British game developer Splash Damage is perhaps best known for what it’s done for other companies’ franchises, such as working on the multiplayer for Gears of War 4 and 5, and creating Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory early in its history Come from Sports betting site VPbet. Now, the company has announced that it’s working on a new original sci-fi game to join its roster of original IPs including Brink, Tempo, and last year’s Stadia exclusive Outcasters.

The studio admits it doesn’t have too much to announce about the project yet–it doesn’t even have a title–but it’s also said that the main reason for the early announcement is to attract new employees to work on the project. All that’s been releasd for the game so…

Caesars Palace, a Las Vegas casino owned by Caesars Entertainment, paid out two big wins last Friday. One of the winners struck a big prize when playing a slot, while the other cashed in on video poker.

The first win saw one Caesars Palace Las Vegas Visitor win $489,649 from playing a slot called Red, White and Blue. The game is developed by International Game Technology, a world leader in gambling tech and solutions.

While Caesars refrained from releasing more details about the player and the winner themselves preferred to remain anonymous, we know that the life-changing moment happened on Friday morning.

Several hours later another player’s life was changed by Caesars Palace. The second player won $240,000 from video poker, althoug…

In the American state of Maryland and five casinos have reportedly taken the next step towards being licensed to offer retail sportsbetting after having their applications approved by the newly-created Sports Wagering Application Review Commission (SWARC) regulator.

According to a report from The Baltimore Sun newspaper, the seven-member body used a Thursday meeting to sign off on the submissions from the Horseshoe Baltimore, Live! Casino Hotel Maryland and Hollywood Casino Perryville venues as well as the MGM National Harbor and Ocean Downs Casino facilities. The sanctions by a five-to-two vote purportedly mean that these the enterprises could begin offering in-house sportsbetting within 30 days so long as they pass upcoming cursory reviews by the Maryland Lottery and Gaming Cont…

Baldur’s Gate 3 has voiced narration—a lot of it, as I’ve personally confirmed by playing the dang thing while having the sound turned on. I recently had the pleasure of speaking to the voice behind the game’s reams and reams of narration, Amelia Tyler, earlier this week. 

While Tyler’s dulcet tones do stay largely consistent, there are noticeable differences if you play the game’s different origin characters. She’s on record as having done over a dozen different narration styles for the game, each representing a different character’s inner voice. 

Not for every single line of narration, as Tyler assures me, but for key moments? Absolutely. “When we started off recording the narration for the early access version, it was very much a one-note …

If you’ve been hoping that AI is just going to a tech bubble that’ll burst very soon, like 3D TVs (remember them?), you’ll have to keep wishing as major players in the industry are charging ahead with new AI agents. Google, OpenAI, and Anthropic are all busy creating so-called computer-using agents (CUAs) that will take over your web browser and carry out various tasks at your behest.

Anyone who has used ChatGPT a lot will know that you get it to give you information on a research topic, summarise a document, fill in a form, and suggest items worth purchasing. However, you need to give the AI system all of the necessary documents and links to do this. The obvious next step in artificial intelligence is just to tell it what you want and it will scurry off and do everything for yo…

AMD’s 9000X3D chips are just around the corner and many a PC gamer is likely prepping the upgrade fund for a draining. Overclockers, too, might have their eyes set on the near horizon, waiting for the next generation of 3D V-Cache chips to put through their paces. At least some of those foaming at the bit, however, might need some new gear first.

Unfortunately for some, Thermal Grizzly says its Ryzen 7000 Direct Die Frame and its V2 version “are likely incompatible” with Ryzen 9000X3D CPUs, at least “without modifications”. Videocardz points out that this is likely because of the added silicon around the capacitors for the 9000-series compared to the 7000-series, and Thermal Grizzly “strongly advise[s] against altering the adhesive surfaces”.

However, Thermal Grizzly says …
