Earlier this week, we showed you Tripwire Interactive’s president John Gibson chatting with Tom on the Dev Stage at this year’s PC Gamer Weekender. In case you missed that, John’s presentation explored what we can expect from Killing Floor: Incursion—the incoming VR-set Zed-slasher which indirectly follows Killing Floor and its sequel Killing Floor 2. Live from the PC Gamer Weekender Studio, the following short sees Chris this time in conversation with Mr Gibson, whereby the latter goes a little

In his early hands-on last week, Leif Johnson told us The Elder Scrolls Online nails the magic and weirdness of Morrowind—but can your PC handle a revamped return to Ald Velothi, Molag Mar, Balmora and beyond? ZeniMax Online Studios can now help you answer that question, having revealed the minimum and recommended system requirements needed to revisit the land first conceived some 15 years ago. “With The Elder Scrolls Online: Morrowind launching in just a few weeks, we want to make sure you’ll b

Payday 2 publisher 505 Games has announced a partnership with Remedy Entertainment—the studio responsible for the likes of Alan Wake, Max Payne and Quantum Break. This joint statement describes the new venture as a “cinematic third person action game” that’s set in a “Remedy-created universe.” It continues: “Featuring an intriguing story and a game structure offering a long-lasting experience, P7 contains the deepest game mechanics yet in a Remedy game.” “505 Games brings into this partnership e

League of Legends goes through its fair share of metagame shifts. Then, of course, there’s the infamous tank meta. Her new passive, Fury of the North, basically turns her into even more of a tank if she hasn’t been hit in a while. They can be launched from any point, to anywhere, and any enemy they hit gets caught up in their path. Too strong, and you’re begun a new tank meta which feels awful and is characterized by meaty, unkillable monsters wet noodle fighting in top lane.

Long the bugbear (or outright menace) of many a Steam user, Valve’s approach to customer support has long been criticised. It also rolls out a new support-oriented stats page, which will live permanently on the site and provide ongoing data on how the company is dealing with its support workload. For example, did you know Valve receives “around” 75,000 help requests a day, and that there’s usually “around” 8,000 pending requests at any given point in time? At the time of writing, Steam has recei

Whether Strafe turns out to be good or not, at least we’ll have the trailers. This latest one celebrate’s the game’s imminent launch – May 9 to be exact – and it shares the thick ’90s aesthetic that the original trailer did. That feature is “secrets”, and while secrets are a given in a rogue-like, the secrets in Strafe look really cool – if I’m interpreting the trailer correctly. Towards the end you’ll see a monochrome rendition of Wolfenstein 3D and also a glimpse at a sparse polygonal forest.

Like our reviewer Tom Marks, I wavered between joy and utter despair while playing Yooka-Laylee, but a new patch will hopefully mitigate the latter. That’s because, according to Playtonic Games, the patch will allow you to “reduce those pesky gibberish voices”, ie, make them go faster or potentially skip them altogether. The gibberish voices are the game’s stand-in for actual voiceovers, a harkening back to the way dialogue was handled in Banjo-Kazooie. Either way, the patch will let you enjoy i

Clearly he’s not the only one excited: the game hit Kickstarter yesterday for some supplementary funding, and smashed its $750,000 target in a day. “We’ve got private backing that will allow us to produce a core viable product,” Intrepid Studios writes. ” What Kickstarter will allow us to do is expand our scope and give our team flexibility and room to breathe. We need your voices to help grow this community, and to keep us accountable to those who matter most, the players.” Later on, the studio

As game bundle names go, the Humble Very Positive Bundle does not exactly roll off the tongue. For the $1 minimum (to unlock Steam keys), you will get Super Mega Baseball: Exta Innings (90% positive), The Deadly Tower of Monsters Special Edition (90% positive), and They Bleed Pixels (88% positive). Surpass the average, which at the moment is a little under $6, and you’ll add Hacket (93% positive), Crashlands (90% positive, and also my personal favorite of the bunch), and UnderRail (88% positive)

Last month’s announcement of the Nier: Automata DLC “3C3C1D119440927″—and yes, that’s it’s actual title—drew quite a bit of attention by promising to give players the ability to fight Square Enix CEO Yosuke Matsuda and Platinum Games CEO Kenichi Sato. But as today’s launch trailer makes clear, the fact that you can fight them doesn’t necessarily mean you’re going to beat them. The 3C3C1D119440927 launch trailer is a very danceable montage of combat, with swords swinging and explosions popping an

This guide is here to give you a bit of insight if you’re looking for a rig that won’t break the bank. (If you think $800 is too expensive for a “budget” build, we suggest you check out our “cheap” gaming PC build which aims for a ~$500 price point.) But those aren’t usually constraints on a budget build. If you’re looking for more options, we’d suggest a Z270-based motherboard, but those will tack on $40 or more. Fractal Design is one of our favorite case manufacturers, and the Core 1100 is a g

One of them is for a Linksys WRT1200AC. Linksys has its WRT1200AC on sale for $100, and if you input promo code FATWALLET30 (make sure to use all caps), it brings the price down to $70. The WRT1200AC ships in the styling of the WRT54G, one of the most popular routers of all time. And for connecting external drives and printers, there is a USB 3.0 port and a USB 2.0/eSATA combo port. You can grab the router on sale here.

A few months ago, Hearthstone unveiled the Heroic Tavern Brawl, transforming the usually-jovial weekly Tavern Brawl into a cutthroat, arena-like gauntlet with a $10 entry fee and the promise of massive prizes. This week, Heroic Tavern Brawl is back, but with a Wild twist. This is the second instance in recent days of Blizzard showing some love to the Wild format. As before, this Heroic Tavern Brawl has an entry fee of $9.99 or 1000 gold, and offers glorious riches for those who can complete the

EVGA offers a total of seven GeForce GTX 1080 Ti models, almost all of which are entirely air cooled. The lone exception is EVGA’s new GeForce GTX 1080 Ti SC2 Hybrid Gaming (11G-P4-6598-KR), which combines an all-in-one liquid cooling solution with air cooling to keep things nice and chilly. In this instance, there are nine additional sensors strategically placed, along with multiple MCUs (memory controller units) embedded on the PCB. At the very least, the card should not throttle as much as a

That’s the older brother that Quake Champions has to live up to—arguably the purest multiplayer FPS ever made. As you’d expect, Quake Champions is the best that Quake has ever looked, and it’s exciting to see familiar weapons and map styles reborn in 2017. QuakewatchDespite this controversial addition of abilities to Quake, playing Champions like it’s Overwatch is a fast way to end up dead. When Quake Champions was first announced last summer, barely a month after Overwatch released, I worried t

For millions of players, Morrowind was their introduction to the world of The Elder Scrolls, but even Elder Scrolls veterans who cut their teeth on Arena and Daggerfall left Morrowind with an impression that lasted. Vvardenfell is a memorable place, more outlandish than anything seen in the Elder Scrolls games that preceded or followed it. Since both Oblivion and Skyrim came with their own Creation Kits, they were just as moddable as Morrowind. Iredale isn’t bothered, saying, “There is a good ch

The fourth of May is almost upon us, and you know what that means: The official start of summer will be only 48 days away! It is also, for some reason, the catalyst for a Star Wars sale on GOG, which is now offering up to 77 percent off on games including Battlefront 2, Empire at War, KOTOR and KOTOR 2, and Republic Commando. The “up to” qualifier is important because, as GOG explained in a follow-up email, it initially launched the sale with the discount applied across the board, to all its Sta

However, the most interesting thing to happen to raiding in recent years didn’t happen on PC. At their best and most hectic, Destiny raids feel like trying to perform interpretive dance while taking small arms fire. Raid: King’s FallEncounter: Oryx, The Taken KingThe sizeable Taken King expansion revitalized every aspect of Destiny, including raiding. As with all Destiny raids, the hard mode version is especially brutal since you can’t be revived mid-fight. You haven’t done anything exactly like

There are a couple of reasons to consider EVGA’s GeForce GTX 1060 Gaming ACX 2.0 (03G-P4-6160-KR). For today only, the card is marked down to $170, plus there is a $20 mail-in-rebate available. This card measures 172.72mm (around 6.8 inches), versus 266.7mm (around 10.5 inches) for a standard size GTX 1060. It also features EVGA’s custom ACX 2.0 cooling solution, which is a dual-slot cooler with a single fan. You can grab the EVGA GeForce GTX 1060 Gaming ACX 2.0 on sale here.

Bandai Namco’s upcoming action-RPG Code Vein hasn’t been confirmed for the PC, but on the other hand it hasn’t actually been confirmed for any platforms yet. That, to my mind, means we have as much right to feast our eyes on the debut trailer as anyone else. You’ll fight using a variety of weapons and styles, with “partnered coordination and Blood Veil enhancements” that can boost your abilities and drain those of your enemies. “Use your combined strength to coordinate your approach and defend e
