Michael Mann’s Ferrari, out Dec. 25, is unsparing in its portrayal of the double life led by the famed race car driver and automotive entrepreneur.

As the biopic shows, Enzo Ferrari (Adam Driver) was married to Laura Garello (Penélope Cruz) for 54 years—until her death in 1978—but their marriage was far from a fairytale partnership. Set in 1957, as Ferrari is leading the motorsports industry, the movie traces how Enzo and Laura’s relationship deteriorates after the death of their 24-year-old son, Dino. The film also details Enzo’s affair with Lina Lardi (Shailene Woodley), with whom he had a son, Piero, who would become the next heir to the Ferrari fortune.

By ending Ferrari with the deadly crash at the 1957 Mille Miglia, the film suggests that Ferarri’s obsession with race car driving came at the expense of his drivers. Here’s the story behind the film.

Who was Enzo Ferrari?

Nvidia has just announced a new games publisher for its GeForce Now cloud streaming service: Bandai Namco, or more specifically Bandai Namco Europe. That’s probably why the first load of games to make it onto the streaming service appear to all be from European developers. Such as Little Nightmares, Little Nightmares II, 11-11 Memories Retold, and Get Even.

Little Nightmares II will also support RTX visuals, but only if you’re signed up to Ultimate and Priority GeForce Now tiers.

That’s another good haul for the game streaming service, which has been gradually winning back favour with major publishers after a few dismissed it early on. Though, I did get excited at the prospect of Elden Ring beamed to my many devices from the cloud only to realise shortly after that it’s not actually coming. Darn. Elden Ring would’ve been a great get for GeForce Now at the game’s launch, but even today I would be pretty keen to play it on my Samsung TV.

Speaking of TVs, there’s good…

Last month Path of Exile 2 was selected as the #9 Most Wanted game in PC Gaming Show: Most Wanted. The sequel to the long-running ARPG Path of Exile is coming soon, and with work on Path of Exile 2 now well underway, we flew to New Zealand to talk to developers at Grinding Gear Games about how they’re approaching a game that needs to be firmly rooted in the original while offering both new players and veterans something fresh and different.

“One of the things I’ve really enjoyed when designing Path of Exile 2 is just being able to surprise team members by the kind of changes we’re willing to do,” game director Jonathan Rogers said. When I suggested, ‘Hey, maybe we should have WASD controls for our characters as well as click-to-move,’ being willing to make those kind of changes to actually make the game better I think is something that’s going to really impress existing players, as well as new players coming to the game who maybe thought they weren’t interested in playing befo…

Counter-Strike recently celebrated its 25th anniversary, and is more popular than ever. The original Half-Life mod became a standalone title after Valve hired co-creators Minh “Gooseman” Le and Jesse “Cliffe” Cliffe, and since then has iterated and grown into the most popular competitive FPS on the planet, with over 30 million monthly players.

It’s an incredible feat of longevity, and the anniversary has brought forth a rare interview with Minh Le, who first began the project all those years ago when he was finishing up at university. Le has previously said it took him around a month and a half to program “beta one” of Counter-Strike, by which time Jesse Cliffe had joined the project to work on other elements including the maps.

Speaking to Norwegian site Spillhistorie.no, Le says the original concept for the game came about the year before he began work on the mod. “I came up with the idea of Counter-Strike in 1998,” says Le. “I was inspired by many of t…

In the words of PCG’s Tyler Colp, Diablo 4 took “a leap in the right direction” with the start of its second season this month, and now it would very much like you to come back and give it a go. That’s why the game is running a free trial until Monday, October 30, giving you a chance to mess around with dang near all of the game on Battle.net during our upcoming spooky weekend.

When I say “dang near all,” I mean it. From what I can tell, the only real restriction on this Diablo 4 free weekend is that your character level will max out at level 20 (rather than the game’s usual max of 100). Aside from that, Blizzard says you’ll have “access to all Diablo 4 content” and that any progress you make will carry over into the proper game if you decide to buy it for real.

And oh, would you look at that? Diablo 4 happens to be 25% off for Halloween. Pretty serendipitous, if you ask me.

Like, I imagine, the vast majority of people reading this, I prefer to keep my games on Ste…

After a surprise early access release yesterday, Hades 2 has already hit over 100,000 concurrent players on Steam, tripling the first game’s record on the platform.

Hades 2 hit 103,567 concurrent players earlier today and is hovering around 100,000, according to SteamDB. Hades 1 only reached 37,749 concurrents in 2020, a few days after its full launch on Steam.

The first Hades is one of our favorite roguelike action RPGs and has won several awards, including a few BAFTAs. But its 2019 early access release was exclusive to the Epic Games Store; it didn’t come to Steam until it was finished. Hades 2, however, is available on both from the start, which helps explain the larger turnout.

All the fans of Hades’ flirty Greek gods and goddesses and satisfying combat are probably showing up, too. And it helps that Hades 2’s early access release is far more complete than I think anyone expected it to be.

Supergiant Games has already spent three years working on it, and…

The next patch for Baldur’s Gate 3 is going to be “a big one” according to a recent tweet from Larian Studios, but sadly we’ll have to wait one whole day longer than we expected. The release of Patch 3 will be pushed from September 21st to September 22nd giving them time to “ensure thorough testing”.

Full Mac support is coming at last and we just learned that it’ll include an appearance-changing mirror, but otherwise it’s unknown what changes the patch will bring. The fact that it is going to be a pretty substantial patch has me holding my eyelids open in anticipation of what else is on the way.

Baldur’s Gate 3 has been a monumental success so far and the continued patches, fixes, and support from Larian are just fuelling the internal (engine) fire we all hold for this game. Despite still having so much to discover myself, the idea of even more to come is making my mouth water.

The consistent updates and mod support provides it with a strong founda…

Diablo general manager Rod Fergusson had some reassuring words for Diablo 4 players concerned that they won’t be able to respec their characters because the cost will be too high: It won’t be.

Respeccing is simply the act of reassigning your character’s skill or ability points because there’s a new meta, or you want to try something different, or you just got bored. In games like Diablo 4, where character builds are central to the experience, a lot of players enjoy being able to experiment: I, for instance, made a barbarian in the Diablo 4 beta who liked to bash heads with a huge hammer; in the second beta weekend, I switched him up to a sword-swinger. (I didn’t like that nearly as much, though, so I switched back.)

In Diablo 4’s early game, respeccing is free, but as your character’s level rises, so does the cost, paid with in-game gold. The Diablo 4 beta capped players at level 25 so it was impossible to see just how expensive it might get at high levels, but in a Nove…
