The new horror game from Nun Massacre and Murder House developer Puppet Combo, titled Deadly Night, has launched on Steam, and it's inspired by 80s slasher movies, PS1 horror games like Silent Hill, and run-and-hide stealth hits like Outlast and Amnesia: The Dark Descent.

     Genshin Impact Nilou banner release date speculation

From datamined information, we are expecting a Genshin Impact Nilou banner with the release of the next update, 3.1. Now the Genshin Impact 3.0 release date has been and gone, dataminers are already gathering information about the anime game's next update, including new characters, weapons, and more.

One of the new characters believed to be coming with Genshin Impact 3.1 is Nilou, a sword-wielding Hydro user. Confirmed by Hoyoverse in a tweet, Nilou is every bit the graceful performer, officially titled Dance of Lotuslight. Everything else we know about Nilou - like her abilities, ascension, and artifacts - comes from datamined information on Honey Hunter World, so is susceptible to change before the official update release.

     Minecraft interface survey suggests future changes to the UI

The Minecraft interface is, most likely, not something you really think about. Oftentimes with games, especially ones that have been around as long as this primo sandbox game, people just accept that a user interface is how it is, but that could all be changing soon.

     Nvidia RTX 4000 – release date, price, specs, and benchmark rumours

Nvidia RTX 4000 graphics cards will likely replace current-gen GeForce RTX 3000 GPUs later this year, and more information about the coveted components is emerging by the day as we get closer to launch. To help you navigate the convoluted waters of leaks and rumours, we've compiled everything we know so far about team green's next-generation pixel pushers.

We expect that RTX 4000 will be available in three form factors: desktop GPUs, laptop graphics cards, and as part of the Nvidia GeForce Now streaming service. Each will probably release at different points, but they should all benefit from technologies like Nvidia DLSS and Nvidia Reflex.

As much as RTX 4000 GPUs will undoubtedly offer a high level of performance, these next-generation graphics cards may face stiff competition from the likes of AMD RDNA 3 and Intel Arc Alchemist. Thankfully, we shouldn't have to wait much longer to find out how the RTX 4090, RTX 4080, RTX 4070, and RTX 4060 stack up against their rivals.

     FromSoftware homage Lies of P isn't just Bloodborne, it's Sekiro too

You've seen the comparisons before, but it's impossible to deny there's more than a likeness between Lies of P and FromSoftware bangers like Bloodborne and Sekiro. There's the obvious stuff like the perspective, UI, lock-on effect, weighty melee combat, 'you died' style death screen, parrying, and dingy urban world, but that barely scratches the surface.

The pace of exploration is classic FromSoftware. Turn down a dimly lit street and you'll spot an apparently dead soldier at the end. As you approach a dog appears from behind a carriage, snarling with its first few paces towards you. Just as you begin trading blows with the hound you hear another soldier coming from where you entered the alleyway, and as you turn you notice the soldier that was prone at the end of the alley is now on its feet and shambling your way. Figuring out the best order, attack patterns, and counters for this trio takes a few attempts, and it takes a few more runs before I can squeeze past with enough health to make subsequent fights worth attempting.

     Fortnite Spider-Gwen skin from Into the Spider-Verse set for season 4

It's not even close to the first time we've seen a Spider-Man crossover in the game, but it's possibly the most exciting one due to how cool Spider-Gwen is.

     Diablo Immortal whales face massive orb debt after third-party refunds

Many Diablo Immortal whales - players who have spent hundreds or thousands of dollars in Blizzard's fantasy game - are finding themselves left with massive in-game 'debt' after purchases made through third-party websites are revoked. Diablo Immortal's Eternal Orbs are one of the primary currencies in the RPG game, are bought with real money, and can then be spent on various purchases in the in-game store on cosmetic items, the Diablo Immortal legendary crests used to get legendary gems from the Elder Rifts, and reforge stones used to reroll equipment bonuses.

Purchasing Eternal Orbs can cost anywhere from $0.99 USD / £0.89 GBP for just 60 up to the most expensive bundle, which offers 7200 Eternal Orbs for $99.99 USD / £89.99 GBP. For context, eternal legendary crests will set you back 160 Eternal Orbs per crest, while cosmetics tend to run between 1,000 and 1,650 Eternal Orbs depending on their category. As a result, some players say they have turned to third-party sellers offering cheap deals on orbs, with some quoting deals offering the 7200 orb bundle for prices ranging from $10-50 USD.

It appears that time has been called on many players who took advantage of these deals, however. Multiple threads on the game's subreddit are reporting that huge numbers of players who purchased Eternal Orbs through third party sellers are now finding their accounts displaying a negative orb value when logging into the game. This typically happens when a user has refunded their in-game purchases, such as through a storefront like Apple's App Store or the Google Play Store or through their payment provider.

     The best multiplayer games on PC in 2022

So you want to know about the best multiplayer games? Intricate gameplay and glistening visuals only go so far; it's humans that provide the surprises, the schemes that transform the average FPS game or co-op game into that one experience you'll be talking about until the end of time.

Fast and frantic or tense and calculated, the best multiplayer games come in all shapes and sizes. Whether it's as a healer or a DPS in Overwatch, or fighting for survival in Valheim with your friends, these games wouldn't be the same without a bunch of real people running around killing, maiming or, occasionally, helping each other.

     Valorant ranks order, distribution, and ranking system explained

Want to know about Valorant ranks and how the ranking system works? Like all competitive FPS games, Riot's Valorant has an ascending ladder of titles to sort the player base by ability. Whether you're starting out as a lowly Iron or maintaining your dominance as a mighty Immortal, if you play Valorant competitively your life is governed by the ranking system.

Valorant has a couple of different ways it measures ranking progress and the overall rating of players against each other. Each player has an overall Valorant rank, but there's also a dedicated 'Act rank' for each act. On top of that, there's also a concept called 'rank rating', which is connected to MMR. Here is everything you need to know about Valorant ranks, the current rank distribution, and competitive play.

     How much have I spent on League of Legends?

Want to know 'How much have I spent on League of Legends?' Riot Games' hugely successful MOBA is a free PC game, but if you ask any avid fan if that's the case, you'll no doubt receive a wry laugh in response. The 160-strong champion pool is diverse and wonderful; each character can be purchased with currency earned while playing. The premium cosmetics, however, are bought with real-world money.

These cosmetics - skins, mainly - can be purchased directly using something called RP, purchasable in bulk using your hard-earned cash. These skins change the base look of the character you're playing, with premium cosmetics adding completely new effects, voice lines, and animations. There's also a battle pass that can be bought using RP, this rewards you the more you play, so may seem like the most efficient way to spend your money. This guide will give you the information needed to find out exactly how much you've spent in League of Legends.

Many archival and emulation projects are underway to preserve the wonderful history of Flash games, and best of all are those which try to recreate the original experience: just clicking a link then playing a game inside your browser. Now one unofficial Flash Player emulator is adding support for more classic games, ones made in the (relatively) newfangled ActionScript 3 language. So you can party like it's 2008 by heading over to Newgrounds and playing You Have To Burn The Rope again, as well as Wonderputt and a handful of others.

Inti Creates have earned themselves a reputation in recent years, through titles like Blaster Master Zero and the Azure Striker Gunvolt series, of creating visually-intricate and technical 2D platformers. Their games scratch the nostalgic itch while not reverting to the technical problems and gameplay hurdles that we've long since moved beyond. Part of what makes Gunvolt appealing is that it refines and expands upon a formula we see in the Mega Man X series, and it's a similar intent that defines the company's approach to their latest project, Grim Guardians: Demon Purge.

And if there's one thing about Halo that you don't mess with then it would seem that's couch co-op.

I rather like the blue highlights to the assassin's robes in this one.

As indie developers from Japan and around the world descended upon the former Japanese capital of Kyoto for Bitsummit 2022, some developers present at the event were showcasing their games a little closer to home. Having already been hyped up amongst Japanese games outlets for its unique visuals and inspirations from Japanese yokai and folk tales, Kitsune: The Journey Of Adashino was a rather hot ticket at the event, and with an English localisation and a release in 2023 or 2024 planned, it stands with the opportunity to shine a light on the Japanese indie gaming scene.

While it may perhaps be reductive to make a Studio Ghibli comparison to the game's opening moments, the familiarity many have with those films compared to Japanese folklore makes the equivalence an easy one. My time with the demo was from a moment early in the game, when you've already set foot into this new world but don't have much knowledge about the yokai-infested supernatural surprises that await you.

mob psycho iii 100 ritsu

Warner Bros. Japan has released a character trailer for Ritsu Kageyama as he will appear in Mob Psycho III. It will continue to release new trailers on a weekly basis leading up to the October 5, 2022 debut of the new season. At just under a minute long, Ritsu's trailer focuses on his past character arc and complex regarding his brother.

Because of this, the trailer contains spoilers for the first two seasons of Mob Psycho 100. Please be warned.

You can watch the Ritsu trailer for Mob Psycho 100 III below.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6KNzFRZ7-Sk

Ritsu is the younger brother of protagonist Mob (real name: Shigeo Kageyama). As one can see from the number of times that Ritsu calls out to his brother in the trailer, Mob is a major part of Ritsu's life and character arc. While Mob has natural talents as a psychic, Ritsu was born 'normal.' However, he continued to support Mob throughout their youth, and Mob is very proud of how smart and talented Ritsu is.

Miyu Irino will reprise his role as Ritsu for Mob Psycho 100 III. Irino is known for roles such as Sora and Vanitas from the Kingdom Hearts franchise, Saji Crossroad from Mobile Suit Gundam 00, and Todomatsu from Osomatsu-san. Prior to the Ritsu trailer, Warner Bros. Japan released a video showcasing Teruki "Teru" Hanazawa.

Mob Psycho 100 III will start airing in Japan on October 5, 2022, and it will simulcast on Crunchyroll.

The post Mob Psycho 100 III Ritsu Trailer Shows His Brother Complex appeared first on Siliconera.
