PlayStation will be taking its new Firewalk-developed live services game “Concord” offline this Friday and issuing refunds to players just two weeks after its Aug. 23 launch. The team-based first-person shooter game is reported to have drawn a historically small audience during its initial availability across PlayStation 5 and PC, with third-party PC-based gaming data website SteamDB showing 30 current in-game players at the time of publication on Tuesday. At the peak in its short history, “Concord” had 697 concurrent players, drastically low for a PlayStation new release, and ranked toward the bottom of PlayStation’s weekly sales charts. In “Concord,”...

Geez, is there some requirement an OP must repost / reply in under an hour? Some of us actually have lives!! And I needed to look at the computer again to get info. for replies, and it was, ya' know, not right at my fingertips. Anyway, here goes AGAIN: I've inherited a huge gaming computer from my brother. It seems to turn on ok, except that there is no video from either the Motherboard or the dedicated graphics card. Once the computer is on, the CPU gets warm, the RAM gets warm, the dedicated graphics card gets warm, controls for...

One of the developers behind an upcoming Black Panther game has come under fire after a clip resurfaced in which they admitted that they previously built a team that excluded white people to create a “safe environment” for them to create a prior game. Dani Lalonders is an associate narrative designer at Cliffhanger Games who is currently working on a game based off the Black Panther Marvel film series. Formerly, they worked on a game called ValiDate, “a romantic visual novel about 13 adults in Jercy City navigating new relationships and the harsh realities that come alongside them.” It was...

Gaming companies are coordinating with the FBI and Department of Homeland Security to root out so-called domestic violent extremist content, according to a new government report. Noting that mechanisms have been established with social media companies to police extremism, the report recommends that the national security agencies establish new and similar processes with the vast gaming industry. The exact nature of the cooperation between federal agencies and video game companies, which has not been previously reported, is detailed in a new Government Accountability Office report. The report draws on interviews conducted with five gaming and social media companies including Roblox,...

We recommend the best PC builds for every price point. If you want a computer that meets your exact needs and budget, you need to put it together yourself. When you build a gaming PC, you get total control of the parts, choosing the exact make and model of motherboard, a case with the look you like and even the layout of RGB (or non-RGB fans). You could save time by purchasing one of the best pre-built gaming PCs, but you'll give up control and spend more. By constructing your own PC from components, you will likely save hundreds dollars...

Long story short, then, we love Flight Simulator. There’s just one problem, though, and it’s a fairly big one. What happens when you run out of ideas? As a sandbox, the game is great. Choose where to start, choose where to end, and enjoy the flight. But not everybody is comfortable with setting their own parameters like that in a game. Some people play games for the satisfaction of completing challenges set for them. In other words, some players like being told what to do and seeing if they can successfully do it. The 2020 release has some of this...

I know a lot of you are fans of Bethesda and their games which more often than not stick the landing very well. Today they revealed Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, their upcoming open-world game. Looks like it's going to be pretty good, better than last year's Indiana Jones movie that's for sure. Looks AMAZING.

A senior Ubisoft official suggested that gamers need to get comfortable not owning their games. The executive's perspective on the subject of game ownership, or lack thereof, arrived amid his company's latest digital push that saw Ubisoft make big changes to its subscription service. Philippe Tremblay, Ubisoft's director of subscription, labeled the latest changes as the company's attempt to "evolve." In a recent interview with GamesIndustry.biz, the executive explained that splitting the subscription offering into two will allow the publisher to better cater to its ever-diversifying customer base, which now includes a substantial number of people who are primarily interested...

"You can't fight City Hall," we used to say, assuming we were living in a movie from the 1930s. Kidding aside, the old expression was for venting frustration at the odds of a lone citizen going up against bureaucrats who care more about filling out the proper forms than serving their communities. But what happens when City Hall goes up against Wall Street? Or in today's case, when Communist Chinese control freaks displease the millions of investors who participate in global stock markets? It's game over, man — game over! Feng Shixin isn't a name I'd ever heard before today,...

British police are investigating the alleged gang rape of a girl’s avatar in a virtual reality game, in what is believed to be the first probe of its kind involving the metaverse. The alleged victim, identified only as a girl under 16, was wearing a virtual reality headset in an immersive game when her avatar, an animated representation of her, was raped by those of several men, the Daily Mail first reported. Although the accuser did not sustain any physical injuries, she may have suffered trauma similar to someone who’d been raped in real life, police sources told the outlet....

TikToker Isabella Veronica Hardy couldn’t wait to show her followers the stylish makeover she’d given her husband’s gaming system — but wound up angering gamers everywhere when it was revealed she’d defaced a limited-edition PS4 console worth hundreds of dollars used. “Wrapping my husband’s ugly PS4 in white to match my white aesthetic room,” Hardy wrote in the beginning of the video, narrating in a voiceover. She lamented that the Playstation, which she described as an “ugly, blue thing,” has been bothering her for months. So, eight months pregnant and “nesting,” she decided to cover the offending article with contact...

TALLAHASSEE — Arguing that the outcome of the case could represent a “blueprint for expanding gaming outside of Indian lands,” owners of two Florida pari-mutuels plan to ask the U.S. Supreme Court to weigh in on whether a multibillion-dollar deal giving the Seminole Tribe control of sports betting throughout the state violates federal law. A Washington, D.C.-based appeals court last week refused to reconsider a ruling that found the 2021 agreement did not violate the federal Indian Gaming Regulatory Act, which regulates gambling on tribal lands. But a motion filed Friday by owners of Magic City Casino in Miami-Dade County...

I recently bought Starfield, a game put out by the creators of Skyrim and Fallout. While it is not quite as engaging as Fallout, it seems pretty good. I am also delighted to let you know that it follows in an old Bethesda tradition: It is a buggy mess. Word of advice: SAVE OFTEN. When your computer reboots you can resum,e from there.

Baldur's Gate III evelopers Larian got its livestream banned on TikTok after it revealed a spicy scene with a bear. Per IGN, the scene in question, which is still available to view on Twitch, sees the player as Astarion share a tender moment with a bear. The bear in question is actually a Druid, Halsin, taking Wildshape bear form after the two agree to have sex. The scene is partly played for laughs, according to Larian, as evidenced by the shot of a squirrel witnessing the moment and dropping its acorn. "Every single person who's seen it is like, 'oh...

Right-wingers are accusing the war game of going “woke.”Here at Them, we like to poke fun at the increasingly bonkers boycotts over “woke” capitalism. But it’s starting to get out of hand. How can you engage people who earnestly believe the soyboy agenda has now infected Call of Duty? Yes, your college roommate’s favorite thing to do instead of washing dishes made headlines last week, following a show of allyship from its publisher, Activision Blizzard. It started when popular Twitch streamer Puckett shared a video on June 7 of anti-LGBTQ+ extremists assaulting counterprotestors outside a school board meeting in Glendale,...

An ex-cybercriminal has warned of the dangers children face online after getting tangled up in scams himself at the age of 12. The man in his 20s, referred to only as 'Harry', has expressed regrets over previous offences, having tricked computer gamers out of thousands during his younger years. These harmful scams took off at a time when Harry was keen to make pocket money, with no option to get a job of his own. But with children now increasingly fixated on the virtual world, he says that protections are vital to ensure they are sheltered from dark practices. 'As...
