Over the decades people have taken id’s notorious FPS and bent it to their will, creating all manner of bizarre, beautiful, and impressive mods. It’s the foundation for a huge amount of creativity, and below are some of my favourite examples of Doom being used to create something really weird. You can even kill the main cast, because it is a Doom mod after all. But the thing I love most is how it gives all the classic Doom enemies eyepatches and pirate hats.

GTA Online’s much-anticipated After Hours nightclub update is live on PC. Featuring real-world performers The Black Madonna, Tale of Us, Solomun and Dixon, the update brings with it ten purchasable nightclub locations—available on Maze Bank Foreclosure. Budding proprietors can fill venues with resident DJs, podium dancers, lighting rigs, and back of house staff. “Once the DJ’s set-up missions are complete,” explains Rockstar, “the DJ will become the club’s resident DJ, seamlessly changing over f

The Resident Evil 2 remake will include Tofu, Hunk and that big bastard alligator, we learned last month. The devs have also been answering questions about the potential of virtual reality Resi. When asked about VR, Kanda and Hirabayashi say virtual reality support is an unlikely consideration for the third-person perspective Resident Evil 2 remake. Due on January 25, 2019, here’s everything we know about the Resident Evil 2 remake. If you need a virtual reality fix, know that Megaton Rainfall w

Fortnite’s Playground mode returns on Wednesday—with new team select options that “let you and your squad set up team battles for practice and training.” That’s according to update v5.10, whose patch notes detail tweaks to its Slurp Juice healing item, and the introduction of the Compact SMG. The Compact SMG also boasts a 50-round capacity and can be found in floor loot, chests, Supply Drops and Vending Machines. Playground Mode is back, as detailed by Andy here, and its Birthday Event is go. Ch

Megaton Rainfall was one of the sleeper hits of 2017, and a quick glance at some gameplay footage is enough to understand why. Along the way you’ll encounter procedurally generated cities harried by massive alien vessels. Unfortunately, while its been on Steam since November last year, VR has only been playable on the PlayStation 4 version. Megaton Rainfall will get both Vive and Rift support on August 9. It’s coming to the Oculus Store and Steam VR, and those who already own the Steam version w

As we expand our hardware coverage on PC Gamer, we’d love to find a few reliable, experienced freelance contributors who know a lot about one or more hardware components. You should have some writing samples that illustrate you can write about hardware or tech. You should have some writing samples that illustrate you can write about hardware or tech. You don’t need a computer engineering degree, but we’d expect our contributors to have excellent knowledge on the components they’re covering. You

Shadow of the Tomb Raider isn’t open world, but like its predecessor, it’ll boast its fair share of wide open areas. Chief among these will be Paititi, a hidden city in Latin America which has been “untouched by modern culture”, according to the gameplay video embedded below. Paititi is also the biggest hub area in the series yet. There are plenty of folk around, and talking to them may flesh out certain parts of the overarching story. Not that any of this is surprising: it’s a video game town w

In 2015, modder gg77 created a Skyrim mod which let players shapeshift into creatures other than werewolves, like werebears and werebats and also Godzilla. But what if you want to, say, ride Godzilla instead of become him? More importantly, what if you want to ride Mecha Godzilla, who is a mech and therefore better than regular Godzilla? As you may have guessed, the headlining act is Mecha Godzilla, in all his shiny metal glory. You can also ride vanilla Godzilla if you’re wrong, as well as the

The London Spitfire and Philadelphia Fusion—fifth and sixth seeds, respectively—steamrolled the Los Angeles Gladiators, Boston Uprising, Los Angeles Valiant, and New York Excelsior to earn their spots in the first Overwatch League grand finals at the Barclays Center in New York this weekend. London Spitfire vs. Los Angeles Gladiators (2-1)The Spitfire never defeated the Gladiators in the preseason or regular season. Set one went the way of Los Angeles in 3-0 fashion. As soon as the engagement be

The Commodore 64 Mini, announced earlier this year as a half-sized remake of one of the most famous personal computers of all time, will hit store shelves in North America on October 9. The system comes with a retro-styled joystick (because that’s how we did it back then), 64 pre-installed games, and C64 Basic, enabling its use as a “fully functional home computer.” There is one catch: If you want to return to those heady days of manually typing in programs from the pages of a magazine, you’ll n

After a year overflowing with loot box and pay-to-win controversies, loot boxes are now steadily being phased out, with many studios adopting battle pass-style business models, outright removing loot boxes from their games, or disclosing the odds of their loot boxes to maintain transparency. Rocket League developer Psyonix joined the latter group earlier today: the math behind Rocket League’s loot crates is now out in the wild thanks to a recent blog post . Here’s how they break down:Rare item:

Last week, Ubisoft teased a Ghost Recon Wildlands crossover with Rainbow Six Siege coming with the launch of Special Operation 2, the second of four free updates planned for Wildlands’ Year 2. Valkyrie, you see, is an old friend of Karen Bowman, the CIA shot-caller working with Ghost Recon in its war against the Santa Blanca Cartel. The Ghost War PvP mode is getting two new classes, Toxic and Surgeon, modeled after Smoke and Doc from Rainbow Six Siege, plus two new maps called Factory and Checkp

Tomorrow, to the delight of many, we’re getting multiplayer for No Man’s Sky. For a solo player like myself, however, I’m left wondering if multiplayer is really what No Man’s Sky really needs to pull me back in. Base-building, among other features, has been added to No Man’s Sky since then. There’s clearly a very strong desire to experience No Man’s Sky with other people. It’s not other players I want to find in No Man’s Sky, it’s something else entirely.

Playdek and GMT Games have announced today that they’re initiating a long term partnership to bring GMT’s catalogue of strategy and wargames to digital platforms. The two companies previously partnered on the digital adaptation of hit cold war strategy game Twilight Struggle . GMT Games is a fan favorite in the world of tabletop war games , publishing everything from card-driven strategy and sci-fi 4x to traditional hex-and-counter cardboard monsters. Labyrinth and the COIN series games are much

While dataminers have sussed out a great deal of information about World of Warcraft: Battle for Azeroth’s story, huge gaps still remain—particularly when it comes to some of the bigger heroines and their motivations. That’s what Warbringers, a three-part series of animated shorts about Warcraft’s most powerful women, looks to help establish. After things went so poorly with Arthas during Warcraft 3, she endured several tragedies during the life of World of Warcract. Two other Warbringers shorts

But Epic had no rule stating participants had to stream their performance. On kill-feeding:“Our internal Summer Skirmish analytics kept track of all opponents which participants eliminated. There is no evidence that would suggest to us that iDroPz_BoDiEs played the competition using a mouse and keyboard. $8 million is a huge payout for a remote-held tournament where Epic is still publicly grappling with logistical and technical issues. Fortnite is the biggest game in the world, so it’s a strange

News that will shake the board game world broke late last week with private equity firm Eurazeo confirming that it entered into exclusive negotiations with another equity firm, PAI Partners, for the sale of the Asmodee group. Asmodee, which has grown aggressively in the last few years by acquiring smaller board game publishers, is one of the largest publishers in the global board game market. They’re known in the English-speaking world for ownership of Fantasy Flight Games and Days of Wonder, as

On Prime Day last week, Samsung’s series of 960 Evo NVMe SSDs were massively discounted. The 500GB model was just $159.99, a 36% drop from the original MSRP. This is Samsung’s last-generation NVMe SSD, with a sequential read speed of 3,200MB/s, and a sequential write speed of 1,800MB/s. Make sure your PC’s motherboard supports NVMe before you get it—some motherboards have M.2 slots, but only for SATA drives or Wi-Fi cards. You can buy the Samsung 960 Evo 500GB SSD from Amazon.

It’s a widely-circulated bit of nerd trivia that The Expanse, the popular series of science fiction novels and rather good television show , actually started as a tabletop roleplaying and forum play-by-post setting. Well, now the authors are partnering with publisher Green Ronin to create a proper version of the setting in pen and paper: The Expanse Roleplaying Game. The game will use Green Ronin’s AGE system, marking the first time that roleplaying system has been used for sci-fi. The Expanse R
