The prices of high-capacity SSDs are plummeting right now, and WD has just closed the gap between 4TB hard drives and SSDs further with its latest drive. The new WD Blue SN5000 4TB has an MSRP of just $279.99, and it's not just a low-speed SATA drive either.

While WD is aiming the Blue SN5000 at creative professionals, rather than people looking for the best SSD for gaming right now, this M.2 drive still has a decent spec for the price. It uses the PCIe 4.0 interface, and WD claims the 4TB drive can hit a sequential read speed of up to 5,500MB/s.

While the Nvidia RTX 4070 may have been displaced by the RTX 4070 Super as our pick of the best graphics card overall, the 4070 is still a great choice for smaller gaming PCs, or for gamers on a tighter budget.

     Jurassic Park Survival release date estimate and latest news

What is the Jurassic Park Survival release date? This is the latest game taking on the Jurassic Park series, first announced at The Game Awards 2023. Jurassic Park Survival is an action-adventure game, leaning away from the previous Jurassic World Evolution sim management games, and it looks like instead of saving and protecting dinosaurs, we'll be trying to survive them.

The upcoming action-adventure game takes inspiration from Capcom's Dino Crisis to create an intense survival experience where anything can and probably will try to kill you. Jurassic Park Survival takes place immediately after the events of the original Jurassic Park story. As Dr. Maya Joshi, an InGen scientist who could not evacuate Isla Nublar when the dinosaurs broke out of their enclosures, it's up to you to find your way out of the park and evacuate from the island. Plenty will wonder if the dinosaur game will meet our wild collective expectations for a game like this. So when is the Jurassic Park Survival release date?

Want to know what Genshin Impact outfits are available? The outfits system was introduced in the Genshin Impact 1.6 update, following months of pleading from the community. These outfits give you the chance to dress your favourite characters in brand-new clothes.

As Genshin Impact characters are locked behind gacha mechanics in the free PC game, players were initially worried that skins may be sold using the same system. However, there are actually two methods to unlock skins: purchase the skin for 1,680 Genesis Crystals, or complete specific Genshin Impact events to unlock the skin for free. If you're unlucky enough to miss the event, free skins will make their way to the Character Outfit Shop in the future.

During my 50-hour Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree playthrough, I set about scaling the gnarled tree branches of the Ancient Ruins of Rauh believing a secret or treasure awaited me at the very top. An hour later and over a hundred thousand runes lighter, I realized it was all for naught. Yet it's the promise of exploring a mysterious world filled with potential secrets and rewards that makes the game so special. Back in 2022, we hailed Elden Ring as FromSoftware's masterpiece, one that "lights the path ahead for open-world games in general." Its Shadow of the Erdtree expansion, meanwhile, reinforces this idea even more, boasting memorable and befuddling areas and - yes - the soulslike staple of occasionally rage-inducing bosses.

     Your next graphics card could use a fiber optic connection

Computers have taken advantage of the ultra-fast communication speed that fiber optics can provide for a long time. However, this is the first time it could potentially become a standard internal component of our PCs, with semiconductor fiber optics specialist Cadence demonstrating a new fiber optic PCIe 7.0 interface.

The world's first demonstration is still a proof of concept rather than a definite finished product, but it shows the potential of the technology. The interface can clock in at 128GT/s (242GB/s for an x16 connection), which is four times faster than the current 32GT/s (63GB/s for x16) rate of PCIe 5.0. It's too early to know if it will be a technology that finds its way into the best gaming motherboards of the near future, but it's an interesting concept nonetheless.

With Shadow Of The Erdtree about to launch this week, From Software president Hidetaka Miyazaki has been doing a round of interviews discussing next steps for the venerated action-RPG developer, or at least, hinting at them in the manner of a Dark Souls NPC suggesting that you might want to have a poke around New Anor Londo. In one such chat, Miyazaki strays perilously close to airing the "themes or core elements" of whatever game or games FromSoftware are working on post-Elden Ring, commenting that he has been inspired, albeit perhaps in a "short-term way", by the experience of having a daughter.

I'd been in Paris to see open world action-RPG Shadow Of The Erdtree early and when I got back, Edwin messaged me. He asked whether I thought it was big enough to consider the DLC a pseudo-sequel, and at the time I said something along the lines of, "It's hefty, but I think that's probably pushing it".

I was wrong. The Land Of Shadow may not be as expansive as the base game's Lands Between, but it's knottier, denser, more of a twisting mass that burrows into the earth and soars into the skies. For this reason I think it produces some of Elden Ring's finest moments, as exploration leads to a truer sense of discovery reminiscent of old Souls. But I also think its sheer density exposes more chinks in its open world format, where its interconnected sprawl leads to even greater recollection paralysis.

The Remake Of The End Of The Greatest RPG Of All Time, or TROTEOTGRPGOAT for, uh, short, is a game that exists. I normally wouldn't let such an opaque stub of a description survive outside of a quick Trello reminder to write something better later, but I'm currently finding it fulfilling enough just to gaze upon that title and consider the fully formed art object that may soon emerge from its tantalising promises.

You forgot about Habbo Hotel, didn't you? Habbo Hotel. With those words and the above image, it is possible I have sent a shocking dose of neurochemical nostalgia through your brain and into your various internal organs. Your vision blurs. You sweat. You are 12 years old again, frightened and intrigued at the idea of graduating to teenhood, bathing in the cool glow of a cream-coloured CRT computer monitor. "Habbo Hotel is back!" is what I might shout if I did not know better, snapping you back to the present day in an act of psychological whiplash. The truth is the pixellated hangout zone of the early 2000s never went away. It has been alive this whole time. You forgot about the Hotel. But the Hotel did not forget about you.

Today, developers Sulake are doing something to jog your memory. They are calling it Habbo Hotel: Origins. I ask you to think carefully before you go there.

Edwin backstory fragment #345: the greatest usage to which I have ever put my failing grasp of mathematics is determining how many different RPGs I could buy using the "same" money, by dint of trading them in promptly at Gamestation for carefully calculated diminishing returns. I'd save up to buy one of the premium headliners, attempt to get my money's worth inside a week, then swap it for a respected double-A and perhaps a sub-£8 oddity with the manual missing - nesting one purchase within the other like a series of Matryoshka dolls.

This was my Big Short, my Moneyball. But it had a drawback: often, I was so eager to leapfrog to another game before the trade-in price changed that I skimmed RPGs that are now considered classics. The big one was Suikoden 2, which I spent only an evening with before gambling that I'd eke more FunValue out of a game with a less traditional battle system. I can't remember what I traded that for, which says it all. Another was Baten Kaitos on Gamecube, which - yes, we are finally getting to the point here - has just been rereleased on Steam in the shape of a Baten Kaitos I & II HD Remaster. I can't remember what I traded Baten Kaitos for either, which again, says it all. Please, gentle reader - be better.

Life By You, the Sims-like management game previously troubled by several delays, has been canceled by Paradox Interactive, and Californian studio Paradox Tectonic have been shut down. The news of the game's cancellation came last night through a forum post, with Paradox deputy CEO Mattias Lilja painting a picture of a game still too "lacking" for more development time to fix. This morning, it emerged that Paradox Tectonic, the studio working on the game, have been shuttered, via GameWatcher.

A Switch remake of classic RPG Romancing SaGa 2: Revenge of the Seven was announced at the 2024 Summer Nintendo Direct. The game is set to come to the console on October 24, 2024.

The game is a full remake of the 1993 RPG originally released on the Super Famicom/SNES.

Samus sees Sylux and he is reflected in her visor

In the June 2024 Nintendo Direct, Metroid Prime 4 made a triumphant return and the game, which has been dormant for seven years with no updates, is now Metroid Prime 4: Beyond. Nintendo offered a release window of 2025 and shared a full trailer.

The trailer showcased the new title and its dark purple color scheme. It began with a look at Samus' new ship. From there, we saw Morph-Ball maneuvering, first-person shooting, and the scanning mechanic. The video involved her exploring a Galactic Federation facility under attack and encountering the space pirate assault. It confirmed that the game will look and feel a lot like the classic Metroid Prime first-person exploration gameplay.

However, gameplay and space pirates are not all that the trailer had to offer. It also showed a person who looks a lot like Sylux from Metroid Prime Hunters and the secret ending of Metroid Prime 3: Corruption.

We can view the trailer for the new entry in the series here:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mMAgmdR8jwU

It has been seven years since Metroid Prime 4 was announced, with no major updates or insights into how it looks or what it would become from Retro Studios. We do know development restarted in 2019. Also, many times Retro ended up hiring for roles related to it. It will be the first Metroid Prime on Switch since the remaster of the original.

Metroid Prime 4: Beyond will be available for the Nintendo Switch in 2025

The trailer promises that Super Mario Party Jamboree will be the biggest Mario Party game to date. The game will feature five new boards, including Rainbow Galleria, Roll 'Em Raceway, Goomba Lagoon, Mega Wiggler's Tree Party and King Bowser's Keep. Rainbow Galleria is a mall-themed board where stars will go on sale randomly. Roll Em Raceway is based on a racetrack and features special turbo dice. Goomba Lagoon will feature a changing water level that alters the path of the board.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lKp9cD4e8ac

As well as the new boards, the game will also feature Mario's Rainbow Castle from the original Mario Party and Western Land from Mario Party 2.

In addition, there will be over 110 minigames, including motion-based games. There will also be a new mode called Koopathon, in which up to 20 players can compete online.

This is the latest game in the Mario Party series since Mario Party Superstars in 2021. Mario Party 3 also released as part of the Nintendo Switch Online N64 collection in 2023.

Super Mario Party Jamboree will release for Switch on October 17, 2024.

Nintendo revealed a new game in the Legend of Zelda series, titled The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom, and this game marks a significant shift by letting you play Princess Zelda. She will be the main protagonist for the first time, and people will get to play it on September 26, 2024.

Nintendo shared the announcement trailer below. It begins with an introduction that explains why Zelda would suddenly be the character you play as in the new The Legend of Zelda game. The actual Nintendo Direct also offered an extensive look at gameplay.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=94RTrH2erPE

This new entry is a puzzle platformer that introduces an Echo ability for Zelda. This ability allows players to copy objects and enemies, adding a strategic element to the gameplay. This mechanic is designed to provide interesting ways to solve puzzles and engage in combat. The visual aesthetic of The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom is also reminiscent of the Link's Awakening remake's signature art style. 

In conjunction with the game's launch, Nintendo will also release a special edition Switch Lite system. The Hyrule Edition will be available on the same day. It is the first gold Switch Lite model, and it features the Triforce on the back.

hundred line last defense academy danganronpa creators game

During the June 18, 2024 Nintendo Direct stream, Nintendo showed off a trailer for The Hundred Line: Last Defense Academy. It'll come out in early 2025, and it is the newest game from the creators behind the Danganronpa series.

The first game trailer started by introducing protagonist Takumi Sumino, who is a high school boy. Random enemies attacked Japan before a school mascot of sorts, which looks like Shinigami from Master Detective Archives: Rain Code when she's in her ghost form, appears before Takumi. It forces him to enroll at Last Defense Academy, where he encounters fifteen other students. The mission is to defend the school from the same invaders, which is done by playing in a TRPG style to send out units. It seems like you will potentially lose students permanently as you play as well. However, it's unclear if these losses will occur during the story (like in Danganronpa) or if through gameplay (like in Fire Emblem).

You can watch the first trailer for The Hundred Line: Last Defense Academy here. Like the Danganronpa game series, hope and despair is highlighted. It also showcases how the player will be working alongside a group of students who will take shelter at an academy and attempt to fight back.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ybTx8StTllQ

The creators of Danganronpa were the ones who created The Hundred Line: Last Defense Academy. Aside from the art, which features character designs from Rui Komatsuzaki, Kazutaka Kodaka wrote the story. The story and presentation also seem to take heavy cues from Danganronpa, especially in the part where there are sixteen students in total at a strange post-apocalyptic academy. More information on the game will appear later on.

The Hundred Line -Last Defense Academy- will appear on the Nintendo Switch in early 2025.

nintendo switch stray

During the June 18, 2024 Nintendo Direct stream, Nintendo revealed a trailer for the Switch version of Stray. It'll come out during the 2024 holiday season.

You can watch the trailer here:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MwTn2hMv_Ng

Stray originally came out in 2022 for the PS4, PS5, and Windows PC. You play as an orange cat who accidentally falls into a city full of robots and machines. In order to help the cat escape and return home, you must explore the world by leaping on platforms or scaling objects. A drone also helps the cat as a sort of inventory, and you can also use it to hack various objects around the map. Though the game features a cute cat, the world is a very hostile one. Part of the game also revolves around escaping various robots who won't hesitate to kill it.

The game was highly popular for its gameplay and narrative. It also won several awards since it came out. For example, it was the PlayStation Game of the Year during the 2022 Golden Joystick Awards and won Most Innovative Gameplay in The Steam Awards 2023. Though it didn't win, it got a nomination for Game of the Year in 2022.

Stray will come out on the Nintendo Switch some time during the holiday season of 2024. It is also available on the PS4, PS5, Windows PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and macOS.

Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D

Square Enix has been coy concerning information about Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake, with very little information coming out since the announcement of the remake in May 2021. However, it recently invited Siliconera to give the game a spin and see what playing this HD-2D remake of a classic Dragon Quest title would be like.

I was able to sit down and play Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake during Summer Game Fest, and I was not disappointed. Granted, I have never played Dragon Quest 3, so I'm coming at this from the perspective of a newcomer. A majority of the Dragon Quest games I did play were a part of the Monster series, and knowing that Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D will be the place to start for those unfamiliar with the series was a relief.

Chronologically, Dragon Quest 3 takes place before the first Dragon Quest game, which Square Enix stressed. It would make sense that this game would be given the HD-2D treatment, and then subsequently released on modern platforms. Players assume the role of a nameless hero who is accompanied by a small party as they set out on a quest to defeat the fiend Baramos who is intent on destroying the world.

The section of the game that I was able to play took place at the beginning, which allowed me to explore one of the starting villages and really soak in the visual changes in Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D. Generally, I'm not a huge fan of HD-2D, since a lot of the finer details of pixel sprites are often hard to see through bloom and other visual effects like blur, like in Octopath Traveler, but the game is gorgeous. There is just the right amount of detail and saturation to make the sprites pop and the bloom effect isn't overwhelming. I spent some time wandering the town and talking to NPCs, trying to buy weapons and armor I couldn't afford, and meandering for a bit before I decided to make my way to the overworld map.

Fields of green were dotted with tightly condensed trees to make up small forests, which were home to a variety of monsters, including the iconic slime. Combat takes place from a first person perspective, with the menu allocated to the upper lefthand side of the screen. The monsters are pulled forward in perspective to give the background some depth, and their designs look great in the HD-2D style. Now, the game was a bit harder than anticipated. But we were warned that Dragon Quest 3 isn't the easiest game in the franchise by far. So I more or less just spent my time battling slimes and other creatures, getting the hang of the turn-based combat system and just soaking in how pretty the game was.

It was a good enough taste of what Dragon Quest 3: HD-2D Remake will be like on release, and has me excited. The game is gorgeous and the combat is cut and dry enough that it seems approachable to newcomers. Overall, I think Square Enix made the right decision to choose this art style for the HD-2D remake and that in choosing to remake Dragon Quest 3, that this could be the perfect place for those new to the franchise to jump in.

Dragon Quest 3: HD-2D Remake is currently in development and will come to the Nintendo Switch, PS5, Xbox Series X, and PC on November 14, 2024.
