Destiny 2’s spring Revelry event is due to start on April 16 and run through to May 6. Verdant Forest is a lot like the Haunted Forest event, but with more blossom. You fight through as many rooms as you can, facing off against bosses to full up your ‘Reveler’s Tonic’ and drop event armour pieces. You can also earn armour pieces from Eva bounties. You can earn the Arbalest Exotic Kinetic Fusion rifle by completing Triumphs and giving spare Reveler’s Essence to Eva.

Fortnite’s Thanos limited time mode from last year seems to be making a comeback, coinciding with the debut of Avengers: Endgame later this month. Epic hasn’t officially announced the return of the mode yet, but dataminers have apparently found some pretty clear clues in the latest patch. New kill feed messages discovered by Skin-Tracker include the string “Yielded to the POWER of Thanos,” as well as a couple references to ice fiends and unleashing an “inferno” of some kind. The new kill feed st

Prodeus promises old-school shooter action inspired by Doom and Quake, presented in a smart hybrid style that evokes the genre’s pixel art origins without sacrificing modern lighting and rendering techniques. I like the way the weapons and enemies animate at a lower FPS than the player’s movement, so you still get the crisp responsive feel of a 60+ FPS shooter, but the gritty look of a retro shooter. I also love that the map screen is basically noclip mode; your perspective pops into the sky and

The announcement of Borderlands 3 has possibly given you the appetite to revisit the series, and the recent addition of the GOTY Enhanced version offers a decent excuse to do that. If you want to see the original game from a different perspective, though, this mod, spotlighted on r/Games, lets you play the game in third-person—and it makes Borderlands look really cool. If you’re using a scoped weapon, the game will briefly go into first-person, then return to third-person after you’ve stopped ai

This game’s Isaac equivalent looks like he needs to be defrosted in a microwave but the demo, while hopelessly derivative, does make me want a new Dead Space game quite badly. Negative Atmosphere is the result of just five months of work, and the demo was shown at EGX Rezzed last week. It has all the trappings you’d want: blood smears, cool floating HUD elements, strobing sci-fi emergency lighting, and angry stamping. There’s no release date at the moment, but the team is planning to release a p

Rage 2 is trying to tempt us into its wasteland with a dash of Borderlands, a smidge of Bulletstorm, and a light peppering of Crysis. This is the first look at the game that’s really made me want to try it. It’s always fun to mess with NPCs’ gravity, and I’m glad to see the homing wingstick return—the best Rage weapon as far as I remember. Rage 2 is out on May 14, and it might end up being a good ‘play while you wait’ game for Borderlands fans. Find out more in our everything we know about Rage

When Borderlands 3 was properly unveiled last week, some players noticed its pricier Deluxe Edition (as well as its Super Deluxe and Collector’s Editions) contains a downloadable bonus called ‘Equippable XP & Loot Drop Boost Mods’. What I think is “stupid af” is the idea of building BL3 to “sell that garbage” – ie, selling boosts and loot. That would be stupid af and that some people have been throwing shade on an imagined fear is frustrating as hell.April 8, 2019I decided to reach out to 2K Gam

To simplify things, we’ve created this list of graphics cards ordered from most powerful to least powerful. Regardless, this should give you a bit more context about how the major graphics cards stack up right now, and help you make informed purchases. For example, while the GTX 1080 and 1070 are still very good graphics cards, Nvidia and other manufacturers have largely stopped manufacturing and selling them. Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080 TiBoost Clock: 1635MHz | Memory: 11GB GDDR6 | CUDA Cores: 4352

The 1TB Crucial MX500 has been one of the best SSDs for gaming for a while, thanks to its excellent performance and value. As with most SSDs, it has slowly dropped in price over the past year, and now you can get it for just $117 at B&H Photo. The MX500 is one of the best SATA SSDs available, with sequential read speeds of up to 560 MB/s and sequential write speeds of up to 510 MB/s. Crucial 1TB MX500 | $116.99 ($13 off)This is one of the best SATA SSDs around, and is a great choice for any gami

I will never be able to afford the HP Omen X Emperium 65 monitor. Marketing quibbles aside, because it’s a “BFGD,” or Big Format Gaming Display , the HP Omen X Emperium is no stranger to Nvidia. So what’s the appeal of the HP Omen X Emperium 65? If I had it, I could buy the HP Omen X Emperium 65, the only Nvidia BFGD in existence right now. In that case, I regret to inform you the HP Omen X Emperium 65 flounders in that regard, too.

Rocket League’s next Rocket Pass launches on April 17, and like the past two it allows players to unlock cosmetics and loot box keys by earning Rocket Pass tiers. Speaking of dumb wheels, the items in Rocket Pass 3 can be previewed here, though without animation. Aside from new items, Rocket Pass 3 brings the concept of challenges to the game. A day before the new Rocket Pass launches, we’re also getting another way to spend money on our pretend cars. And I think that just about covers the exten

Here are a few problems with abusive chat that Blizzard is solving with its AI system. There’s also the issue of players abusing the report system—that is, reporting other players for abusive chat that never took place. Blizzard notifies and explains to the community whenever there is a change to its reporting system. For Overwatch, Blizzard made changes to the categories under the player reporting system that feeds into its ‘machine learning’ system. Ultimately, the player reporting feature is

Before the new(ish) Overwatch hero Baptiste was a good guy, he was a bad guy—joining the ranks of the terrorist group Talon in the aftermath of the devastating Omnic War. And with the launch of the upcoming Overwatch Archives: Storm Rising event, you’ll be able to deck him out in his red-and-dreads look from the bad old days. You can’t run from the past.Terminate your enemies as TALON BAPTISTE (Legendary)!Chase the truth: April 16 pic.twitter.com/139OzDnzJsApril 10, 2019Talon Baptiste is, I beli

A bill to reverse the reversal of net neutrality rules was approved in the US House of Representatives by a 232-190 vote, though it will likely be shot down in the Senate. The concept of net neutrality has become a partisan issue, which makes the fate of net neutrality rules dependent on whether Democrats or Republicans hold majority control. The bill, called the “Save the Internet Act,” aims to reinstate net neutrality rules as they were implemented under the previous administration, when Tom W

Crysis 2 was promoted by Nvidia, and Nvidia GPUs at the time had faster tessellation hardware than AMD offerings. In the case of Crysis 2, that means worse relative performance on AMD GPUs, often with no change in visuals. Back to the original question, then: What does it mean when a game has branding for a specific hardware company? I’ve seen AMD promoted games that end up running better on Nvidia GPUs, or Nvidia promoted games that end up performing better on AMD GPUs … and I’ve also seen AMD

A hidden message has been discovered in the offline screen of the Borderlands Twitch channel that teases some potentially big revelations that might be coming in Borderlands 3. Discovered by YouTuber Joltzdude139, the messages—in Morse code—ask two questions drawn from Borderlands lore that could be very pertinent to long-time lore hunters. The code can only be seen in the image that’s displayed when the Borderlands Twitch channel is offline, not in the otherwise-identical header art at the top

When considering the best power supply unit for PC gaming, cooling is one of the considerations, but one thing that is not on our checklist is liquid cooling. The PSU maker has been cranking out liquid cooled PSUs for a few years now, and they are selling well enough that it just released a new 850W model. FSP created its new Hydro PTM+ 850W in collaboration with Bitspower, which makes all kinds of liquid cooling equipment, including full-length waterblocks for graphics cards. In this case, the

Intel is finding new ways of leveraging its 3D XPoint memory, otherwise known as Optane memory. “Intel Optane memory H10 with solid state storage features the unique combination of Intel Optane technology and Intel QLC 3D NAND—exemplifying our disruptive approach to memory and storage that unleashes the full power of Intel-connected platforms in a way no else can provide,” Intel’s Rob Crooke said in a statement. “SSDs with Intel Optane memory are the fastest compared to NAND SSDs in the majority

Sure, we pretty much already knew that Sega plans to release a PC port of Yakuza Kiwami 2 on Steam. The account’s new avatar is very clearly the eyepatch worn by Yakuza series side-star Goro Majima. Now that Sega is using Majima’s eyepatch as its official Steam avatar, it seems pretty likely that a PC reveal of Yakuza Kiwami 2 is imminent. This seemed like a pretty certain thing already, given that the both Yakuza 0 and Kiwami have already landed on PC. But Sega likes to hype up these PC reissue
