AMD has delayed the on-shelf availability of its new Zen 5-powered Ryzen 9000-series processors until August after discovering an issue with the first batch of chips.
With an original on-sale date of July 31, the company is now aiming to have the Ryzen 7 9700X and Ryzen 5 9600X on shelves by August 8, and the Ryzen 9 9950X and Ryzen 9 9900X by August 15.
AMD hasn’t gone into exact details on what was wrong with the first batch of Ryzen 9000 processors but says they failed in the final stage of checks. The fault was discovered only after it had started shipping to its partners ready for launch, hence the multi-week delay in getting another batch of fresh chips in production and out of the door.
This will mean a little longer to wait for both the chips themselves and news of how well they run from our test bench but you need not worry, we already have some idea of how they perform from some early testing made available elsewhere.

The latest Diablo 4 season might have the fastest way to earn XP ever, but Blizzard is going to let you make it even faster next week.
On February 6, Diablo 4’s Lunar Awakening event will sprinkle Sanctuary, and its dungeons, with unique Shrines that boost your XP gains by 50% for 30 seconds when you activate them. Local events will also spawn around the open world that will help you earn reputation with a new faction for cosmetics and other rewards.
Lunar Shrines will give you a new version of the regular Shrine buffs. Blast Wave Shrines, for example, will not only periodically explode enemies around your character, they will set off a chain reaction of explosions right after. And Greed Shrines now have a chance to spawn Treasure Goblins as well as buckets of gold.
Blizzard knows how efficiency-brained Diablo 4 players are and made Lunar Shrines spawn a bunch of enemies as soon as you use them. Tryhards will probably still want to drag a group of monsters over to …
Square Enix เป็นที่รู้จักกันมานานแล้วว่าใช้เวลาพัฒนาเกมค่อนข้างนาน (หรือบางครั้งก็นานเกินไป) โดยเฉพาะเมื่อเป็นซีรีส์ Final Fantasy อย่างไรก็ตาม ดูเหมือนว่าบริษัทจะเปลี่ยนไปในช่วงไม่กี่ปีที่ผ่านมา และการพัฒนา Final Fantasy VII Rebirth กำลังดำเนินไปอย่างราบรื่น
Naoki Hamaguchi ผู้อำนวยการการพัฒนาเกมได้บอกว่าสาเหตุที่การพัฒนาเกมเป็นไปได้อย่างราบรื่นกว่าที่เคยก็เพราะว่าทีมงาน 80-90% เป็นท…

It might seem strange to hear that a fishing and sushi restaurant management game was inspired, in part, by the Metal Gear Solid series. But it makes more sense after you’ve played Dave the Diver. Sure, you spend a lot of time fishing and serving food, but among other surprises the game also has a few stealth sequences, including one where Dave has to slip past a bunch of armed goons on patrol.
There are even giant cardboard boxes involved… though naturally Dave isn’t quite as good at that sort of thing as Solid Snake.
I recently got the chance to chat with Dave the Diver’s game director Jaeho Hwang (via email) and I asked where the initial idea for Dave the Diver the game came from, as well as what some of its influences were.
“The idea first came to me when I was on Jeju Island, which is kind of like the Hawaii of Korea,” Hwang told me. “There was this restaurant by the sea there, where the owner caught fish in the morning, and cooked the…
New Atlantis is both the first city that you visit in Starfield and the most boring one. The best cities to visit are elsewhere in the galaxy, offering characters and missions with cool vibes. New Atlantis, however, is like getting lost in an sterilized sci-fi parking lot.
Starfield’s cities are so distinct that it’s best to think about them like choosing your character backgrounds. The missions and people in each city let you decide what kind of character you want to play and what kind of themes you want to explore within Bethesda’s new universe.
Major cities are home to the major factions in the world, like the Freestar Rangers and the UC Vanguard, and smaller cities, like Cydonia, have missions that help illustrate what it’s like to live on the outskirts of the main systems. Choosing a city to start with is the best way to jump straight into storylines you’re actually interested in rather than tediously clearing out activities you don’t really care about.

.45 Parabellum Bloodhound has an immediately arresting first trailer: the breakcore beats, gloomy tenements, and turn of the millennium anime swagger really speak to me, and it’s also coming from cyberpunk bartending visual novel VA-11 Hall-A creator Sukeban Games.
The developer’s direct sequel to VA-11 Hall-A, a second bartending visual novel called N1RV Ann-A, seems to be on indefinite hiatus after undisclosed difficulties. “Development began in late 2019 during a tumultuous time for the team,” Sukeban wrote of .45 Parabellum Bloodhound’s inception. “We landed on its current form roughly two years ago.”
