The action/adventure game Slitterhead appeared with major news at Summer Game Fest 2024. Japanese Developer Bokeh Game Studio, founded by Silent Hill creator Keiichiro Toyama following Sony's closure of Team Siren, revealed that Slitterhead would launch on November 8 for PC (Steam and Epic Games Store), PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series S|X.
LG has expressed concerns about Intel's Lunar Lake CPU supply compared to competitors, claiming that Team Blue looks tense with its future product.
News that Microsoft had been developing its own AI-powered upscaler for games, called Automatic Super Resolution, first came to light back in February, before it became clear that this system would only be available on Copilot+ AI PCs. At the moment, the only systems in this ecosystem are Snapdragon X laptops from Dell, Asus, MSI, and others. But as Microsoft explains in a blog on how Automatic Super Resolution works, the PC just needs to have a suitable NPU in its main processor, so it could become available to more gamers.
The upcoming Xbox Games Showcase may reveal Microsoft’s next console, and if the rumors surrounding it are correct, the Xbox Portable will avoid the mistakes of the lackluster PlayStation Portal. Despite the Portal’s financial success, its longevity is dubious, as an expensive gadget with the singular function of streaming games from a PlayStation console. PlayStation fans have been able to do this on their mobile devices and computers for some time thanks to the PS Remote Play app, and the officially licensed Backbone controller offers ideal tactile controls for mobile users, making the Portal entirely pointless.
PC enthusiasts know that if you want thebest gaming CPU, then you really can't go wrong with the Ryzen 7 7800X3D. Its mighty gaming chops are helped in no small way by the additional 64MB of 3D V-cache, so when AMD announced its new Zen 5 architecture, many hoped there would be some info on Ryzen 9000X3D models. That never happened, but AMD did tell us that it's «working actively on really cool differentiators» to make 3D V-cache «even better.»
Bespoke, top-end PC components often have some things in common. Wallet-crushing prices, for one, but also things like massive overclocking headroom, a mountain of ports and connectivity, or a unique colour scheme. At Computex 2024, Gigabyte went one better, though, and rounded up the CEOs of AMD, Intel, and Nvidia and got them to add their signatures to some of its latest motherboards and graphics cards.
We've seen a new memory form factor show up in a few places at Computex 2024—across modules to motherboards. Not least surprising is how often memory manufacturer Micron mentioned it to me at the show. And how enthused it was with the memory form factor, which it is first with to market.
Micron is one of the big players in the memory business, including NAND and DRAM for SSDs and RAM, respectively. So, when VP and GM of Micron's Consumer & Components Group, Dinesh Bahal, tells you what the situation is in the market right now, you should probably listen closely.
