There are substantial gameplay fixes, such as correcting “the height of the charged jump” and fixing “an issue where weapon reload speed perks slowed down reload time.” V will also “no longer et stuck in falling animation when crashing a motorbike while also having ‘The Rock’ perk.” Then there are fixes to specific quests, such as Judy failing to spawn in her van during Disasterpiece, and being unable to talk to the Nomads to advance the story in With A Little Help From My Friends....

Black Adam and Stripe have been given the full MultiVersus makeover to fit the game’s cartoony style. The upcoming Black Adam movie starring Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson lands in cinemas on October 1st, so it would make sense for Warner Bros. to time his introduction in the game ahead of that. Gremlins 3 isn’t due out until December 2023 but, heck, everyone loves Gremlins right? Images and video of ads showing the so-far unannounced characters have been shared online: MultiVersus hasn’t forgotten about Rick And Morty though....

It’s the same reason I tend to veer away from a lot of other Soulslike games as well. I never really got on with Dead Cells, for instance, and don’t even get me started on Sekiro. But cor, I do also love it when a game proves me wrong. Hollow Knight was the first Soulslike to rekindle my rather begrudging relationship with these games, and now I’ve fallen hook, line and sinker for Death’s Door, the crow reaper sword ’em up from Titan Souls creators Acid Nerve....

So far Death Stranding has given me a very quiet yet very grumpy man while frontloading some of the most delightful nonsense I’ve seen in videogames. I am here for it. I will take all the canister babies Hideo Kojima and his team can throw at me. Except it might also be a bit much. I can see why everyone had such a hard time writing about Death Stranding. I would also like to briefly complain that this is the worst possible time and perspective from which to write about Death Stranding, because many of you will have played the whole thing on consoles already, and so will already have much more informed and considered opinions than mine....

Here’s a trailer that shows the photo mode in action: Deathloop’s photo mode looks broadly similar to the photo modes which have been popping up in damn near every game over the past two years. Activate it in-game and it pauses the action and gives you a free camera to move and tilt, as well as filters to apply which change colours and lighting and the ability to pose the game’s protagonists....

Descendent said in a Kickstarter post this week that “as we got to the end of primary game development and about 2-4 weeks from our Beta release to early backers a dispute arose with the publisher.” This has spiralled into a lawsuit and countersuit, and Descendent helpfully point to all the court filings for “if you feel like reading them for yourself and making your own conclusion about the state of things....

Developers Team Wiby call Phantom Abyss an “asynchronous multiplayer game”, because on your journeys through these temples you technically won’t be alone. Other players will be trying to complete it, and you’ll see the ghosts of players who failed in their quests too (similarly to Dark Souls). I’m excited for this one! It takes one of the aspects of Soulsborne games that I really like, which is learning from other players’ mistakes....

Plus, the Necromancer is confirmed as the fifth playable class. There’s a moody trailer that tries to make being a Necromancer sound twisted and dangerous and a hard path to walk, but it mostly makes it sound like Necromancers are cool badasses with loads of skeleton best friends. The Necromancer is the final playable class confirmed for launch, the others being the Barbarian, the Sorceress, the Druid and the Rogue (the latter making a return from the very first Diablo)....

Developed by a company of the same name, Krisp is a machine-learning driven noise filtration service that aims to cut background audio out of voice calls. In regular words - it learns what sounds shouldn’t be in the audio feed, and learns to filter them out. Pets, traffic, expensive keyboards or noisy neighbours, that sorta thing. While normally a paid thing, its integration with Discord comes free of charge as a new button in the client’s options menu....

EVE Online’s crossover with British TV classic Doctor Who starts on the 13th January and runs until the 1st February. It’s an in-game event called The Interstellar Convergence, that’s set before Who’s 400-year-long war with the Daleks. There’s also a login campaign with skill points and Doctor Who-themed items over the course of the event. Seems like there’s some investigative work to be done before you face off against the Daleks too....

“We’re still early on in our planning for PC. And Horizon Zero Dawn has been very successful,” Hulst says in an interview on the PlayStation Blog. “I want to emphasize that PlayStation will remain the best place to play our PlayStation Studios titles at launch. But we do value PC gamers, and we’ll continue to look at the right times to launch each game.” But what are those “right times”, Herm?...

At time of writing, I haven’t quite had time to do my usual performance breakdown of all of today’s best graphics cards, but as you’ll hopefully see below, I’ve done my best to test a handful of today’s most popular GPUs (most notably the ones recommended in id Software’s recommended PC requirement lists) to see what they’re made of. This should give you a broad idea of what kind of performance you can expect to see from Doom Eternal at the moment, and I’ll do my best to update this piece with a complete rundown as soon as I can....

Fair enough. Why pander to the past when you can rip and tear through player-controlled demons? Hines explained his thinking in an interview with Shacknews, where he brought up the underwhelming multiplayer frag fests of Doom 2016. Id Software made the singleplayer, but multiplayer was handled by a separate studio called Certain Affinity. Alec (RPS in peace) described it as shifting the formula “from Schwarzenegger In Hell to Space Marines Chasing Each Other” in his Doom 2016 multiplayer review....

That’s immediately noticeable if, contrary to your gaming instinct, you look up. The design team has been hard at work making sure the rooftops are knitted together with all the correct bits of visual language so it’s clear to you how to flow from roof to roof, avoiding the shambling undead underfoot. A reworked parkour system (which feels more fluid, and empowering) underpins a game that favours agility and poise over brute force and aggression....

Developed by Youthcat Studio, Dyson Sphere Program has you convert the galaxy into a web of automated factories, all with the aim of churning out enough resources to construct a Dyson Sphere: a gargantuan orb that encloses an entire sun and gleans every ounce of energy from it. Only the best power source will suffice for humanity. I’d say that Dyson Sphere Program looks like an interstellar Factorio of sorts, as you’ll hop around a procedurally generated universe harvesting every poor planet you come across....

FromSoftware and Bandai Namco’s announcement today said that as of Monday the 14th, Elden Ring had sold 12 million across all platforms. That number might be imprecise, because it’s based on sales figures from downloadable versions but only distribution figures from the physical release. But still, it’s a big number. “It’s astonishing to see just how many people have been playing Elden Ring,” director Hidetaka Miyazaki said in response to the big number....

Bamco did not say “We want more time to make it good,” mind. Oh no. That would be far too straightforward for a Soulslike. “The depth of the game and the degree of freedom in strategy exceeded the initial expectations, hence it has been decided to extend the development time for final adjustments thus moving the release date to February 25, 2022,” they explained. Alright there pal, settle down. They’re still waiting for Game Of Thrones author George R....

In this Elden Ring Morgott walkthrough, we’ll cover how to beat Morgott with 5 handy tips and tricks. These cover Morgott’s weaknesses, the damage type you’ll want to defend against, Morgott’s attack pattern, and a secret item that you can use to gain an easy advantage over the Omen King. Elden Ring Morgott boss fight walkthrough After a tough first fight, Morgott spent some time training. He doesn’t have a training montage to show off, but he does come with a variety of new moves that you’ll need to look out for....

Judging by the announcement they’ll work much as they did during the second beta, effectively giving players their own space station to dock up to 16 ships at. They can be moved around the galaxy (though not piloted) by burning expensive tritium fuel, potentially up to 500 light years at a time. I remain doubtful that they’ll make much difference to most players. Which isn’t something I enjoyed saying last month....

You don’t need to give Epic your phone number to use two-factor authentication. You can enable 2FA to run through e-mail, an authenticator app, or text message. I use e-mail myself because it’s the least faff and doesn’t give Epic personal information they didn’t already have. Looking for more free games? Check out our round up of the best free PC games that you can download and play right now....
