The first benchmarks for the Nvidia GeForce RTX 3080 have appeared online, and they seem to confirm earlier rumors of a huge leap in performance. We’ve just got our first look at the new GeForce RTX 30-series cards from Nvidia’s live press event last week and now we have our first set of benchmarks comparing them to the RTX 20-series. And as the rumors led us to believe, the results are truly staggering....
Earthbound may not be the first Nintendo game on the list when it comes to remaster wishes, but the classic RPG did have its own niche following. It seems one of those followers have taken it upon themselves to recreate the game, but in 3D. As spotted by GameRant, Earthbound: Dimensions is a fan project taken up by antourenein and supported by a few others. They kicked off the project in early 2020 as an experiment to try out Godot Engine 3D and Blender....

Fortnite developer Epic Games announces that it is filing a lawsuit against iPhone maker Apple over its App Store policies. The announcement comes not long after Apple removed the iOS version of Fortnite from the App Store for violating the storefront’s rules. In response to Apple’s removal of Fortnite from the App Store, Epic Games has filed a complaint in the US District Court for the Northern District of California. “Epic brings this suit to end Apple’s unfair and anti-competitive actions that Apple undertakes to unlawfully maintain its monopoly in two distinct, multibillion dollar markets: (i) the iOS App Distribution Market, and (ii) the iOS In-App Payment Processing Market,” explains the court documents....
As has become custom for the Epic Games Store’s weekly lineup, the popular digital PC marketplace has announced the next batch of free games that will be available throughout this week. Of course, the site has quickly become notorious for giving out some truly incredible experiences free of charge with no strings attached, including Grand Theft Auto 5, The Batman Arkham trilogy, Kingdom Come: Deliverance, and Just Cause 4. The newest pair of games to join the service’s long list of prestigious free experiences will be Remnant: From the Ashes and The Alto Collection, both of which are seen as underappreciated gems by their fans....
Epic is reportedly working on automatic inventory placement for Fortnite, according to a reliable leaker. Fortnite leaker HYPEX posted the rumour on their Twitter, claiming that the system is most likely in the works. The system should allow players to set specific weapon types and items to automatically be sorted into specific inventory positions. That means if you want to always have an LMG in the first slot, this update would allow you to set that up....
If, as some say, time is a person’s most precious resource, then it’s quite the honor to have a chance to speak with SoaR Dazs, the General Manager of SoaR Gaming. Between his role with SoaR, his stream schedule (he puts in more than 20 hours a week), Apex Legends scrim matches, his regular YouTube uploads, spending time with his fiance and his day job, it’s a near-miracle he has time to talk the TheGamer....
If there’s one game where players take steps to make what they want into a reality, it’s the MMO EVE Online. From creating player-driven empires to turning a fan-made cemetery into a game feature, players drive some of the most meaningful changes in EVE Online. There are a few reasons for this, with one of the biggest being the way EVE Online operates. Although it is constantly overseen and modified by developer CCP Games, most things in the game are player owned and operated....
In November, Sony Online Entertainment announced that EverQuest II would be going free-to-play at the end of 2011, alongside the release of a new expansion. With nearly all major subscription-based MMOs augmenting their business models to do the same in recent years, it wasn’t too surprising considering EQ2 was seven years old. What was surprising was the fact that the original EverQuest was still an MMO that players needed to pay a monthly fee to play....
UPDATE (9/16/20): Sony announced two more launch titles for the PS5 – DMC 5 and the PlayStation Plus Collection.

Although it had a humble beginning as a middle-of-the-road Point Break rip-off, the Fast & Furious franchise has since evolved into a game-changing Hollywood giant. Universal doesn’t have a big superhero franchise, except it kind of does with the physics-defying antics of Dom Toretto and his partners-in-crime/family. With increasingly large-scale sequels and a recent foray into spin-offs, the freshly rebranded The Fast Saga is now bigger than ever. These aren’t the kind of movies that critics tend to enjoy, but even the sternest, snootiest reviewer can’t deny the sheer fun of watching the most explosive entries in the F&F series....

Capcom was recently the victim of a major ransomware cyberattack that saw the personal information of its employees stolen, along with its video game plans.

A man playing Fallout 4 from the comfort of his apartment has been seriously injured after a car hit his home and crashed through its wall, into his living room. Since Fallout 4 released last month, countless players have found themselves glued to their screens, scouring the wasteland for bobbleheads and bottlecaps. It can take something big to separate a seasoned Vault Dweller from the game when fully engrossed — and that’s exactly what happened to Ben Rose of Irving, Texas....
One of the most eye-catching featured revealed for Fallout 76 so far is the ability to discover and deploy nuclear missiles against one’s enemies. Yet, it’s also been one of the most mysterious. Since its announcement at E3 2017, Bethesda has pulled back the curtain on most of the game’s other important features like how CAMP crafting works and how players will develop their characters, but they’ve remained frustratingly silent regarding how nukes work....
This past weekend, my clan completed the Deep Stone Crypt for the first time, ran our first Master Empire Hunt, and completed our first 1280 Master Nightfall: The Ordeal. Thanks to double Nightfall reward weekend, we ended up running the Nightfall 10 more times on Saturday to farm Ascendant Shards, the rarest and most valuable upgrade material in the game. Of all the high-level content I have completed in the game, Master Nightfalls are by far the most fun to learn and overcome....
