'I don't think of art as prophecy': David Cronenberg says eXistenZ wasn't about predicting modern gaming, but if it did, 'that's lovely'

1 week ago | pcgamer.com | Tyler Wilde

Horror luminary David Cronenberg's films are all thematically related, but 1983's Videodrome and 1999's eXistenZ feel especially like a diptych. Videodrome is about the virtual reality created by televised mass media ("television is reality, and reality is less than television") and eXistenZ is about an immersive VR game that erodes the realness of the world in a more explicit way.

1 day agoSorry, Vision Pro, but I wore the new Xreal One Pro glasses to cover Apple's show live this year. And yeah, they passed the test. On a bright sunny day in Cupertino, California, I crammed into my seat, unlocked my laptop, connected to Wi-Fi and checked in on Slack. Apple's WWDC keynote was about to …

10 years later, no one has replicated Rocket League's mojo

Tyler Wilde, US EICThis week: Published a preview of Borderlands 4 (it seems alright!) and listened to classic Debbie Deb single "Lookout Weekend" several times. Rocket League released July 7, 2015, and with its big 10th birthday around the corner, Psyonix has dedicated the latest season to celebrating the milestone. Has it been that long already?

An orange Rocket League car with flaming horns on the top. (Image credit: Future)This week: Published a preview of Borderlands 4 (it seems alright!) and listened to classic Debbie Deb single "Lookout Weekend" several times. I've shamefully been letting my rocket-powered battle car collect rust so far this year, but I used to play Rocket League almost daily, finding my niche in the Snow Day mode, which replaces the soccer ball with a puck (a superior sports object).
Borderlands 4 hands-on: Yeah, it's just 'more Borderlands,' but Gearbox's consistency is respectable and there's a cool hoverbike

There are no big surprises here: Borderlands 4 is more Borderlands. But if you're all extraction-shootered-out and a regular old co-op campaign is what you're looking for (I can sympathize), then I think you've got something to look forward to. Specifically: a big world, some fun new movement abilities, a cool hover bike, and fewer pop culture gags (at least so they say!).

I've played 2 hours of MindsEye and it's not great so far, I'm afraid

Tyler Wilde, US EICThis week: Aside from not really enjoying two hours of MindsEye, I've been working on a preview of another notable upcoming shooter in between Summer Game Fest showcases. MindsEye doesn't really look like the kind of game that'd be highly anticipated in 2025—the trailers make me think of 2010s Call of Duty campaigns more than anything—so at first I felt confused by what seemed to be some buzz around it.

If High on Life 2's skateboard shooting is as fun as they make it look in the trailer, I can tolerate wisecracking guns

HIGH ON LIFE 2 Official Trailer | Xbox Games Showcase 2025 - YouTubeWatch On High on Life's yapping alien guns were not to everyone's taste (we gave it a 40% in our review), and although the sequel revealed today at the Xbox Games Showcase still features big-mouthed firearms (how could it not?), the trailer focused much more on fancy skateboarding and fast shooting.

Something curious I covered the other day: A company now has FDA clearance to treat stress with videogames that use its biofeedback SDK. It wants to connect game developers to the healthcare economy—ie, your insurance could one day cover videogames. https://t.co/tw0cbO8M4F

Was walking along a road by a marsh by the ocean in Pescadero, CA and encountered these fliers stapled to telephone poles. https://t.co/hYPVgyVbrn
