Kotaku Monday, August 8, 2022 6:00 PM  Did you watch the latest Sonic live-action movie and think to yourself: "This is cool and all, but what about a movie like this, but starring Pac-Man from the Pac-Man video game franchise?!" Well, first off you got a weird brain. Secondly, I got good news for you as it has been reported that the world is indeed… |
Kotaku Monday, August 8, 2022 5:40 PM  EVO 2022 came with an assortment of hype moments over the weekend, including the most incredible "Cell Yell" I've heard since Dragon Ball FighterZ's first season in 2018. Sprinkled throughout the tournament were a few announcements, too, such as the welcome reveal of rollback netcode for more fighting games. But… |

Kotaku Monday, August 8, 2022 3:00 PM  Since last year, Netflix has offered its subscribers access to free video games. Now, data shows that less than one percent of its users are actually playing any of these games. And while the streaming giant has announced more games coming to its service, very few of its over 200 million subscribers will likely care. |
Kotaku Monday, August 8, 2022 1:39 PM  Xenoblade Chronicles 3 has been five years in the making and it shows. Monolith Soft's latest open-field JRPG odyssey has more systems and more to do than either previous game in the trilogy (not to mention the often overlooked Xenoblade Chronicles X). I'm enjoying it a ton so far. I'm also learning lots of useful… |

But there was one instance during the … |
Kotaku Monday, August 8, 2022 1:00 PM  Just when you thought Assassin's Creed Valhalla couldn't get any bigger, it does. Last week, Ubisoft added a free roguelike mode called "the Forgotten Saga," which is basically the size of a whole game unto itself. Even worse, it's genuinely really good. Dammit! |
Kotaku Monday, August 8, 2022 12:10 PM  It's been a week since the Diablo 4 beta test started, and players are already leaking footage of the game on the internet. What's funny is that the screenshots have the testers' identifying number all over them, which means that Blizzard likely already knows who these people are. |
PCGamesN Monday, August 8, 2022 6:08 PM  It's no secret that solid state drives are significantly faster than hard drives, but they're much more expensive per gigabyte than their mechanical counterparts.

PCGamesN Monday, August 8, 2022 3:28 PM  It's always nice to see a cat in a videogame. Or it was, anyway. Upcoming PC game STALKER 2 has cats that may convince us to rethink our pro-cat position. The concept art for the cats that will appear in STALKER 2 shows something about as un-cuddly as you can imagine, and the details GSC Game World has included are bone-chilling. |

One such collectible is Sigils - items used to purchase resources or upgrade specific named structures in the world, like Inazuma's Sacred Sakura tree. In Genshin Impact version 3.0, Sumeru's Tree of Dreams will take Dendro Sigils and provide players with rewards.

PCGamesN Monday, August 8, 2022 4:10 PM  Duke Nukem Forever, the infamous FPS from 3D Realms, at one time rivalled GTA 6, Half-Life 3, and a new Silent Hill on the list of upcoming games players were most curious to see released. Its 2011 arrival wasn't exactly met with fanfare, but that might be to do with several key visual features being cut, features that modders are starting to piece back together. |
Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Monday, August 8, 2022 5:00 PM  I don't spend a ton of time testing gaming laptops these days, but one of my recent favourites was the Zephyrus G14. This laptop is slim and compact, yet sports a brilliant 14-inch 2560x1600 120Hz display, a powerful RX 6700S graphics card and a top-end Ryzen 9 6900HS processor. This is backed with a 1TB NVMe SSD and 16GB of DDR5 RAM (!!), an impressive loadout that uses basically the fastest and latest-gen components you can fit into a laptop of this size. Today Best Buy in the US are doing a great price on this spec of the Zephyrus G14, charging $1399.99 for it rather than the launch price of $1649.99 - a $250 reduction. That's the best price we've seen for this model and an awesome deal on a compact yet powerful all-AMD laptop. |
Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Monday, August 8, 2022 4:42 PM  Graphics cards are falling in price rapidly, and nowhere is this more true than on the bleeding-edge end of the market. After seeing discounts on AMD's first 6000-series graphics cards last month, we're now also seeing deep cuts to the more recent 6X50 models - including the subject of this piece, the Radeon RX 6950 XT. This particular card is the very fastest that AMD make, and offers rasterised performance on par with Nvidia's RTX 3090 and 3090 Ti. Today, it's been discounted to £850 at Scan, a big reduction from its original UK RRP of £1065 earlier this year. |

EVO Japan will return in Spring 2023 after a pandemic-induced hiatus. The event's general manager Rick Thiher has confirmed that EVO Japan 2023 will take place in Tokyo from late March to early April 2023. The group has also updated the Japanese event's official website and set up a new Japanese Twitter account. Four titles will feature prominently in EVO Japan 2023 as main tournaments. They will be Arc System Works' Guilty Gear Strive, SNK's The King of Fighters XV, Capcom's Street Fighter V: Champion Edition, and Bandai Namco's Tekken 7. The organizers will reveal more titles in the lineup and details for tournament registrations in Fall 2022. EVO Japan is the first event in the Evolution Championship Series to appear outside of the US. The inaugural event launched in January 2018. The organizers managed to hold the event annually in 2019 and 2020, but it was halted due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Just like the original American event, developers of the featured games often publish new information in the middle of the tournaments. For example, the 2020 edition saw new playable character reveals for SoulCalibur VI and Samurai Shodown, as well as a new feature update for Tekken 7. EVO Japan 2023 will take place physically at Tokyo Big Sight from March 31 to April 2, 2023. The post EVO Japan 2023 Will Take Place Physically Next Spring appeared first on Siliconera. |

Arc System Works announced that it had sold over 1 million units of Guilty Gear Strive in physical shipments and digital sales worldwide. Its press release added more significance, as Strive also became the company's first-ever title to reach the million sales milestone. The Guilty Gear team's 2D artist Kenta Asano drew a celebratory illustration to mark Strive's 1 million sales milestone. It features Bridget, which will appear as the first Season Pass 2 character. Announced during the Evo 2022 tournament, the most-requested series character in Japan will return simultaneously worldwide on August 8, 2022 (August 9, 2022, in Japan). At the same time, the company also published a new trailer to mark the fighting game's first anniversary. It features a music video of Sol Badguy's theme song in Strive, "Find Your One Way." The Japanese animation studio Sanzigen produced this video. [tnm_video layout="mnmd-post-media"]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gp4-n_u-q[/tnm_video] Arc System Works sold over 300,000 units of Guilty Gear Strive during its launch week in June 2021. It raised the number to 500,000 units in mid-July 2021, roughly a month after release. That means it took roughly another year for the fighting game to reach the million sales milestone. Guilty Gear Strive is available worldwide on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, PC, and arcades. A new wave of content additions through Season Pass 2 will begin with Bridget's inclusion on August 8, 2022.

The event will grant players two new playable characters, as well as a new summon. There is also a trailer for the event available on YouTube. Luffy will be a playable character, while Nami and Robin will team up as a single unit. Hijikata and Okita in the Gintama event worked the same way, as do some of the units native to Granblue Fantasy. You can uncap Luffy to unlock two more pieces of artwork for him. Uta also appears as a summon, with Kaori Nazuka reprising her role. [gallery link="file" ids="933361,933362,933363"] The trailer is part of the Granblue Fantasy live-stream and features voice actor jokes. For reference, Rackam's voice actor Hiroaki Hirata also voiced Sanji in One Piece. During the trailer, Rackam is a good cook and calls the women of the crew 'mademoiselles,' just like Sanji does. Walder is also prominent in the trailer, serving as the sane man to Rackam. Walder's voice actor Kappei Yamaguchi also voices Usopp in One Piece. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2lz5mI7H_aM&t=12834s Granblue Fantasy is available on mobile devices and Internet browser.

PC Invasion - FeedDDD Monday, August 8, 2022 6:45 PM  The new and beloved platform fighter MultiVersus is getting a barrage of fun announcements after EVO 2022, with new characters and updates coming to the game. One of these updates is a new MultiVersus arcade mode, joining the classic Ranked game mode and bolstering the platform fighter's content. During EVO 2022, Tony Huynh from Player First Games announced the forthcoming arcade mode as a part of the game's season one, which has been delayed. There's no release date officially set for MultiVersus Season One yet. But we're due to get a release date soon, which will also see the arrival of Rick and Morty. MultiVersus' arcade mode is expected to be similar to other arcade modes in the genre, featuring battles against AI-controlled opponents with varying difficulties. Arcade Mode is a staple for single-player content in fighting games, so this is a welcome addition to this free-to-play game. Free-to-play arcade action MultiVersus' first season w... |
PC Invasion - FeedDDD Monday, August 8, 2022 6:15 PM  It's a delayed game double feature today on PC Invasion, friends. On this fine Monday, we have learned that both ARC Raiders and Marvel's Midnight Suns have been delayed. This isn't the first time for the latter, which was pushed out of its March release window into the latter half of 2022. Now, it appears Midnight Suns may join ARC Raiders for a 2023 release date. However, the fate of Midnight Suns isn't all that clear just yet. Leaving behind it's latest release date of October 7 behind, developer Firaxis and publisher 2K haven't provided a new launch date. In a message on Twitter, the development team reports the game will now land "later this fiscal year" for PC. For those unaware, this current fiscal year ends next March. In all likelihood, the hazy release window suggests the game won't see the light of day until early next year. With Midnight Suns delayed for a second time now, we'll keep our fingers crossed. ... |
PC Invasion - FeedDDD Monday, August 8, 2022 5:45 PM  Laminar Research is getting ready to soon go gears up with the release of the long-awaited X-Plane 12. To tide things over and give newcomers a reason to look forward to the upcoming simulator, it's decided to introduce a limited time, half-off sale for the digital version of X-Plane 11. According to the Steam listing for X-Plane 11, this discount will last until August 19. Originally released in 2017, X-Plane 11 continued the long-running franchise by bringing advancements with its virtual world, weather engine, aircraft simulation and sophisticated modeling. It made a name for itself with a number of complex add-ons that some simmers feel best represent "study-level" content. Essentially, the aircraft in X-Plane 11 is advanced enough to be used for some soft training purposes. One more victory lap X-Plane 11 was outfitted a few years ago with support for Vulkan/Metal, which brought with it some improvements to its graphics engine. Utilities like ReShade ca... |
PC Invasion - FeedDDD Monday, August 8, 2022 3:00 PM  During the weekend, the annual fighting game tournament EVO returned as a live, in-person event for the first time since 2019. EVO 2022 crowned many new champions since Saturday. It also brought some news on current and upcoming titles. EVO 2022 featured a plethora of new announcements, ranging from a Tekken 8 tease to rollback netcode for Dragon Ball FighterZ. And that's just the start.

Rollback Netcode for Dragon Ball FighterZ and Samurai Shodown If you ask anyone in the FGC what kind of netcode is needed for fighting games, they'll likely shout "rollback."

PC Invasion - FeedDDD Monday, August 8, 2022 2:45 PM  [Update: August 8 @ 2:45 PM ET]: Last week, Polygon confirmed that Activision has removed the Loyal Samoyed — Floof Fury — skin from Warzone and Vanguard. In a message to Polygon, Activision stated that it 'regrettably we erred in our process' and apologized. The original story, posted on August 1, is as follows. Most battle royale games have in-game stores that allow you to purchase items and customize your profile or weapons. In Call of Duty multiplayer and Warzone, you can purchase bundles containing operator skins, weapon blueprints, calling cards, emblems, and much more. Call of Duty has even featured crossovers with franchises such as Godzilla vs King Kong and an upcoming Terminator crossover. With Season Four Reloaded, even more skins were revealed, but one has caused some controversy. The Floof Fury skin is under fire, as an artist has accused Activision of plagiarizing their work. The artist known as Saillin first posted the concept skin to ArtStation b... |
