Square Enix is discontinuing The Last Remnant and will shortly be removing the game from both physical and digital sale. The almost decade-old role-playing game will be removed at 5pm UK time / 10am PDT on September 4, 2018 (2am on September 5 in Japan) but at the time of writing, publisher Square Enix has not elaborated on why the game is being withdrawn from sale. “We will soon be discontinuing digital and physical sales of The Last Remnant on PC,” said Square Enix’s Sunil Godhania via a Steam

Two new heroes have been announced for Dota 2 : Grimstroke and Mars. While there’s not yet much known about the latter other than they’re coming later this year “ready for war”, Grimstroke is playable now courtesy of the latest update. “Chosen to serve as an arcane guardian of his people, Grimstroke was instead responsible for their eternal corruption,” states the news update on the official Dota 2 website . But the sacrifice infused Grimstroke with great power, and he considers it a price well

Ada Wong is next in line for a makeover in Capcom’s upcoming Resident Evil 2 remake . While we already know Claire Redfield has ditched her hotpants , it seems Wong’s the next character to get a change of wardrobe for the reimagined survival horror game. “It goes back to the same thing of, what would look natural to be wandering around in a photo-realistic environment in?” “I think wandering around in that dress just getting on with your job as a spy probably doesn’t look as realistic and believ

Star Citizen is free to try from now until Monday.

Oculus Rift founder Palmer Luckey has announced he will have a solution for virtually reality locomotion sickness available via open-source later this year. Hardware and software. I am aiming to open-source the design later this year. Not aware of anyone else working on this branch of the problem.August 22, 2018He added that he was “not aware of anyone else working on this branch of the problem”. And that’s not all.

I don’t think it’s possible to look at a screenshot of Shortest Trip to Earth and not be reminded of FTL. In Shortest Trip to Earth, many familiar elements are retained: the story instances with multiple outcomes, ship-to-ship combat, sectors dominated by strange alien species and intense resource management. Its four creators have been working on it for five years, and it’s complex and detailed in ways that hardcore FTL players will appreciate. Most of the major bits of FTL are here, then, but

The crash occurred on a freeway in San Diego shortly after 4:30 pm local time Thursday. Eight vehicles in total were involved in the collision according to California Highway Patrol. His videos are focused heavily on CS:GO’s cosmetic items and market, often promoting skin gambling websites such as CSG

Game Dev Paul Nichols, participating in DemakeJam on Itch.io, has created a No Man’s Sky inspired game in Pico-8 called Low Mem Sky. “Unfortunately, I was unable to add all the features I wanted to during the jam period,” Nichols states on the Low Mem Sky page , where you can play the chill space game in your browser. “I hope to be able to work on this, post-jam, to add more features (like mining, animal species, sentinels, “usable” space stations for trading).” 🚀 “Low Mem Sky” 🌌My #Pico8 attemp

But probably the most significant part of it is word that new competitive features are on the way, and should start to roll out in the fall. Improvements have been made to allow for Gameplay POV cameras to more closely mirror the action when following a specific player,” Epic wrote. We will be making extensive improvements to these features over the coming weeks and look forward to highlighting the performances of our competitors.” This is particularly important for Epic because competitive play

With Fortnite, PUBG, and roughly a hundred other battle royale games on the market, where is the genre headed? A game released today called Battle Royale Simulator (I’m capitalizing it even if the developer doesn’t) puts you in charge of a battle royale match in an overseer role. The little players don’t even seem to really, technically, do any looting. At least bombarding the hapless little players with airstrikes is kinda fun. Maybe I’ll pin my hopes on Battle Royale Tycoon, which is coming ou

Silent Hill 2 is one of the best horror games you can play on your PC. That’s where Silent Hill 2 Enhanced Edition comes in: It’s a collection of mods and enhancements that fixes bugs and improves the graphics and sound, resulting in the “definitive Silent Hill 2 experience.” “Silent Hill 2: Enhanced Edition is the culmination of years of hard work by talented programmers and modders to fix and enhance the PC version of Silent Hill 2. Following that are Enhanced Edition Essential Files, the FMV

He was standing in line for a Fortnite event, where an exclusive spray was being given away, when suddenly he was hit with a most pressing urge in his nether regions. Gamescom lines are titanic things, and he had already waited for such a long time. And so, faced with an impossible choice, he did the only thing he could: He dropped trou, and dropped a deuce. It ultimately fell to some poor sap from Epic or Gamescom organizer Koelnmesse (it isn’t clear which) to deal with it. https://t.co/P6n0hca

Here’s how to get prepared for Battle for Azeroth’s endgame content and show G’huun the folly of his mirth. The main ways to get ilvl 340+ gear before you head into Uldir are faction reputation and Mythic/Mythic+ 5-man dungeons. Champions of Azeroth reputationGetting to Exalted with the Champions of Azeroth faction is the simplest and easiest (if a bit time-consuming) way to get some 340+ gear.

Steel Division 2 doesn’t just put a single division under your control like its predecessor, Steel Division: Normandy 44, but instead gives you command of an entire army. What might have been a single battle in Steel Division: Normandy 44 is drawn out into a larger conflict. Like its predecessor, Steel Division 2’s units are assigned phases that limit when they can be brought into the fray during the RTS battles. This time we take manual control of the RTS portion of Steel Division 2, leaving th

We’ve seen a handful of tantalizing deals on AMD’s first generation Threadripper processors over the past several weeks and months, but those have all been related to sales. Street pricing hasn’t necessarily caught up with AMD’s new price list, though all three first generation Threadripper chips are still trending well below January’s SEPs. It’s not clear if AMD and its retail partners are phasing these parts out completely, to make room for the second generation Threadripper family. You’re sti

Week 7 of Fortnite Season 5 means new challenges and the release of the Road Trip skin. Since we’re all sprinting to unlock it, here’s where to find the battle stars in the ‘Follow the treasure map found in Dusty Divot’ challenge. The map depicts three trees, and those very trees are just a hop and a skip from Dusty Divot itself. Check out the map below for a general location, or the image below that for exactly where to look.

Call of Cthulhu is “a walking sim RPG with Ace-Attorney-lite detective sections and sanity-driven survival horror,” that is also, in James’ estimation, cool. The debut gameplay trailer, released this week as part of the big Gamescom show, reveals a little bit of what we’ve got to look forward to as we investigate the grim ruins of the Hawkins Mansion. Edward Pierce is a war veteran and private investigator with problems—two of them in particular. Superficially at least, it reminds me of The Coun

Welcome to Graveyard Keeper. Aside from the resource management and crafting, Graveyard Keeper ditches the more social and character-based elements of other life sims. Daily tasks in Graveyard Keeper range from the familiar cutting trees and mining ores, to writing new sermons to perform in the church, to disemboweling and studying corpses. Everything I do in Graveyard Keeper is chosen for its practicality, with no thought spared for aesthetics. One more day, and maybe I’ll finally be able to bu

And for that we can thank Hearthstone’s new Puzzle Lab mode, the single-player component of The Boomsday Expansion, which went live on Tuesday. Wouldn’t it be cool to create your own puzzles and share them with pals? That was the question Samuel Roberts, our UK editor-in-chief, put to Hearthstone senior designer Dean “Ikasr” Ayala this week at Gamescom. Unfortunately he added that: “We don’t have any plans [to enable sharing], but I think it’s a really cool idea.” For more info on Puzzle Mode, c
