Talos Principle: Reawakened Out Now, Croteam Delves into "Making a Remaster Matter" Discussion

Wow! The Talos Principle: Reawakened is out now on PC (Steam), Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. It's been an incredible journey to this point. One that we wanted to take for several years now, because we felt like The Talos Principle—even if it stands the test of time—deserves to become something more.

When we set out to create Reawakened, we asked ourselves: what would we like to see in a remastered game, if we were buying one? An updated version of the game, sure, but what else makes this kind of project exciting? Behind-the-scenes commentaries and the Puzzle Editor were one answer, but what about returning to the world and story of the game itself? What about more puzzles? Another story to join the main game and Road to Gehenna?

Brazilian Modders Give 8GB Memory to GeForce GTX 970

Paulo Gomes, a hardware modder from Brazil, specializes in memory chip replacement mods for graphics cards. In his latest project, he attempted to give the GeForce GTX 970 from a decade ago a memory upgrade to 8 GB, up from its default specs of 4 GB. This was done by replacing the default 4 Gbit (512 MB) 7 Gbps GDDR5 memory chips with 8 Gbit ones. Eight such chips across the GPU's 256-bit wide memory interface results in 8 GB.

It is important to bring up the memory partition controversy of the GTX 970 here. While the GTX 970 is advertised as a 4 GB graphics card, its memory is partitioned into two chunks of 3.5 GB and 512 MB. NVIDIA came up with no other reason for this than for better segmentation with the GTX 980. Given this partitioning, the modded GTX 970 should have at least 7 GB operating at full speed—larger than the 6 GB of the GTX 980 Ti.

$2,750 PlayStation 5 Laptop: Modders Rework PS5 Into 17-inch 4K Laptop

Modders never rest. From one wild experiment to the next, nothing can escape the relentless creativity—sometimes for no reason and often with excess—of a modder. PenBar, a Chinese entity, has introduced a new janky-looking gaming laptop dubbed the BBook AI Original Edition, which is basically a Sony PlayStation 5 stuffed into a laptop-shaped enclosure with a display slapped on top.

Unsurprisingly, the whole project required a substantial number of modifications. Even then, there is barely any true laptop functionality in the product. For starters, the system cannot be used unless plugged into a wall, and for good reason - there is no battery inside. Oh and also, the keyboard doesn't work during gaming. And neither does the mouse. But at least, there is indeed an entire PlayStation 5 inside, with exactly the same specifications, of course.

Modders Behind Bloodborne PC Port Bring Red Dead Redemption to PC

Sony and its exclusivity stuff has made the minds behind the Bloodborne on PC, tired of their promises. With their fed-up switch turned on, Bloodborne modders are working tirelessly to liberate another Sony title from console exclusivity. The gaming community is tired of waiting for Sony to release the PC Port of this game and have taken things into their own hands, once again, just like they did with Bloodborne.

The modders are trying their utmost best to make Read Dead Redemption run as stable as possible on PC with various updates. Over the past few years, we've many of our beloved games go under the chain and lock of the Playstation console exclusivity on their way to PC. And the results are not so great. While it's proven to be incredible additions to the console, they still haven't released any official ports for AAA games like Bloodborne. All these, pushed us gamers to the wall, and we certainly had to take laws into our hands, and we ended up bringing an emulator that could finally run Bloodborne on PC.
