But while that trailer gave us a good idea of Nightingale’s alternate history fantasy setting, it gave less away on what the game will actually be like to play - and what might have changed since it was originally teased as an online multiplayer RPG. I chatted with Flynn via Zoom last week, shortly before The Game Awards, to find out more. “We had imagined the kinds of things we would build in this game, and the kinds of things players would get to do in this game,” Flynn says when I ask about the change in genre label....

In a new progress video for the mod, project lead Dean Carter stated: “We have always maintained that if [The Queen] was to pass away before the mod was complete, we would change it. As such, here is the official announcement to notify you all that, we are changing it” (thanks, PC Gamer). Carter did not elaborate on what the Fallout London team was going to change this all to, instead saying fans would have to hold tight and be patient on this front....

The huge cache of leaked information - apparently gleaned from the files of a Warzone Mobile alpha build - detailed elements from several upcoming games, including the next release from Black Ops studio Treyarch, due in 2024. Details were posted to Twitter by user RealiityUK, whose account has now been suspended, though a description of what was posted remains on reddit. Referred to as “T10”, the unnamed Treyarch game seems certain to be another entry in the studio’s popular Black Ops subseries, which most recently visited the Cold War....

Reporter Matthew Keys tweeted to say the crime is related to the high-profile Rockstar hack. More information is expected later today. ORIGINAL STORY 20/09/22: The hacker who claimed responsibility for this weekend’s enormous leak of Grand Theft Auto 6 material is now being investigated by the FBI. The same attacker also said they were behind last week’s high-profile hack of ride app Uber, which has provided an update on its own investigations....

The highlight here is the handful of changes made to gameplay, specifically nerfs to the AI. The update reduces the effectiveness of AI-controlled players blocking lobbed passes and crosses, according to the patch notes. This is a significant and welcome change - prior to this patch, AI-controlled players were able to stretch too far when attempting to block lobbed passes and crosses. It was pretty annoying! Sticking with AI nerfs, CPU AI teams are now more likely to commit fouls during matches played on the semi-pro difficulty and above....

Nightclub events and parties are common in the MMORPG, often with DJ sets on Twitch. But owners of the Rain Nightclub bought four billboards in Texas and California to advertise their event, which included modded outfits and use of the Final Fantasy 14 logo (thanks PCGamer). The event is a beach party on the Balmung server on 9th July - this Saturday - that players can access with the new data centre travel feature....

Previously, Yoshida had told Uniqlo’s UT magazine - where he was featured to promote a new Final Fantasy t-shirt line - that Final Fantasy 16 was “in the final stages of development” and that the team hoped to deliver a “comprehensive” experience “full of story and gameplay”. In new comments made during a Nier Reincarnation and Final Fantasy 14 crossover livestream, as translated by Twitch streamer Audrey (thanks Polygon), Yoshida joked to interviewer and Nier producer Yosuke Saito that Square Enix’s American PR team “got mad” at him following the Uniqlo comments....

While Materia gives you spells and Summons provide powerful attacks, Weapons not only provide stat benefits but also give you a unique ability for each one found. These can also be permanently learnt by that character, making finding each individual weapon all the more important. This page provides lists of all weapons and their abilities in Final Fantasy 7 Remake, and where to find them - plus our recommendations of the best weapons to use for each party member....

A launch game for the console, it involves matching coloured fireworks and exploding them in chains for a long combo - and impressive display. Now it’s set to return as Fantavision 202X as a launch title for Sony’s next VR headset. Watch on YouTube Playstation VR2 New Release Announcements - Ian’s VR Corner As revealed on the PlayStation Blog, this new game is being developed and published by Cosmo Machia Inc....

Flight Simulator’s UK and Ireland World Update continues the stunning work seen in previous geographical overhauls for the United States and Japan, and includes improved aerial and elevation data, new landing challenges, “nearly 80” new points of interest, five new hand-crafted airports, plus five brand-new photogrammetry cities. As far as the new airports go, there’s Barra, Land’s End, Liverpool, Manchester-Barton, and Out Skerries, and the new photogrammetry cities were previously confirmed as Birmingham, Bristol, Cambridge, Oxford, and London....

This challenge sees a return to Catty Corner, which is also where you can search the Catty Corner Vault.

We’ve detailed the Guardian Shield locations in Fortnite below, along with how to block shots while holding the Guardian Shield.

On this page: Fortnite Guardian Shield locations The best way to find Guardian Shields in Fortnite is to search Oathbound Chests....

It’s available by engaging in two of the season’s new systems - hunting wildlife and crafting. Crafting a Hunter’s Cloak is also one of the early Seasonal challenges - so working out how to do it is not only a useful introduction to those systems, but a way to get some XP gains. Don’t forget to check out the new victory umbrella and map locations, along with where to find the golden artifacts....

There’s also a revamped battle pass system which has done away with the traditional levels 1-100 grind. Instead, levelling will give you “Stars” to spend on specific rewards you want, laid out over pages. Some items will require you to have finished off the rest of the page first, tempting you to level up further, but this should make nabbing individual items easier. In the story trailer, we see the Fortnite island’s inhabitants react to the arrival of an Independence Day-sized UFO, which hovers over the island and then appears to suck up its Zero Point energy source, destroying last season’s Spire and primal ruins in the process....

According to GAME’s announcement tweet, the stock refresh will include both disc and digital editions of PlayStation 5 - usually retailing for £449.99 and £359.99 respectively - alongside a currently unspecified selection of bundles, with everything due to go on sale via its website at the equally non-specific time of tomorrow “morning”. An online queuing system will once again be in place for those trying to order through GAME’s website to accommodate the significant amount of traffic expected, and, as the retailer puts it, to make the process “as smooth and fair as possible for our customers”....

As reported by VGC, the lawsuit was filed on 10th May in the Central District of California, representing class members (estimated to be as many as 10,000 individuals) who all paid for game grading and other services by Wata. It accuses Wata of “engaging in affirmative acts to manipulate the retro video game market” and of “engaging in unfair business practices”, specifically pointing the figure at Wata president and CEO Deniz Kahn....

Not only that, but there are two Gears 5 Achievements tied to them. One requires you to equip a Relic in every weapon slot, while the other needs you to kill one enemy with each individual Relic Weapon. Finding all Relic Weapons on your own can be a real hassle, so we’ve compiled a list of all their Relic Weapon locations - alongside what makes each one special - to save you some time and help out all you completionists out there....

The base game has 38 trophies on PS5 and 37 trophies on PS4, but as the game added the Inazuma region, it has received an additional 6 trophies in a Series II trophy update and 7 trophies in a Series III trophy update. A number of trophies are hidden too, which means that, while you know they exist, you might not know how to obtain them. While Genshin Impact is a massive live-service game that is seemingly impossible to fully complete, and will be more of a grind if you don’t intend to open up your wallet to help with gathering materials or using wishes to unlock its growing roster of playable characters, you’ll be glad to know that micro-transactions aren’t required to achieve any of the trophies....

Even though Genshin Impact makes it possible to complete most challenges without having all the best characters, understanding where a character is placed in relation to others helps you to make important decisions. Below you’ll find our Genshin Impact tier list and who are the best characters for main DPS, healing, and support in the gacha game, as of version 3.3 in January 2023. On this page: Explainers: Genshin Impact S-tier characters listed The S-tier characters are the best ones in the game due to their efficiency in terms of damage output and utility for the whole party....
