With the start of the game’s third season this week, Killer Instinct will finally roll out on the Windows 10 store. The rebooted fighter has been an Xbox One staple since launch, and while apparently it’s pretty good, the best thing about it is it’s free. The only potential snag is whether your PC can run it or not,...
Blizzard says it will remove an “over-the-shoulder” victory pose by the Overwatch hero Tracer, following a complaint on the Battle.net forums that it turns the time-bending teleporter into “another bland female sex symbol.” “We aren’t looking at a Widowmaker pose here, this isn’t a character who is in part defined by flaunting her sexuality. This...
I was tremendously disappointed when The Chinese Room announced that Everybody’s Gone to the Rapture, which came out last August, would be exclusive to the PlayStation 4. Say what you will about “walking simulators,” but I thought Dear Esther was a powerful piece of work, and I was looking forward to seeing what the studio...
Like the platform-specific Apple App Store or Steam, the Oculus Rift has its own digital storefront, which Oculus says is “designed to prove the best VR experience and content.” Even so, developers are perfectly free to sell their stuff elsewhere, if they prefer, and it won’t cost them any extra to do it.

“Taking someone’s life,” the sword-slinging death merchant Michonne intones at the beginning of the new trailer for The Walking Dead: Michonne, as she stabs one man in the back, another in the eye, and spikes the hand of a third into a table. “That changes you forever.” As a poetic reflection on the dirty business...
Watch Dogs 2 was confirmed in February to no great surprise, but it was still nice to have it made official. The game is still quite a way from completion, but Ubisoft dropped a hint about what’s coming at an AMD press conference at GDC: Specifically, as reported by The Country Caller, that it will support DirectX...
The Oculus PC SDK v1.3 has implemented Asynchronous Timewarp (ATW) on Windows. Basically, this affects the Oculus headset’s ability to render images smoothly, without as much “judder” in the image quality. Timewarping is a relatively new term for the way VR technology adjusts images before they’re sent to your headset. Before timewarp, your movement was captured...
Mods for Automobilista, F1 2013 and F1 2014 are no longer available after legal claims from Formula 1’s commercial rights holder demanded they be removed. As – rather angrily – detailed over on Pretend Race Cars, the threat of legal action from Formula One World Championships Ltd has resulted in over 30 pages of mods being...
Star Wars: Battlefront’s Outer Rim DLC was released in the past week, and with it came a bunch of new bugs and issues all waiting to be fixed by EA. Don’t worry though, the studio’s on the case. The bug fixed quickest was that which automatically elevated people to level 60 without them putting in...
Two Worlds 3 is in development, Topware Interactive has announced, and its 2010 RPG Two Worlds 2 will be getting an engine update – as well as some new DLC. Topware made the announcements over on Facebook, where it said Two Worlds 3 would be in development over ‘the next 36 months’ – so it’ll...
