Resident Evil 5 Finally Adds Split-Screen Co-Op For PC

After 14 years, Resident Evil 5 has received a Steam patch removing Games for Windows Live while also implementing split-screen co-op, finally letting you play it locally with your friends and family. As reported by Euro Game r, this out-of-left-field update has both bewildered and excited fans, with many jumping to the update's discussion thread to comment. One user said, "Yo, who is the rogue Capcom employee that cared enough to fix this port 14 years later?" Another said, "Holy crap, they updated this old Game ? Good on them". RELATED: I Hope Resident Evil 4 Remake Gives Ada Wong The Respect She Deserves The update notes are simple enough, "Removed Game s for Windows Live support. Will support local split screen co-op. Some other minor bug fixes." It's unclear why this has been done after so long, but it's a welcome fix, as GFWL has long been discontinued and, when enabled, can lock you out of entire parts of Game s....

Federal agencies to improve web access for those with disabilities, seniors, veterans – Herb Weiss

Image
By Herb Weiss, contributing writer on aging issues After Sen. Bob Casey (D-PA) introduced on March 20, 2020, the bipartisan Department of Veterans Affairs Website Accessibility Act with Sen. Jerry Moran (R-KS) and Rep. Elaine Luria (D-VA), the legislative proposal to enhance web access passed both chambers to ultimately be signed into law nine months later by President Donald Trump. The new law directed the U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs (VA) to report to Congress regarding the accessibility of VA websites to people with disabilities. Casey calls for better website technology  On Dec. 20, 2022, Casey released Unlocking the Virtual Front Door, a 72-page report detailing the findings of an 11-month investigation that found widespread failure across the federal government to ensure that website technology is accessible for people with disabilities, seniors, and veterans. The investigators identified the absence of U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) reporting ...

Minecraft Steve Is Officially Super Smash Bros. Ultimate's Best Character

With a whopping 89 different playable characters to choose from, debates surrounding who the best character in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is will likely rage on until the next Game comes out. However, a large group of pro players have come together in an attempt to create the Game 's first official tier list, ranking every single character and how viable they are in Game . UltRank reached out to 155 Smash Bros. Ultimate players who featured on several top 101 leaderboards across the globe, with 71 choosing to participate. These players were then asked for their opinions on different characters and told to give them a rank, as well as a top five list of characters they considered to be the best. While only 73 percent of these players ranked every character, almost everyone ranked three quarters of them, leading to the first "official" tier list that you can find embedded below.

Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm Connections (or Naruto x Boruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm Connections if you want to run out of breath) has been announced at Sony's February State of Play, although it's not a new Ultimate Ninja Storm game and instead compiles content from the whole series, along with some new characters and modes. Towards the end of last year, Bandai Namco trademarked Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm Connections, leading everyone to believe that a brand-new Game in the series was coming at some point. Today, Bandai Namco finally revealed Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm Connections, although it's more of a compilation than a new Game .

Call Of Duty On Switch Will Run "The Way People Would Expect"

Microsoft's president has said that Call of Duty games on the Switch will "work exactly the way people would expect", which has some worried that they'll be lesser ports. Yesterday, before a meeting with Sony and the European Commission regarding its proposed acquisition of Activision Blizzard, Microsoft announced that it signed a 10-year deal with Nintendo to bring Call of Duty Game s to its consoles. This was clearly a move to show that Microsoft was fine with the series being on rival systems, but now that it's happening Call of Duty fans are wondering what the series is going to look like on Nintendo's lower-powered consoles.

A luxurious, nuclear-powered flying hotel won’t be concerned about landing in the middle of nowhere

Image
A CGI video details the concept of an AI-driven Sky Cruise hotel-plane model that can stay airborne for months, and land to pick up passengers anywhere. This futuristic combination of plane and hotel has up to 20 electric motors powered by nuclear fusion and is designed to be able to fly without landing. The person who came up with the idea said that the plane will not emit carbon emissions. Theoretically, this flying hotel will never run out of fuel and can stay in the air for several years without touching the ground. Hashem Alghaili, who created an extremely detailed simulation of this interesting aircraft, said that nuclear-powered sky travel “could be the future of transportation”. Designed to operate 24/7, Alghaili even adds that repairs will be carried out on-board, which is unprecedented in the aviation industry. When asked how many people it would take to fly this huge plane, he said:  “With all this technology and you still want a pilot? I believe it’s comple...

Who is Mac McClung? Former high school phenom breaks out as 2023 Slam Dunk champion at NBA All-Star weekend

Image
Mac McClung was regarded as a bit of an odd choice to headline the 2023 NBA Slam Dunk Contest on Saturday night. The 24-year-old guard has played in only two NBA Game s, neither of which came this season. When his participation was announced, fans even mocked the league for failing to convince bigger stars to the once proud event. Well, nobody's laughing now. McClung stole the show with one of the best Slam Dunk performances in recent memory. Four attempts. Four dunks. Three perfect scores. One trophy. In one night, a player many viewers had never heard of managed to join the ranks of Kobe Bryant, Vince Carter and Michael Jordan in the dunk contest history books. But who is? Let's dive into the life and career of Mac McClung, the G-Leaguer-turned Slam Dunk champion . So why was McClung here in the first place? McClung may not have proven himself as an NBA player, but his credentials as a dunker are well-...

The four worst jet fighter designs ever created

Image
There will always be a debate over what were the “best” jet fighter planes to head off into the wild blue yonder – but context must be considered. A German Messerschmitt Me 262 would hardly hold its own against an F-4 Phantom, while it is hard to compare, a Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-15 is no match for a Lockheed Martin F-22 Raptor. However, when it comes to the “worst” jet fighters, it is a little easier to narrow the list down. Whereas an aircraft may have excelled for its time, nothing can resolve the shortcomings.  Messerschmitt Me-163 Komet Technically not a jet fighter, the Me 163 was truly a cutting-edge aircraft. As the planned jet engine meant the Komet was still years away, its designers fitted it with a Walter HWK 109 rocket motor. It was faster than anything else in the skies over Europe in the final nine months of the Second World War, yet it should be seen as a wasted effort. The aircraft didn’t save Germany from near round-the-clock bombing from the Allies, bu...

Gameplay Of Cancelled Dead Rising Game Emerges Online

The Dead Rising series has been presumed dead after the fourth installment. It's unclear why exactly Capcom made this decision, but we can only assume that it was because the devs couldn't find a way to freshen up the same formula. However, it wasn't for a lack of trying. It seems that a fifth Dead Rising project was in the works, and there's even Game play footage of it. Dead Rising: Dia De Los Muertos was cancelled for an unknown reason, but one of the devs that worked on it has used the Game 's footage in their portfolio. First spotted by STiP0, a familiar name in the Dead Rising community, the developer's portfolio reveals a few clips of early design, as well as some Game play. The protagonist looks like a younger version of series mainstay Chuck Greene, leading to the theory that this was supposed to be a prequel set in Mexico. Besides running around and pummeling zombies with anything he can get his hands on, Chuck can also be seen attacking an enemy...
