Here’s the FOV at its lowest setting, 55. And here’s the FOV at its highest setting, 105. For a look at the menus and FOV in action, here’s a gif where I stare at a fiery doorway and switch from max FOV to min. We’ll have more on the Destiny 2 PC beta soon, including an in-depth performance analysis. If you want to run Destiny 2 in 4K, we’ll let you know what it takes.

Dishonored game director Harvey Smith tells me that he’s noticed the dip in sales, but thinks that there will always be enough of an audience to keep immersive sims in development. “And there’s always the talent and the resources to make [immersive sims],” says Smith. What that means is, even if immersive sims speed up or slow down in terms of production, there’s always the indie version of immersive sims like—this year you have Tacoma and next year you’ll have something else. “The number of sub

Asus makes some of the best routers out there, we can say that from experience (two of its models appear on our list of best routers for gaming). With that in mind, we have high hopes for the company’s new RT-AC86U, a dual-band router that is supposed to prioritize gaming traffic. With regards to the former, the built-in QoS controls give your gaming traffic priority over other online activity. Beyond its gaming features, the RT-AC86U is a dual-band 802.11ac MU-MIMO router powered by a 1.8GHz 32

MSI is laying claim to being the only one to offer a gaming laptop equipped with a 120Hz panel and 3ms response time. That would be the 15.6-inch GE63VR Raider. Also available is the bigger 17.3-inch GE73VR Raider. The GE63VR Raider measures 383mm (W) x 265mm (D) by 27.5mm (H) and weighs 2.39kg, whereas the GE73VR Raider bumps the dimensions up a tad to 419.9mm (W) x 285mm (D) x 28.5mm (H) and 2.8kg. The GE63VR Raider and GE73VR Raider are available with 7th generation Core i7 processor options

We are actively investigating reports of CHIVE errors when attempting to launch the Destiny 2 PC Beta. https://t.co/kQh3F4RkSPAugust 28, 2017Original story:The Destiny 2 early access PC beta is now underway! Some of you might be experiencing some issues trying to launch the game, however, specifically in the form of the “Saxophone” errors. Early Access to the PC Beta has begun. In further proof that the PC version of Destiny 2 will be the best, we get fancy new error codes.

With the Destiny 2 early access PC beta set to get underway today for those who’ve pre-ordered, Bungie has clarified how the game’s region system will work. “When players launch Destiny 2 from the Blizzard desktop application, they will have the option to select their region of play. If the player takes no action to change their region, it will match the default region of the player’s Blizzard account,” the help page states. “Players who wish to change their Blizzard region may do so by closing

While Codemasters added VR to Dirt Rally, they don’t have plans to add support for any VR headsets to F1 2017, which launched on Friday. At least not at the moment because there are extra challenges in introducing VR to F1 2017 specifically. This isn’t to say that Codemasters aren’t interested in VR for their Formula One title, however. “We’ve certainly given a lot of consideration to VR,” creative director Lee Mather told GamesIndustry.biz. “We have a lot of elements on screen with the OSD, so

Absolver, Sloclap’s multiplayer martial arts game, launches tomorrow, and heralding its arrival is a launch trailer full of masked warriors, Prospects, being beaten up by some brawling buddies. The trailer doesn’t reveal much aside from the fact that there will be a great deal of fighting, and as someone who has spent a week playing, I can tell you that the game itself plays things just as close to its chest. Tyler’s been playing as well, and here’s what he had to say about his first hours with

In 2000, Human Head Studios released Rune, an action adventure built in the Unreal Engine and featuring a hack-and-slashing Viking named Ragnar. A sequel to Rune is in the works, an open world RPG called Rune: Ragnarok. Ragnarok is “set in a dangerous Norse universe during the end of days” and places players “in the middle of an epic battle where gods, beasts, and the last remaining humans struggle to survive” according to Human Head Studios’ press release. “In the spirit of the original, Rune:

Game of Thrones and A Song of Ice and Fire haven’t had a lot of luck when it comes to video game adaptations. The Bethesda: Game of Thrones page was spotted by NeoGAF in the featured brands section, and only contains what sounds like a placeholder title. Certainly, with years of fantasy RPGs under their belt, Bethesda is well-positioned to craft a Game of Thrones RPG, and they’re no strangers to dragons and civil wars. The last Game of Thrones RPG was Cyanide’s very rough attempt, and though it

Welcome to our roundup of the best total conversion mods ever. Presented in no particular order, these are the mods that radically transform our favorite games into something different, with new and improved art, gameplay systems, locations, and adventures. Crafted through years of work, sometimes by large teams of volunteer modders, many of these mods have gone on to become PC gaming classics in their own right. Here are the best total conversion mods ever made.

Crackdown 3 was announced at E3 2014. “I think we probably announced Crackdown too early,” Shannon Loftis, Microsoft Studios Publishing’s general manager admits. “So we had to take the extra time, [and] make sure that we’re delivering the game the Crackdown fans want. “I think in the past we have made the mistake of announcing some exclusives a little bit too early,” she said. “We’re trying to learn from that mistake and do better, so we have a bit that’s in development now that we’re not talkin

Cloud Imperium had a lot to show off at Gamescom last week, culminating in a two-hour presentation of Star Citizen 3.0 on Friday. The demo begins with a player waking up and exploring a base before joining some pals and shooting off towards a mission on another world. Persistence means that when you leave your ship on a moon, that’s where you’ll find it the next time you play. The co-op adventure also gave Roberts the opportunity to unveil Faceware, Star Citizen’s new face and head-tracking syst

In this instalment, Andy revisits one of the early Star Wars classics, Dark Forces. LucasArts had seen Star Wars-themed Doom mods, including one set on the Death Star, and this inspired it to make its own official FPS. It’s hard not to think of Dark Forces as Doom with Stormtroopers, but that’s slightly unfair. Dark Forces isn’t remembered for being a pioneering game in terms of its technology, but LucasArts was doing some really innovative stuff here. Both teams keep in touch via email, and the

Last week, former Valve writer Marc Laidlaw posted a synopsis of the Half-Life 2: Episode 3 story he had planned out before the developer distanced itself from its most famous series. But it also reminded some people that they were angry with Valve, and they promptly took to Steam to bomb the user reviews for Dota 2. Some, however, blame Dota 2 specifically for killing Half-Life. “Valve decided that Dota 2 and CS:GO are worth more than Half-Life,” someone writes. Despite this, Dota 2 is sitting

But he’s also been working on his own project, an occult board game called Cultist Simulator in which your aim is to “rain blood down on the world”—so he told Joe in an interview earlier this month. Well, yesterday Kennedy released a new trailer showing the game in action. Anyway, here’s the video:Along with the trailer, Kennedy also revealed that a Kickstarter for the game will launch on September 1—the page is live here but currently all you can do is leave feedback. You amass followers to sen

This week: what game would you recommend to a complete non-gamer? Rocket League took off precisely because it’s so easy to pick up and play, with fast matchmaking, intuitive controls and short matches. But did you say that, or were you merely selecting a quick chat option in yet another game of Rocket League? Phil Savage: Kerbal Space Program(Image: © https://www.reddit.com/r/KerbalSpaceProgram/comments/3duql5/one_of_my_best_ksp_screenshots_decommissioning_a/)Technically Kerbal Space Program is

It’s no secret PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds is on a tear—the Early Access battle royale shooter has been raking in sales and drawing new players at an incredible rate. It climbed ahead of CS:GO in player count (over 500,000) less than a month ago, and hit 8 million copies sold earlier this week. Now it’s claimed a new, perhaps inevitable victory: surpassing Dota 2 in terms of player count, making it the top game on Steam (as of this writing). PUBG’s seat in the top slot might not last long: Dot

Ubisoft has revealed new details and footage of the three operators coming to Rainbow Six Siege in the upcoming Blood Orchid update, due September 5. There’s footage of all three in action at the bottom of the story, but let’s run through them all (and their gadgets) in turn first, starting with new attack operator Ying. Next up is Lesion, a defensive expert that can lay down practically invisible poison traps. These mines hurt any enemy that walks over them over time and add a visual distortion

The PC is becoming a leading platform for Japanese games , a sea change confirmed again this past week when a PC version of Final Fantasy 15 was announced at Gamescom . “I welcome the new world of Steam and digital sales,” said Mikami. Now I have a digital collection, and that’s better for Japanese people anyway because our houses are so small.” This new era came about so quickly it’s easy to forget how unchangeable the PC’s drought of Japanese games used to seem. As for the prospect of seeing h
