Someone managed to stream and upload videos of the upcoming Battlefield closed beta. The game has a lot of moves and features, including impressive destruction — it's not Bad Company 2 level of chaos, but clearly better than BF2042 and even superior to Battlefield V.

Split Fiction XBox makes me curious: did someone at XBox just figured out that they need marketing?
A huge campaign for Avowed, custom XBox for soulful new games. It all looks exceptionally cool and may really affect the audience.

Bad news, everyone: according to multiple sources, AMD is not going to keep the original MSRP. Instead, since the original stock is already almost sold out, they are planning to push it from $599 to $700+ in a few days.
It will work in a somewhat sketchy way: cheap cards will exist on paper, but will be all sold out. Ones that will be available will be priced at $700-1000.

It seems that Meta tries to run out of candidates on key markets by banning all previously fired people in their blacklist.

Retailers report that 9070 XT cards are arriving at stores and that they have QUITE SOME!
Just for comparison — in many cases with RTX 50, NVIDIA was only able to deliver something like this for the whole network in NA. This one is from a single store. Same across NA, Europe, and UK — all major networks reported that they have hundreds and thousands of cards.

Ballistic Moon (the studio behind Until Dawn 2024 remaster) is now an empty shell — everyone was fired, according to Insider Gaming report.
The remaster was criticized for its poor performance and bad art direction, compared to the original game. Sales were mediocre at best. Eventually, the game got 80% positive reviews on Steam, but there are only 1700 reviews (multiply it by x30-35 to estimate sales).

And a separate review of FSR 4: it's better than DLSS 3 and any XeSS, but can't compete with DLSS 4 new model yet.

AI will steal your jobs, and it will do crap out of it. But fun fact: half of those papers were before AI boom, which means, AI has nothing to do with it, it was just a poor reading skills of some real meaty humans.

According to the initial reports, Split Fiction is the most successful “single player” game release for Electronic Arts ever (IDK why media call a co-op like that). It's also doing great on Steam, despite a few years ago the company wasn't sure if getting back there makes sense.
It's also curious that Split Fiction is the first EA game since Mass Effect 3, that landed on 90+ on Metacritic.

The most unpleasant scam indie game developers can face:
Random people were able to literally republish a game from Steam to consoles without any consent from the original studio. And they are doing such things for years.
It's even worse for browser games on ItchIO — they are getting wrapped in WebView and sold as games on all platforms by dozens of similar companies.

This thing in CS2 is 100K+ polygons. More, than Nathan Drake in Uncharted 4 (which was 90K). This model is present on the new Cache map.
This leaves me doubting if they will be able to release Half-Life 3 in a reasonable and optimized condition.

Yay, 9070 XT is doing great: Ray Tracing is still on NVIDIA side (despite huge improvements from AMD), but the general performance is on par with 5070 Ti!

And so are games: something is wrong with the look of the majority of them! When lighting is generic and perfect, it's lifeless, it lacks the artistic intent.
