Respawn Entertainment holds a Q&A regarding the PC release of Titanfall 2 and reveals that a potential cap of 144 FPS on the PC version is being discussed. Frame rates in general are a hot topic among game players, whether it’s console players and the struggle to achieve 60 FPS over the past few years, or regarding any sort of FPS cap on PC at all.

Having just come off the incredible successes of Grand Theft Auto 5 and now launching attempting to launch Grand Theft Auto Online, you could forgive Rockstar for only worrying about the here and now. That is largely the case as they have reiterated that they aren’t looking at any active development into GTA VI yet, but that doesn’t mean Rockstar has only been thinking about the present though. In an interview with Develop, it was revealed that Rockstar has actually put in a fair amount of thought as to where they are going....

It’s clear that Take-Two Interactive and GTA Online developer Rockstar don’t take kindly to cheaters. They’ve already taken action to get one GTA cheat provider taken off the internet and even managed to convince the hack site to donate the profits it got from selling GTA Online hacks to charity. If that wasn’t enough proof, a new job ad shows that Rockstar is expanding its anti-cheat division by hiring some new blood....

Marvel’s Phase Four is filled to the brim with exciting content, and one of those projects has a four in the title for a very different reason. The Fantastic Four characters have failed to meet their definitive counterparts in Hollywood, passing through two mediocre adaptations before hanging in uncertainty.

Announced last March for modern platforms, this re-release comes courtesy of Nightdive Studios and follows a similar pattern to its catalog of classic games....

Bethesda’s smash success, Skyrim, was so popular in part due to the size of its world and the depth of its characters and cities. It would be impossible for one player to find every secret and all the Easter eggs hidden around the world. With so many nooks and crannies across every region, many players have no idea where to start exploring. The city of Markarth is no exception to Bethesda’s plentiful secrets....
