For some reason the media is not mentioning that the reason GTA6 is being delayed is they fired 40 staff over threats of unionization and now the rest of their staff are revolting

UZDOOM WILL BE RELEASED TOMORROW

Thinking about when I was working retail during the GTA IV launch and people were coming in asking for GTA Eye Vee.

All those games that delayed to q4 2026 are probably less than happy now

New blog post! Behind the scenes of some of the techniques involved in making our last PC demo 💫 gboisse.github.io/posts/this-i...

Windows 11 continues to be

On Monday 04.11.2025 I uninstalled Microsoft Copilot from one of my test PCs with Windows 11. After restarting that PC on that same day, it REINSTALLED ITSELF again. Listen Microsoft - when I uninstall something from my PC it means I do not want it. Trash tier OS with this stuff.

The Falconeer Revolution Remaster is now available on Steam, for Free for all existing owners. Watch for massive promotions this weekend and a Daily deal monday!. Check out the massive changes here store.steampowered.com/news/app/113... #indiedev #solodev #thefalconeer

I'm convinced that Xbox today would be in a different place if Kinect had never become a thing. This was the point when things started to go off the rails.

Very interesting video from Timothy Lottes here (Tim only does interesting things as far as I am concerned). But it shows some interesting points in regards to the whole GPU aging and suppot debate. I appreciate the honesty. www.youtube.com/watch?v=nJNo...

Really inspiring! Love the anecdotes on quirky architecture choices

New blog post: haukethiessen.com/why-you-shou... It's about best practices when adjusting material parameters for individual mesh components in Unreal. The information itself isn't new, but most tutorials covering this present the most inefficient way to do this. #gamedev #Unreal

Hi Engine/graphics friends. There are a few position open at Hello games over in Guildford. Jr - Graduate level (programmer) hellogames.org/jobs/junior-... Mid - Sr level (engine/graphics) hellogames.org/jobs/graphic... Note: I’m not affiliated with hello games just want to help boost openings

First DF Retro Super Show - definitely watch it if you can ! Covering a broad range of PS2 Games with awesome direct footage!

Some real gems in Schöneberg, you just need to know where to look.

Transmission Alert: TestUFO Version 3.0 is launching in T-4 days

Grand Theft Auto 4 with Path Tracing - what a time to be alive! How did one of the most notoriously "bad" PC ports get to this point in 2025? How did modder xoxor4d get RTX Remix to work with GTA 4? Does GTA 4 on PC deserve its frankly terrible reputation? Find out in this vid! youtu.be/vGxPdcMQfwg

Still amazing

Slick AF

So, today I'm announcing a new book project... and doing a call for papers: crpgbook.wordpress.com/2025/10/31/t... It's an anthology of video game history outside the usual US perspective - an accessible & exciting panorama of different realities - and I'll pay 300 USD per article. Please share :)

A little correction to this. Xbox just announced list of games which supports Advanced Shader Deliver on Xbox Ally X. Source (and complete list): news.xbox.com/en-us/2025/1...

Are we sure this isn’t a rendering test? A tasty rendering test at that..

This is such a critical time for Ukraine. Please help this campaign with a donation. As little as a Toonie ($2) can make a big difference. Today is "Orthodox Tuesday" so there is still time.

Oh no

I'm really enjoying the content on Timothy Lotte's new Youtube channel www.youtube.com/@neokineogfx

Once again - this is amazing Work!

People use the phrase anti-consumer quite often, but almost none come as close to GTA4 on PC in 2008. Lord almighty, if you sailed the seas for this one, I do not blame you at all.

I reached out to The White House and asked about its use of AI-generated Halo imagery. White House Deputy Press Secretary Kush Desai just responded to me, and it's insane. I've removed the paywall. Please share and subscribe if you can. www.patreon.com/posts/exclus...

My Kingdom for the ability to actually be an administrator with permissions on my own personal windows. Why can't I just choose a control panel option to be a god with full permission? Have you ever looked at the Security->Advanced-> Panel in Windows? It is the most horribly designed thing ever.

Did you see the @hardwareunboxed.bsky.social podcast? Very well said imho youtu.be/r3XLQMsQGGk?...

How much money do I have to pay Microsoft to stop them from trying to shove all their services down my throat with each windows update?

Still unopened in the plastic wrap

Beste automatische Ergänzung überhaupt

My Dying Light: The Beast video -- I break down PS5-equivalent settings, replicate them on PC to show notable performance gains vs Max settings, plus extended direct FPS comparison with PS5's unlocked Performance mode frame-rate. youtu.be/h62ZJMypLdY

New update for the @vulkan.org #Vulkan Hardware Capability Viewer released. This adds in support for several new extensions and adds support for for non-portability implementations on Apple platforms like KosmicKrisp thanks to LunarG. Download at: vulkan.gpuinfo.org/download.php

Given the amount of intrusive traversal stutter in the Halo footage, does that mean we will really only see maybe 2 studios in total actually get around Unreal Engine 5 traversal stutter this generation? I presume the Coalition and CDPR will be the only ones to climb that massive stutter summit.

With this combo of orders it’s like a @digitalfoundry.bsky.social special event! @pc98audi.bsky.social @dachsjaeger.bsky.social #bubsy #doom #pixelart

Here we go! The Outer Worlds 2 on PC. What CPU do you need to run the game well? What are the best optimised settings for a mid-to-low end GPU? What is up with the Hardware Ray Tracing? All that and more in this PC review video from Digital Foundry! youtu.be/bu89kJjXY34

My The Outer Worlds 2 PC Video is exporting right now, 19 minutes of PC optimised settings, critiques, etc. Should be live to backers soon enough, tomorrow for the general public.

🎄 Introducing our paper A Generalizable Light Transport 3D Embedding for Global Illumination lnkd.in/gQUMSAyV . 🙈 Just as Transformers learn long-range relationships between words or pixels, our new paper shows they can also learn how light interacts and bounces around a 3D scene.

Dude wtf, INSANE

Last night, a russian drone hit a house in the Kyiv region, killing a family. Among the victims were Antonina, her 6-month-old niece Adelina, and her 12-year-old niece Anastasia. Heartfelt condolences to the families and loved ones of the victims 🙏

So plugging in a PCI-E capture card into a motherboard causes windows to chug horribly. The mouse cursor and input reaction happens about once every 2 seconds. Anyone ever deal with an issue like this an on Ryzen board? I wanna imagine it is PCI-E power settings in the bios or windows power settings

This December I'll be teaching my 4-sessions long "History of Video Games: a tale of tech and game design" @d6learning.bsky.social course. It will cover gaming's history from a global perspective & across all platforms from a creative's POV. 🕹️ Find out more ⇢ www.d6learning.com/course/dec-g...

Apparently the Xbox App on PC does not per default show active download speed of something being downloaded? Anyone have an idea how to turn it on? I prefer seeing how much a service is utilising my connection.

As recommended by @dachsjaeger.bsky.social, dropping texture quality from Overkill to Ultra completely fixed the issue. Observing VRAM usage with everything else maxed out, the difference is astronomical. Overkill will eat up nearly 15GB VRAM, Ultra couldn't crack 10GB.

Honk Honk!

I wonder if "Epic" preset for Lumen and Virtual Shadow Maps should instead be replaced by Restir GI and Restir DI/Mega Lights. Lumen and VSM do not scale up well from a visual perspective for the performance spent - but having "Epic" be a different technique would make that cost more worth it.

Not many things bother me in our comments section, but this is irksome. I work a lot and make more videos than just optimised settings guides. The user must imagine that videos are made out of thin air? I am not going sacrafice my every weekend to satisfy the frankly inane AAA release schedule.
