Earlier this week, Prey for the Gods developer No Matter Studios announced that it was changing its name to ‘Praey for the Gods’ because of a trademark dispute from Bethesda. “If we don’t oppose the mark, we risk losing our Prey trademark. Mortensen said he respected the honest answer, and when he said it “still” wasn’t a great situation, Hines agreed. “I think you probably assume [No Matter Studios] are just now hearing from us and this is the only thing we’ve tried. “Scrolls would have superse

Last week, we saw a gameplay video of Marvel vs Capcom: Infinite, which showed off characters like Thor, Hawkeye, Strider Hiryu, and Chun-Li. With the arrival of that trailer, Capcom said we would get a look at Guardians of the Galaxy’s Rocket Raccoon at a later date. #GotGVol2 #ShamelessPlug #MovieTieIn pic.twitter.com/bxklyq642GMay 5, 2017Marvel vs Capcom: Infinite hits PC on September 19. With Rocket Raccoon’s return to the series, it further cements the idea that Infinite will focus on chara

The first chapter of The Dream Machine came out way back in, wow, December 2010, but the sixth and final episode of this claymation/cardboard/built-from-real-sets adventure game finally has a release date: May 11. That’s next week, or around two-and-a-half years since the last chapter released. “In the concluding chapter,” the Steam page for Chapter 6 explains, “Victor must journey to the heart of dreams in order to rescue his loved ones from the dream machine”. From what I’ve heard, each chapte

Most of the options are straightforward, though if you’re wondering what a high-static pressure fan is and why you might want it, you’ve come to the right place. One is high airflow, and these are rated by the amount of air they’re capable of blowing at full blast. Even though high-pressure static fans are more forceful than high airflow fans, they’re not necessarily loud. Corsair, for example, sells “Quiet Edition” high-static pressure fans. Set on low, these fans runs at 1,450 RPM and push 37.

Rime, lest we forget, is out May 26th, and us fans of ICO, Wind Waker, Studio Ghibli and other similar things are sure looking forward to setting sail for this island-based, puzzley adventure. If you’ve decided you’re not quite excited enough, or you’re teetering on top of a fence right now, you might be interested in the latest developer video diary, which goes into detail about Rime’s puzzles, exploration elements and animation. It doesn’t seem to spoil anything from Tequila Works’ game, so I

Earlier today, we learned about the Overwatch loot box drop rates in China, revealed by Blizzard as required by new Chinese law. Now we’ve got the same information for Hearthstone, which appears to dole out its best stuff at a slightly slower rate. What’s interesting is the very last line, which Redditor Czhihong translated to, “actual odds of getting better quality cards will increase in tandem as players open more packs.” That would seemingly confirm the existence of the so-called “pity timer,

The Republic of Gamers were back at DreamHack Austin with a bigger and better expo presence. The highlight was on the ROG Strix GD30 customizable desktop. Aura RGB lighting lets you play with over eight million colors and multiple effects displayed in the center of the motherboard. Fans lined up to play Overwatch in 3v3 online matches with Kephrii, and were able to snap photos and get autographs from him. Lastly, iSkys hosted a meet and greet with fans lining up for an autograph and a photo sess

Jarred Walton: Being PCVarious prophecies about the demise of PCs and PC gaming have been bandied about by naysayers for decades. And a driving force for that will be PC gaming hardware, where many of the greatest technological improvements have originated. Wes Fenlon: Rally for TacticsI could write a low about how Final Fantasy Tactics isn’t on PC, but I’m being optimistic instead. I had fun writing seven reasons why one of the best Final Fantasy games ever really needs to be on PC already . Wh

Meanwhile, GOG shed the original meaning of its name, Good Old Games, and built a client while staying DRM-free. Itch.io appeared on the scene and let anyone sell games for free, only taking a cut if the seller offers one. The end of SteamIf Steam disappeared, everything would probably stay pretty much the same. If we deposed Valve as the leader of PC game distribution, what could replace Steam? The idea of Steam introducing a DRM-free option might have seemed outlandish in the past, but GOG has

Outlast 2 is, by all reports, a very good horror game. Some players are apparently struggling with it, however, and so today developer Red Barrels released an update that dials things back a bit for players who want the horror experience without the punishing gameplay. “Today’s patch introduces some minor adjustments to the game’s difficulty in key areas and moments,” the studio said on Steam. “On Normal difficulty this will offer players a more appropriately balanced experience while still main

Darksiders 3 was first rumored, and then very quickly confirmed by THQ Nordic, earlier this week. It’s a “hack-n-slash adventure” starring a whip-wielding mage named Fury, who’s been charged by the Charred Council with hunting down the Seven Deadly Sins, who have taken up residence on an apocalypto’ed planet Earth. It’s not expected to be ready for release until sometime in 2018, but thanks to the magic of “pre-alpha” gameplay footage on IGN, we can get a look at what’s in store right now. It do

DeepCool is not unfamiliar with RGB lighting. The new Captain EX RGB coolers are the same as their non-RGB counterparts, but with variable RGB lighting added to the fray by way of an LED strip. DeepCool’s Captain EX line spans five different AIO liquid coolers, though just two will be give the RGB treatment—initially, at least. They include the Captain 120 EX RGB with a 120mm radiator and a single fan, and the Captain 240 EX RGB with a 240mm radiator and two cooling fans. They will be available

Back in 2015, the legendary painter Bob Ross very briefly turned the realm of Twitch chat into a place of brotherhood and love. Now, Bob is returning to the internet in a very different guise: As a skin for Sylvanus, one of the playable gods in the Hi-Rez MOBA Smite. The Bob Ross Bundle, which also includes a loading frame that makes all card art appear as a painting and a “paint splatter Jump Stamp,” was created “in close partnership” with Twitch and the Bob Ross estate, Hi-Rez said. The Bob Ro

It has taken more than a decade for another Prey game to debut, but after a tumultuous journey that saw the cancellation of a long-awaited sequel in 2014, Bethesda’s reboot (through Arkane Studios) is now here. So are new graphics drivers that promise optimized performance for Prey. We covered Nvidia’s latest Game Ready driver release (382.05) yesterday, and today we’re focusing on AMD’s latest Crimson ReLive driver package, version 17.5.1. The newest Crimson ReLive release also adds multi-GPU s

In that regard, Corsair makes some big promises with Carbide series Air 240, a high-airflow chassis for small for factor builds. If you’re interested in this case, you can snag it from Newegg for $52 after applying a promo code (EMCSRFRE2) and cashing in a $20 mail-in-rebate. Corsair includes two 120mm fans in the front and one more up top. There are fan mounts to add a second 120mm fan up top, two more in the bottom, and one more on the side. On top of all that, there are spots to add two 80mm

The Humble Monthly Bundle is a “curated bundle of games,” valued at over $100 at retail, given to subscribers for $12 per month—or less if you sign up for longer-term subscription plan. Such as in the current bundle, which went live today with the Paradox space strategy game Stellaris on the marquee. The Humble Monthly Bundles include other games as well—it wouldn’t be much of a “bundle” if it was just one—but they like to keep the bonus stuff under wraps until the package has expired. You get t

Dell’s 27-inch S2716DGR monitor is back on sale, this time for $480 at Best Buy. That said, $480 is not the cheapest we’ve seen this display go for. You can get closer to that previous deal by scooping up an open box model from Best Buy. According to Best Buy, items marked as excellent look brand new and include all original parts and accessories. You can grab this monitor on sale at Best Buy here.

In speaking with Digitimes, Wah relayed that the demand for gaming PCs is heating up, and that he expects booming growth over the next five years. That in turn will prompt Dell to focus more of its efforts on PC gaming hardware. Dell has a vested interest in seeing the gaming PC market thrive. For example, Jon Peddie Research noted just a few months ago that sales of PC gaming hardware breached the $30 billion mark for the first time in 2016. In any event, PC gaming hardware seems to have found

With the 4X strategy game Endless Space 2 just a couple of weeks from release, Amplitude Studios and Sega have released the first in a series of four new trailers, each of them showcasing one of the game’s “X” features. First up, as determined by the traditional 4X hierarchy—that would be Xplore, Xpand, Xploit, and Xterminate—is “Explore.” At the beginning of Endless Space 2, your civilization has finally discovered the secret of “starlanes, the cosmic strings that connect planetary systems and

Around this time a month ago MSI rolled out a GeForce GTX 1080 Ti Sea Hawk graphics card with an all-in-one liquid cooler from Corsair. MSI is again giving the GTX 1080 Ti the liquid cooling treatment, though this time it’s teamed up with EK to offer a full-coverage waterblock that’s been fitted at the factory. The GeForce GTX 1080 Ti Sea Hawk EK X is not an all-in-one solution like the previous card. According to TechPowerUp, whereas the other card used the same PCB as found on the GeForce GTX
