Behold: As always, you’ll need the power of the best graphics cards to run ray tracing, even if Battlefield 2042 limits its implementation to ray traced ambient occlusion – basically the shadow effect that appears between objects placed next to each other. Still, for a while it wasn’t clear if 2042 would have ray tracing at all; ditching it would be a shame, as 2018’s Battlefield V was one of the first games to take a decent crack at the tech with ray traced reflections....

This time travelling, introspective visual novel picked a thread of my affection and tugged at it in the midst of the noise of EGX. It’s out now, and it looks as intriguing as I remember. That’s the new trailer, but I’m more fond of the older one. It captures the ambience of the game, or at least the parts I played, which were full of muted, mellow and inoffensively jazzy music, record scratches, and the gently soporific hubbub of pubs....

Get an Integral V Series v2 480GB SSD for £24 (was £27) There’s not too much to say about this 2.5-inch Integral SSD, so I’ll keep things brief. The Ebay listing is for a V Series v2 drive, which is available in capacities from 120GB to 2TB, and uses a SATA interface (no M.2 / NVMe). That means speeds in the region of 520MB/s reads and 470MB/s writes, or about the same as your average SATA SSD - and of course well faster than your average hard drive....

There’s a stunning variety of Minecraft texture packs out there nowadays. Some packs update every single block in the game to look different, while others only change one or two block types.

After the news of E3’s cancellation, some of the big names like Microsoft and Ubisoft shared their intent pivot to some digital format for their own planned announcements. Bethesda’s Pete Hines said today that “we will not host a digital showcase in June.” Yes, I know it’s April 1st but I don’t figure this is a gag. He sounds quite serious, and making a joke about a pandemic that’s been going on for months would be in poor taste, would it not?...

However, the Core i5-12600K being a brand new chip does have some disadvantages, such as a lack of lower-priced compatible motherboards – or backwards compatibility with older ones. Fitting in AMD’s long-used AM4 socket, the Ryzen 7 5800X is both more likely to work in an existing Ryzen-based PC build, and better-served in terms of motherboard availability.

Some Battle.net players may have experienced “high latency and disconnections” during the attack, Blizzard Support tweeted. The attack began shortly after a period of emergency maintenance left Overwatch 2 offline for an hour. Blizzard acknowledged through their forum that they were prioritising work to fix an issue that prevents players from accessing all their owned heroes, which they put down to a server error when tracking player progression. Along with the most recent DDoS attack, Overwatch 2 also saw two of its heroes temporarily withdrawn from play for bug fixes to their ability kits....

Might And Delight’s creative director Jakob Tuchten was quite apologetic about my fate, but a life is a small price for a surprise - the greatest gift to an old MMO player like me. I’m telling you this off the cuff because this is not, in fact, representative of my ten hours with Book Of Travels so far. Aside from my initial unwitting choice to spawn in a dangerous area, the Braided Shore is a serene world with a meditative pace....

Gearbox also today announced the second story expansion, a stag do gone monstrously wrong named Guns, Love, And Tentacles: The Marriage Of Wainwright & Hammerlock. “Thanks to some new SHiFT matchmaking functionality, you’ll be able to add friends to your Friends List, join co-op parties, and play together online regardless of which PC platform each player is using,” Gearbox said in today’s announcement. But they do note that they plan “to roll out additional PC crossplay features – such as the ability to mail weapons across platforms – in the weeks following the game’s launch on Steam,” so not everything will be supported on March 13th....

As Eurogamer report, 10v10 Shipment made a sneaky return in a small Modern Warfare update pushed last night - replacing the more reasonably-scaled Shipment 24/7 playlist, with the tagline “Call of Duty players only want one thing… and it’s disgusting.” Shipment, in case you’re unfamiliar, was not built to handle 20 players running and gunning about the place. It’s a microscopic arena - a handful of containers laid out at right angles, in a layout drawing heavily from Counter Strike’s infamous fy_iceworld....

So, your new Shadow Company agents are Rozlin “Roze” Helms, Velikan, and Marcus “Lerch” Ortega. They all sound like very tough soliders with deep dark backgrounds, and you can read more about them over on the Call Of Duty blog post.

I was extremely late to the party when it comes to Capcom’s long-running series of legal dramedy visual novels, which debuted all the way back in 2001. But I found my way here in the end, largely thanks to the aforementioned collection, which packages prettied-up versions of the original Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trilogy and its prequel duology The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles onto modern systems.

Capcom’s COO Haruhiro Tsujimoto told Nikkei at this week’s Tokyo Game Show, according to a translation by Bloomberg’s Takashi Mochizuki, that they want PC to be the main outlet for their games. By 2022 or 2023 they hope for 50% of their sales to come from PC. Capcom have had a busy year for PC games both old and new. They launched Resident Evil Village globally cross-platform in May, which had sold 4....
