PCGamesN Saturday, May 13, 2023 7:55 AM  FFXIV director Naoki Yoshida loves videogames, and he wants you to play more of them. Final Fantasy XIV has long been commended for not demanding your constant attention the way the classic MMORPG grind popularised by the likes of EverQuest and World of Warcraft has done in the past. Now, among plenty of big releases including Zelda Tears of the Kingdom, Star Wars Jedi Survivor, and Diablo 4 headlining the coming months, 'Yoshi-P' says he's making it easier to get gear in FFXIV to give you more time to play other games.

PCGamesN Saturday, May 13, 2023 6:10 AM  The original Fallout source code has apparently already been found by the series' initial developer Interplay, with the internet assuming for years that it remained lost. This is according to Fallout co-creator Tim Cain, who says Interplay previously found the RPG game's code in the comments to one of his YouTube videos on game development. This doesn't confirm we'll be getting remasters or ports from Bethesda, but it's the next best thing as we come ever closer to the Fallout 5 release date.

Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Saturday, May 13, 2023 3:00 AM  Samsung's 870 Qvo SSD is one of the best options for high-capacity solid state storage, with a simple 2.5-inch form factor that doesn't take up a valuable M.2 or PCIe slot and a fast-enough SATA connection. While performance is good, at up to 550MB/s for reads and a little less for writes, the real benefit here is having up to 8TB of silent, reliable and low latency storage. You can currently pick up this RPS-recommended gaming SSD in its ultimate 8TB form for less than £415 from two places in the UK: Tech Next Day, where you can use code TND-10 to get it for £414, and Amazon, where you can get the drive for £412. I've included both options in case you have a preference, and in the event the drive goes out of stock at this reduced price by the time you come to click the links below! |

Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Saturday, May 13, 2023 2:00 AM  AMD's RX 6950 XT has been enjoying a surprising revival as of late, as precipitous price drops have positioned it as a cheaper competitor to Nvidia's new RTX 4070 GPU that offers better performance in rasterised titles - by a significant ~20% margin, too. Today, the RX 6950 XT has dropped below the £600 mark for the first time we're aware of, with a chunky triple-fan ASRock model costing just £598 at Overclockers in the UK. That's significantly cheaper than the £999 that these cards originally debuted at, bringing it into contention with newer-gen cards. |

Ahead of his official playable debut, HoYoVerse uploaded a new character trailer and biography for Jing Yuan from Honkai Star Rail. He is one of the Charioteers on the Xianzhou Luofu and appeared occasionally in the story so far. As a playable character, he will be a 5-star Lightning unit. Unlike Genshin Impact, the character teaser posts on HoYoLab do not give much information on the character's kit. More information about Jing Yuan might appear closer to the release of the new Honkai Star Rail banner though. Instead, his character update focuses more on Jing Yuan as a character. It looks like an interview, in which he answers questions. For example, one of the questions is regarding his age, but Jing Yuan spouts off a lot of fanciful trivia about the Xianzhou residents and does not actually answer the question. March 7th points out this last part as well. There is also a character trailer for Jing Yuan. Yanqing makes an appearance in it as well. It shows off both Jing Yuan's military strength, as well as his intelligence. You can watch the Jing Yuan trailer (as well as an animated short featuring him) via the Honkai Star Rail YouTube channels: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YyCOxxBkPTI Honkai Star Rail is available on mobile devices and Windows PC. PS4 and PS5 versions will come out as well. Jing Yuan will appear in the gacha on May 17, 2023. The post Honkai Star Rail Jing Yuan Trailer Focuses on Chess appeared first on Siliconera. |

PC Invasion - FeedDDD Saturday, May 13, 2023 4:22 AM Honkai: Star Rail features an early roster of seven 5-star characters for you to pull for. These characters are commonly referred to as "standard" characters, as they are primarily available through the Standard Warp banner. Despite this status, these characters are nothing to laugh at. Some of these characters are amongst the strongest in the game. One of these 5-star characters is Yanqing, an Ice Hunt character that is well-known for his high single-target damage. Here's our guide on the best team comps for Welt in Honkai: Star Rail. Yanqing is a 5-star Ice Hunt character and can be summoned on both the Character Event Warp banner and the Regular Warp banner.

PC Invasion - FeedDDD Saturday, May 13, 2023 12:12 AM  The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom has a bunch of different items to find. Some resources are common, while some are found only in dank caves or rare treasure chests. Here is our guide on how to get amber in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.
