GamersHeroes Monday, July 18, 2022 12:03 PM After being revealed years ago, BlueTwelve Studio and Annapurna Interactive's Stray has hit the scene. Is the cat adventure one worth taking, or should you wait for something else? The post Stray Review appeared first on GamersHeroes. |
Kotaku Monday, July 18, 2022 5:00 PM  Last week saw reports of many Fall Guys players complaining about accidental purchases. Today, in response to these issues, Fall Guys developer Mediatonic sent every active player a decidedly phallic-looking in-game costume. It's also offering refunds to affected players while it works to fix its store. |

Kotaku Monday, July 18, 2022 1:20 PM  Well, that took a while. We're seven months into the year, and Game Pass is only just getting its first first-party offering of 2022: the narrative party game As Dusk Falls.

PCGamesN Monday, July 18, 2022 5:17 PM  The prisoner may be dead, but Dead Cells certainly isn't. Developer Motion Twin says it has plenty of plans in store for its Metroidvania roguelike game, even after four solid years of DLC and free updates. "Reports of our death have been greatly exaggerated," the Dead Cells team writes in a recent update on Steam. "To clarify the situation we're giving you a little roadmap for the rest of the year. We're reasonably confident on the rease times and content, but there's no guarantees in game development, so please don't take this as gospel truth." |
PCGamesN Monday, July 18, 2022 5:06 PM  The Lost Ark team made an appearance at Twitchcon and brought along a few items fans couldn't resist: Mokoko Seeds. Not real ones, of course. It was a batch of adorable Mokoko merch, including seed stickers and a smiling Mokoko lamp to bless your bedside table. The best part was, you didn't even have to hunt for them. The team gave the Mokoko items away to anyone who dropped by the booth and did a dance from the MMO game for them.

Roblox said a group of cyber criminals targeted a specific employee as part of an extortion attempt against the platform, which is valued at over $68 billion and, at the end of 2021, had approximately 50 million active users daily. The documents appear to share personal information connected to Roblox creators, such as email addresses, though Roblox did not disclose how much the perpetrators are demanding in return or how the company plans to address the issue.

However, if new TimeSpy Extreme benchmark data fresh from the rumour mill is to be believed, it may almost double its predecessor's level of performance.

PCGamesN Monday, July 18, 2022 12:22 PM  Our Stray review begins with an acknowledgement of the hype that's surrounded BlueTwelve Studio's modest indie cat game since its announcement in 2020. The premise is simple, yet compelling: a wayward cat becomes trapped within the walls of an underground city inhabited by robots. In order to reunite with his colony, he must journey through the city, solving rudimentary platforming puzzles and unravelling the mystery at the heart of this narrative-driven experience as he goes. A tall order for a creature that sleeps twelve hours a day. It's immediately apparent that BlueTwelve Studio has gone to great lengths to make you feel like you're playing as a cat. In true feline fashion, you can leap onto surfaces and send objects flying, tear up all manner of upholstery, and knock over tins of paint with just a nudge of your paw. These feline idiosyncrasies are silly in a way that they should be, but they also function as mechanics in their own right. Meowing lures enemies away from key positions, and clawing at doors or hanging drapery grants you access to hidden areas. During Stray's quieter moments, you can curl up on a pile of discarded cushions for a cat nap – and will even be rewarded for it, once enough time has elapsed. Ok, so that last one isn't technically a mechanic, but it is extremely cute. |
PCGamesN Monday, July 18, 2022 12:06 PM  Half-Life 3 isn't happening. I mean, it might be, but this is what I have to tell myself now in order to move on. At the same time, I continue taking solace in the vibrant Half-Life fan community, which keeps turning in amazing speedruns, and discoveries about the game's AI and mechanics. And now, in honour of Valve's iconic, 1998 FPS, the Half-Life fans are planning to take to Steam to set an all-new world record, and everyone's invited. On August 14, 2022, at exactly 3PM GMT, the Half-Life community, mobilised by YouTubers Radiation Hazard and Noclick, will log into Steam en masse, and open their copies of Half-Life. The objective is to beat the game's all-time SteamDB record for concurrently playing users, which currently stands at around 6,000. It's a very achievable goal, especially considering that in 2021, as part of an event called Breaking the Bar, the same Half-Life community managed to get 16,000 people playing Half-Life 2 all at the same time, smashing the previous record, and planting a flag for the enduring popularity of the sci-fi shooter. |

PCGamesN Monday, July 18, 2022 11:25 AM  As things get more and more expensive, those who want to protect their privacy online are increasingly seeking a cheap VPN. Of course, it's reasonable to be concerned that a lower price means a lower quality service, so we've put together this list to help you find the VPN solutions that are both reliable and affordable. Some cheap VPN services come from slightly less well-known providers or ones that have only been around for a few years, while others come from large, familiar brands who like to provide affordable alternatives for their customers. We've picked out four cheap VPN providers for you, some free and others with an affordable price point. Each of them offers a unique service that each cater to different needs and price points, so it should be easy to find something that suits you.

PCGamesN Monday, July 18, 2022 11:16 AM  GTA 6, Half Life 3, and the return of Silent Hill – those, plus Beyond Good and Evil 2, or maybe a full release of Star Citizen, comprise the Mount Rushmore of most-wanted, but seemingly vaporous, videogames. It's been nine years since GTA V first whisked us away to Los Santos' sunny climes, and despite a litany of great, online updates, what we've all really been waiting for are solid GTA 6 leaks. Well, we might have something, as a CV from a voice actor offers possible information about characters, an internal code name for Rockstar's next sandbox outing, and a very conspiracy-minded hint about the return of Vice City. Users on GTA Forums, a highly committed Grand Theft Auto fan site that's been running since 2001, have been trawling through the CVs and resumes of Entertainment Lab, a talent agency partly operating in New York City, also home to the head offices of Rockstar Games. As of this writing, they have discovered three actors apparently attached to an upcoming Rockstar project. Nick Mills, listed on this page at bullet point number 14, is supposedly booked for a generic sounding "Rockstar voice-over project".

With the introduction of the Miami track to F1, it's only natural that we're keen to get to grips with the setup for this brand new circuit in F1 22. Miami has plenty of fast corners and long straights for opportune overtaking as you hurtle round the Hard Rock Stadium, complete with water-less marina in the middle.

While the studio has already said that this game is not going to be literally The Witcher 4, we're going to call it that for now for lack of a better, more official term. Your first question is likely to be 'when is The Witcher 4 coming out?'

Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Monday, July 18, 2022 12:00 PM  Cats are masters of their domain. As an owner of two tortoiseshells myself, they've unlocked routes in our house I never knew existed, using the tiny lip of our fridge as a gateway to the top of our kitchen cupboards, bed frames as launch pads to the middle bar of our sash windows (not even the actual window sill, those daft beasts), and don't even get me started on how they managed to get onto the top of our 2cm wide shower rail that one time. Stray, BlueTwelve Studio's cat 'em up explorathon, puts you in the paws of a similarly savvy feline protagonist. The cat itself is a marvel of digital observation, fully inhabiting all of the best cat-isms I know and love. You can scratch the backs of sofas and knead and shred carpets with alternate squeezes of the trigger buttons, meow at will, lap from dripping water bowls, topple piles of carefully stacked books and push paint cans off the edge of ledges - and, if you leave them idle long enough, they'll stretch and catch flies too tiny to be caught by the human eye. You can also play a mean game of billiards, much to the annoyance of the local robots. I wouldn't go as far as saying it loosened my jaw quite as much as when I first set eyes on Trico from The Last Guardian, all told, but I reckon if BlueTwelve had the same kind of budget and scale as GenDesign and Sony's Japan Studio did back then, then Stray's cat would be every bit the equal of that famous cat-bird-chimera. |

Cover has started selling Hololive Error the Game: Complete Edition online. The paid game tells a new horror story different from the free game that appeared in January 2022. People can visit the Hololive Production Official Shop to purchase the game digitally or physically. The physical Special Set is available for 8,000 yen or $54. In addition to a physical game copy, the set will contain an art and design collection book, a group photo acrylic panel, and four selfie photo postcards. The Special Set is only available for a limited time. Cover will close orders for it on August 22, 2022, at 18:00 JST (5 AM ET). It will produce sets based on the number of orders received and ship them between mid-November and December 2022. Players who only want to access the new Hololive Error game can purchase the standalone digital game for 1,000 yen or $7. The standalone game will still be purchasable after the Special Set order period has closed. However, Cover noted that it may cease sales of the game without prior notice. Hololive Error is a horror story project featuring Hololive VTubers as the key characters. The first chapters—including the free game—formed the "Present & Future" arc of the story. In late April 2022, Cover moved the story to the Train Arc. The most recent chapters since June 2022 constitute the new Truth Arc. Hololive Error the Game: Complete Edition is available for Windows PCs with Japanese and English language subtitles.

Tamashii Nations will expand its line of premium action figures with a new Imagination Works release. After two Dragon Ball figures, Bandai is tapping the One Piece vein. That vein will yield Imagination Works Luffy, the 3rd figure in the line and first from One Piece. Revealed back in January, the finalized figure will go on sale in August 2022. Like the Goku and Vegeta figures in the line, Imagination Works Luffy is built to 1/9 scale. That makes him a bit larger than the more common 1/12 scale. That said, a bigger scale leaves more room for detail and suits flourishes like cloth accessories. After all, flourishes are on-brand for Imagination Works. Tamashii Nations describes the brand identity as "a new pinnacle" of poseable action figures. Imagination Works Luffy appears as he does in the later chapters of One Piece, following the time skip and well into the Wano Country story arc. The figure wears an outfit that matches Luffy's look as he and his allies ready for battles in Onigashima. Check out some pictures of the figure in the gallery or on the product page. [gallery ids="932353,932354" link="file"] The figure sports a dark cloth overcoat and wears a red cloth shirt. The shirt exposes Luffy's chest scar. His purple sash and orange pants are made of sculpted plastic. He comes with a variety of accessories, including heads with and without his trademark straw hat. Hat pieces with and without a string to hang around Imagination Works Luffy's neck are included too. Furthermore, the figure has multiple arms available, with extra arms detailed with the dark, hardened appearance of Color of Arms Haki (Busoshoku Haki). Tamashii Nations will sell Imagination Works Luffy in August 2022 in Japan. The figure will cost 10,000 JPY (about $72 USD at current rates) excluding tax.

A character from Triangle Strategy will appear in Octopath Traveler: Champions of the Continent. The collaboration between Square Enix's titles will commence in the mobile game's Japanese release on July 28, 2022. Square Enix has not specified which Triangle Strategy character will appear in Champions of the Continent. However, it has published a silhouette that looks like Serenoa Wolffort, the protagonist of the Nintendo Switch strategy RPG. All existing players will obtain this character for free. The character will appear as a 3-star character, and players will be able to raise them to a 5-star grade. A new Japanese official live stream for Champions of the Continent will air on July 25, 2022, at 20:00 JST (7 AM ET). It will reveal more details on the Triangle Strategy collaboration content. The event will also come with a special game board that shows a different story ending based on the player's chosen route. Triangle Strategy characters will add more to the Octopath Traveler mobile game's in-house collaborations. In March 2022, Square Enix temporarily added NieR: Automata's 2B, 9S, and A2 as guest characters that players could recruit for a limited time. Octopath Traveler: Champions of the Continent is available on Android and iOS devices in Japan. Square Enix has also opened pre-registration for the global English version, which is slated for release in Summer 2022.

Kotobukiya will produce and release a new figure modeled after Renne Bright from Nihon Falcom's The Legend of Heroes series. The company has yet to show a prototype of the character, who debuted in Trails in the Sky SC. However, it used Renne's image from Trails Into Reverie when it made the announcement. Renne Bright will be the fifth character from Nihon Falcom's Trails series to have a figure made by Kotobukiya. The company has previously released figures of Altina Orion and Rean Schwarzer from the Trails of Cold Steel series. In February 2022, it announced new figures based on Rixia Mao and Crow Armbrust's appearances in Trails Into Reverie. The announcement page for the Renne Bright figure also shows new images of unpainted prototypes for Rixia's and Crow's figures. One of the images of Crow's figure puts him side-by-side with a finished Rean Schwarzer figure. [gallery ids="932334,932335,932336" link="file"] Trails Into Reverie is a story-driven RPG that primarily features characters from prior series entries, such as the Trails of Cold Steel series and the Crossbell titles Zero and Azure. Reverie is already available in Japan with the title Hajimari no Kiseki. NIS America will release the English localization of Trails Into Reverie on PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, and PC in 2023.

The female version of Terry Bogard that debuted in SNK Heroines: Tag Team Frenzy will appear as a figure. Kotobukiya has published a new page for the Terry Bogard Bishoujo Statue on its website. The immovable 1/7 scale PVC figure will be available for sale in Spring 2023. Kotobukiya had previously announced plans to produce a figure of SNK Heroines' Terry Bogard at the December 2021 MegaHobby Expo. Back then, the company only showed Shunya Yamashita's illustration of the character. The new webpage shows a painted prototype of the figure. However, Kotobukiya also noted that the final product may look different. It is still awaiting approval from SNK as the character's licensor. [gallery columns="2" ids="932324,932323" link="file"] The female Terry Bogard is the second character to have a figure in Kotobukiya's SNK Bishoujo lineup. The first figure featuring Mai Shiranui will release in August 2022 in Japan. Kotobukiya will also produce at least two more figures based on SNK's female characters.

PC Invasion - FeedDDD Monday, July 18, 2022 4:30 PM  Many players see inventory management as the most tedious aspect of any given game, but many others see it as an engaging process. Games like Resident Evil 4 have received quite a bit of praise for how they handle their inventory systems, so although this feature is not for everyone, it at least has its place. Those who get particular enjoyment out of the feature will probably find something to like about Backpack Hero, an upcoming rogue-lite dungeon crawler centered entirely around inventory management. Players can try out Backpack Hero for themselves once it releases in Early Access on August 15. According to a press release, Backpack Hero tasks players with navigating procedurally generated dungeons and fighting enemies using only items they can store in their backpacks. Notably, the importance of inventory management goes beyond ensuring you remain properly equipped with the right items. By placing items within specific areas in their backpacks, players can alter the items̵... |
PC Invasion - FeedDDD Monday, July 18, 2022 3:30 PM  Following Dead Cells' latest DLC, The Queen and the Sea, developer Motion Twin decided to speak out about a rumor swirling around. Said rumor suggested that the game, which released in 2018, was reaching the end of development. Not so, according to the studio, which paired the news with a new Dead Cells roadmap for 2022. Not only is more content coming to the popular rogue-lite, but the team is promising 2023 to be the "most exciting year in Dead Cells' history." Fans of Dead Cells should take note. There's a lot more on the horizon than you'd expect. Item balancing, a new weapon, a Boss Rush, and a whole lot more are getting added to the game in 2022. And then there's the mystery of what's in store for Dead Cells' future once the year takes a back seat. The Dead Cells 2022 roadmap shows us what's happening during the remaining seasons. For summer, the game is getting a new weapon: the panchaku. It's, well, itR... |
PC Invasion - FeedDDD Monday, July 18, 2022 3:00 PM  Playground has dropped the first full look at the map of the Hot Wheels Park for the new expansion, Forza Horizon 5: Hot Wheels. With four distinct biomes and miles of the new, iconic orange-colored track to drive on, this is statistically the largest expansion to a Horizon title yet. The rollercoaster like track design is on full display in this top-down map of Hot Wheels Park. It clearly shows that the entire map forms a shape close to that of a globe, with the biomes separated as their own, distinct floating islands. Tracks for days In the center is the new Horizon Nexus festival site, which serves as ground zero for the new map. Players will begin their Hot Wheels adventure here, and then branch out to each of the other three biomes. They can all be directly accessed from this point on the map as well. To the north of Hot Wheels Park lies Forest Falls, which has the tracks suspended above tree canopies and looping around towering waterfalls. The western region is where Ic... |
PC Invasion - FeedDDD Monday, July 18, 2022 2:00 PM  Activision has set up a publisher page on Steam, as spotted by Reddit user atahutahatena on r/pcgaming. For most publishers, this wouldn't be newsworthy. Steam is by far the biggest digital distributor of games on PC. It's only natural that game publishers would take advantage of that. However, Activision has largely avoided Steam, locking its games behind its own platform, Battle.net. Over the last five years, only a handful of Activision titles have made their way to Steam, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered, Call of Duty: WWII, Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy, and Spyro Reignited Trilogy. A majority of Activision's titles over the last half-decade have been exclusive to Battle.net. The addition of a Steam page for Activision signals something significant. The AAA publisher is making its return and future Activision games will be sold on Steam in some capacity. The most notable of these games is Modern Warfare 2, which is launching in October. Despite Ac... |
PC Invasion - FeedDDD Monday, July 18, 2022 1:35 PM  Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin's previous trailer didn't show much of the upcoming Trials of the Dragon King DLC. However, the most recent trailer shows off a lot more. Now we've got an idea about what to expect from the new jobs, weapon types, and more coming to Stranger of Paradise Trials of the Dragon King. Plus, the trailer shows off more of the story with the Warrior of Light. But beware, the trailer has spoilers for the main story of the game. First off, the trailer gives us another look at the fight with Bahamut. And, judging from the short clips, it doesn't look too easy. The iconic summon seems to have plenty of attacks that can catch you off guard. It also seems to be a lot faster than you'd think, so it should make for an interesting fight. We also got another look at the encounter against the Warrior of Light. It doesn't show too much, but it does look fairly fast-paced. Hopefully, the Warrior of light will be able to put up a... |
