Beyond Good and Evil 2 hasn't yet been "in development" for as long as Duke Nukem Forever was, but it's getting there. Our earliest "it's still happening" post went up in 2012—already several years after it was announced—and our most recent was in February 2020. 

I did not realize this, but there are a lot of pirate-themed games on Steam. I discovered this little piece of trivia because tomorrow, September 19, is International Talk Like a Pirate Day, and that means—you guessed it—it's time for a Steam sale.

The big news out of today's Cyberpunk 2077 online showcase was the reveal of the PC system requirements. If you haven't seen them yet, you'll be happy (and maybe surprised) to hear that they're really quite light. An SSD is recommended (although at this point you should have one in your rig anyway, they really do make a huge difference) but otherwise, a middle-of-the-road gaming system should be able to handle it quite nicely.

"THIS IS A WIZARD BEARD" proclaims the text, in all caps, in the dropdown menu of the Hair & Beard Variants mod for Crusader Kings 3. I do not need any further convincing.

The first Ebay listing I see when I search "RTX 3080" is priced at $1,199.99. So far, 26 people have clicked Buy It Now on that card, paying hundreds of dollars more than Nvidia's MSRP for a GPU that won't ship out until early October. The listing has 140 1-star reviews. The second listing, though, is only $699.99—because the seller isn't actually trying to sell it. It's called "Nvidia GeForce RTX 3080 Render - Do Not Buy (Read Description)," and the description lays out exactly why it's there:

"This listing is for an 8.5x11" rendering of the NVIDIA GEFORCE RTX 3080. This is being listed at the RTX 3080 MSRP in order to bring attention to the issue of scalping. This is not a real GPU and will not work in your PC.

It's only appropriate for Dark Souls 3, a game that asks you to be your very best (like no one ever was) to eventually receive a Pokémon mod in which to catch monsters becomes your real test, predicated, of course, on the desire to train them (the cause). 

Feral ghouls wearing sunglasses and colorful pool floaties. Irradiated and mutated bipedal alligators. Palm trees waving among the ruins of a once-proud coastal city. Welcome to Miami, Fallout style.

No Man's Sky developer Hello Games said earlier this month, after the release of The Last Campfire, that it's now planning out its next big project—a "huge, ambitious game like No Man's Sky." But it's also still working on No Man's Sky itself, and today it announced that a new update called Origins will be released next week.

Between its gorgeous art deco design style, its almost mythical but nevertheless real-world historical setting, and its decision to focus on strategy and management rather than pure action mechanics, Empire of Sin represents a refreshing change of pace from recent gangster games.

Crysis Remastered has just been released. It's the original game from 2007, but with updated visuals and a slightly different control setup (if you want to use it). At launch the game supports software and hardware ray tracing, while a patch to add DLSS will be released 'soon'.
