Multiple issues were connecting the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 to the two laptops he used for testing — the ASUS Zenbook 14 OLED and AORUS 17X. The former notebook is not a performance option, and the latter is for gaming. The Razer Core X Chroma enclosure is a Thunderbolt 3 compatible eGPU case, whereas the NVIDIA RTX 4090 works well with Thunderbolt 4. Jarrod used the Razer Core X Chroma eGPU enclosure for the RTX 4090, but the case could not adequately fit the newest GPU from NVIDIA, so he had to alter one of the slots on the enclosure to suit the graphics card....

Rear Housing of the Pixel 6a Looks Identical to the More Expensive Flagships That Google Launched Last Year The retail box image was uploaded by Techxine, with the Pixel 6a bearing a similar design to the more premium Pixel 6. The rear visor shows a dual-camera setup, which is what we have reported about before in previously leaked renders. However, while this bit of evidence indicates that Google is prepping to launch its first mid-range smartphone with its custom Tensor chip, WinFuture pointed out some blemishes in the image that may compromise the authenticity of the leak....

Sadly, a release date is also missing but you can check out the announcement teaser below.

Polyphony Digital’s racing game sold 163% more than in the previous week when it was #7th, while Guerrilla’s open world action RPG surged by an impressive 307%. The same actually applies to other first-party PlayStation 5 exclusives. Insomniac’s launch title Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales ranked 15th with a 302% sales spike over the previous week, though the most impressive week-over-week increase was registered by Insomniac’s most recent release, Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart, which sold 709% more....

Here’s a bit more detail about the new map… Emerald Plains is part of Rainbow Six Siege Year 7 Season 1, entitled “Demon Veil,” which also includes the new defender, Azami. Here’s some more information on her. Experience the rolling hills of Northern Ireland in the Emerald Plains country club and private ranch. The two floors on this map are very distinct—with a modern bottom floor contrasting against the classic style of the manor’s upper floor—in order to emphasize clear call outs and orientation landmarks....

First off, an update on the current situation surrounding the PC versions of Dark Souls, Dark Souls II, and Dark Souls III. As of the writing of this article, Dark Souls’ PC servers have remained offline to fix the exploit. For those in need of a refresher, this exploit allows players to introduce malicious code into the user’s PC through the game’s Invaders feature. One of the people behind the discovery of the vulnerability told VGC that they had made Bandai Namco aware of the issue over a month earlier....

The project, which is currently in the works by Williammutazion, will attempt to recreate the game originally released on the SEGA Dreamcast console as a PSX title. While there is clearly a lot of work left to be done, the project definitely seems to be on the right track. As already mentioned, Resident Evil Code Veronica was originally released on the Dreamcast before getting ported to other consoles. Given how Capcom has been remaking classic entries in the series, it isn’t impossible that a Resident Evil Code Veronica remake will eventually be made, although not in the near future, considering Capcom is apparently working on a Resident Evil 4 Remake that will be revealed soon....

The new release date is set for February 23rd, 2023. The developers also confirmed the pricing to be set at $29.99. Due to the scope of our new game Sons Of The Forest, it has been hard to pinpoint an exact release date, and today we have to delay one last time. Giving us time to complete the polish we feel is needed, we will release Feb 23, 2023, priced at $29....

Despite being in the works by a Western team, Soulstice feels decisively Japanese, right from the world and characters, which have been both inspired by two of the best manga and anime shows of all times, Kentaro Miura’s Berserk and Norihiro Yagi’s Claymore. The Holy Kingdom of Keidas is as dark as any of the kingdoms Guts visits after the rebirth of the Hawk of Darkness, and the Wraiths that have invaded it and possess the bodies of innocent victims are very reminiscent of the Yoma Clare and her companions have to kill to protect the world....

The Falcon Heavy is America’s largest rocket in terms of total thrust generated, and the rocket aims to primarily serve the needs of the U....

Interestingly, as stated by the Xbox head, the Xbox Series S was the main reason for the higher-than-ever Xbox console player growth in the country this generation with the majority of hardware sales coming from first-time Xbox owners – an interesting tidbit for sure and quite impressive....

Shortly after the game’s release on Steam, the first mods for the hit title dropped, including an RTGI ReShade preset and a PC modding tools modification, and we now have a couple of suit mods that will please fans of the franchise. The first mod that deserves to be covered is the Symbiote black suit. This suit mod replaces the Advanced Suit’s textures to resemble Symbiote Black Suit that we might see in Marvel’s upcoming Spider-Man 2....

As you might remember, State of Decay 3 was formally announced to be in development for Xbox Series S|X and PC during the virtual Xbox Games Showcase event that took place in July 2020. At the time, Undead Labs said the game was still early in pre-production. Another team, and this one’s probably not that big of a surprise for people who’ve watched me play, but I was a big State of Decay 2 player, so Undead Labs....
