PCGamesN Monday, December 12, 2022 11:41 AM  It might be a stretch to think about Apex Legends season 16, with Eclipse still in full swing, but we have a fair idea of when the next season will begin, and what the theme will be. As with any new Apex Legends season, we're usually guaranteed a new legend, a new map - or variation on a map - and a bunch of new cosmetics. Apex Legends season 15 Eclipse began on November 1, and with it came a new defensive legend, Catalyst, a new map, Broken Moon, and the ability to gift cosmetic items to your friends. It was a sizable update to the battle royale game, giving players plenty of content to sink their teeth into, but when can we expect the next season of Apex Legends?

Scattered across the Dragon Isles are Dragon Glyphs, special tokens which can be used to unlock dragonriding talents. Each Dragon Glyph increases your overall energy while riding, helping you travel faster and further than before. This guide highlights the location of all Dragon Glyphs and the most efficient path to collect them, though we have some handy tips before you get started. There are 48 Dragon Glyphs in total, 12 in each zone. All of them are available to collect immediately, and we recommend doing so at the earliest opportunity. When you're near a glyph in the MMO game, you should receive a buff called Dragon Glyph Resonance - highlight this icon while it's active to reveal how far away you are from a glyph. Additionally, the key to gaining altitude is to aim your camera straight up while using Skyward Ascent and level out before your speed drops. Finally, spend your dragonriding talent points immediately as this will help you find the rest of the glyphs faster.

PCGamesN Monday, December 12, 2022 11:17 AM  The best battle royale games come in all shapes and sizes, but they all revolve around one core idea: lots of players go in, and only one leaves. Battle royale is a violent, unpredictable, and frenzied multiplayer mode where the only goal is to endure until you're the sole survivor. All tactics and styles of play are equally viable in the best battle royale games. You can win by hiding in bushes and waiting for the herd to thin out, or scavenge a weapon and start reducing the numbers yourself. With the explosion of Fortnite, Warzone 2, and Apex Legends, you would be forgiven for thinking there are only three battle royales out there, but there are now numerous other contenders to challenge them, each with its own spin on the established formula. And with player counts fluctuating all over the place, it's important to know the most popular battle royale games so you can be sure to get a match. Whether you're after a battle royale FPS game like Warzone 2 or an inventive new twist on the formula, there's something out there for everyone.

PCGamesN Monday, December 12, 2022 10:39 AM  The best stealth games occupy a curious niche in PC gaming. Occasionally, the best stealth games are their own thing, a result of a developer channelling all of the mechanics of a game into the suspense and satisfaction of killing, stealing, and infiltrating unnoticed. Most of the time, though, stealth is just one of several ways you can navigate a game, as you consciously opt for the path of the shadowy rogue or incisive assassin over more forceful approaches.

PCGamesN Monday, December 12, 2022 11:06 AM  What are the best adventure games? From 1976's text-based Adventure – that gave the genre its name – through the point-and-click golden age of the '90s and up to more modern fare, few genres have endured quite so well as the adventure game. That multi-decade lifespan has produced some of the most astounding titles, so it is certainly a struggle to narrow down a list of the best adventure games. Adventure games have prospered thanks to a focus on story and character. That, and a few tricky brain teasers, as opposed to violence, set the genre apart. Characters usually get by through talking or thinking instead of resorting to fighting – though, Full Throttle protagonist Ben might have a few things to say about that.

PCGamesN Monday, December 12, 2022 7:41 AM  The best Minecraft seeds cater to a number of requirements, like strongholds near villages for speedrunning, beautiful landscapes for building, and great areas for looting. These seeds are codes that Minecraft uses to generate worlds for you, so even though new worlds are randomly generated, you can rebuild in the same ones over and over again. Your job is simple: pick the one you want to play around in, whether that's an ideal spawn location for gathering the best loot or exploring an idyllic landscape. In order to get the best Minecraft seeds up and running, grab the code and enter it into the seed field when creating a new Minecraft world. The game does all the heavy lifting, leaving you to survey your new surroundings to your heart's content. Regardless of whether you're a professional miner or someone about to load up their first world, there's something you can't control in the sandbox game: the terrain itself. So while your mind may be brimming with possibilities, all too frequently, you'll spawn in a bland, uninspiring world full of flat grassland and the odd chicken. Hardly the canvas for your masterpiece. Hence this collection of the best Minecraft seeds, from the inspiring to the functional and everything in between.

We've sorted through the clones and copies to pick out some of the best life games on PC. Some reward careful management and creativity.

Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Monday, December 12, 2022 11:53 AM  Synced is an upcoming free to play third-person looter shooter developed by NeXT Studios, and is Tencent's crack at a live-service game akin to The Division. It has roguelite bits to help it stand out a touch, with the ability to command your own shiny gem pal to bash enemies.

At The Game Awards 2022, Armored Core VI appeared. Now, it turns out Armored Core VI will feature Versus multiplayer, just like past games. IGN conducted an exclusive interview with FromSoftware's Masaru Yamamura. In it, he confirmed that people will be able to [Thanks, IGN!] There aren't a wealth of details about this additional mode yet. At the moment, Yamamura confirmed it will be present and an idea of its nature. However, he didn't elaborate yet. Here is the full statement Yamamura provided to IGN regarding Armored Core VI multiplayer.
In that same response, however, Yamamura emphasized that the story mode is the priority for Armored Core VI. As such, it will not offer multiplayer options. As a reminder, Armored Core V did offer some extensive multiplayer options. Part of that involved teams of 20 players facing off to defend and take territory. People could also be a mercenary and not be permanently tied to a particular team. Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon will come to the PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X, Xbox One, and PC via Steam in 2023. Prior to this, the last numbered installment was Armored Core V for the PS3 and Xbox 360 in 2012. The post Armored Core VI Versus Multiplayer Confirmed appeared first on Siliconera. |

Announced in 2022, One Piece Odyssey is a new spin on the beloved manga anime, opting for JRPG and pseudo-open world elements. I had the opportunity to try the game at a preview event, which gave me more than a few hours to sink my teeth into the game. While nothing about it felt revolutionary during that handful of hours, what I played made me interested in the full release. It could potentially lay the foundation for other One Piece RPGs moving forward. The game features an entirely new story set in the One Piece universe by series creator Eiichiro Oda. Luffy and crew get transported to a mysterious new island through an interdimensional portal, which promptly sees them stranded in this strange new place. I quickly acquired the crew I would be using throughout the preview, which was a fairly large amount of characters. This consisted of Luffy, Nami, Zoro, Usopp, Chopper, Nico Robin, and Sanji, though Franky also joined my party for a brief period of time. The preview was full of exposition, setting the stage for narrative events that would unfold within just an hour of gameplay.
This included an introduction to characters unique to One Piece Odyssey, like Lim, that wouldn't be out of place in the manga. However, outside of this introduction, the preview didn't allow me to get to know them in any greater capacity. Their story importance was paramount, as one such character serves as a deus ex machina of sorts that relieves Luffy and crew of their powers, so to speak. After the crew loses most of their abilities, I was introduced to the various systems that revolve around mysterious cubes that I would need to collect in order to regain my power. This included allocation of cubes to power up skills. (These could be refunded at any time, so it let me experiment and play around with certain builds.) It also afforded a peek at a Tetris-like accessory system. Everything is distributed and based around cubes, which includes equipment that you can arrange in a set square area to equip as many as possible. Combat is turn-based, but character types are important when tackling enemies. One Piece Odyssey functions on a color-based system that designates what "type" each character is. For example, Zoro is a "Green" character, which gives him an advantage over "Red" types. Nami and Usopp are "Orange" type characters, making them formidable against "Greens." It's a rock-paper-scissors kind of ordeal, or something you'd see in something like Fate/Grand Order. But where it differentiates itself is the ability to swap between party members on the fly to reposition your characters or move them up in turns to take advantage of their inherent type advantages. For example, when attacking a "Red" type enemy that would initially be delegated to Luffy (who is also a "Red" type). You can go into your menu and swap him out for Zoro or Nico Robin to deal more damage or to kill the enemy outright, since your characters are fairly strong. Making use of these type advantages made most battles trivial during the preview. That said, this level of strategic play did come in handy during longer encounters, during which I was swapping characters out and repositioning them to make the most out of their location on the battlefield to avoid damage or soak it up depending on their type.
For my preview I played on the PlayStation 5. The game looked great, with cel shading making it feel all the more immersive with regard to the environments and monsters. One Piece characters still have their grossly over-exaggerated expressions in cutscenes, which helped carry over the tone of the manga into this game. Even when characters were executing flashier attacks or if I was in areas with a large amount of NPCs, the game didn't seem to buckle under the weight of it all. I was able to explore the shores of the beach the crew washed up on and the desert city of Alabasta. Both looked great. From what I experienced of One Piece Odyssey, it could prove to be an interesting RPG and an enticing new adventure for long-time fans of the series. Despite its fairly simple combat system, due to its use of positioning and character types, it could potentially allow for some interesting strategic play. That said, One Piece Odyssey feels like it could be the start of a slew of other RPGs of a similar vein for the series. One Piece Odyssey will come to the PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X, and PC on January 12, 2023. The post Previews: One Piece Odyssey Feels Like the Start of Something Good appeared first on Siliconera. |

Ever since its initial launch in 2020, the playable cast of Genshin Impact characters has practically tripled in size. This means that it can be easy to forget some key details, such as their birthdays. Birthdays are usually an important affair for fans of that character, since there is an influx of official and fan-made art online. You can also get a letter and gifts (usually their signature dish and ascension materials) through the in-game mail. Here are all of the birthdays and star signs of the playable Genshin Impact characters as of the first phase of Version 3.2. January |

Developers choosing to do what "Nintendon't" has become something of a trend in recent years. If there's a franchise that the company has left dormant too long for fans, or if they simply want more of it than is available? Indies are happy to step in and cater to those cravings with spiritual successors. Melatonin, a new game from indie developer Half Asleep, takes on the Rhythm Heaven formula with its own sort of style. Melatonin tells the story of a bout of insomnia, as the player character works through a week of nights of challenging sleep. This manifests in the form of rhythm challenges, all about the stressors of modern life. These can be as mundane as "food," or as abstract as "the future." By iterating on the ideas of Rhythm Heaven, Melatonin is a great case study on what makes the formula work. It's about catchy visuals! It's about rhythm that lets you play the game with your eyes closed if you want! And Melatonin manages both of these admirably.
Where it falters a bit is in the energy and variety. Because of the sleepy theme, the tunes and visuals don't have a particular pop that helps Rhythm Heaven players better stick to the rhythm and know where they are in the level's pacing. And because the songs' tone and complexity stays relatively similar throughout, the combination challenges at the end of each night don't feel particularly special. Rhythm Heaven takes simpler approaches to individual stages, then blows out the mix for those special levels. And not only are Melatonin's tracks similar, they're also soothing. Which is sort of a problem! They occasionally fight against engagement with the gameplay, making us want to instead sit back, relax and listen. Melatonin is a more complex game in some ways, starting where Rhythm Heaven often ends and ramping up a bit from there. A simpler approach allows for a little less needed tutorialization, but Melatonin ends up needing to throw players into practice to pick up a few things before each new game. It also sometimes uses more buttons, by default the shoulders, to vary what it asks you to do. These particularly need a quick dip into practice to pick up. There's an optional training wheels setting to show these prompts as you play, but it disrupts the look and we can understand why it's off by default.
Speaking of that look: it's really quite well-executed. There's an approach here with a real point of view. It's meant to capture the experience of modern young adulthood, with concerns like money and dating serving as the basis for its rhythm games. The color palette sticks to a particular wedge of the wheel, centered around purple. This does mean particular levels don't stick out as visually memorable, but it does make for a cohesive whole. Melatonin has something of the opposite effect of, well, melatonin. It more closely replicates the experience of someone who, perhaps, might need some? Given the game's theme, it would have been nice to see an easier mode that's less white-knuckle and more about entering a flow state. The main shortcoming of Melatonin is sort of unavoidable: its length. You'll breeze through its 20 stages in a couple of hours! Hard Mode gives you another level of challenge to try, which could extend things a bit. And there's even a surprisingly robust editor built into the game that's also very easy to use. This would be a lot cooler if there were a few more building blocks to use! Instead, since you're limited to what the stage already had, there's not as much variety to creations as there really should be.
Is it fair to compare indie project Melatonin to the big-studio polish of Rhythm Heaven? Perhaps not. It doesn't quite reach those heights, but what it manages is well-executed. And, well, it's not exactly like we're getting flooded with games in the genre right now! So we'll appreciate the oasis in the desert. Melatonin, developed by Half Asleep, will launch on PC on December 15, 2022 for $14.99. It's slated for a Switch release soon after.

Mobile game Yakuza Online (aka Ryu ga Gotoku Online) is getting a crossover with anime series Psycho-Pass. The Yakuza Online x Psycho-Pass event is live in Japan, and runs through December 26, 2022. The crossover will see characters Akane Tsunemori, Shinya Kogami, and others from the show's cast. Players will also gain a new version of Yakuza: Like A Dragon star Ichiban Kasuga, this time dressed as an Enforcer from the show. Check out a teaser for the event below. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MqhUUT1HdbQ The Yakuza Online x Psycho-Pass event adds seven characters from the anime to the playable roster. All are KSR quality. Players who participate in the event will receive a copy of Akane Tsunemori's character card through daily login, with extra copies (for limit-breaking) available for meeting event goals. Accomplishing a raid-style quest against Shinya Kogami will reward points that can be redeemed for limited equipment and even existing SSR-quality characters. A Rescue-style quest will pit players against Psycho-Pass villain Shogo Makishima for more equipment. The crossover gacha banner will also feature Enforcer Ichiban Kasuga, who's dressed like a member of Psycho-Pass' Division One, complete with a Dominator handgun. Yakuza Online is a card-based free-to-play game starring characters from the Yakuza and Like A Dragon games. Its main story modes retell the sagas of Ichiban Kasuga and Kazuma Kiryu, as well as a spin-off story following the travels of Ryuji Goda. Psycho-Pass, meanwhile, takes place in a dystopian future Japan that's ruled by the Sibyl System, a totalitarian AI-led governing body that determines a person's occupation and social standing based on their biometric status. This status is summarized in a color-coded "Hue" that signals a person's potential for criminal action. The Public Safety Bureau employs "Inspectors" paired with "Enforcers" to arrest or execute criminals. The twist: Enforcers are themselves classified as "latent criminals". The Yakuza Online x Psycho-Pass crossover event runs through December 26, 2022. The game is available on iOS and Android devices, as well as PC in Japan.

The Battle Bus is coming to pick up the kids of U.A. High. Epic Games teased a coming crossover between Fortnite and My Hero Academia. The crossover begins on December 16, 2022. As with previous anime crossovers like Naruto and Dragon Ball, players can expect cosmetic skins and limited-time mechanics. The Fortnite x My Hero Academia crossover was also teased in the launch trailer for Fortnite Battle Royale Chapter 4 Season 1, which aired on December 4, 2022. The chapter continues the expanding meta-story of Fortnite as a whole. It also teased crossovers with a variety of popular properties, like Doom and The Witcher. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XXYxZySYeFU The end of Fortnite Chapter 3 saw the character The Paradigm rearranging the game's island yet again, adding new locations and remixing old ones. The launch trailer emphasizes the addition of agile motocross bikes, pilotable drones, and snow-based play mechanics. The Doom Slayer and Geralt of Rivia also appear. The trailer ends with a Fortnite rendition of My Hero Academia star Izuku "Deku" Midoriya jumping and delivering a powerful smash attack. He punches the air, sending out a shockwave that demolishes a castle tower while other players are still inside. The crossover renders Deku wearing his "Delta" costume variant. The Delta costume features long gauntlets to protect Deku's arms, capped by "Air Force" gloves that enable longer-range attacks. Leg supports and "Iron Sole" shoe accessories support Deku when he uses leg supports to brace Deku when he uses his kicking-oriented "Shoot Style" combat form. The Fortnite and My Hero Academia crossover begins on December 16, 2022. Fortnite is available on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and PC via the Epic Games Store. The anime series is currently in its 6th season, and is airing on various streaming services, including Crunchyroll and Netflix. The manga is published in English by Viz Media.

It seems that the Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster games are heading to the PS4 and Nintendo Switch. A new ratings leak appeared. This time, ratings appeared for FFI through FFVI for the PS4 and Switch via the ESRB website. None of the ratings specifically note Pixel Remaster in their title.

[Thanks, Cefaluu on Reddit!] First, here's a list of links to each potential Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster PS4 and Switch ESRB rating. Each one mentions it as a 2D game. They also all note the PC version. These remasters first appeared back in 2021. The series kicked off with Final Fantasy in July 2021. It ended when FFVI showed up in February 2022.

Final Fantasy VII Ever Crisis, Square Enix's compilation mobile game, is delayed. A video for the title appeared.

Hidenari Ugaki, the voice actor for Goro Majima in the Yakuza / Like A Dragon games, said that he hasn't been invited to record lines for the latest game in the series. At least, not yet. The reveal came via a comment aired as part of an episode of anime series Pop Team Epic .[Thanks, Famitsu!] For those who haven't seen it, Pop Team Epic is less a narrative-driven series and more of a variety show, featuring guest personalities doing voices and skits. Some skits are adapted from the original Pop Team Epic comic strip by Bkub Okawa, and others are original gags using everything from professional 2D animation to live-action segments parodying news programs. Each roughly 30-minute episode is divided into two almost identical 15-minute halves, using different voice actors and other differences between them. The back half of episode 11 featured Goro Majima voice actor Hidenari Ugaki and Takaya Kuroda, who plays Kazuma Kiryu in the Yakuza / Like A Dragon games. Following the episode, a special segment called Pop Tuber featuring the two ad-libbing their conversation was uploaded to the official Pop Team Epic YouTube channel. Check it out below. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EeDvMfsvk_s During the segment, Ugaki and Kuroda talk freely about various topics. Kuroda then mentions that he's recording for "the next game" in a series that they work on together, without mentioning it by name. The hint is telling, since Kuroda and Ugaki have only worked together as voice actors on Yakuza / Like A Dragon, where Ugaki is Majima's voice actor and Kuroda is Kiryu's voice actor. Ugaki reacts in surprise, saying he hasn't heard anything about recording for it starting. Momentary panic ensues, with Ugaki jokingly demanding the producers "come out here and answer." As for which game in the Like A Dragon series Kuroda is referring to, it could be Like A Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name, or Like A Dragon 8. Chronologically speaking, Like A Dragon Gaiden would be the next game in the pipeline, as its release window is set for 2023. Like A Dragon 8 is coming out in 2024. AIt wouldn't make sense for Ugaki to be surprised about Like A Dragon: Ishin!, since he already plays Souji Okita in that game. Like A Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name is out on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC in 2023. Like A Dragon 8 will be out for the same platforms in 2024. Like A Dragon: Ishin! has a February 2023 release window on the same platforms. The post Majima Voice Actor Not Yet Invited to Record for Like A Dragon appeared first on Siliconera. |

Layla is one of the newer characters in Genshin Impact, and thus not everyone might have had time to farm her ascension materials. She debuted in Version 3.2 and is not on pick-up in the current 3.3 banner. However, for those who got her before or accidentally got her now, here are the items that you will need in order to ascend this 4-star Cryo character. The majority of characters in Genshin Impact use Talent Books and ascension materials from their own region, and Layla is no different. As a character from Sumeru, you won't need to spend too much time running around for her. Here are the items you will need for each ascension: Ascension 1:
Ascension 2:
Ascension 3:
Ascension 4:
Ascension 5:
Ascension 6:
In total, you will need 420,000 Mora, 46 Perpetual Calibers, and 168 Nilotpala Lotuses. This is on top of the various gems and Scroll enemy drops. You can get Scrolls from Hilichurl Samachurls, which are literally everywhere in Teyvat. As for the Perpetual Calibers, you can get them from the Aeonblight Drake World Boss in Sumeru. You can get Nilotpala Lotuses in places like Lokapala Jungle, Devantaka Mountain, and Pardis Dhyai. Those who pulled for Tighnari earlier in Genshin Impact might already know where to get this ascension material for Layla. Even if you forgot, the Forest Watcher's passive Talent will help you (somewhat) to search for the Lotuses. For her Talents, she takes Ingenuity books, which you can find from the Steeple of Ignorance on Tuesdays, Fridays, and Sundays. Her Weekly Boss Drop is the Mirror of Mushin, which you can get from Shouki no Kami. The total amount of resources you will need to fully ascend a single talent for Layla is:
Because Layla's shield relies on her HP, it might be good to level her up in order to take advantage of that. You can also use her as just a Cryo applier and save your resources for someone else. Genshin Impact is readily available on the PS4, PS5, Windows PC, and mobile devices. You can get Layla as a permanent 4-star character from the gacha.

Jun Kazama in Tekken 8 is a playable character. Tekken Series Director Katsuhiro Harada confirmed the fact during a panel following the Tekken World Tour 2022 North America Regional Finals. Jun has been missing and presumed dead since her first appearance in Tekken 2. She showed up in other Tekken games, but only as a flashback or cameo. She was last playable in 2012's Tekken Tag Tournament 2 and 2013's Tekken Revolution, which are not considered "canon." Harada also confirmed that Jun never actually died, and only went missing. Exactly why she was gone all that time might be explained as part of Tekken 8's story. The panel also saw Harada and Tekken Series Producer Michael Murray show off some early concept art of Jun Kazama in Tekken 8. Jun's design comes from artist Mari Shimazaki, who designed the main cast of Bayonetta, Josie Rizal and Kazumi Mishima from Tekken 7, and the cast of anime series Luck & Logic. https://twitter.com/BNEesports/status/1602091664134221825 Besides the playability of Jun Kazama in Tekken 8, Harada and Murray also emphasized some other key points from the recent trailer aired at the 2022 Game Awards. Factors like environmental destruction, Rage Art super moves, and the three-dimensional "side-stepping" mechanics will continue to be important in the new game. The newer "Heat System" will be activated by executing certain moves, but also by other factors that will be revealed at a later date. The Heat System is designed to encourage "aggressive" play by enhancing characters' abilities and moves. In a follow-up Tweet, Harada also said that Tekken 7 had passed the 10 million sales milestone, as well as surpassing over 54 million sales over the series' lifetime. He thanked fans for their support over the years. https://twitter.com/Harada_TEKKEN/status/1601849013069750273 Tekken 8 will launch on PS5, PC, and Xbox Series X. It does not yet have a release date.
