As Warhammer 40,000: Dark Heresy gets an early gameplay look-in, Rogue Trader gets an infinitely brief DLC teaser

Last year, Owlcat announced they were working on another CRPG set within the world of Warhammer 40,000 called Dark Heresy. This would have potentially led to an assumption that they were done with their previous game, Rogue Trader, but nope! They're still going, and a brief teaser for that CRPG's next bit of DLC was shared (and when I say brief, I do mean it), and to wet your appetite, some gameplay for Dark Heresy is there to have a look at too.

While you wait for a release date announcement, have a gander at Nivalis' opening moments

Nivalis is a game that whenever I see it I just think "oh, that can't be right, games like this don't actually exist do they?" Arguable, until it's actually out, its existence is neither here nor there. But at the very least for the month of February, instead of talking at us lot in their monthly devlogs, developer Ion Lands opted to show off a little snippet of the game's opening moments to tide us over until release.

What are we all playing this weekend?

Edwin got beat up the other day, so I suppose it’s up to me to ask what everyone’s playing this weekend. No extended joke here. He’s just absolutely battered. In pieces, really. God, that must have been humiliating for him.

Nvidia recall Resident Evil Requiem-branded GeForce driver after users report GPU fan, clock, and performance problems

Mere hours after releasing their newest GeForce Game Ready GPU driver, 595.59 WHQL, Nvidia have recalled it, amid widespread reports of the update interfering with the cooling fans, core clock speeds, and even general game performance of users’ RTX graphics cards.

The driver’s announcement post, which still boasts of readying PCs for today’s Resident Evil Requiem launch, now carries an added warning: "We have discovered a bug in the Game Ready and Studio 595.59 WHQL drivers and have removed the downloads temporarily while our team investigates. For users that have already installed this driver and are experiencing issues with fan control, please roll back to 591.86 WHQL."

ConcernedApe wins my funny bit of the year award for making Clint a marriage candidate in Stardew Valley's 1.7 update

Stardew Valley, as of today, as temporally upsetting as it is to write this, is officially 10 years old. An entire decade! A far cry from being able to vote, but in the UK it could be convicted of a criminal offence, if such a situation were to arise. And to commemorate such an occasion, creator Eric "ConcernedApe" Barone shared a 22 minute long video showing some old builds of the game, shared some behind the scenes and tidbits, and revealed the new marriage candidates coming in the farming sims' 1.7 update.

What went wrong with Highguard? The "hubris" of its developer's leadership, say former staff in a new report

When a game like Highguard, with its Apex Legends creators and reported Tencent funding, comes out and just kind of flops, you have to wonder what happened to get it to this point. Well, a new report from Mr. Scoop himself Jason Schreier over at Bloomberg appears to have shed a bit of light on the whole palaver through speaking with former Wildlight staffers.

Resident Evil Requiem's zombie nightmare runs like a dream on PC

Been a while since I’ve done one of these. Been even longer since I didn’t have a complaint about wonky performance or some manner of debilitating stutter issue to open it with. Nope, Resident Evil Requiem is, on the technical side, a big and shiny blockbuster like they should be made: a good looker and a smooth runner both, almost regardless of graphics card heft. It is, as Capcom promised, the anti-Monster Hunter Wilds. Not a bad shooty-horror game, either.
