Now in full release, the makers of The Elder Scrolls: Legends have at this point probably abandoned any hope of making a serious dent in Hearthstone’s player base. The animation accompanying the Shout was suitably bombastic, although the ‘Fus Ro Dah’ audio remains to be added. Mentor of the Watch is a 3 magicka, Endurance, 2/2 Imperial with the text: ‘Prophecy, Guard, Summon: Give a creature in your hand Guard. Dragon Cult Ghost is a 3 magicka, Endurance, 3/3 Spirit with the text: ‘Spend all you

The Wingsuit was introduced to the Far Cry series in Far Cry 3, and carried over into Far Cry 4. It wasn’t available in Far Cry Primal for obvious reasons, and it hasn’t been seen in any Far Cry 5 coverage so far either. But executive producer Dan Hay let slip in an interview with RajmanGaming that it will indeed be back. “And what’s cool about it is that we didn’t just put in the wing suit, we actually built a character that’s this legendary stuntman that’s from Montana—our character. We got so

Rogue Trooper Redux, the modernization of Rebellion’s 2006 third-person shooter based on the Rogue Trooper comic, was announced in March and then teased in May with a CGI trailer introducing the blue-skinned GI. Now it’s time to lay eyeballs on some proper gameplay in a new trailer narrated by Rich May, a programmer on the original game. “We’ve also tweaked the gameplay slightly with a few little additions to bring it up to date to modern standards.” The trailer shows off lots of combat, as you’

Bethesda taking another stab at paid mods—despite saying that Creation Club isn’t paid mods. But the Creation Club mods should be free. Google “Doom mods” and you’ll get pages of mods (plus stories and videos about those mods) for the original Doom, not the new Doom. This makes a solution that works for everyone obvious: Bethesda should hire modders for its Creation Club, pay them, and curate their mods. Modders will get paid by Bethesda, Bethesda will get paid by continuing sales of its moddabl

We got our first real look at BioWare’s new game , Anthem, at the Microsoft E3 press conference earlier this week. To reuse a headline: We have mixed feelings about Anthem. We’ve assembled the team to sort out our hopes and worries about BioWare’s course shift into the ‘live service’ waters. It’s almost like we don’t really know enough about Anthem. I don’t know what’s special about Anthem, even after seeing it ‘played.’ I do look forward to finding out, though!

The zombie-survival game Dying Light was first released in early 2015, which means that in videogame terms it’s getting pretty long in the tooth. The studio announced today that it will release ten more pieces of DLC for the game over the next 12 months, all of it free. “Almost three years after the original Dying Light was released, about half a million people still play the game every week. In the very first months on the market in 2015, the weekly numbers were around 700,000. “Today I’m happy

At the top of Mushkin’s SATA 6Gbps stack is its new Reactor Armor3D line. The 240GB version offers up sequential read performance of up to 565MB/s but sequential write performance of just 300MB/s, the latter of which is nothing to boast about. The drive’s 4k random read and write performance check in at up to 63,000 IOPS and 70,000 IOPS, respectively. Sequential read performance is the same for both the 480GB and 960GB models, which is effectively the limit of the SATA connection. The 512GB mode

Multiplayer.it (via Neptune Games) painted an even bleaker picture of the situation, however, when it quoted game director Luke Smith as saying that the PS4 exclusives would would “never” be released for other platforms. A year is a hell of a wait by any measure, but “never” is a whole different ballgame. Speaking of which, it’s amusing to see Smith also admitting that Bungie actually had no idea what ‘The Darkness’—the nebulous antagonist from Destiny 1—was. For more coverage of Destiny 2, be s

Like Amnesia: The Dark Descent, Call of Cthulhu is a first-person survival horror game with a sanity system. So picture this: a Gone-Home-esque detective game with investigation scenes that play out like Ace-Attorney-lite, interspersed with puzzle and monster evasion sections. Throughout Call of Cthulhu, you’ll meet more than a dozen characters, all of whom you’ll have a ‘status’ with based on how your interactions with them go. But I don’t quite understand how the skill points and XP will distr

If you’re looking to jump into VR gaming but find yourself with a woefully outdated PC, Best Buy has a bundle offer that might interest you. The retail chain is currently offering a mid-range HP Omen system with a GeForce GTX 1060 inside and an Oculus Rift headset for $1,000. You also get a $100 Oculus Store credit to boot. Oculus Touch controllers are not included, but even after adding them for $100, you still come out ahead. Some online stores give us a small cut if you buy something through

The latest Crimson ReLive driver package addresses an issue where performance is lower than expected with the latest game build when using 8XMSAA. The release notes for Crimson ReLive 17.6.2 make no mention of any other changes, which makes sense since this is an incremental update over the previous Crimson ReLive 17.6.1 release. Apparently the driver release was not living up to its promise, at least in Dirt 4, hence the incremental update. While the latest driver package fixes a performance is

Bethesda announced Doom VFR at its pre-E3 press as a VR shooter for the Vive and PlayStation VR, set for release later this year. It’s virtual reality Doom, so… what’s the “F?” The same thing it stands for in BFG https://t.co/Jc8Q01uQ6GJune 15, 2017In retrospect, I suppose that makes perfect sense. For those of you unfamiliar with what the “F” in “BFG stands for, BioWare’s Mike Laidlaw explained. Bethesda didn’t reveal any more details about Doom VFR at E3, but it’s available for pre-purchase

Whenever I think of Cyanide Studio’s upcoming RPG-investigate ’em up slant on Call of Cthulhu, I’m reminded of Jonathan Bolding’s article last year that asked: Can Call of Cthulhu ever be a good videogame? Within, the author chats to lead developer Jean-Marc Gueney about how Cyanide is tackling the esteemed name, and also explores why it’s so difficult to capture Lovecraft in a videogame. What we’ve seen of Cyanide’s angle so far shows much promise—be that while exploring themes of madness and c

Hobbyist modder Abject has spent the past several months crafting some weird and wonderful Dark Souls mods, the best of which transport other games into the nightmarescape of Lordran. Shovel Souls is easily my pick of Abject’s bunch—although this tongue-in-cheek in-development Fidget Spinners mod is good fun—however the creator’s latest work-in-progress is also pretty cool. Doom Souls, as the name suggests, brings Doom 2016 and the original Dark Souls together—adding a Doom-inspired HUD and obje

To tide you over until the release date, you could check out the two previous games in the series, Metro: 2033 and Metro: Last Light. You can grab them both in the Metro Redux Bundle at Bundle Stars today for 75 percent off. Based on the novels by Dmitry Glukhovsky, the Metro games are set in a post-apocalyptic world where survivors in Russia fled to the Moscow underground system. The price cut takes the bundle down to £6.24/$7.49, down from the usual price of £25 / $29.98, which it is on Steam

Sundered is a game which has steadily impressed me since Andy first reported on it last year. In case this is the first you’re hearing of it, it’s a two-dimensional eldritch horror-style Metroidvania from Jotun devs Thunder Lotus Games. Ahead of its launch next month, Thunder Lotus has teased the game’s fourth boss, Nyarlathotep. “Here, we’re putting the stark contrasts at the thematic core of Sundered on full display. Sundered is due next month.

It was a shock to see Beyond Good and Evil 2 on stage during Ubisoft’s E3 conference earlier this week, particularly when creator Michel Ancel previously suggested it wouldn’t appear at the show at all. In an interview with The Verge (via Videogamer), despite the hype, Ancel has now described the status of Beyond Good and Evil 2 as at “day zero of development”—which speaks directly to this omission. “When you don’t have this technology, you can’t really start the game,” says Ancel. It is here th

Level 5 and Bandai Namco’s first Ni No Kuni game was exclusive to PlayStation 3, however we learned this year that, rather surprisingly, its follow-up—Ni No Kuni 2: Revenant Kingdom—is heading to PC. “There’s a lot of changes but I think the biggest one is a shift in perspective,” he says. In the first game a lot of the perspective was from the point of view of a child whereas now we are looking at it from a more adult perspective. There are similar characters in Ni No Kuni 2. Ni No Kuni 2: Reve

Shortly after its E3 reveal, Bo detailed what you need to know about Forza Motorsport 7’s PC incarnation, covering everything from its proposed launch date to compatible peripherals and frame rate support. Microsoft has now announced the system requirements you’ll need to power up the incoming racer, which you can handily add to the above linked list. Graphics: NVIDIA GT 740 or NVIDIA GTX 650 or AMD R7 250X. Integrated Keyboard and MouseForza Motorsport 7 is due October 3, 2017. Check out our co

Head Coach, Jeremy, Lead Strategist, Kitta, and Player Development Expert, Zach, all offered a unique take on player positioning and how Mercy adds a new dimension to the current meta. To start, they identified a couple of key reasons why Mercy is used aside from her newfound immunity to damage on res. As solid as he is, Zach brought up an interesting point in regards to his difficulties with finding the best positioning. “We have situations where he gets very aggressive with his positioning,” Z
