Kotaku Monday, September 16, 2024 9:50 AM  Sony has chosen the chip manufacturer for the PlayStation 6 and it's AMD, according to a new report by Reuters. Concerns around backwards compatibility with the PS5 were apparently one of the factors in the decision-making process. |
Kotaku Monday, September 16, 2024 9:15 AM  I've heard Star Wars Outlaws described as the most "okay" game of all time, with nothing overtly exceptional standing out in its 16-hour campaign. I disagree to some extent. Ubisoft may not always strike gold, but they understand how to make an entertaining popcorn game that leaves you wanting more. Although that more … |
Kotaku Monday, September 16, 2024 8:55 AM  It's becoming a pretty set pattern at this point: Nintendo has a first-party big-name Switch title due out in a couple of weeks, then news breaks that copies of the game have already leaked online.

Created by the city-building game's community, these asset sets were originally scheduled to arrive on Monday September 30, exactly two weeks from today. But now Colossal Order says they have been pushed back so that the developer can focus on resolving issues with the CS2 base game. The Bridges and Ports expansion has also been delayed.

PCGamesN Monday, September 16, 2024 9:20 AM  What are the best Minecraft bridge designs? Thanks to the restrictions of building with blocks and straight edges, some structures are just more difficult to wrap your head around in Minecraft. While bridges can look good, and often better, as a straight horizontal line, you might want something a little more shapely. Then comes the decision of what type of bridge to build in Minecraft. Rope bridges are perhaps the most difficult to replicate, but often suit the surroundings, while large stone bridges might be a blight on the landscape in the building game. Whatever you're looking for, and wherever you're looking to build it, here are the best Minecraft bridge designs to get you started.

PCGamesN Monday, September 16, 2024 9:13 AM  How do you defend the antenna in Space Marine 2? The Tyranid-trampling horde shooter has more than its fair share of challenges. Between keeping the overwhelming number of smaller insectoids at bay and fending off Carnifex, there's a lot to keep track of. Perhaps the game's greatest obstacle, especially when playing on the hardest difficulties, surfaces when you're tasked with defending multiple structures from gargoyles. At the end of the second Space Marine 2 story mission, Skyfire, your squad will not only have to dispatch the avian threat tearing its way through the integrity bars of four antennae, but you'll also have to contest with waves of tyrannids that get progressively more difficult. It's a miserable job solo, as your AI companions can go AWOL when dealing with the gargoyles, but taking full advantage of the tools the game gives you makes it doable. Read on to learn the tech you'll need to succeed in one of the co-op game's biggest trials.

PCGamesN Monday, September 16, 2024 8:44 AM  What are all the Throne and Liberty morphs? While most MMOs typically include mounts to navigate their worlds, NCSoft's Throne and Liberty lets you transform into mystical beasts that can dash, glide, and swim across Solisium at the press of a button. Morphs are the best way to get around in Throne and Liberty, letting you descend from high places, reach remote islands, and even flee from danger in the free PC game. Most morphs are effectively cosmetic skins, but certain ones provide unique effects. So, whether you'd prefer to transform into a saber-toothed tiger, a unicorn rabbit, or an otter wearing a hat, here are all the Throne and Liberty morphs and how to unlock them.

It's another year in the NBA 2K calendar, and as is tradition there are plenty of freebies to collect. Over the lifetime of each game in the storied basketball series, 2K dishes out a slew of locker codes that can be punched in, rewarding you with everything from free packs to top-rated stars as the season progresses.

PCGamesN Monday, September 16, 2024 8:01 AM  The Throne and Liberty system requirements on Steam are low. So low, in fact, that an Nvidia GeForce RTX graphics card is nowhere to be seen. While MMORPGs tend to sit on the lower end of the scale when it comes to system demands, this didn't seem right, and thankfully, it isn't. The Steam page for Throne and Liberty doesn't match up with the game's website, so let us take you through what hardware you'll need to run Amazon's latest MMO. As expected, you won't need the best graphics card to run Throne and Liberty, and you won't need one of the latest CPUs either, with a quad-core Intel Core i5 7700 listed in the minimum spec.

PCGamesN Monday, September 16, 2024 7:59 AM  It's been an intensely troublesome few months both for Destiny 2 and its creator Bungie. In July, more than 220 Bungie employees were laid off, while a further 155 were moved to other roles within Sony Interactive. Despite the launch of The Final Shape expansion back in July, player sentiment has also grown measurably worse. As it stands, Destiny 2 has a 'mixed' rating on Steam based on recent reviews, and has lost a significant amount of its player base, at least on Valve's platform. Now, a former Bungie employee lifts the lid on how the Sony acquisition has "forced" Bungie to change its approach to Destiny 2, and suggests that several upcoming changes may actually help the troubled multiplayer FPS.

I recently got back into Magic The Gathering, and the prospect of spending anywhere above $5 for a booster pack makes me physically recoil in fear. You can get better value for your money, but then you're spending an unholy amount of cash on physical cards. Still, nothing beats going into your local shop, browsing the new sets on offer, and playing a couple of games.

Announced back in January 2021, not much was known about the upcoming Indiana Jones game apart from Machine Games, the developers of the modern Wolfenstein games, was handling it. Given Machine Games's affinity for blasting up Nazis, this pairing feels like a natural fit for cinema's greatest archaeologist. We finally got a glimpse of the action-adventure game at Xbox Developer Direct 2024, showing off one of the most anticipated upcoming games set to launch later this year.

Patches and updates can sometimes make or break your gameplay experience, especially if you're partial to mod playgrounds like Bethesda's Fallout 4. The most innocuous change can have dire consequences for your favorite mods, and in some cases only a downgrade can get them working again. Fallout London is one such mod. The popular passion project hit a roadblock following the surprise Fallout 4 next-gen update that caused a compatibility clash with many of the mod frameworks that power it. Thankfully, developer TeamFOLON has made it easier than ever to perform a Fallout 4 downgrade to roll back those changes.

You're constantly repairing corroded doors and swapping out busted engine parts with cobbled-together technology. But maybe this tinkering was a little too much. Our review praised the game for its "trunk loads of atmosphere" but called the constant need to craft stuff "laborious". If you also felt this, then good news. An update now lets you fiddle the difficulty options a generous amount, say developers Ironwood Studios, making the game easier and bringing crafting needs right down. Buuut... if you thought the opposite - that the game wasn't hard enough - you can now tick a box that makes hitting yourself with the trunk door kill you stone dead. |

Eliot's The Wasteland and Mad Max: Fury Road - a blend of influences that would typically get you kicked out of the Creative Writing Club for being simultaneously too fancy and too obvious, but the game beyond the epigraph looks pretty swish. It's "a compact and high-density Metroidvania, with a focus on sequence-breaking and playing things out of order". It uses a square aspect display ratio calibrated to give wizened Game Boy enthusiasts the shakes, and is made up of 200 single-screen rooms that "slot into the larger puzzle-box of the world". Also, you play a thorn witch who looks a bit like 1950s Tinkerbell, with a touch of Betty Boop. Here's a trailer. |

If monorails strike you as frivolous, don't worry. It's more of a Shelbyville idea. And in any case, the theodolite also lets you construct networks of pipes, power lines and rail-less tarmac roads - the ready-salted crisp of the road family. It's a chonky expansion that, in the words of lead developer Ian MacLarty, has only "scratched the surface of where this new system could go". I am predicting an eventual pivot into either themepark management or factory simulator. |

Nintendo announced it will offer two Nintendo Switch holiday bundles in 2024, and both of them will include Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. One is a standard model, while the other is an OLED one. They will both be available in stores in October 2024.
While the models included in the 2024 Nintendo Switch holiday bundles are similar, the main difference is the price. Both of them net someone a Switch model. That gets you the system with the blue and red Joy-Cons. It also includes the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe download code. You get 12 months of a Nintendo Switch Online Individual Membership tier subscription, which means it applies to only your account, so you can play MK8D or other games online. The OLED one gets you one with white Joy-Cons. You also get the download code for the racing game and Nintendo Switch Online subscription. The standard one costs $299.99, and the OLED version is $349.99.
Nintendo shared a brief teaser video that also showed the two different boxes for these two models. The imagery is similar for both.
The standard version of this bundle should look familiar. It's almost identical to the one released in 2023. The only difference is that last year, only three months of Nintendo Switch Online was included in the package.

HoYoVerse announced that there will be elements of Honkai: Star Rail coming to Honkai Impact 3rd. There's no exact release date for the upcoming crossover yet, but we do know that it will appear in the game when the 7.9 update arrives later in 2024.
To help provide some context for those unfamiliar with Honkai Impact 3rd, the latest version update was 7.7. It launched on September 5, 2024. In addition to the new story segments, its major addition was the inclusion of the Theresa Apocalypse Battlesuit. This means we should see it within the next few months.
There are no details about what the crossover will consist of just yet. There's only a vague image showing both games' logos and a teaser trailer with characters like the Trailblazer, Welt, Jing Yuan, Bailu, Kiana, and Senadina.
Here's that logo:

It's been a while since there was a crossover for Honkai Impact 3rd, and there haven't been any in Honkai: Star Rail just yet. The last Honkai Impact 3rd one involved the Trigger anime movie Promare. Battlesuit costumes and a Stigma inspired by the film appeared.
Honkai Impact 3rd is available for PCs and mobile devices. Honkai: Star Rail is on the PS5, PC, and mobile devices.
