PCGamesN Friday, October 7, 2022 7:42 PM  Looking at the A Plague Tale: Requiem system requirements, it appears that the stealth game will be able to cater to a wide variety of gaming PCs. However, you'll need a current generation graphics card if you're hoping to meet the recommended specs. RELATED LINKS: Best SSD for gaming, How to build a gaming PC, Best gaming CPU |
Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Friday, October 7, 2022 6:44 PM  Graphics cards are getting bigger, hotter and more expensive - and that first one is more of a problem than you might think. With the RTX 4090 and a whole family of oversized GPUs on the way, those tiny PCIe slots on your motherboard are taking on an incredible amount of weight, such that even mid-range cards can sag and bend over time. The best way to prevent this is with a brace, which pushes up from the bottom of your case to the far end of the graphics card, holding it level and preventing all that force from affecting the card or the PCIe slot. You sometimes get a support brace like this free with your graphics card, but otherwise you can pick one up fairly inexpensively from a range of manufacturers. |

This GP66 Leopard is one of the fastest gaming laptops on the market, with a Core i7 processor, 16GB of RAM, 1TB NVMe SSD and a 144Hz screen - not to mention that flagship-grade graphics card. It normally retails for a cool £1998, but today Laptops Direct has discounted it to £1399.97, making it the cheapest RTX 3080 laptop we can find right now. |

On October 4, 2022, Nexon announced that its gacha RPG Blue Archive will be split into two versions. Each version will have a different age rating, corresponding to one version having some of its artwork "censored" and the other having the artwork as it exists currently. To be more precise, they will be the "version with adjusted resources" and the "R-18 version." The R-18 version of the game will have a higher age rating. [Thanks, Automaton!] Blue Archive Producer Kim Yong-ha explained the situation in a post dated on October 4th. According to Kim, the Korean Game Rating and Administration Committee contacted the team in September 2022. The committee gave them an ultimatum: Adjust the art or adjust the age rating. Kim said that while changing the art would be the simplest option, the team considered adjustments it had already made to the global (English) edition of Blue Archive, when in December 2021 it adjusted artwork for the character Arisu's story segments. This happened despite earlier promises from October 2021 that the team would not alter artwork for the global version. In light of the blowback from that incident of Blue Archive being "censored," Kim worried that repeated changes would negatively impact players. Thus the decision was made to raise the age rating of the current game, and produce a second, "all-ages" version of the app with "adjusted resources". The version with adjusted resources will "undergo a thorough review" so as to keep the "visual personalities" of the characters. It will also not affect player accounts, so you can play either version without losing progress. Blue Archive will become an R-18 game in Korea. Meanwhile, the adjusted version will come out some time in the future. This is not the first time that a game studio has had to implement artwork changes due following government intervention. In China, HoYoVerse changed the default outfits of characters Jean, Amber, Rosaria, and Mona in Genshin Impact to cover up more skin. The global editions received the adjusted versions as optional cosmetics. Blue Archive is also not the first game to have "censored" versions with separate age ratings. Some of DMM Games's titles are the same, and many adults-only games are sold on storefront like Steam in their all-ages incarnations, with optional patches or DLC to unlock the spicier content. But it is rare that a studio chooses to split a game in such a way after launch. Blue Archive is readily available on mobile devices. The post Blue Archive Will Split into Separately Age-Rated versions appeared first on Siliconera. |
PC Invasion - FeedDDD Friday, October 7, 2022 6:50 PM  A few days ago, it was announced that Chaos;Head Noah wouldn't get released on Steam today as planned. Shockingly, Valve had informed publisher Spike Chunsoft that the game's release would be blocked due to objectionable content. While the visual novel certainly does have some objectionable content, it isn't any worse than a great many of the games already on Steam. Plus, plenty of things on the store are much more objectionable. This is why it didn't come as a great shock when Valve reversed course and allowed the title to come out today, adding that the company was going to change the way it filters games by a bit to prevent games from being blocked from sale in the future for similar reasons. In case you've somehow dodged the series all these years, Chaos;Head Noah is a visual novel that's part of the Science Adventure series famous for titles with semicolons in them. This includes the beloved Steins;Gate. This one was co-written by the same... |
