Kotaku Friday, July 29, 2022 5:05 PM  Anime as a medium has the power to cross physical and cultural barriers through its transformative stories and evocative art styles.

Kotaku Friday, July 29, 2022 11:33 AM  Valkyrie Profile, Tactics Ogre, and Front Mission are all due out in the months ahead. What year is it again? It's 2022, and it's already been glorious for fans of new and classic JRPGs alike. But some of the most exciting stuff is still ahead. Years after the genre was left for dead, it's never felt more vibrant. |

PCGamesN Friday, July 29, 2022 5:19 PM  Ambrose Island, the new Hitman 3 map, is out now and takes Agent 47 to a location rather different from what he's used to. Gone are the mansions of Sapienza and the clean, efficient laboratories of Chongqing. In their place is a rugged, lawless environment where smugglers and pirates clash and 47 learns a bit more about his erstwhile companion, Lucas Grey. PCGamesN spoke with Kevin Goyon, IO Interactive's live game director for Hitman 3, about how the team brought Ambrose Island to life and what opportunities creating such a remote setting opened up for design and storytelling.

PCGamesN Friday, July 29, 2022 4:35 PM  Bungie's pinnacle PvP activity is back in rotation with a major revamp, and if you're looking for details on the Destiny 2 Trials rewards this week, you've come to the right place. Before you start working your way up through the ladder, you'll want to know what you're actually working for - so here's a breakdown of what's available each week, and what map you'll be playing on. If you're not familiar with Trials of Osiris, it's a weekly PvP challenge where you enter a competitive gauntlet of 3v3 elimination matches. Your rewards are now doled out with a reputation system, so it's not about pure wins anymore, but you will still get special rewards if you can manage to go flawless. Trials lands with the reset every Friday at 10am PDT / 1pm EDT / 6pm BST, and lasts until the Tuesday reset at those same times. Each week provides a new set of rewards and a new map to play on, so here's what you can expect for the latest rotation. RELATED LINKS: Destiny 2 classes, Destiny 2 exotics, Destiny 2 builds |
PCGamesN Friday, July 29, 2022 4:32 PM  Looking for the Destiny 2 Xur location? Xûr is Destiny 2's Exotic gear merchant. He appears every weekend to sell the game's most coveted items in exchange for Legendary shards, but if you're a casual player with limited shards to spend, it can be hard to know which items you should purchase from his inventory. That's where we come in. Xûr provides random rolls and has done so since a change in 2020, so the Exotic merchant is providing plenty of excitement as he might arrive with a god roll. We'll update this Destiny 2 Xur location guide shortly after he arrives each week on Friday, so if you're reading this, you need only read on to learn where he is, and which are the best items he's selling this week. While he jumps around from week to week, Xur's location has stuck to an established rotation for a while now, so it's easy to figure out where he is.

PCGamesN Friday, July 29, 2022 12:45 PM  On the lookout for the best Warzone loadout? Now that the Vanguard Royale and Battle Royale playlists have been merged together to create one unified battle royale game, this means there are over 100 different weapons to pick from to build your perfect loadout drop. Despite the plentiful ground loot in Caldera's hot zones, you'll want a reliable build to help you take out the opposition as you try to outrun the encroaching gas cloud.

PCGamesN Friday, July 29, 2022 12:42 PM  Steam game art cannot include extraneous text such as reviews or awards from September 1, in accordance with new guidance from Valve. The Steam developer is aiming to tidy up its storefront with new rules that ban the use of text outside of the game's subtitle and title on its primary art asset. The new ruleset is aimed at what Steamworks calls "capsules" - the primary banner images that are used to represent games throughout the Steam store. In a post on the Steam community site, Valve lays out their new guidelines for the graphical assets, saying that, "It's our goal to make it as clear and straightforward as possible for customers to find games to buy and play on Steam." Valve says that an increase in text, award logos, promotional deals, and review scores being applied to these capsules has led to a lack of clarity on the store. The post continues, "Some game logos themselves have become so small that it's hard for players to tell what the name of the game is. In other cases, graphical asset images are so cluttered that it is distracting and hard to read." RELATED LINKS: Steam FAQ, Steam family sharing, Steam in-home streaming |
PCGamesN Friday, July 29, 2022 12:34 PM  Multiversus is the closest thing you'll get to Super Smash Bros on PC, but you can make it feel more like the Nintendo brawler by using a Gamecube controller. That's right, you can hook up that old gamepad to your rig and throw punches like it's 2001, and it's relatively easy to do. Sure, playing Multiversus with a Gamecube controller won't be for everyone, but if you're used to the Super Smash Bros Melee layout, your fingers and thumbs will thank you. It could also save you from picking up a new pad, as you might still have the boxy console's accessory stored away. It doesn't take much to get the franchise fighter working with Nintendo's iconic pad on PC, and it works surprisingly well once everything's configured. So, without further, here's how to play Multiversus with a Gamecube controller on PC and relive the glory days of Super Smash Bros.

PCGamesN Friday, July 29, 2022 12:26 PM  Want to know what the best Warzone guns are? Warzone Season 2 Reloaded completely changed the battle royale game by unifying the Vanguard Royale and Battle Royale playlists together. This means players no longer have to use Vanguard weapons if they own any of the guns from Modern Warfare and Black Ops Cold War, and we're continuing to reap the rewards in Season 4 Reloaded. Rebirth Island has also gone through radical changes, adding new areas to encourage players to explore the map. Picking out the best Call of Duty Warzone weapons can be difficult, especially with over 100 different options to pick from across three games. The latest weapons added to the FPS game are usually underpowered to avoid them dominating the meta early on, but we highly recommend unlocking every weapon as early as possible. Occasionally there are one or two weapons that manage to launch with completely broken stats, so it's worth keeping an eye on this page to find out which guns are currently performing well. The Warzone Season 4 Reloaded update has nerfed a number of Vanguard assault rifles while buffing a number of classic weapons from Modern Warfare. Here's everything you need to pick the best Warzone guns. RELATED LINKS: Warzone loadouts, Best AR in Warzone , The best guns in Warzone |

PCGamesN Friday, July 29, 2022 11:51 AM  Looking for the best SMGs in Warzone? Caldera, the new Warzone map, has completely changed the way the battle royale game is played. Compared to Verdansk's large open spaces spread throughout the map, Caldera is much tighter overall, packing each area with unique points of interest to keep things interesting. As a result, long range battles aren't as prevalent, causing weapons types like the best AR in Warzone and SMGs to dominate the meta. If you're still trying to pick off enemies from a distance using the best snipers, you need to have a reliable secondary weapon like the best SMGs in Warzone to immediately blast any flankers away. Don't forget to check out our best Warzone loadouts guide to see which attachments you need to build these game-breaking setups. The Warzone Season 4 Reloaded update has buffed a number of underused MW SMGs, while nerfing the Amaguerra 43, H4 Blixen, and Marco 5.

PCGamesN Friday, July 29, 2022 11:13 AM  Diablo Immortal server woes preventing players from logging into their main character server are disrupting another weekend Shadow War event, in addition to simply preventing people from playing. Multiple users on the Diablo Immortal forums and subreddit reported not being able to log in to the RPG game, instead being told that, "The server is busy at the moment." While being unable to log in and play is bad enough, the problem extended beyond that because the server downtime coincided with the beginning of the week's Shadow War. This meant that anyone unable to log in during the registration period couldn't join the event - and the problem was further exacerbated if clan leaders were affected. As highlighted in a thread on the Diablo Immortal subreddit, only the clan leader can initiate the Shadow War activity. This means that, for any clans where the leader is unable to log in, there isn't an alternative method for the team to continue with the activity in their stead. "It's ridiculous that you can have 100 people spending 3-5 weeks working on a common objective, only to have it tossed out the window because the leader isn't able to log in for reasons out of their control," says the thread's poster Cyballistic.

Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Friday, July 29, 2022 2:30 PM  In the age of years-long development cycles, it seems miraculous that Wolfenstein 3D, a game that spawned the modern-day FPS as we know it, was developed by six people in just six months. The story of Wolfenstein 3D's development makes for a fascinating time capsule of those early days of game development - a milestone in gaming history that underlines just how much the industry has grown over the decades since. But that's getting ahead of ourselves a bit. The origins of Wolfenstein 3D, a gloriously violent game that paved the way for the even more gloriously violent Doom, can be found in a somewhat more cutesy series of titles: the Commander Keen series. id Software made four of these side-scrolling platformers for MS-DOS in very quick succession between 1990 and 1991, and studio co-founder John Romero tells us that the team was definitely ready for a change. |

But I did see two upcoming games with similar names: Bicycle Mechanic Simulator and Bike Mechanic Simulator 2023.

You play as Jala, a young woman who just got booted out of her shared apartment after having a fight with her, now, ex-partner. With nowhere else to go, she's decided to take the bus back to her hometown of Timber Hills to move back in with her parents (hopefully, temporarily). While she's killing time on the journey, she begins to take a dating personality quiz aptly titled 'What's your Thirstsona?' and it transports her to a colourful dreamlike metaverse where she can skate around and answer deep questions about her love life.

It's actually two games, and I'm not sure which to call the main event. I know which one I prefer, because the story mode is a love letter to Half-Life 2, complete with Bane-muffled jackboot cops, endlessly catching up with a Story Guy who's inexplicably ahead of you again, a bionic arm standing in for the gravity gun, and a spooky dark underground section where you're swarmed by creepy mutants. It was good enough to tempt me this week, despite a few minor niggles, but its other half, Zone Patrol, is a Stalker-esque sandbox where it really shines. |

More info on the upcoming Chainsaw Man anime series is nigh. The official Chainsaw Man Twitter account revealed the show's key visual. At the same time, it teased that the first trailer for the series will debut early in August. Check out the new Chainsaw Man key visual below.
The poster for the Chainsaw Man anime shows off Denji standing atop some rubble. Seen in his devil form and sprouting chainsaw blades from his limbs and head, the visual communicates the series' gory, violent aesthetic and its modern setting. Based on the manga series by Tatsuki Fujimoto, the show will follow the adventures of Denji, a novice devil hunter. After being betrayed and left for dead, Denji forms a contract with his pet chainsaw devil, Pochita. This allows him to fuse with Pochita and call on his chainsaw-wielding power to kill devils and make a better life for himself. The show is being produced by studio MAPPA. According to the post from the official account, the first Chainsaw Man anime trailer will debut on August 5th, Friday, at 8:00PM Japan time. The trailer will go live on MAPPA's YouTube channel, as well as on Japanese video services NicoNico Douga and Abema TV. The event will be more than just a trailer reveal, though. The same broadcast will also reveal the show's main cast, and have them onstage as guests for comments and interviews. The Chainsaw Man anime will air in 2022. Its first full trailer debuts on August 5, 2022. The manga is published in English by Viz Media. Check out previous teasers for the adaptation here.

However, a Japanese press release announcing the game has shown up courtesy of Exnoa, the company behind the DMM Games platform. It confirmed that the visual novel will be available on PC browsers. The Da Capo series originated as an adult visual novel released for PCs in Japan in June 2002. However, Circus also released all-ages versions of the games on PCs and consoles. The company mostly sells the PC versions in physical formats. As of this writing, Da Capo 3 R is the only entry that is available digitally on Steam. The previous mainline entry, Da Capo 4, appeared in 2019. In 2021, Circus also released Da Capo 4: Fortunate Departures, a direct sequel telling stories after the endings in the original game. Da Capo 5 will be available on PC browsers via DMM Games in Japan. Circus has yet to announce a release window for the new visual novel.
