     The HTC Vive XR Elite helps VR make more sense, for a price

My HTC Vive XR Elite impressions at MWC 2023 don't start in the most ideal way, as I'm still dizzy from the night before after perhaps too much tapas and beer. On top of that, as a VR sceptic, I'm nervous. Am I going to get really motion-sick? Is last night's seafood going to come back to bite me? Well, no – even after around an hour with the HTC Vive XR Elite, I just had a good time.

     WoW's cross-faction guilds don't take the 'war' out of Warcraft

I asked Blizzard about WoW cross-faction guilds in the wake of World of Warcraft Dragonflight and, while the devs remained tight-lipped, I was pretty sure we'd see them implemented alongside WoW Dragonflight patch 10.1. In the wake of the announcement, I asked production director Pat Dawson and lead quest designer Maria Hamilton whether or not the MMO's cross-faction play takes the 'war' out of 'Warcraft,' a sentiment I've seen floating around the internet for a while.

     Warzone 2 Season 2 Reloaded release date, time, and patch notes

Want to know when the Warzone 2 Season 2 Reloaded release date is? The mid-season updates tend to build upon the most recent additions to the game. In this case, Season 2 Reloaded gives players a new weapon to take with them to Ashika Island, new camo events to customise their guns, and free gifts to celebrate Warzone's third anniversary.

One of the best additions to the free PC game is the surprise collaborations Activision manages to pull off every few months. In the past, we've seen characters like Rambo and The Terminator appear in the battle royale game, and now Shredder from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is coming to the FPS game. Here's everything you can expect from Warzone 2 Season 2 Reloaded.

     Fortnite Eren Jaeger release date, quests, and how to get the skin

The Fortnite Eren Jaeger skin brings Attack on Titan to the battle royale game for the new Mega season, and the Japanese manga and anime series fits right in with the Japanese and Neo-Tokyo theme. We'll help you complete the quests needed to unlock the skin and its complementary items.

The new Fortnite map features some heavy Japanese influence, from Sakura trees, Japanese architecture, and the Neo-Tokyo inspired Mega City, so it's little wonder this Fortnite season's unlockable quest skin is none other than Attack on Titan's Eren Jaeger. While the Attack on Titan quests aren't available in the battle royale game just yet, we're sure they will capitalise on some of this season's new mechanics, like the grind rail, Kinetic Blade mythic weapon, and talking to some of the latest Fortnite NPCs to land on the island. Perhaps Eren will make an appearance on the map himself in the free PC game.

Exactly how long is Resident Evil 4 Remake? That's a very good question, since gunning for S-rank and accumulating unlockables is all part of the fun in Capcom's long-standing horror series. When you're partial to a speedrun or two, knowing how long it takes to beat on average is vital.

The Resident Evil 4 Remake release date is just weeks away, and while PCGamesN's exclusive hands-off preview delves into how the remake builds upon the original's acclaimed blueprint, we're still wondering how long it'll take to reach the end credits in one of the best PC games of this year.

What is the Destiny 2 season 21 release date? It's rapidly approaching, and Bungie is already offering players a sneak peek at what they can expect in the game's next seasonal instalment. We've brought together all that information for you right here. While there's still plenty to discover in Lightfall and season 20, it's not too soon to look toward the game's next seasonal instalment to find out what's to come.

As of Lightfall, the popular FPS game underwent various changes such as introducing Loadouts, Guardian Ranks, and Commendations.

Here's exactly how those plans are set to take shape in the next season.

     The Last of Us PC release date, trailer, and gameplay changes

The Last of Us PC release date has certainly been a long time coming. First announced at the Summer Games Fest back in June 2022, console owners only had a few months to wait before the remake was in their hands. Those few months are a drop in the bucket compared to PC users, who've been looking on in envy at Naughty Dog's story-driven epic for almost a decade.

Not to be confused with the console-exclusive remaster, The Last of Us PC release date is Part 1 of Joel and Ellie's journey. It's also the latest from Sony's stable of first-party exclusives to make its way onto PC, coming hot on the heels of the Returnal release date. While we don't know much about what's going on under the hood of the PC port just yet, we do have an idea of what to expect thanks to the console version. As an early contender for one of the best PC games of the year, here's everything we know ahead of The Last of Us PC release date.

     Genshin Impact tier list March 2023: the best characters in 3.5

Looking for a Genshin Impact tier list? There are currently 64 Genshin Impact characters available, so there's no shortage of candidates for your dream team. But with so many different weapons, elementals, talents, ascension bonuses, and constellation upgrades, finding your favourites can be challenging.

Don't let the placement of the characters on our Genshin Impact tier list deter you from pulling on the next character banner. While base stats and elemental abilities are important, the value of a character also depends on personal playstyle, available weapons and artifacts, and team composition. That being said, if your favourite Genshin Impact character is in C tier or below, you may struggle to get past some of the more challenging Spiral Abyss floors. Don't worry too much if your favourite Genshin Impact character is on one of the lower tiers; you can still make it work with our recommended Genshin Impact builds. Being on a lower tier in the free PC game means that there are better alternatives, or the character needs a very specific build or team to shine.

Every limited-time character banner - or Event Wish - contains a five-star character, and three four-star characters with increased drop rates. There's also a Genshin Impact Weapon banner - Epitome Invocation - which runs alongside each character banner and changes weapons every update.

     Sons of the Forest building guide – how to build your base

Sons of the Forest building can be a bit tricky, especially for players not familiar with the base-building and survival genres. The building in this game works differently than it did in its predecessor, The Forest, and there's a nuance to it. We've been through many cycles of building bases and protecting them from hungry cannibals, so whether you're a seasoned survival game enthusiast or are new to the genre, we can explain those quirks to you and provide a thorough breakdown of how Sons of the Forest building works.

As you can imagine, building is a crucial element of the survival game as you need somewhere to rest your head, protect yourself from the harsh weather - and hide from those dangerous Sons of the Forest mutants. As we discuss in our Sons of the Forest review, the game sees a drastic hike in difficulty during the winter season, so while those basic tarp tents are fine for a while, you need something more substantial fairly quickly - so here's everything you need to know to get started with Sons of the Forest building.

The Sons of the Forest map includes a lot of the same features as the first game, including caves, woodland, and water. However, developer Endnight Games has revealed that the sequel's map is four times the size of the first game, and that's without taking into account the underground cave system.

You can spawn in a number of random locations on the Sons of the Forest map, and from there, the open-world game is your oyster. Traversing the overground will take you through troubling terrain, so you'll need to stock up on food and make sure you know how to get water in Sons of the Forest to keep your stamina up. Your GPS tracker is never far away, but if you're in die need of some cartographic help, here's everything you need to know about the Sons of the Forest map - including spoilers, so tread carefully if you want to go into the sequel without knowing anything.

     Genshin Impact codes March 2023 – redeem free primogems

Looking for Genshin Impact codes? Gathering currency in Genshin Impact can be quite the grind - while you can earn Mora and Primogems by completing quests such as daily commissions, an injection of extra funds will always be gratefully received. Fortunately, the developers occasionally send out free gifts in the form of Genshin Impact codes that can be redeemed online. Most codes also only work for a limited time - so it's a good idea to redeem them as soon as possible in case you miss out. Codes can only be redeemed once per account.

Genshin Impact codes are released periodically, frequently appearing in Hoyoverse's special programs that reveal information about future updates coming to the free PC game soon, but also to celebrate milestones or to coincide with new Genshin Impact events.  Here are all the current Genshin Impact codes for March 2023, and how to redeem them.

When a new Genshin Impact character joins the game, the devs launch a web event at the same time - players learn about the latest characters through an interactive story told through a web browser. Similar to some of the best RPG games, the rewards for completing different events range from in-game items like primogems and mora, to real life prizes like mouse mats and plushies.

One of the best things games can do is bring you an appreciation of something you've never thought about before. You'll probably start out Zellige thinking "oh, it's making some shapes and they turn into a pattern, whatever". But within ten minutes you'll be actively saying things like "does the empty space over here feel like purity or desolation" and "what does the contrasting colour of these triangles say about their relationship with the central star?".

It's been a while since I played a game about creating art that felt effortless even as I put in a lot of effort. Zellige: The Tilemaker Of Granada is humble but delightful. It's about designing tiles. And why something that straightforward is also rich and complicated.

Until recently, the story of Intel's Arc GPUs has been a litany of mild disappointments. After years of it being easier to buy an original O'Keefe than a reasonably priced graphics card, the Arc series brought hope that it might actually be possible to get a decent PC upgrade for less than £500. Then they were repeatedly delayed, confirmed to possess some unwelcome technical quirks (like wanting Resizable BAR on at all times), and ultimately released with merely decent-ish performance. Nothing awful, but nowhere near as special as they once seemed like they could be.

In 2023, however, Intel Arc may be on a redemption... arc. A series of driver updates, Intel claims, have improved average FPS performance by up to 87% since launch, with major gains in frame times (the time between each new rendered frame) as well. The specific model we have here, the Arc A750 Limited Edition, has also had its price cut from £330 / $289 to £250 / $250. More power for less money? I'd say that's worth a fresh evaluation.

Primaniacs will sell perfumes that draw inspiration from NieR Automata Ver1.1a. The fragrances are in development. More information on the line-up, as well as the prices and release dates, will come out some time in the near future.

Since Primaniacs usually releases scents based on characters, we can expect to see fragrances inspired by the two main characters. Aside from 2B and 9S, there might be Pascal, A2, Adam, and Eve perfumes. Since this is specifically for the anime adaptation of NieR Automata rather than the game, we could also see a Lily perfume.

For those who do not know, Primaniacs is a fragrance brand that specializes in perfumes based on video games and anime. In the past, Primaniacs released scents based on characters from Granblue Fantasy, Genshin Impact, and Demon Slayer. All of the perfumes come in packaging that match the character's motif or the original work's too.

NieR Automata Ver1.1 is streaming on Crunchyroll, though it has had a slight schedule slip due to a delay. The show has started airing again though. As for the game, it is readily available on the PS4, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, and Windows PC. The NieR Automata perfumes from Primaniacs will appear some time in the future.

Fatal Frame: Mask of the Lunar Eclipse Ghosts Based on Director's Experiences

Fatal Frame: Mask of the Lunar Eclipse Director Makoto Shibata took to Xbox Wire to detail some of the real-life experiences with ghosts and the paranormal that helped shape the game. In particular, he noted how his own experiences at a hot spring hotel and a feeling of being grabbed directly factored into the game. Shibata also noted that a mysterious voice that came up during recording for the game was actually left in as well.

First, Shibata noted Rogetsu Hall in Fatal Frame: Mask of the Lunar Eclipse ended up inspired by his seeing a strange man who then disappeared. Here's his story from Xbox Wire.

The actual source of inspiration for Fatal Frame: Mask of the Lunar Eclipse is from an experience I had that still gives me goosebumps. In the game, one of the places you'll visit is Rogetsu Hall. This is actually based on an old, Japanese-style hot spring hotel owned by one of my relatives. We used to gather there as a family, and on this one particular night, my family were the only guests in the hotel, so there was nobody else around. I woke up in the middle of the night, and because the inside of the hotel was only dimly lit by the moonlight shining through the window, the fantasy-like atmosphere lured me to wander around a bit. That is, until I saw a man I didn't recognize standing on the other side of the hallway, looking out the window under the moonlight.

There should've only been relatives around, but this man was definitely a stranger. As I slowly approached to see who he was, the man looked at me, then quickly disappeared. More curious than scared, I went to the spot where the man was standing. I looked out the window and gazed at the large moon. I stood there looking at the moon for a while until I realized that I was now in the exact same pose as the man I had just seen. I started to wonder, was the man a spirit? Was he a vision of someone's past? Or did I just see a vision of my future? I knew I wanted to capture a moment like this in the game.

In Fatal Frame: Mask of the Lunar Eclipse, ghosts can sometimes grab the characters when they go to reach for items, and Director Shibata explained how his own paranormal experience inspired that as well. He felt himself "grabbed" while working on Fatal Frame III: The Tormented. But, since it couldn't be implemented in that entry, it was saved to become a mechanic in the fourth installment instead.

Fatal Frame: Mask of the Lunar Eclipse also features a unique system where the player is sometimes grabbed by a ghostly hand when reaching for an item. This was actually based on a spiritual experience I had during the production of a previous game, Fatal Frame III: The Tormented. Late one night, I was home asleep when I felt someone grab my hand. At first, I thought it was an illusion since I was still in a sleep-like haze, but the cold hand kept hold, slowly increasing strength. "It hurts! It hurts!", I screamed, and I finally felt the cold hand pull away before I saw it disappear into a wall. Since I was sleeping against the wall, there was no way anyone could've been there. There was a spirit behind the wall!

Shibata also explained how two things he heard also made it into the game. For example, he explained how hearing a ghost sing in Fatal Frame: Mask of the Lunar Eclipse happened after he heard a similar sort of "song" after sleeping after work.

For Fatal Frame: Mask of the Lunar Eclipse, the original version of the game wasn't made at Koei Tecmo's studio, but at Grasshopper Manufacture's studio, so we never saw the spirit of the boy, but they had this ping pong table that I used to sleep on when we were working on the game late into the evening, and every once in a while, I would see the spirit of a girl who would circle around the table, running slowly and quietly. If I didn't respond when seeing her, she would walk over to the window and sing a song. "Four, four, six…" Apparently, she was singing numbers in the form of verses. I could never hear the end clearly, but I thought this was a message that they wanted me to include in the game, so I decided to include an event where a girl says numbers as if she was singing them.

Finally, the director mentioned that no purification ritual was done before making Fatal Frame: Mask of the Lunar Eclipse. He claimed that as a result, some captured audio featured a "voice" that was left in and made it into the game.

In the Japanese game industry, it is customary to visit a shrine and perform a purification ceremony when starting work on a horror title. The purpose of the ceremony is to prevent any spiritual phenomena or disturbances during the game's development, but for Fatal Frame, we thought it would be better to let the spirits emerge, so we usually don't do the purification ceremony for games in this series. Because of this, some spirit phenomena occurred during development that was directly reflected in the game – like the time we were recording sound and a mysterious voice was actually recorded in the background. We tried to remove it from the recording, but eventually gave up because no matter what we did, the voice kept coming back onto the recording , so we actually left it in the game!

Fatal Frame: Mask of the Lunar Eclipse is available on the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and PC via Steam.

Pokemon Unite Goodra Videos Show Off the Defender's Skills

Goodra is about to be yet another one of the new Pokemon to join Pokemon Unite in 2023, and new videos detailed some of the defender's moves. As a tank type of character, its goal will be to help soak up damage. Its Power Whip gets an opponent closer to it, while Dragon Pulse deals damage while increasing survivability.

First, here's the look at Power Whip. It could be used to pull in a foe, which could make it easier for Goodra to attack it and keep it from attacking allies.

Next, here's Goodra using Dragon Pulse in Pokemon Unite. It can restore health, but the exact circumstances to trigger that weren't mentioned in the reveal.

Goodra joins a number of other new characters who appeared this year. Comfey is a supporter who kicked off 2023 as its first new addition. During the 2023 Pokemon Presents, Zacian was revealed as the next playable character.

Pokemon Unite is available for the Nintendo Switch and mobile devices, and Goodra joins as a Defender character on March 16, 2023.

Pokemon Scarlet Tera Raid bug

The official Pokemon Japanese Twitter account announced the release of a patch for Pokemon Scarlet and Violet that will fix the recent Tera Raid egg bug related to the Walking Wake and Iron Leaves event. The patch will appear by the end of April 2023. In addition, the latest five-star Tera Raid event will be repeated when the upcoming patch releases. Nintendo will offer more information on exact dates soon.

Players that captured an egg during the latest five-star Tera Raids in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet are unable to capture Walking Wake and Iron Leaves, as they are supposed to be one-time unique Pokemon. The upcoming patch for the game will fix this so that players will be able to catch Walking Wake and Iron Leaves when the event returns. To make it up to players that were affected by the Tera Raid egg bug and missed on the chance to capture Walking Wake and Iron Leaves, the event will roll around again whenever the next update releases at the end of April 2023.

Nintendo and Game Freak acknowledged and apologized to players that were affected by the Pokemon Scarlet and Violet Tera Raid bug. They also explained how to avoid it.

Pokemon Scarlet and Violet are available for the Nintendo Switch, and the Walking Wake and Iron Leaves Tera Raids will appear in-game until March 12, 2023. The event will repeat again later in April 2023.

zaion lanza nijisanji

As of March 10, 2023, Zaion LanZa is no longer a Vtuber with Nijisanji. A tweet from the official company Twitter account stated that the company terminated her contract effectively immediately. Prior to this, she received a suspension. But Zaion will never return as a streamer under that name or identity with the company.

According to the notice, this is due to multiple infringements of the contract during her streams. This was the same reason that Nijisanji suspended her. The suspension was so that she could reflect on her behavior, but the company felt that her attitude and understanding of what it means to be a streamer associated with Nijisanji did not improve. Thus, Nijisanji had to terminate Zaion LanZa as a Vtuber.

Because she is no longer a streamer with Nijisanji, all of her previous videos and streams will become private on YouTube. This was the same thing that happened when Yugo Asuma suddenly graduated from Nijisanji EN.

Infringements that Zaion LanZa committed during her time with Nijisanji are:

  • Using a copyrighted song in her stream without prior authorization.
  • Revealing internal information that can potential cause issues for stakeholders during her stream.
  • Making statements that could lead to speculation or leaking of internal information using social media accounts that she personally operates, during her activity suspension time.
  • Offensive remarks regarding discrimination and sexual assault.
  • Several infringements of the Rules pertaining to the use of games defined by ANYCOLOR Inc. (including intentional infringements) and repeated false justifications given to ANYCOLOR Inc. regarding these infringements.
  • Expressing her will to perform streams using illegal games (also referred to as pirate games).
  • Comments that can be considered offensive to the rights holder of a game during a stream.
  • Giving false information to other NIJISANJI EN Livers regarding the contents of her communications with ANYCOLOR Inc.
  • Falsely claiming to have received permission from ANYCOLOR Inc. after a viewer commented on Zaion performing an action prohibited by the Rules.
  • Falsely claiming to be sponsored by a brand during a stream.
  • Giving "likes" to comments falling under defamation of NIJISANJI Livers and ANYCOLOR Inc. using social media accounts that she personally operates.
  • Numerous other actions and comments infringing the Contract and Rules.

Zaion LanZa is no longer part of NIJISANJI as of March 10, 2023. She was part of XSoleil, which debuted in early December 2022. The remaining memebers of XSoleil are Doppio Dropscythe, Meloco Kyoran, Hex Haywire, Kotoka Torahime, and Ver Vermillion.

Square Enix President Matsuda Says Blockchain Games Coming in Fiscal Year 2024

In the document going over the Outline of Financial Results Briefing by Square Enix Holdings held on Feb. 3, 2023, a hint appeared as to when to expect the company's blockchain games. President and Representative Director Yosuke Matsuda brought them up during a Q&A. When someone asked about the company's approach to major releases and sustainable growth, Matsuda pointed to blockchain titles that will arrive during or after the third quarter of fiscal year 2024. [Thanks, Stephen Totilo!]

Here is Matsuda's exact response to a question expressing concern about maintain growth year over year and continuing profitability into the 2025 fiscal year.

Major title launches will not be concentrated solely in FY2024/3. We have organized our pipeline so that we will have a good spread of new releases in FY2025/3 and beyond as well. We also hope that you will look forward to the blockchain games we plan to launch in FY2024/3 and thereafter.

Matsuda's 2023 A New Year's Letter from the President for Square Enix also mentioned the company's commitment to NFT and blockchain games.

As a reminder, Matsuda will soon no longer be the president of Square Enix. At the beginning of March 2023, the company revealed Takashi Kiryu will become the next president and representative director. Matsuda will continue to hold the role until June 2023.

Square Enix hasn't revealed too many of its blockchain games ideas yet, but it did mention an NFT project. Symbiogenesis is set to launch in Spring 2023.

Yu-gi-oh zexal gagaga girl

A famed monster from Yu-Gi-Oh! Zexal is joining the ranks of figures based on the series. FuRyu announced that pre-orders have opened for its Yu-Gi-Oh Zexal Gagaga Girl 1/7th scale figure. Interested buyers can visit the FuRyu Hobby Mall and F:NEX storefronts to place a pre-order. [Thanks, Hobby Watch!]

The Gagaga Girl figure is based on the Yu-Gi-Oh! monster of the same name. Part of the "Gagaga" series of cards, the Gagaga Girl is derived from the iconic Dark Magician Girl monster. She appears as part of deck used by Yuma Tsukumo, protagonist of the Yu-Gi-Oh! Zexal anime and manga series.

[gallery columns="4" size="medium" ids="954873,954874,954875,954876" link="file"]

The figure itself stands 265mm tall (about 10.5" inches) and s made of PVC. Pre-orders cost 28,600 Yen (about $210 USD), with an expected delivery date of November 2023.

The figure replicates the character design seen in the anime and on the card art. Unlike the Dark Magician girl she's based on, though, she carries a cellphone instead of a magical staff. The phone also has a large chain-like phone strap and trails twin skulls. The sculpting also evokes her floating ribbon sash. There are even effect parts to reproduce the magical circle visuals on her card art.

In the official card game, the Gagaga Girl works in conjunction with Xyz summoning and other Gagaga series cards. In particular, she forms a combo with her mentor, the Gagaga Magician. When on the field she can match her level the Gagaga Magician's own. She can also perform Xyz summons and use them to drain the attack power of an opponent's monsters.

The FuRyu Yu-Gi-Oh! Zexal Gagaga Girl figure is available for pre-order in Japan. Fans who buy a new issue of V Jump can also score a newly remade card for their decks.

The season will begin two weeks after the Plant Quetta incident which closed out Season 1. Suletta passes her days at school while she waits for the chance to see her fiance Miorine again. Meanwhile, Miorine watches over her injured father at the Benerit Group's headquarters. With more hardship, difficult decisions, and different feelings swelling in their chests, the girls will confront the curse that Gundam brings.

The first season of Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch From Mercury debuted in October 2022, but in part due to various delays, the last episode of the season only aired in early January 2023.

Suletta pilots the Aerial, a mobile suit that's secretly a Gundam, which hides technology forbidden by the Benerit Group, an exploitative mega-conglomerate that rules much of the solar system. Various circumstances lead Suletta to be declared the fiance to Miorine, who is daughter of Deling Rembran, the Benerit Group's President and the man responsible for the death of Suletta's father.
