Back in 2015, Grand Theft Auto 5 modder extraordinaire JulioNIB launched the Iron Man script mod—a fairly crude but enjoyable creation that reimagined players as Tony Stark’s not-so-alter automatonic ego. Weeks later, the creator had crafted some far more convincing superhero attire by way of the Mini Hulkbuster IronmanV mod. Now, some two odd years on, JulioNIB brings us the ‘GTA 5 Ironman Script Mod Version 2’. Here’s Version 2 of the Iron Man script mod in motion:If that tickles your fancy, t

Cloud Imperium Games has released two new videos in its Around the Verse series chronicling the ongoing development of Star Citizen (which Chris enjoyed an alpha build of last week). The idea of exploring abandoned, hulking shells of old space ships is one of the things that appeals to me most about the game. These are screens at which you buy and sell items outside of shops, refuel, purchase ships and equip items on your craft. These items, which players will be able to buy and sell, will be us

Xseed Games first announced it was bringing JRPG The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel to PC in April, and now they’ve revealed a concrete release date: August 2. It’s part of the branching Legend of Heroes series and set in the same universe as the Trails in the Sky trilogy, which you can play on PC. The sequel, Trails of Cold Steel 2, is also coming to PC, but hasn’t yet got a release date. The PC version will have 5,000 new lines of voiced dialogue, and the developers have enlisted mod g

Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, Team Fortress 2, Portal 2 and other Source Engine games were all affected by a particularly nasty exploit until recently. Basically, by uploading custom assets into a custom map, hackers could use them to trigger a “buffer overflow vulnerability” which resulted in the victim PC being open to remote code execution. In other words, merely shooting at an enemy could cause your machine to be remotely hijacked. “Valve’s Source SDK contained a buffer overflow vulnerab

A cold wind blows from the peaks of Northrend, carrying with it the stench of death, despair, and sweet new collectible cards. The Knights of the Frozen Throne expansion is due out sometime this August (inappropriately summery, if you ask me) and will add 135 cards, foremost of which are the new Hero Cards. These are legendary rarity cards which transform your hero into a Death Knight with an accompanying new hero power. We’ll be adding new Frozen Throne cards to the gallery as they’re announced

And it—the game, that is, not the studio—is noteworthy because every pixel in it is “physically simulated,” which means that the entire game world will react to your actions. And because the game world is procedurally generated, Nolla said players can expect “a unique world” with changing environments every time they play. The trailer really does look spectacular: I have a very strong feeling that Noita is not the sort of game I’ll be able to play very well, but I definitely want to play it. For

There are a few things we know about AMD’s Ryzen Threadripper now. Second, Threadripper will come in two models initially, the 12-core/24-thread 1920X priced at $799, and a 16-core/32-thread 1950X priced at $999. The super-size-me approach apparently extends to the box as well, which appears to be the size of a moderate mini-ITX PC. That’s not necessarily a bad thing, because Threadripper is clearly going after the ‘bigger is better’ market, including professional workstations. While Intel’s Kab

You wouldn’t know it from the entirely mundane numbering scheme, but Vostok Games says the latest update to its online survival-shooter Survarium, taking it to version 0.47, is a particularly important one. The reason is simple: Along with a new game mode, character animations, and new weapons, it also includes the game’s first PvE story mission. The mission, set in a completely new location, will serve as a tutorial for newcomers, although the developer hopes that experienced players will find

You can chew on our thoughts here , but they should be caveated by the fact that until now we’ve seen precious little of the open world exploration—’patrol mode’, in Destiny parlance—that will account for much of the game. We knew we wanted to create a big weekly activity with an awesome reward that everybody could do that was focused on the open world. “We knew going into Destiny 2 that we wanted to create a big weekly activity with an awesome reward that everybody could do and that was focused

“Based on viewership numbers, it’s clear that the Twitch community has a passion for video games and classic programmatic television,” Twitch business development VP Ben Vallat said. Factory’s Starcade marathon, both of these passions are combined for an entertaining look at the past, while allowing them to be collectively viewed in an interactive manner that defines the future of television.”The Starcade marathon is being run in partnership with Shout!

You might want to send your PC out of the room while you read this sad bit of news: MS Paint, the pretty terrible yet still beloved image program that has shipped with Windows since version 1.0, may be on its poorly-drawn deathbed. Originally known as Paintbrush, Microsoft Paint (or MS Paint or just Paint) first appeared in 1985, but the Age of Paint may finally be drawing to a close. MS Paint now appears on Microsoft’s list of features to be deprecated in the Windows 10 Fall Creators update, wh

Even forgetting for a moment that cryptocurrency mining has led to a shortage of graphics cards for gamers, there is no room for your sympathy. This is the latest in the ongoing saga involving graphics cards and mining. But in this case, the markups on used cards are still insane. It contained eight AMD Radeon RX 580 graphics cards from various manufacturers. If we do the math on this one, that leaves leaves $3,708 for the graphics cards.

Are you running out of games to play on your PC? The more common scenario is to have a library full of games purchased on sale in hopes of eventually being able to actually play them. In the meantime, we can’t help but add to the pile with each new sale, so here we go again thanks to Green Man Gaming. Over 2,000 PC games will be available at a discount during Green Man Gaming’s summer sale, which is already in effect and runs through August 4. Here is a spattering of games that are currently mar

Normally, I’d say that you shouldn’t pour jet fuel into your gaming PC, but Vega is the exception. (Please don’t pour jet fuel on your PC, also, where did you get that jet fuel?) I don’t think this version of Vega is going anywhere, but it can certainly take you places. Feel free to hoist it into your arms and run around the room screaming ‘vroooom, pew-pew, I’m a space explorer!’ all you like though. For more information on the process, check out the official build log or S.PiC’s YouTube channe

Nvidia has another WHQL-certified Game Ready driver package available to download, which is highlighted by including optimizations and enhancements to LawBreakers’ official release. The new 384.94 release also brings performance tweaks to EVE: Valkyrie’s ultra graphics upgrade, Fortnite’s Early Access release, Ark: Survival Evolved’s official release, and the release of Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice. More often than not Nvidia’s drivers release without any major issues, though if you want to be s

If Fallout 3 welcomes you into the post-apocalypse with open arms, Fallout: New Vegas is its sarcastic, passive-aggressive cousin. During the quest One For My Baby, he confides in you—a stranger—and gives you his treasured 1st Recon beret, then provides you with a simple task. Making it happenAccording to One For My Baby’s writer, Eric Fenstermaker, this quest was part of the original proof-of-concept for Fallout: New Vegas shown to Bethesda. It’s such a great, self-contained tone piece because,

Tomasz Wacławek, the creator of the 2D turn-based stealth-combat game Ronin, has a new project arriving later this week called Immortal Planet, an isometric action-RPG he described as “a love letter to Dark Souls.” Immortal Planet puts a priority on a careful and deliberate approach to combat, rather than twitchy reflexes. “I wanted to create a game that would be my own take on [the] emerging genre of Souls-like games. For me, the core of a Souls-like game is the methodical combat where patience

The reason is because it is not capable of delivering a true HDR experience. The 25-inch display is the first from Dell to list “Dell HDR” in the spec sheet. “Dell pre-empts this by stating in the manual, ‘HDR: Adapted High Dynamic Range appropriate for monitor usage.’ That said, the review found that Dell’s monitor does properly track luminance to HDR10 and delivers an “excellent movie-watching experience.” Nevertheless, if it’s true HDR support you’re looking for, you’ll want to look for one t

Speaking via a Reddit AMA, creative director Greg Kasavin offered a glimpse into the behind the scenes workings of the developer. “There’s this massive, metal pit beneath a trapdoor in our office floor,” he tells one Reddit user. There’s no design document and we mostly just talk through everything, one small idea at a time. That’s how Bastion, Transistor, and Pyre all came about.” I’m not sure I entirely follow that statement, but I’m admittedly a huge fan of both Bastion and Transistor.
