"Don't shoot!"

We can't stop chatting with random players in ARC Raiders. But how did Embark Studios create the magic behind proximity chat?

More from our interview with design director Virgil Watkins:

I love speaking to strangers in ARC Raiders, especially because of this overlooked feature
Chatting with random bandits in ARC Raiders is an experience you may be missing out on, so I spoke to Embark Studios about making it happen.

I sat down with Embark Studios/design director Virgil Watkins to chat about ARC Raiders last week. We had an ace discussion, and this is a small taste of more to come!

I've been hands-on with the ROG Xbox Ally X for the last two weeks, after testing it at Gamescom. I'm very conflicted about it, as the Z1e model is still fantastic - and far cheaper.

Here's my review for @pockettactics.com

ROG Xbox Ally X review - good, but not $999 worth of greatness
The ROG Xbox Ally X arrives with a new form factor and beefier specs, but it isn't enough of an upgrade to justify the hefty asking price.

Every season of #TheFinals brings me closer to more Matrix-style character builds, thanks Embark

007 First Light pulls from poetry and art to craft James Bond, not just Daniel Craig and Roger Moore

There's some really neat touches I already love about Patrick Gibson's Bond in First Light. Touching his earpiece for comms, scrappy fighting, relegated to sitting out missions.

You can see the charisma and defiance simmering underneath the surface. Can't wait to see more of him

I have been absolutely dying to talk about #007FirstLight since I saw it at Gamescom

I'm gonna say it: IO Interactive may have the best #JamesBond game ever on its hands

I also got to chat with the game's senior producer and art director, which you can check out below

Properly loving the latest #NoMansSky update. Searching for the perfect planet to call home with the squad? Bliss

Cronos is really gnarly from what I played at Gamescom. Just slimy David Cronenberg type beats. Here's part of my chat with Bloober Team below 👇
