Over the last two weeks, Capcom dropped a parade of weapon breakdown videos showcasing the new Boost Bracer mechanics coming in the Monster Hunter Wilds: Ascendance expansion. Serving as a sort of on-demand sicko mode, the Boost Bracer lets hunters juice their combat actions with additional speed and impact, and adds some deliciously over-the-top attacks to the existing weapon movesets.PC Gamer spoke to some of the lead Monster Hunter developers...
Gears of War: E-Day is set to launch on October 6, though there's early access available before then. In the lead up to launch, The Coalition has posted expanded system requirements for the upcoming bug blast. These include what the game asks of your rig for top performance on the top settings—it's not easygoing, to say the least—but providing your GPU is at least capable of ray tracing, most should...
Judging by the November release schedule, few publishers will dare release within spitting distance of GTA 6. Which is understandable, but it's caused a massive bottleneck in October: Ace Combat 8, Gears of War: E-Day, Star Wars: Galactic Racer and Modern Warfare 4 will all release next month. And that's not including all the other anticipated games not under the wings of a major publisher. I'm talking about a new...
Over the last three years, since the Wilds of Eldraine set, Magic: The Gathering's core expansions have been building to a climactic storyline. It's very comic book, a multiverse-threatening crossover that's been set off by the planeswalker Jace Beleren trying to create a new multiverse, one that's free of all the threats Magic's setting has faced in recent years—Phyrexians, Eldrazi, etcetera—but which will overwrite the existing multiverse once it's complete.This...
The Blood of Dawnwalker is a pretty excellent RPG, but there's one aspect of it that not everyone loves: Time. Simply put, it's a limited resource in the game, which restricts what Coen—that's you—can do. Our reviewer, Australian editor Shaun Prescott, found it injected a sense of urgency into the game, at least in the early going, but said he'd "also like to pick some nirnroot and play some Gwent,...
There exists in classed-based military shooters an understanding: Never count on a random medic to care about you.You'd think in games where players have to opt into the support role, it'd be as simple as "There's a medic nearby, they'll try to get me," but any Battlefield player will tell you how often trained doctors trample over their corpse, more hungry to end a life than save one. So you...
As reported by TorrentFreak, the ubiquitous DRM producer, Denuvo, is attempting to take one of its biggest foes to court over their work circumventing the antipiracy measures on games like Hogwarts Legacy and Black Myth: Wukong. The case is unique in that it comes from Denuvo and not one of the individual copyright-holders of an affected game.The target of the lawsuit, who goes by "voices38" on various channels, is particularly...
Just four months after the release of Zero Parades: For Dead Spies, and two months after laying off a significant number of employees, Studio ZA/UM has announced Zero Parades: Director's Cut, a major update that will add roughly 40,000 words of new content, a new encounter, and other improvements and fixes.From the announcement on Steam: "Zero Parades: Director's Cut is the definitive edition of our espionage RPG, bringing more story,...
It feels a bit like we're in the long wait before the hardware world returns to normal, doesn't it? Thanks to the global memory shortage, when memory-clad products launch at all they're slapped with dizzying price tags. Given this, hearing that we're only going to see one next-gen GPU next year feels about right. And apparently it won't be a top-end one, either.That is what we are hearing from prolific...
Back in May, myself and some of the fantastic PC Gaming Show team went to Finland to interview the brilliant creative minds at Remedy. We learned a lot about Control Resonant, the upcoming ARPG sequel to 2019's Control. We showed you a snippet of those interviews in our June PC Gaming Show, but now, we've declassified the full video.In case you need a refresher, Resonant follows Dylan Faden, brother of...
