Kotaku Friday, July 8, 2022 10:55 AM  Up until now, reverse bullet-hell shooter Vampire Survivors, one of the year's must-play indie hits, did not have a final boss. That's no longer the case in the wake of a recent update, which adds a new version of the game's final stage. |
PCGamesN Friday, July 8, 2022 11:47 AM  The Stray release date is fast approaching, and concern has been growing among those hoping to play the indie feline adventure on the Steam Deck. Thankfully, Valve has recently updated the game's Steam store page, and it appears that it should run purrfectly on the handheld gaming PC.

PCGamesN Friday, July 8, 2022 11:43 AM  Overwatch 2 players in the FPS game's second beta have been spending plenty of time getting used to the new tank hero Junker Queen. However, some of them are concerned that her character model doesn't fit her tank status, with one fan using some basic measurements to demonstrate why her size could be a problem for the multiplayer game's readability. Reddit user WenisDongerAndAssocs posted to the Overwatch subreddit (spotted by GamesRadar+) explaining why they feel Junker Queen's current model isn't 'tank-like' enough. In their own words, "Junker Queen breaks the rules of proportions for a tank." They include an image demonstrating that every other tank in Overwatch is no more than twice as tall as they are wide, with the singular exception of Zarya who clocks in at a height 2.75x that of her width. By comparison, Junker Queen's model is approximately 3.5x as tall as it is wide. Clocking in at seven feet tall (according to Bizzard senior art supervisor Kacey Helms), it's not that Junker Queen is even close to diminutive - but height can be deceptive, especially at distance. As WenisDonger notes, tanks in Overwatch are designed so that "their wide silhouettes communicate protection and stability." It's not just for aesthetics, though - it's about quickly recognising where certain hero types are located mid-fight, and many players in the reddit thread say they are misidentifying Junker Queen as a DPS hero at a glance.

PCGamesN Friday, July 8, 2022 11:43 AM  Looking to find the Diablo Immortal Ancient Nightmare spawn location and defeat the world boss? If you're having trouble, we don't blame you! Like all world bosses in Blizzard's mobile RPG game, the Ancient Nightmare is classed as a zone event, meaning a number of conditions must be met before you can even be eligible to engage it in battle. Once you are able to encounter it, you might end up wishing you hadn't. The Diablo Immortal Ancient Nightmare is a demonic creature of epic proportion that truly lives up to its name. We would always recommend tackling world bosses as part of a group due to their enormous health pools and punishing difficulty. Taking on the Ancient Nightmare alone would be an impossible feat. It would also be wise to kit yourself out with all the best Diablo Immortal legendary gems, charms, and set items you can get your hands on.

PCGamesN Friday, July 8, 2022 11:40 AM  Call of Duty: Vanguard is a brutal FPS, filled with bombs, blood, and brutality, but one daring player, taking inspiration from Desmond Doss and Hacksaw Ridge, has decided to show us all there's a better way, by reaching prestige level ten without killing a single opponent. |
PCGamesN Friday, July 8, 2022 11:49 AM  Curious about the Diablo Immortal Shadow War? Blizzard's mobile RPG game includes a surprisingly complex PvP combat system that can be confusing at first glance. That said, after spending so much time collecting all the best Diablo Immortal set items, legendary gems and charms for your character, we wouldn't blame you for wanting to see how it all fares against another player, and the Shadow War is sure to put your build through its paces. Put simply, the Diablo Immortal Shadow War is a weekly PvP clan tournament that pits up to 90 Shadows faction members against towering Immortals controlled by other players. If PvP in Diablo Immortal is entirely new to you, it's absolutely vital that you check out our guide on the Diablo Immortal Shadows faction, which includes details on how to join, ranks, rewards, and more. If you're not a member, you won't be eligible to take part in the Shadow War. RELATED LINKS: Diablo Immortal tier list, Diablo Immortal system requirements, Best Diablo Immortal builds |
PCGamesN Friday, July 8, 2022 11:32 AM  Want to know how to get Monster Hunter Rise Sunbreak afflicted materials? Once you reach the endgame of this massive RPG game, you're going to need to make the best weapons and armour, including Master Layered Armor. Once you've slain the campaign's final boss and completed the urgent quest at Master Rank 10, you can start gathering afflicted materials in Anomaly quests. There are eight types of afflicted materials, each obtained through a specific tier of Anomaly quests. Now, you may think you're an ace hunter, and even the new Monster Hunter Rise Sunbreak monsters stand no chance against you. You should, therefore, be able to get Monster Hunter Rise Sunbreak afflicted materials easily. We like that confidence, however, it's worth keeping in mind that you can't capture them to end the fight early. It's an inconvenience, especially since every monster in these Anomaly quests carries a disease in addition to having brand new moves and an extremely high health stat. |
PCGamesN Friday, July 8, 2022 11:15 AM  The best F1 22 Austria setup is essential if you want to contend with the front-runners. This circuit has the quickest lap times out of all the tracks in the game this year, thanks to three consecutive fast DRS sections. It's 71 laps long and in a standard season, will be the 11th race on the calendar. It goes without saying that these car settings for the best F1 22 Austria setup largely depend on your driving style, car performance, and weather conditions, but this is the rough ballpark you want to be aiming for in one of the best racing games this year. Austria has a couple of slow corners between the fast sections with notable elevation changes, so we advise you to run plenty of practice laps with slightly adjusted camber and ride height especially.

PCGamesN Friday, July 8, 2022 10:26 AM  The world of Terraria is packed with secrets and mysteries that enable players to experience their own unique stories - now the crafting game is telling a tale of its own with a new official Terraria graphic novel series. The project is being handled by 50 Amp Productions in collaboration with the RPG game's developer Re-Logic. The first book in the series is almost finished, according to a post by Re-Logic on the game's Steam news page. Each book comprises four separate issues, with the book one, issue one cover art being revealed in the post - although Re-Logic notes that the Terraria logo used in the artwork is a placeholder and will be replaced for the final product by a brand-new custom logo designed for the graphic novel series. "Outside of working on Terraria itself, this is maybe the most excited we have been for any project we have been involved with thus far," proclaims Re-Logic in its post, saying that it has "high hopes and big plans here, should these do well enough and meet with the approval of the Terraria community."

PCGamesN Friday, July 8, 2022 9:44 AM  People Can Fly's exhilarating sci-fi shooter is back with a new expansion – Outriders Worldslayer. Worldslayer brings players back to the world of Enoch, which has now been ravaged by the Anomaly, vastly changing the landscape to a frozen wasteland. There's a whole new campaign to play through, which – like the original campaign – can be experienced solo or with up to two friends. In true Outriders fashion, there are masses of fearsome enemies and formidable bosses to take on in Worldslayer, and how you fare against them will depend on how you set up your character. There are lots of variations in how you can set up your Outrider, allowing you to use different abilities and powers to defeat your enemies. How your character progresses will depend on the class you choose – this is also one of the first choices you'll have to make in Outriders, so be sure you're happy with your selection before you get too deep into the game. Unlike some other loot shooters, Outriders offers clear and distinctive playstyles for each of its classes, with a level of depth available for players who wish to dive deep into speccing their characters in a certain direction. And you get four main classes to pick from, so you don't have to tie your destiny to just one of three classes, and you'll be in the right frame of mind for warring without having to choose between a million different options. Players who want to casually enjoy the game can also choose to simply continue down a predetermined path, so they can focus on the action without getting overwhelmed by choice.

PCGamesN Friday, July 8, 2022 7:29 AM  IO Interactive has revealed its Hitman 3 July roadmap for the assassination sandbox game, which includes a reveal trailer and release date for the new Hitman 3 map Ambrose Island. The new location, a stunning but dangerous tropical island, is coming in July and will be free to owners of the open-world game. Some returning elusive targets are also on the way, as well as a promise of additional quality of life improvements. The Hitman 3 year 2 July roadmap lays out the forthcoming month of updates (we may already be a week in but, as IO says, better late than never). Headlining the schedule is Ambrose Island, a hidden cove on a tropical island out in the Andaman Sea, which can be found in the northeastern Indian Ocean alongside Myanmar and Thailand. Ambrose Island arrives on July 26, and will be available for free to all owners of Hitman 3. It's "home to a dangerous pirate syndicate," and the location reveal trailer is narrated by a rather mean-looking figure in a yellow bandana who appears to be one of the group's leaders. "You rejected us because we were different," says the character over panning shots of the island's jungles, "now you look at us with envy and fear." You can check out the reveal trailer below.

PCGamesN Friday, July 8, 2022 6:21 AM  If you haven't played Hearthstone in a while, you might find that Blizzard comes knocking with armfuls of free Hearthstone packs to try and tempt you back into their Warcraft-themed card game. This might not sound too surprising, as returning player bonuses have been awarded in Hearthstone previously, but the number of packs on offer here is quite frankly astronomical - with some users receiving as many as 150 free packs. Multiple players on the game's subreddit reported that they were offered this rather generous "welcome back gift" bundle, which consists of 75 classic packs and 75 packs from the game's newest expansion, Voyage to the Sunken City. Others were sent a smaller number, such as 20 packs split across the two sets. Nevertheless, this is still quite a tempting offer - especially as the potential cost of getting back into a card game can often be off-putting. Speaking to PC Gamer, a Blizzard spokesperson confirmed the deal, saying that the promotion is "a region-specific test for Hearthstone in the UK and France for a subset of relevant players who were first randomly sorted into groups before being assigned a corresponding offer between 20 and 150 packs."

PCGamesN Friday, July 8, 2022 5:49 AM  Taking the time to clean a laptop screen is essential, especially if you want to keep your portable powerhouse in tip-top condition. Even careful gaming PC enthusiasts can end up with a mucky display, as even momentary touches leave stubborn smudges and marks. It's worth checking how to clean a laptop screen, as it's easier than you think to permanently damage your panel. Using a damp cloth to tackle smudges is tempting, but it more often than not makes things worse. You'll also want to avoid using any old liquid cleaner, as this could ruin your panel's coating and leave irreversible blemishes. Of course, you could just leave your display the way it is, but if you're rocking a portable rig with a high-resolution panel, you'll want it to look its best. So, to help keep your on-the-go experience crystal clear, here's how to clean a laptop screen and prevent gunk from obscuring your view.

PCGamesN Friday, July 8, 2022 5:28 AM  Looking for a Genshin Impact tier list? There are currently 50 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.

Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Friday, July 8, 2022 11:19 AM  Madison is a fun game to write about. It's a puzzle horror game set in your traditional haunted house, aiming at a P.T. or Layers Of Fear vibe down the viewfinder of a Polaroid camera. Said camera was a second-hand gift for Luca's (that's you!) 16th birthday. It is also possessed by a demon, which is where the fun comes in, "fun" here meaning jump scares and hallucinatory clocks. Let that be a lesson to anyone thinking of getting their son something that was evidence in a murder as a present. This is one of many bad choices characters in Madison made. They are mostly now dead. The game itself sometimes makes very good choices, though it's about 50/50 that it goes a bit too weird and ends up being silly. This makes for an intriguing mixture, especially with a complicated story of murder and neglect spanning decades, and by the end I was extremely fond of the way the sublime and the ridiculous sat side by side. The main let down isn't that Madison sometimes makes you giggle by accident, but that its multi-stage puzzles become so drawn out that you stop jumping at creepy angels and terrifying violin squeals. You've got numbers to write down and candles to move, and you don't have time for any demonic antics right now, godammit. |

Xenoblade Chronicles 3 will support both English and Japanese-language voice tracks upon launch. However, unlike Xenoblade Chronicles 2, players won't need a separate download to install their preferred voice track. Instead, the initial Xenoblade 3 game install is dual audio. This means it contains both voice tracks, and will let players choose their preferred voice language from the outset. Nintendo confirmed the inclusion via a Tweet. https://twitter.com/NintendoEurope/status/1545392286049222658 The tweet included a video comparing both voice tracks, allowing players to experience Xenoblade Chronicles 3 in dual audio and contrast the characters' lines and delivery in either language. Earlier videos also confirmed the English voice cast for Xenoblade Chronicles 3.
Additionally, here's the Japanese voice cast.
It's beneficial for Xenoblade Chronicles 3 to have dual audio options for voice acting. After all, not every user has unlimited access to internet bandwidth. They may not be in a position to visit the eShop to queue up an added download. Xenoblade Chronicle 3 will release on the Nintendo Switch on July 29, 2022. Check out Siliconera's preview of the game's first hours. Graham called the early hours of the game "a familiar, robust adventure" and "a comfort for those who use games like this as long-term companions."

The DioField Chronicle will launch on September 22, 2022 in Japan and overseas. After confirming the news last week, Square Enix and developer Lancarse released a launch date trailer for The DioField Chronicle. It shows a mix of gameplay and narrative footage. It highlights characters involved in the story, as well. Check out the trailer below, via the official DioField Chronicle YouTube channel. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LD6weq_KVU4 The DioField Chronicle launch date trailer highlights the game's aesthetic. The game world blends magical fantasy with early-industrial elements. Soldiers wield spears, bows, and swords and wear armor, but also fight with firearm-style weapons and enter battle on metal ships bearing artillery cannon. Amidst the chaos of war, a band of elite, independent mercenaries called Blue Fox arises, their deeds entering legend. Characters like Andreas Rhondarson, Fredret Lester, Iscarion Colchester, Waltaquin Redditch lead The Blue Fox. They're shown questioning their actions and making decisions about how to involve themselves in the war that grips the land of The DioField Chronicle. The distinctive "diorama"-style battle systems are shown off in The DioField Chronicle launch trailer. In-game graphics are shown in "tilt-shift" style, a camera technique designed to make large-scale objects look like miniature models. Battles will take place in real-time, and players can assign units to move along pre-planned waypoints to flank enemy forces. Non-battle footage from the trailer also shows a strategic-scale map, where players can move their forces on the map, like generals on campaign. The DioField Chronicles launches on Nintendo Switch, PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC on September 22, 2022. Japanese digital storefronts will host a playable demo on August 10, 2022.

HoYoVerse has released some information on the upcoming new 4-star character, Heizou, in Genshin Impact. He will be part of the first Version 2.8 banner, alongside returning 5-star Kazuha. Heizou will be the game's first male Catalyst user, and he will be of the Anemo element. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mp-u0LmUikU Though he is a Catalyst user, Heizou's combat animations utilize a lot of martial arts moves. In his character video, he discusses what his beliefs are as a detective, as well as how useless resorting to violence is against him. His Elemental Skill, Heartstopper Strike, can charge up to four stacks for increased damage. Meanwhile, his Elemental Burst, Windmuster Kick, deals AoE Anemo damage. Heizou is a detective for the Tenryou Commission, and various existing Inazuma characters mention him in their voice lines. In Japanese, Yuichi Iguchi will voice him, and in English, Kieran Regan will. Previous roles from Iguchi include Genshiro Saji from High School DxD and Hotarumaru from Touken Ranbu. As for Regan, he previously appeared as Rio in Seirei Gensouki: Spirit Chronicles and Cub in Akedo: Ultimate Arcade Warriors. Aside from Heizou's debut, Version 2.8 will also have the new Summertime Odyssey event. Finishing the event will give players a free Fischl. Fischl will be one of the characters getting a new outfit, with Diluc getting one as well. Genshin Impact is available on PS4, PS5, Windows PC, and mobile devices. A Nintendo Switch version is still in development. Genshin Impact Version 2.8 will go live on July 13, 2022, with Heizou on Kazuha's banner.

Nintendo announced two new games coming to the Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pass library, including Custom Robo and Custom Robo V2 for the N64. However, Custom Robo and its sequel will only be available to Expansion Pass subscribers in Japan. Instead, global subscribers will receive Pokemon Puzzle League. Both games will be available starting July 15, 2022, at no additional cost to subscribers. Custom Robo is a sci-fi RPG originally released in 1999 for the Nintendo 64. Players would control a small robot and battle against other robots, collecting parts that could be used to customize their character. Many of the series' games were exclusive to Japan, with the international releases being Custom Robo: Battle Revolution for the GameCube and Custom Robo Arena for the Nintendo DS. https://twitter.com/Nintendo/status/1545212433035595776?s=20&t=8TBnBS7ToNTIeZyt2bW2tw Both Custom Robo and Custom Robo V2 will support local and online multiplayer on the Nintendo Switch. Custom Robo will support up to two players, while Custom Robo V2 will support up to four players at once. Furthermore, much like last month's Pokemon Snap N64 release, players will be able to customize their button bindings if they do not have the N64 controller. On the global side of things, Expansion Pack subscribers will receive Pokemon Puzzle League. Released in 2000 for the N64, the game mechanics function similarly to Tetris Attack or Panel de Pon games. The game notably features the characters from the original Pokemon anime series. https://twitter.com/NintendoAmerica/status/1545213151091867648?s=20&t=8TBnBS7ToNTIeZyt2bW2tw Custom Robo and Custom Robo V2 will be available for Japanese Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pass subscribers starting July 15, 2022.

The official Twitter for The First Slam Dunk has uploaded a short trailer (just under twenty seconds) to tease the upcoming movie. It will air in Japan on December 3, 2022. Toei Animation and Dandelion Animation Studio will produce the movie, with original author Takehiko Inoue serving as the writer and director. There is no news as of yet in regards to a Western release. https://twitter.com/movie_slamdunk/status/1544992710641082368 Takehiko Inoue first announced the upcoming film on Twitter in 2021. Though the original show, which aired from 1993 to 1996, used traditional animation, The First Slam Dunk will be computer animated. Toei Animation was the original studio to work on the 90's anime as well. So far, there is no news on if the cast will reprise their roles. There is also no information on the plot of the movie. Slam Dunk is the seventh best-selling manga series in history, with 170 million copies in circulation. It follows the story of Hanamichi Sakuragi, a delinquent at Shohoku High School. One day, he meets Haruko Akagi and falls in love with her. Akagi introduces him to the high school's basketball team, where he is a natural despite his somewhat bad attitude. The story follows Sakuragi as he learns to love the sport, as well as the team's journey to fame. The First Slam Dunk will debut in theaters in Japan on December 3, 2022.

PC Invasion - FeedDDD Friday, July 8, 2022 11:00 AM  The Meta Quest 2 (formerly known as the Oculus Quest 2) raised some small controversy (or frustration) in its initial release. It forced all users to log into the system with their Facebook accounts. I'm pretty sure the one and only Meta boss Mark Zuckerberg already knows everything about me, even though I don't use Facebook (Twitter makes more sense nowadays). Regardless, the privacy issues are pretty obvious, virtual reality and social media and all. The concerns seemed loud enough, though, as Meta has relented. Starting next month, you don't need to log into your Meta Quest with a Facebook account. News of this broke through an official post on Facebook by Zuckerberg. The Meta CEO revealed that players could instead make separate Meta accounts that can be used for the VR headsets. According to Zuckerberg, this will "give everyone more choice about how you show up in the metaverse." Zuckerberg has been pushing hard on the "big new thing" that... |
PC Invasion - FeedDDD Friday, July 8, 2022 9:45 AM  Patch 0.8.0 of the popular action rogue-lite Vampire Survivors just dropped today on Steam, and this one will definitely excite longtime players. Most patches up to this point introduced elements like a new playable character or item of some sort, but this one adds something arguably more important than those: an actual conclusion to the game. More specifically, this update, dubbed "The Winged One," implements a final boss that Vampire Survivors players can now challenge. Those itching to experience this new boss encounter can find it at the end of the newly added final stage. The area takes the form of an altered version of the fifth stage. Once players successfully triumph over this fearsome foe, the final stage "will revert to a simpler version" in future playthroughs. We won't spoil anything concrete about what the final boss will entail, but can say that it sports about as much visual chaos as one would expect. Anything else in the patch? ... |
