Kotaku Thursday, March 17, 2022 12:25 PM  Aside from a handful of hits, Xbox Game Pass has had a bit of a slow month—until yesterday. During a showcase focused on indie games, Microsoft announced two more games would hit the Game Pass library: Tunic and Paradise Killer. Better yet, they're both already available. |
Kotaku Thursday, March 17, 2022 11:37 AM  After nearly three weeks with the game, Elden Ring players had found some extremely effective ways to break it, using OP builds to smash challenging bosses like Malenia as well as other players in PVP invasions. FromSoft took notice, however, and nerfed some of the most popular builds in a massive 1.03 patch that went… |
PCGamesN Thursday, March 17, 2022 12:12 PM  The Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 2 start time has not yet been confirmed. With Chapter 3 Season 1 ending this Sunday, that's more than a little bit unusual. Epic normally provides a series of teasers in the week leading up to a new Fortnite season, but those teasers are nowhere to be found this time around. The image above is actually a new one from the Nintendo Store listing for Fortnite. Community members discovered it on March 16, but while this specific image is new, it doesn't actually tell us anything. That's just a battle bus under a slightly pink sky - not a proper teaser for whatever we can expect from Season 2. Chapter 3 Season 1 officially ends on March 19. New season launches typically follow a few days after the end of the previous season, accounting for a bit of maintenance and patch time, but Epic hasn't provided any official confirmation of the new season's release timing. We could get a surprise launch, but for now, it's unclear what the weekend will bring to the battle royale game. RELATED LINKS: Fortnite V-Bucks, Fortnite Skins, Fortnite Creative Codes |
PCGamesN Thursday, March 17, 2022 12:12 PM  It's Thursday, and you know what that means – another round of free PC games from the Epic Games Store. This week, you can grab the first-person psychological horror In Sound Mind, and as ever, Epic has revealed next week's freebie, too. Demon's Tilt is a pinball game with shmup and hack-and-slash elements. It's a wild mix of things, but that's okay. You'll be able to grab Demon's Tilt from the usual Epic Games Store promotion page on Thursday, March 24 at 8am PDT / 11am EDT / 3pm GMT. It'll be there for one full week, at which point it'll be replaced by another freebie. As always, you'll 'purchase' the game at a price of zero dollars, and it'll remain in your library just like any game you might pay money for. Here's the store blurb for Demon's Tilt: "Turbo-charged pinball returns! Now with bigger sprites, more baddies, more secrets, and more bullets! Demon's Tilt pushes the limits of the video pinball genre with shmup and hack-and-slash elements." RELATED LINKS: Upcoming PC Games |
PCGamesN Thursday, March 17, 2022 12:00 PM  Audio is an important part of any gaming PC session, and using the best gaming headset can elevate your experience tenfold. While a good pair of cans can come at a cost, you can currently grab Razer's Kraken Ultimate RGB for half price, pleasing both your ears and your wallet. Over on Amazon US, the Kraken Ultimate RGB headset is down from $129.99 to $64.99, thanks to a 50% discount. This premium headset boasts THX 7.1 spatial audio, which should help you react quicker in FPS games like Halo Infinite while adding an extra layer of clarity to Elden Ring's Epic soundtrack. As the name suggests, the Kraken Ultimate RGB is also clad with colourful lighting, so you won't have to worry about standing out at LAN events. It also syncs up with other lighting ecosystems, like Philips Hue, meaning your headset can fit in with your other flashy products.

PCGamesN Thursday, March 17, 2022 1:17 PM  The developers of the hit horror game Until Dawn have announced their next project: it's called The Quarry, and we reckon a lot of counsellors are going to end up dead by the end. A bunch of camp counsellors decide to throw an unsupervised party on the last day of summer camp at a secluded woodland location called Hackett's Quarry - what could go wrong? A lot, as it turns out. The thing is, which ones wind up surviving and which are horrendously murdered by "blood-drenched villagers" depends entirely on the choices players make. Like Until Dawn, The Quarry is a narrative game about making key decisions about where to go and what to say, and each choice you make changes the direction - and outcome - of the story. You'll play as one of the nine camp counsellors, and there are some cool co-op options available: you can play online with up to seven others, with each player voting on each choice. Or you can opt to make it a couch co-op game in which each player picks a counsellor and controls their actions. There's even a movie mode if you'd rather just make some popcorn and watch how things pan out on their own. Difficulty is highly adjustable, so you can tailor the experience to suit your group. |
PCGamesN Thursday, March 17, 2022 11:24 AM  Minecraft's first snapshot of the Wild update may have introduced some cute frogs and a new biome, but it's the mangrove builds that fans are making out of the new woods that stand out the most. It's probably the wonderful red hue and rich earthy tones of the new building material that make them so easy on the eyes - it's a description that could easily be applied to a good blend of coffee. The initial snapshot of the new blocks has got a great reaction on the Minecraft subreddit as people are chuffed about having another new block to use in their builds. It's not just the colour that appeals, as the trapdoor makes for a homely look for windows, or even a fun take on mosaic flooring or skylights. You can also use mangrove wood to make these incredibly unsettling eye illusions in the building game, but we're not going to dwell on that for too long. There are plenty of wonderful sights to see, but we're especially taken with this mangrove swamp village. The addition of the redwood allows for some really nice contrasts, and it helps settle the village into the biome a bit more than usual. If you're not in the mood for a swamp, then maybe you'd prefer making a nice barn? RELATED LINKS: Minecraft console commands, Minecraft skins, Minecraft mods |
PCGamesN Thursday, March 17, 2022 11:15 AM  Hisense has announced that it's releasing a monstrous 4K 65-inch TV that could give even the best gaming monitors a run for their money. While the new display probably won't fit on your desk, its 240Hz refresh rate could entice you to move your gaming PC setup to your living room. The Gaming TV Ace 2023 looks like an expensive display at face value, but there's certainly more going on within this unconventional set. For starters, Hisense's speciality screen boasts a quad-core ARM Cortex A73 CPU, 4GB of RAM, and 32GB of internal storage, which makes its spec list sound more like a standalone computer. In addition, it uses the company's tried and tested ULED tech, enabling it to replicate over 1.07 billion colours. While you wouldn't usually play FPS games using a TV, the Gaming TV Ace's 2.7ms response times could make big-screen competitive gaming more viable. The set is also AMD FreeSync compatible, which hammers home the fact that this isn't a regular living room rectangle. RELATED LINKS: Best SSD for gaming, How to build a gaming PC, Best gaming CPU |
PCGamesN Thursday, March 17, 2022 10:21 AM  Want to know more about the upcoming Genshin Impact events? A new version of Genshin Impact arrives every six weeks, complete with new characters, quests, and events. It's difficult to keep track of which events are currently running and if there are any new ones coming soon, so here's a schedule for all current and upcoming Genshin Impact events. Genshin Impact has a number of events running simultaneously, and they aren't just in-game events. When a new Genshin Impact character joins the game, the devs launch a web event at the same time - players learn about the latest characters through an interactive story told through a web browser. The rewards for completing different events range from in-game items like primogems and mora, to real life prizes like mouse mats and plushies. Just like the Genshin Impact banners, most events are only available for a limited time, so it's worth participating as soon as you can. New events are usually added to Genshin Impact after an update, but it's worth keeping an eye out on this page as the devs do like to surprise the community.

PCGamesN Thursday, March 17, 2022 9:10 AM  AMD has revealed its plans to release an updated version of its FidelityFX Super Resolution upscaling technology, unsurprisingly called FSR 2.0. The company boldly claims it "can deliver image quality that's practically indistinguishable or perhaps even better than native." We can expect the latest version of the tech to start appearing in games from Q2 2022, with Deathloop being the first to feature it. FSR 2.0 remains free of any type of machine learning, unlike other competing upscaling technologies such as Nvidia DLSS or the upcoming Intel XeSS. Instead, AMD engineers have reworked the algorithm behind FidelityFX Super Resolution to include temporal data, moving away from the simpler spatial solution found in the previous version. While AMD isn't sharing performance metrics at this time, it will be sharing more details on FSR 2.0 at some GDC sponsored panels on March 23, which you can learn more about here. In the meantime, you get your first glimpse of this new version of FidelityFX Super Resolution in action by reading further down.

PCGamesN Thursday, March 17, 2022 9:10 AM  First announced during its Product Premiere event back in January, AMD Radeon Super Resolution (RSR) is now available to use alongside other new features contained in the now rebranded AMD Software Adrenalin Edition software. You can download the latest version of the driver suite here. AMD Radeon Super Resolution essentially takes the company's FidelityFX Super Resolution (FSR) spatial upscaler and injects it straight into your graphics card's driver. This should make it easier than ever to boost fps in games that don't natively support any upscaling technology, and team red claims it can push your frame rates up by as much as "3x" versus native rendering. However, it does come with some trade-offs. Unlike FSR, AMD Radeon Super Resolution applies to the entire frame, which can negatively affect the clarity of some HUD elements. Additionally, the feature is only compatible with RX 5000 series graphics cards and above, and there's no way to deploy it on Nvidia GeForce or Intel Arc GPUs since it's part of the AMD Software Adrenalin Edition software.

PCGamesN Thursday, March 17, 2022 12:12 PM  It's hard to escape advertisements fighting for your attention on the internet, but an accidental blip suggests that even Windows 11's file Explorer could use integrated ads in the future. Spotted by Twitter user Florian Beaubois, the ad appeared in the form of a call to action banner for Microsoft Editor, something the company says was pushed in error. In a statement provided to The Verge, Microsoft's senior program manager for Windows, Brandon LeBlanc, says the ad was "an experimental banner that was not intended to be published externally and was turned off," While it's clear that the test was never meant to involve external users, LeBlanc's statement doesn't rule out the possibility of integrated OS ads in the future. It's worth noting that this isn't the first time Microsoft has used ads within Windows Explorer for its own services, as it previously rolled out a large OneDrive subscription banner back in 2017 (via The Verge). Windows 10 also isn't a stranger to ads, as they can be found within its lock screen, start menu, and apps. RELATED LINKS: Best SSD for gaming, How to build a gaming PC, Best gaming CPU |
PCGamesN Thursday, March 17, 2022 8:28 AM  Amazon Games and Smilegate RPG say they "made a mistake" in releasing Lost Ark's March update "too quickly after launch". While internal data suggested that players would be ready to tackle the high-level Abyss Raid the patch introduced, various circumstances meant that didn't end up being the case. "We overlooked certain variables, such as players spending more time on horizontal content and the price of honing materials increasing due to bots and real-money transactions," the team explains in a blog post. "These factors contributed to a scarcity of tier-three honing materials. Together, our teams at Amazon Games and Smilegate RPG are continuing to gather data on play patterns in the western version to better inform our future content roadmap. We appreciate the patience and support we've seen from the community while we continue to learn together and work on updating our roadmap, and apologise for the confusion our early excitement has generated." The long and short of it is that you need tier-three progression materials to get your character ready to tackle the most challenging content Lost Ark has to offer. Getting there, though, requires honing materials, which ain't cheap when gold-farming bots are inflating the market price.

PCGamesN Thursday, March 17, 2022 8:00 AM  VPNs are a key component of keeping yourself safe online, as they keep your internet footprint private and secure.

PCGamesN Thursday, March 17, 2022 12:13 PM  Are you looking for the Legend or Master Lost Sector locations in Destiny 2? While many Destiny 2 Exotics can be bought from Xûr or even in the world loot pool, the Exotics in these special Lost Sector instances cannot, forcing players to explore these dangerous areas if they want the best equipment available. To make matters worse, you have to complete them on your own to get a chance at the best rewards. Before you can take on Legend Lost Sectors, you need to complete all the normal Lost Sectors first. If you don't, the new Legend Lost Sectors will not appear on the map. Each day, the location, modifiers, and rewards rotate out for something new. As of Season of the Risen, the Legend and Master Lost Sector quests both take place in the same location. The location for the Legend and Master Lost Sector quests appear with the daily reset at 5pm UTC. It's important to remember that Exotic drops are not guaranteed after completing these quests, so you may have to run through the same Lost Sector multiple times. You can go through them quests with a fireteam, but your rewards will be reduced to Enhancement Cores only. RELATED LINKS: Destiny 2: Beyond Light review, Destiny 2 exotics, Play Destiny 2 |
PCGamesN Thursday, March 17, 2022 7:57 AM  Looking for all the drink recipes for the Of Drink A-Dreaming event in Genshin Impact? There are always a lot of great events in Genshin Impact, and the latest one turns the anime game into a bartending simulator. The Genshin Impact Of Drink A-Dreaming event tasks players with making some fantastic, if not unusual, drinks. It's a fun little bartending minigame where players have to create drinks based on various character requests – such as different coffee, tea, or juice mixtures. Compared to the Genshin Impact Divine Ingenuity event which is running around the same time, this bartender event isn't as difficult as its platform-focused counterpart - simply pour the correct drinks and earn rewards in the process. You need to complete the first part of the quest, Tavern Tales, by mixing drink foundations and flavourings using a maximum of five ingredients to make the customer's favourite beverage. After successfully making all seven drinks, you unlock Bartender Challenge; four timed drink making challenges. Here are all the Genshin Impact drinks recipes, event times, and rewards for the Of Drink A-Dream event.

PCGamesN Thursday, March 17, 2022 7:42 AM  Nvidia is undeniably ambitious in its quest to create the best graphics cards, but its latest endeavour could make them less CPU dependent. As such, future GPUs could gain direct access to SSD storage, rather than having to use a processor as a middle man. Highlighted by The Register, Big accelerator memory (or BaM for short) aims to free up CPU resources and allow graphics cards to independently store and access data, which ultimately takes the strain of the component's own VRAM. The tech also eliminates the need for an API like DirectStorage, allowing GeForce cards to access even consumer-grade drives via PCIe. It's worth noting that while BaM could enhance our gaming PCs down the line, the tech's case paper mainly focuses on intensive workloads and machine learning applications. That said, it's hard not to imagine what this could mean for high-spec, pixel-pushing rigs, especially if it helps us render higher resolution textures utilising the best SSDs RELATED LINKS: RTX 4000 - everything we know, GeForce Now RTX 3080 review, Best graphics card |
PCGamesN Thursday, March 17, 2022 8:18 AM  Elden Ring has got its first significant shakeup thanks to patch 1.03. Alongside some neat new additions and performance-boosting fixes, you've got some pretty sweeping balance changes. Essentially, your build might be busted if you've been using one of Elden Ring's better weapons or items. The update decreases Ash of War, Hoarfrost Stomp's damage and increases cast time, which certainly dents a few popular Elden Ring speedrun strategies. FromSoftware has also fixed a bug with Ash of War, Determination, and Royale Knight's Resolve that applied damage buffs to other weapons without those skills. Sword of Night and Flame's weapon skill has also been lowered, which affects damage. The Elden Ring team has also shrunk the damage spirit summons do when the Mimic Tear Item is used and changed their overall behaviour. There are "other enemy and weapon balance changes", too, though FromSoftware hasn't listed them. Looking on Reddit, a few players report that the Moonveil Katana has been cut down to size.

PCGamesN Thursday, March 17, 2022 12:01 PM  What is the GTA 5 podium car this week? GTA Online vehicles are expensive things, so we're happy to take a spin on the Diamond Casino's Lucky Wheel to get a discount. Winning isn't guaranteed, sure, but it isn't out of the question either. Look, we don't have a problem - leave it alone. You can spin the Diamond Casino's Lucky Wheel once a day, and each Podium Car refreshes after seven days on a Thursday. Basically, you have seven shots to get the vehicle of that given week. If you own a Penthouse, you can spin it for free, but if you don't it's $500 a spin. Don't fret if you don't win, though, as you can win something else. You have a one in 20 chance of getting the podium vehicle, a car discount, or a mystery prize. There's a four in 20 chance of getting clothes, chips, and cash. Finally, there's a five in 20 chance of getting RP. Keeping tabs on the GTA Online podium car can be a bother, though, so we're going to keep this GTA 5 guide updated so you have somewhere to check back on. On that note, here's the GTA 5 podium car for this week. RELATED LINKS: GTA 5 mods, GTA 6, Buy GTA V |
PCGamesN Thursday, March 17, 2022 6:14 AM  It doesn't take a particularly powerful gaming PC to fulfill the Persona 4 Arena Ultimax system requirements, so most systems should be able to jump into the anime game without issue. In fact, developers Atlus and Arc System Works recommending practically ancient specs. The game supports operating systems as old as Windows 7, but given that Microsoft discontinued support for the operating system over two years ago, we'd strongly recommend upgrading to WIndows 10 or 11 if you can. Given how old the original arcade and console versions are, it's no surprise that decade-old graphics cards like the AMD Radeon HD 6670 or Nvidia GeForce GTS 250 have enough power to get you stuck into Persona 4 Arena Ultimax's action. You shouldn't worry about having much of a disadvantage against those with the best graphics cards if your system leans towards the minimum or recommended specs. Since frame data is extremely important to the best fighting games, we highly doubt that you'll be able to boost fps past the game's original cap of 60 frames per second.

Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Thursday, March 17, 2022 12:54 PM  Most of my Elden Ring adventure was an absolute breeze. I chose the Astrologer class and used sorceries galore to effortlessly steamroll through almost every boss. Nothing could compete with my trusty staff, so I didn't need to use spirit ashes for my first 100 hours or so. I was fine by myself, like any good romcom protagonist at the start of the movie. As I walked into the final boss arena, I had unwaivering confidence. I strolled in, staff at the ready and prepared to win. Then, my string of easy victories came to a shocking end. I got walloped and decimated for about 10 hours and eventually announced my defeat. Elden Ring was a game I just couldn't finish. Fortunately, love had other plans, and I entered into a whirlwind romance with the Mimic Tear Ash. |

Jim Rossignol's Monaco: What's Yours Is Mine review in 2013 was pretty straightforward: "This is one of the most important independent games this year, and might well end up being one of the best-loved games of the decade." I don't think it panned out quite that way, partially because indie games grew so larger and more mainstream than expected across the decade, but the IGF Grand Prize winner is still a cracking game. And Monaco 2 looks pretty. |

Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Thursday, March 17, 2022 8:59 AM  GPU-based upscaling has proven to be one of the most useful additions to gaming PC tech in years. Big performance improvements in exchange for only a minor drop in visual quality, if any at all? Yes please and thank you. Nvidia's DLSS has established itself as the gold standard of upscalers, outperforming AMD's FidelityFX Super Resolution (FSR), but the Radeon makers are now readying two new offerings: FSR 2.0 and Radeon Super Resolution (RSR). FSR 2.0 looks to be a straight upgrade on the current 1.0 version, promising sharper picture quality with "optimised anti-aliasing" to better compete with the built-in, AI-assisted edge smoothing of DLSS. It will still need to be implemented in games by their developers, though – unlike RSR, which aims to work with just about any game by applying its upscaling algorithm at the GPU driver level. |
Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Thursday, March 17, 2022 8:00 AM  The folks over at Eastshade Studios sure do have a brand, don't they? Cozy, rustic, slow-going living with a touch of the magical has a certain appeal all its own, and as the recent announcement of Songs Of Glimmerwick proves, EastStud don't intend on shaking up that brand any time soon. This is a wonderful thing for me because their previous outing and namesake, Eastshade, is not only one of my favourite games of all time, but also such an important kind of game in the terrifying, nightmare world we find ourselves in today. You see, Eastshade does one thing very, very well. In fact, it does it so well that most players probably won't even have noticed until they look back and really think on it. Eastshade teaches mindfulness, a keen and acute awareness of oneself and one's surroundings in the present moment. And that, my friends, is where the appeal comes from. |

The number of Sega Genesis games playable on the Switch via the Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack grew. Nintendo announced three more games are available in the app. People who subscribe can now also play Alien Soldier, Light Crusader, and Super Fantasy Zone. Notably, both Alien Soldier and Light Crusader are Treasure games. Alien Soldier is a run-and-gun game that debuted on the Sega Genesis in 1995. After a terrorist group called Scarlet went too far, its former leader Epsilon-Eagle heads off to go through levels and defeat 25 bosses. Light Crusader is an isometric action-RPG that also appeared on the system in 1995. Players follow Sir David as he searches for people who have disappeared in a dungeon below a town. As he searches, he learns they've been stolen as part of a plot to unleash evil. Super Fantasy Zone is a shoot'em up that initially only appeared on the Sega Genesis in Europe and Japan in 1992.

To commemorate the rerelease of Persona 4 Arena Ultimax, PlayStation Japan opted to put potential opponents into a food coma. To do this, they recreated the Rainy Day Special Beef Bowl from Persona 4 Golden. First appearing in Persona 4 on PS2 and its Persona 4 Golden expansion on the Vita and later PC, the Rainy Day Special Beef Bowl was available at the Chinese restaurant Aiya in Inaba on days when it rained in-game. Players could pay 3,000 Yen (about $35 USD in 2010 when the game first released) to challenge a bowl containing a "truly staggering amount of meat." Completing the challenge required that players effectively max out their Social Skills, but even a failure resulted in significant gains across multiple categories, making it an effective way to spend time on rainy days. https://twitter.com/PlayStation_jp/status/1504291437013200898?s=20&t=k72vSOJj1P91odD42Bv8yw PlayStation Japan's Persona 4 Golden beef bowl video attempts to recreate the in-game dish. That being said, unlike Persona 5's Leblanc curry, the real-life recipe is a fairly standard one. Interestingly, the recipe calls for pork, rather than beef. In the original game, the Rainy Day Special is a "meat bowl," rather than a "beef bowl" as it appears in the English localization. The video calls for chopped garlic and onions, heated, then simmered in a mixture of vegetable soup stock, mirin, soy sauce, sugar, and white wine. The thinly sliced pork is then cooked and placed in the sauce to simmer. Some of the sauce is then removed and reduced to use as sauce. A bowl is then filled with a generous amount of rice and meat, with a raw egg left to melt over the top. Of course, depending on the amount made for the Persona 4 Golden beef bowl (or meat bowl), one may need Understanding of one's limits, Knowledge to control one's pace, Courage to face the unrelenting tide of meat, and Diligence to persevere against the colossal challenge. Persona 4 Golden is available on PS Vita and PC. Persona 4 Arena Ultimax is available on PS4, PC, and Nintendo Switch. Check out its launch trailer.

We now know when the live-action Resident Evil show will appear on Netflix. The service confirmed it will appear on July 14, 2022. It also shared new key art hinting at the nature of the show that features a the T-Virus in a vial. Here's the Resident Evil key art. In case you're having trouble reading the label on the vial, it says, "Serial No. NRC002 Pathogen T-Virus." The box on the label next to "positive" is checked. As a reminder, the T-Virus is the Tyrant Virus Umbrella created. In the games, it resulted in creatures like the Proto Tyrant and Nemesis. This suggests the sort of monstrosities that could end up appearing in the show.
As a reminder, this is the show set in New Raccoon City. It stars Lance Reddick as Albert Wesker. It allegedly stars the "Wesker Kids" and features Adeline Rudolph, Ella Balinska, Paola Nunez, Siena Agudong, and Tamara Smart. A teaser on Netflix itself shows an infected dog. The live-action Resident Evil Netflix show will debut on July 14, 2022. Resident Evil: Infinite Darkness is also available on the service.

Players who pre-order Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak will be able to unlock a dog and cat layered armor outfits for their Palico and Palamute. There is also a short video on the Monster Hunter Twitter account showing how they look in game. Since these are cosmetics, they will not affect how the Buddies work in-game. The Palamute cosmetic looks like a very large Shiba Inu, while the Palico outfit looks like an actual calico cat. The Palico also has its katana strapped to its back. As they are pre-order bonuses, they are not naturally a part of the Sunbreak expansion, unless Capcom sells them as separate DLC in the future. The video also shows the player character playing with the two, as well as camping with them. You can watch the Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak layered armor here: https://twitter.com/monsterhunter/status/1504398014357520389 Capcom announced the concrete release date for Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak during its March 15, 2022 Twitch broadcast. During the stream, it also showed off new monsters and characters. Sunbreak will be the game's first expansion pack. While Palicos are a series staple, Palamutes first appeared in Rise as rideable allies. Monster Hunter Rise is available for the Nintendo Switch and Windows PC.

Developer FromSoftware and publisher Bandai Namco released Elden Ring patch 1.03. This is a substantial update that includes more than 40 bug fixes and balancing changes. In addition, it also adds new content. Chiefly, patch 1.03 of Elden Ring adds the ability to record the name and location of NPCs on your map with markers once you have discovered them. This will make it easier to remember which characters you have met and where you met them. The patch also adds several other pieces of new content. It introduces a new NPC named Jar-Bairn. There are new quest phases for the NPCs Diallos, Nepheli Loux, Kenneth Haight, and Gatekeeper Gostoc. Summonable NPCs have been added for "multiple" unspecified situations. Mimic's Veil can imitate more object patterns now. Finally, some open fields now enjoy new background music for nighttime. Being able to use markers to record the name and location of NPCs on the map is likely to be the most significant change in Elden Ring patch 1.03. However, players will want to scan the long list of bug fixes and balancing changes as well. Among other things, bugs have been fixed pertaining to arcane scaling incorrectly for some weapons, summoned NPCs not taking damage in boss fights, players being unable to warp to sites of grace at the end of the game, and various visual effects. Meanwhile, balancing changes include increasing the Smithing Stone drop rate for some enemies, improving shield effectiveness, increasing the damage for a few sorceries, and decreasing the damage for Sword of Night and Flame. The previous Elden Ring patch, 1.02.2, addressed smaller issues, like a bug with the Fire Giant boss and technical problems on PC. To date, the game has already sold 12 million units worldwide, and Bandai Namco plans to expand the Elden Ring brand. Elden Ring patch 1.03 is available now on all of its platforms, including the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and PC.

The next My Hero One's Justice 2 DLC is here, and this time Nemuri "Midnight" Kayama is joining the fight. The U.A. High School teacher is the ninth add-on for the game and fourth person to show up in Season pass 2. People can get her alone for $3.99. She is also a part of the $19.99 pass. We already had an idea Midnight would be coming to MHOJ2. A Weekly Jump leak suggested she'd join the cast. Her quirk is Somnambulist, which means some of her attacks will involve putting her opponent to sleep. However, she primarily attacks with her signature whip.
This means there's only one MHOJ2 DLC character left to appear. Bandai Namco only announced two season passes for the game so far. In this second one, heroes Hitoshi Shinso and Present Mic appeared alongside the villain Kurogiri. There's still one unrevealed person coming to the game. My Hero One's Justice 2 is available on the Playstation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, PC, and Google Stadia, and the Midnight DLC is out now.

The company also released a free content update that applies to all players, regardless of whether they purchased the character DLC.

Famitsu has released its results for a Final Fantasy XIV character popularity poll held for its March 2022 feature, and Emet-Selch has come out on top. The character popularity poll was part of a questionnaire, which also asked readers what some of their favorite moments in the MMORPG were. Additionally, the Famitsu feature contains several developer interviews, which have alluded to the future of Final Fantasy XIV's narrative. That said, the character popularity poll has revealed what Final Fantasy XIV character is most popular among those who answered the questionnaire. [Thanks, aitaikimochi!] According to the results, Emet-Selch is the most popular Final Fantasy XIV character. Behind him at second place is G'raha Tia, with Haurchefant sitting at third place. Other characters that made it within the top 20 include Alphinaud, Estinien, Ardbert, and Zenos. Again, this only accounts for those who answered the questionnaire. These results potentially do not reflect international readership. Final Fantasy XIV Producer Naoki Yoshida briefly spoke about the future of the MMORPG in a Letter from the Producer Live. This also included a roadmap of content that will appear through future version updates. Concerning Patch 6.1, new main scenario quests will be available for players. Additionally, a new secret dungeon and Trial will appear through the update. Final Fantasy XIV is available for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and PC.

Yostar, Manjuu, and Yongshi will add RN Impero to Azur Lane through a new limited event scheduled in late March 2022. She will appear as a converted aircraft carrier despite coming from the same class as the battleships Vittorio Veneto and Littorio. Like her sisters, Impero will belong to the Italy-inspired faction Sardegna Empire. Commanders will be able to find the Super Rare-graded shipgirl in the event's limited construction pool. In history, the Regia Marina originally constructed Impero as the fourth ship in the Vittorio Veneto/Littorio class of battleships. However, the construction was never completed as Italy eventually surrendered to the Allies in 1943. In the 2010s, scholars determined the Regia Marina had plans to convert Impero into an aircraft carrier. This discovery served as a basis for Manjuu and Yongshi to add Impero as a fully converted carrier in Azur Lane. On March 12, 2022, the Japanese Azur Lane Twitter account published a teaser that a new event would appear in late March 2022. However, Yostar has not scheduled a new live stream to publish complete details about the new event, unlike with the previous "Abyssal Refrain." The company had also sporadically posted tweets that revealed new shipgirls as an alternative method, as seen in the 2022 Lunar New Year additions.

Sting announced the Knights in the Nightmare remaster will release on Nintendo Switch in Japan on April 7, 2022. Pre-orders will open on March 31, 2022. It will cost 2,860 yen or about $24. While a date for the Switch remaster of Knights in the Nightmare has been announced, there is no release date for the Android or iOS versions. A potential Western release for any version of the remaster has yet to be announced. More information regarding the mobile versions of the title will appear sometime in the future. Sting announced in June 2021 that it would remaster Knights in the Nightmare for Nintendo Switch and mobile devices. The remaster was originally intended for a 2021 release. However, information regarding Knights in the Nightmare remastered had gone dark until recently. And despite a solid release date appearing for the Switch version, no trailer or visuals have accompanied the announcement. Knights in the Nightmare is a hybrid JRPG and shoot 'em up. Originally released for the Nintendo DS, players could use the stylus to maneuver a wisp around the screen. The player would need to dodge projectiles while moving the wisp around to activate units and perform attacks.

PC Invasion - FeedDDD Thursday, March 17, 2022 1:00 PM  We've known for a while that AMD has been working on RSR (Radeon Super Resolution), since CES 2022 in fact. Now the time has finally come for release. AMD announced that RSR will launch today with the latest 22.3.1 drivers for Radeon RX 5000 Series graphics cards and newer. That's not all though, as AMD also announced that FSR 2.0 (FidelityFX Super Resolution) will arrive in Q2 2022. This is a little surprising, as many expected AMD to release the successor to FSR 1.0 later in the year. Seeing that the implementation method for FSR 2.0 functions differently than the original, it'll be interesting to see how it stacks up to other upscaling solutions when it releases. RSR goes places FSR can't AMD's Radeon Super Resolution utilizes the FSR 1.0 algorithm. And while that may seem strange with FSR 2.0 right around the corner, there's still the chance that AMD could upgrade it in the future. The key to RSR is that it uses in-driver spatial upscal... |
PC Invasion - FeedDDD Thursday, March 17, 2022 12:45 PM  Developer Supermassive Games rose to prominence with Until Dawn, a narrative horror game back on the PlayStation 4. It evoked nostalgia for '80s-style horror movies, in which a group of smarmy teens get their comeuppance for being so damn smarmy. Obviously, that means they often got killed in a host of grisly ways, either due to story needs or by your own hand. Since then, the company has experimented with the episodic The Dark Pictures Anthology. However, Supermassive is returning to its roots with The Quarry, a smarmy-teen-killing simulator which will release later in June. The Quarry once more is a callback to popular horror films, which you can tell from its cast. It stars actors from popular genre classics, such as Scream and A Nightmare on Elm Street. David Arquette (Scream) is in, playing as the owner of Hackett's Quarry summer camp. Ted Raimi of Evil Dead fame is also involved.

PC Invasion - FeedDDD Thursday, March 17, 2022 11:45 AM  To say Elden Ring is hugely popular would be an understatement. So far, 12 million units have been sold across the world. As a result, Bandai Namco and FromSoftware have shared that they have plans to take the brand even further. However, the game has seen its fair share of bugs and performance issues which we picked up on in our review. Since launch, the development team has been tackling these issues.

PC Invasion - FeedDDD Thursday, March 17, 2022 11:00 AM  In the last few years, cartoony deckbuilding games have been quite popular. Most games stick somewhat closely to the Slay the Spire formula, but I don't think I've seen one that's tried to change things up quite as drastically as Battle Bands. The premise is simple: you play as a single member of a four-person rock group against another rock group. This takes one of two forms. The first is a random mode where you create a band and fight against AI boss-type enemies. And the other has you participate in a series of matches against other human players. Once you start, Battle Bands ushers you into the tutorial. You're put in a pre-made band as a guitar player. The basic gist is that both bands need to compete in order for one of them to emerge victorious. Your band needs to reach 100 hype. To earn hype, a band has to have a song section card active. There are four members in each band, consisting of a guitar player, bassist, drummer, and keyboardist. Each of the... |
