Keep Armored Royale As A Permanent Mode In Warzone You Cowards

Before Armored Royale, I was totally content with vanilla Warzone and its consistent, even flavour. But now that I’ve discovered rum and raisin, I’m struggling to go back. Life with trucks is chaotic and devious and hilarious in ways which classic modes can’t match. And yet it’s only a limited time mode. It’s going to vanish one day and I can’t think about this for too long otherwise I’ll sob over my space bar....

Leaked Silent Hill Images Suggest A New Game With A British Setting

Naturally, it wasn’t long before Konami’s legal team were on the case, but the images have since resurfaced on Reddit. They show a red corridor covered in what appear to be post-it notes (with an equally post-it noted creature in a dress standing ominously at the end of it), rooms filled with garbage, and a close-up of a woman’s face with certain words visible beneath her skin. It’s these words that have led some outlets, including VGC, to believe the next Silent Hill might be set in Britain, as it includes uniquely British slang such as ‘minger’, a phrase I haven’t heard in active use since the mid 00s....

Letter From The Editor 01 A Month In And We Re All Still Here

Lightyear Frontier S Outer Space Farmventure Gives You High Tech Tools To Get Back To Nature

Developers Frame Break are keen to emphasise how chilled out Lightyear Frontier is: it’s very peaceful, and there’s no death (a “survival game without survival”). It’s all about ecology and being one with nature. This does, at times, feel slightly at odds with the other eye-catching thing about Lightyear Frontier, which is a bloody massive tractor mech stomping about everywhere. “The mech was our starting point for the game,” explains Joakim Hedström....

Loba Is Coming To Apex Legends With Season 5 This Month

Loba is coming to Apex on May 12th, which just so happens to be the start date of the game’s fifth season. Titled Fortune’s Favor, Season 5 looks like it’s bringing some new story-based missions to the battle royale. The latest Stories From The Outlands animation, Legacy Of A Thief, seems to follow on from the trailer that revealed Revenant last season. It shows Loba dealing with the trauma of losing her parents to the robot assassin by becoming the best thief in the business, before finally finding where Revenant’s been hiding....

Loop Hero Looks Like A Deck Based Rogue Like

“Strategically place building, terrain, and enemy cards along each loop to create your own dangerous path,” say Four Quarters. “Find balance between the cards to increase your chances of survival while recovering valuable loot and resources for your camp.” If I understand it correctly, you’re playing cards that could prove lethal to your hero, attempting to organize and order them in such a fashion that they overcome challenges without being overwhelmed....

Making A Crusader Kings 3 Ruler With Every Setting On Maximum

Without a word, each of the defeated clerics step forwards to rummage in a velvet sack. Tokens rattle beneath their hands. When the sack is empty, the cardinals open their fists, and the chapel fills with murmured prayers of relief. Most of these men will live another year. But after the prayers subside, a lone sob continues to echo in the chamber. These are the tears of Pope Leo XXXVI, who has drawn the black token....

Marvel Snap S Community Infographic Includes A Black Panther With Over 8 Million Power

Here’s the infographic, totting up various numbers from the recently concluded Warriors of Wakanda season. It’s made by community manager “Ultra-Skye”. Here’s a crop of that powerful Panther, though it is a mockup. I like how this demonstrates one of the elements that makes Marvel Snap interesting, which is switching your deck up based on featured or hot locations, which are temporarily more likely to appear - though this Panther had it in the bag regardless....

Mass Effect Legendary Edition Lets You Keep Old Mako Controls

“For those people out there who do like pain, we’ve left the option to leave it back kind of closer to the original controls as well if you want,” environment director Kevin Meek told PC Gamer. The old Mako was a bouncy and frustrating six-wheeled tank, but for the Legendary Edition it’s been tuned up to be a much smoother experience. Its shields recharge faster and it has improved camera controls so you can better aim at enemies on the ground (though let’s be honest, we’re all just going to plow through them anyway)....

Microsoft Finally Name One Thing Correctly

Here’s the video announcing the change, filled with people I’ve never heard of but presume to be famous in some way: And here’s the “patch notes” Xbox put out: The service remains otherwise unchanged. The trailer above does contain a deliberate “leak” of games coming to the service next year, however, including a handful that were previously unannounced. The briefly visible list of games includes Total War: Warhammer 3, Redfall, Starfield, Somerville and more - all of which we already knew....

Minecraft Adds Axolotls In New Caves Cliffs Snapshot

As the Java snapshot 20W51A notes explain, these critters love eating tropical fish, so they’ll swim around you all friendly-like if you have a tropical fish bucket. Begging for treats, I guess. You can scoop axolotls up into buckets yourself to carry around too, because they don’t like being out the water unless it’s raining (I wouldn’t try this with real axolotls). Like the real creatures, who can regenerate whole limbs and even parts of vital organs like the heart and brain, they’ll heal themselves if injured, after playing dead for a bit....

Minecraft Introduce Potential New Mob The Glare

Minecraft’s survival sandbox world is full of baddie monsters. There are skeletons and zombies and creepers, oh my. The trick is that they’ll only spawn in places where it’s dark enough. That means monsters will appear at night and inside caves when you venture deep enough. This newly proposed mob the Glare is a cute flying critter—made of what look like vines—who will alert you by getting grumpy when you’ve found an area where light levels are low enough to spawn monsters....

Modders Are Already Working To Bring Half Life 2 Into Alyx

“Vect0R!”, a modder whose projects include RTX and restoring cut content for the first Half-Life, yesterday showed off this video with part of the City 17 Gordon knew running in Alyx: Yeah, it doesn’t look great, but Valve have not yet released the mod tools. And hey, it exists! “Things I was able to do was very limited since Valve didn’t share SDK with the public yet,” Vect0R! explained. “I started this project around 24 March and planned this since around January....

New World Turns Wealth And Character Transfers Back On

Now its developers say they’ve turned wealth transfers back on and “permanently banned players who exploited the Coin/Item dupe issue,” among many other updates. Let’s start with character transfers. Introduced as a way to ease player wait times when joining busy servers, character transfers were quickly switched off due to a gold duplication bug. After a couple of weeks, they’re back on again now. “We addressed this as well in our next hot fix, where we re-enabled trading and company transactions, as well as remove any duped Coin from companies who exploited the issue (or accidentally triggered it)....

Nvidia Geforce Rtx 3050 Review

And yet, these are not normal times. While the MSI GeForce RTX 3050 Gaming X 8G model I’ve tested has already ballooned to £380 / $450, this leaves it looking like much more of a genuine alternative to RTX 3060, which is generally around £500 in the UK. And while it’s ultimately still a 1080p specialist, the RTX 3050 takes a big step up from previous GTX XX50 GPUs by offering DLSS and ray tracing support....

Nvidia Rtx 3060 Release Date Confirmed For February 25Th

Contrary to previous launches, it looks like the RTX 3060 will be going on sale a little later than previous RTX 30 cards. According to The Verge, retailers will be opening orders for the RTX 3060 at 9am PT / 12pm ET / 5pm GMT on February 25th, so make sure you set a reminder if you’re hoping to try and pick one up. The RTX 3060 will be the fifth RTX 30-series GPU Nvidia have launched over the last few months, and judging from the performance of its slightly more powerful sibling, the RTX 3060 Ti, it will likely be a great replacement for anyone with an ageing GTX 1060 card....

Olliolli World S Final Dlc Kickflips Into The Clouds

Roll7 detailed their new expansion over on the PlayStation blog. There they explain that Windzones can be used to " propel yourself forward over obstacles, bounce you backward onto hidden routes, and take yourself out with newer, faster, sillier slams than ever before." They should let you perform more tricks and reach higher scores. The new courses also feature “burly routes”, a step further than previous tracks “gnarly routes”. These are more difficult paths through levels, which only the best players will be able to successfully navigate but which will of course grant you even higher scores....

Ooblets Will Have An Actually Useful Map

You’d think that a map showing the location of all the folks you want to talk to would be a standard part of townlife sim games but alas it is not. I know it’s not exactly immersive and wot not—I mean unless you’ve somehow managed to convince everyone in town to share their cell phone location data with you—but it saves on the frustration of stomping all over looking for that one exact person you need to find....
