Activision Blizzard have also said they will “carefully consider” whether to go ahead with a proposed report into their efforts to address alleged workplace harassment within the organisation after two-thirds of attending shareholders voted to approve the suggestion. This vote was non-binding, which means Activision Blizzard doesn’t have to act on it. The board of directors had advised shareholders last month not to approve the proposed report. “Consistent with our ongoing commitments, we will carefully consider the proposal to enhance our future disclosures....

The new allegations (via Bloomberg Law) claim that Activision Blizzard “refused to produce documents regarding complaints and investigations of discrimination and harassment by asserting that they did not exist or that they were privilieged and confidential because attorneys were involved.” “DFEH is also informed and aware that documents and records have not been maintained as required by law of the DFEH’s Document Retention Notice,” the lawsuit alleges. “Including but not limited to documents related to investigations and complaints were shredded by human resource personnel and emails are deleted thirty days after an employee’s separation....

Get an AMD Ryzen 9 5900X for £342 w/ code BIG15 Beyond this, is the 5900X a good processor? I’d say so - it offers extremely good gaming performance in a wide range of titles, trading blows even with Intel’s 12th-gen processors, and it does so while using significantly less power than the Blue Team’s latest. AMD AM4 motherboards are cheap and plentiful, and you don’t need to get expensive DDR5 RAM or run Windows 11 to get the most out of this CPU....

The AMD Ryzen 9 5900X is the company’s latest high-end consumer processor, offering 12 cores and 24 threads using the incredibly fast Zen 3 design. AMD’s latest generation CPUs have made incredible strides against Intel*, and are now often the best choice for both gaming and content creation - an unthinkable situation just five years ago when Ryzen first launched. The 5900X has been the hardest Ryzen 5000 model to find at a good price, thanks to low supply and incredible demand, but today you can pick one up for a significant discount - £43 below RRP, or £466....

SCS shared lots of old/new comparison screenshots in a blog post explaining the new system. Sounds like it’s been a huge task, with loads of work on art assets needed to support the changes too. They say that “for some weeks, the majority of all our teams had to stop working on anything else related to our future projects, and go over all the game objects, vegetation, vehicles, and effects; re-balancing things, again and again, to sync them on a shared agreed-upon albedo reference table....

Among Us is a space-y spin on games like Werewolf or Mafia. You know, where you and your pals all have roles and you’ve got to ferret out who among you is the imposter trying to kill everyone else. It’s the sort of game that’s supposed to be fun whether you win or lose because the real reward is screaming at your mates. And yet there are folks who cheat....

It’s a beautiful game, with the mazes growing in complexity and size as you go. You start off in the museum, where the exibits have come to life. The city streets are overrun with a festival. Later you enter a magical forest, and run around the giant trees. There’s also a magical city-castle, where the statues have come to life and are rebelling against being statues. It is - perish the word - absolutely charming, and full of details....

Season 6: Boosted kicks off this coming Tuesday. We’ve already had a taste of ApeLegs’ turret-toting new hero Rampart - now, it’s time to take a tour of the major changes coming to the World’s Edge map. Respawn are preparing to smash up World’s Edge for the second time next season, outlining a series of dramatic map changes in a blog post this week. Besides keeping players on their toes, the devs explain that they’re looking to push more fights into the lava side of the map while adding options to some “particularly sticky” chokepoints....

The animation kicks off with Kairi “Valkyrie” Imahara recovering what’s left of her dad’s mech, and using it to get an audience with Kuben Blisk (another antagonist in Titanfall 2, and the guy that started the Apex Games). Valkyrie blames him for Viper’s death and wants to get revenge, even though (spoilers!) it’s you who murders him in Titanfall 2, but uh, maybe don’t tell her that. Instead of murder she settles for an invite to become an Apex Legend, then heads off to Rampart’s workshop to chop up her dad’s mech - presumably to turn it into something she can take with her into the Apex Games....

Here’s the trailer: I get excited when a trailer shows me something novel to do, but the Flintlock trailer suggests you’ll spend a lot of time fighting zombies or skeletons. I also get excited when a trailer shows me somewhere novel, or strange or beautiful, to explore, but the Flintlock trailer makes it look like its set in Smoky Dirtville. None of this is appealing. There are, in fairness, glimpses within the trailer of more interesting parts of the game....

To hit 60fps at 1080p, which is the likely minimum most folks would want, you’ll need an i5-6500 or Ryzen 3 1200, 8GB of RAM, anda GeForce GTX 1060 or Radeon RX 580. That’ll only net you ’low’ graphics settings, mind you. If you want to move up through Medium and High settings, whatever those really mean, you’ll need a more powerful graphics card of course, but you can get up to 1080p/60fps on High while still only on 16GB RAM anda GTX1080 or Radeon RX 5700 XT....
