"It's absolutely our goal to expand the market" - Valve's new Steam Frame VR headset has a nifty idea for broader appeal "For a long time, VR has turned itself into an accessory..." Valve has said its new Steam Frame VR headset, despite costing nearly £900 for a base model, is intended to "expand the market" of virtual reality headsets. That's both because it's lightweight and standalone, but also because it addresses a fundamental and long-running problem VR headsets have had. "For a long time, VR has turned itself into an accessory for your PC," Valve software engineer Jeremy Selan told Eurogamer in an interview ahead of Steam Frame's pricing announcement, "or in the case even of standalone, something that you have to decide to do first.

Naughty Dog's The Last of Us franchise featured a multiplayer mode in Factions, and while the studio planned to add multiplayer to the sequel, it abandoned those ambitions before release. A modder spent months this year working on a multiplayer mod for The Last of Us 2, but its lead has now said it's not going to be released due to a request from Sony to shut it down. Modder @Speclizer_ said on social media that the mod was due to launch this month. However, they said they "recently received a letter on behalf of Sony Interactive Entertainment requesting for the mod not to be released." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0_hZQn8_1WA Speclizer said this is an "extremely sad" development, but they hope people who supported the project will stick with them for the next one.
A woman from California has revealed that she was paid $120,000 to carry a baby that ended up being for Chinese video game billionaire Xu Bo. There are plenty of reasons why people choose to go down the surrogacy route when it comes to having a child. On the flip side, surrogates can often make some money from deciding to carry a child for nine months, provided they’re not just helping a friend out. Speaking to CBS News, the woman – who has been named only as Judy to protect her identity – has her own seven-year-old, and after spotting the ad for $120,000, she decided that it could help her find a home for her own family.
Roblox creators will soon be able to publish games on multiple platforms as standalone apps Roblox Everywhere initiative "will start with a select set of gaming developers and storefronts to test" Roblox will enable creators to publish their games on mobile, PC, and console through the Roblox Everywhere initiative. Announced at this year's Roblox Developers Conference, the company said creators will be able to make their games available as standalone apps on multiple platforms, with Roblox "powering the technology and services underneath." It's not yet confirmed if standalone apps will be available on third-party storefronts. A Roblox representative told PC Gamer that it "will start with a select set of gaming developers and storefronts to test, and will share more details soon." By the end of 2026, players will be able to join games directly in-browser from the Experience Details page, without needing an app or installation. Roblox will also produce a physical card in 2027 for creators "to spend their available balance directly, anywhere it's accepted." In its latest financial results, Roblox reported a 36% increase in revenue to $1.5 billion.

The 7 clans of Rokugan are always at war, fighting over land, for glory, or simply because of some minor perceived slight. The Plan To Capture Toshi Ranbo Gunsen The Battle for Toshi Ranbo is a board game for 2 to 6 players, with players using a slightly smaller board for 2-3 player games and a larger board for 4-6 player games. Maybe 7 players pushes it over the game length they were aiming for, but it seems like you could just have a slightly bigger board for 7 players and have 1 side for 2-4 and the other for 5-7, as the turn structure keeps the game going nicely. Review Summary Pros - Great capture of all 7 clans with a unique feel - Great, L5R feeling mechanics - Battle mechanics allow for more depth than simple dice rolls - Order system that rewards early strategic planning Cons - Capped at 6 players when there are components for 7 clans feels odd

A few hours into Wolverine I found myself asking, “Why did Insomniac Games make this?” There are obvious answers, of course: It has three excellent Spider-Man games under its belt; it's an opportunity to expand its Marvel Universe; and Wolverine presents ample opportunities for a brutal and bloody action game. But none of that explains why Insomniac Games , specifically, made Wolverine. Spider-Man is an ideal fit for the studio: an energetic and dynamic hero in the hands of a team known for open-worlds that are sprawling jungle gyms, where it can let players loose with thrilling traversal mechanics and varied combat systems for crime fighting fun. Insomniac also excels at crafting narratives that are as earnest as they are dramatic--perfect for the tumultuous lives of Peter Parker and Miles Morales.

And since Microsoft is cracking its knuckles ahead of another 1,600 layoffs at Xbox, Blizzard union workers also made sure to secure "really strong layoff protections," Cox says.
