The Lexar Play 1TB is 30 off today, and the faster SanDisk Extreme is also discounted. The Lexar Play 1TB is now retailing for 110 at Amazon, compared to a usual price of 140.

Whichever card you choose, these are some awesome deals that will dramatically expand your available game storage....

Atlas Fallen's action RPG combat looks truly delicious in motion

I’ve got to say that in action that combat really looks good, too. Also I keep thinking its called Atlas Rising, not Atlas Fallen. Atlas FALLEN, Ed.Fallen. My excuse for misremembering the game’s name is warranted, I’d say. Atlas Fallen could be the name of any number of ARPGs with shiny CGI trailers. And we saw these in action against colossal creatures born from sand and itching for a bust up....

FromSoft made the announcement on Dark Souls 3s SteamEvents page, and onTwitter, apologising for the long wait. Its been seven months since the RCE security exploit, which Edreportedon back then, was discovered.

Dead Pets Unleashed is a chaotic punk rock drama that’s giving me quarter-life crisis flashbacks

You’ll wanna turn your speakers up for this one. You play as Gordy, a 30-something demon and the bassist for the punk rock band Dead Pets. She’s also someone who seriously needs to get her life together. It’s very in-your-face and incredibly chaotic. The best minigame is the one at band practice. The music is, unsurprisingly, very punk rock and is actually pretty good. Underneath all of the game’s in-your-face attitude is a wider story about Gordy’s personal issues....

Elite Dangerous uses real-life space sounds recorded from Antarctica

I know, Id not heard that one before either. Must be on their new album. The tune was a hit, and NASA even startedpromotingtheir Soundcloud off the back of it. I was looking into going to see them live but there isnt another launch window for weeks. A galaxy cluster has so much gas that we’ve picked up actual sound. you’re free to read a layman’s explanation of ithere. The gist is that they take data and convert it into sound....

Everywhere devs respond to NFT speculation, saying it's built “on Unreal Engine 5, not the blockchain”

And the answer is… complicated. Theyve felt it necessary to qualify that this isnt because Everywhere will feature the controversial technology yet. It still sounds like the metaverse. We are building Everywhere on Unreal Engine 5, not the blockchain. We hope this helps clarify some of the speculations around this topic. But thanks all the same. Most of what we know so far is that it has multiple environments including deserts, forests and cities....

I can see Geoff from up here! Theyre rendered with the fancy photogrammetry technique thats already plonkedhundred of citiesinto Flight Simulators rendition of Earth. Nice bit of Inception-style weirdness there, Microsoft Flight Simulator devs. Ill give it a go later and see if I can spot our roving reporter Ed.

A Space For The Unbound devs walk away from “predatory” publisher PQube

Mojiken Studio say they were left feeling manipulated and exploited by the UK-based publishers actions.

The diversity fund was a grant fund intended to help underrepresented game developers, especially during the pandemic. We have only uncovered the true amount of these funds and their intended purposes in March 2022. Thus, we are also announcing that we have terminated our contract with PQube Games....
