NVIDIA's entry-level GeForce RTX 4050 GPU has an interesting interface on laptops, making use of the M.2 interface instead of MXM. NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4050 GPU Features M.2 Interface Instead of MXM on Certain Laptops The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4050 is the most entry-level graphics card that you can get within the RTX 40 "Ada" lineup on laptops. The unfortunate thing is that the RTX 4050 never came to the desktop segment despite certain manufacturers showing readiness for this particular model. Currently, the NVIDIA RTX 3050 and its derivatives serve the entry-level segment in the sub-$200 US category but there's […]
There is no shortage of great cases available for our modern-day smartphones. Things get even better if you are talking about flagship phones like the Galaxy S24 Ultra or the iPhone 15 Pro Max. Pitaka, a case-maker famous for its Aramid Fiber cases has just released the new Pitaka MagEZ Case Pro 4 for a number of devices and while this might look like something that has been done to the end, Pitaka has made some changes that I am really in love with and when they sent me this case, I was more than happy with how it turned […]
Qualcomm is expected to switch to its custom Oryon cores when it officially announces the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4. A company executive claimed that the flagship SoC would be unveiled in October, making it the first silicon from the San Diego firm to transition to in-house CPU designs completely. However, this shift could cost Qualcomm’s partners a hefty sum, as one tipster claims that the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 will be expensive, and phone makers will have to evaluate the overall configuration of their devices to sell them at competitive prices. Tipster also mentions that Snapdragon 8 Gen 4’s wafer […]
If it walks like a duck, sounds like a duck, and has previously developed extremely popular duck-based video games, then it’s fairly safe to say it’s a duck. NieR series producer Yosuke Saito, NieR series director and writer Yoko Taro, and NieR series ...
Street Fighter 6 was one of my favorite games of last year, and I’m so convinced I’ll get back to its sublime, best-in-its-class fighting that I still haven’t uninstalled it from my PS5 despite months away. Every time I so much as see a clip of Street ...
A second remake of the original Resident Evil is apparently in the works, according to rumors circulating online. As reported on the Gaming Leaks and Rumors subreddit, DanielRPK, who proved to be somewhat reliable in the past, revealed on their Patreon that a new remake of the first entry in the survival-horror series by CAPCOM powered by the RE Engine is now in development. While DanielRPK did not reveal any additional information on the new Resident Evil remake, @PRE_Atarabiya revealed on X/Twitter that the game will be released in 2026 to celebrate the series' 30th anniversary. Additionally, the user revealed […]
The Resident Evil 2 remake, alongside other entries in the series powered by the RE Engine, recently received a path tracing mod, which greatly improves the visuals in certain scenarios. So much so to make the considerable performance hit almost bearable. In a new video shared on YouTube, MxBenchmarkPC showcased how the remake of the second entry in the series by CAPCOM is improved by modded path tracing. The biggest improvements introduced by the mod are path-traced shadows followed by global illumination improvements, which are less noticeable due to the game's visual design. Even without denoising, the end results look […]
CAPCOM's yearly financial report has been released, showing that the Japanese company has registered a new record of $979 million when it comes to net sales. It's a major increase (21%) year-over-year, and it also comes with a boost in operating income ($366 million, up 12.3% compared to last year) and ordinary income ($381 million, up 15.7% year-over-year). CAPCOM managed to sell nearly 46 million units during the fiscal year that ended on March 31, which is also a historic record for the company. A lot of that was driven by the new games, with the Resident Evil 4 Remake […]
Electronic Arts, the publisher of most sports games on the market, Battlefield, Mass Effect, and plenty of other huge franchises, is considering putting ads inside its video games as another source of revenue. This isn’t the first time the company has ...
Dragon's Dogma 2 performance issues may be caused by a baffling design decision, judging from some recent discoveries by modders. As reported on the ResetERA forums, the vanilla game has an absurdly large LoD range inside, and everything, apart from grass and clutter, is loaded at the maximum detail, which is absolutely pointless, considering how huge the range is. If lower detail assets are not in the game, it is unlikely that performance will see much improvement in future patches. It is not yet known if mods could address this issue in the future, but if they could, it would […]

Dragon's Dogma 2 is about to get some impressive modded new Vocations, including a new take on one of the Vocations that did not return from the first entry in the series. YouTuber The Rift revealed via some videos how they are using currently available mods to create new Vocations, including a Monk, Samurai, Necromancer, and Beast Tamer Vocations, besides the aforementioned return of the Mystic Knight. Judging from the video showcases, these new Vocations look incredibly fun, and their new skills are so well animated that they could pass for official Vocations. Unfortunately, a release date for these modded […]

Resident Evil 9 is said to be revealed pretty soon, and the game will allegedly still be released next year. Last week we reported that the next entry in the popular Capcom franchise was internally delayed and that another game in the series could very well be released before it. This information came from renowned Capcom leaker Dusk Golem, who spoke on The Snitch's Discord server. Fast forward one week and Dusk Golet has recanted his previous claim of a delay. If what the leaker has now heard is true, Capcom is targeting a January 2025 release for the game. […]
