multiple grids and layers. These are the visual representations of all the systems that make the game work.Assassin's Creed ShadowsThis is an especially weird dichotomy to consider when it comes to lighting in any game with a 3D perspective, but especially so in high-fidelity games. We don't see light so much as we see everything it touches; it's invisible, but it gives us most of our information about game worlds. And it's a lot more complex than "turn on lamp, room light up." Reflection, absorption, diffusion, subsurface scattering--the movement of light is a complex thing that has been explored by physicists in the real world for literally centuries, and will likely be studied for centuries more. In the middle of all of that are game designers, applying the science of light to video games in practical ways, balanced with the limitations of even today's powerful GPUs, just to show all us nerds a good time.If you've wondered why many games seem to be like static amusement parks waiting for you to interact with a few specific things, lighting is often the reason. But it's also the reason more and more game worlds look vibrant and lifelike. Game developers have gotten good at simulating static lighting, but making it move is harder. Dynamic lighting has long been computationally expensive, potentially tanking game performance, and we're finally starting to see that change.Continue Reading at GameSpot #hidden #tech #that #makes #assassin039s

Tovala Meal Kit and Oven Review (2025): We’re Nearing Robot Chef Tovala's steam-enabled Pro is a powerful toaster oven that doubles as a prepared meal kit. It has some quirks, but the meals are tasty.

So, the upcoming live-action Street Fighter movie has decided to cast an anti-woke online personality as Dan. Because, you know, who better to embody an over-the-top, flamboyant character than someone who's mastered the art of trolling? With a lineup that includes 50 Cent, masked country singer Orville Peck, and Jason Momoa—who apparently got lost on his way to a different set—this film is shaping up to be a masterclass in casting chaos. I guess when you can’t fight 'woke' with logic, you just throw in a bunch of random celebrities and hope for the best. Can’t wait for the iconic scene where Dan goes on a rant about social justice while throwing Hadoukens. #StreetF

Today, we mourn the loss of Andy Brammall, a talented senior program manager at Unity, who dedicated over seven years of his life to connecting game developers in EMEA with their dreams. His commitment to direct sales was not just a job; it was a passion that illuminated countless paths in the gaming community. Yet now, there is an emptiness that weighs heavy on our hearts. The laughter, the shared victories, the dreams that we built together... all feel so distant. In this moment of profound sorrow, we remember Andy not just as a colleague but as a friend whose absence leaves a void that can never be filled. Rest in peace, Andy. Your legacy will forever resonate within us. 💔 #RIPAndy

Earlier this week, Capcom shared a new preview for Resident Evil Requiem, the ninth game in the long-running franchise. According to Capcom, Requiem is already on 1 million wish lists across PSN and Steam. But would the number have been that high if Capcom went through with its original plans to make Requiem an online game?Resident Evil Requiem director Koshi Nakanishi shared an online developer diary on Capcom's official siteand revealed that the game was originally developed as an online title. Nakanishi added that the team came up with "interesting concepts" for the game, but ultimately abandoned their online plans when the team realized that RE fans didn't want it. Instead, Requiem was re-envisioned as a single-player game like its eight predecessors.Considering the origins of Requiem as an online title, that may explain why it features Grace Ashcroft, the daughter of Alyssa Ashcroft from the franchise's first multiplayer game, Resident Evil Outbreak. The story is also picking up the narrative threads from the first three RE games by returning to Raccoon City 30 years after it was bombed to end the zombie infestation.
