PCGamesN Thursday, September 8, 2022 7:25 AM  What is the GTA podium car this week? GTA Online vehicles are expensive things, so we're happy to take a spin on the Diamond Casino's Lucky Wheel to get a discount. Winning isn't guaranteed, sure, but it isn't out of the question either. Look, we don't have a problem - leave it alone. Finding out what the GTA Online podium car is simple enough - it's winning it that's the challenge. You can spin the Diamond Casino's Lucky Wheel once a day, and each Podium Car refreshes after seven days on a Thursday. Basically, you have seven shots to get the vehicle of that given week. If you own a Penthouse, you can spin it for free, but if you don't it's $500 a spin. Don't fret if you don't win, as you can try for something else. You have a one in 20 chance of getting the podium vehicle, a car discount, or a mystery prize. There's a four in 20 chance of getting clothes, chips, and cash. Finally, there's a five in 20 chance of getting RP. On that note, here's everything you need to know about this week's GTA podium car. RELATED LINKS: GTA 5 mods, GTA 6, Buy GTA V |

PCGamesN Thursday, September 8, 2022 6:57 AM  Unlike Goku in Dragon Ball, you don't have to train with Master Roshi to get the Fortnite Kamehameha. Instead, like most weapons in the popular battle royale game, you need to pick up an item to use this incredible technique. Once you do, you'll have an incredibly powerful, albeit rather sluggish, beam attack at your disposal. Upon picking up a Fortnite Kamehameha item, you'll be able to unleash a burst of energy up to three times. Firing the weapon launches you into the air and blasts all objects and enemies in the area. The Kamehameha does 100 damage on impact and 40 damage every second (for a total duration of three seconds) to targets inside its blast. After firing off a beam, you will need to wait 15 seconds for it to recharge. It's possible to clash with Kamehameha waves to avoid damage, though your timing needs to be perfect. The Nimbus is a reusable tool that launches you into the air before slowly floating down to the ground. You have to wait to use the same Nimbus cloud for 20 seconds, but it will never run out.

PCGamesN Thursday, September 8, 2022 6:51 AM  Blizzard has disabled character creation and incoming transfers for busy WoW Classic realms in an attempt to mitigate lengthy WoW Wrath of the Lich King Classic queues, and says that the servers for these US and EU mega-realms "will remain locked indefinitely." In addition, players lining up for what is often considered one of the best MMORPG expansions are being encouraged to take free character transfers away from the over-populated servers to quieter realms, with Blizzard emphasising that "we need more folks to move." "We'll start with the easiest and most clear-cut statement to make," WoW Classic game producer Aggrend explains in a lengthy post on the Blizzard forums, "The mega-realms in US and EU that are queueing are completely full." They continue, stating that "there is no additional capacity we can add to these realms to allow more players on, or to reduce queues." In addition, Aggrend says that layers - used to create additional instances of a busy zone to mitigate overpopulation - don't resolve the core issue of realm capacity, which is dictated by how many connections the server can handle at once. Aggrend states that Blizzard "cannot increase capacity any more without inviting additional and likely cascading failures to the service. At present, the best and only way to resolve this issue for the impacted realms is for people to leave the realm via free transfers." They emphasise that, if anything, the problem will only get worse when the WoW Wrath of the Lich King Classic release date arrives on September 26.

PCGamesN Thursday, September 8, 2022 5:43 AM  Struggling to track down the Tower of Fantasy Voyager vehicle parts? There are plenty of ways to traverse the expansive Tower of Fantasy map, but to do so entirely on foot will take you quite some time. Thankfully, Hotta Studio's anime game offers a wide variety of Tower of Fantasy vehicles that you can use to reach your chosen destination, from a mechanical bird to a giant blue cube. One such vehicle is the Voyager, a retrofuturistic car that resembles the bonnet of an NYC taxi with rocket engines strapped to the back of it. Yes, it is exactly as cool as it sounds. The Voyager is guaranteed to set you apart from the crowd during racing competitions and other Tower of Fantasy events, but be warned: it takes some effort to look this flashy. Like most of the vehicles in the free PC game, the Tower of Fantasy Voyager vehicle parts are scattered across the map, and they must be retrieved before you can access the Voyager from the vehicles menu. In this guide, we'll be including the coordinates of each part's location, along with the hoops you need to jump through in order to take them for yourself.

PCGamesN Thursday, September 8, 2022 6:26 AM  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.

PCGamesN Thursday, September 8, 2022 6:32 AM  The upcoming Nvidia RTX 4080 – or RTX 5080 if the company skips ahead – could be the best graphics card money can buy, especially if you find the potential price of the RTX 4090 offputting. While it won't be top in terms of spec, the RTX 3080 successor should still offer enthusiast levels of performance that stretch beyond the boundaries of mid-tier options. Grabbing an RTX 4080 graphics card might not be too difficult later this year, after the crypto bubble burst and both GPU and CPU shortages are coming to an end. Nvidia even reportedly spent $10 billion securing RTX 4000 series components to ensure it won't fall behind demand, although it might be kicking itself now that it's stuck with copious amounts of RTX 4000 chips. Chip politics and manufacturing mumbo-jumbo aside, you're probably eager to learn more about Nvidia's next-gen graphics card. To help shallow the waters of the speculation sea, we've gathered everything we know so far about RTX 4090 release date rumours, potential price, possible specs, and what it could benchmark at.

Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Thursday, September 8, 2022 7:12 AM  I keep thinking about Roadwarden like a tourist city that I visited for not quite long enough. Sure, I saw the main sights and had a great time soaking in the ambiance, but I know that I missed so many hidden gems. I want to go back and explore, maybe this time with a local guide who knows its secrets. At its most basic, Roadwarden is a text-based RPG. You play as the titular roadwarden, who sets out from the city to investigate an unmapped peninsula with little more than their horse for company. Your goal as set by the people who sent you is to investigate the region and report your findings in preparation for the expansion of trade guilds in the area. But you can also set your own goal, shaping your character's approach from the start in a way that helps with roleplaying a particular kind of adventurer throughout. And once you get to that adventuring, dozens of sidequests open up covering everything from gathering fruit to curing the plague. |

Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Thursday, September 8, 2022 5:48 AM  Every corner of Skyrim houses a locked chest, but where are all the keys? Only a handful actually have keys to open them. So do the chest's owners lockpick them every time they want an apple or knife? Are these chests merely decorative, their contents deemed inaccessible and long forgotten? A new mod for Skyrim Special Edition answers this playfully by adding a load of hidden keys to unlock these chests. Some of the keys look quite well hidden in this object hunt, so you'll need to poke around, rummage, and turn things over. |
Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Thursday, September 8, 2022 5:00 AM  When we last saw Amicia and Hugo de Rune at the end of A Plague Tale: Innocence back in 2019, things were looking up for the orphaned rat wranglers. They'd escaped the clutches of the French Inquisition and the hordes of plague rats following in their wake, and the pair were hopeful about finding a cure for the cursed macula flowing through Hugo's veins. Alas, when I pick up their journey in chapter six of Asobo's upcoming sequel, A Plague Tale: Requiem, Amicia is having a particularly terrible time of it. Not only is she suffering from an open head wound, leaving her unsteady on her feet, but rumours are flying in the nearby pilgrim camp about something bad having gone down in the last city they passed through. Exactly what is hard to say with five chapters' worth of context missing from my preview build, but the pack of guards who are hot on the siblings' trail quickly make it plain: several men died back in that city, and they're pointing the finger squarely at Amicia's knife, slingshot and crossbow. |

Nintendo revealed that in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, trainers will be able to use the 'Let's Go' feature to engage in auto-battle. When you use 'Let's Go,' you send your buddy Pokemon off in a direction you point at. Not only will your Pokemon collect items on the way, but they will also attack Pokemon they encounter in the wild. https://twitter.com/poke_times/status/1567501189100494851 Because you send out your buddy, you will only be able to have one auto-battle at the time. Exploring an area while five of your Pokemon are off on a rampage will not be possible. It is unclear if your Pokemon will deplete their PP when they auto-battle, and what happens when they faint. They'll still earn EXP, as well as obtain items if they defeat their opponent in auto-battle. However, Nintendo has not said if this EXP will be shared or not. Aside from news about the 'Let's Go' function and auto-battle, Nintendo released a story trailer for Pokemon Scarlet and Violet as well. In this game, players will be able to play through three different stories. The story of Victory Road is the same gym challenge formula from previous games, whereas on the Path of Legends, you help Arven look for rare ingredients. Finally, on Starfall Street, you fight against Team Star, which is a group of delinquents. Pokemon Scarlet and Violet will come out on the Nintendo Switch on November 18, 2022. The post Auto-Battle With Let's Go in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet appeared first on Siliconera. |
PC Invasion - FeedDDD Thursday, September 8, 2022 12:53 AM  One thing that has persistently bothered me is that almost all Animal Crossing-style games on PC take "be like Animal Crossing" a bit too literally for my tastes. I really don't like the camera system of the series or the "play a tiny bit every day" philosophy. Disney Dreamlight Valley is a free-to-play game (at least, it will be next year) that's basically "Animal Crossing but with Disney characters." It just entered Early Access and is currently a paid title, costing $30 USD. After six months or so, the game will enter full release and become free. It already features a good amount of content but the question stands: is Disney Dreamlight Valley worth it in Early Access? The setup is pretty cute. Your character has somehow arrived in Dreamlight Valley, a little town where some Disney characters live. The Valley's ruler went missing after The Forgetting occurred, which also caused Night Thorns to grow all over the place. These... |
