CD Projekt narrative director declares Cyberpunk 2077 ‘just a warm-up’ as work kicks off on the sequel-

It’s a new year, and the devs at CD Projekt Red are turning their eyes away from Cyberpunk 2077 to focus on its upcoming sequel from the studio’s new Boston office. In a tweet, Cyberpunk narrative director Igor Sarzyński said that the team is ready to “officially kickstart our Orion [the codename for Cyberpunk’s sequel] journey” in the wake of Cyberpunk the first’s very successful Phantom Liberty expansion and 2.0 update.

And gosh, they sound confident. In the same tweet, Sarzyński declares that—after all its trials and travails—”2077 was just a warm-up” for whatever CDPR has in mind for its next Cyberpunk. That’s both an eminently understandable thing for someone excited about their next project to say and a profoundly wince-inducing thing to say about Cyberpunk 2077 in particular.  

After all, to quote some of my colleagues at PCG, if Cyberpunk 2077 can be described as a “warm-up,” it’s the kind where you accidentally obliterate your…

Intel claims ‘substantial’ CPU core speed boost in Meteor Lake test chip ‘for just moving wires around’-

In a recent blog post Intel has made some bold claims about its new PowerVia technology, and how it’s been performing in Meteor Lake-based test chips, delivering a greater than 5% increase to clock speeds. According to Intel’s Ben Sell, vice pres. of technology development, that puts PowerVia on track for delivery next year along with the Intel 20A process node. 

PowerVia represents a new way to create processors, effectively sandwiching the transistors in the middle of the chip, with the interconnects to the outside world on the front and the power wiring on the back. This so-called backside power delivery is a big shift in semiconductor manufacturing and at once simplifies, complicates, and alleviates issues with the ever-shrinking of transistors and processors.

PowerVia is going to be first sampled in the upcoming Arrow Lake generation of Intel processors (presumably 15th Gen Core) which is due in 2024 on the Intel 20A production process. But in order to speed up…

It looks like modding tools for Cities- Skylines 2 are still several months away-

Like cutting the red tape on a six-lane gravel highway, the launch of Cities: Skylines 2 has been both huge and rough. While undoubtedly offering an improved core experience over the original, the game’s performance issues were so severe that Colossal Order started warning about them before the game came out. Moreover, certain core features you’d hope to see on release, were either unfinished or just plain missing.

One of the most requested features for Cities: Skylines 2 is modding tools, as Skylines is just one of those games that players just love to tinker with. The good news is that modding tools are coming. The bad news is it’s likely to be a few more months before we see them.

In Colossal Order’s latest “Word of the week” blog, CEO Mariina Hallikainen laid out the studio’s plans for implementing modding into the game. At present, she says “The Editor currently includes only maps and support for code modding, and we’re looking forward to getting those ready for an …

Immersive sim Consortium delisted to make way for a remaster, free to owners of the original-

In his deep dive on the history of the best immersive sims, Rick Lane called 2014’s Consortium “a dynamic murder mystery that takes place inside a giant military plane” that was “rather rough around the edges”. Some of those edges are about to be sanded smooth, with indie developer Interdimensional Games announcing via Steam blog post that it’s developing Consortium Remastered.

“The original Source Engine build of CONSORTIUM has now officially been retired”, Interdimensional Games wrote, before explaining the beta of Consortium Remastered is available to anyone who obtained the original before it was delisted. Here’s how to access it in Steam:

  • 1) Right click on CONSORTIUM 2014 and click “Properties”
  • 2) Click on Betas
  • 3) Enter the following password into the field: 4Owners0fCons0rtium0nly

Consortium’s hook is that you’re basically playing Quantum Leap. You the player are hurled into the year 2024 to take over the body of Bishop Six, an off…
