Kotaku Thursday, February 3, 2022 2:20 PM  When the Nintendo Switch launched in 2017, it promised to marry console-quality games with the convenient portability of a handheld device. For the most part, that promise has borne out, changing how we play games in ways both big and small. It's certainly made air travel less tedious. |

Kotaku Thursday, February 3, 2022 12:25 PM  Some Genshin Impact players refuse to play the game the way that it's meant to be played, and I respect that. Yesterday, Reddit user Ezmankong posted a video in which they used playable character Ningguang to spectacularly bounce off two cliffsides and avoided dying of fall damage, and it's a marvel to see. |

PCGamesN Thursday, February 3, 2022 3:11 PM  Company of Heroes 3 looks and feels a lot like its predecessors in many ways, at least once battles break out. But its dynamic 'sandbox' approach to the campaign means the developers have had to create missions that can accommodate a huge variety of unit types and approaches. The developers of the upcoming RTS game say they've built missions to be flexible and challenging, no matter which company and equipment you bring to the fight. In Company of Heroes games of the past (with the exception of the Ardennes Assault DLC campaign for Company of Heroes 2), missions played out in a specific, story-driven sequence. That meant the mission designers knew exactly which units would be involved from the start, and could tailor the missions for specific engagements. That's very much not the case with Company of Heroes 3, where the campaign map presents a wide variety of options for each move, and you have a persistent company of soldiers that you can outfit and upgrade as you see fit. You might be playing as a British company or an American one; you might have brought tanks, or you may have invested more in logistics support.

PCGamesN Thursday, February 3, 2022 1:47 PM  Yes, this is a PC gaming site. But PC gaming is all about options, and we love having the option to play our computer games where we want, even portably. (That's why we're so excited about the Steam Deck release date.) Yu-Gi-Oh: Master Duel instantly rocketed up the Steam Charts with its PC launch in January, and now the game is available on mobile, too, with full cross-play and cross-progression. Yu-Gi-Oh: Master Duel is available today on both iOS via the App Store and Android via the Google Play Store. Those versions join Steam, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series S and X, and Switch with full cross-play and cross-progression across all of them. Wherever you want to play Yu-Gi-Oh, you can, carrying your progress and stats everywhere you go. Player counts for Yu-Gi-Oh: Master Duel have been holding strong since launch. It's been cemented in Steam's top ten, and regularly reaches daily concurrent peaks between 150k and 200k, putting it in league with the likes of Apex Legends and Grand Theft Auto V.

PCGamesN Thursday, February 3, 2022 1:08 PM  Phil Spencer is going to get a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Academy of Interactive Arts & Sciences. As the Xbox boss, Spencer has already shaken up the industry enough for that award to make sense, and is likely to do a whole lot more before his career comes to a close. The funny bit is that he's going to receive that award via his own employee: Skyrim magnate Todd Howard. "Phil Spencer has demonstrated both passion and leadership throughout his entire career at Microsoft. He's responsible for countless impactful and pivotal initiatives that have reverberated throughout the entire gaming industry," AIAS president Meggan Scavio says in a press release. "On behalf of the Academy's board of directors, we are looking forward to celebrating Spencer's important impact on videogame history by presenting him with our Lifetime Achievement Award." The award presentation will be part of the 25th annual DICE Awards, set to stream on Thursday, February 24 at 8pm PST / 11pm EST, or Friday, February 25 at 4am GMT. Todd Howard will present the award to Spencer, and if he doesn't make an awkward joke about having to hand his boss a prestigious trophy, I don't know what I'm going to do.

PCGamesN Thursday, February 3, 2022 12:32 PM  French developer Eugen Systems has been busy with the Early Access launch of its new Cold War-era RTS Warno lately, but that doesn't mean it's moved on from its most recent WW2 game, Steel Division 2. A new historical expansion pack is out today that pays tribute to the Italian Campaign, and it includes eight new divisions and more than 300 new individual units. Tribute to the Liberation of Italy includes historical units that were involved in the Italian Campaign, specifically in the areas north of Rome in 1944. Axis forces in the pack include 5. Gebirgsjäger mountain troops, the 4. Fallschirmjäger, the 26. Panzerdivision, and the Italian nationalist 4a Divisione Alpini "Monterosa". On the Allied side, the pack adds the 6th South African Armoured Division, the Corpo Italiano di Liberazione, the 8th Indian (Infantry) Division, and Task Force 45 - a singular and short-lived formation made up of Japanese-American and Brazilian anti-aircraft artillery soldiers who were reassigned as infantry while in theatre and used their AA guns as improvised patrol and close support weapons. |
PCGamesN Thursday, February 3, 2022 12:25 PM  There have been a lot of licensed Musou games, bringing the Dynasty Warriors concept to a wide range of fictional universes. Like the main series, they've varied wildly in quality, but the best can be something special - and a world of lightsabers, armoured troopers, and battle droids seems like a perfect fit. At least one Dynasty Warriors dev feels the same way, too. "Within the dev team, a lot of different IP and works have been brought up," producer Akihiro Suzuki tells German outlet JPGames. "This is solely my own opinion, but my own personal wish would be for a Star Wars crossover." (After passing this idea around the PCGN Slack chat for a bit, we're all very excited at the thought of mowing down battle droids by the hundreds in some Clone Wars Musou.) Sadly, that's just an offhand comment from Suzuki, but given how wide the Star Wars franchise has spread at this point, it's not out of the question. The license is now with Ubisoft, EA, and more, so who knows how much further it may spread. |
PCGamesN Thursday, February 3, 2022 12:26 PM  With top-of-the-line optical switches, RGB lighting, and detachable numpads, it's easy to forget that our keyboards weren't originally intended to play games. Now, it's difficult to imagine a setup without one, but Edward Larkin, former Razer elite innovation designer and pioneer of the mouse bungee, thinks "gaming keyboards are the dinosaurs of the modern gaming world and need to go the way of the dodo." What should rise up in its place? A controller, of course; but not just any old gamepad: PLA Lab's Alt Motion Controller. While your regular PC controller comes with the bonus of pressure-sensitive analogue inputs, losing your gaming mouse leaves you at a distinct disadvantage in FPS games - at least without the aid of aim assist. There are a handful of Wooting, Cooler Master, and Razer gaming keyboards with analogue switches if you don't mind paying the premium, but then you face subpar ergonomics. The Alt controller aims to blend the best of both worlds, offering a bunch of strategically-placed analogue sticks while co-existing with your rodent. If it holds up to its promise, you'll never have to stretch your fingers from W, A, S, and D to G again. RELATED LINKS: Razer Thresher Ultimate review, Razer Blade review, Best gaming headset |
PCGamesN Thursday, February 3, 2022 12:03 PM  New World developer Amazon Games is kicking off a brand-new PTR (Public Testing Realm) today to let players get an early test drive of some new features and changes headed the MMORPG's way. While the new stuff is pretty wide-ranging, there are some changes coming up for the game's 20-versus-20 Outpost Rush mode as well as to some combat features, including weapon swapping. First up, there are some changes to Outpost Rush's scoring and rewards up for testing. "Scoring mechanisms for contribution have been reworked," the devs explain in the patch notes, with three key updates made: dealing damage will now increase player scores, and the number of points given for killing both enemy players and AI foes have been decreased. As for the rewards players get for diving in, you'll find completing a match now awards Faction Tokens. Outpost Rush caches now grant two pieces of armour specific to the mode, as well as a mode-exclusive weapon. "In addition, there's also an added 15% chance of receiving a fourth item which may be a piece of Outpost Rush-specific jewellery," the devs add, while the likelihood of rewards from the mode resulting in increased Expertise ratings has increased "significantly".

PCGamesN Thursday, February 3, 2022 12:00 PM  After more than two years of global lockdowns, videogame delays, and show cancellations, there's a glimmer of light shining down on the industry's event calendar. W.A.S.D is a brand-new consumer event that's happening this spring at Tobacco Dock in Wapping, London. Taking centre stage at the London Games Festival, W.A.S.D will run from April 7-9, 2022, and is a chance for players, publishers, developers, and content creators to come together in a relaxed setting that caters to fans of both indie and big-budget games. There'll be plenty of indie games in attendance - including Medallion Games' Grapple Dog, Y/CJ/Y's Post Void, and Triple Hill Interactive's Die by the Blade - as well as studios and publishers like Snowcastle Games and Devolver Digital. It'll also feature a number of talks about getting into the industry, covering every aspect from press and PR, to game development, publishing and plenty more. There's something for everyone, whether you want to check out the next wave of indie greats or meet a dev. RELATED LINKS: Best indie games, What is WASD?, Upcoming PC games |
PCGamesN Thursday, February 3, 2022 11:15 AM  Want to know where to find the Seven Outposts in Fortnite? We are just over halfway through the season challenges in Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 1, and some of the tasks are a tad trickier than you may initially think. The rewards are substantial, though, as every quest gives you a ton of experience you can put towards completing the battle pass and unlocking its Fortnite skins and some free Fortnite V-bucks. Visiting the Seven Outposts is one of the steps towards unlocking the Foundation skin, but there are many other reasons to visit these areas in a match. For example, a season challenge asks you to use rift generators at three different Seven Outposts. The rifts are the suspended shapes found close to the generator at the edge of each Seven Outpost, and you only need to build a small ramp to touch them. One of the story missions also asks you to visit a Seven Outpost to deliver a data disk you take from an eliminated IO guard to a drop zone. Previous missions include discovering the Fortnite device and destroying the Fortnite signal jammers, and just like those, you need to finish the new task all in one match. However, this can be tricky as other players may ambush you. To help, we have a map showing all of the Fortnite Seven Outpost locations below.

PCGamesN Thursday, February 3, 2022 11:14 AM  The Mad Maggie you'll meet in Apex Legends' next update is designed to be an aggressive playmaker. She runs quicker with a shotgun equipped and her wrecking ball provides a speed boost to allies who get behind it. However, an earlier iteration of her kit was designed for a more breach-focused character who wielded a riot shield and used flashbangs. She sounds like the sort of person who would ruin your day in Call of Duty. Gameplay engineer Chris Winder explains during a press panel that the team were experimenting with a breacher-style character that was inspired by Polish winged hussars. The idea was to create a one-woman SWAT team who could tackle some of the defensive legends' abilities to lock down a building. At specific points during her initial design phase, she used a flashbang and riot shield, and had a shotgun attached to her leg which she could kick down doors with. The kit threw up a lot of challenges as the team didn't want something that would be too strong indoors while being fairly ineffective out in the open. Once Maggie came along, however, the team felt like they had the perfect legend to take up the kit due to her aggressive personality. Having someone with a fleshed-out story and background also helped answer some of the team's questions about the design. Her affinity for shotguns is one of the few things to survive, though you'll see some of her kit origins in the way she pushes towards foes, too.

PCGamesN Thursday, February 3, 2022 11:02 AM  Update 3.3 for Battlefield 2042 has been delayed slightly, as the developers take some time to work in some additional changes to the multiplayer game. The patch, which will include a planned "refresh" to the in-game scoreboard, was originally scheduled to launch sometime in "mid to late February," but will now arrive in early March. In the meantime, the developers have rolled out a small hotfix today, February 3, to address some stability issues that have cropped up since update 3.2. Earlier this week, they announced that the first season of Battlefield 2042 has been delayed until the summer, and the beginning of that season will mark the beginning of a full year of seasonal content updates, Dice says. In January, Dice shared a work-in-progress look at the refreshed scoreboard screen, which will include an at-a-glance view of relevant information like ribbon progression, overall team scores, and individual player performance stats like personal score contribution, kills, assists, and the weight of each stat. The plan is to include the refreshed scoreboard design in update 3.3, which will now arrive sometime in "early March" according to the updated plan.

PCGamesN Thursday, February 3, 2022 11:02 AM  It's Thursday, and you know what that means – another round of free PC games from the Epic Games Store. This week, you can grab the platformer Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair, and as ever, Epic has revealed next week's freebie, too. Once the time comes, you'll be able to pick up survival RPG Windbound. You'll be able to grab Windbound from the usual Epic Games Store promotion page on Thursday, February 10 at 8am PST / 11am EST / 4pm GMT. It'll be there for one full week, at which point it'll be replaced by another freebie. As always, you'll 'purchase' the game at a price of zero dollars, and it'll remain in your library just like any game you might pay money for. Here's the Windbound blurb from the store: "Shipwrecked alone on an uncharted island, explore, adapt and navigate the land and perilous seas to stay alive. As Kara, you are a warrior, caught at sea in a fierce storm, adrift from your tribe. Thrown from your boat, at the mercy of the turbulent waters, you are tossed on to the shores of the Forbidden Islands, a mysterious paradise." |
PCGamesN Thursday, February 3, 2022 11:02 AM  Dying Light 2's release date is upon us, and Nvidia just announced that the survival horror RPG is coming to GeForce Now. While the game's ray tracing elements demand a lot from gaming PCs, the streaming service gives RTX 3080 members a chance to enhance Techland's apocalyptic sequel without owning one of the green team's best graphics card. One of Dying Light 2's key mechanics is its dynamic day-night cycle, which uses ray tracing to hammer home its ever-changing cityscapes. Of course, not everyone has a GPU that's capable of such feats, and Techland's RT system requirements recommend an RTX 3080 for 1080p 60fps gameplay. It's worth noting that you'll need a reliable internet connection to use GeForce Now, but the cloud service could help fans experience everything Dying Light 2 has to offer. In an Nvidia blog post, Techland's rendering director, Tomasz Szałkowski, says that players can experience the game "exactly as intended with the RTX 3080 membership, even when playing on underpowered devices."

PCGamesN Thursday, February 3, 2022 10:11 AM  If, like many Star Wars fans, you've found yourself a little disappointed with the lack of epic blaster battles in The Book of Boba Fett, it might be time to get back to some classic pew-pew fighting in a galaxy far, far away. Luckily, with Humble currently offering Star Wars: Battlefront II for just $7.99, it's cheap and easy to do just that. First released in 2017, Star Wars: Battlefront II quickly became a firm favourite with fans of the Skywalker saga. This game appeals to many who love the series, as it's a celebration of all things Star Wars, bringing together iconic characters and settings from every era. Our Star War: Battlefront II heroes guide will give you an insight into the game's roster. Right from the start, you have all of the characters unlocked and you are able to customise them based on your preferred playstyle. With a broad selection of different stages on top of that, it's a game that can provide a lot of variety and you may find the online battles very moreish.

PCGamesN Thursday, February 3, 2022 10:21 AM  How long is Dying Light 2? We get it, your time is precious. You want to make sure you're not going to be stuck playing a game for longer than you feel comfortable. Given some of the recent discourse around Techland's new parkour zombie game you may also be worried that Dying Light 2 is too long. At the start of January, developer Techland claimed that Dying Light 2 would take 500 hours to complete. This is five times bigger than when the studio last spoke up on this issue when it claimed the game would take 100 hours to finish back in 2019. The studio later clarified in a tweet that the 500 hours comment related to the "time needed to max out the game with all main and side quests, choices, and endings, checking every place on the map, every dialogue, and finding every collectible". Assuming you're not bothered about all that, the main story can actually be completed in around 20 hours.

PCGamesN Thursday, February 3, 2022 9:54 AM  OlliOlli World, a new skateboarding game on the way from developer Roll7 and publisher Private Division, drops early next week, and the reviews are now pouring in. Critics across the industry have been getting stuck into its 2D 'boarding and letting us know what they thought - so now it's time to see whether it'll be worth your hard-earned pennies when it arrives. Well, the answer so far seems to be a resounding 'yes'. The game has already hit a very hearty critics' average of 83 (all platforms) and 85 (PC) on aggregate review sites Opencritic and Metacritic, respectively, based on write-ups so far. There are plenty of glowing reviews in the mix, with a bunch of scores sitting in the mid-to-high eighties and nineties on the scale. For example, Eurogamer's unscored review gives OlliOlli World the 'essential' stamp, calling it "a thrilling leap forward for a magical skating series". Polygon's (also unscored) take says that "OlliOlli World captures the essence of skateboarding, and then makes it weird", noting it's a "mystical realm for you to grind through". PCGamesN's own review will be up and ready to check out before the game launches next week. RELATED LINKS: Best PC games, New PC games, Best skateboard games |
PCGamesN Thursday, February 3, 2022 9:22 AM  2022 is shaping up to be an exciting year in the battle between AMD and Intel for the title of best gaming CPU, with both companies releasing new processors towards the end of the year. While Ryzen 5000 Zen 3 chips continue to perform well in gaming PCs and for AMD, everyone is waiting to see how the company's next generation Ryzen 7000 Zen 4 CPUs will compete with Intel's upcoming Raptor Lake processors. When Zen 4 releases in H2 2022, we will finally see support for PCIe Gen5 and DDR5 gaming RAM on AMD's Ryzen CPUs. This will bring the company's processor offerings in line with Intel, which has supported both technologies since Alder Lake's release in 2021. However, a combination of 3D V-Cache and a 5nm manufacturing process could see team red's chips outclass those from team blue by a significant margin, making Ryzen Zen 4 CPUs the ideal partner to the best graphics cards such as the Nvidia RTX 4000 GPU lineup.

PCGamesN Thursday, February 3, 2022 9:12 AM  It's 2022, and AMD plans to paint your gaming PC red with its next-generation AMD RDNA 3 GPUs and Zen 4 CPUs. The new Radeon pixel pushers will likely rank amongst the best graphics cards available, but they'll face stiff competition from the likes of Nvidia's GeForce RTX 4000 and Intel's Arc Alchemist product stacks. RDNA 3 graphics cards will undoubtedly offer greater performance than the current RDNA 2 based Radeon RX 6000 series, AMD FSR's lack of AI-enhancement could prove to be a weak point in the company's arsenal. Intel XeSS aims to boost fps and deliver image quality akin to Nvidia DLSS across all GPU brands, which could see it push out AMD FSR entirely. On the bright side, AMD CEO Lisa Su reckons RDNA 3 shouldn't be as affected by the ongoing chip shortage to the same degree graphics cards have been for the past two years.

Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Thursday, February 3, 2022 11:52 AM  I have played Vampire Survivors twice - that's two (2) times - in total. In only that short space of time, the arcade-style game has sunk its teeth into me. You swat away hordes of monsters with weapons and magic that fire automatically. All it needs from you is one hand on the wheel. You are, in essence, the pale captain of a battleship that must weave its way through demons and bats. The garlic and holy water cannons will take care of the rest. Not only do I crave more vampiric survival, but I also wish it had been released years ago. This is the perfect pre-lesson huddle.

The cast of characters in the English version of DOAXVV is growing, as Koei Tecmo announced Tina Armstrong is already available in the game. She's available in the Star Outfit Gacha. It will run until February 17, 2022 and uses V-stones. She wears the Dream Chaser (Tina) SSR swimsuit. This is something of an unusual addition. Normally, there is a delay between DOAXVV characters being added in Japan and worldwide. However, Tina joined the Japanese version of the game at the end of January 2022. She's also among the few mainline DOA heroines added after launch. Typically, original characters are added. This means that there's also an English version of the Tina Armstrong DOAXVV trailer. If you turn on closed captions, English subtitles are available. Yuko Nagashima returns to voice her for this spin-off. She's played the pro-wrestler since DOA 2, Aside from Tina, one of the other new characters in DOAXVV is Koharu. The original heroine showed up back in November 2021. Dead or Alive Xtreme Venus Vacation is playable in English on PCs via Johren and Steam. Tina Armstrong will be available in the Star Outfit Gacha until February 17, 2022.

New sales data is in for Super Smash Bros Ultimate, which means new insight into the Super Smash Bros series as a whole. The Nintendo Financial Results Explanatory Material 3rd Quarter of Fiscal Year Ending March 2022 report noted new sales figures for the Switch entry. It is now at 27.4 million copies sold worldwide as of December 2021. This is following 3.3 million in sales between April 2021 and December 2021. As Niko Partners Senior Analyst Daniel "ZhugeEx" Ahmad pointed out, this means the series passed 69 million copies sold. Here is the graph Ahmad shared. It covers every entry since the original Super Smash Bros' debut on the Nintendo 64 in 1999. Melee followed on the GameCube in 2001. In 2008, Brawl showed up on the Wii. Six years later, Super Smash Bros launched on the 3DS and Wii U in 2014. Ultimate followed in 2018. (As a reminder, Super Smash Bros Ultimate set a sales record for the series at launch when 1.23 million copies sold in its first three days in Japan.)
In 2021, the last of the Super Smash Bros Ultimate DLC fighters appeared. The run ended with Kingdom Hearts' Sora joining the roster. However, extra Spirits like Evil Ryu still showed up. In a Famitsu interview, creator Masahiro Sakurai said there were no plans for a sequel yet. Super Smash Bros Ultimate is available for the Nintendo Switch.

The Honkai Impact 3rd 5.5 update is on the way in February 2022, and it will bring with it the Durandal Palatinus Equinox battlesuit. To help people prepare for the new IMG-type S-rank battlesuit, miHoYo shared a video looking at how the team made it. In particular, it goes over the Guardian and Knight forms of it. With Palatinus Equinox, players can swap between two roles for Durandal. In her Guardian form, she carries the shield and uses it when fighting. It is said to be better equipped to fight enemies with strong attacks. Specifically, "aggressive" ones were mentioned. When she shifts into Knight, she'll ride atop a horse and use both it and her lance to attack. That form is the more agile of the two. It's designed to deal with faster enemies, or perhaps even more of them. Here's the latest Honkai Impact 3rd making of video for Durandal. Note that it begins by looking at her backstory and motivations, so there will be spoilers if you aren't caught up with the game. (English subtitles are available if you turn on closed captions.) In addition to the new look at the 5.5 battlesuit, miHoYo also shared Honkai Impact 3rd music. The Paradox Original Soundtrack is available to stream now.
Honkai Impact 3rd is available on PCs and mobile devices, and its 5.5 update will arrive and bring Palatinus Equinox on February 24, 2022. People can also earn the Spina Astera S-Rank battlesuit after the update. The post See the Honkai Impact 3rd Palatinus Equinox Durandal Battlesuit appeared first on Siliconera. |

As December 2021 came to a close, Idea Factory International announced Neptunia x Senran Kagura: Ninja Wars would appear on the Nintendo Switch. At the time, only a March 2022 release date was offered for Japan. Now, it's confirmed it will appear worldwide. Folks can expect it in April. It will show up first in North America on April 19, 2022. Then, it will come to Europe on April 22, 2022. People will be able to get a digital or physical copy. As a reminder, the Switch version of the game will be a bit different. There will be two extra difficulty levels. People can head to the Options to choose Easy or Hard. The Easy mode will apparently increase the amount of damage player characters deal. However, Hard will increase the strength of enemy attacks. There will also be free Alternate Costume DLC. This offers eight costumes for Neptune, Noire, Blanc, Vert, Asuka, Homura, Yumi, and Miyabi. There's also a screenshot showing those off. While the Switch version of Neptunia x Senran Kagura got a Western release date, there isn't one for PCs yet. The action-RPG will head to Steam and also include the new difficulty option and costume DLC. However, there's no release window for it yet. Neptunia x Senran Kagura: Ninja Wars will come to the Nintendo Switch on March 17, 2022 in Japan, April 19, 2022 in North America, and on April 22, 2022 in Europe.

It seems Konami will continue selling NFTs. The company released its Consolidated Financial Results for the Nine Months Ended December 31, 2021. In it, it brought up its outlook for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2022. When it did, it made sure to bring up NFTs when discussing its plans for digital entertainment going forward. [Thanks, Nibel!] The exact statement on NFTs was brief, and Konami only brought it up in that one portion of the report. It noted, "We will also be selling Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) in an effort to preserve content that has been loved by our customers as commemorative art." So far, Konami has only sold Castlevania NFTs. Its auction took place back in January 2022. It earned over $162,000 from it. The items included images and songs from the series. In some cases, there would be animated clips of certain actions that appear in-game. The official website is live and links to possible auctions. As for other content, Konami mentioned its intent to make Yu-Gi-Oh a priority. It mentioned Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel, em>Yu-Gi-Oh! Cross Duel, and Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Links. It also said that it will be working on Dance aRound, ColorCoLotta: Frozen Island, GrandCross Gold, and QuizKnock Stadium for arcades.

On February 4, 2022, people will be able to pick up the major Boruto: Naruto Next Generation character. He's a part of the $14.99 Season Pass 4. However, people could also buy him alone for $3.99. There's a video accompanying the announcement. It shows off all of Kawaki's major moves. He's an attack-type character. His Secret Technique: Karma Linchpin (Ritual Destruction) draws on his heritage for an AOE attack. (Note it is a spoiler, if someone isn't following the show.) But then, so is Ninjutsu: Karma Linchpin (Strange Taste). That attack is able to keep another player's Ninjutsu from working. The video ends by reminding people of already available elements. For example, it brings up Super Uzumaki Rasengan is available as a bonus Secret Technique if you buy the Season Pass 4. It also showed off the Lite version game trial. It didn't note if there will be a Season Pass 5 that adds more Naruto to Boruto: Shinobi Striker DLC characters.

Despite its title, Laid-Back Camp (a.k.a. Yuru Camp) is quite an active brand. The original manga by author Afro has spawned two anime seasons, an upcoming film, a live-action series adaptation, and two different video games. Make that three different video games: A new Laid-Back Camp mobile game was announced via a tweet from the official account. https://twitter.com/yurucamp_game/status/1489162537220202499?s=20&t=8Ea4y0r5uaEpjcwkLXR8gw The tweet doesn't reveal the game's official title, but does trumpet the fact that it's the "first" mobile game for Laid-Back Camp. Technically, the Laid-Back Camp - Virtual titles are available on mobile platforms, but they're closer to "experiences" than fully-fledged games. The tweet also had a trailer of sorts featuring a chibi-style rendition of camper Rin Shima laying back beside a crackling fire. The official game website was similarly sparse on detail. It merely features the same trailer and links to Laid-Back Camp portal site, and the website for the upcoming animated film adaptation. The Laid-Back Camp mobile game itself appears to be developed by Enish, which developed mobile games based on the anime series The Quintessential Quintuplets, Rent-A-Girlfriend, and an original RPG title called De:Lithe. For the uninitiated, Laid-Back Camp follows the outdoor adventures of a group of young women. It begins when Rin Shima, a "solo-camping" hobbyist, encounters Nadeshiko Kagamihara. The two become friends and Rin introduces Nadeshiko to the joys of camping outdoors. They also interact with their school's outdoor club (the "Outclub") and teachers. The series features locations from around Japan, particularly Yamanashi prefecture, near Mount Fuji. The Virtual titles focus on two real-life locations seen in the show: Lake Motosu and the Fumoto Campgrounds. The new Laid-Back Camp mobile game is targeted for a 2022 release on iOS and Android. The Virtual titles are available on mobile, PS4, and Nintendo Switch. The Mages-developed adventure game Laid-Back Camp: Have a Nice Day! is available on PS4 and Switch in Japan. The anime series streams on Crunchyroll, and the manga is published in English by Yen Press. The post New Laid-Back Camp Mobile Game Announced for 2022 appeared first on Siliconera. |

The world of Dynasty Warriors is constantly growing. Each installment builds on the series' history, while also offering new takes on actual historical events. The next entry up is Dynasty Warriors 9 Empires, and Siliconera spoke with Series Producer Akihiro Suzuki about its development and changes. Jenni Lada: When preparing Dynasty Warriors 9 Empires, what did you most want to build on and change from the eighth installment? Akihiro Suzuki: It was the castle siege battle system which we have updated from previous Empires games. In Dynasty Warriors 9 Empires, children inheritance lets you determine their gender and weapon, but the affinities and stats don't change. How did you determine what would and wouldn't be able to be altered by the player? Suzuki: We decided that the individual characteristics for the children, such as affinity and abilities, could not be changed in part because it is a collection and replayability feature. Also, in the previous game not being able to change the appearance or gender was unpopular, so for this game they can be altered.
Ranks determine possible actions in Dynasty Warriors 9 Empires. What led to this decision and how do you feel it improves the game compared to past installments? Suzuki: In order to increase the player's immersion into the game, we took the approach of being able to feel their growth in-game by increasing what they can do based on their position, similar to the real world. In this game, executing the same political command as another allied officer will make it more effective, so players can feel the atmosphere of working together with other officers and contributing to their kingdom. Castle sieges were added due to the map sizes and desire for improved battle pacing. What kind of work went into implementing them into the game? Suzuki: We've revamped the traditional battles where players push forward the frontlines while connecting provisions between bases and capture the enemy's main camp, and aimed to create more realistic castle sieges. We faced a lot of challenges in constructing a game system since we needed to figure out how to With regards to sieges, are there any gameplay elements or changes you wanted to implement, but couldn't fit in to Dynasty Warriors 9 Empires? Suzuki: There were many gameplay elements that came up during the planning stage that were rejected, but there weren't any elements that we planned to incorporate that we weren't able to implement.
One of the add-ons allows people to lead a unit filled with animals as warriors, rather than people. What led to this DLC's creation? Suzuki: In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms novel, there are kingdoms that use beasts during battle, so we came up with the idea to incorporate these into the DLC for something fun and different. What kind of support will Dynasty Warriors 9 Empires get after launch, considering the support the original Dynasty Warriors 8 Empires received? Will people see updates to its open world to add things like requests? Suzuki: We don't have any definite plans at the moment. With Dynasty Warriors 9 Empires, new games automatically carry over things already earned like weapons. What led to this decision? How did you determine what carries over? Suzuki: Since the Empires series is one that is played several times through using different officers and being able to collect in-game events, we decided to incorporate the carry over feature to further enjoy the repeated playthroughs. In terms of content, it includes gems, gem artifacts and secret plans and other Dynasty Warriors 9 Empires will come to the Nintendo Switch, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and PC on February 15, 2022. It is available in Japan. A demo is available. The post Interview: Series Producer Discusses Dynasty Warriors 9 Empires Changes appeared first on Siliconera. |

PC Invasion - FeedDDD Thursday, February 3, 2022 3:45 PM  It looks like Nvidia's GeForce RTX 30 Series graphics cards will work just fine with next-generation PCIe 5.0 PSUs. This news comes from tech site HardwareLuxx, which spotted that the ASUS Thor II 1000W Platinum PSU is compatible with RTX 30 Series Founders Edition cards. Nvidia announced its 12-pin PCIe 5.0 power connector a couple of years ago alongside the announcement of the RTX 30 Series. The idea behind this shift to the new PCIe 5.0 12-pin connector standard is to allow PSUs to deliver more power to future graphics cards with higher maximum power consumption. This trend can already be observed in current generation high-end graphics cards, particularly Nvidia's. For example, the RTX 3080 requires 320W, while the TDP for the upcoming RTX 3090 Ti will be 450W. These examples, coupled with this connector update, indicates that we should expect this trend to continue. Nvidia's 12-pin design power connector is designed to supply a maximum of 600W directly ... |
