     Sims 5 release date speculation and wishlist

Wondering if there will ever be a The Sims 5 release date? Well, we're not certain it'll be called The Sims 5, but EA has officially unveiled its next Sims game, and for now, it's called Project Rene.

We've been playing The Sims 4 for eight years now, and while the life sim is kept fresh by Sims 4 cheats, CC packs and even sex mods, we're desperate to see a brand-new addition to the series. While Electronic Arts has kept painfully schtum about a new Sims game, we finally have something resembling a Sims 5 release date following the reveal of Project Rene, which is effectively a super early access version of its next Sims experience.

     FIFA 23 Prime Gaming rewards and how to claim them

FIFA 23 Prime Gaming rewards are an excellent way of adding free, high-rated players to your club in the football game. Previously known as Twitch Prime, the Prime Gaming pack is a benefit of being an Amazon Prime member and is available once every month once you've linked your accounts.

The Prime Gaming pack will generally consist of a loan, several rare players, and a few player picks. The packs refresh every month and usually coincide with a promo like FIFA 23 Rulebreakers, so it gives you a great chance at adding a special player to your team. The steps you need to take to get this pack can be a little confusing, so here is what the rewards are, and most importantly, how you can claim them.

     Gotham Knights review – a bloated RPG with a Batman Arkham story

I couldn't wait to get my hands on the Gotham Knights review as an avid Batman Arkham series fan, but Warner Bros Montreal endlessly throws gameplay mechanics at the wall to see what sticks, making it feel like the open-world RPG version of Frankenstein's Monster. Rather than distilling what makes Rocksteady's Arkham series so popular, it believes that bigger is better. The result is a bloated game, but one in which a colourful cast of characters tell an engaging story that's worthy of its predecessors.

     Sims 4 CC guide and how to install custom content

In case you're unsure, Sims 4 CC, or custom content, is just one of the ways you can add even more individuality to your Sim and their environment. While the base game and official packs provide a lot of customisation options to the classic simulation game, there's always room and a demand for more - as demonstrated by the massive Sims 4 modding community over the last decade.

We're several years into the Sims 4's life cycle and the Sims 4 CC community has plugged an awful lot of content gaps. There are thousands of Sims 4 mods and CC packs to tweak how your Sims look, what furniture you can cram into their homes, and even alter what recipes, activities, and lifestyles are available. If you're looking to use some of them to shake up your Sims experience eight years in, keep reading for help with installing Sims 4 CC.

     The cheapest 85 rated players in FIFA 23

Knowing the cheapest 85 rated players in FIFA 23 can help you in a few ways, as not only are they great at completing SBCs with high squad rating requirements, but a lot of these players are excellent at what they do, and will still fit perfectly into your team at this stage of the football game.

Having a bunch of these 85 rated players in your club is a guaranteed way you can complete any SBC that comes your way. The Rulebreakers player Romain Faivre, for example, was an SBC which required two players rated 85 or over. Picking up these bargains ahead of time will save you from overspending when a player comes along that you really want.

     The best Minecraft servers 2022

What are the best Minecraft servers? Multiplayer servers make the world go round. Or, at least, the worlds of Minecraft. It is no secret that the PC community boasts the most ambitious players in the world, and there is no better evidence of this in action than our best Minecraft server list. The architectural artist's paradise, Minecraft has been a great creative outlet for players who can build to their heart's content, all without knowing a single line of code.

Their works and ideas are immortalised in the best Minecraft servers. Every server is its own self-contained multiplayer world, with its own rules, gameplay style, and communities. We've had a hunt around to find the very best, featuring anything from breathtaking constructions and vistas to worlds with whole new rules and game modes.

One thing to keep in mind is that different servers can sometimes use older versions of Minecraft. Plenty of servers have updated to the current 1.19 patch, but many other popular servers are sticking to older versions of the game for now. Make sure you check each server before jumping in to ensure you know what to expect and how to get it all running as intended.

     Nvidia RTX 4080 – release date, price, specs, and benchmarks

The Nvidia RTX 4080 is now officially a thing, and could be the best graphics card money can buy. While it won't beat the flagship RTX 4090, the RTX 3080 successor should still offer enthusiast levels of performance that stretch beyond the boundaries of mid-tier options.

Originally, Nvidia announced two RTX 4080 graphics cards during its GTC keynote reveal. Since then, the green team has 'unlaunched' its lower-spec 12GB model, amid criticisms that it was merely an overclocked RTX 4070.

To help shallow Nvidia's sea of announced specs, we've gathered everything we know about RTX 4080 release date, price, specs, and benchmark rumours.

Valve have updated their Steamworks documentation for developers with a commitment to refresh their suggestions for regional pricing more often. This change in frequency is an effort to reflect global and local economic conditions affecting regions. While the company reminds developers that they are free to set their own prices in different regions, Steam provides regional pricing suggestions based on the price of a game in US dollars. Those recommendations should be updated more regularly, Valve said.

I watched a badminton match where one player was so dominant, his opponent looked like he'd largely given up. The commentator said, "Yep, the belief has all but vanished", as it panned over a guy who simply wanted to be anywhere but that court. At the time, I'd already sunk some hours into Gotham Knights and taken a quick break from the action to keep tabs on a tournament and collect my thoughts. But as I turned away from the telly to dive back in for another session, I couldn't help but think that if the same commentator had been in the room with me too, they would've repeated themselves. I'd simply had enough.

In every story where a wish is granted - whether by some primary-coloured goon sticking out a lamp, a creepy piece of fairground entertainment, or a piece of cursed bushmeat - there's always an ironical sting in the tale. You wish for health and it turns out you can't die. You wish for a personal chef, but it turns out he only does offal. You wish everything you touch to turn to gold, then it'll turn out there's no way to turn it off - or it kicks in just as you go to the toilet, that kind of thing. You should, as the saying goes, be careful what you wish for.

I'm sorry I wished for New Tales From the Borderlands, everyone.

As we reported earlier this week, alongside The Sims 4 officially becoming a free-to-play game, Maxis also gave a sneak peek of Project Rene, the next incarnation of the Sims franchise. We're all calling it The Sims 5, but the vagueness of the reveal means it could be some kind of... platform? MMO? And personally I think 4 being free-to-play means bets could be off on it being a new standalone. But what do I know? It's very early for Maxis to be showing it off, a point hammered home by VP of franchise creative Lyndsay Pearson as she talked about it. And the fact that it is so early makes it look even more like a bid to stop player eyes wandering over to newer pastures...

NEO TWEWY Steam

Square Enix has released the PC version of NEO TWEWY for Steam users. The company shadow-dropped the game with an additional 25% discount, which will last until October 26, 2022. The game launched as an Epic Games Store exclusive for PCs back in 2021. NEO TWEWY is now available on PCs via Steam and EGS, as well as Nintendo Switch, and PlayStation 4.

NEO: The World Ends With You initially launched for consoles in July 2021, and later arrived on PC via Epic Games Store in September. A sequel to the original The World Ends With You for the Nintendo DS, NEO TWEWY returns to an updated Tokyo to compete in the Reaper's Game. The sequel featured new characters with familiar but updated game mechanics. An anime adaptation of the original game also debuted in the same year.

https://twitter.com/SquareEnix/status/1582771575211687940?s=20&t=MlOFq2RU9E2j8zjz-aHDtQ

The unexpected shadow drop of NEO TWEWY comes after Square Enix revealed late last year that the game's sales had underperformed. Nearly half a year after the game's console release, NEO TWEWY producer Tomohiko Hirano also revealed that there were no plans for another installment in the series at the time, adding that it would depend on feedback and support from fans.

NEO TWEWY is now available on PC via Steam and Epic Games Store, as well as Nintendo Switch and PS4. As of writing, the Steam version is currently on sale at a 25% discount until October 26, 2022.

The post NEO TWEWY Gets an Unexpected Steam Release appeared first on Siliconera.
