Gollum and Smeagol are conflicting personalities. Anybody who has read the works of Tolkien, or watched The Lord of the Rings, will know this. Much like its titular character, The Lord of the Rings: Gollum, based on the book license, also looks to be somewhat conflicting in the gameplay styles on offer. During my time at Nacon’s Big Ben Week, Daedalic Entertainment showed me two parts of the game, both very different from the other....

It’s not the first time that cyberattacks have targeted Ubisoft. In 2020, the company filed a lawsuit against the owners of website SNG.One, which allowed users to attack servers of various games including the popular first-person tactical shooter Rainbow Six: Siege. The company won said lawsuit last year at the US Central District Court of California, where the judge awarded Ubisoft around $153K in compensation. Another prominent game developer, CD Projekt RED, was also targeted by cyberattacks in early 2021....

As could be read in our PC impressions article, the Uncharted collection fairs pretty well on PC, although the PC port could have benefitted from additional visual features. “Considering that the PS5 version asks users to choose between 4K@30FPS, 1440P@60FPS, and 1080p@120FPS, it is obvious that Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection PC is the definitive version”, Alessio Palumbo wrote in his article. “In fact, there is enough performance headroom that ray tracing would have been a great addition, though it was probably out of the scope of this port project....

DrawnApart tracking system may start using WebGL to track users through their onboard graphics card Researchers executed an extensive experiment involving up to 2,550 devices, with a total of 1,605 different CPU formats, to demonstrate their technique, oddly called ‘DrawnApart,’ which boosts the median tracking period to 67% in comparison to existing next-gen processes.

Apparently, this isn’t the end, as Blizzard is promising to deliver “multiple updates this year.” I’m not sure what finally got their butts in gear, but it’s good to see Warcraft III: Reforged getting the attention it deserves.

When a Season ends, the ladder will reset, and players will be able to see their history via their Profile and the Leaderboards....
