Kotaku Wednesday, June 26, 2024 4:15 PM  We're halfway through 2024 now, and this year has carried over two significant trends for the video game industry from 2023 into 2024: a lot of excellent games are coming out, and, unfortunately, the people who make them are suffering.

Kotaku Wednesday, June 26, 2024 4:10 PM  Star Wars is a lot of things, but it is rarely sexy. A few things spring to mind: Anakin Skywalker's bare chest after a nightmare, Padme's midriff in the fighting pit, or a sidelong glance from Han Solo, but in recent history the franchise has been somewhat devoid of sex and death.

PCGamesN Wednesday, June 26, 2024 5:51 PM  There are conflicts that have been seen so many times in gaming that they almost become background noise. World War 2 in particular almost has become a default setting, something that may be robbing our cultural memories of the true horror of that conflict. The Korean War, on the other hand, has barely been touched by gaming. That's about to change, with the latest in the IL-2 flight simulator games taking to the skies of this forgotten conflict in the newly announced Korea IL-2 Series.

PCGamesN Wednesday, June 26, 2024 4:03 PM  One of the joys of the Steam Early Access program is seeing game development happen in almost real time. Some games have a long road ahead of them, others emerge almost fully-formed, but either way the to-and-fro between developer and community creates an incredibly exciting opportunity. Hades 2 is a game that arrived in a very solid condition, but is no less taking on board community feedback as it barrels towards its launch. Today's patch shows that, with plenty of fan ideas hitting the game.

PCGamesN Wednesday, June 26, 2024 1:52 PM  It's an odd time for anything with superheroes. For the first time in nearly 16 years, the world seems to be suffering from superhero fatigue. After tons of Marvel films of - to be generous - varying levels of quality, people seem to no longer have the same excitement for capes and super shenanigans.

Developer Creative Assembly is already working on what's next, with some heavy-hitting names on the cards for the Ogre Kingdoms, Khorne, and the Orcs and Goblins. Crucially, this next set of updates will lean in exclusively on the game's most-popular mode, Immortal Empires, rather than featuring new campaigns for the Realm of Chaos.

PCGamesN Wednesday, June 26, 2024 12:02 PM  While League of Legends will always be the game I default back to, I can't deny I don't enjoy its lack of flexibility. New modes like Arenas and the upcoming Swarm definitely combat that feeling of repetition, but ultimately I find my Summoner's Rift games blur into a mash of blue, green, brown, and expletives. What entices me towards Supervive, the new MOBA from Theorycraft Games, is that sense of variety - no two matches feel the same. Given a lot of the team are former Rioters - you'll probably recognize CEO Joe 'New001' Tung as a League's ex-vice executive president - I asked executive producer Jessica Nam (former LoL executive producer and vice president) what lessons the team has learned from League, and how they're implemented in Supervive.

PCGamesN Wednesday, June 26, 2024 12:21 PM  Several Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 Ti Super cards are reportedly being made with a different GPU from previous cards, with graphics card manufacturers apparently replacing the standard RTX 4070 Ti chip with the larger chip used in the flagship RTX 4090. Before you get excited, though, this sadly doesn't mean these new RTX 4070 Ti cards are going to run at RTX 4090 speeds. Released at the start of 2024, the RTX 4070 Ti Super updated the previous RTX 4070 Ti in several key ways. Nvidia increased the VRAM from 12GB to 16GB, widened the memory interface, and added 768 more CUDA cores as well, making it a more powerful gaming graphics card in every way. This wasn't enough to propel the GPU onto our best graphics card guide, but it was definitely an improvement.

Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Wednesday, June 26, 2024 2:08 PM  Dragon Age: The Veilguard consultant and former Dragon Age executive producer Mark Darrah has published a Youtube video addressing the question: "why do AAA games take so long?" It's a tidy 25 minutes or so, and gets a fair way into the weeds of a variety of topics, from the current enthusiasm for live service "forever games" over 'finite', narrative-led affairs, to the "misleading" announcement of highly-demanded sequels years before they enter full production, in order to pump up a publisher's brand during a dry spell. One thing I wanted to fish out and drop on your plate is Darrah's discussion of what he terms "the fidelity death cult" - that is, the desire for ever greater levels of lifelike visual detail and "intricacy". |

Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Wednesday, June 26, 2024 1:21 PM  Atari 50 was already a fairly comprehensive offering of retro games spanning half a century, launching in late 2022 as a playable museum of sorts charting the classic publisher's output across arcade machines, the 2600, 5200, 7800 and Jaguar home consoles, 8-bit computers and the Lynx handheld. The more than 100 games included at launch was far from stingy, with an extra dozen being added in a free update at the end of last year. Now the collection will add almost 40 more games in an upcoming 'Expanded Edition', taking its total game count to over 150. |

Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Wednesday, June 26, 2024 12:18 PM  Dead Rising is a proper gem, taking an overdone trope - zombies in a shopping centre - and turning it into a brilliantly quirky and challenging survival game that fully delivers on the madcap joy of using anything you can find to mow down hordes of the undead and then snap photos of them. Truly a proto-Instagram-era Nostradamus. Almost ten years after the first game came to PC, and upsettingly close to 20 years from its debut, the original Dead Rising is coming back in a fresh remaster. |
Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Wednesday, June 26, 2024 12:10 PM  The thing everybody forgets about Sisyphus is that he was an absolutely awful bastard who deserved everything he got. Prior to being the guy who has to push a boulder up a hill for all eternity, Sisyphus was a crafty Ephyran tyrant who used to murder his guests for kicks, and who once fathered children with his own niece in a bid to depose his own brother. Charming! The Ancient Greek gods were outraged both by the king's violation of the norms of hospitality, and by his general insistence on being too clever by half - and I feel a similar way reading the Xitter feed of Bashir "ManliestDev" Kashalo, who is making a game in which you play as Sisyphus after his eventual demotion to Hell's chief rock-pusher. |

For the 20th Anniversary of the Monster Hunter Series, Capcom took fan votes on their favorite theme music from the series. A recent video showcased the top ten, and the Valstrax Monster Hunter song "Silver-Winged Scarlet Star" took first place.
"Silver-Winged Scarlet Star" is the theme song for Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate flagship monster Valstrax. Capcom released an entirely new arrangement of the track in honor of it taking first. The rocket-powered hawk-dragon also received a variant in Monster Hunter Rise. That is The Crimson Glow Valstrax.
The YouTube video of this new EDM version of the track can be listened to below:
The other big winners of the fan poll were a collection of classics from across various generations. A number of them happened to be updated renditions re-vamped for Monster Hunter World. Among the selected tracks were the Fatalis theme "The Legend Descends - World Version," and the Raging Brachydios song "Brutish Indigo Rages." Other appearances were "Moonquake," the music for Ceadeus from Monster Hunter Tri and 3 Ultimate, alongside "Spark of Blue," the theme of fan-favorite monster Zinogre. Another was "Splendiferous Silver Sovereign," the theme of the Velkhana from Monster Hunter World: Iceborne. Not to be left out, the theme of the Lagiacrus called "Tremors on Land and Sea," secured a spot.
The full "Hunter's Choice: Top 10 Monster Themes" video from Capcom can be viewed here:
This is the most recent announcement tied to the 20th Anniversary of Monster Hunter. A website celebrating the series' history was set up in addition to the polls for this and other fan favorite topics. Earlier in 2024, Capcom held a similar poll determining what the fans' favorite Monster was. The winner of this poll was Zinogre.
Monster Hunter World and its expansion, Iceborne, are available on the PS4, PS5, PC and Xbox. Monster Hunter Rise, the newest entry, and its expansion Sunbreak, are available on the PS4, PS5, PC and Xbox. Monster Hunter Wilds will be arriving on the PS5, Xbox One X, and PC in 2025.

An announcement on the official Dead or Alive Xtreme: Venus Vacation Facebook page revealed the next new character will launch simultaneously worldwide. Her identity is a secret, though the reveal is set for a stream that appears at 4am PT/7am ET on June 27, 2024.
The announcement stream will feature Maria Naganawa, who voices Koharu, as a host alongside Reina Kondo. Kondo plays the new character. The video will only be in Japanese and Chinese, but the slides with new character and update information will include English.
Here's the placeholder for the stream on YouTube:
As Kondo never voiced anyone in the DOA series before, we don't have any hints ahead of time about the new Dead or Alive Xtreme: Venus Vacation character. However, you may recognize the voice actress from roles like Aru in Blue Archive, Hiori in The Idolmaster: Shiny Colors, and Sakura in Horimiya.
While this will mark the first time a Dead or Alive Xtreme: Venus Vacation character appeared worldwide simultaneously, there was a situation in the past where the release dates were very close. When Tina Armstrong joined the game as part of DOA25th anniversary celebrations, she showed up almost everywhere at the same time. So people on DMM, Steam, and Johren could all recruit her in the gacha, with her joining in January or February 2022 depending on where people played.
Dead or Alive Xtreme: Venus Vacation is available on PC via Steam, DMM, and Johren. Even though an English version is available, it is region-locked. So you can only play it Japan and Asia.

In the latest 1.12.22 Elden Ring patch, a major shift to Shadow Realm Blessings in the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC occurred. The Scadutree and Ash Remnant Blessings conferred by the key items dotted across the new areas tilted in favor of the earliest few levels.
Bandai Namco and FromSoftware released the Elden Ring patch on June 26, 2024. There are no major adjustments to weapons or stat balancing, but the big change is in how the Shadow Realm Blessings affect your character. Previously, they were much more gradual, incentivizing players to try and hunt down many of the Scadutree Fragments and Revered Spirit Ash pieces as possible to survive the damage of the new zones. Bosses and many stronger enemies could kill you in one or two hits without sufficient Blessings.
Now, with these changes, the Shadow Realm Blessings are weighted far heavier in Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree to help players in the earlier levels. The first half of the 20 levels of the Shadow Realm Blessing now confer much more damage and damage negation, while the back half retain their more gradual increase. The idea is that these changes will make the game more accessible to people burned by the different leveling and scaling, as well as make repeat ventures through the Shadow Realm less taxing.
Here are the full patch notes for Elden Ring 1.12.22:
Elden Ring is available on the PS4, PS5, PC, and Xbox. Shadow of the Erdtree is also available now,

Soldier 11 is a Zenless Zone Zero character we've known about since the earliest announcements tied to the game way back in June 2022. Now that the game is about to launch in July 2024, HoYoVerse shared a new trailer highlighting her training regimen.
The video focuses on the combat prowess of Soldier 11 in Zenless Zone Zero. She never actually speaks or interacts with anyone in a peaceful way. A computer program begins by saying her ID has been verified, identifying her and noting that her training program will begin. It also noted that it is at the highest difficulty level and setting. She then faces an array of robots in a controlled setting. Later in the video, we see how she might also use those same skills in a real combat situation.
Soldier 11 will be an S-rank character in Zenless Zone Zero. Her slash attacks have a fire element to them. She's the only OBOLS Squad character revealed for the game so far. She's also a mystery in many ways, as her whole past is redacted. So we don't know her real name or motivations, just her code name.
Zenless Zone Zero will come to the PS5, PC, and mobile devices on July 4, 2024, and the Special Program for 1.0 airs at 4am PT/3am ET/12pm BST on June 28, 2024. As she appeared in the beta tests, it is likely Soldier 11 will be one of the always-available S rank characters in the game.

Now that FFXIV Dawntrail early access is upon us, Square Enix started celebrating in the real world with art and an Aetheryte installation. While the Aetheryte appeared for a London gathering on June 24, 2024, the Los Angeles mural will appear for a longer period.
With the King's Cross FFXIV Aetheryte, it was specifically and temporarily installed for the event. Even people who didn't make it into the sold-out fan gathering were able to visit and post pictures with it. Here's the first picture of it when Square Enix initially set it up:
And when it closed out for the evening, the company posted another photo on social media that showed how the FFXIV Aetheryte replica actually glowed.
The latest installation is at the Hotel Figueroa in Los Angeles, California. This is a building near the Los Angeles Convention Center, where Anime Expo 2024 will be held between July 4-8, 2024. It often is used as a canvas for video game advertisements, with many similar sorts of images showing up during events like E3. The first photo shared by Square Enix showed FFXIV Dawntrail art of the Viera Erenville being painted, however a follow-up tweet by user Ted__Chang showed the Warrior of Light with expansion logo and G'raha Tia also appeared.
Final Fantasy XIV is available for the PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X, and PC, and the Dawntrail expansion will arrive on July 2, 2024. Early access kicks off on June 28, 2024.
