Nvidia has announced a new flagship GPU as part of its RTX 4000 series of graphics cards, the successor to its nearly two-year-old RTX 3000 series.

Using Nvidia's new Ada Lovelace architecture, which uses the third-generation DLSS, the first GPU is the GeForce RTX 4090, which includes 24GB of G6X memory and is claimed to be two to four times faster than the RTX 3090 Ti, Nvidia's previous flagship GPU. The RTX 4090 will cost $1599 and will be released on October 12th.

The RTX 4080 was also announced and includes two memory configurations: 12GB and 16GB. The RTX 4080 is claimed to be two to four times faster than the RTX 3080 Ti. While no release date was given to the RTX 4080 GPUs, Nvidia says the cards will release sometime in November. The RTX 4080 with 12GB of G6X memory will retail for $899 while the 16GB variant will cost $1,199.

During the presentation, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang went into extensive detail about the RTX 40's new graphical architecture. Huang notes that the Ada architecture features third-generation RTX, which boasts new features, including real-time path tracing as well as the third generation of Deep Learning Super Sampling (DLSS). DLSS 3 is reportedly capable of generating additional frames and boosting game performance by up to two times.

The alleged hacker that leaked around 90 videos of Grand Theft Auto 6 and also targeted Uber is being investigated by the FBI.

As reported by Eurogamer, the hacker who claimed responsibility also said they were behind the major cyber attack suffered by Uber on September 18. The taxi company has since released a blog post that announced it is actively working with the FBI and the U.S. Department of Justice to resolve the matter.

Acknowledging that Rockstar had also suffered a breach, Uber said it believes the hacker is associated with Lapsus$, the group behind recent attacks on Nvidia, Microsoft, and Samsung.

"We believe that this attacker (or attackers) are affiliated with a hacking group called Lapsus$, which has been increasingly active over the last year or so," Uber said. "This group typically uses similar techniques to target technology companies, and in 2022 alone has breached Microsoft, Cisco, Samsung, Nvidia and Okta, among others.

"There are also reports over the weekend that this same actor breached video game maker Rockstar Games. We are in close coordination with the FBI and U.S. Department of Justice on this matter and will continue to support their efforts."

Rockstar had been keeping GTA 6 under wraps, having only announced the game in February this year, but footage showing robberies, gunplay, fully voiced conversations, and more appeared on GTAForums last week. The footage all but confirms the rumours that GTA 6 will feature male and female protagonists and a Vice City setting.

Seven British individuals aged 16 to 21 were arrested in relation to the Lapsus$ attacks back in March, not long after the group hacked Microsoft and Nvidia.

Rockstar has promised more information on GTA 6 is coming soon, but there's no telling as to when the developer will have a full reveal for the game. Just like its eventual launch, GTA 6 will only be shown when its ready.

Lord of the Rings star Orlando Bloom has joined the Gran Turismo movie, along with Never Have I Ever star Darren Barnet.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the 45-year-old actor has joined Gran Turismo – the upcoming video game adaptation by director Neill Blomkamp. Bloom will reportedly play a “hungry” marketing executive who is selling the sport of motor racing… “and just may believe in its art, too.”

Additionally, Never Have I Ever star Darren Barnet has joined the cast as competition for the young racer, as a driver who is “ranked at the top at the GT academy, who is not thrilled to see the upstart teen excel.”

According to the latest report, Gran Turismo will begin filming this week in Hungary.

The Gran Turismo film is based on a true story that sees a teenage Gran Turismo player step up to become a real professional race car driver after winning a series of competitions. It seems to be based on the story of Jann Mardenborough – a British driver who began competing in events such as the F3 European Championship after winning the GT Academy reality show at 19 years old.

The teen driver will be played by Archie Madekwe. David Harbour is on board as a former driver who teaches the upcoming teen everything he knows.

The latest Gran Turismo game was released earlier this year. IGN’s Gran Turismo 7 review gave it 9/10 and said: “On the eve of the series’ 25th birthday, Gran Turismo 7 is more than just a celebration of cars this time around; in some ways, it’s also a celebration of itself... It’s the best the series has been since its dominant PlayStation 2 era.”

The Gran Turismo move has been written by Jason Hall and Zach Baylin. It's due to hit theaters on August 11, 2023.

Doctor Sleep director Mike Flanagan has revealed there was almost another Shining sequel after Doctor Sleep.

Appearing on Twitter, the 44-year-old filmmaker revealed that The Shining almost got another sequel, but Warner Bros. turned it down because Doctor Sleep didn't meet box office expectations.

“We were SO CLOSE,” he said. “I’ll always regret this didn’t happen." Asked by a fan why it didn't happen, Flanagan added, "Because of Doctor Sleep’s box office performance, Warner Bros opted not to proceed with it. They control the rights, so that was that.”

Doctor Sleep debuted in 2019 – a direct sequel to the classic 1980 Stanley Kubrick film, The Shining. It tells the story of Danny Torrance – Jack’s son from the first movie. Now grown up (and played by Ewan McGregor) he struggles with his supernatural gift and the trauma of his past until becoming a popular orderly at a local hospice, using his powers to comfort dying patients and earning him the titular nickname, Doctor Sleep.

Unfortunately, the film was something of a disappointment at the box office, earning $72 million worldwide, after being made on a $45 million budget. Now, it looks as though Warner Bros. chosen not to take another roll of the dice when it came to a potential sequel.

Flanagan, who also wrote the Doctor Sleep script, is also known for another Stephen King adaptation after bringing Gerald’s Game to Netflix. His adaptation was met with critical success, with King himself calling the film “hypnotic, horrifying and terrific”.

IGN’s Doctor Sleep review gave it 8.5/10 and said: “When it’s focusing on the new things it brings to the table, Doctor Sleep is consistently terrifying, visually impressive, and soulful in equal measure. Though it may get a little heavy-handed and tonally confused in its reverence for Stanley Kubrick’s Shining in the homestretch, the vast majority of the film succeeds in using the Torrance family’s pain to tell a story of coming to terms with the past."

What to Expect From the Nvidia GTC 2022 Keynote

The main thing we're expecting to see from the Nvidia keynote today is the new RTX 40 series GPUs. While we haven't gotten any official confirmation from the company that the new graphics cards will be unveiled, recent leaks and comments from the CEO suggest this is what we'll see tomorrow. Nvidia will be most likely be unveiling the RTX 4090 and atleast two other cards from the 40 series line.

Although we are mostly expecting to see the RTX 40 series GPUs unveiled, there's a chance the company will announce more than just that. Nvidia has been teasing something called Project Beyond on Twitter over the past few weeks. These teasers have been rather vague, but in a recent earnings call, Nvidia stated that it is planning to reach new segments of the market.

It's possible that Project Beyond is just a codename for the next-gen GPUs, but it seems more likely that this will be a surprise announcement outside of the RTX 40 series.

The highly anticipated Chainsaw Man anime series finally has a release date, with episode one arriving on October 11.

Announced on its official Twitter account, the release date came alongside a new trailer for the series (below) and confirmation that it would run for 12 episodes in total. The first episode will also be available for streaming on Crunchyroll.

Chainsaw Man - a beloved manga series about a teenage devil hunter who's brought back from the dead with chainsaws for hands - is one of the most anticipated anime adaptations of this year. Its page on the online manga and anime database My Anime List already has more than 500,000 members and its release date announcement tweet hit 100,000 likes in just 26 minutes.

Details on the anime's opening and closing themes were also released, with Kenshi Yonezu performing the opener and the credits featuring a different soundtrack in each episode, played by artists including Maximum the Hormone, Ano, People 1, and more.

As evidenced in this new and previous trailer, Chainsaw Man is as violent and gory as any anime about a chainsaw man could be.

Crunchyroll's chief content officer Asa Suehira said previously that it features "dark humour, dynamic characters and a sharp story," and that "anime fans will be up all night thinking about the spectacular visuals and high-octane action."

Grand Theft Auto developer Rockstar Games has confirmed that the GTA 6 leaks that appeared online yesterday, September 18, are real, but development will not be affected as a result.

Rockstar published a statement to Twitter (below), saying the "early development footage" was illegally taken from its systems following a network intrusion and its disappointed to have its new game shared for the first time this way.

A Message from Rockstar Games pic.twitter.com/T4Wztu8RW8

— Rockstar Games (@RockstarGames) September 19, 2022

"We recently suffered a network intrusion in which an unauthorised third party illegally accessed and downloaded confidential information from our systems, including early development footage for the next Grand Theft Auto," the statement reads.

"We are extremely disappointed to have any details of our next game shared with you all in this way. Our work on the next Grand Theft Auto game will continue as planned and we remain as committed as ever to delivering an experience to you, our players, that truly exceeds your expectations.

"We will update everyone again soon and, of course, will properly introduce you to this next game when it is ready. We want to thank everyone for their ongoing support through this situation."

Close to 100 different videos of the game were shared online anonymously showing robberies, gunplay, fully voiced conversations, and more. The footage all but confirms the rumours that GTA 6 will feature male and female protagonists and a Vice City setting.

While Rockstar has promised more information soon, there's no telling as to when the developer will have a full reveal for the game as, just like its eventual launch, GTA 6 will only be shown when its ready. It was only announced this year, of course, but as it's been almost a decade since GTA 5 was released, fans are eager for more.

Grand Theft Auto 6 isn't the only highly anticipated game to leak in the last few days as footage from an early version of Diablo 4 has now appeared online.

As reported by PC Gamer, Reddit user iV1rus0 spotted two videos uploaded anonymously to a file sharing website, one containing five minutes of Diablo 4 footage and the other 38 minutes.

It's unclear at what stage of development the footage is from, but given that several models within the game world are untextured, it is clearly far from a finished product.

A lot of the game does appear to be functional, however, and the videos show what appears to be a Barbarian character exploring the world and battling enemies. Blizzard hasn't yet released a statement regarding the leak but IGN has reached out to the developer for comment.

Diablo 4 is expected to be released in 2023 and Blizzard has been fairly vocal about its development progress, releasing quarterly updates on what players can expect from the action RPG. While it will only include five classes at launch, the developer has already confirmed that Diablo 4 will receive years of DLC.

Diablo's leak appeared around the same time as dozens of videos of what seems to be GTA 6 also appeared online, showing robberies, gunplay, fully voiced conversations, and more.

Elden Ring is getting a board game adaptation, thanks to a collaboration between Bandai Namco and Steamforged Games. Bandai Namco, the publisher of Elden Ring, and board game developer Steamforged previously worked together on a Dark Souls board game, and Steamforged has also created adaptations of Horizon, Resident Evil, Monster Hunter, and more.

According to Steamforged, the board game's Kickstarter campaign will launch very soon. We don't know quite yet exactly how the board game will play, but it will support between 1 and 4 Tarnished players visiting iconic locations of Elden Ring's giant world, The Lands Between.

Players will also face off against enemies and bosses from the game, with "dice-free combat, requiring players to strategise and adapt their plans during each encounter". The announcement said players will have to deal with foes including a "lowly Godrick Soldier or the Grafted King himself."

Back in 2018, Steamforged Games' Dark Souls board game reached its Kickstarter funding goal in just three minutes. We'll have to wait and see if Elden Ring can break that record, given how ridiculously fast the game itself has sold this year.

This isn't the only adaptation of FromSoftware's smash hit we've seen recently. Earlier this month, Elden Ring got an official manga with a comedic slant on the Tarnished and The Lands Between.

Elden Ring has easily been the most-discussed game of 2022. We awarded it a 10 in our review, and Elden Ring also tops our lists of both the best PlayStation 5 games and the best Xbox Series X|S games. Elden Ring also became a Twitch phenomenon thanks in part to the iconic player, Let Me Solo Her.
