     Dead by Daylight killer Pyramid Head critiqued by Silent Hill designer

The Dead by Daylight killer Pyramid Head has been discussed and debated by the Silent Hill designer behind the original character, who suggests that a changed version of the monster should feature as a DBD killer in Behaviour Interactive's asymmetrical multiplayer horror game.

Masahiro Ito, the art director for Silent Hill 2, and a monster designer for the first trilogy of Silent Hill games, suggests that an alternative version of Pyramid Head could be used as a Dead by Daylight killer, owing to the fact that the original design of the monster was created specifically to relate to Silent Hill 2's protagonist, James Sunderland. In Silent Hill 2 – one of the best horror games – Pyramid Head is a dark reflection of James' psyche, reflecting his anger and bitterness towards his wife.

     Overwatch 2 system requirements

Need to check your PC against the Overwatch 2 system requirements? We've got you covered. Although you won't be able to get away with integrated graphics like the first game, you probably won't need to upgrade your CPU in order to play Blizzard's long-awaited hero shooter sequel - unless you want to pump out the frames, that is.

The Overwatch 2 system requirements are generally more demanding than its predecessor. It's got a larger storage footprint, demanding 50GB of space on your gaming SSD rather than 30GB, as well as increasing the amount of gaming RAM you'll need to meet the minimum or recommended specs. Now, the previously recommended graphics card requirements are the minimum, and Blizzard suggests you use an Intel Core i7 rather than the cheaper Core i5.

That said, the Overwatch 2 system requirements make for a modest barrier to entry. It carries the same minimum processor requirements as the original and doesn't ask for more than 8GB of RAM in a world that now gravitates towards 16GB. You also won't need a graphics card that's capable of ray tracing in order to get in on the action, nor need to install the game on an SSD, although it'll likely perform better with one.

     The best Western games on PC in 2022

What are the best Western games on PC that you should be playing? It's not an easy decision to make. The Wild West is a time of lawlessness, striking gold, and perilous shootouts - no wonder it's the subject of many top cowboy games.

Western games are inspired heavily by the cowboy media that has come before them, and it's fair to say that the humble Western is a cornerstone of American culture. The game studios that decide to take on the challenge of bringing the American Frontier into our lives have a lot of pressure to get it right. Luckily, a number of them have absolutely nailed what being a cowboy is all about. And, fortunately for you, we've done the hard work of corralling the varmints right here.

Fatal Fury Garou

The legendary fighting game series is coming back. SNK announced at EVO 2022 that it "green-lit" a new Fatal Fury / Garou project for development. This would be the first such project in the works since 1999's Garou: Mark of the Wolves (a.k.a. Fatal Fury: Mark of the Wolves).

Check out SNK's new Fatal Fury teaser trailer below.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7YP3wVygHLg

All in all, the teaser reveals very little about the project. Its naming to Fatal Fury/Garou and the use of Rock Howard in the teaser art implies that it's a follow-up to Mark of the Wolves, at least. In Garou, Rock Howard, son of longtime villain Geese Howard, is a student of series hero Terry Bogard, as well. SNK's announcement also trumpets the project as "the long awaited sequel". Besides the art, the teaser trailer displayed cryptic hints as to the nature of the story. Lines like "The City of Legend Still Breathes," "Hungry Wolves Back on the Prowl," and "A New Destiny Hidden in the Darkness" promise new plotlines spinning off from the narrative of 20 years ago.

Though a Fatal Fury game hasn't made an appearance in over two decades, its characters have kept busy in other games. They've often shown up in the rosters of various King of Fighters titles. Terry Bogard himself even joined Super Smash Bros. Ultimate in 2019 as a DLC fighter.

SNK is developing a new Fatal Fury/Garou title, though its platforms and release window are unspecified. King of Fighters XV is available on PC, PS4, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S.

Guilty Gear Bridget

Bridget returns! Arc System Works had a surprise announcement for Guilty Gear fans at EVO 2022, and it involved the return of a beloved character. Bridget joins the Guilty Gear Strive roster on August 8, 2022, not even a day after the announcement itself. This is the first time Bridget is playable since 2003's Guilty Gear Isuka.

Check out ArcSys' Bridget Guilty Gear Strive announcement trailer below.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BWOUBwWMakg

Bridget is seen in a new outfit. Rather than the stylized nun outfit worn in previous incarnations, Bridget's new clothing blends everyday wear with nun-like outlines and patterns. Bridget wears a jacket with a hood that resembling a nun's habit, with a sweater, short skirt, and athletic shorts underneath. Bridget's handcuff belt and yo-yo are still used as accessories, with the yo-yo functioning as a single-foot skate, as well.

Bridget was first introduced to the Guilty Gear roster in Guilty Gear XX. Born male in a village where having twin sons was considered a bad omen, Bridget was raised as a girl to avoid persecution. In previous games, Bridget conformed to the archetype of a cross-dressing male character, and was referred to with masculine pronouns. However, Bridget's character biography on the official Guilty Gear Strive page appears to be written to avoid using pronouns at all. At this time, Arc System Works has not confirmed if it intends to change Bridget's characterization. When Testament joined the roster in March, they confirmed that Testament is agender, and uses "they/them" pronouns rather than the masculine ones from previous games.

Bridget joins Guilty Gear Strive on August 8, 2022. Three more characters will join the roster in 2022 and 2023 as part of Season Pass 2. The game is playable on PC, PS4, and PS5.

     Nine Noir Lives Trailer Cat Day 1Believe it or not, Stray's release date of July 19 didn't make that day Cat Day. No, International Cat Day, recognized officially on August 8, is today. What better time for developer Silvernode Games to release a new gameplay trailer for Nine Noir Lives? The point-and-click adventure game stars a furry feline detective in a murder case that puts him in the sights of two crime families. Cats are famously curious, so it makes sense to dress one up in a trench coat. I think? Anyway. Nine Noir Lives is a game inspired by the greats of the '90s. But with a twist. As a cat, much of your feline intuition comes not just from asking questions, but by using your tongue to lick anything — and anyone.   The Nine Noir Lives gameplay trailer shows off some of this furious licking in action. From bowls of snacks to sentient milk cartons, you can pretty much lick anything in sight. The feline detective, Cuddles Nutterbutter, doesn't seem to have much shame in the ac...
