Kotaku Tuesday, June 21, 2022 11:45 AM  Call of Duty is plagued with cheaters, but Activision's Team Ricochet is always developing new tools to stop bad actors from exploiting Vanguard and Warzone to cheat. Now, Ricochet has implemented another anti-cheat measure as part of its "mitigation toolbox" that steals cheaters' guns right from their hands and even … |
Kotaku Tuesday, June 21, 2022 11:15 AM  Xbox Game Pass has had a rocky few months, seeing it lose major games and failing to add marquee additions to plug the gaps. But on the heels of Xbox's big marketing blitz—including a promise that 50 games will hit Xbox over the next year, many on Game Pass—the popular games-on-demand service is picking up steam. |
Kotaku Tuesday, June 21, 2022 10:48 AM  Over a year later, mod support for Cyberpunk 2077 continues on apace, and one of the coolest yet turns every car in the game into a Back To The Future II-style Dalorean. It doesn't transform Night City into a bustling Bladerunner-opolis, but the mod will let you see the game from a whole new elevation. |
PCGamesN Tuesday, June 21, 2022 11:51 AM  Curious about what exactly an Ark Fjordhawk can do for you? As the name suggests, the Fjordhawk is a tameable creature native to Fjordur, the region featured in the free expansion of the same name. There are plenty of Ark dinos to tame across Fjordur, including the Andrewsarchus with a mounted turret upon its back, but few will grant you the level of utility that a Fjordhawk can provide. Once tamed, an Ark Fjordhawk becomes a shoulder pet that will retrieve your inventory for you when you die. Never again will you have to worry about running back to your corpse to collect your dropped items, making the Fjordhawk invaluable for a survival game where hours of gameplay can hinge on stuffing your satchel with as many materials as you can find. It will also mark lost satchels and wounded or dead creatures in the environment, which is helpful for both item collection and taming.

PCGamesN Tuesday, June 21, 2022 11:39 AM  Resident Evil 7 has received a new mod, transforming the visuals of Capcom's brutal survival horror by upscaling more than 1,000 textures to 4K quality, and allowing for both VR play and the ray tracing or non-ray tracing versions of the game. |
PCGamesN Tuesday, June 21, 2022 11:38 AM  Neon White system requirements won't stop you from speedrunning the afterlife, and they're unlikely to send your gaming PC to the grave. The FPS game features vibrant visuals and fast-paced demon-slaying shenanigans, but you won't need the best graphics card to enter the gates of heaven. According to Angel Matrix's Neon White system requirements, you don't even need a GTX card to run the game, as it'll work on an Nvidia GeForce GTS 450 – a card that dates back to 2010. If you'd rather boost fps and play with higher settings enabled, the developer recommends using either a GTX 750 Ti or an AMD Radeon HD 7850, both of which pack 2GB VRAM. In terms of memory, you'll only need 6GB to meet Neon White's gaming RAM requirements. You'll also only need to free up 6GB on your SSD or hard drive, which might be a blessing if you've got chonky shooters like Call of Duty: Warzone clogging up your storage.

PCGamesN Tuesday, June 21, 2022 11:34 AM  Want to know about the new Fortnite map for Chapter 3 Season 3? With Doctor Slone and her Imagined Order seemingly banished from the island, it's time to celebrate in style. A new festival area, complete with a theme park built on the remains of IO's headquarters is now available for you to explore. Meanwhile, there have been plenty of Fortnite map changes to keep track of for Chapter 3 Season 3, not to mention new Star Wars-themed Fortnite skins and the ability to ride Fornite animals for the first time. The Fortnite developers at Epic Games aren't afraid to change the map between seasons, so we've put together a guide to all of the major changes you need to take into account if you're looking to come out on top in the popular battle royale game. So, pull up a chair and grab your best map-reading glasses; here's your handy guide to the new Fortnite map for the latest season. Just what are those new red and blue lines about, anyway?

PCGamesN Tuesday, June 21, 2022 11:29 AM  Want to know where the Fortnite Darth Vader boss location is? The latest update for the long-running battle royale game brings a new area to the Fortnite map, rebalanced weapons and vehicles, along with new quests. However, it's the Sith Lord's appearance on the island that most people will be talking about; at least, he's supposed to be Vader, though he could be an NPC wearing a convincing Darth Vader Fortnite skin. Either way, if you fancy trying to eliminate this Fortnite Darth Vader wannabe, we recommend you team up with at least one other person. One person should focus on taking down the Stormtroopers, while everyone else in your squad should shoot at Darth Vader. You'll need to face him at some point anyway because you need to wield a Star Wars weapon to complete one of the Vibin' challenges - and the Darth Vader lightsaber is certainly the best option. To give you a fighting chance, we'll go over where to find the Darth Vader location and how to beat him below. RELATED LINKS: Fortnite V-Bucks, Fortnite Skins, Fortnite Creative Codes |

PCGamesN Tuesday, June 21, 2022 11:16 AM  It's been quite the wait for Total War: Warhammer 3's hotly anticipated Immortal Empires mode, which is set to stitch together the landmasses of all three Total Warhammer strategy games into one giant sandbox. Now Creative Assembly has drawn back the veil on the complete map, and it's large enough to require the addition of new sea lanes that allow armies to sail back and forth between its eastern- and westernmost edges. Stretching from the Ironfrost Glacier in the northwest corner down to the Jade Sea in the southeast, the Immortal Empires sandbox map includes a whopping 554 settlements and 278 starting factions. Creative Assembly says it's the biggest map that any Total War game has ever had, weighing in at nearly twice the size of the Mortal Empires map that combined the areas of Total War: Warhammer and Total War: Warhammer II.

PCGamesN Tuesday, June 21, 2022 11:32 AM  Want to know how to complete the Fortnite Nindo challenges? In addition to Darth Vader's appearance on the island as part of the battle royale game's latest update, a new website has gone live with a list of challenges to complete. You can get some cool Naruto-themed rewards by catching fish, surviving storm circles, and eliminating opponents. To start the Fortnite Nindo challenges, go to the official Fortnite Nindo website and sign in with your Epic account. It should automatically enrol you into the challenge page, and you can track your progress by clicking the Check My Stats button. However, while all the information is on the website, its presentation is a bit confusing. Important information, such as which game modes are eligible for getting each badge, isn't as easy to find as you might think.

PCGamesN Tuesday, June 21, 2022 11:02 AM  Minecraft is a wonderfully versatile sandbox game, but perhaps one of its most interesting uses is for education - and now, the Minecraft: Education Edition mobile version is set to help many more teachers around the world, as it's now "available to everyone" in open beta. If you're not aware, this version of Minecraft is designed to help teach an array of different topics, including STEM subjects and mathematics. The Minecraft: Education Edition PC version has been available for a fair while now, but never before on iOS and Android outside of a select few lucky people. Well, those on mobile will be happy to know that the beta for Minecraft: Education Edition is now available on the device they're likely using to read this article.

PCGamesN Tuesday, June 21, 2022 10:46 AM  Want to learn more about the Street Fighter 6 release date? We've known it exists for some time now,, but we finally had a chance to look at some Street Fighter 6 gameplay at Sony's State of Play event. Street Fighter 5 was heavily criticised at launch for its lack of playable content outside of Versus mode and while this satisfied most high level players, casual players found there was very little to keep them entertained. Capcom has taken its time developing Street Fighter 6 to ensure they don't repeat the same mistakes again. It features a brand new single player story mode which gives players a chance to explore Metro City as a custom fighter. The Street Fighter 6 release date isn't set to launch until next year at the earliest, but it's clear the fighting game is in a good place at this point in development.

PCGamesN Tuesday, June 21, 2022 11:24 AM  So you want to know about Total War: Warhammer 3 Immortal Empires? Creative Assembly confirmed that it's working on a new, big map combining all three strategy games via the official Warhammer III FAQ. The studio states that, "We will release a massive combined map that will be a huge free DLC for owners of all three games." We also now have more details on when Warhammer 3 Immortal Empires is coming. Creative Assembly published another developer blog post in June 2022, this time dedicated exclusively to the new mode, going into more detail as to what "phase one" would entail as well as offering a narrowed release schedule.

PCGamesN Tuesday, June 21, 2022 9:54 AM  The next load of PC Game Pass games for the second half of June are now confirmed by Xbox, including the previously-announced Total War: Three Kingdoms alongside one of the best football games on PC and one of the best entries in a popular FPS game series. The PC and Xbox Game Pass games for June kicked off with such fantastic games as Assassin's Creed Origins, the Ninja Gaiden: Master Collection, and the For Honor: Marching Fire Edition. Now the final batch have been confirmed, and they include the most recent non-Warhammer Total War game, the latest in the FIFA series, the underrated (mostly by me) Far Cry 5, and Naraka: Bladepoint - although we'll be losing one of the best dinosaur games on PC.

PCGamesN Tuesday, June 21, 2022 9:54 AM  Elden Ring mods are either a gift or a curse. In some cases, they transform From Software's open-world masterpiece into a rugged, rewarding game of survival. In others, they turn every enemy and NPC into Malenia, at which point, you can pretty much give up even trying to make it past the Gatefront Ruins.

While spec increases are largely part and parcel when it comes to new pixel pushers, this increase would be around 1.0GHz higher than team green's best graphics cards.

PCGamesN Tuesday, June 21, 2022 8:00 AM  The new Fortnite update for Chapter 3 Season 3 is live and it features a number of cool changes, including the second season of Naruto skins, a Fireworks Gun, Darth Vader - and the next step in the story, as classic Fortnite map locations have started 'infecting' the map, thanks to the spread of the Reality Tree. As initially spotted on Twitter by user Nanxss, areas of the current map are warping into variations from Fortnite Chapter 1 and 2. Logjam Lumberyard in the northwest seems the most affected right now, as players report that it actually changes themes every game - with styles ranging from Roman, Atlantean, Western, and Pirate just warping in, such as the pirate ship from Lazy Lagoon in Chapter 1 Season 8. Tilted Towers also appears to be undergoing a renovation. This appears to be caused by the giant Reality Tree to the west of the map, as its roots and saplings continue to spread and are apparently warping reality. Expect it to start infecting other areas of the map very soon. RELATED LINKS: Fortnite V-Bucks, Fortnite Skins, Fortnite Creative Codes |

PCGamesN Tuesday, June 21, 2022 6:21 AM  It's a special day for fans of one of the best battle royale games on PC, as the long-awaited Fall Guys free-to-play version launches at last - but only on the Epic Games Store. Now, developer Mediatonic wants to reassure fans that Fall Guys Steam support will continue - but the Steam version itself is now gone from the storefront. In May, Mediatonic confirmed the long-suspected news that its colourful multiplayer game would become a proper free-to-play game on June 21, which is now imminent. However, a few questions remained regarding Fall Guys on Steam, which have lingered since Mediatonic was purchased by Epic in March 2021. In a new post on the Fall Guys Steam page, Mediatonic confirms that the Steam version will "continue to receive full support and all the tasty updates that land on other platforms, including crossplay and cross-progression support" - the latter of which Epic just added support for. However, the Steam version will not go free-to-play and has now been pulled from sale altogether. RELATED LINKS: Fall Guys review, The best battle royale games, Play Fall Guys |

Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Tuesday, June 21, 2022 11:56 AM  Since The Cycle: Frontier is having its second (???) launch tomorrow, June 22nd, I thought I'd knock together a performance and settings guide to mark the occasion. This would involve, as they always do, a bunch of benchmark tests: repeatable runs through a specific area or sequence that would give an accurate indication of how different settings and hardware affect performance. In most games these are either quick and easy or time-consuming and easy, but not The Cycle: Frontier. Oh no. See, without a dedicated benchmarking tool, running these kinds of tests requires a certain controllable environment, where variables are known and parameters can be reset in a click. This is not the case for The Cycle: Frontier, whose environment is usually trying to fucking kill you, particularly though the unavoidable presence of other players. I've never sat down to record some average FPS values only to spend half my time cowering behind a tree, fearful of being shot, robbed and – worst of all – forced to start work over again. |
Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Tuesday, June 21, 2022 11:31 AM  Yesterday I wrote about eco-strategy game Terra Nil's demo, which went gangbusters during last week's Steam Next Fest and shot up into the top 50 most played games on Valve's storefront. Well, turns out that might be at least partly down to a practice called badge-farming. That's according to industry pundit Simon Carless' latest GameDiscoverCo newsletter, anyway. |
Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Tuesday, June 21, 2022 10:30 AM  So, you went and flubbed a Reservoir Dogs type of deal, and now you're a dead'un. As if that wasn't bad enough, it turns out that Heaven is a corrupt bureaucracy that's absolutely stuffed with shadowy demons and talking cats. Those demons become your problem when god decides to give you a chance to earn your place in Heaven by committing murder - stylish, speedrunning, parkouring demon murder. It's perdition with extra steps, then, but is it any fun? Dear reader, Neon White kicks ass. The game opens with an extremely anime narrative sequence and we're introduced to the lovable (and less so) doofuses we'll be shooting up paradise with. This is where most folks will stop and squee at the fact that player character Neon White is voiced by the incomparable Steve Blum, perhaps known best for his role as sonorous space cowboy Spike Spiegel in Cowboy Bebop. White is joined by his fellow demon-slaying Neons including Yellow (best boy), Violet (sucks), Red (mysterious), and Green (bad guy). |

The decision to delay came a few days after Chinese microblogging site Sina Weibo banned the Diablo Immortal account due to unspecified "violation of related laws and regulations". |

Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Tuesday, June 21, 2022 5:35 AM  Last week Intel published a "quick start guide" for their upcoming Arc A-series graphics cards, including a "Supported Hardware Configurations" section that only specifically namechecked their own 10th, 11th and 12th Gen Core CPUs. Cue a heady mix of confusion and perturbation – surely Intel weren't suggesting that Arc GPUs would only function when paired with an Intel CPU, and a relatively new one at that? No, they weren't, though the guide's vague wording isn't doing it – and worse, potential Arc users – any favours. Parts of the guide appear to conflate support for Resizable BAR with support for the Arc A-series in general, which further muddies things as Resizable BAR works on AMD Ryzen chips as well as those three Core CPU generations. I asked Intel directly for clarification and essentially, Arc GPUs won't have such super specific CPU requirements just to run - though they'll apparently perform better in systems that do support Resizable BAR. |

Among the Monster Hunter Rise Sunbreak teases include details about additions to existing features. For example, Capcom went over the dango hopping skewers in May 2022. Now its latest video shows some of the additions coming in the Monster Hunter Rise Sunbreak photo mode. Three new features are specifically highlighted in the teaser trailer. First, there will be a Buddies: Face Camera option. If someone presses a button, any Palamutes and Palicos with you will turn to face the camera. On the Switch, this will be the left trigger. Next, the Monster Hunter Rise Sunbreak photo mode will allow people to hide the UI. The video shows what it looks like with and without the UI there. The example features a hunter standing with Chichae, the new quest damsel for the expansion. Finally, the video shows off the ability to have characters in the photo face the camera. On the Switch, pressing the - button will cause your hunter and any NPCs around to turn and pose. Here's the full Monster Hunter Rise Sunbreak photo mode video.
Monster Hunter Rise is available for the Nintendo Switch and PC, and the Sunbreak expansion will arrive on June 30, 2022. The post New Monster Hunter Rise Sunbreak Photo Mode Features Shown appeared first on Siliconera. |

The very beginning of the video briefly shows all areas in the main menu as of the 0.1000 Trial Version. It also shows off Chun-Li, Jamie, Luke, and Ryu's movesets ahead of matches. [Thanks, The Jeff Gerstmann Show!] People don't need to wait long to see the list of modes in this build of Street Fighter 6. Gerstmann's over 20 minutes of footage begins with a look at the Fighting Grounds main menu. The Arcade mode only has Story underneath it. Its description states every character has their own storyline. The Practice section has Character Guides, Combo Trials, Training, and Tutorials under it. In Versus, people can play One on One or in a Team Battle alone against the CPU or against another person. The Special Match option will apparently have "special rules and mechanics." Only the Extreme Battle mode appeared in the menu in this build. Finally, the Online area mentions league points and clubs. It lets people choose either casual or ranked matches or lets them make a custom room. The only mode available in the Street Fighter 6 0.1000 trial is One on One under Versus. Here's the full Gerstmann showing off the menus and matches. Street Fighter 6 will come to the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, and PC in 2023.

The FFXIV Japanese and European data center expansion details are here. Square Enix announced both will take place in patch 6.18 following the July 5, 2022 maintenance. It then went over what can expect from moves to the new FFXIV Meteor logical data center in Japan or new European worlds Alpha, Raiden, Phantom, and Sagittarius. First, there will be the typical two-week grace period for FFXIV Home World Transfers following the Japanese data center expansion and European data center expansion. As usual, the service will temporarily be down due to maintenance and to ensure it is working. Once it is back, people have two weeks to make a move for free. People on the Japanese data center with residences will get bonuses for going to a new world. If they owned an apartment, they'll get 500,000 gil for their old place and 500,000 gil for furnishings they can't remove and take with them. Those with an estate get 100% of its cost and 3,000,000 gil for any furnishings that would have to be left behind. Just don't vacate or relinquish before you move. Square Enix said in the FFXIV Chaos and Light data center new worlds, housing will temporarily be unavailable. There are also some new world bonuses connected to the FFXIV European data center expansion. Existing characters can move for free, will get double EXP for 90 days, get 10 gold chocobo feathers, and will get gil for moving from their apartment and estate. People who make new characters will get double EXP and 10 silver chocobo feathers right away. If you reach level 30 in a class, you also get 15 days of free play time and 1,000,000 gil. As for the FFXIV Japanese data center expansion regrouping, details about what happens to Deep Dungeons, Fellowships, Linkshells, and PVP teams came up. People's Deep Dungeons save data won't transfer. Fellowships will transfer with masters, but members not moving will be removed. Linkshells will transfer, with a new one being created with the same members. Finally for PVP teams, it will transfer over and be created, but members who aren't on that data center will be removed. Final Fantasy XIV is available for the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and PC. FFXIV patch 6.18 will bring with it the Japanese data center expansion with Meteor as a logical data center and European data center expansion with Alpha and Raiden on Light and Phantom and Sagittarius on Chaos. Data center travel will also come in 6.18. The post FFXIV Japanese and European Data Center Expansion Details Shared appeared first on Siliconera. |

On June 16, 2022, the official Alchemy Stars Twitter account teased a Persona 5 Royal event. Now it's confirmed. In July 2022, the crossover will begin. Details about the Persona 5 Royal Alchemy Stars crossover are rather vague. It's known this will be a limited event only available in-game for a brief time. While it runs, there will be a new storyline with characters from the JRPG. People will also be able to get a few folks from Persona 5 Royal and use them in-game. The announcement noted that some of the event-related items will require purchases. Apparently some could be unlocked by playing.
Alchemy Stars often hosts events with other properties. For example, at the beginning of January 2022, there was a crossover with Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid. People could add Tohru, Kanna, Lucoa, Elma, and Fafnir to their rosters during it. Alchemy Stars is available for Android and Apple iOS devices, and the Persona 5 Royal event will appear in July 2022. Persona 5 Royal is available on the PlayStation 4. It will come to the PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and PC on October 21, 2022. The post Alchemy Stars Persona 5 Royal Event Coming in July appeared first on Siliconera. |

Multiple SNK social media accounts including the SNK Global Twitter account are teasing a King of Fighters NFT project titled CryptoKOF. However, there is only a short trailer and a Twitter account, which has since protected its tweets, dedicated to the project at the time of the announcement. Though details are scarce, the project will involve SNK and a Shanghai-based NFT marketing firm. The 1-minute-long trailer shows clips of a futuristic city with seemingly no connection to the King of Fighters universe. Towards the end of the video, it closes in on a retro-style arcade with several arcade cabinets showing a "King of Fighters Crypto" logo. The video then shows the phrase "Remember Every Time You See The Moon" in Japanese. This could be a reference to the King of Fantasy spin-off novel and manga adaptation. You can see a screenshot of the announcement tweet below.
Oddly, the now locked CryptoKOF Twitter account has only a handful of followers and no other tweets, despite being "officially authorized." Aside from SNK, Shanghai-based NFT firm Metawave is also collaborating on the project. However, there is little to no information on the company's past crypto-related projects. The company also appears to be unrelated to the previously announced Netmarble King of Fighters Arena NFT project. SNK has already been selling KOF NFTs for some time now. The company holds a partnership with OnBuff, an NFT marketplace where it sells NFTs of popular fighters from KOF and its other franchises. All of this is part of a larger trend of Japan-based video game publishers breaking into the cryptocurrency industry. Recent examples include Square Enix, Konami, and Bandai Namco. The King of Fighters CryptoKOF NFT project is in development. There is no release date. The post SNK Teases King of Fighters CryptoKOF NFT Project appeared first on Siliconera. |

PC Invasion - FeedDDD Tuesday, June 21, 2022 11:00 AM  The title 'Capcom Fighting Collection' holds a hell of a lot of promise. The publisher/developer has released some of the greatest fighting games in existence. Street Fighter II was the game that basically made the genre what it is. There was an awful lot of that game included with Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection, which released back in 1998. But barring the versus titles, there aren't actually that many 2D Capcom fighters left to fill out a collection such as this. Capcom Fighting Collection is a good anthology of games outside the mainline Street Fighter series. Although it does surprisingly have a more complete version of Street Fighter II than the aforementioned collection for that series. Truth be told, Capcom Fighting Collection, as my review title implies, would have been better off being called "Darkstalkers and Friends" or something similar. This is basically a Darkstalkers collection with some odds and ends added in. All five ... |
PC Invasion - FeedDDD Tuesday, June 21, 2022 9:45 AM  The video game industry could always pull more from the Westerns genre, and Evil West is the latest game that's happy to oblige. Evil West, from developer Flying Wild Hog, was initially revealed back at The Game Awards in 2020. It's a third-person action game where players take on the role of vampire hunter Jesse Rentier. Flying Wild Hog is also known for other rough and tumble shooters like Shadow Warrior and Hard Reset. The new Evil West trailer gives us an extended look at various aspects of the game. Some light exploration allows players to swing to new areas and find extra coins, and there seems to be plenty of variety to combat. Encounters are fast and let players use a mixture of guns, melee attacks, and satisfying environmental kills. Unlockable perks should also make this more enjoyable as the game progresses. The Evil West trailer also shows off a variety of locations, including a more typical Western town, as well as a darker and more supernatural underground sect... |
