Everyone Is Still Tiny In For Honor

They’ve also given everyone a squeaky chipmunk voice, and sure, why not. It makes getting shoved off a cliff less painful. I like it when my monk leaps through the air with his big stick. As you’d expect, Reddit is packed with tiny warmongers. Here’s a scary beheading: To see this content please enable targeting cookies.

Factorio Has Launched Out Of Early Access

“Show’s over, building games. It’s time to go home,” our former Alec (RPS in peace) said after playing Factorio in 2016. “Seriously: I can’t think where there is left to go after Factorio.” It really is… a lot. It has the pleasure of slowly teching up and expanding, the satisfaction of automating your processes, then the obsession of optimisation. Destroying a complex system which does work but sloppily so you can build a replacement doing the same job slightly better is such a treat....

Fallout 76 S Next Dlc Is Heading Back To The Pitt For Some Reason

Set in post-apocalyptic, raider-occupied Pittsburgh, The Pitt, erm, pits you against those aforementioned raiders and Trog monsters you might remember from the original Fallout 3 add-on. Expeditions are a new game mode for Fallout 76 that are being introduced with The Pitt update. They’re missions you can repeat over and over to bag XP, loot and some legendary items. Bethesda say you can join an Expedition at whatever level you like, but they recommend being at least Level 50 just so you’re not ganked immediately....

Fights In Tight Spaces Is Tactical Card Action

Mode 7 announced Ground Shatter’s next game today with the action-packed trailer below. You’ll be a member of Section Eleven, an intelligence branch that aren’t afraid of getting their hands dirty when digital espionage falls short. “As a Section Eleven agent it is your job to find direct solutions to emerging threats…largely by smashing people’s faces into things,” Mode 7 say. The trailer below is quite neat, with flashy action shots highlighting your finishing moves....

Final Fantasy Xiv Has Restored My Faith In Humanity

That is, until I started playing MMORPG Final Fantasy XIV. So far, all the cat people and elves and gnomes I’ve encountered have been - dare I say it - alright. They’ve actually been really quite, well… nice? Final Fantasy XIV sports that “massively-multiplayer” label that suggests other people are a key component, and yet here I am, playing this game solo. I login most evenings, take the reins of my beloved Shadow Hulk (whose run is growing on me) and do some questing....

Forspoken Nail Design List

Frey’s nails are more than just pretty accessories though, since each design has its own effects. They’re a key component of Frey’s gear, and so it’s a good idea to know how best to use them to optimise her loadout. On this page, we’ll go over all the nail designs in Forspoken, along with detailing how to apply them and how to unlock more. List of Forspoken nail designs Below are all the nail art designs we’ve seen so far in Forspoken: There are two sets of pre-order bonus nail designs in Forspoken: “Overclock” (for those who pre-ordered the game on PC) and “Trigger Happy” (for PS5 pre-order owners)....

Get The Logitech Streamcam For 75 This Black Friday

So, why is it worth the money? Logitech’s StreamCam is advertised as primarily being for streaming on YouTube and Twitch, but that doesn’t mean its the only purpose. Boasting an impressive 1080p and 60fps, this cam is as close to perfect HD as you can get without strapping a literal DSLR to your monitor. It features AI face tracking for that spot-on framing, and even works well in low light, something us Brits sorely need....

Glorious Model D Is A Fantastic Lightweight Gaming Mouse And Even Squeaks Like One Too

It is, however, a little disconcerting at times, as every now and then I’ll hear an audible ‘squeak’ from its mouse wheel. If my cats didn’t already think this was a new tasty treat to sink their teeth into, they certainly will now. I jest, of course. So far my cats have shown no interest in hungrily making eyes at it when it occasionally lets out a very mouse-like shriek (update: Glorious have confirmed this is a defect of an early production run and the issue has since been rectified), nor have they started to clog up the Model D’s many holes with excess fur or bits of mud from their wet paws....

God Of War Studio Director Heads Up A New Google Stadia Outfit

Googles new studio, located in the Playa Vista neighbourhood of LA, is a mere stone’s throw from Studstill’s old desk at Sony Santa Monica. That team was largely known for developing God Of War, that PlayStation-exclusive series about a bald Greek bloke wot chopped up gods and monsters ’til he had a midlife crisis, moved to Scandinavia, and become a dad in 2018. It’s Stadia’s second in-house development house alongside a Montreal studio formed last October....

Grab Yourself Some Bargain Tunes In Steam S Soundtrack Sale

There’s a couple of personal favourites I’ve spotted on the main sale page that I need to hold myself back from buying - Disco Elysium’s OST for example has 25% off making it £7.49, and Dead Cells has 50% so it’s down to the very reasonable price of £2.24.

Granblue Fantasy Relink Reunites Final Fantasy Vets For Skyfaring Action Rpg

Granblue Fantasy: Relink is set in the same universe and has the same Final Fantasy vets involved, but it’s a big, splashly 1-4 player action RPG blockbuster, with combat reminiscent of some Platinum Games. You’ll find the latest trailer below. Relink has been a long time coming: it was first shown in 2017, its name was confirmed in 2018, and it was originally due to release last year. It’s now aiming for a 2023 release date....

Grid Legends And Forza Horizon 5 Are Gunning For My Heart

Now the main highlight from the Grid Legends reveal was a more involved story mode. It has Ncuti Gatwa who played Eric Effiong in Netflix’s Sex Education playing a racing star out to race, baby. There are other grizzled drivers who also want to race, but faster than the others. Yume Tanaka who wants to become the first woman ever to win the championship, and who absolutely has my backing....

Grounded Is Adding The Mother Of All Spiders In Its June Update

Fair warning: don’t watch this trailer if spiders give you the spooks. They turn on the (very good) arachnophobia mode eventually, but only after you’ve already seen the Broodmother in all her eight-legged glory. The Broodmother is the game’s first boss, and she looks like she’ll take a lot to squash. Or maybe you could build a giant glass to trap her under? Wedge a bit of card under there, throw her out in the garden....

Gta Online Content Updates Continue With Next Gen Consoles

Rockstar said in yesterday’s announcement that “the journey through the ever-evolving, shared world of GTA Online will continue on to the new generation with more new updates including additional GTA Online content exclusive to the new consoles and PC.” Which I guess means Xbox One and PS4 are getting cut off but we’re still in. Hey, maybe the fancied-up next-gen versions will have the graphical bells and whistles we’ve had on PC for years....
