“It’s never going to die,” he says. Pétursson tells me this over a call in a quiet, model-strewn office, red-haired and looking a little fed-up with internet meetings after a year of pandemic lockdown. “The pyramids, the Great Wall of China, the Bible, like, take your pick,” he says. “There’s a lot of things that go on forever. The concept of money, the US dollar… These are social constructs and games are no different....
Here’s the video announcing the move: So that’s: all champions unlocked in LoL, the Foundation Set unlocked in Legends Of Runeterra, some Little Legends unlocked in Teamfight Tactics, and all agents unlocked in Valorant. Thanks for the number of characters League Of Legends has, a Game Pass subscription is now a shortcut that lets you avoid spending hundreds or thousands of pounds or dollars, or allows you to dodge thousands of hours of grind....
Far: Changing Tides is set in a post-apocalyptic world, where forests and cities have been plunged underwater. It’s a side-scroller in which you’ll be able to explore the ocean depths on your travels, as well as any remaining structures you can find that aren’t submerged. “The reception to Far: Lone Sails was humbling, to know that people felt the same passion as we do about that world inspired us to continue to build on it with Changing Tides,” lead designer Don Schmocker said in a press release....
Learn about the different damage and ammo types in Far Cry 6 below, and how you can learn which enemies are susceptible to certain types of damage. Far Cry 6 ammo types and damage types explained Far Cry 6 offers plenty of different ways to inflict damage upon Dani’s enemies. Almost every weapon in the game can be outfitted to use one of six different ammo types: Standard Rounds - standard military grade ammo, no pros or cons....
“Our story is political,” the post begins. “A story about a modern revolution must be. There are hard, relevant discussions in Far Cry 6 about the conditions that lead to the rise of fascism in a nation, the costs of imperialism, forced labor, the need for free-and-fair elections, LGBTQ+ rights, and more within the context of Yara, a fictional island in the Caribbean. My goal was to empower our team to be fearless in the story we were telling, and we worked incredibly hard to do this over the last five years....
Watch it below ahead of the newly announced release date: August 23rd. If it’s farming you want, producer Naoki Yoshida showed the Island Sanctuary in-game for the first time during yesterday’s Letter From The Producer livestream. It starts around the 2h 15m mark in the archive. Your island sanctuary is designed as relaxing, solo content, where players can gather resources, grow crops, construct various facilities, and raise animals. You seemingly have a crew of minions to carry out some of the work for you, but you’ll be planting and watering crops yourself....
The island content was detailed in the latest ‘Letter From The Producer’. Unfortunately it’s not an actual letter, but an almost three-hour-long livestream currently archived on Twitch. You don’t need previous crating or gathering experience in order to work on your Island Sanctuary, which is described as “relaxing solo content.” Update 6.2 is also meant to continue the work of making FFXIV playable for solo players by expanding the NPC ’trust system’ so you can solo Heavensward dungeons....
There’s a bit in this trailer where a terrifying, mangled robot crawls out of a slide in a children’s play area, and I want absolutely none of that. I haven’t been in a shopping centre like this for over a year and after playing this game I don’t think I’ll want to ever again. Security Breach is set to be the biggest game in the series yet, moving away from the older games’ almost point and click-style, to a first-person experience where players can freely explore this giant mall....
Wait, come back! Keanu is in it a little bit! Phew. Thanks for returning. Yes, in this Night City Wire Special, Keanu Reeves reprises his classic role of ‘Keanu Reeves’ from the Keanu Reeves Hexalogy. There are no spoilers, as it’s more concerned with showing off the differences between the Xbox One X and the Xbox Series X. That might be to allay fears about the current generation of consoles after a recent investor call revealed that the latest delay was primarily down to the current gen builds needing additional development time....
The info comes by way of one of many Fortnite leak accounts, showing an icon and what looks like a background image. As of writing, the battle bus at sea is shown as the icon for a Fortnite ShareFactory Theme on PlayStation but not for the game itself. As usual, it looks pretty legit, though of course it’s not been confirmed by Epic Games. The underwater theme does seem to be in line with a lot of other elements leakers have been posting about....
The city of San Francisco has declared a local emergency in response to COVID-19. The San Francisco Department Of Public Health say there are still no cases of the virus reported in the city but that “given the high volume of international travel from SF, there is a growing likelihood that we will see cases eventually.” SFDPH say that the state of emergency will “mobilize city resources, streamline staffing, coordinate agencies across the city” in the event that COVID-19 does spread to the city....
Each year, GDC ask developers about their experiences and trends in the industry. This year they reportedly surveyed “nearly 4,000” developers, says the report. The survey asks developers about a number of other topics including hours worked per week, platforms they are currently developing for, and the business model that will be used for their current projects. Last year’s survey was the first that GDC asked developers if they believe the industry should unionise....
As you may have seen, I’m a big fan of both Glorious’ Model O- and symmetrical Model D gaming mice, so the prospect of another ultra lightweight wireless gaming mouse has my interest well and truly piqued - especially when it’s both cheaper and lighter than my trusty Logitech. It uses an all-new BAMF sensor, according to Glorious, with a maximum sensitivity speed of 19,000 DPI and tracking speed of 400 IPS, and its battery life is said to last for a hefty 71 hours if you leave its RGB lighting turned off....
These same sources reportedly have provided reliable information about GTA Online updates weeks and months before their release. That said, they are anonymous sources talking to a different outlet, and I can’t confirm their accuracy. Take all of this with a pinch of salt. According to the Kotaku report, the games will use a mix of “new and old graphics” and resemble “a heavily-modded version of a classic GTA title....
Actually, wait, the pond does sound quite dangerous. “This boss of the pond might only have one good eye, but it only needs one eye to notice you, and you never, ever, want it to notice you,” the devs say of that chonking great koi. So, uh, maybe avoid that one, then. Probably avoid the new diving bell spiders, too. Obsidian tease that these were added so that players can no longer use water to escape the game’s eight-legged beasts....
You can play Comparatively Famous free over through this link. It’s for one player, though you defs can enjoy playing while your pals on Discord/Zoom/whatever are also playing and shouting e.g. “ONLY $49 FOR PAUL CHUCKLE?” The game is five rounds long, with the first four asking you to rank three celebs in order of price, with bonus points for guessing the price of a random one. Then in the final round, you’re given a budget to book a party, and have to draft from a wide selection of celebs without overspending....
Several years later, FFXIV seems to have earned that title in the MMO space, but Guild Wars 2 isn’t done. While announcing the next expansion End Of Dragons had slipped into next year, ArenaNet also announced several new hires and changes designed to prepare the aged MMO for a long term future. All the news was shared in a lengthy blog post on the Guild Wars 2 site. First, the delay to End Of Dragons into early next year, which was pinned on “the real-world challenges of the past year and a half have changed the way we live and work”....

Suggestions that Halo’s multiplayer would come without a pricetag started to surface a few days ago. As reported by The Verge, a now-removed listing from Smyth’s toy stores suggesting the freeness of Infinite’s arenas - along with 120fps on Xbox Series X hardware - was backed up by a reliable Xbox leaker. Last night, 343 confirmed both rumours via the Halo Twitter account. Yes, Halo Infinite’s multiplayer will be free-to-play - and if it’s running at a buttery 120fps on Xbox, it’ll probably be a delight to run on your beefed-up desktop....
Anyone looking to build a pastoral paradise is going to be sorely disappointed, as the farming elements are somewhat rudimentary. Even calling your property a farm is a bit of a stretch. Even after a few upgrades, my plot is more of a large garden, maybe an allotment, if I’m being generous. If calling your plot a farm is overselling things, the initial description of your dwelling as a shed is quite the opposite....
