It looks like Valve may be working on a second VR headset as a successor to the Index, and this time it seems to be targeting a standalone, wireless model that'd work more like on Oculus Quest or Oculus Quest 2. Hints that the company that owns Steam is working on this new hardware initially came from YouTuber Brad Lynch who found multiple references in Valve’s SteamVR code “Deckard” – a nice, sci-fi codename for the theoretical headset.

Id, as promised, has released the source code for Doom 3. A delay was threatened when tech director John Carmack recently tweeted that lawyers for Bethesda were "skittish about the patent issue" with a trick called Carmack's Reverse that was used in the full game, but the law, quite clearly, is an ass. It's now available from GitHub. Get to it. Thanks, Gamefront. ncG1vNJzZmivp6x7t7ORbW5nm5%2BifKW7zqZkbGWjpMKzr8RmmqiclWKut63IpZibpJViu7DD

Who says unlock screens can't be fun? When using the Nintendo Switch in handheld (portable) mode, the console acts a bit like a phone or tablet. The lock screen is part of this, and though it functions similarly to others on iOS or Android, it's also got the Nintendo touch. There's a bit of an Easter egg in here. Any of the buttons you press to unlock the screen make a standard sound, but only four of them play some cool and different sounds when pressed.

A clip from Heavy Rain, showing the infamous scene where Madison strips at gunpoint for a nightclub owner, has surfaced over on D'toid - which compares the scene to Jamie Lee Curtis' in True Lies. Unlike True Lies, this scene is not meant to be sexy. If you have not seen it, well, like a lot of games lately, it shows her identical lady bits as the nightclub owner gets out of his chair to go grab her ass.

The Genshin Impact version 2.7 livestream has just concluded. In it, all the new content, characters, and limited time events that we can expect on May 31 when the update goes live. Titled Hidden Dreams in the Depths, it looks as though we’ll be headed back into The Chasm for some additional story dealing with the mysteries down there. For those who missed the stream, or just want a recap on everything that was shown off, we’ve created this Genshin Impact version 2.

Game Freak is treating Pokemon Ultra Sun and Moon as the “culmination" of the series on Nintendo 3DS. Pokemon Ultra Sun and Moon will be the last core title in the series for 3DS due to the game having pushed the "absolute limits" of the handheld system. Considering the story volume in Ultra Sun and Moon is twice that of Sun and Moon, saying 3DS was pushed to its limits with the updated version doesn't sound far-fetched.

Sea of Thieves doesn’t hold your hand - it just throws you out into the world, tells you how to shove a banana into your face, and lets you get on with it. You might even spawn onto the starting island in your first game only to find your ship is nowhere to be seen. Let VG247 talk you through the structure so you can set sail with confidence. Sea of Thieves - dude, where’s my ship?
