Like Fallout 4’s settlements, Fallout 76 lets players craft and build a space of their own on the map. Players have done some absolutely lovely things with their camps, from making art galleries, deadly schools, and extremely impressive bars. If you’ve got one such creation of your own, you’ll want to take a closer look at the map that Bethesda tweeted today. As Fallout 76 is online and all players are allowed to build on the map, conflicts do already occur between camps....

Get the Xtrfy K4 TKL for £36.59 (was £89) Katharine hasn’t reviewed the K4 TKL for RPS just yet, but I have happened to test it out - so let me run through its strong points quickly. It’s got high quality Kailh Red switches, which are plate-mounted to improve the typing response. It has thick ABS keycaps, lubed stabilisers and foam padding in the bottom of the case to dampen noise....

You’ve got that, right? Good. Because dimensions, this chess game is played across so many boards, can send units back in time to create branching timelines, can… look, I’ll be honest: I can barely solve the simplified chess puzzles that games slip when they tire of keycards and the Tower of Hanoi. I’m still quite curious about this. I will not play the AI opponents. I will certainly not play the online multiplayer....

“We’re seeking a Senior Narrative Designer to work with us to help shape the next game in the Subnautica universe,” tweeted the Unknown Worlds Twitter account. The tweet then links through to a job listing with a little more detail: From the job listing, the takeaways are “a new science fiction world” setting and “early in development”, but this is far from a game announcement. For all we know this new game in the Subnautica universe could be a match-3 mobile game about lining up triples of fish....

The change was implemented by our tech team earlier this week, and is part of a number of community-building measures we’re introducing this year to try and make RPS feel like the welcoming, cosy treehouse it’s always been, except you know, in digital form. About a year ago, we introduced on-site notifications, which told you if someone had liked or replied to a comment you’d left the next time you visited RPS, and those will continue to exist alongside these new email notifications....

I watched a trailer of Genshin Impact earlier in 2019 and filed it under ‘destined to disappoint’. It looked beautiful, but it was also a free-to-play game with gacha mechanics from a mobile game developer. After ten hours with it, I haven’t been compelled to spend money once. The game hasn’t even told me its system for spending real money to unlock characters exists, let alone how to use it....

LOTR is one of the most popular fantasy stories of the modern age. It’s about a plucky group of misfits, outsiders, and unexpected allies who rally around a hero after the invading alien Monstars sap the basketballing talents of Middle-earth’s mightiest ring-hangers. The first focused on Michael Jordan’s dominance of the ring, while an upcoming sequel is set years after, with new basketball idol LeBron James now out to save the day and claim the title of The Lord Of The Rings....

So, first things first, what are we actually going to see tomorrow? Well, in Crucible players are plopped on a planet to complete various objectives against enemy teams. What we’re in for seems like a weird amalgamation of MOBA-style strategy mixed in with third-person combat. It’s not the sort of hero shooter where you constantly need to be with your team - it’s the opposite most of the time, actually....

Here’s everything you need to know about AMD’s hotly anticipated Big Navi GPUs from tonight’s RDNA 2 event, including all of their respective prices, specs, performance figures and that all-important release date. AMD Big Navi Radeon RX 6000 release date, price and specs Below, you can see all the key specs, price and release date info for each of AMD’s three Big Navi GPUs. The RX 6800 and RX 6800 XT will launch first on Wednesday November 18th for $579 and $649 respectively, with the RX 6900 XT following on Tuesday December 8th for $999....

In Katharine’s review of the 5900X, she recognised its better-than-10900K gaming performance, the result of a big generational leap in single-core performance from the Zen 2 cores in Ryzen 3000 to the Zen 3 cores in Ryzen 5000. This was achieved in a few ways, but most notably through upping the amount of L3 cache available to each processor, while also changing the ‘base unit’ of the CPU from four to eight cores, allowing more cores to share the same physical cache and therefore reduce the time spent sending data from core to core....

“We’re working through some service issues in @playapex at the moment due to high demand,” developers Respawn Entertainment tweeted at 6:38pm BST, not long after the update went live. “We’re on top of it and will get players into games as quickly as we can!” Two hours after that they were still battling with the server issues, though some players were managing to get into matches. It was around that time I dragged my pals into Apex to see if things were stable enough to play, and after about 10 minutes of the opening screen telling me there weren’t any servers, I eventually got in....

Like previous years, players will be able to jump into the Shadow Royale game mode. It starts out like a usual battle royale, except every time a player dies they get to respawn as a zombie and chase down their murderers. Shadow Royale is great fun. Zombies can climb fast, run fast, and slap people for a helluva lot of damage with their ghostly hands. You can still win with your squad as a zomb as long as at least one of your friends stays alive, which ends up with a lot of undead people playing “get down Mr....

For my pocket money placed into Panini’s pockets, I got a completed World Cup ‘94 sticker book. For buying one of four new bundles of items for Apex Legends, you’ll now help fund the ALGS Championship prize pool up to $3 million. This is the first time that Apex Legends has adopted this kind of funding model for its esports tournament, and its following in the footsteps of Dota 2’s The International....

So, Apex on Switch! While a press release from Electronic Arts last night did initially say it needed a Nintendo Switch Online membership, whoops, they soon corrected that - it does not. And yep, like with the other console versions, it supports cross-platform play if you want it. So you can play with your Switchy pals, impresses then with your hot mouselook murders. Yesterday also brought the start of the Chaos Theory Collection Event....

Read more about all the major changes coming with Apex Legends Revelry on Tuesday 14th February below, and join me as I aggressively chew the walls in anticipation of the five new character classes that are about to shake up the Legend meta. New character classes: Assault, Skirmisher, Recon, Controller, Support The headline feature of Season 16 for many Apex players will be the complete rework of the current character classes system....

It’s a lovely looking pub, for sure. But coming from Dublin, where subversive relics of independence like The Confession Box are open about the intertwining nature of pub culture and rebellion, my interest is rooted in more than just the aesthetic. It makes sense to me that The Hound Pits is where Corvo and co meet to discuss their next political assassination. So, I reached out to Arkane Studio’s Harvey Smith, co-creative director for Dishonored, and chatted about the reasons why pubs make class revolutionary bases....

Here’s what’s coming from the rest of February: SD Gundam Battle Alliance - February 9th Madden NFL 23 - February 9th Mount & Blade II Bannerlord - February 14th Cities: Skylines Remastered – February 15th Shadow Warrior 3: Definitive Edition – February 16th Atomic Heart – February 21st Atomic Heart is likely the heavy hitter from this list. The nightmarish, steely FPS has spent a long time in the oven, and Ed got to try it while it was baking....

Alice Bee Paradise Killer has a lot to recommend it, since it’s a kind of futuristic demon murder-mystery on an eternal island paradise powered by human sacrifice. But you know what else is great? The soundtrack. God, the soundtrack. Paradise Killer’s OST is by Barry ‘Epoch’ Topping and it’s just hit after hit after hit. A cosmic mix of jazz, funk, synth and pop. A crashing wave of euphoria. I love it, especially....

The best Warzone Perks Below we’ll talk a little bit about every single Perk in Warzone, but let’s not keep you in suspense: the very best Perks in Warzone are E.O.D, Ghost, Overkill, Amped, and Combat Scout. But seeing as you can only have three Perks active at a time, it’s still worth reading through our explanations below to figure out which Perks to take forward depending on your situation. Perks are divided into three groups....
