These devs are making an FPS game where you build and operate giant walkers across procedurally generated dunes.
- An industrial alternate history of 1910
- Build your walker from the ground up
- Huge PvPvE dune battles
It's called SAND: Raiders of Sophie. Would you play this?
@lotfgame I know this is an alpha however one critique I have is after he opens the door he moves his weapon too fast which makes it seem weightless. I noticed this in the first game and it throws me off a lot. I know it’s a knit-pick but still just something I noticed.
A female esports player and her boyfriend who helped her cheat in a tournament by playing for her instead have been sentenced to 6 months in prison
Thai courts said their actions harmed both the integrity of esports and the country’s reputation
@Phil1UpCollects@NikTek@BT_default It would also mean that developers (not all) will spend less time/effort on graphical settings cause DLSS5 will do the rest
@NikTek@BT_default AAA modern games are about to get even worse. I see so many defending this saying "well you can turn it off" yeah but the fact it's included mean Nvidia will charge you for something majority don't want how will that effect ram, PC and console prices that have it in it?
Developers at Ubisoft and Capcom found out about DLSS 5 the day that it was unveiled, same time as the public.
a Ubisoft developer said “We found out at the same time as the public”
Developers at Capcom also told Insider Gaming that the announcement and the studio's involvement were shocking because Capcom has historically been very “anti-AI” with projects such as Resident Evil Requiem.
The real question is, who exactly in the game studio partners knew about DLSS 5 before making the decision to let Nvidia implement it.
Were there any game artists consulted before giving this the green light?
Obviously something doesn't add up here, I feel like the higher-ups of these gaming companies didn't expect DLSS 5 to change their games to that degree and the backlash that would happen, hence why they decided to go for it.
A Japanese agency has trademarked a new type of Vtuber called an "Xtuber"
It refers to creators who don’t just use a virtual avatar, but also stream or appear in real-life content
@NikTek Ah so, high graphic settings will look unfinished now with little difference in med/low settings just for DLSS5 to make it look "good" that almost no one can use
Jensen Huang has responded to the comments calling DLSS 5 AI slop:
"First of all, they're completely wrong. The reason for that is because, as I have explained very carefully, DLSS 5 fuses controllability of the geometry and textures and everything about the game with generative AI. It’s not post-processing, it’s not post-processing at the frame level, it’s generative control at the geometry level."
He has also added:
"This is very different than generative AI; it’s content-control generative AI. That’s why we call it neural rendering"
What are your thoughts on this?
WHY DID YOU BUY THAT FUCKING UNOPTIMIZED TREE ASSET AND THEN BUILD A FUCKING FOREST WITH IT NO WONDER MY PC JUST TURNED INTO A FUCKING HURRICANE WARNING
I DONT WANT DLSS 5 I WANT TO BE ABLE TO BUY COMPUTER PARTS FOR A REASONABLE AMOUNT AND I WANT THE DEVS USING UE5 TO FUCKING OPTIMIZE IT BEFORE PUBLISHING FOR PC YOU FUCKS
Gaming PCs could become unaffordable by 2028.
Nvidia's AI boom is driving up RAM, VRAM, and component costs so much that entry-level rigs may start at $2000 or more, pricing out average gamers and ending the era of budget builds.
As Gartner reports, surging memory costs are already choking the market.
The firm predicts that skyrocketing DRAM and NAND flash prices will lead to a significant reduction in global PC and smartphone shipments throughout 2026.

Fable II running on PC through the Xenia Xbox 360 emulator in 4K at 60 FPS.
Seeing it like this just makes one thing obvious: Microsoft could have released a remastered Fable trilogy while fans wait for the new Fable. Such a missed opportunity. :/
Echoes of Aincrad might genuinely be the very FIRST SAO game I consider playing...
I wasn't the biggest fan of Elden Ring, but maybe it's because I didn't understand the story too well, I wished it was a little easier to understand-
BUT THIS HAS THAT AND MORE.. I know people's thoughts on the show of SAO are very mixed, but that show was what introduced me to anime and without anime I don't think I'd have ever found out about VTubing..
That said, I hold SAO very close to my heart and I'm finally so happy that there's finally a game that looks interesting to me! 🥹🩷
Are any of you guys excited too? 👀
