PCGamesN Wednesday, May 24, 2023 8:00 AM  I've thought before about a possible Doom 3 remake. The environments look good, there are some terrific enemy designs - especially the big zombies - and that P90-style sub-machine gun is great fun, too. But among the pantheon of FPS games, which naturally includes the original Doom, Doom 3 struggles to justify itself. It's a bit slow, a bit sober, and it's absent that kind of gliding-while-gunning sensation that makes the id Software series such chaotic fun. But now that's all changed. Thanks to a huge new mod, Doom 3 has been remade as an ultra-quick run-and-gun boomer shooter, closer to both Doom 2016, and the 1993 original.

These useful items can be applied to your gear to increase defensive, offensive, or resistance stats, depending on the gear you apply it to.

PCGamesN Wednesday, May 24, 2023 6:34 AM  When is the GTA 6 release date? Given how many years it takes to create open worlds of the same caliber as GTA 5, it's no surprise that Rockstar Games has already spent years developing GTA 6. However, like most developers, Rockstar prefers to keep its secrets close to its chest until they're close to the end of development, but we recently had our first real hints about when the game's coming out. Early gameplay footage of GTA 6 recently surfaced online, along with lines of source code from the game itself. Rockstar has issued a statement on Twitter that confirms that an unauthorized third party managed to access and download information from their systems, including development footage for the open-world game. However, its statement notes that the developers don't believe this leak should impact the development of their long-term projects or disrupt their live service games.

PCGamesN Wednesday, May 24, 2023 6:23 AM  Want to know how to upgrade your Diablo 4 healing potion? Chances are that you will take some hits as you're butchering the demons of hell with your axe or obliterating them with magic. As veterans of the series will find all too familiar, this can bring on quite the thirst, so you'll be chugging your healing potions to stave off a horrible case of death. But while the healing potion is a universal item in Diablo 4, it is a little weaker initially. Thankfully, with the help of valuable herbs growing throughout Sanctuary and an Alchemist's pot, you can increase how much it heals you per use, no matter which one of the five Diablo 4 classes you are fighting demons as. As we near the Diablo 4 release date, you may wish to familiarise yourself with the ingredients you need to upgrade the Diablo 4 healing potion.

PCGamesN Wednesday, May 24, 2023 6:14 AM  The WoW Classic community is practically falling over itself right now to deliver hot takes and memes in light of the news that Blizzard is introducing its real-money WoW Token to World of Warcraft Classic. The WoW Token is an item that awards game time, effectively giving you a 30-day subscription when used, and it can be sold via the in-game auction house for gold in the MMORPG. Unlike its modern companion, you won't be able to use your WoW Classic Tokens to buy Diablo 4, however.

PCGamesN Wednesday, May 24, 2023 5:46 AM  Metal Gear Solid 3 Remake has been a tantalizing but suitably murky prospect for a while. The Cold War stealth game and, arguably, epitome of the Hideo Kojima MGS series, a whole-new version of Snake Eater has often felt like one of those dream projects that would never actually come to fruition. According to new reports, however, it is now "hard confirmed" that Metal Gear Solid 3 is being remade by Konami and launching for PC as well as consoles. The news arrives ahead of the PlayStation Showcase on May 24, where we may possibly see initial footage of Metal Gear Solid 3 Remake, as well as more from Konami's various new Silent Hill games.

PCGamesN Wednesday, May 24, 2023 4:43 AM  Want to know more about Diablo 4 salvage? This in-game mechanic has lots of useful benefits - not least clearing out your inventory after a long and tiring day ridding Sanctuary of evil. During our own time in Sanctuary, the blacksmith has probably been our most visited townsperson, and we're well acquainted with their salvage service, so here we detail everything it offers. The blacksmith isn't just limited to salvage, and can upgrade your favorite weapons as well. However, the salvage service they offer is by far the most useful in the Diablo 4 early game, and is necessary to farm some of the materials needed for upgrade. If you only plan on running one of the Diablo 4 classes, you can also salvage items you pick up that your class can't use, and get some purpose from them. Perhaps the best use for salvage though is to obtain new wardrobe items, allowing you to wear one piece of armor or jewelry while displaying the look of another. If that sounds like something you want to make the most of come the Diablo 4 release date, here's everything you need to know about Diablo 4 salvage.

Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Wednesday, May 24, 2023 9:35 AM  I've lost countless seconds, minutes, maybe even hours to those TikTok videos showing off ludicrous marble runs. Strangers decorate their houses with mini slopes and sliding paths, they record their marbles rolling down these elaborate courses, and then they're posted online for strangers like me to mindlessly enjoy. I've now spent the last few nights building my own marble runs - not in real life, because I'm too lazy for the cleanup after - in Zen Marbles, a free playable prototype, out now. |

Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Wednesday, May 24, 2023 9:03 AM  I'm sure you're all bored of reading about how about how expensive RTX 40 series graphics cards are; I'm certainly bored of writing about it. Thank the Nvidia GeForce RTX 4060 Ti for its mercy, then – assuming you can find one at RRP, it's the first of its family not to plonk a price premium over the last-gen equivalent. And even though it's only moderately faster than the RTX 3060 Ti in most games, its efficiency improvements and DLSS 3 support ensure the RTX 4060 Ti keeps some crowd pleasing potential. |
Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Wednesday, May 24, 2023 6:13 AM  I always knew I would one day be tempted to return to Destiny 2. After three years and several thousands hours of playtime, last February I hit my limit on the garbage MMO that this phenomenal FPS is trapped inside and uninstalled. But I still adore parts, including its striking sci-fi landscapes. So when I heard the latest season was returning to the alien ocean moon of Titan, one of my favourite spots, I was tempted. Oh I was tempted! But now Season Of The Deep started yesterday and Titan is here and no, it's not enough. |

Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Wednesday, May 24, 2023 4:39 AM  Swedish developers The Bearded Ladies certainly have a type. If you've played the memorably odd Mutant Year Zero or the largely forgettable Corruption 2029, you'll know it by now – a blend of real-time stealth and turn-based tactics, where you quietly pick off stragglers from enemy squads before confronting the rest in a team scrap. Now here's Miasma Chronicles, the Ladies' third effort, and let's just say they're clearly happy to stick with what they know. While the patterns of play are to a great extent the same, though, Miasma Chronicles is a more ambitious project. Addressing criticisms that those earlier games weren't substantial enough, it's a broader, denser beast, in which you could easily spend twice as long – 30 hours or so – seeing all the sights and shooting the nasties that populate them. That means there's a lot more space available for this game to coax out varied strategies and introduce more elements, which is great. But it also means the weaker elements of the formula are left more exposed, which isn't. |

We know Touhou: New World is in development for Japan, so there could be an update on that. Loop8: Summer of Gods will launch at the beginning of June 2023 worldwide, so maybe there will be a teaser. Marvelous is also known for series like Bokujou Monogatari/Story of Seasons, so a new entry in the farming series could be announced. It also was behind some Fate/ and Senran Kagura series too.

Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection launched and basically immediately succeeded. Within about two weeks, sales figures hit a million. It's a fantastic compilation of games, and Siliconera spoke with Director Masakazu Eguchi to learn more about how it came to be. Jenni Lada: When did Capcom decide to create the Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection, and how long has it been in development? Masakazu Eguchi: The decision was made roughly two years ago. Thanks to the support of many Capcom fans over the years and their desire for Mega Man Battle Network ports, we began development for the Battle Network Legacy Collection. What sorts of challenges did the team face when preparing the games for the Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection? Eguchi: Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection supports online play, and we faced some challenges developing and reworking online features. We'd dreamed about incorporating online features since the original games released on Game Boy Advance, so it was well worth the effort. Rather than technical problems, we ran into issues locating art/illustrations, planning documents, and other data from the original releases. Some documents had gone missing since these games came out so long ago. Staff who worked on the original releases proactively helped us, and we were able to complete the project. [caption id="attachment_964638" align="alignnone" width="1200"] Many of the ideas and concepts in the Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection series still feel relevant, especially with the prominence of VR technology and metaverses. How do you feel about the enduring legacy? Eguchi: It honestly makes me happy to hear you say that! Thank you! In the world of Mega Man Battle Network, it was important to depict a near-future setting for which children who played the original games could feel a sense of longing and excitement. The fact that much of the technology depicted in the Battle Network series has become reality for us in the past 20 years helps keep our memories of the series fresh. I think it'd be a lot of fun if technology continues to advance and NetNavis truly begin to play an active role in our society! Your stories for the Mega Man Battle Network games inspired additional media adaptations. How do you feel about that, and which one do you feel best retells Lan and MegaMan.EXE's story? Eguchi: The Battle Network series has been adapted for anime, movies, and other media, but we wanted the creators for each project to depict the world of Battle Network in a way that conveys their own unique flavor. Thus, we let anime directors, manga artists, and other creators develop their adaptations freely. Of course, we reviewed scripts and outlines, but we didn't comment much on contents. The anime and manga expressed charm and emotions that couldn't be expressed in the games, which is why I think these media are loved by so many fans. [caption id="attachment_964637" align="alignnone" width="1200"] Buster MAX Mode does make the game easier, but still leaves some challenge for certain boss fights. How did you approach the balance for it? Eguchi: Buster MAX Mode allows players to land massive damage when hitting opponents with a standard Mega Buster shot. That said, some technique is required to hit enemies with the Mega Buster, and there are still some enemies that you can't defeat without the use of Battle Chips. These characters help provide a good challenge for players even when Buster MAX Mode is turned on. This has less to do with adjustments we made via Buster MAX Mode and more to do with the high quality of the original games' designs. Now that it's been so many years, which Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection game do you think aged the best? Eguchi: The most memorable game – the one that I think has the most refined visuals and battle systems – is Mega Man Battle Network 6, which can be thoroughly enjoyed even now. In terms of story, the game that I remember most fondly is Mega Man Battle Network 3. It speaks about a society where people co-exist with NetNavis, it offers a unique battle system, and there aren't many games like it. I think each game in the series has its own charm that will last for years to come. How difficult was it to collect the concept art and illustrations for the Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection Art Gallery? Is there any particular piece that you feel strongly about or was difficult to acquire? Eguchi: As mentioned previously, we ran into a few challenges while gathering art for the gallery, Battle Chip illustrations, and other creative assets. The art that we've been using for promotional purposes were all saved in the Capcom library/archives, but we also searched for and collected design illustrations, rejected concept art, and other pieces that the original designers had in their possession. The art piece that holds a particularly special place in my heart is a piece that Hayato Kaji – Art Director for Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection – drew for the first Battle Network game. This piece depicts the characteristic warmth of the Battle Network series in a cool way, and I really like it a lot. [gallery columns="1" size="full" ids="964635" link="file"] According to initial sales figures in Japan, Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection passed 60,000 in sales within its first three days on the market. Did you anticipate this kind of reaction? Eguchi: The fans' reaction to the collection exceeded our expectations. Many members of the community have been asking for ports of the Battle Network games for some time, but it fills me with great joy to know that so many fans were patiently waiting for and excited about the Battle Network games. Can you tell us about the 69 battles you won in a row and what "deck" tips you'd recommend to help players reach that same sort of achievement? Eguchi: If I were to offer any hints, the Battle Chip that allows you to execute an AreaGrab can definitely help you gain an advantage in battle. Players probably want to equip Battle Chips with strong attacks, don't forget to boost your defense with chips like Barrier, Aura, and Invisible. Chips that add Attack + abilities can be combined with multi-hit chips to unleash massive amounts of damage, so be sure to try them out. It's important to build out a Folder of Battle Chips based on how you imagine you'd attain victory. Nothing compares to the extreme excitement of pulling off a win based on strategy, not even using random powerful chips to defeat your opponent. Keep in mind that strategies you build out may not apply to all opponents. New battles provide you with new opportunities to create fresh strategies, laying the foundation to help you become a stronger and more formidable opponent. Take on many opponents and create the best strategies for you! Enjoy! Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection is available on the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and PC.
