This incredible pixel art has taken one man over 8,000 hours to animate and is the gif that keeps on giving-

This project blew me away the moment I came across it, and the further I went down this rabbit hole, the more astounded I became. Floor796 is an ever-expanding animation scene that has been created by one guy… yup, just one guy. It shows the life of one floor on a huge space station and is absolutely packed with references from varied media forms (including videogames, which we will get …

Tribes 3- Rivals hits early access next week promising ‘rebirth’ for the exquisite fusion of skiing fast with a flag and explosive frisbees-

If you want to know what I think of Tribes, I reviewed the last entry in the series (2012’s free-to-play Tribes: Ascend) for Eurogamer and it’s one of the few games I’ve ever given a 10. God that game was good, though, sadly, it didn’t quite stick the landing with enough players to survive: Ascend went into that good night in 2016, since when there’s been a large Tribes-shaped gap in my …

Tribes 3 is holding its first-ever tournament later this month, and everyone is invited-

The venerable online shooter Tribes made a surprise comeback in late 2023 as Tribes 3: Rivals, and with a launch set to happen later this year developer Prophecy Games has announced the first Rival Rumble tournament, an open-to-all competition that’s set to get underway on January 27.

The tournament could be a big one: Entry is free, there’s no cap on the number of signups, everyone who j…

Ultrakill dev says it’s fine to pirate his game if you don’t have money to spare- ‘Culture shouldn’t exist only for those who can afford it’-

I think we can all agree that piracy is basically an inevitability for any piece of software. For years now, we’ve been living in an era where Denuvo gets cracked so quickly for new games that it’s not even worth running a headline about it. But while piracy might be inevitable, the question remains: is it morally acceptable? I mean, sure—according to Ultrakill dev Arsi “Hakita” Pa…

With yet another senior departure, it seems like just about all of Halo’s leadership has changed over in the last 2 years-

A Microsoft spokesperson confirmed to PC Gamer that Halo’s franchise director, Frank O’Connor, has left Microsoft, telling us, “We thank Frank for his numerous contributions to the Halo franchise and wish him well going forward.” O’Connor’s departure was first reported over the weekend by Windows Central, who noticed that his LinkedIn had been updated to show him leaving Microsoft for a new rol…

I want this to be the most important breakthrough for computing, fusion, and batteries… but my hopes may have already been dashed-

“For the first time in the world, we succeeded in synthesizing the room-temperature superconductor.” 

That’s the opening line of a paper submitted by researchers at the Quantum Energy Research Centre, Inc. and Korea University—a paper which could become a seriously big deal, if the findings are ratified. Thing is, the scientific community isn’t so sure they will be.

Super…

Warhammer goes back to its original fantasy setting in Warhammer- The Old World this month-

To my mind, the aesthetic of Games Workshop’s original tabletop wargame Warhammer Fantasy Battle can be summed best by a Monty Python quote. It’s the bit in Holy Grail where a commoner says he can tell Arthur must be a king because “he hasn’t got shit all over him.”

Though the grubby fantasy of old school Warhammer ended to make way for the shinier skirmish wargame Age of Sigmar, it still…

Well, that didn’t take long- FSR 3 mod released that replaces DLSS 3 frame gen in any game-

Less than a week ago, AMD released the full source code for its FSR 3 generation technology, and one of the first mods to utilise it has been released. This one is a bit special, though, as it can be used to replace DLSS 3 Frame Generation in any game that uses Nvidia’s system. It’s not a perfect conversion but it does allow all GeForce RTX owners, not just those with RTX 40-series GPUs, to enj…

Xbox is hiking Game Pass prices but sparing PC Game Pass, at least for now-

Bad news, console pals: Microsoft is increasing its Xbox Game Pass and Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription prices next month. Things are brighter here on the PC:  PC Game Pass pricing will stay locked in place at $9.99 (£7.99). And Game Pass isn’t the only thing Microsoft’s charging more for: the price of the Series X console is going up in most countries where it’s for sale, though…
