It’s only available for those who pre-ordered or acquired a beta code so far, but it’s already breaking records. Everyone assumed it was going to be big, but since Call of Duty has been absent from Steam for five years now, we never really had a good picture of its player numbers on PC. Modern Warfare 2 marks the series’ grand return to Steam, and the audience there has responded in kind....
The update, called Season 1 Reloaded, launched last week, introducing a refreshed take on the fan-favourite map Shipment, the game’s first raid that picks up where the base game’s story left off, and a limited-time game mode Warzone Cup. Unfortunately, the update also brought in some unwanted bugs and glitches, causing some frustration amongst players (thanks, Eurogamer). As shared on the game’s subreddit, one of the more notable problems is that players’ custom builds are being erased....
Available for PC and Switch, the large expansion adds new quest ranks, locales, monsters, hunting actions, and new story elements. An update for the game is coming in August, and additional game updates are coming in the future. The DLC takes place at the end of the Rampage, where you are now the hero who has brought peace to Kamura. Unfortunately, the peace is short-lived due to the arrival of a strange monster in the shrine ruins....
With that in mind, if you’ve been able to play a few games of MultiVersus, you’ll no doubt have become accustomed to the roster, which includes Warner Bros favourites, Superman, Shaggy, Bugs Bunny, and even LeBron James. However, what if your favourite isn’t there? Or their default cosmetic isn’t to your liking? This is where mods come into MultiVersus. There are a range of mods already available for the game which are allowing players to reskin their MultiVersus characters to their heart’s content....
As part of the episode titled “Dreamcast: Where It Went Wrong”, Subotnick detailed the time he was working on a Star Fox-like game called Geist Force with Sega of America. Once thought to be cancelled because of a lack of confidence in the product and missed deadlines, Subotnick tells his side of the story: That, Subotnick says, caused a chain reaction throughout the company of people jumping from a sinking ship, with his five engineers finding other jobs....
Necromunda: Hired Gun, the new FPS from StreumOn, was one of last month’s surprise reveals. Hired Gun is a frenetic, fast-paced shooter in the same vein of the new Doom, set in the Warhammer 40,000 universe. If the initial reveal trailer didn’t sell you on it, today’s drop delves a little deeper into the world of the game, and explores a few of the things you’ll be up to in this grimdark future....
The newspaper report was discussed in a recent article published by The Edge Markets. “Today’s gains also followed a report in the Taipei-based Economic Daily News that Nintendo might launch a new version of its Switch console early next year, citing unidentified people in the supply chain,” reads the piece. “A more powerful version of the console has been rumoured in the past.” It makes sense - rumors concerning a new Switch model have been circulating since 2018....
Those who’re interested in trying the game out have been able to since yesterday, with the end time for this exciting period for the game landing on Monday April 11. Once the weekend is over and we’re all back at work, the base game as well as the deluxe edition are 40% off until Monday April 18 - so there’s plenty of time to mull the purchase over. One new event that might tempt those with a taste for this new world is Rabbit’s Revenge....
It’s a literal monster, dubbed Turkulon, but despite its rarity, you can actually find Turkulon locations in several places on Aeternum. It’s worth hunting down the fowl fiend, as it drops a special Monstrous Turkey Leg that boosts your luck, which is perfect for treasure hunting during expeditions. How to get Monstrous Turkey Leg in New World The only way to obtain Monstrous Turkey Leg is by defeating Turkulon. Each Turkulon drops six Monstrous Turkey Legs....
Nier Replicant players on PC have been running into a number of problems since the game’s launch on Friday. While they are not as significant as those encountered in Nier Automata, they’re nonetheless causing unnecessary friction. Setting aside performance issues, the biggest problem right now is that the game’s logic breaks when it runs at framerates above 60fps. This is sadly a common problem in Japanese games, and in Nier Replicant, it makes the character uncontrollably fast....
There may not be a traditional E3 this year, but this won’t stop Nintendo from bringing back Treehouse Live. The platform holder will host a special Treehouse Live episode today to bring you new Paper Mario: The Origami King gameplay. The livestream kicks off today at 10am PT, 1pm ET, 6pm UK. Outside of the brief snippets of footage Nintendo showed off when The Origami King was surprise-announced two months ago, this will be our first proper look at gameplay....
Update 1.07 is now available for Nioh 2, and alongside plenty of bug fixes comes adjustments to nine sub-missions. Alongside the adjustments and bug fixes, the update also weakened the attacks of some non-boss enemies which would kill you in one hit, even if you were above the recommended level. 1.07 also weakens some of Shibata Katsuie’s attacks that are rather hard to dodge. The drop rate of the Smithing Text and The Art of Combat has been buffed, and Difficulty has been added to the search condition of Random Encounters....
Speaking with IGN, Crystal Dynamics head of studio Scot Amos said the Marvel’s Avengers team is currently working on the character, but it will be a while before the PlayStation-exclusive character arrives. “I can tell you that, formally, officially, people are working on him right now,” said Amos. “So it is still on our roadmap for the future.” The game’s upcoming roadmap was revealed yesterday, and contains what looks like plenty to hold players over until the Black Panther: War for Wakanda expansion arrives later this year....
Back when the Nvidia RTX 2080 ti first released, I described it as the future - but arguably too expensive for mass adoption. Almost exactly two years later, Nvidia is back with a proposition: what if the future was even better, and even cheaper? Say hello to the GeForce RTX 3080, the latest flagship gaming GPU from the graphics powerhouse. I describe the 3080 as the flagship, and I already know some of you will be wondering about its bigger brother, the 3090....
But ahead of trying out the follow-up to Oddworld Inhabitants’ long-anticipated platformer, you can check out a launch trailer for the game that sets the tone, teases gameplay, and shows you some of the horrors that are to come as Abe continues his bizarre adventure. In the action-adventure platformer, Abe returns to carry on the story that kicked off in 2014’s Oddworld: New ‘N’ Tasty. Freed from being a capitalist drone in a “clueless cog in a mega-corporate machine,” Abe is now a savior of the Mudokons....
Much like previous guides we’ve seen for the likes of Bloodborne and Sekiro, Future Press have continued to service FromSoft fans with beautiful, official guides to their games. The Elden Ring strategy guide will be in two volumes, and together, they will serve as an ultimate guide to The Lands Between. The first volume, Vol 1: The Lands Between, will primarily delve into everything The Lands Between has to offer, be it dungeons or NPC’s....
An important thing to consider when writing a story of any kind, is that if you make any kind of humanoid race that can bone, people will want to bone it. Characters like Garrus might not be to your taste, but plenty of people would happily bend over backwards for the turian, much to Karpyshyn’s surprise. “We always knew they’d come back as companions,” wrote Karpyshyn in the AMA when asked about how Garrus and Tali were brought in as romance options for Mass Effect 2....
There’s a lot to digest and dig through in the blog, so we’re going to highlight the most notable changes and how DICE is addressing beta feedback with respect to certain elements. Performance DICE once again stressed that the Battlefield 2042 beta was based on an old build and does not reflect where the game currently is in development. Though the developer didn’t specifically address performance concerns as far as general framerate, stutters and so on, it said that you should expect a much more optimised version at launch....
Tekken 7 modder Wolfe has finally released a Final Fantasy 7 Remake Tifa mod for PC that brings the punchy, Shinra-hating environmentalist rebel to the on-going dystopia of Tekken 7 (thanks, TheGamer). If you download the mod, you will be able to play as the iconic Tifa Lockhart instead of Tekken 7’s own Filipino kickboxer, Josie Rizal. It makes sense when you think about it; the two female brawlers both use hard-hitting close range moves, and of the entire Tekken roster available, Josie fits Tifa’s moveset the most....
PlayStation is currently offering a seven day free trial of its revamped Plus service that adds a bit of Game Pass flair into Sony’s repertoire. The trial lasts for seven days, but it should be noted that no matter whether you opt for a one month, three month, or 12 month subscription, you will be charged once the trial runs out. So make sure to cancel it if you aren’t convinced by the service....
