Redfall review-in-progress: It's not great, folks
Well, that's a bummer. Still going to try it on Game Pass, though.

Brief look at youtube reviews of that game seem to agree, it lacks variety of monsters.
Pity as its the game given out with Nvidia 40 series cards. Would be funny if it had Vram issues. Irony
Its being compared to Fallout 76. That isn't a comparison you want to have

I can't say I agree that Bethesda are that great at side stories, compared to what's in Witcher 3 or even Horizon.

I can't say anybody is good at side stories compared to Witcher 3! That includes all the other game from CD Projekt.
Witcher 3 is really in its own class there.
I remember when I first played it, and I thought the NPC in one of the first side quest was going to be one of the main NPCs, because of detail.
Valve won't let devs frontload Steam screenshot galleries with a dozen trailers anymore, says many don't know 'how best to manage' the space
The latest update puts a limit on videos that can be displayed at the front of the thumbnail row.
I'm one of those people who would much prefer to see some screenshots than watch a video to get a general idea of a game, so I'm quite happy with this change.
I also don't understand the confusion of the article writer on why Steam is enforcing this for all developers, without allowing them to opt out. Making a better user experience on every game page is just as important for Valve as it is for the developers.
Valve is going to know so much more than any dev or publisher about what works for customers, except maybe the AAAs who have had their own store for years.
Retail is a very different industry than game dev or publishing—let the experts make the calls.
PS what happened the title of that article, did they lose the company scissors?
If I pull up a game's page and see 5 or 6 videos at the front I just roll my eyes, and there's a good chance that there isn't more than a couple of minutes of gameplay in all the videos combined. I got news for publishers: I don't need to see more than one cinematic trailer.Valve won't let devs frontload Steam screenshot galleries with a dozen trailers anymore, says many don't know 'how best to manage' the space

System Shock studio angers fans by having an AI imagine its own evil AI
Title of the article should have been, "Twitter, having failed to learn anything from 'The Boy Who Cried Wolf' becomes even more irrelevant."

It seems that artists are doing pretty well in the PR battle against AI generated artwork.

I want to see two: probably the release day trailer and the latest trailer. The first tells me the most about the game, the second gives me an update of what it's going to look like today.
That still isn't optimal, though. What would be best is if they had a release-day style trailer and a deep-dive/gameplay trailer: basically, one video for the right side of my brain and one for the left. If the game changes significantly, update the trailer. Leave the DLC trailers for the right side of the list (or just on the DLC's page).
Likely to be a very temporary situation.
When I was young, they invented writing. Huge backlash from all the storytellers and those with great memories.
I was a bit older when printing was first invented. You guessed it, the Chinese scribes went mental, as did the makers of quills and calligraphy equipment.
In my twilight years, we got ebooks. "Not real!" clamored the print aficionados, "You can't sniff the glue in the spine."
Artists have had a good run, more than 40,000 years, but all good things come to an end.
Yeah, if you listen to Twitter or reddit. Everyone else, not so much. At least, that's my impression.
Amnesia: The Bunker 10-minute gameplay video features dark halls, giant rats, and the worst gun ever

Video looks good. I haven't been in the mood for horror in awhile though. I played their last one, Rebirth, and it was just okay. This one looks better, but would pretty much have to be on Game Pass for me to play it.

The day is coming where we'll longer need passwords on the internet
I had all but given up on passkey and moved onto blockchain, but now Google is rolling out passkey, so expect it to take over quickly.

Arg! Right after I trimmed my beard, I grabbed a pan I thought was cool and burned my finger! Now I can't log into anything!

That sounds like you're just removing the password part from two factor authentication.
Warner Bros. exec says Hogwarts Legacy's sold 15 million, made over a billion dollars, and now they want to do the same with Superman
"There's more economics of people just hanging out in the Superman world and universe."

I foresee some very confused executives when their Superman game doesn't make another billion dollars.
Not exactly, but similar philosophy.

Intel to release integrated GPUs that are competitive with low end (RTX 3050) cards, which will really shake up the market.
A year after announcing that PC was its primary market, Capcom announces it's best year ever
Most of those sales were from its catalogue of old games. Steam for the win.

That brings up another thing.... a PIN is a 4 character password that only allows digits. If that's all you need to get in, what's the point of all the fancy stuff? Are they just for user convenience?
PINs are usually tied to a device, the fancy stuff allows logging in from elsewhere.
