Well, Dune: Spice Wars is launching onto Early Access today, and I’ve been able to have a hands-on before this launch. I remember Shiro Games saying that a game would last between three to five hours and, from the games I’ve played, this is understating the time just a bit. I’m generally a slower, contemplative player, so this I expected. However, the slower you go, the more likely you will lose....

The tech heads at Digital Foundry have put Dying Light 2 to the test on the older consoles, and while you’re certainly not getting the full next-gen experience, it seems the game is perfectly playable. The title’s base assets are largely identical regardless of generation, with some changes to lighting and ambient occlusion being the only real changes. The base Xbox One and PS4 run at a non-dynamic 864p, while the Xbox One X and PS4 Pro are 1080p....

Here’s a bit more detail about what’s going on in Spike’s Story: Last Call… The Last Call event will consist of two parts, with the first running from January 24 to January 28.

Spike’s organizing a safe zone for the survivors who managed to escape. There are still many who need help getting there, though, and it will take some real grit and extraordinary skill to brave the storm and bring them to safety....

Elon Musk has never been one to shy away from outlandish bets on his company’s products. After all, it is this hyped-up persona that allows Tesla to trade at around a 10x premium to its peers. Now, it seems that the CEO of Tesla is endorsing wildly exaggerated views about the newly revealed Optimus robot, trying to create a social media phenomenon around what otherwise has been largely panned by experts as an underwhelming AI Day presentation....

Twitter (NYSE:TWTR), one of the most prominent social media platforms, is about to become a part of Elon Musk’s expanding business empire. — *Walter Bloomberg (@DeItaone) April 25, 2022 As per the details revealed just moments ago, Musk will acquire Twitter at $54.20 per share, equating to an offer of around $44 billion.

Now that Twitter belongs to Elon Musk in what is, at least partially, a leveraged buyout, the social media platform’s interest expense alone is set to balloon to around $1 billion by next year. Musk’s biggest challenge now is to figure out a strategy to unlock explosive growth in Twitter’s monetizable userbase without offending advertisers as he aggressively dials back on content moderation. Power to the people! Blue for $8/month....

More recently, the Embracer Group entered into an agreement with Square Enix to acquire their Western studios (Eidos Montréal, Square Enix Montréal, and Crystal Dynamics) alongside popular IPs like Tomb Raider, Deux Ex, Thief, and Legacy of Kain for a mere $300 million, leading Saber Interactive CEO Matthew Karch to say it was the steal of the century. The Swedish company may have outdone itself with the latest round of acquisitions, though....

Let’s start with the introduction. Floodland is set in a somewhat exaggerated future Earth, the current climate crisis has gone into overdrive, and the water levels have risen exponentially.

During Gamescom, I could have a hands-on session with Floodland, play some of the opening tutorial and section of the game and see elements of what’s to come....
