Last week’s big Mass Effect Andromeda patch made faces look better, fixed some shonky animations plus all sorts of other things. How was Andromeda cracked so quickly? It now appears the vanilla version of Andromeda launched with an outdated version of Denuvo – one which had already been cracked (thanks, DSO Gaming). Now, BioWare’s newly-updated Denuvo protection for Andromeda means anyone with a cracked copy won’t be able to update their game – so, no improved faces for them. The slip-up follows

Persona 5 is the UK chart number one, with the series’ best launch sales to date. The critically-adored JRPG is also the first ever UK chart top spot for developer and publisher Atlus. Persona 5’s predecessor, Persona 4, first came out for the PS2 in 2008, but it wasn’t until the game was ported to PlayStation Vita and renamed Persona 4 Golden that it made its mark in the west. 3DS exclusive Yo-Kai Watch 2: Bony Spirits was the only other new entry, in 36th place. Its dubiously-titled companion

Microsoft has announced a new storefront for selected user-made Minecraft content on mobile and Windows 10, which will go live alongside the game’s 1.1 Discovery update this spring. Microsoft will add new creators to the listings every month. Anyone can register to have their work included on the storefront, but you’ll need a business license to apply. You buy Minecraft Coins with real money, and Microsoft has shared a number of provisional US price points – $1.99 for 300 coins, $4.99 for 840 co

Retrotastic tank shooter Battlezone will get a PC beta next week, on Wednesday 19th April. The beta will run for a week but only be accessible to those who sign up over on the Battlezone site. In other Battlezone news, HTC Vive has been added to the list of compatible VR headsets for the game, alongside Oculus Rift. The PC version also looks nicer, runs faster and has all the improvements patched in since launch for the PlayStation VR original. There’s still no final Battlezone release date thou

A new Nintendo Direct will be broadcast on Wednesday, 12th April at 11pm UK time. Or maybe Nintendo will keep schtum on both until E3. It feels like a while since the last Nintendo Direct. The company kicked off 2017 with its Nintendo Switch reveal presentation, at the ungodly hour of 4am on 12th January. January also included a Fire Emblem-themed Direct, before a Switch indie game showcase in February.

Bethesda really wants you to play The Elder Scrolls Online. Not content with paying someone $1m just to try its MMO, Bethesda will next throw open the gates of Tamriel to everyone, regardless of platform, for a full seven days. The free trial begins 3pm UK time tomorrow, 10th April, and lasts until 18th April. All of this comes ahead of The Elder Scrolls Online’s upcoming Morrowind expansion, which launches in June. Edwin recently had a look at how the addition will change the game.

PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds has sold 1m copies on Steam Early Access, developer Bluehole Studio has announced. This makes PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds Green’s debut directing a standalone commercial product. Impressively, PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds has only been in development for less than a year. The success seems to be well deserved too, as our resident survivalist Ian Higton suggested PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds may be the greatest Battle Royale game yet. For more on PlayerUnknown’s

The Binding of Isaac: Afterbirth+ missed the Switch launch window, but still managed to make it to North America by 17th March on both the eShop and as a retail release. Now we’ve got confirmation on a release window, a physical version, and a price. The European and Australian releases will cost €39.99 (or your local equivalent) and a physical edition will hit retailers via publisher Headup Games, who has partnered with the game’s North American publisher Nicalis. And with Headup Games, we’ve f

Indeed Speedrunners publisher tinyBuild alleged that G2A facilitated the selling of $450k worth of its game keys that were obtained illegally with stolen credit cards. In a statement to Eurogamer, G2A explained that all of the demands Gearbox made were already in place. According to G2A, having the “G2A Shield” fraud protection service is merely a convenience that expedites the refund process and offers 10 per cent discounts on purchases. If the seller does not agree to the buyer’s complaint, th

YouTube’s most-subscribed creator, Felix ‘PewDiePie’ Kjellberg, has launched a weekly show on rival platform Twitch, during a period he’s coined the ‘Adpocalypse’. In a video entitled ‘YOUTUBEISOVERPARTY’, Kjellberg talked about the impact this was having on his own revenue and questioned whether it was an overreaction on the behalf of advertisers. At the end of the video, PewDiePie revealed plans for a new weekly live show hosted on Twitch. When PewDiePie tells an offensive joke and is accused

La semana pasada, Rich Leadbetter de Digital Foundry viajó hasta el campus de Microsoft en Redmond para ver en profundidad la tecnología que se esconde en la nueva consola Xbox, con el nombre en clave Project Scorpio. Nuestra apuesta, y tan solo es una apuesta, es 499 dólares, el mismo precio de lanzamiento que la Xbox One original. Microsoft se ha comprometido (a diferencia de PS4 Pro) a que estén disponibles todos los modos de mejora para los juegos independientemente de la pantalla a la que e

Todo debería funcionar más que bien, pero además de eso, la potencia del Scorpio Engine se usará para mejorar los juegos que ya tienes. De hecho, Scorpio busca mejorar la experiencia con los juegos actuales de Xbox One y los de Xbox 360 que son retrocompatibles de cinco formas distintas. “Eso significa que los juegos que no pueden mantener su frame-rate en Xbox One tienen muchísimas posibilidades de hacerlo en Scorpio. La realidad con Scorpio es que la potencia de seis teraflops se usará en nues

El audio espacial también añade mucho a la inmersión de la experiencia: para que la experiencia jugable sea perfecta no es solo lo que ves, es también lo que escuchas”. Lo más destacable es que esto ocurrió hace años, antes de que se fabricase ningún hardware. Eso supone 1GB extra de memoria reservada respecto a Xbox One, necesaria para que el dashboard funcione a 4K nativo. “Para la pantalla, evidentemente, usamos HDMI 2.0 – lo necesitamos para el frame-rate adicional a 4K, así como HDR y la me

Habilidades de personaje en GTA 5Cada personaje, como decíamos, tiene su propia personalidad en la historia, y así se refleja en la jugabilidad.

Na verdade, existem cinco formas diferentes em que a Scorpio tenta melhorar a experiência dos existentes jogos Xbox One e Xbox 360 retro-compatíveis. Isto significa que os jogos que não aguentam o rácio de fotogramas desejado na Xbox One têm uma forte probabilidade de o fazer na Scorpio. A realidade espantosa da Scorpio é que todos os 6 teraflops de poder gráfico serão empregues para correr os actuais jogos Xbox. O aumento de 31% na CPU em termos de velocidade ajudará os jogos que estão ligados

Unfortunately, Sony has yet to make such a controller itself but its solution is to give official licensing rights to two third party pads: the Nacon Revolution Pro, and the Razer Raiju. Both the Razer Raiju and the Nacon Revolution Pro are wired solutions targeting the professional, or eSports gamer – with premium price-points to match: £80 for the Nacon Pro and a wallet-busting £150 for the Raiju. Let’s start with the Nacon Revolution Pro – the cheaper of the two. Clearly the Nacon Revolution

Gammill suggests that all of Microsoft’s first party teams have been involved in the process of creating the Scorpio hardware. Theoretical data and projections became very real with the arrival of prototype Scorpio hardware at the beginning of the year. Prototype Scorpio hardware at this point didn’t really resemble anything that could recognisably pass as a console unit. Turn 10 is still working on this, but the quality settings from Forza Motorsport 6 Apex on PC can be fully invoked on Scorpio

The next Xbox, codenamed Project Scorpio, features 100 per cent compatibility with any software that runs on the existing Xbox One console, be it the latest triple-A blockbuster or any one of the hundreds of Xbox 360 titles successfully adapted via Microsoft’s backward compatibility programme. According to the Xbox hardware team, your existing library of games should run smoother, look better and load faster. In fact, there are five different ways in which Scorpio aims to improve the experience
