All motion is relative. That simple fact makes tracking the motion of distant objects outside our galaxy particularly challenging. For example, there has been a debate among astronomers for decades about the path that one of our nearest neighbors, the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), took over the last few billion years. A new paper from Scott Lucchini and Jiwon Jesse Hand from the Harvard Center for Astrophysics grapples with that question by using a unique technique - the paths of hypervelocity stars.

Lets rewind the clock backoh, I dont know, lets say a hundred years.

And they've made a howl-to video.

Having supported The Sims 4 for over a decade now, Maxis' latest and certainly not greatest instalment in the wildly popular life game series still can't match up to its predecessors. Considering EA's pledge to continue long-term support for TS4, rather than developing The Sims 5, a dramatic switch up will need to happen if it's going to stand the test of time. Well, it may finally be happening, as rumors of a Sims 4 remaster are swirling.Read the full story on PCGamesN: The Sims 4 could be getting a remaster, and it could fix its fortunes if done right

Of all the people to be discussing Ghost of Yotei, I didn't expect Breaking Bad creator Vince Gilligan to be the one asking the questions. But he was exactly who Sony picked to sit across from the samurai game's creative director, Jason Connell, to discuss their respective media as a part of its Creator to Creator series. Although it was snubbed at the Game Awards, Ghost of Yotei's stellar reviews promise a place on our list of the best single-player games when it inevitably makes the move to PC. But it wasn't all smooth sailing, as Connell discusses the pressure of violence, troubles with mocap performers, and killing his favorite game mechanic to make development sustainable.Read the full story on PCGamesN: Ghost of Yotei's director had to "kill" one of his favorite mechanics, but resisted the "pressure" to replace it with violence

In a year that's already set to bring us GTA 6, 007 First Light, Subnautica 2, and so many more highly anticipated games, I keep forgetting that a new Resident Evil is on the way. For many of you, though, it may well be the only new game you can think about. Resident Evil Requiem, Resi 9, whatever you're calling it; it's going to be a major moment for horror fans. There's equal parts nervousness and excitement to see how the scares, the characters, and the first-and-third-person action delivers, but to ease that agonizing wait, there's a surprising new Resident Evil game that can keep you occupied. Resident Evil Survival Unit, the franchise's latest spinoff that puts a strategic twist on survival, is out now.Read the full story on PCGamesN: A new Resident Evil strategy game has just arrived, but there are some big caveats

Computer speakers are one of those PC products that see very slow development, with products sometimes hanging around for decades. There's hardly a finer example of that than the Klipsch ProMedia. The first iteration of this 2.1 speaker design - the Klipsch ProMedia 2.1 THX - launched all the way back in 1999. While a drastically different-looking ProMedia 2.1 Heritage version was released a few years ago, it's only now, with the release of the brand new Klipsch ProMedia Lumina, that the set is getting a true successor. This new 2.1 speaker set combines a 6.5-inch subwoofer and two satellite speakers, each containing a 3-inch mid-range driver and a 1-inch tweeter. Klipsch doesn't mention a combined power output for the combo, but we'd guess the term "loud" would cover it. Not many of the current options in our best computer speaker guide are going to be more powerful.Read the full story on PCGamesN: 26 years later, this legendary computer speaker system is finally getting an update

As various countries continue to crack down on online safety, Roblox has confirmed that it's rolling out a new age verification system for players who want to use the in-game chat feature. The system will use a facial recognition scan to estimate your age, and then match you with users who have been placed in a similar bracket. This, in theory, means that older players will be prohibited from talking in chat to those outside of their age brackets. In practice, however, we know that checks of this type can often be circumvented quite easily.Read the full story on PCGamesN: Roblox is rolling out face ID age checks to stop older players from chatting to kids, but will it actually work?
