PCGamesN Saturday, December 18, 2021 5:41 PM Elite Dangerous carrier interiors have shops, NPCs, and crew quarters       Getting your hands on a Drake-class fleet carrier in Elite: Dangerous is no small task, but it's about to become even more rewarding. Frontier Developments has revealed some alpha footage of the fleet carrier interiors that are coming to Elite Dangerous: Odyssey early next year, providing a short walk-through of the space game's grandest capital ships. Senior game designer Derin Halil provides some explanation throughout the video, which you can watch below. Drake-class fleet carriers, introduced in 2020, are Elite's biggest vessels, and they're persistent objects in the game world, much like stations. In fact, carriers function similarly to stations, providing a place for players to come buy and sell goods, pick up missions, upload cartographic data, and more, depending on what the carrier's owner has outfitted the ship with. The big difference, of course, is that carriers have frame shift drives and can travel across the galaxy at will. While that's all handled through menus now, when Elite Dangerous: Odyssey Update 11 arrives in early 2022, you'll be able to stroll around inside carriers once you've landed. You can hang out in the bar or browse the wares at Pioneer Supplies, both of which carrier owners can manage in order to make a tidy profit.

PCGamesN Saturday, December 18, 2021 1:19 PM Final Fantasy VII Remake on Epic accidentally suggests a Steam release       A Final Fantasy VII Remake Steam release seems to have been all but confirmed thanks to the recently released Epic Games Store version, ironically enough. Modders digging into the remake's files on Epic have found reference to a Steam release - and have even found its app number, suggesting the page is ready to go. The release of Final Fantasy VII Remake on PC has been long-awaited and heavily rumoured, so many were relieved to see it finally get announced at The Game Awards earlier this month - for a surprise release last Thursday as an Epic Games Store exclusive, much like fellow Square Enix RPG Kingdom Hearts III. However, it's not been a smooth release. Aside from the incredibly tough PC hardware requirements, the remake is lacking many graphical options and suffers from major performance issues - which prompted fans to start poking around in the game's files. Alongside the weird detail that the build on Epic is still marked as an early debug version, modders also found reference to a Steam release. View the full site

PCGamesN Saturday, December 18, 2021 12:07 PM Cookie Clicker gets full Steam Workshop mod support       One of the most addictive games on Steam, Cookie Clicker now has even more ways to joyously waste people's time - thanks to the efforts of other people. Yes, developer Orteil has confirmed full Cookie Clicker mod support via Steam Workshop - and there are already many mods of questionable nutritious value to choose from. Cookie Clicker has always been one of the best idle games around and helped pretty much establish the whole idea as a genre. Despite being around for almost ten years it finally launched on Steam in August this year. Cookie Clicker then quickly established itself as one of the most popular games on Steam. Developer Orteil just released version 2.043 and it's a pretty exciting one, as it now adds an infinite amount more ways to happily waste time - thanks to the inclusion of full mod support via Steam Workshop. A quick browse shows 70 mods already available, ranging from small changes to adding entire minigames to play while you're clicking. View the full site

PCGamesN Saturday, December 18, 2021 10:57 AM Epic's free game today isn't Bloodborne but is one of PC's best Soulslikes       As part of its holiday celebration we're once again getting treated to a daily free game from the Epic Games Store, and today's title is one of the best Soulslikes on PC. Remnant: From The Ashes was one of the most-lauded games of 2019 and it's completely free, but only for the next 24 hours - so you better go grab it quick. PC gamers are still waiting on the inevitable port of From Software's classic Bloodborne on PC, to say nothing of the delay of Elden Ring, but anyone looking to scratch that Soulslike itch could do far worse than give Remnant: Beyond The Ashes a try - especially as it's currently free on the Epic Games Store for the next day.

PCGamesN Saturday, December 18, 2021 10:23 AM FFVII Remake's poor PC performance might be because it's a debug build       After over a year and a half of waiting, Final Fantasy VII Remake is finally out on PC as an Epic Games Store exclusive - but players aren't happy, with many reporting poor performance, stuttering, and the lack of graphics options. Worse still, modders digging into the port's files have found that Square Enix seems to have released a debug build. It's long been rumoured that the Final Fantasy VII Remake would come to PC, so there was much rejoicing from fans when it was finally announced at the Game Awards last week for a surprise release on December 16. However, beyond the tough hardware requirements and ridiculously inflated price point, the celebration turned sour when players discovered how the port ran. As Digital Foundry's Alex Battaglia calls it, Final Fantasy VII Remake "is literally the worst AAA release I have seen on PC in a good long time". Massive stuttering issues, framerate drops, and the lack of crucial graphics settings like anti-aliasing or toggles for pretty much any option to improve performance all mar the experience.

PCGamesN Saturday, December 18, 2021 11:08 AM New World is getting a Wheel of Time event for Christmas       Despite being only out for a few months, New World is getting its first crossover event with Amazon's other major fantasy property - no, not Lord of the Rings, it's The Wheel of Time Amazon Prime series, which will let players get access to a number of outfits and items themed around the show. New World is in the middle of its Winter Convergence Festival event right now, which runs through to January 11 and features seasonal quests, presents to recover and deliver, new resources to gather, and a new enemy called the Winter Warrior who is waging a war to create a "forever winter" - who will probably stick around even after the festival is up. As part of the event, Amazon has confirmed a crossover between New World and The Wheel of Time fantasy universes - which will take the form of Twitch Drops that'll be available on December 23 to coincide with the series' final episode, and will run until the end of the festival on January 11.

PCGamesN Saturday, December 18, 2021 7:12 AM What if: Capcom gave Dino Crisis a Resident Evil-like remake?       Following the success of its Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil 3 remakes, and news that a Resident Evil 4 remake is also on the way, I think it's about time Capcom resurrected another videogame series from its survival horror library: Dino Crisis. If it were possible to buy, download, and play it today then you could make an argument for it being one of the best horror games on PC, and it's a terrible shame that Capcom has seemingly left the series to go extinct. Admittedly, it wasn't so long ago when the meatheaded lows of games like Resident Evil 6 and Dead Space 3 all but killed the genre. But PT and Alien: Isolation provided a spark of inspiration back in 2014, which was fanned by the likes of Resident Evil 7, The Evil Within 2, and Prey. Now survival horror games are as popular as they've ever been. Just imagine how big they'd be now if Silent Hills had actually been released. It's not a question of whether or not Capcom can remake Dino Crisis - the recent Resident Evil remakes provide both the perfect template and technical foundation for such a project - so let's make the case for why it should.

PCGamesN Saturday, December 18, 2021 6:56 AM A new Ghostbusters game with the classic team is "definitely happening"       None other than Winston Zeddemore himself, Ernie Hudson, has confirmed that a new Ghostbusters game is "definitely happening" and will be based around the classic team - last seen in 2019's Ghostbusters: The Video Game Remastered and in last month's Ghostbusters: Afterlife movie. Back in October, it was seemingly confirmed that developer Illfonic - who made Predator: Hunting Grounds and Friday the 13th: The Game - is currently working on a Ghostbusters game, which will presumably be a co-op multiplayer game based on the studio's other titles. This was according to Illfonic's co-founder Raphael Saadiq, who let it slip during a podcast interview. Ernie Hudson made an appearance this week at the Celebrity Fan Fest in San Antonio, Texas, and in a Q&A session recorded by Countdown City Geeks (via Ghostbusters News) he confirmed "we're doing another video game". Hudson says that he and Dan Ackroyd are recording for it soon, although he doesn't know if Bill Murray will be involved this time - or when it'll actually release. "When they'll bring it out, I don't know, but it's definitely happening." View the full site

PCGamesN Saturday, December 18, 2021 5:55 AM Rainbow Six and SWAT heir Ready or Not is out now in early access       December 18, 2021: Ready or Not has now released in early access along with an expensive Supporter Edition. While Ubisoft's Rainbow Six: Siege goes from strength to strength, many fans may be hungering for the classic Rainbow Six or SWAT tactical FPS vibes that Ready or Not is planning to provide. Now, four and half years since it was announced, Ready or Not has finally hit its early access release. Ready or Not is tactical FPS made as a spiritual successor to classic Rainbow Six and SWAT games which was announced way back in May 2017. Developed by VOID Interactive, earlier this year it was announced that Ready or Not would be published by Team 17 - as well as confirmed that it would launch in Steam Early Access first. Just last week VOID Interactive finally confirmed that Ready or Not will hit early access this month - albeit, by the sounds of it, a little earlier than the team would've liked. While an early "supporter edition" of Ready of Not has already been released, VOID apparently couldn't persuade Steam to provide more keys for this version of the game without going live - so that's what the team is going to do.

PCGamesN Friday, December 17, 2021 6:38 PM Banished-style city builder Settlement Survival details its next six months of updates       Settlement Survival turned the heads of city builder fans with its lovely low-poly visuals and its take on Banished-style survival earlier this year, and the devs have announced that it's sold nearly 100,000 copies in Steam Early Access. Now, with a successful foundation in place, Gleamer Studio has revealed what to expect from the next six months of updates. "We've already delivered over 20 updates since October," the devs explain in the announcement. "Now our roadmap stretches all the way to Q2 2022. We aim to deliver major improvements and content across almost every area of the game. From reworking our storage systems to new factions, trade, and a partial UI rework, it will also see the addition of new stories, modes, and improved map elements." Settlement Survival is due to launch in full sometime next year, but for now you can look forward to a holiday event keeping spirits bright through the end of 2021. This update will introduce buildable Christmas trees and snowmen, and even some Santa hats for your settlers to wear. View the full site

PCGamesN Friday, December 17, 2021 6:09 PM The "anti-RPG" that inspired Undertale is now on Steam       There are a lot of very strange games for the original PlayStation, and many of them never came out in English. That was the case with moon: Remix RPG Adventure, an "anti-RPG" whose unique mechanics and empathetic storytelling made it a cult classic, and inspired some of the most notable entries in the world of indie games. moon got an overdue official translation on Switch last year, and now it's available on Steam. You can grab moon: Remix RPG Adventure at a 10% launch discount on Steam, bringing the price down to $17.09 / £13.04 / €14.39. (It's also just launched on PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5.) The devs have also made an English-translated manual available, and if you've any intention of making it through moon, you're gonna need the help. moon is still a bizarre, obtuse little game that's unique even today. You play as a videogame-loving kid sucked into the world of a traditional RPG. But once you're there, you find that the world's been ravaged by a so-called 'hero', who's been running around murdering innocent creatures and rifling through everyone's houses for spare change.
