I'm an old man. I've created many an autoexec.bat and config.sys file in my life, vividly remember plugging in my first 3D accelerator card with pass-through cables through a Matrox Mystique GPU, and have benchmarked practically every graphics card released since 2006. And the appearance of this gorgeous new Galax graphics card (via Videocardz) this morning was like snorting a hit of pure nostalgia, bringing all those memories flooding back.
PowerWash Simulator dev reveals Velocity spiritual successor Ikaro: Will Not Die
25.10.2023 - 20:49 / eurogamer.net / Powerwash Simulator / Will
FuturLab, the developer behind nozzle-tweaking masterwork PowerWash Simulator, has unveiled neon-streaked action-adventure Ikaro: Will Not Die, which the studio describes a spiritual successor to its acclaimed Velocity series.
Velocity, for the uninitiated, began life as twitchy shoot-'em-up in which players piloted their ship (known as the Quarp Jet) through space in a blaze of enemy-shredded bullets. Its sequel, 2014's Velocity 2X, retained the acclaimed ship-bound action of the original, but paired it with regular on-foot sections requiring protagonist to Lieutenant Kai Tana to disembark and solve a few puzzles to clear the way forward. Eurogamer liked it a lot!
But back to Ikaro: Will Not Die; it's being billed as an action-adventure rogue-lite, that «brings the pace and precision of [the Velocity series'] satisfying flow-state action into third-person, while infusing an array of exciting new systems and mechanics.»
«Ikaro rewards momentum, delivering satisfaction and style as players master the game's unique systems,» continues the official announcement. «Surf through sci-fi environments and engage in spectacular combat encounters by chaining mind-blowing abilities together.» And if you're wondering what that looks like in action, all is revealed in the trailer above.
Ikaro: Will Not Die doesn't have a release date yet, but when it does eventually show up, it'll be available for PC and «consoles» — which, as per tonight's Xbox Partner Preview showcase, will definitely include Xbox Series X/S.

Powerwash Simulator VR Review
I have to do chores now. My wife and son have watched me playing PowerWash Simulator VR for the last hour, and various questions have been asked along the way, such as “Why don’t you just go and clean the real garden?” and, “You’ve got your own car you could be washing, you know?” These are both valid points, but no one is going to pay me invisible game dollars to do that, are they?

Revenant Hill, the spiritual successor to Night in the Woods, is cancelled as developers struggle with serious health issues
Revenant Hill made a big impression on us when it was revealed back in May: Associate editor Ted Litchfield said it «looks to press the gas on both autumnal vibes and the themes of early industrial labor organizing,» which actually sounds pretty spot-on when you consider that developer The Glory Society was founded by Night in the Woods co-creators Bethany Hockenberry and Scott Benson.

Qualcomm CEO Believes That Huawei’s Comeback Will Not Harm The Chipset Maker’s Relationship With Other Chinese Smartphone Brands
Qualcomm recently posted its fourth-quarter earnings, and despite a slowing smartphone market, the San Diego firm managed to beat expectations. While the company might have narrowly avoided a pummeling in this three-month period, there are a myriad of challenges that await the chipset maker going into 2024, with Huawei likely on the top of that list. Fortunately, Qualcomm CEO Cristiano Amon stated in the earnings call that these events and the emergence of another player will not affect its relationship with other smartphone brands in China.
