Meet AMD's newest graphics cards, the AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT and Radeon RX 6800. AMD came out swinging, throwing down the AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT's big specs that includes 72 compute units, 16GB of DDR6 video memory, 2015MHz Game Clock and 2250MHz Boost Clock, and 128MB Infinity Cache. With all this power the AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT aims to deliver 4K gaming at the highest settings. It will compete directly with the Nvidia RTX 3080 and AMD promises its card beats the competition using less power with a maximum TDP of 300W. In benchmarks AMD shows the Radeon RX 6800 XT delivers more frames per second than the Nvidia RTX 3080 in almost every game and you can expect most titles to run at well above 60 fps even at a 4K resolution. The Radeon RX 6800 XT also comes with simple one button overclocking through software called Rage Mode similar to what AMD's Rzyen Master software has done for its processors. Of course, as with AMD's previous Navi graphics cards, there's a regular Radeon RX 6800 underneath its XT variant. The regular RX 6800 brings a little less power with 60 compute units, a 1815Mhz base clock, 2105Mhz boost clock, 16GB of GDDR6 memory, and a 250W TDP. The AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT will be available for $649 and the Radeon RX 6800 costs $579, both cards will release on November 18th. And if you're looking for even more graphics power, AMD also introduced its Big Navi GPU, the Radeon RX 6900.

Raven Software co-founder Brian Raffel has revealed details on the development of the classic shooter, Heretic, including a comment from id Software's John Carmack that helped the team home in on the game's signature style. IGN's Ryan McCaffrey sat down with Raffel to discuss Raven Software's broad history in the latest episode of IGN Unfiltered, along with discussions on Call of Duty: Black Ops: Cold War, Star Wars Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast, Hexen, Heretic, Soldier of Fortune, and more. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2009/03/09/from-hexen-to-wolverine-part-1"] Heretic has long been described as 'medieval Doom' or 'fantasy Doom,' and those are apt descriptions. When asked where the idea for Heretic came from, Raffel said, "The big story there is, [id] wanted to work with us. They wanted to do a fantasy game. It didn't start out to be a 'Doom fantasy.' We started... typical D&D players, we first started designing the game and we got super deep into all this... you know... your Strength, Wisdom... all the usual stuff. And, of course, it's a credit to John Carmack, here. He said, 'Just do it like Doom, and add the fantasy flavor.'" The fantasy setting isn't the only notable departure from the Doom formula, however, as the game's protagonist could also fly, a power Doom Guy could only dream of. "I have to call out Chris Rhinehart, who was one of our programmers at the time. Kind of a funny story about the flying... it's so true, so many of these stories are these 'happy accidents...' Chris came up with the idea of moving the horizon line just up and down. It wasn't a real calculation of flying, it was a hack... That was such a big event for us, and that gave us our unique flavor." [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=call-of-duty-black-ops-cold-war-campaign-screenshots&captions=true"] While Heretic did get several follow-ups, whether they carried the Heretic or Hexen name, Raffel did comment on the possibility of a modern series entry or reboot. "Never say never... We get a lot of requests for it, for sure and, of course, I'd always love to do it. That's for another day, I guess... We'll see." [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2009/03/09/from-hexen-to-wolverine-part-2"] In addition to his roles as Producer and Creative Director, Raffel humorously noted id Software co-founder John Romero bought the team at Raven their first work refrigerator, which was a big deal for them. "People don't understand what game development was back then, but it was five guys in a basement. You go to Sam's Club and get a case of Coke and chips, and you just sat at your desk all day... Those were fun days."

It's "only a matter of time" before an all-female Avengers movie happens, according to Shuri actress Letitia Wright. Speaking to Yahoo Entertainment about her upcoming role in Amazon's Small Axe series, Wright explained that she's been campaigning for an all-female Avengers movie ever since the iconic female team up scene from 2019's Avengers Endgame. There, we saw essentially all of the MCU's superhero women take center stage. Wright wants an entire movie of that. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=marvel-cinematic-universe-every-upcoming-movie-and-tv-show&captions=true"] "I don't think we have to fight for it," Wright said. "Victoria Alonso [Marvel Studios executive vice president] is very strong about spearheading it, alongside [Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige]. It's only a matter of time before they do it." Wright said her ultimate team up would include her Black Panther co-stars Danai Gurira, Lupita Nyong'o, and Angela Basset as Okoye, Nakia, and Ramonda respectively. She also threw Tessa Thompson's Valkyrie into the mix. One guarantee though, according to Wright, is Brie Larson's Captain Marvel. "Definitely have to have Captain Marvel, definitely," Wright said. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2018/02/17/why-the-women-of-wakanda-ruled-black-panther"] During the interview, Wright also touched on how special it is that her Black Panther character, Shuri, has become such an inspiration for women around the world. "It was always a dream of mine to play someone that can be impactful not only for Black women, but also just for women around the world and young people," Wright said. "To be able to have a combination of people and audience members who are so thrilled and appreciative of Shuri is a good feeling. I feel like I contributed something positive in the world." While we're waiting for this all-female Avengers movie, read what Thompson had to say about an-all female Marvel movie and then read what Larson had to say about this possible movie after that. While Feige hasn't said anything publicly about Wright's all-female Avengers pitch, he did say that more female superheroes are coming to the MCU in future movies.

Temtem, the MMO focused on creature-collection that has been on early access on PC since earlier this year, will make its console debut exclusively on PS5 in just a few short weeks. Humble Games and developer Crema have announced that Temtem will come to PS5 in early access on Dec. 8, ahead of any other planned consoles. Preorders are currently available at a discount, which will also allow players to earn an exclusive in-game title and PSN avatars. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=temtem-ps5-screenshots-and-preorder-info&captions=true"] Sony previously highlighted Temtem as part of August's State of Play presentation, and now interested players will only have to wait a few weeks to play on PS5. IGN reviewed Temtem on PC, and at the time we said "What Temtem’s early access version lacks in originality it makes up for by improving upon the creature collection genre with a compelling MMO ecosystem, strategic combat mechanics, and excellent world-building across roughly 30 hours of content."
