Kotaku Monday, February 13, 2023 7:50 PM  You can joke about fingers all you want, but the reason AI-generated imagery is perceived as a threat and not just an idle curiosity is its ability to pass for actual, human-created artwork. On the extreme end of the scale that's a threat to accurate news reporting, and on the more harmless end it's making life… |

PCGamesN Monday, February 13, 2023 5:00 PM  When is the Sons of the Forest release date? It's a good question. After all, The Forest 2 has been a tough one to pin down, but Endnight Games has finally settled on a date, and it's gaining on us... fast. While we might run from the horrors awaiting us in the long-awaited The Forest sequel, we're not running from its fast-approaching launch date. Beyond ever-changing release date announcements though, Endnight Games is keeping details about its new survival game remarkably close to its chest, and comms have been few and far between. When it comes to what players will experience in what could be one of the best horror games of the year, if not one the best PC games overall, we've been kept in the dark, so let's shed some light on what we do know about the Sons of the Forest release date, story, gameplay, and more.

A new trailer for Koei Tecmo and EA's Wild Hearts dropped, showing off some of the characters inhabiting the game's village of Minato. Those craving more action from the monsters will get to see some. Despite technically taking a backseat in this trailer they're still present in all their beastly glory. You can find the trailer below: Wild Hearts is a new action RPG developed by Warriors series veterans Omega Force and published under EA Originals. Hunters will attempt to take down enormous beasts called Kemono either alone or with a squad of allies, utilizing an array of transforming weapon types. As per the trailer, fledgling hunters will be helped on their quests by Ujishige the washed-up samurai, Seren the loyal crafstwoman, and Suzuran the local scientist. Perhaps the busiest will be Natsume the blacksmith, who players will be visiting often for upgrades on their monster-whacking gear. Some might describe it as a Monster Hunter-like. Wild Hearts will also feature mechanical gadgets and varying weapon styles. Seven minutes of gameplay showed what people can expect from the title. Wild Hearts is set to release on February 17, 2023 and will be available on the PC, Playstation 5, and Xbox Series X/S.

PC Invasion - FeedDDD Monday, February 13, 2023 8:01 PM  As massive as the school is in Hogwarts Legacy, there's still a huge world outside its stone walls to explore.

PC Invasion - FeedDDD Monday, February 13, 2023 7:30 PM  Hogwarts Legacy has taken gaming by storm. Not long after it left early access, it already broke viewership records on Twitch. Of course, it does have a huge amount of appeal among Harry Potter fans, but even if you aren't crazy about the franchise, its still a captivating open-world experience. However, you may not be making the most out of Hogwarts Legacy's beauty if you have the wrong camera angle. Luckily, this guide has got you covered with how you can change the camera angle in Hogwarts Legacy. The Field of View (FOV) refers to how much of your surroundings you can see while playing a game. Most modern PC games have an option that allows you to adjust your FOV with a slider. In Hogwarts Legacy, you can do so by changing a value from anywhere between -20 to +20.

PC Invasion - FeedDDD Monday, February 13, 2023 6:11 PM  The wide variety of weapons that the Monster Hunter series lets players wield has become almost as iconic as the monsters. These weapons, which include great swords, dual blades, and the more unconventional insect glaives, give players an almost overwhelming number of options with which to tackle the games' numerous hunts. Naturally, being a game clearly inspired by Monster Hunter, Wild Hearts boasts its own selection of weapons for players to experiment with. At least as of right now, Wild Hearts only includes eight weapons; not quite as many as the average Monster Hunter game. However, the weapons that do exist should provide more than enough playstyle variation for now. What are all the weapons in Wild Hearts? Here is a full list of the eight weapons featured in Wild Hearts: Karakuri Katana Nodachi Bow Bladed Wagasa Canon Clawblade Karakuri Staff Maul The Karakuri Katana serves as the standard starting weapon with a healthy balance of both power and speed.
