Exact details of which graphics cards will be getting a refresh are still thin on the ground, but given the RX 5600 XT launched just a few weeks ago, I’d imagine that’s probably quite far down the list. Instead, the most likely candidates would be the RX 5700 and the RX 5700 XT, which launched last July and went straight into our best graphics card list - although quite how AMD will differentiate between the old and new refreshes is anyone’s guess....

Coming in at around £420 / $449 (if you can find one in stock, that is), the Ryzen 7 5800X follows a similar trend to the rest of AMD’s Ryzen 5000 family. Not only does it cost quite a bit more than the Ryzen 7 3700X and 3800X did at launch, but it’s also more expensive than its current closest Intel competitor, the £345 / $380 Core i7-10700K. Elsewhere in AMD’s new CPU series, this gamble has paid off....

Amnesia Rebirth Cistern water tank puzzle solution To make your way down the Cistern area of Amnesia: Rebirth you’ll need to cross a gap by moving a water tank. First, make your way down to the controls opposite the hatches. There are three wheels here that you can turn. One opens and closes the hatches, one moves the water tank left to right, and one moves it up and down....

You can find a trailer below for the remaster, which is out now. I had a quick play of Redimensioned and it’s doing plenty to modernise the ancient platformer. There are level select screens, checkpoints, and a brief tutorial, all of which I appreciate. There are also two distinct modes: “Redimensioned”, which adds a double-jump and leaves the need to gather collectables to progress; and “Ultimate Ninja”, which more closely resembles the original game....

Studio Wildcard haven’t explained anything about the game yet, so it’s a big ol’ mystery. The trailer certainly makes it look like a God Of War-sorta dad ’n’ kid adventure rather than a survival sandbox, but it is only a trailer. I’m wary of Ark trailers in particular because none have ever captured my experiences with Ark: Survival Evolved - of not having any cool stuff, and needing to turn the draw distance down to five metres so my PC doesn’t melt....

It’s still crazy expensive, going for an eye-watering £230 / $270 at time of writing, but it’s arguably one of the most flexible wireless gaming keyboards to have graced my desk in recent months. Like the original Claymore before it, the Claymore II comes with a detachable number pad you can slot onto either side of the main body, only this time it comes a wider, more tactile volume wheel and adds four customisable hotkeys to the mix for those all-important macro commands....

When Larian Studios first revealed the PC system specs for Baldur’s Gate 3, they called for 70GB of storage space. Sometime since then, they’ve gone and more than doubled the number. Over on the game’s store pages you’ll find that they now require a much heftier 150GB of available space. A Larian representative tells PC Gamer that the current early access build is only 80GB, which, yeah, is already bigger than that originally quoted number....

Announced on Blizzard’s site, Battle.net 2.0 isn’t worlds away from its predecessor, but I’m definitely a fan of the way games are displayed in a row along the top as opposed to a long list that runs down the left side. Plus the new library view looks grand, with its ability to filter games. I am genuinely excited for these filters folks. It also uses space better in general. Select a game in the old client and you’d get tiny info-boxes surrounded by an expanse of nothingness....

Rumbleverse’s final update seems like a genuinely nice way for the community to say goodbye, without the grind of a live service. The in-game store will be closed, every player will have access to the current Battle Pass and double-XP gains will be enabled to fast-track unlocks. The blog post mentions upcoming live streams where players will get the chance to play with the devs and learn more about the behind-the-scenes stories of Rumbleverse....

Bullet spread was addressed in the first of three planned updates due in Battlefield 2042 before the holidays.

“QA is currently an undervalued discipline in the games and software industries. We strive to foster work environments where we are respected and compensated for our essential role in the development process,” wrote GWA Albany on Twitter on Tuesday. The employee organisation intends to fight for competitive pay, improved healthcare and improvements to work-life balance, among other issues. Blizzard Albany was formerly known as Vicarious Visions. Under that name, the studio has existed since the ’90s, and after being acquired by Activision in 2005 worked on Guitar Hero, various Skylanders games, and most recently led development of Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 + 2....

“We are temporarily disabling Mei to address a bug with her Ice Wall ability that allows heroes to reach unintended locations,” Blizzard said in a forum update. As Kaan reported last week, players have been aware of the issues with Mei’s ice wall ability since Overwatch 2 launched at the beginning of October. A compilation video of the ice wall glitching out was shared on Reddit, showing how it’s been failing to block incoming damage, separate enemies, and net allies some sweet air....
