Far Cry 5’s latest patch brings with it its much-anticipated Photo Mode. Title Update 8 will roll out following routine maintenance later today. Available via the main menu in all Solo gameplay modes—including DLC packs and solo Far Cry Arcade maps—Photo Mode lets players tinker with the time of day, field of view, frames, filters and even their character’s facial expressions. Specific to PC, Far Cry 5’s latest patch adjusts keyboard and mouse remaps. Last month, Phil explored the the weird worl

Screw the World Cup, Rocket League is hosting a free weekend. Those who opt in can expect full access to Rocket League’s features, game modes, Playlists (both Casual and Competitive), and Arenas. Now three years old, Rocket League continues to grow with updates, themed DLC and new Arenas on a regular basis. “I don’t know what I’d do with Rocket League 2. To celebrate its three year anniversary, Rocket League also follows its free weekend with an Anniversary Event.

Final Fantasy XV boasts one of the most memorable casts in not only a Final Fantasy game, but any video game. Ignis, Gladiolus, Prompto and Noctis are all lovable, but are they as lovable as the Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers? But what I’m getting at is this: you can now play Final Fantasy XV as the bloody Power Rangers, thanks to this incredible package of mods by modder Jazneo. In addition to all four Power Rangers (you know, the blue one, the red one, the black one and the green one), each of

Steam has revealed its best selling games of 2018 so far, and as you’d probably expect there are few surprises. That doesn’t mean there aren’t any surprises, though: among the top 12 selling titles is Jurassic World: Evolution, rubbing shoulders with the likes of PUBG, Rocket League, Dota 2 and Rainbow Six Siege. Like last year, the list isn’t ordered by number, but instead into four categories: platinum, gold, silver and bronze. Here’s the first three categories, for your convenience. But if yo

With a little wax on, wax off, Fractured Lands could certainly take its place among the growing smorgasbord of battle royale options. Many Battle Royale games include vehicles. In Fractured Lands, the difference is that everyone spawn in one, together at the center of the map. Beyond that, it’s a pretty familiar battle royale experience. With a little wax on, wax off, it could certainly take its place among the growing smorgasbord of battle royale options with the interesting dynamics added by i

In a new “Story Insight” trailer on Game Informer, Bungie developers talked about the impact his loss will have on the game, and the more “personal” style of narrative that will result. “It feels like it’s just done for shock value at the start, but it’s not,” Bungie head of community Eric Osborne says in the video. “We’ve always like Uldren as a bad guy, because he’s so shifty. Even in D1, you don’t know if he’s actually a good guy or a bad guy,” Forsaken art director Shiek Wang says. “It’s got

The ongoing saga of loot boxes took an interesting turn last week when France’s gambling regulatory body ARJEL weighed in with its 2017-18 activity report. But it also determined that from a legal perspective, loot boxes generally do not qualify as a form of gambling. What it did not do, however, is rule that loot boxes fall within the legal definition of gambling. Schwiddessen described the position as “non-committal and unspecific,” and ARJEL said it will continue to research loot boxes and mi

It’s July 4, the American Independence Day, and thus the perfect day to release the Fallout 76-ized cover of Country Roads, the John Denver hit that was used to introduce Bethesda’s latest post-nuclear adventure to the world. The track is available now on iTunes for $1, and all proceeds raised will be donated to Habitat for Humanity. The track is credited on iTunes to Copilot Music and Sound, a company founded in 2008 to create musical content for advertising, games, and other media. Fallout 76

Last week, Austin wrote about this Dark Souls mod lets you play the whole game as your favorite boss. “Controlling Smough the newly added boss to the list of supported enemies,” explains the mods creator in the video above’s description. “Also showcasing the new revamped targeting mode also known as Player Lock On Mod where your controlled enemy will always face it’s targeted enemy no matter what when locked on it. “This gives better targeting for melee moves and does not turn him around when yo

Under the banner of Causal Bit Games, the pair’s debut venture Battle Princess Madelyn is a Ghosts’ N Ghouls-inspired retro sidescroller. First, here’s the former:The latter explains Battle Princess Madelyn is “nearing the final month of testing and corrections”, and that its final boss has gone through five complete overhauls. “The two bosses that changed were pretty heavy—the last boss in particular,” explains Chris. Elsewhere, Chris explains how the game’s inventory system and blacksmith tie

In 2001 I played the demo of Operation Flashpoint for the first time, courtesy of PC Gamer’s cover disc. That was how our clan really began, and a year or so later we’d rented our own public server and begun using TeamSpeak 2. In the years that followed, we played dozens of clan matches and enjoyed countless sweaty-palm moments. It’s been particularly noticeable for all of us since Battlefield 1, which didn’t offer clan tags or Platoon systems until months after release. In spite of this, we’ve

Below we’ve put together a list of sweet discounts on some great games you may have overlooked. —Tyler WildeThe Yawhg – $3 (60% off)A great little local multiplayer narrative game.

In its vanilla state, Fallout 4’s irradiated Boston Commonwealth looks lovely. With Mystirious Dawn’s Visceral ENB graphics mod installed, it’s one of the most gorgeous playgrounds I’ve ever wandered around/murdered ghouls within. We may need to update our list of the best Fallout 4 mods. But enough from me, here it is in motion:It was my plan to select a handful of my favourite stills from the mod’s Nexus Mods page below, but I’ve wound up with 20. Please do so here:If you missed the link above

And one of the most notorious of these creatures was Naughty Dog’s Crash Bandicoot, a denim-clad marsupial who spun onto the original PlayStation in 1996, becoming the stupid, grinning face of the new CD-powered console. The N. Sane Trilogy is a remastered collection of the first three Crash Bandicoot games. It’s authentic, though, and that’s exactly what some people will want from a Crash Bandicoot remaster. The addition of auto-save is one of the few concessions it makes to modern game design,

It’s an understatement to say that we don’t know much about Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order. I hope the LucasArts licence doesn’t stop them from bringing that kind of lethality to the Star Wars universe. We don’t need blood squibs or jibbing, but I want this to be a brutal take on the Star Wars universe. Jedi: Fallen Order is set shortly after Episode III, and it’s about a surviving Padawan who presumably has to avoid being mowed down by clone armies. But Jedi Academy let you pick your lightsaber c

That’s how Fortnite’s limited-time Playgrounds mode works: you’re given 60 minutes to create, play and train as you wish. Working on his lonesome (Playgrounds supports up to four players per server), Sonny Evans raised the following hilltop village overlooking Tilted Towers. Sticking with Evans, the following castle looks out on Loot Lake and is comprised of multiple towers and rooms. After some teething issues, Fortnite’s Playgrounds limited-time mode relaunched yesterday. I’ll keep my eyes pee

When the Shenmue re-releases were announced for PC earlier this year, Sega tentatively promised “modernized features” without naming specifics. Now, the publisher has revealed more on its new settings, its reworked control scheme, and why both games cannot run above 30Hz on PC. The FAQ explains saves can be carried over from Shenmue to Shenmue 2 on PC, and that saving anywhere in-game is possible. Check out the Shenmue FAQ as it appears on the Sega website, and know that the originals’ in-game a

These are positions we’ll stand behind—hills we’ll die on even if we probably shouldn’t, much like every sniper in a Battlefield game. We’ve all got opinions we know are scarcely shared, so after you’re done balking at our firmly-held beliefs, let us know in the comments: What’s your most unpopular gaming opinion? See, I’m actually quite into Assassin’s Creed lore, which is an unpopular opinion in and of itself. Phil Savage: Gaming is better nowIt’s sad that this even counts as an unpopular opin

PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds’ latest PC update makes visual improvements to its Sanhok map, adds a new PGI theme, and makes adjustments to its UI during matchmaking. Tweaks to its Thailand-inspired 4×4 tropical map include the addition of cracked bells, mossy rubble piles and a new cap on the central palace. That looks like this:Likewise, cliff faces and rock formations have been given a makeover map-wide. They now look like this:All of PC update #17’s nips and tucks currently apply to its test
