PCGamesN Tuesday, July 19, 2022 6:56 PM Genshin Impact-a-like Tower of Fantasy gets new character trailer       Hotta Studio released a new Tower of Fantasy trailer highlighting some of the characters you can expect to meet in the upcoming Genshin Impact-styled RPG. That's what the trailer says at least, but it focuses just as much on showcasing some of the traversal methods you can use to get around the sci-fi world of Aida, including a mech shell and a robotic unicorn. While Tower of Fantasy looks and, from the beta, plays a lot like Genshin Impact, the trailer helps show what makes Hotta's open-world adventure a bit different. View the full site

PCGamesN Tuesday, July 19, 2022 3:34 PM Lost Ark Arcanist advanced class arrives with Spells in Spades update       The Lost Ark Arcanist class is just around the corner, along with a pool party battle royale, brutally difficult Raids, and an event-exclusive power pass. It's all part of the latest Lost Ark update, Spells in Spades, which releases July 20 and promises to be a more substantial update than we saw in June. The Arcanist uses cards for magic attacks and as physical weapons, hurling cards at enemies and slicing them into pieces, Smilegate says, but the real draw with the MMO game's new class is its Stack and Ruin effects. Stack skills place stacks on a foe, as you'd expect from the name, and Ruin skills consume existing stacks to deal extra damage. Plan your attacks well, and you could sweep the field with the Arcanist.

PCGamesN Tuesday, July 19, 2022 5:41 PM Destiny 2 weekly reset time, changes, and schedule       A fresh Destiny 2 weekly reset is upon us. As a premier live service game, one of the main ways that Bungie keeps players coming back to Destiny 2 is with its weekly resets. These typically offer a content refresh across the space game's various planets, raids, and dungeons, along with minor bug fixes and changes to address outstanding player concerns. The reset often includes new seasonal mission content or updates to existing in-game activities for players who own the seasonal content. And, with ongoing weekly updates to the Nightfall, the Crucible playlist, campaign missions, in-game activities and bounties, there's more to track than ever. The Destiny 2 weekly reset takes place at the same time each week. There's often some server downtime around the reset, so you should take note of that if you're unable to log into the game at precisely that time. Once the reset begins, you'll have a full week to explore all the changes before Bungie rolls out another set of changes on the same day and time the following week. Here, we're offering Destiny 2 players a recap of all the weekly reset changes so you know what shiny new activities to prioritise while grinding for loot.

PCGamesN Tuesday, July 19, 2022 3:28 PM Destiny 2: what is the Nightfall weapon this week?       Want to know what this week's Destiny 2 Nightfall weapon is? Each week you've got a chance at a different weapon for completing Nightfall Strikes, and ever since Season of the Lost, fan-favourite legacy weapons from the original Destiny have been added to the rotation. Two new weapons were introduced into the pool in Season of the Risen, so it's more important than ever to know in advance the Nightfall weapon schedule. In case you don't know what the Destiny 2 Nightfall weapon means, Nightfall: The Ordeal is a playlist available in the Vanguard menu, alongside the basic Strike playlist. Each week, a different Strike is chosen as the Nightfall, and offered in five escalating difficulties, with harder enemies, challenging modifiers, and enemy power levels cranking up. The coveted Nightfall weapons have a chance to drop from any Nightfall Strike difficulty, but it's far more likely at higher levels. Your best bet for farming each week's Nightfall weapon is to set the Strike to Master difficulty, according to YouTuber Aztecross. You should also note that there's no automatic matchmaking above Hero difficulty, however, so you'll need to get a squad together.

PCGamesN Tuesday, July 19, 2022 12:56 PM A Roblox exploit is triggering automatic account bans       A chat-based Roblox exploit appears to be causing players to lose account access after joining specific games. Multiple members of the Roblox community report falling victim to the exploits, with punishments that range from a few days to permanent bans. Roblox Trading News initially flagged the exploit, noting that players who joined an experience called Crossroads [A.2] would immediately have their accounts banned. The exploit reportedly works by taking over the user's chat and triggering strings of inappropriate phrases. Roblox's chat moderation tools automatically flag these phrases, which leads innocent players to then face account bans. Roblox streamer KreekCraft addressed the issue in a video titled "My Roblox Account Was Banned." The video includes footage of streamer clarkt1000 falling victim to the exploit and becoming audibly upset upon learning of the ban. Although Crossroads [A.2] is no longer accessible on the platform, KreekCraft claims to know of at least four other games that appear to be using the same functionality to trigger bans.

PCGamesN Tuesday, July 19, 2022 12:22 PM How to get into Super Spirit in Stray and find the detergent       The Stray Super Spirit laundromat on the western side of the slums is one door that is very firmly closed, despite the fact you need to get inside to grab the detergent for the Barterman. While most of the residents are welcoming to our furry protagonist, getting into Super Spirit can be quite tricky. The exterior of the Stray Super Spirit laundromat is characterised by its blazing red neon sign, making it quite difficult to miss. However, not even scratching at the door will grant you access. You might be tempted to explore elsewhere, but you'll need to find a way inside eventually to collect the Super Spirit detergent for the Barterman.

Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Tuesday, July 19, 2022 1:30 PM Deathloop creators may never make a linear campaign like Dishonored again, and that's fine       Arkane Studios' back catalogue shows a team that's constantly growing, changing and learning from their past – something that has never been clearer than in their most recent game, Deathloop. The studio's latest feels at once unique and distinct – and yet clearly carries that Arkane DNA, which has been fine-tuned with each successive release. It's an ethos encapsulated by the game's own time loop, in which protagonist Colt Vahn relives the same day again and again as he searches for a way to break free of it - an idea that was, among other things, designed to encourage something hardcore Arkane fans had been doing already – replaying the game over and over again. While Dishonored had gently suggested repeat playthroughs with its kill/non-lethal runs, plenty of players still called it a day at the end of their first playthrough. Deathloop needed a more direct approach, its developers tell us. Read more

Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Tuesday, July 19, 2022 12:11 PM Our first look at the next Yakuza game comes from an unlikely source       In a vaguely Yakuza sort of way, we've been treated to our first glimpse of what's likely to be Yakuza 8. First spotted by Japanese video game magazine Famitsu, MMA fighter Mikuru Asakura and his team posted a video of them touring Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio's offices before he gets his face scanned by a wall of cameras. But before the face-scanning, they record snippets of the Yakuza: Like A Dragon lads having a heated discussion in a small apartment. Ichiban has a ponytail! Apparently, there's a new town? And I got my mum to translate some bits. Sorry mum. The video in question sees Mikuru Asakura wandering about RGG's studios having a great time. First, he chats with Sega Sammy's President Haruki Satomi, who says that there's a new town in the next Yakuza game and reaffirms that they're developing a title outside of the Yakuza and Judgment series. Aside from that, it's a jovial enough chat with no more morsels of info to chase. And then Asakura is given a proper tour of the development area by RGG representative Masayoshi Yokoyama, where he marvels at the sheer number of folks working on the game and the face motion capture on some dev screens. Then onto the juicy stuff, which sees the camera pan over what looks like Yakuza 8 footage. In it, we see Ichiban Kasuga (who now sports a pony tail instead of a wild mess of hair), Yu Nanba, and Koichi Adachi from Like A Dragon having a right old natter. Asakura even asks whether it's okay to be filming these bits, but Yokoyama gives him the go-ahead. Read more

PC Invasion - FeedDDD Tuesday, July 19, 2022 7:30 PM The Nvidia RTX 3050 just got downgraded for OEM prebuilt systems       The iconic Nvidia RTX GPU branding carries with it a premium conception. RTX means ray tracing, DLSS, and by association, high performance. That's less so the case when it comes to the specs of the RTX 3050, which make it significantly less powerful than the rest of the Nvidia RTX 30 Series lineup. This problem is about to become further exacerbated with the OEM-specific GPU variant, which is something consumers need to be aware of, and potentially, watch out for. As of now, there are two distinct versions of the Nvidia RTX 3050 with different specs. This is clearly displayed on Nvidia's website.   The original specifications should still apply to graphics cards purchased from Add-in Board Partners (commonly referred to as AIBs). Examples of these include EVGA, MSI, ASUS, Gigabyte, ASRock, Zotac, Inno3D, PNY, Yeston, etc. However, you'll want to watch out for OEM versions from companies like Dell (Alienware), Lenovo (Legion), and HP (Omen) to name the major brand...

PC Invasion - FeedDDD Tuesday, July 19, 2022 5:30 PM Top Nvidia RTX 40 Series GPU claimed to double performance in Control over the 3090 Ti       Interest in the RTX 40 Series is rapidly increasing in anticipation of an initial fall release. As such, there are many rumors and performance leaks springing up around the internet. Preliminary performance leaks often come from synthetic benchmark tests, but we're all about the real-world performance here. We at last have something to share in regards to gaming performance of the RTX 40 Series, and it relates to the title Control. As reported by VideoCardz, Twitter user AGF @XpeaGPU claims to have information about the first in-game score for the full AD102 GPU that's expected to power the RTX 4090 Ti, or whatever top-end option Nvidia goes with for its RTX 40 Series. According to AGF's understanding of the test, the AD102 GPU managed to exceed 160+ fps in Control at 4K resolution with DLSS Quality and all other settings cranked to the max, including ray tracing.   Ultimate power play That's a hefty increase of about 2.2x the performance compared to the ex...

PC Invasion - FeedDDD Tuesday, July 19, 2022 5:00 PM Obsidian's tiny survival game Grounded is getting a TV adaptation       It's difficult to separate Obsidian's miniscule survival game from its influences. A story involving shrunken people exploring a back yard is not a new idea. It was the premise for the 1989 Rick Moranis-led Honey, I Shrunk the Kids, in which a scientist creates a device that accidentally shrinks his and his neighbors' children. But from big-screen inspirations, Grounded will soon have its own teeny tiny adventures retold as a TV adaptation. Confirmed by Deadline, Grounded is ironically headed to the small screen as a TV show. The Grounded series will be written by Brent Friedman, whose work includes Star Wars: Rebels, Call of Duty: Vanguard, and Halo 4. He also did the screenplay for 1997's Mortal Kombat: Annihilation, but we won't hold that against him.   The Grounded TV series will follow along with the story of the game. Four young friends wind up two-inches tall after a scientific device shrinks and traps them in a backyard filled with environment...

The agreement will see Nvidia Broadcast features become integrated into various Corsair and Elgato products such as Corsair iCue, Elgato Wave Link, and Elgato Camera Hub software. The features will be available to those with various Nvidia graphics cards including the GeForce RTX 2060, Quadro RTX 3000, Titan RTX, and higher. Unfortunately, those with AMD cards won't be able to utilize the Nvidia Broadcast elements within the software.   "With NVIDIA Broadcast integration, we're adding to the powerful capabilities of iCUE and Elgato software to create a more professional gaming, streaming, and remote work setup," said Thi La, president and COO of CORSAIR. Nvidia Broadcast brings quality to your streams By bringing over Nvidia Broadcast, a number of Elgato and Corsair programs will offer deeper options for thos...

PC Invasion - FeedDDD Tuesday, July 19, 2022 4:15 PM Sega briefly shows off early footage of the upcoming Yakuza 8       Yakuza: Like a Dragon represented a significant shift in direction for Sega's acclaimed series. Nearly every game beforehand featured real-time, beat-'em-up-style combat, but Like a Dragon abandoned that approach in favor of an old-school, turn-based RPG battle system. This sudden change in genre risked alienating longtime fans of the Yakuza series, but developer Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio's gamble paid off. The critical and commercial success of Like a Dragon has no doubt left fans wondering how the developers will build upon this new direction in a future installment. Although Sega didn't provide the answer to that question directly, the company nonetheless allowed footage of the upcoming Yakuza 8 to surface online. This new footage came courtesy of Mikuru Asakura, a well-known mixed martial artist who recently paid a visit to Sega's development headquarters. The video of his visit lasts around 17 minutes and mostly consists of him interacting with a fe...

PCGamesN Tuesday, July 19, 2022 11:55 AM GTA 6 likely entering next phase, as Rockstar posts dozens of jobs       GTA 6 could be heading to Vice City, and there might be information on the game's characters, radio stations, and production code name. That's what we learned on July 18, but now there's even more, as listings on Rockstar's careers page point to a massive upcoming development effort, potentially directed towards the new Grand Theft Auto. Rockstar is currently advertising openings at a variety of its global studios -- including the central GTA hub, Rockstar North -- and covering almost every game-making discipline, from animation to mission design, and vehicle physics. Rockstar San Diego is looking for an associate designer for "open-world events", which sounds very Grand Theft Auto-related, while Rockstar New York is looking for an additional someone to oversee "adoption and acquisition" of GTA+, the new Grand Theft Auto-exclusive subscription service which launched in March, and could likely feature as a component in GTA 6's online offering.

PCGamesN Tuesday, July 19, 2022 11:11 AM Valorant fans create their own honour system – and it's perfect       Valorant, Riot Games' quickfire, free-to-play FPS, has often struggled to engender good behaviour and friendly competition between its fans. But now, a Reddit thread suggests a potentially perfect new honour system -- things could be looking up. User u/rookcookie's post gained some traction this past week, as the bottom-fragging Brim player suggested an honour system to reward teammates for good behavior. Despite their poor in game performance, their teammates remained cheerful and encouraging; positive attitudes that deserve commendation. The interesting part of this idea is that it isn't an entirely new one. Positive feedback options aren't new to the online FPS scene, or even to Riot Games. League of Legends implemented an honour system back in 2012. Along with being able to report toxic players, LoL players can honour their teammates for staying cool, shotcalling, or being friendly and in earlier implementations, even honor opponents. CS:GO, which has one of the largest online FPS scenes, also has an honour system in place. During the post-match lobby, players can choose to honour teammates for their attitude, game knowledge, and skill. Overwatch takes the honour system a step further. Players can still honour each other for categories like sportsmanship, shotcalling, and being a team player; however, the Overwatch system calculates these endorsements into an endorsement level that is shown on a player's account. Players with a high endorsement level earn additional XP and are rewarded regularly with free loot boxes.

PCGamesN Tuesday, July 19, 2022 9:23 AM The best grand strategy games on PC 2022       Grand strategy games are an emerging sub-genre of strategy games that typically encompass long periods of history (or, if sci-fi, time), and involve many intricate layers that players need to contend with. It's not just about winning that war or setting up this mine; you've got to develop infrastructure, set policy, and manage internal dynamics over the long term. This genre often involves the exploration of the map in order to better understand the resources at your command and the position of your enemies – and your friends. Lines blur when picking apart the edge cases, but by and large count on grand strategy games to make the management of your faction the primary part of the experience. They often over-lap with other genres within strategy gaming, especially 4X games, but a key difference can be in framing. Games like Civilization, for example, typically put the emphasis on managing military resources in particular, with other mechanics in a supporting role. It can also be just as much a case as to what the accepted definitions are and how a game is marketed. In any case, this is definitely a genre worth exploring in more detail, and we've put together a guide on the best grand strategy games around.

There are a wealth of free options available from a wide range of providers, but it's worth keeping in mind that they won't be quite as robust as their paid counterparts. Of course, before diving into the wonderful world of free VPNs, it's important to learn how each works before trusting it with your data. Naturally, even if a VPN is free, it still costs its provider money to run, so it's important to identify any potential hidden costs or caveats associated with seemingly free services. This includes agreeing to your gaming PC becoming an exit node for other users, intrusive browser ads, and the risk of your data being logged and sold to third parties. That said, there are still free VPNs out there that can provide a great service without paying a monthly fee. While you'll still need to pay to experience the best VPN subscription and all its intrinsic benefits, you should still be able to find a good balance between usability and security when using a free version of a VPN.

Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Tuesday, July 19, 2022 11:21 AM Endling - Extinction Is Forever review: another cute animal survival game that'll make you cry       It's been a hot minute since a cute animal adventure scarred me for life. Ever since the first Shelter game where my sweet baby badger got snatched up by the claws of a giant eagle, I've learned that these adorable animal games can be pretty ruthless. It's the maternal connection that gets me, the pang of loss for something you were supposed to protect. It shoots right between the ribs and straight into the heart. Ow. Endling - Extinction Is Forever is one such game. You play as a fox mother trying to keep her four cubs alive in a post-apocalyptic world, and from that premise alone it definitely feels like developers Herobeat Studios are deadset on making me cry. After playing through the game in two evenings, Endling didn't end up being the emotional gut punch I had braced myself for, but its story of scrappy survival did have me reaching for the tissues by the closing credits. What can I say, I see an animal in distress and I'm a weepy mess. Read more
