The Callisto Protocol is ramping up marketing ahead of its planned December 2nd launch, which is less than two months before the release of the Dead Space remake. The game obviously owes a lot to that title since Striking Distance Studios’ founders made the first installment while still at Visceral Games. Just like Dead Space, The Callisto Protocol is heavily focused on dismemberment, though the developers reckon that combat feels different, being evenly split between melee and ranged....

Gollum and Smeagol are conflicting personalities. Anybody who has read the works of Tolkien, or watched The Lord of the Rings, will know this. Much like its titular character, The Lord of the Rings: Gollum, based on the book license, also looks to be somewhat conflicting in the gameplay styles on offer. During my time at Nacon’s Big Ben Week, Daedalic Entertainment showed me two parts of the game, both very different from the other....

Twitter tightens its hold on the platform as it kills all third-party clients in the now-updated developer agreement Now third-party clients started facing issues a week ago, but people didn’t think Twitter would be killing them all together at that time. However, the company has adjusted the developer agreement and added a new clause. The clause prohibits creating anything similar to what Twitter applications offer, and with this, the reign of third-party Twitter clients has ended....

It’s not the first time that cyberattacks have targeted Ubisoft. In 2020, the company filed a lawsuit against the owners of website SNG.One, which allowed users to attack servers of various games including the popular first-person tactical shooter Rainbow Six: Siege. The company won said lawsuit last year at the US Central District Court of California, where the judge awarded Ubisoft around $153K in compensation. Another prominent game developer, CD Projekt RED, was also targeted by cyberattacks in early 2021....

As could be read in our PC impressions article, the Uncharted collection fairs pretty well on PC, although the PC port could have benefitted from additional visual features. “Considering that the PS5 version asks users to choose between 4K@30FPS, 1440P@60FPS, and 1080p@120FPS, it is obvious that Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection PC is the definitive version”, Alessio Palumbo wrote in his article. “In fact, there is enough performance headroom that ray tracing would have been a great addition, though it was probably out of the scope of this port project....

DrawnApart tracking system may start using WebGL to track users through their onboard graphics card Researchers executed an extensive experiment involving up to 2,550 devices, with a total of 1,605 different CPU formats, to demonstrate their technique, oddly called ‘DrawnApart,’ which boosts the median tracking period to 67% in comparison to existing next-gen processes. With user privacy being the most prominent concern, some websites already collect information by unscrupulous means, such as managing hardware configurations, operating systems, screen resolutions, timezones, language, type fonts, and much more....

Apparently, this isn’t the end, as Blizzard is promising to deliver “multiple updates this year.” I’m not sure what finally got their butts in gear, but it’s good to see Warcraft III: Reforged getting the attention it deserves.

Recently Microsoft announced an open-source version of .NET which means that now .NET can be made available to other platforms as well like Linux and Mac. If you are a developer or an advanced user, you will need multiple versions of .NET Framework to be installed on the same system for testing and other purposes.
