Nvidia released some of the first PC footage of Destiny 2 earlier this week and while it looks shiny and clean, something is amiss. Now now, play how you will, but having spent an evening with Destiny 2, several mice, and a few lucky keyboards, it’s not something to take for granted. To think we were worried Bungie’s skill with gamepad FPS design wouldn’t translate to our favorite control method. It’s the very first campaign mission, and since it’s my sixth time or so running it, I got a bit sho

While Planet Coaster’s free spring update introduced vandals, CCTV and pickpockets into its fairgrounds, the theme park simulator’s summer update adopts a more jovial tone. Due to arrive on June 27, the Summer Update brings with it new rides, customisable wall panels and player-controlled firework displays. Anyway, Planet Coaster’s Summer Update also adds “fully customisable” wall panels and screens that allow for personalised images and videos, and a new ‘Flatride Sequencer’ lets you control yo

More of Ni No Kuni 2 has been shown off at E3, with Evan and his pals getting into a couple of tense battles. Ni No Kuni 2 is more action-focused, and it looks a lot less fiddly as a result. While the demo was focused on combat, the new kingdom system was also teased. Ni No Kuni 2 begins with Evan being ousted from his kingdom because he’s just not a very good ruler. Ni No Kuni 2 is due out in November.

The Monster Hunter series began life in 2004 as a PlayStation 2 exclusive, and has since spawned a number of sequels and spin-offs. Before now not one of these follow-ups managed to find their way onto desktops, which makes the newly revealed Monster Hunter: World all the more special. As you might’ve spied earlier this week: Monster Hunter is finally coming to PC. And here’s the company CEO on MH: World’s multiplayer: “Monster Hunter [previously] had a four-player multiplayer system so you coul

When Metro Exodus was unveiled at E3, it looked very much like a mix of the previous Metro games and Stalker, particularly when we got a look at Artyom’s large map. “First and foremost we’re not moving away from the classic linear Metro gameplay,” executive producer Jon Bloch told PCGamesN. “There’s large levels that offer a lot more freedom, they’re non-linear, but we will have a story wrapped into them,” Bloch explained. “So the story will carry through across the non-linear and linear levels.

“Dawn of War 3 was meant to reunite our Dawn of War and Dawn of War II fans with a bombastic, action-RTS packed with incredible heroes, giant space lasers, and whole, new planets made of things that go BOOM,” reads the community update. The game’s single multiplayer mode is excellent, combining MOBAs with traditional RTS fare, but it’s not really enough to support a game with a strong multiplayer focus. So now Annihilation modes are coming. “We’ll release them unlocked, for all players, for use

We’ve written before about how the NZXT S340 case is the best budget ATX mid-tower case you can buy, and today you can find it for cheaper than it’s ever been. Grab one for $50 on Newegg while the sales last. Alternatively you can get the Glossy Black Steel version for the same price, but the sale price will only last until tomorrow. Whichever model you get, there’s a $15 rebate card you’ll need to use to take the price down to $50. There is room for water cooling though, and there’s plenty of r

Crackdown 3’s explosive sandbox can be blasted through, if you’re in a hurry, in less than three hours, developer Sumo Digital has said. Trash a city for a couple of hours and you’re done. With all the collectibles, secrets and ancillary stuff, the game is obviously too big to be fully completed in less than three hours, and a typical playthrough will take about 12-16 hours. “That’s what we’re doing internally,” Sumo Digital told PCGamesN, “and we can guarantee that’s what other people will do a

I spoke to Jake Solomon to learn more, and discovered that almost every aspect of the game has been retouched and expanded upon. You send soldiers to aid resistance activities to improve your standing with a given resistance faction, unlocking leads on the Chosen along with strategic orders and resistance soldiers for hire. In War of the Chosen soldiers become tired if you use them in multiple successive missions. “It’s up to players to decide what a bond represents” says Jake Solomon, diplomati

Metal Gear Survive, Konami’s weird, post-Kojima spin-off, won’t be launching this year as planned. Instead, it’s been pushed back to early 2018, the publisher confirmed at E3. It’s not a huge delay, only a few months, and the extra time will be spent polishing the game. More polish is undoubtedly a good thing, especially since Metal Gear Survive is likely to have an uphill struggle converting fans of the series who are used to Kojima’s direction and are maybe a bit hesitant about a Metal Gear zo

What do pint-sized superheroes get up to in strip clubs? It’s mainly farting, according to new South Park: The Fractured But Whole footage. The South Park heroes are hunting for a stripper with a penis tattoo, and in an attempt to get some information, they end up giving a pair of drunks a private dance. After the lap dance, we see a bit of combat. South Park: The Fractured But Whole is due out on October 17.

Since launching into Steam’s Early Access initiative back in January, Conan Exiles has endured a mixed reception. Nevertheless, developer Funcom has stuck to its guns with regards to its long-term plan—having now revealed a new and incoming region of its game world: the “frozen highlands in the north.” Here’s a glimpse at the new zone in motion:Poe adds: “As the game is still in Early Access, everyone who has already bought or decides to buy the game while it’s still in development will get acce

As you may have gathered from its reveal footage, Wolfenstein 2’s interpretation of 1960s America doesn’t exactly mirror reality. “The New Colossus takes place in 1961, but it’s not like the 1960s that we have in the real world. And now for those moving pictures:Matthies continues, suggesting he and his team have been given “amazing creative freedom” to create something that’s “absolutely fearless from a story perspective.” “I mean, we do a lot of dumb things, but that’s because they’re fun. It’

With themes of introspection, failure and self-doubt again central to its narrative, it’s hard not to feel for beleaguered protagonist Sebastian Castellanos. And the latest story trailer from Bethesda serves to underscore Seb’s suffering further still. Carrying on directly from the events of its first outing, The Evil Within 2 kicks off by dropping a pretty significant story-related bombshell. Unable to find any solid leads, Sebastian has become emotionally broken and has fallen back on his old

First of all there was Overwatch: Uprising. If Overwatch was a co-op game, Uprising would be the tutorial level. Some of these stories would fall flat in prose, but a cooperative campaign could make them sing. The real hurdle that’s probably preventing Riot from rolling out a cooperative campaign any time soon? Needless to say, preparing and launching a single player campaign would probably take far more than worrying about a champion’s wardrobe.

While the rest of the team made their way through the endless sea of games, I went and visited Intel to demo its new partnership with HTC on a true wireless solution for its Vive VR headset. The prototype was a retail Vive headset that had its wires plugged into a WiGig unit Intel created that provided both image lines and power. The WiGig prototype unit was strapped onto the top of the Vive headset, which made for a much heavier feel. Although my game time with the wireless Vive headset was sho

But having now played Metal Gear Survive I realise the game doesn’t need to compete with its predecessors. Billed as a spin-off, Survive takes place in an alternate MGS timeline, and will feature a full single-player campaign, though that wasn’t on show today. Do the wormholeOur quartet of press sneaks was dropped into some scrubland that looked familiar from The Phantom Pain. “Don’t start it up yet,” advised our the Konami rep. (I think I got to the end of Phantom Pain still regularly swapping

But E3 2017 has also been good for PC games across the show. Here’s our list of every game shown at E3, including what we know about its release date and PC outlook. E3 gave us our first look at Battlefront 2 gameplay footage, and it’s predictably just as ridiculously pretty as the first game. Early 2018A unique co-op game from the creator of Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons. And overall, the promise of a more RPG-leaning, Egypt-based open world adventure does sound appealing.

Whether or not you’re personally excited for Destiny 2, the hype certainly seems to be real on the E3 show floor this year. Only three minutes after the doors opened for the first day of E3 this morning, the public line to play Destiny 2 was already completely full and had to be closed. Many of those he encountered came to E3 just for Destiny, and didn’t appear surprised by the long wait. The line for Destiny 2 hands on hit capacity and had to be capped three minutes after show open. Please don’

In Far Cry 5, where you’ll be taking back settlements by murdering every bad guy in them, stealth still works perfectly fine. But as I found out, it might be the most unexciting way to play Far Cry this time around. I spot about 10 men right away, but figure there are more strewn about through the buildings lining main street. Far Cry 5’s marketing may be self-serious, and it won’t address the real and gross ideologies used as indirect backdrops for its story. Even if Far Cry 5 can’t get its hea
