pcgamer wrote a new post, Rocket League players say the new Salty Shores map is too damn bright, on the site GoGame.com 8 years, 5 months ago
Rocket League’s latest content update, Salty Shores, introduced a smattering of ’80s-themed content styled after sun-bleached beaches and the retina-searing citrus tones that come with them, including a sandy new map. As several Redditors have pointed out , the bright sun and even brighter sand of the Salty Shores map can be a legitimate hassle. Many players say they struggle to keep track of the ball and regularly lose sight of boost pads, especially when facing the side of the arena where the

Europa is—or will be—”a stylized exploration adventure game about a single conscious life form born in the unlikeliest of places, a tale told through the last sentient droid, a millenia after singularity ran amok.” Based on the recently-released teaser, it promises to be a be beautiful, dreamlike journey through an idyllic world lightly touched by magic. Now try to imagine what it was like to wake up having never gone to sleep. The YouTube listing includes a link to europathemgame.com, but that

According to the official ‘What’s New in macOS’ page, Apple is deprecating support for OpenGL and OpenCL with the release of macOS 10.14. “All we know is Apple seems to have shown intent to rid itself of OpenGL in favor of its own graphics API, Metal. “But I already had issues with Mac’s OpenGL support. It’s not clear at this point if Apple will completely remove OpenGL support from a future macOS release, or if the company is simply pushing developers to adopt its Metal API without real plans t

Are you having trouble deciding between a mini-tower and a mid-tower chassis for your next build? We don’t know if that’s a common problem or not, but Riotoro is taking a stab at a solution anyway with Project Morpheus, a convertible case that’s the first of its kind. Project Morpheus allows a user to build a smaller PC without being locked into that form factor down the road. Riotoro says it built Project Morpheus with a focus on providing easy access to all of the available parts. We’ll have m

He foresees quiet, solitude, and an opportunity to reflect on the past and contemplate the future, all while earning honest pay for honest work. The song was released in 2009 by Chris Remo as a tribute of sorts to Red Faction: Guerrilla, and now, in a tremendously fitting twist, it’s been adopted by THQ Nordic for the Red Faction: Guerrilla Re-Mars-tered Edition launch date trailer. It’s a remix, a little more rocking than the languid, defeated tone of the original, but still a great track—and a

The demise of the real Windows Home Server line in 2011 left a hole in Microsoft’s range, one that Windows Server Essentials could never quite fill with its small business remit, at a time when, annoyingly, a home server is of more use than ever. The question is, is it better to run Windows on your home server box, or is an open-source solution preferable? By comparing what an open-source network attached server OS can accomplish against Microsoft’s Windows 10, we can at least play with somethin

The trailer above, which shows off a few of Warframe’s hardcore veteran players, only teases a few things. Keen Warframe players are sure to pick up on those very subtle threads but for a casual or non-player it can be hard to see what all the buzz is about. It was first teased during Digital Extremes’ fan convention Tennocon 2017, but not much has been heard about it since then. We’ve spoken to Digital Extremes about this update and what makes it so exciting and will have more to share closer t

The next Heroes of the Storm in-game event will pit the forces of the Horde and the Alliance against one another in a battle for heroes, portraits, banners, and mounts called Echoes of Alterac. The event will unfold on a new battleground, Alterac Pass, a three-lane map in the mountains inspired by World of Warcraft’s Alterac Valley, and will see the Draenei finally join the action in the Nexus with the addition of a new hero, Yrel.

Temtem, an upcoming MMO about collecting and battling monsters also called Temtem, was inspired by Pokémon in the same sense that Starbound was inspired by Terraria: It’s a spin on it, but nowhere near a full rotation. Temtem is less ‘spiritual successor’ and more ‘well if you’re not going to make a Pokémon MMO, we will.’ The avid folks behind Temtem make up Spanish studio Crema, who you may know from their previous game, Immortal Redneck . Because this might: “Every young tamer dreams of becomi

This is the most expensive Mixed Reality headset on the market, with integrated AKG headphones and a built-in microphone. All Mixed Reality headsets
