It’s a far more accessible experience than its predecessor, but still quite challenging. You’re going to die often until you learn the enemy layouts and paths. At least this time, developer One More Level gives players more pathways to tackle tough opponents for surprise or explosive attacks. The game releases on consoles and PC next month (October 26th) and now includes some challenging vehicle sections as seen in the demo. A nice improvement all-round over the original game.
At EVE Fanfest 2023, CCP Games unveiled EVE Vanguard, an Unreal Engine 5 powered sandbox multiplayer FPS 'module' for EVE Online.
CG writes: There’s lots to like about the new Cyberpunk 2077 2.0 update what with all the combat tinkering you can do to shape your version of main character V. But going back to basics and with the arrival of car combat, you can now take on the role of a real hitman/gangbanger as seen in this video. Most players will be aware of this scripted moment between the gangs Tiger Claws and Maelstrom, but here there is a difference. For your info, game is running using full path/ray tracing options in 4K using an RTX 4090.
Wow big news I guess this must mean the Offset Engine really is what every one is wishing it will be.
I also wonder how this will effect the game Project Offset. My guess it will help but it may not too.
I was expecting Project Offset to be a sleeper hit but now since Intel came in it might become a huge game. Not huge in terms of Halo or MGS but big among those who love these kind of games

I had totally forgot about OP, it's an interesting FPS project.
Is Offset Software a game dev or more a general software developer?
I know Intel has been involved in 3D engines and other software ventures but I have no idea what this news means to gaming, or even to the Project Offset game specifically.
Any ideas why this news would actually be interesting? (don't mean that facetiously)
I'm sorry but I'm glad Sam is happy but all I see now is a game that will take even longer to release, probably PC exclusive to tie into one of Intel's horrible processor campaigns and how it will require a 50 core 9.9gigamegahertz processor(only from Intel) to play it.
Damn, this is some bad news taken at face value. Intel is not a freakin publisher and they have no experience running a game house. I'm still hopeful but I'm starting to feel like the last years of watching and waiting for this game to hit the 360 where nothing but a waste of time.
