Over the years, we have seen plenty of cool modding projects that change the PlayStation 5 form factor to deliver true portability, among other things. Such projects haven't yet been attempted for the PlayStation 5 Pro, but one brave gamer took advantage of a tech deal of a lifetime to create what we could call the Cardboard Box edition, which is still running strong one year after purchase, ready for the upcoming Grand Theft Auto VI. "I run a pawn shop and had a customer bring in a completely deshelled PS5 Pro. He took all the vital electronics out and […]

Having begun its development as an MMO, Crimson Desert still retains some remnants of its origins despite being a single-player experience. Earlier this year, Pearl Abyss confirmed the studio was open to the possibility of a multiplayer mode, but as usually happens, the community is set to introduce co-op multiplayer before the developer does officially, much like it did with CAPCOM's Dragon's Dogma 2, with which Crimson Desert shares a lot in terms of gameplay. "I've been working on a co-op mod for Crimson Desert, and today I got to test it for the first time with a friend over […]

Tales of Symphonia is widely considered one of the best entries in Bandai Namco's Tales series. Originally released in 2003 (late 2004 in the West) as a GameCube exclusive, the first 3D entry in the series went on to receive multiple ports, which added more content but never truly attempted to update the gameplay, especially the combat system, which quickly started feeling dated as Bandai Namco updated it in subsequent entries in the series such as Tales of the Abyss (which I feel is among the entries in the series Bandai Namco should remaster next) and Tales of Vesperia. Following […]

Star Wars fans are eating very well lately, at least when it comes to videogames. BitReactor's XCOM-inspired Zero Company and Fuse's racing game Galactic Racer both turned out to be solid and fun games, with Wccftech reviewer Chris Wray praising them in his reviews: Star Wars Zero Company is a strong real-time tactics title, set in the Star Wars universe. With deep tactical combat, a base system giving you upgradable elements and allowing you to interact with your team, there's a reasonable amount to see in what is a focused entry and, arguably, one of the better Star Wars titles […]

CAPCOM is laying the groundwork for its game engine to be co-developed alongside AI. At its CAPCOM Open Conference RE:2026, a technology event held on October 2, programmer Satoshi Ishida detailed REX, a project to evolve RE Engine for the next generation, with the main goal to turn it into a game engine for the AI generation. According to Ishida, the REX project has unified the entire system under the rules of the world's most common programming language. That makes the engine easier for human developers to work with and, crucially, easier for AI to read. With a single, consistent […]

Most mechanical keyboards tend to follow the same design pattern. Aluminum frames, plastic cases, RGB lighting, and compact layouts are what you see most often, so finding a keyboard with a genuinely different visual character has become quite difficult. The XVX MU68 takes a totally different route with its solid walnut enclosure. Rather than looking like a conventional gaming peripheral, it brings a distinguished design that makes it stand out among the 60-65% form-factor keyboards. At the same time, its 68-key layout keeps the footprint compact while retaining the arrow keys, making it practical for both work and everyday use. […]

Elon Musk is going above and beyond President Trump's recent directives to rename artificial intelligence (AI) as super intelligence (SI) by expressing a willingness to change the name of SpaceX's AI-focused unit to SpaceXSI. Meanwhile, as the sheer scale of Terafab becomes apparent, Elon Musk has conceded that SpaceX and Tesla are talking with TSMC to explore a more synergistic approach on the mega project. Elon Musk mulls a rebrand for his AI-focused behemoth to SpaceXSI, as the sheer scale of Terafab - a joint venture between SpaceX and Tesla - is now on the cusp of roping in TSMC […]

Not the first ever scam through Amazon, but definitely a rare one where the user gets a different product both times. Ryzen 7 9850X3D Sold and Shipped by Amazon Ends up With Intel Core i3 Processor; User Orders Another 9850X3D, But Discovers Core i3 Processor Again A few days ago, the Redditor u/BitProfessional3792 reported ordering the most powerful gaming processor from Amazon.

A new free and open-source utility called SCSKiller, short for Shader Compilation Stutter Killer, is taking direct aim at one of the most persistent problems affecting modern PC games: shader/Pipeline State Object (PSO) compilation stutter. Developed by BlueHeisenberg, SCSKiller essentially attempts to do what many PC games still fail to do themselves properly. The program scans the shaders shipped with a game, determines the pipelines it is likely to build, and compiles them into the GPU driver's shader cache before the game is launched. In theory, this means the driver doesn't have to stop and compile those pipelines the first […]

Anthropic is a cult around Dario Amodei, and their deity is the Claude model, or so allege some of the AI lab's fiercest critics. It is hardly a surprise, therefore, that no one bat an eyelid when recent anecdotes detailed how Anthropic's co-founder clashed with the Pope on the subject of AI's consciousness. Even so, OpenAI's Sam Altman, who almost never squanders an opportunity to denigrate his opponents, quickly donned his sanctimonious attire earlier today, and issued a verbal rejoinder brimming with all of the righteous fury of a neophyte zealot, conveniently overlooking a number of instances where he has […]

The new WH-1000XM6 might have succeeded the WH-1000XM5 as Sony’s flagship wireless headphones, but that $458 price on Amazon will only attract a select few audiophiles, and those are a rarity.
