GAME-HIVE: Your Ultimate Destination for Gaming News, Reviews, and Tips

No matter what you think of the coverage, you have to tip your cap to journalists working at the largest publications in the world. At the very least, their secondary skills have to be top-notch. From quick research to fast typing, to the patience of a saint needed to conduct a phone interview, or just masters of multitasking—there's no way they are just like the rest of us, right? Then I read an article about the typing skills of the average New York Times journo earlier this week, and my world was rocked. They are slower than you'd think "The average speed among the participating Times journalists was about 80 words per minute — double the average typing speed in the United States, according to the American Society of Administrative Professionals," reads the key insight of the article. Okay, very funny, give me the actual number. Wait, what, really? I'm not even sure where to start. 40 WPM being the average in the US was already a shocking insight to me...

Though Xbox was no stranger to breaking Game Pass into as many tiers as possible prior to Asha Sharma's ascension as chief executive, it would appear that the company under her direction wants to introduce yet another tier, one that only contains older first-party Microsoft titles. As per Eurogamer ( via Windows Central ), datamining has shown that Xbox could be preparing to release an additional Game Pass tier, one that is far removed from all the others currently on offer. It would only give you access to first-party Microsoft games, not including day-one releases, but older ones whose prime selling points have passed. According to dataminer redphx , who discovered this new Game Pass tier codenamed "TRION," it would include games such as Doom: Eternal , Dishonored 2 , Hellblade (the first one), State of Decay 2 , among others, but would also let you play live-service titles like Elder Scrolls Online as part of the package. https://twitter.com/redphx/status/2037...

AI is slowly crawling over the gaming industry, aiming first at those areas of game development that are "easiest" to replace, or rather, those where AI can produce results that would be "good enough" to a corporate suit and much cheaper than hiring an actual human to perform heavily contextualized work. And while I expected this to happen sooner rather than later, I never thought I'd see studios that have built up a lot of goodwill and reputation in the industry be the first ones to jump on this horrible wagon. In a Reddit post verified by moderators, a former employee of Warhorse Studios, the developers of the Kingdom Come: Deliverance games, alleged they were made "obsolete" in their role as a translator as the company aims to replace all localization work with artificial intelligence. "Yesterday, March 27th, 2026, with no forewarning, I was invited to a meeting and promptly told that, in an effort to 'make the company more effective...

Seeing Warframe miss is more difficult than getting a Legendary Core. The Follie's Hunt game mode released yesterday was a rare case of that happening, but developer Digital Extremes already set out a list of fixes for the controversial new game mode, coming in future updates. Developer Digital Extremes shared some of the upcoming changes to the game mode, touching upon several pain points. Follie, the game's main antagonist, will no longer be invincible; instead, Tenno can fend her off with enough damage, getting some breathing room. Multiple Follies can overwhelm the player, especially in the winding halls of the abandoned Vesper Relay, so this provides some agency by letting you fight back. Additionally,  Atramentum  pickups will now be shared with the entire squad, and it'll be easier to spot them. The resource is used with the new vendor to purchase Follie's parts, and having to compete with squadmates for them added more friction to an already-frustrating ...
