SpellForce: Conquest of Eo Gameplay - w/ Developer Commentary

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt: FSR 2.1 vs. DLSS 2 vs. DLSS 3 Comparison Review

Speaking of performance, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is a very CPU intensive game in DirectX 12, as the CPU usage is mostly single-threaded on PC due to very poor DirectX 12 implementation, and high-powered GPUs such as the GeForce RTX 4080 can end up CPU bottlenecked in some sequences of the game, even at 4K. In a such CPU limited scenario, comes a very welcome help from the DLSS Frame Generation technology, which has the ability to bypass CPU limitations and provide additional frames. With DLSS Super Resolution in Quality mode and DLSS Frame Generation enabled, you can expect more than doubled performance at 4K and 1440p, and during our testing, overall gameplay felt very smooth and responsive, we haven't spotted any issues with the input latency.

The state of Path of Exile - PCGamer

Are the players happy? Mostly. There have been posts and tweets about balance issues for the Sanctum, but the clarion calls of complaints from keyboard warriors on Reddit have been conspicuously less present this time round. Everyone seems to be broadly satisfied and having a good time, and the league hit a concurrent user spike of 213,480 players.

The jury's still out on a number of things. Will the changes to eldritch altars make it so I don't have to run to the boss, kill it, then go back and clear the map? Will the jewel changes make ailment immunity easier to obtain? Will the Elder actually drop Watcher's Eyes for me now that the bonus drop rate is baked-in instead of on the atlas tree? Will Mathil (opens in new tab) ever find a build he likes? We don't know yet, but I'm looking forward to finding out.

Monster Hunter World collaboration for Assassin's Creed Valhalla - RPGSite

Corven Path of Redemption - Development Update

2022 is almost over. Months just fly by.

The initial goal was to be done by the end of the year, but that obviously did not happen. I worked relentless on the game, no vacations, nothing, but still I am far from done. I was too optimistic.

After all the experience I gathered over the last 2 years I reevaluated the time it will take me to be done. It will be by the end of 2024. There is no sugar coating it, this is just how it is. I don't want to string you along month by month, I want to be honest.

There is no problem in development, everything is going as smoothly as is can. Of course there are problems which get me stuck from time to time, I wrote about some of them here, but nothing major. I am not trying to make excuses I am just being realistic. If anyone is really disappointed by that then I am truly sorry! I want to do it right and not rush the second half of development.

GOTY Awards Most Disappointing Games - COGconnected

We had such high hopes for these games. But then, tragedy struck. The magic wasn’t there. That special something simply slipped away. Or, in some cases, the devs aimed for quality and landed squarely on pure evil instead. Let’s count down the whole list, from the ‘could have been great’ to the ‘shouldn’t have been made!’ It’s COGconnected’s Most Disappointing Games of 2022!

How The Elder Scrolls 6 Can Innovate the Combat System - Gamerant

The combat system in the Elder Scrolls can be summarized by the gameplay in Skyrim. Players can find, unlock, and equip different weapons, magic, and abilities using Skyrim's massive skill tree. Players can then level up specific skills depending on the combat styles they focus on. While the game has been renowned for having an incredibly open and dynamic combat system, some invisible rules are still in place. After all, many battles in Skyrim feature the player character hacking and slashing, shooting, or blasting magic repeatedly until the enemy is down. Understandably, there's significantly less nuance there than many players would like.

Marvel's Midnight Suns Review - MMORPG

Marvel’s Midnight Suns is a lot of character and base building built into a unique deck building Strategy RPG. There are some story pieces that just aren’t entirely enthralling, and you may find the exploration to be lacking. What Midnight Suns does happen to do exceptionally well, is provide a purely satisfying strategy game, once you wade through all of the monotonous upgrades to get you to the combat. With plenty of characters to unlock, and multiple difficulty levels to amp up the strategy required, this is one of the best Marvel games to release in years. The best part is, whether you’re a Marvel fan, or you’re just a strategy buff, Midnight Suns delivers. Do not make the mistake of passing on this one.

Tales Of Arise Was Not Originally Going To Be A Tales Game - TheGamer

The ever popular entry in the long running Tales franchise, Arise, was never actually supposed to be a Tales game at all according to a couple of prominent people at developer Bandai Namco. The game was originally going to simply be called Arise.

Kingdom Hearts 4 Has the Same Opportunity to Reach New Fans - Gamerant

However, as fun as the ongoing series can be for longtime fans, the half-dozen games across nearly as many consoles previously made introducing new players to Kingdom Hearts into a hassle. So, what Kingdom Hearts 4's new story direction needs more than any spectacle or mystery to follow is a way to bring new players into the fold. This could easily be accomplished with an optional recap at the start of the next game, or by creating a whole new foundation for this new story in these new worlds.

Here's what Skyrim and Fallout modders want to see in Starfield - PCGamer

While launch day may yet be months away, there's no shame in dreaming about Starfield mods already. I wouldn't be the first to spitball a slew of reskin mods for Bethesda's upcoming space game: everything from Star Wars and Star Trek to Firefly and Battlestar Galactica. Starfield is sure to bring all sorts of wild player-made mods: interface tweaks, balance patches, new companions, combat overhauls, and all the other Herculean feats we've grown accustomed to Skyrim and Fallout modders creating.

But instead of dreaming up a laundry list of requests, I decided we should just ask the creators of major Bethesda RPG mods what they're hoping to create (or play) this time around. They also tipped me off to their most-wanted features for Starfield's version of the Creation Kit software. Although we don't know the feature list yet, Bethesda's work on an updated Creation Engine for developing Starfield likely means some fresh features for modders too.

Here's what they had to say—and don't worry, there are two mentions of Thomas The Tank Engine here. The meme won't be dying this decade.

Sony reportedly blocking non-exclusive titles from coming to the Xbox

In its latest response to the UK Competition and Markets Authority, Microsoft is arguing that Sony has effectively blocked a handful of games from ever coming to Xbox platforms.

10 Best Role Playing Games of 2022

If there's one genre that never seems to run out of steam regardless of what situation the industry at large might be in, it's RPGs. Though they've been a pillar of the medium for nearly as long as the medium has been around, the last decade or so has seen role playing games rise to a level of unprecedented prominence, to the extent that mechanics and ideas associated with the genre frequently find their way into other unrelated categories of games.

Sony deal bans FFXVI and VII Remake from Xbox - RPGSite

Sony hasn't responded to this specific claim - but the legal battle rages on. We don't know what Square Enix's plans are for Final Fantasy XVI yet - but we know its initial release, on June 22nd, will be PS5-only. The game's first trailer noted that it was captured on PC specced to match a PS5, so a PC version seems inevitable. Beyond that? Microsoft seem to think FF16 won't be coming to Xbox - but time will tell. We also already know that Final Fantasy VII Rebirth also as a PlayStation exclusivity deal - but again, don't yet have full details.

Zoria: Age of Shattering Preview - Christ Centered Gamer

In conclusion, Zoria was an enjoyable experience that provided me with nearly ten hours of content. A good portion of that time was spent losing battles and learning from them, which slowly made me adept at breaking the mechanics. At the start I was overwhelmed, but by the end I was engrossed in the world and the gameplay. There’s a solid base at the heart of Zoria that needs a bit more content and some polish, but I have high hopes for the final product. I’d recommend giving the demo a try—it’s free!—and I look forward to the full release of the game.

The immersive sim is finally breaking free from its roots - PCGamer

For a genre that once risked slipping into obscurity, the immersive sim hasn't had a bad run. It's been kept afloat for the last decade by developers mining its roots, producing plenty of PC gaming favourites. Arkane's Dishonored took the eerie stealth of Thief and added a dose of industrialisation, Prey mixed System Shock 2's sci-fi horror with a gallon of GLOO, and Eidos Montreal's Deus Ex reboots revived the genre's superhuman poster child.

There have been innovations, but most of the immersive sims that have appeared over the last 10 years have stuck to the model of the genre's architects. That's changing. Now they're going boldly where no cybernetically enhanced human has gone before. Take a look at the last year and what's coming down the line, and it's clear we're at a fork in the road. The genre has never looked so varied, or so open to experimentation.

According to ResetEra, Elden Ring has won 145 Game of the Year awards from different publications. It’s also notable that it’s still December and a number of prizes are yet to be awarded but this number indicates clearly that Elden Ring deserves to be called the sole winner.
