Alienware showed us a brand-new, really out-there gamepad prototype at CES this year, and the more I read about this wacky thing, the more I think Alienware should just make the Steam Controller 2.
Valve is looking for a partner! The two companies already have history! It won’t have to look like an Xbox ripoff!
Just please, make sure it has a great gyro.
My favorites are The Travel Suitcase and the Japanese Castle, though I’d be happy with many of them! Here’s the full list.
Don’t get your hopes up for a Zelda castle or the house from Up, as Lego has repeatedly rejected designs like those before. And since Lego’s new Jazz Club already has a pizza parlor, I’m afraid the amazing Modular Arcade might not make the cut.
Nvidia just announced GeForce Now will soon let you rent the power of an RTX 4080... but not everywhere. The fine print sez it’ll roll out servers in North America and Europe from January to May — but the top-flight GPUs “are not or will not be available in all data centers.”
If you don’t see the words “RTX 4080” in your region on this official status page by May, you may be out of luck.
Brent Rose, noted friend of The Verge, got to check out the Moonwalkers. I’ve gotta admit I laughed at their original Kickstarter campaign, but these seem pretty fun and better thought out than I expected! I thought Brent would eat it for sure.
It’s been an entire year since I’ve thought about charging my wireless gaming mouse — ever since my bro-in-law bought me this amazing mousepad. While it rarely ever goes on sale, you can find it for $20 off today at Amazon, Best Buy, Newegg, and Logitech. It works with the G502, G502 X, G703, G903, G Pro Wireless, and G Pro X Superlight.
(We may get commission if you buy via those links. While I think it’s obvious I just really like this product, here’s our ethics statement too.)
I don’t know anyone who’s played Dishonored who didn’t love it — there are many good reasons it racked up game-of-the-year awards in 2012. Now, the Definitive Edition for PC, with all the DLC, is free on the Epic Games Store until 1/5 at 8am.
If you liked Deathloop, this is its spiritual predecessor. Also, please go play Prey. They’re all made by Arkane.
