Star Citizen alpha 4.8 goes live today, and with it comes a much more far-reaching wipe than developer Cloud Imperium Games had originally suggested. In its initial announcement, the studio listed a plan to clear out players’ in-game resources, vehicles bought with the in-game currency aUEC, and that currency balance itself. However, plans to leave players with ships and gear that were obtained through trading with NPC Wikelo caused community concerns. In response, CIG is now deploying a more substantial trim. “We’ve been closely following the conversation surrounding 4.8’s upcoming wipe and wanted to give you an updated heads-up regarding…
You might have more luck finding a four-leaf clover than being able to buy NeeDoh; it’s rough out there so far as stock is concerned. However, impossible odds have never stopped me… and you can find the hyper-viral toy if you look hard enough.That’s where I come in. I spend a lot of my time covering the best toys and working out where to get them when availability is low, so I’ve put that training to good use here. You’ll see where to buy NeeDoh below or, if stock is kaput, an indication of where it’s likely to appear next.Because…
The Teamfight Tactics patch 17.3 notes have finally arrived, and boy am I glad to see them. The past several weeks have been rather miserable, as I’ve continuously faced the odious choice between multiple low-cost reroll lines, Marauder Yi, or, if I get a cheeky little emblem, Dark Star. The current meta has been one of my least favorite in a hot minute, but that could be about to change. Alongside a rebalancing quite literally across the board, certain augments are now banned depending on the opening encounter, six Anima Squad actually looks playable, and Morgana’s a four-cost tank now…
A real-life treasure hunt based on Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced is starting later this year, with a prize valued at $500,000.Run by French company Unsolved Hunts, the treasure hunt is named Gold & Crystal: The Lost Treasure of Edward Kenway, a reference to the game’s protagonist.Players who want to take part in the treasure hunt will have to buy a pack from Unsolved Hunts, with the hunt officially starting on November 9.The hunt will consist of 15 riddles, which players will have to solve to find the location of a treasure chest buried in the Caribbean. When players solve…
The only letdown about Heroes of Might and Magic: Olden Era’s hotseat multiplayer mode is the fact that we can’t team up. My brother looks at me plaintively as he clicks about the lobby screen, trying in vain to change his hero’s little color marker to the same rich shade of purple as mine. I remind him that this is just the beginning for Unfrozen’s gorgeous new strategy-RPG; it’s in Early Access right now, with the passionate developer using player feedback to chart its course, so hotseat team-up is probably coming later. He huffs at me, unconvinced, and starts the…
Former Call of Duty: Black Ops designer David Vondehaar is making some kind of shooter for GreaterThan Group – the holding company recently founded by a former NetEase executive, who are also funding development of Star Wars: Fate of the Old Republic. What manner of shootybooty might this be? Well, Vondehaar is making allusions to the work of David Lynch – the beautiful crackpot behind such films and shows as Eraserhead, Twin Peaks and Lost Highway, whose impact on videogames extends from Silent Hill to Kentucky Route Zero, but who never, I think, developed a game himself.
I’m a clumsy person. I trip over things a lot. I walk into things a lot. I drop things a lot. While I’m much more careful with my tech than I am for less expensive items, there is a high likelihood that something somewhere is hitting the deck because I got distracted. Thankfully, someone who isn’t me has realized that, if you drop Valve’s new Steam Controller, it screams, Wilhelm-style. Because honestly, why not? In our Steam Controller review, Ed awards Valve’s latest tech a coveted 9/10, writing that “the Steam Controller feels like an effortlessly essential addition to most PC…
Valve is back with another big Steam update after its storefront revamp last month, and this time, it targets the Community Market – a place very familiar to Counter-Strike 2 fans.It is, after all, the home to all those pricey knife skins – and, if you’re me, the spot you go to if you want another unnecessary (but cute) Don’t Starve Together accessory. So, what is Valve bringing to the table with its new update? As outlined over on Steam, there’s quite a lot… and unsurprisingly, the company has been testing it with Counter-Strike items, using its skins to “experiment”…
Subnautica 2 developer Unknown Worlds has confirmed that “unofficial builds” of the survival game have leaked out to the public, just prior to its launch. The studio does not give details on how this happened, and warns that any versions made available are incomplete, do not represent the final game, and “cannot be verified for safety or stability.” After such a rollercoaster ride through its creation, it’s one final wave across the bow as Unknown Worlds finally brings it into port. In a statement to IGN, the Subnautica 2 maker says, “We’ve identified that unofficial builds of Subnautica 2 are…
The indie studio behind the recently released Outbound has apologised for asking a player to remove their negative review.Outbound is a cosy exploration game developed by Square Glade Games, where players drive an empty camper van around an open world and attempt to turn it into a home by collecting materials to decorate it and using technology to power it.The game was released on May 11 on PC and Xbox (including Game Pass), and is coming to PS5, Switch and Switch 2 on May 14, but it’s the Steam version that’s been gathering some controversy.As initially screenshotted and shared on…
