Anything to justify the upgrade other than a change of the default colour. If something is in rigorous development for 6 years, I expect to see results other than colour change and taskbar arrangement. Windows 7 was revolutionary in functionality and appearance, and Windows 10 provided a strong framework for app integration and virtual reality. I was expecting Windows 11 to lead the way in AI development and tooling but instead it's still focusing on needless features from 2009.

Been using Windows 11 for over a year now and it's just so plain and boring, I don't think there's any feature that stands out. Only time anything pops into my head about it is when it's doing an updated on shutdown. Other than that, Microsoft may as well become the new Apple and release a new one every year for no reason.

This game comes out in early access in about 10 days and is basically a realistic version of The Sims. It looks super ambitious and incredibly impressive at times. If they pull it off it could be absolutely massive

I kind of have mixed feelings about this so far. At times the game looks great but the performance demands are needlessly insane. They've done a good job with improving the assets and a part of me wishes they left it at just that because the ray tracing is draining. The Nvidia slop of DLSS and Frame Gen helps with performance but degrades the image significantly and I wish developers would stop bailing themselves out with this shite. Not only is it an attempt at covering up poor optimisation but it cons the user into thinking they are running a game better than they are whilst unwittingly suffering from a poorer quality experience - like putting a band aid on a deep cut and pretending everything is fine. Developers need to operate within their means and this game is a prime example of them not. They've gone for RTX overkill and hoped that the Nvidia extras can cover this up. I don't know if Source is a good engine for ray tracing - Portal RTX was brutally demanding too but this isn't how things should be done. Doom Eternal is a prime example of how it should be.

Brilliant performance from Newcastle today and a woeful week for Liverpool. Though Burn, Livramento and Joelinton were all exceptional and very happy for Newcastle to win something finally and deservedly so. Shocking display in all honesty from Liverpool - lethargic and never got going.

Many are seeing this as Warzone's last chance but the reception hasn't been very favourable as Activision seemingly throw one last ditch attempt at saving the mode. What made the original Verdansk/Warzone so popular was the solid mechanics, BR still somewhat fresh and the global lockdown. The servers were also reliable and there wasn't a culture of cheaters. Warzone has gone downhill ever since with an increase in cheaters, the removal of content and a mishmash of mechanical changes that really affect the core gameplay. With BO6 seen as the worst for authentic movement and Activision still trying (and failing) to create a functional anti-cheat, I think this will flop massively. It may bring a lot of people back initially but I cannot see any longevity and it all seems rather desperate.

Apparently the game is also being removed from sale this month so this could be last chance saloon to get it as well at a discount.

It could've been 2pts but now the gap is 13pts just 5 days later! Arsenal should put all their efforts into the Champions League now but their lack of firepower wont get them very far even against PSV. Not signing anyone in January was fatal and although they've been unlucky with injuries, they should've brought a couple in even on short term loans for the rest of the season. A weaker strike force is better than none.

Just finished the original Dino Crisis and what a remarkable game! I was taken aback at how challenging it is in comparison with Resident Evil - combat is tough and the puzzles are incredibly hard at times. You need a pad and pen at hand just for codes and remembering certain solving techniques! It's refreshing to play such a rewarding and difficult game and it puts into perspective how easy games are now and even how basic the iconic RE games were for its puzzles. Great story and I also like how there are choices you can make which change your route/objectives like in Resident Evil 3. Wish there was more weapons but on the whole it's a superb experience

I've also just voted for Driver 1 and 2. There is an unofficial port for the sequel on PC called ReDriver with lots of QoL fixes but I'd love to see both games get revived for retail. Played both on the PS1 back in the day and they were both legendary particularly the original but the texture pop-up was pretty horrendous.

They use AI to 'help develop' in-game assets on their billion dollar franchise. After over a year of accusations and months of persistent denials, thanks to a Steam Store change requiring developers and publishers to disclose such things, the truth has finally been revealed. Call of Duty admits it's using generative AI to 'help develop some in-game assets', and suddenly all those poorly made calling cards make sense | PC Gamer WWW.PCGAMER.COM "Disappointingly, I just grinded for an AI-generated calling card." So people are further shelling out £25 a season for generic rewards that were made by a machine and not crafted by an art team. Honestly it wouldn't surprise me if we soon found out that the map layouts were done by AI too because no human would've been idiotic enough to design half the maps BO6 has with intent. Also gun camos will probably soon fall under the spotlight as people aren't going to let this go easily without more answers. Calling cards were always a pretty iconic part of the series and I used to love unlocking them through challenges especially from MW2 to BO2. This news for me just taints the franchise even further and you just can't trust what you're playing has been produced legitimately and to the best standard possible.

Pivotal weekend of results - Arsenal were expected to go 5pts behind with a game in hand on Liverpool who were expected to lose today. Instead the gap is 11pts as Liverpool beat city and Arsenal lose to West Ham. You thought the tide was turning with Liverpool dropping 4pts on their travels and barely scraping past Wolves, but Arsenal's lack of recognised strikers and some severe out of form players like Saliba and Odegaard has put them way off the pace and you can see them dropping more points in the weeks to come. Villa managed to sign Rashford and Asensio which is exactly what Arsenal could've done with and they ended up with nothing despite being second in a title race. Could be one of the most fatal mistakes in Premier League history and it's not the first time they've failed to build in January.

Dino Crisis (PC)

Bloody loved Days Gone but not sure if it warrants a remaster. Thankfully it's only a £10 upgrade but I don't know how much of a 'remaster' it's going to be and if the content included is what you'd expect from a free update rather than a paid upgrade. I had the game on PC and there's no sign of this re-releasing but I can honestly see them replacing the original and then raising the price.

I've watched quite a lot of gameplay of this and I'm really not sure what they are trying to achieve. It's only a technical test but there's no in-game communication and the gameplay framework is just strange. Conceptually it seems like a fan made mod and the way it's executed doesn't feel do dissimilar either. Gonna keep my eye on it regardless but I'm not sure if this will sit well with the majority especially for £40. The Souls modding scene is pretty huge and you see creators producing 25-40 hour campaigns for Dark Souls 1 and 3 with everything built from scratch and with Shadow of the Erdtree not being as well-received either, it feels like they are souring things.

I can see Blackburn making it this year especially with all the teams behind being unable to string more than one with together! It'll be tough because there are 4 teams that are probably too good for this league meaning two will be in the playoffs but if Rovers can hold on, anything can happen. Wonder if Eustace will apply for his old job back now🤣
