PCGamesN Thursday, October 10, 2024 7:41 AM  A new leak is hinting at a brand new AMD Radeon graphics card that could become an affordable option for gamers. The rumor, straight from the leak mines on X (formerly Twitter), seems to suggest that the new AMD Radeon RX 7650 GRE will be announced at the next CES trade show in January 2025. This wouldn't be the first AMD card to use the GRE branding, with the AMD Radeon RX 7900 GRE making it onto our best graphics cards shortlist as the best mid-range GPU you can buy. However, we would expect the new card to be a far more affordable option, based on its model number. MORE FROM PCGAMESN: Ryzen 7 7800X3D review, Best gaming CPU, Radeon RX 7800 XT review |

PCGamesN Thursday, October 10, 2024 6:56 AM  The Red Dead Redemption system requirements have landed, and performance is set to be outstanding on RTX 4000 series GPUs thanks to the inclusion of Nvidia DLSS 3.7 and Frame Generation. That being said, if your system is a little dated, good graphics and a strong frame rate won't be too hard to come by thanks to some low hardware demands. While you won't need the best graphics card to play Red Dead Redemption on PC, having one of Nvidia's top pixel pushers, like the GeForce RTX 4080 Super, will give you access to Nvidia DLSS 3.7 and all the performance-enhancing tech that comes with it.

PCGamesN Thursday, October 10, 2024 6:51 AM  Unless you're a long-time Star Citizen player, you can be forgiven for finding the space MMO a little confusing. Vast, complex, and with its own digital economy and politics, Star Citizen needs to offer more players an easier way in. This is the job of Squadron 42. Fronted by a cadre of A-list acting talent, including Gary Oldman, Mark Hamill, and Gillian Anderson, the long-awaited Star Citizen campaign mode will be a contained single-player experience that serves also as a foothold on the rest of the game proper. Cloud Imperium previously confirmed it was feature complete. Now, with Citizencon around the corner, the developer shares some more insight into how Squadron 42 is shaping up.

PCGamesN Thursday, October 10, 2024 6:39 AM  Silent Hill 2 Remake's Nurses, Mannequins, Lying Figures, and other horrific monsters are enough to send shivers up your spine (especially when they catch you off guard), but its bosses are the real threat. Flesh Lip and Abstract Daddy are grotesque, but the game's most famous face is arguably Pyramid Head. Thanks to this mod, though, you can swap this metallic monster for a classic childhood character - surely he's more friendly?

If you've been doing the same, you might have noticed that one key change in the DLC is a requirement to grab lots of crafting materials for essentials such as potion upgrades. These can be a bit of a pain to get your hands on, requiring you to go out of your way to collect them, but thankfully a new Diablo 4 hotfix update is here to help.

The mod scene for ConcernedApe's acclaimed life sim has been thriving on PC despite having no official Steam Workshop support.

Fortunately, developer Hoyoverse occasionally sends out gifts in the form of Genshin redeem codes.

PCGamesN Thursday, October 10, 2024 5:38 AM  What is the Silent Hill 2 hospital code? Brookhaven Hospital is a location that strikes fear into the heart of any Silent Hill fan, but progressing beyond the hospital's lobby is far trickier in Bloober's remake than in the original. Silent Hill 2 is as much a puzzle game as it is horror, which can present a bigger challenge to your progression than the enemies themselves. The Silent Hill 2 reception office padlock stands between you and the horrors of this nightmare hospital, and you've got to solve it if you want to reach any of the Silent Hill 2 endings. If you're trapped in the reception office, we can walk you through how to find the hospital code in all difficulty modes.

PCGamesN Thursday, October 10, 2024 5:34 AM  What is the Silent Hill 2 safe code for Room 206? Your trek through Wood Side Apartments in the Silent Hill 2 remake will take you through Room 206, which you can only access via the wardrobe in Room 208. Once you've affixed the Golden Apple Handle and pushed the wardrobe to one side to enter Room 206, the gap in the wall closes, leaving you trapped inside. The only way out is to solve the Room 206 safe puzzle, a new addition to the Silent Hill 2 remake. Like the Silent Hill 2 motel safe code, the Wood Side Apartments safe solution varies depending on your difficulty mode. That said, it's not completely random.

Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Thursday, October 10, 2024 7:52 AM  Paradox Interactive delayed jail management simulator Prison Architect 2 indefinitely this August, commenting at the time that the game had notable performance issues, and that its system-led design was proving tricky to tinker with. This came a couple of months after the Crusader Kings publisher washed their hands of the sequel's original developers, Double Eleven. Speaking to me at Paradox's Media Day last week, deputy chief executive officer Mattias Lilja offered a shade more insight on the decision, suggesting that hard-up players have "higher expectations" at present and are less trusting that developers will fix problems. Chief creative officer Henrik Fåhraeus also offered thoughts on what Paradox have learned from the disastrous launch of Cities: Skylines 2 in late 2023. Specifically, he said they need to give actual players access to the game early on, not just testers. |
Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Thursday, October 10, 2024 6:09 AM  An Italian-language only quirk with Bloober Team's Silent Hill 2 Remake almost spoiled the entire plot for fans playing in that language, but was fortunately caught in time for the day one patch to make changes. As spotted by PC Gamer, some garbled lines the player hears upon first picking up the game's radio weren't quite garbled enough in the Italian subtitles, accidentally dropping a massive plot spoiler in the first half hour. Stop reading now if you're still playing, obviously. Here's a video of a cat that sounds like he's saying "bongiorno" you can watch instead. |
Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Thursday, October 10, 2024 5:32 AM  Coffee Stain Publishing have fully revealed Goat Simulator Remastered, a spruced-up take on 2014's open world, ragdolling livestock sandbox with all of the original's DLC included. I played a bit of this at Gamescom in August, and while the trailer below is proof positive that the remaster does indeed look newer and shinier, in the moment I couldn't shake the idea from my memory banks that this was just how Goat Sim always looked. |
Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Thursday, October 10, 2024 4:08 AM  It's always vaguely reassuring to see your own card mentioned by name in the recommended specs for a new release - even if that new release is just a slightly pomaded-up version of 14-year-old open world console game Red Dead Redemption. I could write a laborious metaphor about someone coming looking for me in a saloon using whatever that literary technique that Irvine Welsh does is called where you spell out the accents, but I won't bother. I simply do not have another tarnation in me. Perhaps a root. Don't even talk to me about a toot. Here's the specs, as per the Steam page. |
