What happens when you have a copy of Crysis: Remastered and Nvidia’s new RTX 3080 graphics card in your possession? You see if the RTX 3080 can run it, naturally. One of my hopes for Crysis: Remastered was that it would be just as punishing on PCs today as it was when originally released in 2007.

If you want a battle royale-like experience but want something more family-friendly than Call of Duty or Fortnite, you won’t have to wait much longer. Mediatonic and Devolver have announced that Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout will be available on PS4 and Steam on August 4th.

In the weeks leading up to the launch of Red Dead Redemption 2, then-Rockstar chief Dan Houser mentioned that senior developers had been working weeks well over 100 hours. That led to an industry-wide discussion of crunch, and substantial investigative reports into Rockstar’s expectations of its employees.
