“Make your way through a hole within the PAR Count or your curse will take you back to the beginning of the course,” say Chuhai Labs. “To add to the challenge, these courses don’t just have bunkers and rough spots but are also chock full of mad obstacles like high powered fans, spikes, TNT boxes, teleporters and a whole load more.” Spot all that explosive golfing action down here along with a bit of an explanation from game director Liam Edwards....

Death Stranding Is Now Out On Pc

I like that when before Death Stranding hit PS4, folks weren’t quite sure what it was. Seemed hard to believe it would involve so much hiking and postmanning. But it really does. And you can build infrastructure to help both you and other players, bridges and roads and ziplines and things. Then there’s the political and sci-fi intrigue involving folks with names like Bridget Strand, Deadman, Heartman, and Die-Hardman. Die-Hardman!...

Death Stranding S Pc Requirements Will Pile 80Gb Of Files Onto Your Ssd

I’ve listed Death Stranding’s PC requirements in full below so you can see exactly what they entail. According to publisher 505 Games, Death Stranding’s minimum PC requirements will get you around 30fps at a 1280x720 resolution, but they’ve also provided two sets of recommended specs depending on whether you want to target 30fps or the full 60fps. Alas, they haven’t provided any details on what it will take to run the game at higher resolutions, such as 2560x1440 or 4K, but I’ll be testing the game closer to launch in order to find out....

Devolver Direct 2020 Is Coming On July 11

“This year’s showcase continues the tradition of overpromises with new game reveals, gameplay reveals, release date announcements, and special guests from the industry to help usher in these important marketing bullet points,” they say. “And it’s nearly all gameplay because that’s what the youths of today demand.” They also say there will be demos available for their upcoming games Carrion, Disc Room, another unannounced game and “maybe another game too, who can really tell where this is all leading....

Die After Sunset Sure Looks Like Fortnite S Roguelike Cousin

“Whilst adorable and clumsy in the light, Murkors transform into powerful beasts when in the shadows,” explain developers Playstark. “As the sun sets in each stage, choose how to combat the enemy and use light to your advantage to keep those pesky Murkors under control! Do you cross that chasm engulfed in shadow? Or can we get a bit more light in here?” You can spot a bit of that light and shadow play down here in its playtest trailer....

Disgaea 7 Vows Of The Virtueless Heading To Steam This Autumn

Disgaea 7 received a new trailer and a bunch of details. This time we follow the lazy samurai Fuji and the bushido fangirl Pirilika as they trek across the realm of Hinomoto. RPG storylines aren’t complete without a gruff warrior and an overexcited sidekick, so this is a win in my eyes. Disgaea 7 also boasts new gameplay additions like a Hell Mode, online-ranked battles, and an improved auto-battle mode that should make Disgaea 7 a good trip on the Steam Deck....

“We are sad to inform you that V1 Interactive is officially closing,” they announced. “We want to thank all the talented people at V1, both past and present, who helped make the last 5 years wonderful. And a heartfelt thanks to the amazing community that supported us.” Back in January 2020, Imogen got to chat with Lehto about Disintegration prior to its launch several months later. “It’s a big risk we’re taking to build this game in and to try to fill this kind of niche that doesn’t exist at the moment,” he said....

Does Dying Light 2 Have New Game Plus

Below, we’ll cover everything you need to know about new game plus in Dying Light 2. Does Dying Light 2 have a new game plus mode? Unfortunately, Dying Light 2 does not have new game plus at launch. For now, if you want to replay the story and see how different choices can influence the world and factions in Dying Light 2, you’ll need to start a fresh save.

Doom Running Inside A Pregnancy Test Why Not

Yes, it’s controlled with a keyboard, not… anything else. Foone Turing has been fiddling with Equate pregnancy tests for a few days, sharing results on Twitter. They started out taking one apart to check stories that the digital testers use the same old paper test strip as analogue tests, they just have digital bits to read the lines and translate those into “Pregnant” and “Not Pregnant” messages on a screen....

Dota 2 S Halloween Event Is Back This Year

The seasonal game mode, also called Diretide, is a showdown between two teams to collect most taffy while avoiding Roshan in a best of five rounds match. Cutting down creeps or other players will net you some taffy to store in your Home Bucket. You’ll want to avoid Roshan though, who will give you a shakedown over whatever taffy you have in your pockets when he comes across you. Throughout the Diretide season, playing any matches—regular or spooky—will get you Diretide points to spend on rewards....

Dungeons Dragons Dark Alliance Is Out Now

Set in the chilly D&D location, the Icewind Dales, Dark Alliance will have you play as one of four characters either solo or in online co-op (local co-op is coming in a later update) battling through goblins galore. Flight Of The Conchords’ Jermaine Clement explains it all much better (and funnier) than I can in the trailer below. Alas, from the sounds of things, D&D: Dark Alliance has a lot of problems that need fixing before it’s as fun to play as Jermaine Clement makes it sound....

Ea Are Buying Codemasters Now For 1 2 Billion

Grand Theft Auto publisher, Take-Two, originally valued Codemasters at around £739 million (around $973 million), while EA have topped that with their £914 million (around $1.2 billion) valuation. Which is just more money than I can possibly get my head around. EA and Codemasters say they’ve reached an agreement now, but it won’t be finalised until the “first quarter of 2021”. So, Take-Two do still have time to make a counter-offer, if they want....

Elden Ring Is Roughly 30 Hours Long And That S Great News

News of Elden Ring’s playtime comes from the Taipei Game Show, where Kitao confirmed that the game had gone gold and answered plenty of questions, including how long it’ll take to beat. “This will differ significantly by player, but in terms of the targets set during development, the idea is that the main route should be able to be completed within around 30 hours. The game as a whole is quite massive and contains many dozens more hours worth of gameplay, but if we are talking about the main route only, it shouldn’t take much longer than that....
