Diablo 4’s necromancer class fails the only test any game with a necromancer class needs to pass—which is whether or not you can command a deadly army of skeletons. Minions in Diablo 4 are weaker than the free spider pet everyone gets as part of season 3. They’re so bad that you can pick up every minion-based skill and do more damage by not even summoning them.

That could change in Diablo 4’s mid-season patch next Tuesday. The necromancer skeletons are all having their damage and health increased, and complementary skills, like Corpse Explosion, are getting buffed too. Blizzard said on a stream yesterday that these changes will be the first step toward bigger reworks to minions coming in season 4.

Season 3 underlined the problems with necromancers compared to the other…

There was an earlier time on the internet where it felt like there was a constant stream of little tchotchkes and gadgets to stumble upon and develop intense fixations over. I’m not sure what changed—learning firsthand how tight disposable income is probably had a part—but online trinkets don’t hit like they used to. Now, the only trinkets I see are what surfaces from the homogeneous soup of nerdy Etsy products and this one ad that inflicted me with the knowledge that there’s a niche market of dudes who want to buy beard straighteners. But today was different. Today, I found the Pixel Window. 

The Pixel Window is an in-development project from monoli, a Japanese material designer and art student-turned-engineering Ph.D. who blends those backgrounds to, as a…

I’ve chatted before about my love for chaotic co-op games to play with my pals, and I think I may have just found my next one to dive into.

Unrailed 2: Back on Track is just one of the many cool games that was shown off during our PC Gaming Show: Most Wanted edition. A sequel to the well-liked Unrailed—a game that, according to its Steam page, was also a hit with Stardew Valley’s creator ConcerenedApe. Unrailed 2: Back on Track has plenty more shenanigans along its procedurally-generated terrain.

Of course, that terrain needs a purpose, and what better way to utilise it than to raze it and create an increasingly intricate railroad? Different abilities and wagons will change the way you can transport materials and tackle boss battles as you chug along different biomes a…

EA’s big reveal of EA Sports FC took place last week, the first non-FIFA entry in its long-running football series, and aside from some dodgy box art seemed to go down quite well. There’s always criticism of a game on this scale, of course, but one big theme EA’s been pursuing for years is integrating the womens’ game into the experience, and with this game it’s introducing women players to its hugely popular Ultimate Team mode.

The decision has led to some pushback from players, based on the fact that female players’ stats will be competitive with equally rated male players’ (though UT also takes account of things like height). The objection boils down to whether female players could realistically compete with male players, with some fans calling for the game to split men and wom…

October 28 marked 20 years of the Call of Duty series, as part of which some of the key designers  have been talking about the greatest moments. The foundation for its overwhelming success, however, will always be original developer Infinity Ward, in particular the leap forward the studio made with the Modern Warfare series. It delivered an unforgettable and oft-controversial singleplayer campaign reflecting one view of contemporary geopolitics, alongside a best-in-class multiplayer experience that the wider series has followed ever since.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 contained what is still the most polarising level in any of the games. No Russian is an early campaign mission in which an attack is carried out at a fictional Russian airport (Zakhaev International), with civ…

If you are ever in California and want to have breakfast around some PC gaming history, Denny’s dedicated a corner booth to Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang at its San Jose location, where its founders came up with the idea for a “chip that would enable realistic 3D graphics on personal computers.” 

According to the company blog, the story goes that in 1993, the three founders of Nvidia— Huang, Curtis Priem, and Chris Malachowsy—got together at the San Jose Denny’s to discuss the creation of a 3D graphics chip.

Apparently, they ordered a Lumberjack Slam, Moons Over My Hammy, a Super Bird sandwich, and a ton of coffee. 

It’s not uncommon for places like these to be the birthplace of billion-dollar companies or just a place to recover from a night out. 24-…

Hot on the heels of reports that Nvidia could be working on a 16GB variant of the imminent RTX 4060 Ti comes news that the RTX 4070 could be getting a reworking, too.

This time, however, it’s not the VRAM allocation but the RTX 4070’s GPU die itself that’s rumoured to be the target of the changes. Long-time GPU soothsayer kopite7kimi (via Videocardz) says that Nvidia could release a new RTX 4070 variant based on the AD103 die.

That GPU, of course, is the chip you’ll find in the much more powerful RTX 4080 board. The RTX 4070 and RTX 4070 Ti currently use the smaller, cheaper AD104 GPU.

Currently, the RTX 4070 runs 5,888 CUDA cores. However, the AD103 chip has fully 10,240 cores. That means Nvidia could disable nearly half the cores, allowing for chips with multiple man…

Minisforum, a Hong Kong based manufacturer of compact PCs, is working on a new ultra compact yet powerful mini gaming PC with a chassis volume of just six liters. Squeezing a full size GPU into a chassis of that size is a difficult ask without overcoming some serious engineering challenges, yet this still unnamed little PC comes with full size discrete graphics card support.

How does one get around this physical challenge? It’s ridiculously simple. Minisforum will allow you to mount a graphics card on the top of the case. That’s right, this as-yet-unnamed Minisforum mini-PC concept has a PCIe 5.0 x16 slot proudly sitting atop the case. In the picture below, you can clearly see the PCIe x16 slot as well as a thin slot for what looks like a triple slot metal mounting bracket. It is …

DeathSprint 66 has made me see Mario Kart in a new way. The brief teaser shown at today’s Future Games Show (above) doesn’t contain any gameplay, but game director Andrew Willans showed me a short video of the sci-fi racing game in action at GDC this week. It’s a lot like Mario Kart—simple arcade racing controls, weapons, traps, maneuvers like slipstreaming and drifting—with one major exception being that I don’t remember any version of Mario Kart containing a gore system.

The Nintendo cart racing series has never embraced its true nature as a ferocious deathsport, but DeathSprint doesn’t sugar coat it, and it’s not hard to guess the inspiration: “It’s The Running Man as reimagined for a new generation,” said Willans. He means the Stephen King novel first of all—…

Alan Wake 2 is out today, and despite some trepidation about its daunting system requirements on PC (which fortunately appears to be misplaced), it’s going very well: Early reviews, for the most part, are positively glowing. (We’ll have our own review up soon.) With the new tale of the struggling author now out the door, Remedy has offered the world some insight into what it has in mind for future chapters.

The original Alan Wake had two DLC expansions, The Signal and The Writer, and that will also be the case for Alan Wake 2: As revealed in Remedy’s Alan Wake 2 FAQ, two paid expansions are planned, Night Springs and The Lake House, each of which will “tell new stories and offer exciting gameplay within Alan Wake 2.”

The first expansion, Night Springs is about “visions and d…

I thought the Katana X10 gaming PC was looking like a good deal last week, but now Newegg has cut the price of this RTX 3060 Ti rig down to under $950 it’s looking even better.

It is, admittedly, last-gen in terms of the raw hardware across the board, but it’s a machine that will deliver excellent 1440p gaming frame rates for less than the price of some RTX 3050-based systems. And seriously, screw that card.

The most important thing for any PC gamer is the performance of that RTX 3060 Ti graphics card. This was one of the best cards to come out of the entire Ampere range—it’s not a slightly faster RTX 3060, it uses an entirely different GPU. The GA104 is the same chip the RTX 3070 sports, but with a few shaders chopped out to create this more affordable, but still impr…
