News Delta emulator creators had to change their logo - after threats from Adobe

Delta emulator
The creators of the Delta emulator abandoned the former logo after Adobe threatened them with legal problems. This was reported by the developers of the program, as noted by The Verge.

According to the authors of Delta, at first Adobe sent a letter in which they gently hinted that the logo should be changed. The next day, however, the company sent a more aggressive warning that the application "may be at risk" because it violates Adobe's intellectual property rights.

Delta's developers said that their logo is simply a stylized Greek letter "delta" that has nothing to do with Adobe products. Nevertheless, the creators of the emulator decided to change the icon to avoid possible problems.

The creators of Delta have already changed the logo of the emulator in the App Store. According to them, for now it is a temporary option, which will soon be replaced with another one.

Rumor Data miner: Valve's next game is a heroic third-person PvP shooter

Valve's next game is a heroic third-person PvP shooter
Data miner and insider under the nickname Gabe Follower has shared details about Valve's next game. Previously, he has faithfully shared details about the company's products multiple times before the official announcement.
  • The name of the game is Deadlock. It was previously known as Neon Prime and Citadel.
  • Deadlock is a competitive third-person hero shooter. In it, players will fight in a 6-on-6 format on large-scale maps with four lines. Characters will have unique abilities and will be able to use items.
  • Players will be able to quickly move around the map using rails similar to those in Bioshock Infinite. You will need to move in order to defend buildings, as the game will have tower defense mechanics.
  • Valve is creating a game in a fantasy setting mixed with steampunk. Deadlock will feature "strange magical creatures" as well as robots.
  • Originally, the game was supposed to feature sci-fi elements in the vein of Half-Life and Portal. However, after bad feedback from testers, Valve abandoned them and focused on fantasy.
  • Dataminer called Deadlock a mix of Dota 2, Team Fortress 2, Overwatch, Valorant, Smite and Orcs Must Die. The game will feature dynamic and even somewhat chaotic gameplay.
  • When creating characters, the developers were largely inspired by Dota 2.
Data miner did not reveal any information about the possible release date of Deadlock. Other insiders and journalists have not confirmed information about the game yet. Valve has also not made any announcements related to their future projects.

What are your top three non-AAA game recommendations from the last two decades?

I'm feeling a bit tired of games like RDR2 and Cyberpunk. Just to give you an idea, my favorite AAA developers are Fromsoft and Team Ninja. I'm not really into games that are so obscure or niche that they're only good for the sake of being different or nostalgic. Something in between a widely regarded top-tier indie game and a hidden gem sounds about right.

Here are some recent games I've found and loved that fit this criteria:

- Slay The Spire
- Outer Wilds
- OneShot
- Disco Elysium
- SOMA (not sure if it counts as AAA)

News PSP emulator has been released on the App Store

PSP emulator has been released on the App Store
The PPSSPP emulator for iPhone and iPad was officially released on May 15. It is available in the App Store in the standard free version and in the premium Gold version, which costs five dollars. Previously, the utility could only be launched using a jailbreak.

Enthusiast Henrik Rydgård said that the program currently works on Apple mobile devices with some limitations. It does not support:
  • Vulkan in the MoltenVK library,
  • The Magic Keyboard,
  • Synchronization with the RetroAchievements website.
In the future, the author of the emulator will release several updates to fix the shortcomings he listed. He also noted that in most cases, games running in PPSSPP will show good results on iOS and iPadOS - even despite the inability to implement JIT recompilation, which improves performance.

Delta emulator, which supports games for the NES, N64, DS and Game Boy, among others, was previously released on the iPhone. According to media reports, it was downloaded more than three million times in the first few days.

I've never felt this defenseless playing Alien Isolation.

Playing Alien Isolation is incredibly stressful! Even when I walk as slowly as possible and frequently check my tracker to see if the alien is around, it still shows up unexpectedly. I have my flamethrower out, but it’s useless in small spaces because the alien is so quick. Despite the challenges, I still enjoy the experience because it's rare for players to feel this defenseless and have to be so careful about what to do next.
