According to a newly posted job ad, FireSprite is also working on a “AAA narrative driven horror-adventure game in Unreal 5.” Further perusing of FireSprite’s job ads reveals their “AAA multiplayer action title” (which many suspect is Twisted Metal) will also be tapping Unreal Engine 5, so it seems like that will probably be the standard engine for the studio going forward. While FireSprite making a horror game may seem a little out of left field, it’s actually fairly comfortably within their wheelhouse....

Mike Ybarra, president of Blizzard Entertainment, said in a statement: Seth Sivak, CEO of Proletariat, explained the decision to step away from Spellbreak: Spellbreak caught our attention when it launched in September 2020. Reviewer Rosh Kelly gave it a 9 out of 10. The combat is so well balanced, so innovate for the genre, and offers such a variety of depth and fun that it is impossible not to recommend the title to everyone looking for some short matches of thrill-seeking fun....

Perhaps more importantly, GSC Game World has also provided an updated on the state of the STALKER 2 development team following Russia’s brutal invasion of Ukraine.

That said, not everyone on the team was able or willing to leave their homes....

Space Exploration Technologies Corporation’s (SpaceX) Starlink satellite internet service is continuing to see strong support from members of the public and government officials. Starlink is currently embroiled in a years long tussle at the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), where it and some other satellite internet providers are fighting against efforts to further open up the 12GHz spectrum for use by fifth generation (5G) terrestrial services. Starlink uses the spectrum to receive data from its satellites, and the SpaceX subsidiary recently asked its customers to appeal to their lawmakers to argue the merits of keeping the space as it is for satellite use....

Speaking on their Twitter profile, well-known Capcom insider Dusk Golem revealed that the upcoming fighting game will use the RE Engine, as will any major game for the next few years. — AestheticGamer aka Dusk Golem (@AestheticGamer1) February 21, 2022 Street Fighter V used the Unreal Engine 4, as many other modern fighting games do, so it will be very interesting to see how the RE Engine will shape Street Fighter 6, if the game will indeed use the engine as the insider suggests....

In addition, read and write IOPS is at 650,000 and 700,000. According to Crucial, the endurance of this M.2 NVMe SSD is 800TBW (terabytes written). Going by the math, you will have to fill up this drive completely, then delete it 200 times before it wears out, and that will take years, and by then, you would already have upgraded to the latest and greatest NVMe drive. Since it uses a standard layout, this Crucial SSD is compatible with any desktop or laptop computer with a vacant M....

What’s this botting problem? Well, the shortest, most effective answer is that its accounts are controlled by AI with aimbot and other hacks available to invade Valve’s official servers for the game. For the record, players can definitely use community servers, but the official servers being this bad isn’t something that can be ignored. Team Fortress2’s botting problem has been going on for a couple of years now, and only last month, Valve said something, which you can see below....

A part of the stake purchased would be grabbed directly from the Guillemot family, which currently holds 15% of Ubisoft. Reuters says that Tencent representatives flew to France in May to meet the Guillemots, offering them a non-binding offer describing the investment’s basic terms and conditions. The pricing is extremely attractive for the Guillemots, offering roughly €100 per stake with a premium of 127% over the average €44 Ubisoft stock traded in the last few months....

Tesla is finally making a big splash in the world of autonomous driving by opening up the Full Self-Driving (FSD) capability of its Autopilot system to everyone in North America. With this move, however, comes a rapacious demand for chips, one that Tesla is now attempting to meet by not only tapping TSMC but also establishing its own chip-focused joint venture (JV) in China. The Chinese publication IJiWei reported a few days back that Tesla has established a JV with the Swiss automotive semiconductor company, Annex....

Albert Einstein famously said that the definition of insanity was to do “the same thing over and over and expecting different results.” Well, the ex-CEO of the now-bankrupt FTX exchange, Sam Bankman-Fried (SBF), believes that resorting back to Ponzinomics – an operational model inspired by the mechanics of a Ponzi scheme – remains a viable way forward for the defunct crypto exchange. You have to be particularly tone-deaf to double down on the very thing that created the original mess....

We already knew that Starfield will be exclusive to Xbox and PC, and although it hasn’t been officially confirmed just yet, it appears that the next entry in The Elder Scrolls series will follow the same route. In the freshly-filed FTC complaint to block Microsoft’s Activision-Blizzard transaction, the commission has now also said that The Elder Scrolls VI will be exclusive to Xbox and PC, suggesting that Microsoft is playing a dirty game when it comes to withholding franchises from rival consoles....

The Lord of the Rings: Gollum was announced in 2019 by Daedalic Entertainment. Ever since then, information regarding the game has been relatively scarce. We saw a cool trailer pop up during last year’s Game Awards but not much else. The game has been revealed to be a story-driven action-adventure game in which players take on the role of Gollum to win back his precious ring. The Lord of the Rings: Gollum promises to expand the Tolkien universe in some interesting rather ways (it takes place during the largely-unexplored period between The Hobbit and LOTR) and features some promising player-choice mechanics, as your “Gollum” and “Smeagol” sides battle against each other....

Earlier this year, Rockstar released the “Definitive Edition” of its classic Grand Theft Auto entries.

Shares of the Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) slumped last in Taiwan and in the U.S. after its chief executive officer, Dr. C.C. Wei shared a video with employees that encouraged workers to take vacations. The stock then recovered soon afterward but closed down lower as the media criticized the executive’s message. However, analysts called the media’s reaction a bit too much, yet stressed that in the current tough environment that the world’s largest company is operating in, messaging to shareholders needs to be concise and address their concerns....
