Tesla has revealed a refresh to its Model S electric sports car that features an on-board GPU that rivals both the Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5.The Models S is getting the first refresh the line has seen since its inception in 2012, which mostly includes improvements to things you'd expect to find in a car: updated interior and exterior designs, a better powertrain, and greater mileage. What is both very new and very out of place is the Tesla Arcade, which now features 10 teraflops of processing performance for gaming.Games have been included with Tesla models in the past, most notably Cuphead, but this is in another ballpark. The promotional images show off a carousel that features games like The Witcher 3, Stardew Valley, and more. Tesla founder Elon Musk also tweeted saying that the new Model S will support Cyberpunk 2077. CD Projekt Red also benefitted from Musk's tweets recently, seeing a massive share price hike.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

"Okay, so that's the Crow, and he's the guy who killed Cayde-6, and it's a really big deal that he's back and that we're working with him--because we murdered him," I explained, somewhat breathless, over the Discord voice chat filled with four of my oldest friends. "You really should play Forsaken before this."Nobody said anything for a few long moments as I thought about what other story elements of Destiny 2 might be relevant to the mission we were about to run. As I thought about it, two things dawned on me. First, that anything I could tell them about Destiny would be relevant because their introduction to the story and the world was so thin. Second, that they probably didn't care.When Bungie released Beyond Light, the latest expansion to Destiny 2, it added new content to the game while removing a whole lot of old content. Several major in-game destinations were "vaulted," ostensibly because Destiny 2's install size was getting too big and because those areas of the game were getting too little attention, both from the developers and from players. But because of that, tons of old missions are now gone from Destiny 2--like the vanilla campaign that introduces you to the world and its characters.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Call of Duty Warzone's notorious stim glitch has reared its head a fourth time, allowing players to cheat the system and survive in the deadly storm to come out on top. But this one is slightly different from previous iterations.Calling what players have been experiencing this time around a glitch isn't exactly right, but the effects are basically the same: players who exploit it are able to heal infinitely while hiding in the storm, leaving them the sole survivors of a match.If you want to pull the glitch off yourself, we won't tell you how to do it, but know that you'll need a lot of in-game currency to do it. Rather than an actual glitch, this method relies on exploiting loopholes in legal gameplay mechanics by finding ways to rapidly complete Contracts and earn a ton of in-game cash to spend on Munitions Boxes. This isn't a clearly defined coding flaw, so it's not like the past versions of the stim glitch we've seen before, which relied on portions of the game's code that could be exploited.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Note: This post contains some light spoilers for Hitman 3, so read on at your own risk.Thanks to early looks at Hitman 3, we knew its second mission included a full-on murder mystery that takes place in an English manor, nestled right in the middle of your own intentions to commit a murder. What we didn't know was just how intricate that mystery would be--or how much detail it would include about the family at the center of it all.Though the last three Hitman games tell a tale of intrigue of their own, that story is mostly relegated to moments in between missions, providing loose reasoning to venture to each of its massive, dense locations. At Thornbridge Manor in Hitman 3, you're looking to eliminate matriarch Alexa Carlisle because she's a part of the Illuminati-like organization known as Providence. That's enough to get you through the mansion's door, but the story within it is a self-contained glimpse at Alexa and her family, and it mostly exists just to help you learn when you can get a chance to take Alexa out without being seen.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com
