Unsanctioned GTA Online modding platform Rage:MP is shutting down thanks to a cease and desist from Take-Two
As it currently stands, it's a bit unclear how Rockstar are planning to approach multiplayer with GTA 6. It seems that GTA Online will continue to run even after the impending sequel launches, but beyond that who really knows. What is clear is that Rockstar and their publisher Take-Two are still pretty committed to GTA Online and its ecosystem, given that they've now apparently sent a cease and desist to the popular modding and roleplay platform Rage:MP.

Review: 007 First Light Is A Technical Standout on PS5 and PS5 Pro
Despite some image quality concerns on base PS5.James Bond's latest outing in 007 First Light is by far the most technically accomplished release in the franchise's turbulent history, much closer to the triumphs of Goldeneye than the uninspiring 007 Legends. Running on IO Interactive's Glacier Engine, the game also showcases a welcome advancement over the base-level tech that defined Hitman 3 in 2021. The presentation does vary significantly depending on whether you're playing on base PS5 or PS5 Pro, but it's clear that the time spent over the past five years have been well invested.The most striking feature is in the game's diffuse indirect lighting, with a new software ray-traced global illumination (RTGI) solution that marries screen-space tracing with a probe-based fallback using SDFs. This results in a pleasing presentation with attractive bounce lighting and considerable depth. However, the reliance on screen-space information for higher-frequency lighting can cause lighting information to drop out, producing distracting visual artefacts at times.Read the full article on digitalfoundry.net

RIP: After 20 Years, It's Time to Say Goodbye to the Nvidia Control Panel
Press F to pay respects.New Nvidia drivers have landed, bringing compatibility for 007 First Light, Lego Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight, F1 25: 2026 Season Pack and World of Tanks: Heat. More importantly though, these drivers also mark the retirement of a PC gaming legend: the Nvidia Control Panel.Following a fresh installation of Game Ready Driver 610.47, you'll find the familiar Control Panel shortcut when right-clicking on the desktop has been removed. Instead, all of the features have made their way to the redesigned Nvidia app, which is admittedly a lot more capable and visually modern than its predecessor. Still, it feels weird not seeing that option pop up in the right click menu, even if Windows 11 hid it behind a "show more options" menu option anyway.Read the full article on digitalfoundry.net

Remedy's new CEO doesn't want to "change the DNA" of the Control studio, but he does still think their games "could give a lot more"
Back in February, Remedy appointed Jean-Charles Gaudechon as its new CEO following last year's FBC: Firebreak flop. This quickly raised some eyebrows given Gaudechon's tenure at EA, a game studio that's had its fair share of controversies over the years thanks to its business practices. After all, Remedy are meant to be this quirky, Finnish game studio that does things their own, weird way, such an appointment felt out of step. But, in a recent interview, Gaudechon made it seem like he's not about to "change the DNA" of a place like Remedy (even if he does still want to bring more money in by expanding in other ways).
