You play as an office worker who’s just clocked off his very last shift. I don’t think he’s quit his job though, it seems like the world might be ending. As good a time as any to set off home, I suppose. “As you progress through the dystopic cityscape, you quickly realise all is not as it should be,” the Steam page says. “Did it always take this long? Were the streets always a labyrinth?...
I mean, they only said at launch, right? Maybe there’s still hope for crossplay support further down the line. After all, Relic did also tell me the other week they’ll “go where the players are” when it comes to supporting the game long-term, so you never know. Still, even though I’ll be playing COH3 on PC when it arrives early next year, part of me’s quite intrigued to see how it runs on consoles....
“I argue that in the recent resurgence, we haven’t yet come across an RTS game that offers players an experience comparable to StarCraft or Red Alert,” says game designer Maurice Grela. “We’re hoping to fulfill that gap.” What does that mean for Crossfire: Legion? Units that burn rubber. Simple build queues, and harvesters that can be left largely to their own devices. “We believe that streamlining the building experience will allow players more cognitive capacity to focus on the combat loop,” Grela says....
The crypto-promoting copycat has since apologised for taking Itch.io’s CSS files for their own site, with the excuse that they were short of designers. Corcoran accused them of theft and pointed out that most of the projects on W3itch.io’s site were taken from RPGMaker.net. You can read the full, bizarre exchange between Corcoran and w3itch.io for yourself here. One Twitter response also pointed out the extent of W3itch.io’s copying of Itch....
CDPR’s tweet gives just a quick blurb about The Mox and their goals: Sounds like an interesting premise, to be sure. The idea of a grassroots movement that defends folks who most need it from the big bad system seems pretty punk to me. I only wonder if CDPR can actually handle the subject matter in a way that does more good than harm. Of course, a single tweet can’t divulge all the nuance of CDPR’s intentions for The Mox, nor I’m sure would any of us want the entire plot laid out in marketing-speak some several months before the game is out....
Prime among these high-tech pieces of cyberware is the Sandevistan - an operating system which gives its user dramatically heightened senses and temporary time dilation effects, allowing them to move at super speed. This is the cyberware used by David, the protagonist of Cyberpunk Edgerunners - and it’s also available in Cyberpunk 2077 as a very powerful high-end piece of cybernetic gear. Below we’ll walk you through how to get your hands on the very best Sandevistan in Cyberpunk 2077....
It’s not all good news, though. FromSoftware also announced that they will be unable “to support online services for the PC version of Dark Souls: Prepare To Die Edition” due to an “aging system.” FromSoft are working on restoring online services for the PC version of Dark Souls Remastered, but there’s no word as to when they’ll be back online. This also means if Prepare To Die owners want to experience PvP and other features, they’ll need to rebuy the Remastered version of the game....
The Bestiary, shockingly, adds some new beasts and baddies to Dead Cells’, uh, bestiary. Evil Empire reckoned the current rogue’s gallery was beginning to spread a little thin, and have added six new foes to the lineup - three biome-specific, and three spread around at various boss cells. Oh, the devs haven’t revealed what they are, exactly. Instead, they offered some tantalising gifs over on their update announcement post, including this snappy little crab soldier....
If you’ve already pre-ordered the Dead Space remake before the Dead Space 2 giveaway became a thing then don’t fret, you’ll still receive the game. The remake brings the original Dead Space in line with its sequels by giving protagonist and armoured engineer Isaac Clarke a voice, unlike the 2008 version. Playing through the Dead Space remake and rolling straight into Dead Space 2 and 3 might feel less jarring in that sense....
His next game was announced today. It’s called Death Of The Reprobate, and there’s a trailer showing both pointing and clicking below. Richardson referred to the game on Twitter as the third and final instalment of his “Renaissance point and click triptych.” The previous two games were Four Last Things and The Procession To Cavalry. In her Procession To Cavalry review, Alice B appreciated its writing, though not without caveats....
The PC edition of Death Stranding will have a photo mode to take nice landscape pictures and goofy portraits, the option of lovely high framerates (well, if your PC can power them), and support for ultrawide monitors. And some unplumbed amount of Half-Life “content.” 505 Games don’t detail the extend of this crossover so it could just be Gordo’s glasses, Ian Valveman’s valve, and the headcrab. I wouldn’t be surprised if The Crowbar appears too?...
There is a twist, at least: the battle pass is 100% free, and there’s a new robot-battling mode included in the update, too. Here’s a flashy trailer, mostly focused on the new mode, or you can skip to the end of this post for the six-minute narrated breakdown of everything in the update: The new mode is called Industrial Sabotage, and it features a rival corp of robots who are moving in on your turf....
Get the Dell Alienware AW3423DWF for $999 (was $1099) So why this monitor? Basically, it combines all the awesomeness of OLED with that uniquely captivating ultrawide form factor, providing unparalleled visuals but also more downsides than your average LCD panel display. Here’s what you need to know. First, the bad stuff - permanent image retention, aka “burn in”, is possible. This makes it a good idea to keep all the protections against this engaged, and follow common sense guidelines to protect the panel like auto-hiding your taskbar, using dark modes where available, setting a screensaver and varying your usage so that no one screen is visible for hours on end....
The LG 27GL850 is one such monitor that we featured recently, but there is a better option available - the Dell S2721DGF, which today is reduced to $380 when you buy it from Dell direct - a $230 reduction from its MSRP. Get the Dell S2721DGF 27-in gaming monitor for $380 The S2721DGF is better than the 27GL850 for two main reasons: refresh rate and ergonomics. Dell are able to push the panel to 165Hz, providing a small boost to image clarity in fast-moving scenes, and they’ve also equipped the monitor with a much better stand than LG do....
Well, we’ve not heard anything new about the rumoured Bloodborne PC port I ache for, but tonight’s PlayStation 5 showcase did bring one FromSoftware surprise for us: the upcoming Demon’s Souls remaster will be released on PC too. Huh! Originally published by Sony for PlayStation 3 in 2009, this is the punishing fantasy murdergame which started FromSoft down their wonderful Souls-y path. I am mighty curious. Here, watch the new gameplay trailer to see how familiar it is: Yup, as the end notes, it is a PlayStation exclusive that’s “not available on other consoles for a limited time” but is “also available on PC....
Diablo 2: Resurrected upgrades the original game with new 3D art and the ability to run in 4K resolutions, but the technical alpha is also designed to gather feedback on Blizzard’s tweaks to the original’s systems. “We look forward to hearing any and all feedback from players as we test how Diablo 2’s timeless gameplay fits with some of the refinements we are working on, such as auto gold pickup, shared stash, and controller support,” they say....
“We fought that transition for a long time,” Condor founder Max Schaefer told GameSpot in a 2002 retrospective. “The amount of time we argued about it was totally ridiculous, considering it only took us about three hours to mock the game up in real time.” Blizzard, of course, got their way, creating what amounted to a new genre in the process. Some old-school RPG fans balked at the notion of a real-time dungeon crawler, but many more fans were drawn by its pinata-like loot explosions and its clever use of roguelike mechanics, which randomised the progression just enough to make the game effectively endless....
In a press release, the devs say: “In addition to Global Events™️, 2020 saw us rebooting the narrative of our game. Those two factors have delayed our release timeline. So we are making what we’re sure is by now an expected announcement: Goodbye Volcano High will be a 2022 title, not a 2021 one.” “It’s been a really hard year for many reasons, and the mental and physical health of the team has to come first....
Before we dive too far into this thing: if you’re here because you’ve got a kid and you just want to know if Disney Dreamlight Valley will make them happy, and that the rat from Ratatouille doesn’t say the f-word, and that at no point does Ariel drag herself onto the beach to try to recruit them into a multi-level marketing scam, then you’re golden. Disney Dreamlight Valley is a top-marks Animal Crossing rip-off that will make fans of too-big mice irreversibly giddy....
How to use a controller on PC in Path Of Exile’s standalone client and Steam Path Of Exile now has native support for Xbox-style and DualShock controllers, so all you’ll need to do is plug a controller in in and change your input type in the settings menu. However, you can only change inputs from the log-in screen, so you will need to do this before you actually start playing. Just go to the input tab of your options menu and select an input from the drop-down menu....
