Half-Life 2 writer Erik Wolpaw says some people at Valve are looking at AI tools, but he's not "worried about AI taking over creative writing" anytime soon

So far, the headline story in 2026 has been AI. Whether it's the furore around the whole DLSS 5 saga or Crimson Desert developer Pearl Abyss shipping the game with art assets of gen-AI origin, it's impossible to avoid the topic in videogames and beyond. Today, renowned Valve writer Erik Wolpaw has chimed in. Read more

Псевдодецентрализация: почему блокчейн не закрывает главную уязвимость, а Будда — закрывал

Децентрализации не существует.* Есть централизация с красивым интерфейсом. Пока одни пишут смарт-контракты, другие судятся за контроль над treasury. Пока одни запускают DAO, другие становятся в них де-факто диктаторами. Это не баги реализации — это фича операционной системы под названием «Ум». И единственный протокол, который всерьёз работал с этой уязвимостью, написан без единой строки кода — работает в production уже 2500 лет и до сих пор не был скомпрометирован. Стоит разобраться,...

Remedy's FBC: Firebreak won't get more content updates, but a Friend's Pass and price reduction should help the game find players "for years to come"

When we talk about high-profile live-service failures, Remedy Entertainment's FBC: Firebreak is often left out of the conversation. That's because the co-op shooter never really gained a lot of traction, despite the the post-Alan Wake 2 hype it was graced with before launch. Less than a year after its launch, the developers are saying goodbye... but there is good news, too. Read more Read more

Don't call it ugly Elder Scrolls! I've never played anything quite like Dread Delusion, and now it's on consoles you really should play it too

You'll probably have one of two reactions to Dread Delusion's artstyle: you'll either immediately embrace its lurid, retro-inspired world of shimmering, ugly polygons or you'll instantly recoil, rejecting it wholesale. But I'm here to implore you: don't run! Dread Delusion is a game that's purposefully hideous, using the queasy, lurching low-poly geometry of late-90s-era gaming to conjure an atmosphere that's supposed to feel off-puttingly wrong. It's horror-adjacent in that regard;... Read more

Crimson Desert review

Crimson Desert is big. So big, it turns out, that this open world game requires not one but three loading screens. The first is a simple bar loading shaders and the like; the second whisks you away to a blocky realm with a twinkling star sitting on its horizon, a strange and tantalising lead-up for a game that bills itself primarily as a high-fantasy action romp. The third sees the... Read more
