PCGamesN Wednesday, November 9, 2022 7:39 AM  We're not short of Valorant skins since the inventory is massive, but unlike its competitors, in-game cosmetics aren't always available in the shop. Riot's FPS game has a small store that features only four skins at a time that swap every day. So, players must always have money stacked to buy their favorite skin in case it appears in random rotation. It's a fun system, but it no longer works for Valorant, according to the players.

PCGamesN Wednesday, November 9, 2022 6:12 AM  If you're concerned about your internet privacy, then it makes sense that you'd seek out the most private VPN services. Why should every villainous government and massive corporation know everything you've been searching for and doing on the internet? By using one of the most private VPN services, you can ensure that your internet activities genuinely remain completely private. Even though you probably aren't doing anything wrong online, it still doesn't feel good to know that the algorithms are determining your marital status, your health conditions, your income, and everything else about you, based on shopping habits and search histories. It's not exactly easy to quantify the different levels of privacy that each VPN provides, but we have our personal recommendation for the most private VPN, and that's Ivacy VPN. We'll get into the benefits of Ivacy VPN below, and we've also chosen three the best VPN providers (some of them even fairly cheap VPN options) whose services give you an especially high level of privacy, with an ample selection of servers, and a kill switch in place so your privacy is protected if the VPN goes down for even a second.

Street Fighter 6 will feature two control schemes. One is a traditional setup, and another is a "modern" control scheme that simplifies inputs into something not unlike the Smash Bros. games. There is, however, a third way to play. A new preview by Game Informer revealed the Street Fighter 6 Dynamic Controls designed to help "button mashers." Button mashers are players that tend to just press buttons randomly or repeatedly, rather than executing the complex inputs that fighting game moves typically demand. The Street Fighter 6 Dynamic Controls scheme simplifies inputs even further. It effectively turns on an AI-assisted "auto attack" mode mapped to the face buttons. In a demonstration, Director Takayuki Nakayama and Producer Shuhei Matsumoto explained their reasoning for implementing Dynamic Controls in the game. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vkRXTVd51dE According to Nakayama, the team noticed that button-mashing in most fighting games just results in a lot of missed attacks. They wanted to try creating a system where players could see something useful happen when they pressed buttons. The Street Fighter 6 Dynamic Controls system uses the AI to execute attacks based on the context of the fight. Pressing a button with a character in close range might have them whip out a combo, but at further range, the same button might throw a projectile. In the demonstration, Matsumoto used only a single hand tapping face buttons on the controller to defeat Nakayama, who used the Classic controls. The Dynamic Controls, however, are specifically not for competitive use. Unlike the Modern scheme, which is intended as a viable and balanced alternative, Street Fighter 6 players can't use Dynamic Controls in online matches. They're exclusive to the local Arcade and Versus modes. In essence, they're the scheme designed to help players that don't play fighting games have fun with Street Fighter 6. Street Fighter 6 launches in 2023 on PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. The post Street Fighter 6 Dynamic Controls are for Local Play Only appeared first on Siliconera. |

A new Disgaea 7 trailer arrived, and it detailed the game's key features with the help of a Disgaea 7 Prinny. Called Pii-chan (or "P-chan"), the Prinny in question is secretary to Piririka, one of the main characters. The new trailer discussed the game's premise, as well as detailed key systems and teased a few new characters. Check it out below. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yqboPfcIO6M As mentioned in other updates about the game, the Disgaea 7 Prinny Pi-chan-led trailer introduced the Hinomoto Netherworld. This is a land closely resembling Japan and made up of various unique Netherworld dimensions. Hinomoto has been subjugated by the Demon Admiral Opener, who robbed the land of its "Bushido" under pain of death. Now a young man named Fuji, who hates Bushido, and Piririka, who admires Bushido, must team up to restore the land. The Disgaea 7 Prinny Pi-chan trailer reintroduced various Disgaea systems, including the game's penchant for big numbers and the super-sizing Dodeka Max system. The recruiting and development of generic characters and random item dungeons were also shown off. The ability to automate parts of the dungeon grind through AI-based auto-play configuration is also detailed, along with asynchronous, AI-driven PVP matches. The Prinny trailer introduced a number of new Disgaea 7 named characters too, who are detailed on the official website. Note that these name localizations are unofficial.
Ao is an icy girl that sees Fuji as a parent, calling him "Father." She acts like Fuji's child, but is cold and merciless to all others besides.
Weyas is a general of the Shogunate and a certified layabout. Rather than war, he'd rather party with young geisha all day and night. Though rather useless in battle, he does have enough talent to be selected as one of the "Seven Strikes" of the Tokugawa Tengen school.
Cee-Fohr (or "C4") is a gunpowder enthusiast making waves in the Hinomoto Netherworld for her mastery of fire and explosions. Her mild personality changes considerably in the presence of such materials, though. She also seems to collecting the Makai Shinki tools for her research.
Suisen has a mechanical body and is Bakufu's "Predictive Magistrate." He uses his computational abilities to predict the future, which gives him an edge in battle. Despite his seemingly robotic personality, he does occasionally revert to the more boyish mode his appearance would suggest.
Higan Zesshousai earned her name by becoming Hinomoto's strongest swordsman. The problem is that she's so strong she can't actually use a sword properly (she's learning the spear, now). She can teach, though, and taught Fuji swordsmanship. Disgaea 7 launches on the PS4, PS5, and Nintendo Switch in Japan on January 26, 2023. International release plans have not yet been announced. The post Disgaea 7's Prinny Pii-chan Lays Out the Game's Basics appeared first on Siliconera. |

TinyBuild pixel artist Thomas Feichtmeir shared a screenshot of a 2D pixel art Dark Souls 3 Metroidvania game pitched to Bandai Namco six years ago. Obviously, the game never made it to the markets. Since the NDA has ended, Feichtmeir shared visuals of the game online. Here's the tweet.
The screenshot Feichtmeir shared shows the Ashen One dodging a strike from the Dancer of the Boreal Valley. There are some minor differences between the 2D version and the actual 3D version that launched in terms of the UI. The placement of the item menu, for example, is in the top right corner instead of the bottom left. According to a follow-up tweet from Feichtmeir, the artist noted that FromSoftware was likely not part of this project. This is because the IP belongs to Bandai Namco. It is unknown as to why Bandai Namco never followed through with this project. Feichtmeir mentioned not knowing the reason. In an additional tweet, Feichtmeir said, "...I just created the art for the pitch." Dark Souls 3 came out in 2016 and it is the final game in the Dark Souls series. Thomas Feichtmeir is a pixel art consultant and artist who has previously worked on games such as Songs of Conquest and Blasphemous. Dark Souls 3 is readily available on PS4, Xbox One, and Windows PC. The post A 2D Dark Souls 3 Metroidvania was Pitched to Bandai Namco appeared first on Siliconera. |
PC Invasion - FeedDDD Wednesday, November 9, 2022 2:11 AM  Sonic Frontiers being locked to 60 fps on PC was a bit of an unwelcome surprise. Then again, there are still a fair amount of Japanese games that fit that mold. But not only is there a fairly easy way to get around this, but the game runs splendidly at higher framerates without requiring any ridiculous hardware. If you're inclined to uncap the framerate in Sonic Frontiers and get a big boost to your fps, you'll need to download a couple of things, one of which requires an installation. But it's a program you may already have installed. Here's how to get the game running at the speed of sound. First, you're going to need to download Cheat Engine. All you need to do is follow the link and install it, but watch out for the other things it wants to put on your machine with the installer. You can decline or skip these, but just don't randomly accept everything when you're going through. Now download the cheat table created by modder and Steam user... |
