South Park: The Fractured But Whole has gone gold, Ubisoft announced today, a bit of news that doesn’t carry as much weight as it used to in this digital day and age. But it does bring with it a new “Game is Gold” trailer which has almost nothing to do with the game, but instead seems intended solely to mock the Only One videogame Kanye West announced in 2015. As with most things South Park, the trailer seems to have divided viewers into two camps, those who think it’s grotesquely offensive, and

Good luck finding a single Radeon RX Vega graphics card in stock at a fair price, let alone two. AMD’s Radeon Software Crimson ReLive Edition 17.9.2 release introduces 2-way multi-GPU support for Radeon RX Vega cards, along with a multi-GPU profile for Project Cars 2, which released today. Radeon Software may display an erroneous “1603 Error” after installing Radeon Software. Multi-GPU support has become much less of a priority for both AMD and Nvidia. In this case, AMD is limiting Crossfire sup

“This is the very first silicon-proven memory buffer chip prototype capable of achieving the speeds required for the upcoming DDR5 standard. The Joint Electronic Devices Engineering Council (JEDEC) has not yet finalized an industry standard for DDR5 memory, but is working on it. That’s a tick higher than recently announced DDR4-4600 memory kits from Corsair and G.Skill. It will probably be 2019 before we see industry standard DDR5 memory kits emerge, the first of which are likely to target serve

It’s set in a futuristic city inspired by Bangkok that’s absolutely drenched in the cyberpunk aesthetic, and it explores topics even more disturbing than the kills you’ll engage in. Botline MiamiThe lead character is decidedly robotic, but there’s a soul beneath the helmet and a reason for the madness. There’s also a hacker known only as “Her” with whom you share a goal, a story that will unfold throughout the rest of Ruiner. Ruiner opens up crimson-soaked industrial corridors as it eases me int

Grand Theft Space transports players from GTA 5’s urban sprawl to the cosmos above. First announced in January, Grand Theft Space was formally revealed in July alongside an impressive Rockstar Editor cinematic. But crafting something with lasting appeal like Kerbal Space Program, like Garry’s Mod, like Multi Theft Auto is well within their sights. I ask Northrop if he thinks players will still be playing Grand Theft Space in years to come, should it take off as planned. More information on Grand

Red Dead Redemption 2 will be out next year, and while it hasn’t yet been confirmed for the PC, nobody’s come around and said that it’s not coming to the PC, either. And until they do, I’m going to keep paying attention and taking notice when something happens—something like, for instance, this. Ideally, it’ll be a solid launch date (right now RDR2 is set for the loosely-defined second quarter of 2018), a new trailer, and confirmation that a PC version is on the way. I’ve emailed Rockstar for mo

Divinity: Original Sin 2’s first challenge is getting safely, or at least successfully, in and out of the Fort Joy prison camp. Here’s every way to get in, and more importantly, back out of Fort Joy. The only way to stay out of a fight is to talk to him armed with a Yarrow Flower. The only problem is, the key goes to a door just south of the main fort gates on a catwalk whose ladder is propped up out of your reach. Getting outThe drawbridgeIf you took an entry route that leads to the dungeons, p

Steam Greenlight made it easier for indie games to get on Steam but became a popularity contest that was easily gamed, leading Valve to replace it with Steam Direct. All this is largely taken for granted these days, with the big challenge for modern indie games being to stand out. It would be many years before most indie PC games could get that kind of placement. In a few cases, registered shareware games even made the jump to boxed products in stores, though that was relatively rare. Commercial

After describing themselves as “huge fans of the Battle Royale genre”, Epic Games unveiled Fortnite Battle Royale last week—a new free-of-charge mode that’ll drop 100 players into “one giant map” in a bid to become the last person standing. Now, it appears Bluehole has taken issue with perceived similarities between Epic’s incoming mode, and its own similarly structured megahit PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds. “After listening to the growing feedback from our community and reviewing the gameplay f

Last week we launched the PC Gamer Indie channel, which has since sent me sniffing around the quirkiest corners of itch.io and Steam. Last night, I happened upon The Lost Tree—a beautiful walking simulator that explores themes of love, loss and friendship through the eyes of a fox. I’m not sure, but what I am certain of is The Lost Tree’s scope for emotional storytelling. Players take control of the fox on a poignant and beautiful journey that crescendos at the source of life, and perhaps result

I’ve hardly hidden my admiration for Grand Theft Auto 5 stunt performer Ash Skyqueen in the past, but her stunts never fail to surprise me. She’s been messing around with machinima creation of late however, as you can see below, she’s clearly not lost her knack for stunting in the interim. Best known for her Mount Chiliad pylon and Liquor Hole skydiving ventures, Ash’s latest combines the latter with some impressive swirling and swooping atop an Oppressor custom sports bike. Look, see:As if Ash’

“We wanted to tell the story of how Ravenholm became what it was in the Half-Life universe,” Spector tells us. Speaking to the Magnet Gun, Spector explains how it would use projectile magnetic balls to attract metal objects from a remote location. The dumpster would fly across the alley and slam into the wall. “Or you could be fighting two robots and hit one with a magnet ball and they’d slam together making movement or combat impossible for them. Stand on the I-beam, fire a magnet ball at the f

When Brendan Greene did a PUBG AMA earlier this week, he said the forthcoming new map will also feature three new vehicles. It will be a van heavily reminiscent of the ye olde Volkswagen Kombi vans. I mentioned we’re working on 3 new vehicles for @PUBATTLEGROUNDS in my AMA earlier this week. Today I’m excited reveal the first of these… pic.twitter.com/OkiDN3Me5QSeptember 22, 2017As for the other two, we’ll have to keep waiting to see. In addition to the new vehicles, Greene hinted at a bunch o

In the crowded field of local multiplayer games where up to four players can compete to pummel the guts out of each other through their faces, Gang Beasts stands out. Gang Beasts is still in early access but it’s already hilarious. On Steam Gang Beasts is free to try for the weekend as a way of stress-testing its new server architecture, networking, and so on. This is a perfect opportunity to sample a game that made our list of the best local multiplayer games and our list of 12 PC games with am

In the Indie GIF Showcase, we dig up the best-looking new and upcoming indie games and explore what makes them special. The Darkside Detective is a point-and-click adventure set in Twin Lakes City, where demons, the undead, and cultists are a regular problem. The Darkside Division are tasked with dealing with occult crimes in Twin Lakes, but there’s only enough room in the budget for one detective: Francis McQueen. Creators Spooky Doorway released The Darkside Detective earlier this year, and it

Blizzard is recruiting for its on-air talent team, specifically the on-air talent responsible for presenting forthcoming Overwatch esports broadcasts. “We’re looking for charismatic broadcasters to join our already stellar talent pool to interview players, commentate matches, and analyze plays,” the announcement reads. “The ideal addition to our team has exemplary social skills, a natural affinity for the camera, keen understanding of the game, and experience conducting upbeat and engaging inter

Road Redemption, a Kickstarter-funded motorcycle racer inspired by Road Rash, was meant to launch back in 2014. That didn’t happen, though it’s been in Early Access for a good while and seems to be keeping its fanbase happy, judging by the Steam rating. Oh, and it’s a rogue-lite now too, according to a new press release, though it doesn’t seem like an especially punishing one. The game will exit Early Access on October 4. According to a statement by the devs, the game has already sold around 100

Both players were playing the Fatigue Warrior deck spawned by the recent Knights of the Frozen Throne expansion—or, as it’s better known, Dead Man’s Hand Warrior. Dead Man’s Hand is an epic spell with a simple-sounding effect: shuffle a copy of your hand into your deck. Things get really interesting when you have another copy of Dead Man’s Hand in your hand. From there, it’s a simple matter of drawing the copied Dead Man’s Hand before casting another one. Dead Man’s Hand This is the Warrior card

“You won’t play as a German in the single player, but you do play as other Allies. You play as a female French resistance soldier, as an RAF pilot, and as a tank commander,” he said. “But it all comes back to Ronald ‘Red’ Daniels. He related a story about speaking to historian and consultant Marty Morgan about a train wreck that occurs in the game. Schofield said the new game won’t “shy away from some of the big things,” like racism, sexism, and “all the brutalities.”
