Kotaku Tuesday, May 31, 2022 1:25 PM  This year's not-E3-but-basically-E3 kicks off on Thursday with Sony's big summer State of Play showcase. PlayStation has already had a pretty banner year, thanks to a number of exclusives (Horizon Forbidden West, Gran Turismo 7, Ghostwire: Tokyo) and a forthcoming revamp of its subscription services.

PCGamesN Tuesday, May 31, 2022 1:47 PM  Summer is almost here, which means a new edition of the F1 racing game series is lining up on the grid. The F1 22 PC version arrives July 1, and this year's edition will include some spiffy new features, including a built-in VR mode on PC. A new trailer for F1 22 showcases the additions coming with this year's edition of the official Formula 1 racing game. F1 22 supports the Valve Index, HTC Vive, and Oculus Rift headsets, but you can also play in two-player split-screen multiplayer mode if you prefer a more shared racing experience. Codemasters and EA Sports have added some helpful new features that will benefit both new and veteran players, too. There's a new adaptive AI that's better able to tailor the challenge to an individual player's skill level, as well as a new accessible handling system that allows players to dial back on the complexity of F1 driving to find a point where they're comfortable. Of course, experienced F1 drivers will find plenty to dig into, too. RELATED LINKS: Best racing games, Best truck games, Simulation games |
PCGamesN Tuesday, May 31, 2022 1:30 PM  A report backed by consumer groups in 18 European countries labels loot boxes as "exploitative" and "predatory," citing Raid: Shadow Legends and FIFA 22 loot boxes as prominent examples of manipulative design aimed at convincing users to spend money. The report, authored by the Norwegian Consumer Council (NCC), concludes that the game industry has "largely evaded regulatory scrutiny" and proposes regulation to enforce better practices. The loot box report is certainly not the first of its kind, with a University study calling loot boxes "akin to gambling" in 2021. This latest document, supported by consumer groups including the European Consumer Organisation, breaks down elements of loot box design and marketing, speaking to the "almost non-existent" friction of making a digital in-game loot box purchase. It combines this with discussion of commonly employed psychological techniques such as FOMO (fear of missing out), the sunk cost fallacy (believing you should keep investing so as not to 'waste' past investment), and survivorship bias (when focus is placed on the few members of a group who have success from loot box gambling instead of considering the bigger picture). |
PCGamesN Tuesday, May 31, 2022 1:00 PM  Lego Minecraft combines two things that go together so very well. You don't have to believe us; we can show you. Someone already put an ungodly number of hours and bricks into making this Minecraft piston out of Lego. Plus, you can have all of your digital Lego dreams come true by using this Minecraft mod that turns mobs into Lego figures. See, told you, the two just work. Today we're bringing you another real-life bit of art, with some animation. GoodSirCompany on Reddit uploaded a cute clip of their first-ever Lego Minecraft stop motion animation. It has a player character clad in black armour running up to an unaware skeleton and smiting them. It's a nice little bit of work and, while it has a few rough edges, it's got a nice smoothness to the combat. It's also full of wonderful little details. One of the most impressive is the fire, which constantly flickers to really help cement the feeling of movement throughout the mini diorama. For the eagle-eyed, you'll also notice a cameo from something suspicious in the background too. Who doesn't love a good cameo?

PCGamesN Tuesday, May 31, 2022 12:48 PM  The Meta Quest 2 (formerly Oculus Quest 2) is undoubtedly one of the best VR headsets that you can buy today, despite facing fierce competition from the likes of the Valve Index. However, Apple may be looking to take a bite out of Meta's market share in the VR space with its own virtual reality device and operating system. Parker Ortolani took to Twitter to share some trademark filings for 'realityOS' which possibly indicate that Apple plans to reveal its Oculus Quest 2 competitor at its WWDC conference on June 6 (via UploadVR). Ortolani points out that the company "typically files trademarks for products announced at WWDC a day or two after the keynote", and we're inclined to agree with their assessment that "this would be one helluva coincidence." The term 'realityOS' has been appearing in Apple source code since the beginning of this year, but these filings further indicate that we'll see it used in a VR system as the trademark pertains to "wearable computer hardware."

PCGamesN Tuesday, May 31, 2022 11:58 AM  The first batch of Xbox Game Pass June games for PC are now confirmed for the first two weeks of next month, including one of the best Assassin's Creed games and a collection of some of the best ninja games ever made. The next two weeks kick off a Ubisoft-heavy start for PC Game Pass in June, with two major games from the publisher. The previously announced Assassin's Creed Origins is the obvious headliner, which Ubisoft teased earlier this week. For Honor: Marching Fire Edition also hits later this week, giving subscribers a taste of Ubisoft's other Viking game. Microsoft also says that it has made "improvements" to the Xbox app on PC to allow users to find and install Ubisoft Connect games more easily. The non-Ubisoft games are not to be sniffed at, either, as the Ninja Gaiden: Master Collection arrives on June 2 - which includes the entire trilogy. However, as usual, all this goodness comes at a cost – Greedfall, Limbo, and more will leave Game Pass on June 15. |
PCGamesN Tuesday, May 31, 2022 11:46 AM  The latest Division 2 update, TU 15.1, makes an important correction to the new expertise system that arrived with Season 9. The expertise system, which involves gaining proficiency ranks in pieces of gear players have equipped, was awarding too many points based on kill XP, Ubisoft has said. Now that XP award has been recalculated, and players who have been active during this season will likely see their expertise levels drop in the MMORPG. The Division 2's new expertise system works like this: you earn proficiency ranks in all the gear, weapons, and skills your character uses in combat, or by donating multiple copies of an item, until you reach rank 10, at which point an item can be upgraded. An agent's expertise level is determined by how many items they're proficient in, and that level in turn determines how many times they can upgrade a piece of gear. The problem was that expertise is meant to cap out at level 20, but players had found that they could increase their expertise beyond that. Ubisoft says this would cause significant long-term balancing issues for The Division 2, and has thus recalculated the 'value' of kill XP in proficiency rank progression.

PCGamesN Tuesday, May 31, 2022 12:22 PM  May 31, 2022: Crytek tells PCGamesN that it has "never worked" with this artist and the pictures are not from them. Concept art for a supposed "unannounced Crytek triple-A project" appeared online, supposedly showing the next game from the studio behind Crysis 4 and Hunt: Showdown - which looks a lot like a space game, and more than that, a mix of Starfield and Cyberpunk 2077. Other than the still-popular Hunt: Showdown, the only upcoming game announced by Crytek is Crysis 4, which was revealed earlier this year and was recently confirmed as being led by an ex-Hitman and Far Cry 3 developer. Unless the team is going in a far more sci-fi direction, some purported leaked artwork may be the first at another new Crytek game. As posted on Behance by environmental concept artist Anıl Gündüz (via Reddit), four pieces of their futuristic artwork are stated to be part of the "project vision" for an "unannounced Crytek triple-A project". The first shows a man in a spacesuit looking at a giant in a tube, the second a Cyberpunk 2077-style city, and the last two show very Starfield-like colonies in outer space.

PCGamesN Tuesday, May 31, 2022 11:06 AM  One particularly industrious Starfield fan has put together a Starfield compendium featuring everything they could get their hands on relating to the space game. Bethesda's next game, which legally becomes 'Starfield' in June, is under constant scrutiny by fans looking for new information - to the point they've been staring at doors in search of clues. The massive 120 page compilation on the space RPG game put together by Gokamo features trailers, screenshots, concept art, interviews, Reddit Q&As, leaks, and more. The document is reasonably conservative in approach, making it clear what information has been garnered from where, and when they are merely speculating versus providing confirmed details. Individual graphics are broken down in great detail and compared with details from interviews and aspects of Bethesda Games' previous work in series such as The Elder Scrolls and Fallout. In particular, Gokamo analyses interviews from Todd Howard and other Bethesda staff to pick out particular chunks that sound important. One such quote given at Develop Brighton 2020, for example, talks about the team "pushing procedural generation further than we have in a very long time."

PCGamesN Tuesday, May 31, 2022 9:47 AM  Out of all the great Elden Ring mods coming to FromSoftware's RPG game, the Elden Ring enemy randomizer mod is probably the most terrifying. Back in April it was confirmed to be in the works, and now it's finally here - and it's reported to work in co-op, too. There are many fantastic game randomizer mods on PC but the ones for Dark Souls-like games are the most intense. Modder Matt 'thefifthmatt' Gruen previously released an Elden Ring item randomiser mod but promised that a combined mod that randomised both items and enemies was in the works. Well, it's out now and can be downloaded at Nexus Mods. If you downloaded the item randomiser, this is an update for that same mod. The mod randomises "items found in the world, shop items, enemy and boss drops, and character starting loadouts," although all of it can be customised via a simple options box - so if you want the mod to replace every single enemy in the game with the toughest Elden Ring boss, you can do so (see below).

PCGamesN Tuesday, May 31, 2022 9:44 AM  What are the best building games on PC? Building games are a great way to indulge some architectural creativity, but there are so many great building games on PC to choose from. Thankfully, we have the brick and mortar necessary to put together a list of the best building games on PC with the strongest of foundations. From compulsive free-to-plays to fully-fledged triple-A titles, building games allow us to stake our claim on another world and bend it to our will. Whether you need a base to defend against oncoming dinosaurs in Ark: Survival Evolved or are scrabbling together rusted scrap in the post-apocalypse of Fallout 4, there are nearly as many reasons to build as there are building games. Building games on PC come in all shapes and sizes. Construction in Fortnite Battle Royale is essential for victory, if you know how best to do it. On the other hand, building and Minecraft are inseparable, whether you're scrabbling together a base to defend, or crafting a creative structure. Whatever kind of building game you're after, we've got the right set of blueprints for you here. RELATED LINKS: Fortnite V-Bucks, Fortnite Skins, Fortnite Creative Codes |
PCGamesN Tuesday, May 31, 2022 11:05 AM  Want to know more about the Heizou banner release date in Genshin Impact? Shikanoin Heizou is one of the new Genshin Impact characters coming in a future update. It could possibly be the next 2.8 update as the Inazuman detective has now been officially announced via the Genshin Impact Twitter account. Other than that he's going to be a new Anemo character, we don't know much else about him in terms of official information, and definitely nothing about when the Genshin Impact Heizou banner release date will be. However, there are several in-game references to Heizou that can tell us more about his character - a few others have something to say about Heizou, and it's not all positive. According to Genshin leaker Lumie, Heizou may become the RPG game's first male Catalyst user, but that's about it. Dataminer Dimbreath has previously reported finding some in-game avatar data for him, too. Read up on everything else we know about Genshin Impact's Shikanoin Heizou.

PCGamesN Tuesday, May 31, 2022 7:17 AM  PUBG Battlegrounds players can try out the latest update for the battle royale game today by jumping into the PC test server, ahead of the arrival of the PUBG 18.1 ranked season release date. The new patch, which is due to release on June 8, also changes up the map rotation slightly and increases item spawn rates to increase healing potential in the multiplayer game. The patch brings the start of PUBG Battlegrounds ranked season 18 when it launches on live servers next week, and also switches up the map rotation and frequency. Those playing normal matches will notice that Vikendi is gone again, with the snowy map leaving to make way for the return of Paramo's active volcano environment alongside regulars Erangel, Miramar, Taego, and Sanhok. Paramo has seen some slight tweaks to add additional rocks and cover, along with a unique-looking spiral well. The ranked map rotation has been tweaked slightly to increase the odds of players parachuting onto Taego, with a split of 40% of games on Erangel, 30% on Miramar, and 30% on Taego. Rewards from ranked season 17 will also be available to claim once ranked season 18 is underway and must be claimed by the end of the season. RELATED LINKS: PUBG new map, PUBG weapons, Play PUBG |
PCGamesN Tuesday, May 31, 2022 6:48 AM  Looking for a Genshin Impact tier list? There are currently 49 Genshin Impact characters available, so there's no shortage of candidates for your dream team. But with so many different weapon, elementals, talents, ascension bonuses, and constellations upgrades, finding your favourites can be challenging. Don't let the placement of the characters on our Genshin Impact tier list deter you from pulling on the next character banner. While base stats and elemental abilities are important, the value of a character also depends on personal playstyle, available weapons and artifacts, and team composition. That being said, if your favourite character is in C tier or below, you may struggle to get past some of the more challenging Spiral Abyss floors. Don't worry too much if your favourite character is on one of the lower tiers; you can still make it work with our recommended Genshin Impact builds. In general, being on a high tier means that the character is the best Genshin Impact character in their role, is not too difficult to build, and performs well regardless of teammates. Being on a lower tier means that there are better alternatives, or the character needs a very specific build or team to shine. Just to note, the characters are not ranked within their own tier, and with that out of the way, let's take a look at our ranking of characters in our Genshin Impact tier list!

PCGamesN Tuesday, May 31, 2022 6:30 AM  Looking for the best Destiny 2 Solar 3.0 build for your subclass? The space game's new Solar rework introduces a number of new ways to customise your character if you're using the Dawnblade, Sunbreaker, or Gunslinger subclass. However, with so many possible grenade, melee, super, and special ability combos, which you can further enhance with fragments, it can be tough to figure out what the best build for your Guardian is. In addition, Destiny 2 Exotics and other perks can enhance the build, so there are heaps of possibilities. The Solar 3.0 rework uses the same system of Aspects and Fragments as the Void 3.0 rework that launched with The Witch Queen. In case you're returning from a very long Destiny hiatus, Aspects affect a class-specific ability and also come with a number of slots that can hold Fragments. The effects from Fragments aren't quite as strong, but they're universal across their subclass. The best build boasts Aspects and Fragments that synchronise for massive buffs. Join us as we list our picks for the best Destiny 2 Solar build following the arrival of Season of the Haunted. RELATED LINKS: Destiny 2: Beyond Light review, Destiny 2 exotics, Play Destiny 2 |
PCGamesN Tuesday, May 31, 2022 6:46 AM  The best anime games for PC are as wildly varied as the Japanese film, television, and manga from which they are inspired. Whether you fancy being trapped in a school with a sadistic remote-controlled bear, defending yourself from gargantuan humanoid monsters, or joining a book club with a dark side, there are plenty of anime games for PC to choose from in 2022. We've got everything from the biggest games based on Japan's hottest export shows, through the finest JRPGs, to anime MMOs influenced by the signature anime style. Dragon Ball, Attack on Titan, and Naruto are all present and correct, plus a few other gems you may not have heard of before. This list is especially good if you're looking for your fix of this distinctive form of Japanese animation, but find your wallet can't stretch to full price triple-A releases. If you're after free anime games, look no further than the charming, vibrant open-world of Genshin Impact or beloved and increasingly popular anime MMO FFXIV, which just received a new expansion called Endwalker.

PCGamesN Tuesday, May 31, 2022 6:30 AM  There's a new survival game coming that's basically Ark: Survival Evolved except you play as the dinosaurs. Path of Titans is a fun-looking indie game where you take on the role of one of several dinosaurs and try to survive in a pre-human world - and there's a beta coming this summer. There are a lot of great dinosaur games on PC, from Ark to Jurassic World Evolution 2, but very few where you actually get to play as a dinosaur. Path of Titans, from Australian indie developer Alderon Games, is a cross-platform survival MMO game where players roleplay as one of over 30 potential dinosaurs in a big sandbox game environment. A very early access version of Path of Titans has been available on the developer's website for a little while, and the team is now planning a beta for launch this summer across "PC, mobile, consoles, Mac and Linux", with the "first of several" 8 x 8 km maps available and more to come later. |
PCGamesN Tuesday, May 31, 2022 6:25 AM  Want to know more about the upcoming Genshin Impact events? A new version of Genshin Impact arrives every six weeks, complete with new characters, quests, and events. It's difficult to keep track of which events are currently running and if there are any new ones coming soon, so here's a schedule for all current and upcoming Genshin Impact events. There are usually a number of Genshin Impact events running simultaneously, and they aren't just in-game events. When a new Genshin Impact character joins the game, the devs launch a web event at the same time - players learn about the latest characters through an interactive story told through a web browser. The rewards for completing different events range from in-game items like primogems and mora, to real life prizes like mouse mats and plushies. Just like the Genshin Impact banners, most events are only available for a limited time, so it's worth participating as soon as you can. New events are usually added to Genshin Impact after an update, but it's worth keeping an eye out on this page as the devs do like to surprise the community.

PCGamesN Tuesday, May 31, 2022 9:42 AM  Genshin Impact banners adhere to a pretty regular schedule. Each update arrives with a new banner that lasts around three weeks, and after it expires, it's followed by a second banner which also lasts roughly three weeks, at which point it's update time once again. Wondering what the next Genshin Impact banner is? Even though we hear rumours of new Genshin Impact characters arriving in forthcoming updates, we won't know their exact release date until we know which banner they will be a part of, and whether it'll be the first or second banner in the update. Occasionally, banners don't stick to this schedule - most notably, update 1.3 had three two-week banners, so that Hu Tao's banner didn't cross over with the Chinese New Year. Typically, each limited character banner - or Event Wish - contains a five-star character, and three four-star characters. There's also a Weapon banner - Epitome Invocation - which runs alongside each character banner, and features different weapons each time. Here's everything you need to know about the current and upcoming Genshin Impact banners.

Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Tuesday, May 31, 2022 11:58 AM  Here we have another AOC gaming monitor, except it's not just by AOC, but by posh car makers Porsche? It's the Porsche Design AOC Agon Pro PD32M, a premium 4K / 144Hz beast of a display, and is in fact the second hardware collaboration between these unlikely bedfellows. It's also far more ambitious (and expensive) than 2020's AOC Agon PD27. It's flat rather than curved, but goes for both a higher resolution and a larger 31.5in IPS panel. Its DisplayHDR certification also rises from 400 to 1400, fuelled largely by a switch to more advanced Mini LED backlighting: the same sort as the Asus ROG Swift PG32UQX, one of the best 4K gaming monitors. As a gaming screen, then, it's got all the right tools, but what exactly about it is Porsche-like? |

For those waiting for a Pui Pui Molcar season 2 confirmation or announcement of more episodes, there's news about additional adventures. The official Japanese Twitter account confirmed more of the show is in the works. There's a video clip announcing it, as well as an image teasing a new character. It will show up in Japan in Fall 2022. Rather than a Pui Pui Molcar season 2 proper being announced, the new episodes are being billed as a "new series." The teaser begins with clips from the first run of episodes. Then, it shows a picture with five returning main characters Shiromo, Choco, Potato, Teddy, and Abbey. At the top of it is a silhouette of an unknown Molcar. After the 30 second mark, some behind-the-scenes footage appears. It shows the needle-felted Molcars being made. There are also photos showing the stop-motion show being filled.
Currently, people can catch the show on Netflix. All episodes of it are streaming. In Japan, those short segments appeared as part of a Tobidase! Narase! Pui Pui Molcar movie as well. There are also games, with one being Pui Pui Molcar Let's Molcar Party for the Nintendo Switch. The post More Pui Pui Molcar Coming in Fall 2022 appeared first on Siliconera. |

The latest Fire Emblem Heroes Legendary unit is Myrrh: Guardian Dragon. She is available via a new Legendary banner that is available today. This marks the fourth version of the Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones character to appear in the game. Myrrh: Guardian Dragon is a flying, blue dragon unit. She has the unique Godly Breath weapon that can accelerate her Special trigger, inflict -5 Atk/Def/Res/Spd on an enemy if she's near an ally, ensures she makes a follow up attack, reduces her damage from attacks and area of effect specials, and reduces damage she takes from ranged units. She also has the new Def/Res Unity and Darkling Guardian Passive skills. As usual, Legendary Myrrh isn't the only focus unit on this Fire Emblem Heroes banner. Here are the other characters appearing at a higher rate on it.
And here is the trailer introducing Fire Emblem Heroes' Legendary Myrrh. Fire Emblem Heroes is available for Android and Apple iOS devices. The Myrrh: Guardian Dragon and her banner will be available until June 13, 2022. One of the other May 2022 banners involved fallen versions of characters like Ninian.
