Kotaku Wednesday, May 11, 2022 8:30 PM ![]() Like I've said before, there are too many Warhammer games, and one of the big downfalls of that carefree licensing is that when there are so many games coming out with the same branding they just become background noise. Which is a shame when one comes along that deserves to stand out. |

PCGamesN Wednesday, May 11, 2022 7:39 PM ![]() Point Lookout - Fallout 4 is a faithful fan recreation of Fallout 3's Point Lookout DLC... but in its sequel. The Fallout 4 mod includes every quest, location, NPC, enemy, and nearly every item and weapon from its predecessor's DLC. It's an impressive feat. Point Lookout was the penultimate DLC for Fallout 3, which was released back in 2009. Located in Point Lookout State Park in Maryland, the expansion broke away from the usual grey palette of the vast Capital Wasteland in favour of a small town in a swamp, with a seaside (swampside?) pier and a strange old mansion. The mod is the work of The Capital Wasteland Project, which aims to recreate all of Fallout 3 in Fallout 4, along with the added benefits to graphics, physics, and performance. As you'd expect the DLC looks significantly better on Fallout 4's engine, with higher resolution textures, god rays, and better visuals thanks to the use of assets from the newer game.

PCGamesN Wednesday, May 11, 2022 7:02 PM ![]() In EA's latest earnings call, the publisher says it's going to "take a long view" on Battlefield 2042 updates and the franchise as a whole. The FPS game has been plagued with issues since its release, but fans can seemingly rest assured that EA isn't about to abandon it. When questioned by investors on whether the publisher has changed its view on "invest[ing] more" in Battlefield 2042 for the long term given "the lack of resurgence from the last update," EA CEO Andrew Wilson said: "No… We take a long view here. This is one of the great franchises in our industry, built by one of the great teams in our industry. And our expectation is that we'll continue to grow and be a really important part of our portfolio for many, many years to come." Wilson cited the change in leadership within the Battlefield team, referring to former Respawn head and Infinity Ward co-founder Vince Zampella's appointment late last year. Wilson says the team is "rethinking the development process from the ground up," with a focus on "getting the core game right."

PCGamesN Wednesday, May 11, 2022 6:04 PM ![]() May 11, 2022 BioWare project director Michael Gamble has clarified that the text in question was "a mistake" made by a team unfamiliar with current Mass Effect development. With a new Mass Effect game in the works, there's been plenty of fan speculation as to the potential cast. Will it pick up where Mass Effect 3 left off, or will it be a fresh start, like Mass Effect: Andromeda was meant to do? A piece of promotional art appeared to have tipped BioWare's hand, seemingly revealing that Commander Shepard may be an important character in the new space game - however, it turns out it was all based on a simple mistake and some miscommunication. On its official site, BioWare sells an attractive lithograph version of the teaser art it revealed last year on N7 Day, which shows a party of explorers venturing into the caldera of a volcano. The scene is depicted from a bird's eye view, so it's impossible to tell who any of the characters are. However, a YouTuber called MrHulthen spotted an interesting detail in the product description on the BioWare store page. Originally, the text included a passage that read, "Shepard's final quest may have ended the threat of the Reapers but at great cost including Earth itself. While Shepard and the survivors are left to pick up the pieces, fans are wondering what's next." |
PCGamesN Wednesday, May 11, 2022 4:48 PM ![]() Following several months of preview posts, the big 1.44 update for American Truck Simulator has finally arrived. The update includes a major rework for the state of California, a new system that lets you refund in-game currency used in mods for the trucking game, some enhancements to the UI in the garage, and more. The big addition in this free update, of course, is phase two of the California rework, which removes the city of San Rafael (sadly enough) but rebuilds Eureka, Ukiah, Sacramento, Redding, and Truckee "from the ground up" to include more local landmarks and architecture. For modders, there's a handy new feature included in this patch. American Truck Simulator mods frequently add new pieces of equipment to buy in-game, but what happens when you uninstall the mod, or it becomes incompatible with a game update? Until now, you've lost the in-game currency you spent on it, but with update 1.44, American Truck Simulator will recognise when you've lost a piece of equipment this way and give you the option to accept a refund for the amount lost. Nice! |
PCGamesN Wednesday, May 11, 2022 4:56 PM ![]() We're one month into a new financial year and it's earnings call week, with major businesses the world over looking back on the whole of FY22. It's Ubisoft's turn today, and in a statement released ahead of its call, the publisher says the past twelve months have been "Far Cry's best year ever for the brand." Far Cry 6, the latest game in the series, was released in October 2021 and featured Breaking Bad star Giancarlo Esposito as the main antagonist. The FPS game has since received several content updates, with the latest being a Stranger Things crossover. But it's not just Far Cry. Ubisoft's largest three brands - Assassin's Creed, Far Cry, and Rainbow Six - made over €300m (roughly $315m USD, or £257m GBP) in net earnings. Assassin's Creed doubled in earnings compared to 2020, the most recent year in which the series had no major release. Rainbow Six also saw growth on the back of Rainbow Six Extraction, as well as a very positive response for Rainbow Six Siege's year 7 roadmap.

PCGamesN Wednesday, May 11, 2022 2:33 PM ![]() Minecraft has a great selection of incredible mobs, and even if you install a mod to make them look like Lego figures, they're the star of the show for many people. One of the most adorable mobs has to be the frogs, but they came with something of a monkey's paw drawback, because while the intention was to introduce them alongside Minecraft fireflies, it didn't work out like that. That's because fireflies were initially a food source for the croaky amphibians, but as they're poisonous to frogs in real life, Mojang changed its mind. As such, we're no longer getting them in the upcoming The Wild update, which this video explains more about around the 1:38 mark. Fireflies are one of the inclusions that the community was most looking forward to, and the response to them not being included has been less than favourable. People are pretty understanding about them not being proper mobs, but there have been a few suggestions to include them more for ambience than anything. The sight of a bunch of fireflies buzzing around some of the new mangrove trees is sure to be fairly stunning, and the loss of the critter is a real shame.

PCGamesN Wednesday, May 11, 2022 5:37 PM ![]() Core Keeper's first major content update, The Sunken Sea, will arrive in June. Set in a brand-new water-based biome, you and the gang will travel in boats, encounter multiple new enemy types, mine new valuables, experiment with new base-building elements, and discover new fish, plants, and food. Developer Pugstorm has also revealed that the indie game now features support for dedicated servers, allowing players to host multiplayer worlds for anyone to access at any time. The devs have also updated player-hosted multiplayer to support Steam's networking backend, which should solve many of the networking issues players previously encountered. You can find out how to set up your own dedicated server here. "Dedicated servers have been requested since the start of the game's launch into Steam Early Access, and we'd like to say a huge thank you to the members of our incredible community who have helped test this feature ahead of its official launch today," Pugstorm CEO Sven Thole says in a press release.

Siliconera Wednesday, May 11, 2022 3:00 PM The market for role-playing life sims is huge. Whether your first experience with the genre was Story of Seasons or Stardew Valley, you might be one of the millions of people addicted to these sorts adventures. I've fallen down this particular rabbit hole a few times. One I tripped into was My Time at Portia, and the sequel My Time at Sandrock looks to be another fun adventure for people who enjoy losing track of time. What's even better is that you don't need to have played My Time at Portia. Turns out that both games practically share a timeline. Right off the train, My Time at Sandrock oozes familiarity. From the aesthetics to the assembly platform, your Builder moves and interacts with the world in almost the same way as in Portia. Which is fantastic for continuity. But while much of the game plays and looks the same, there are some very important differences. Most notably is Sandrock's location within the world. This desert town relies on regular train deliveries from other cities in order to survive. There's a single water resource to supply the entire town. Should anything happen to it, the consequences would be dire. By extension, living trees and cacti are considered off limits. Your Builder will need to scour the sands and nearby ruins for salvageable debris or purchase materials from the local shops. The residents of Sandrock also try to reuse as much as possible. For instance, when the performance stage is damaged during a sandstorm, the town builders are asked to repurpose as much of the platform structure as possible. Even the smallest scraps of wood, stone, and rubber shouldn't go to waste. You can even harvest morning dew as a means of keeping your water resources stocked. Something I appreciate in this second game is that you aren't the only new Builder in town. Sandrock decided to replace the retiring builder Mason with two fresh, young faces. When emergency situations arise, the story quest workload tends to be split between them. This move quickens the sequel's pace, something I know people considered a touch slow in My Time at Portia. Most story commissions aren't on a strict schedule, though. You can spend all the time you want or need on notices from the commission board or stockpiling resources. When you aren't searching for supplies, fighting monsters, or building up your workshop, there's time to get to know your neighbours and pursue romantic entanglements. While not every person in town can be wooed, you'll want to boost friendship levels. Gift-giving and successfully completing commissions are the best ways to earn points. Right now, I'm building up relationship points with Heidi, the town architect, and the owner of the town's inn, Owen. They are my top two marriage contenders at the moment. Who knows. Maybe someone else will mosey into Sandrock the further I get into the story. If you do decide to hop into My Time at Sandrock, I recommend holding out for the official release. My preview is based on the alpha state of the game, which hasn't been the smoothest ride. There are glitched quests in which the 3D models freeze or don't load correctly. Task manager was the only way I could shutdown and restart the game. Some text hasn't been translated or edited (I'm looking at you "cancle!"), and controller support hasn't been fully integrated. It's a little rough around the edges right now, and you can spare yourselves these larger headaches by waiting a touch longer. My Time at Sandrock is currently in Early Access on Steam and scheduled for release on May 26, 2022. The post Preview: My Time at Sandrock Explores New Horizons appeared first on Siliconera. |
Siliconera Wednesday, May 11, 2022 2:00 PM More Final Fantasy music boxes are on the way. This time, it is a trio sold together in honor of a milestone. As part of the MMO's 20th anniversary events, FFXI music boxes are on the way. They will come in a pack of three. $53.99 gets you ones with the "Gustaberg," "Ronfaure," and "Sarutabaruta" theme songs. These are expected to ship in February 2023. Each FFXI music box is recognizable at a glance. Every one of them features the region's flag on it. Once wound up, it will play a version of the area's theme song on the 18-note music box. There's also a way to see how these new Final Fantasy music boxes will work ahead of launch. The Japanese Twitter account shared a brief video. It starts with the "Ronfaure" box. After that, it goes to "Gustaberg." The video closes with a peek at the music box rendition of "Sarutabaruta."
These sorts of music boxes are actually quite common. Multiple entries in the series got their own. In addition music boxes with tracks from older games, ones for FFVII showed up. Final Fantasy XI is available for PCs. The FFXI music boxes will join this Final Fantasy merchandise line in February 2023.
