Diablo Immortal celebrates 20 million players with one legendary crest Posted: 23 Jul 2022 11:06 AM PDT Diablo Immortal has reached another player count milestone, with Blizzard announcing that the RPG game has passed 20 million installs. In celebration, players can log in to the game to collect a special bundle of goodies sent out as thanks - although the meagre contents of it have left some fans chuckling. The Diablo Immortal Twitter account posted a status announcing, "20 million demon slayers and counting." They also say to players that in-game rewards would be provided to commemorate the milestone, including "a legendary crest, gold, and more." This has prompted some jokey responses from the community, who made light of the package. "Whoa! One legendary crest! Thanks Blizzard," reads one response. There has been much discussion among some members of the Diablo Immortal community recently about Blizzard's seeming reluctance to give out legendary crests, the item used when tackling elder rifts that allows players to get their hands on legendary gems.

First-person Stray mod is an adorable Cyberpunk 2077 Posted: 23 Jul 2022 10:02 AM PDT Cat game Stray is a hit, and not just with real-life cats either. However, while the third-person viewpoint is good to see your kitty at all times, why isn't there an optional Stray first-person mode? Well, there's a new Stray mod that adds just that - and it turns the experience into an adorable Cyberpunk 2077 meets Mirror's Edge. The Stray first-person mod doesn't have the most imaginative name but it does exactly what it suggests - adds a cats-eye perspective camera mode to the game. Made by modder Jessica Natalia, you can pick it up at NexusMods. All you have to do is empty the mod files into the main Stray directory and you'll have a first-person camera available when you next start the game. There are even optional separate folders in case you only want first-person at certain points, like running around the city or platforming. At a grand size of 40KB, it won't throttle your download to try it out. View the full site RELATED LINKS: Stray beginners guide, Stray review, Stray system requirements

Apex Legends season 14 legend candidate accidentally appears in client Posted: 23 Jul 2022 09:50 AM PDT Some Apex Legends fans booting up the game's client might have had a glimpse of the season 14 legend. In what appears to have been an accident, a preview for a Stories from the Outland episode called Survive was surfaced to players in the client for the battle royale game, with a preview showing a character wearing a white headset with dark camo paint lines under their eyes. As reported by Dot Esports, the person in question closely resembles a character called Vantage who appeared in a large Apex Legends leak in March alongside Newcastle, the game's season 13 legend. With speculation already rife among the community that Vantage could be the next playable character to join the FPS game's roster, this latest appearance will only further those rumours. According to the leaks, which included news on multiple characters in various stages of development along with several weapons, Vantage is supposedly a recon-focused character who can gather information on enemies by targeting them from range. They are also expected to have a winged companion that they can teleport to. View the full site RELATED LINKS: Apex Legends characters guide, Apex Legends skins, Apex Legends map guide

Star Wars Jedi Survivor Cal Kestis gets gun and Kyle Katarn beard Posted: 23 Jul 2022 09:08 AM PDT At SDCC 2022, Hasbro has revealed our first really good look at the new Star Wars Jedi: Survivor Cal Kestis design. Whereas Cal in Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order fought only with a lightsaber, Survivor looks like it's heading in a more Jedi Knight/Dark Forces direction - with Cal sporting a blaster and even a stylish Kyle Katarn beard. When Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order was first announced, Respawn and EA made sure to distance it from another one of the best Star Wars games on PC - the beloved Jedi Knight series. Now, going by the action figure design of Cal Kestis - spotted by DiscussingFilm - it looks like Survivor will take more of an influence from Jedi Knight. Whereas in Fallen Order the player could only fight with lightsaber and Force powers, in Survivor Cal appears to be carrying a blaster - so, like in Jedi Knight, we may get shooting alongside the Jedi stuff. Cal even seems to be sporting a chin strap beard similar to Jedi Knight protagonist Kyle Katarn (although slightly less bushy, maybe in the next game).

Genshin Impact Sumeru trailer explores floating desert ruins Posted: 23 Jul 2022 08:46 AM PDT A second Genshin Impact Sumeru video preview shows off the region's desert and some of the sacred ruins that can be found there, as well as teasing a group of forest spirits and several mysterious floating ruins that players will encounter while exploring the Genshin Impact 3.0 update's new location. The teaser, titled 'Of Rain and Sand,' features some members of the anime game's art team talking about the diverse environment across Sumeru, which ranges from dense jungle to vast, rocky deserts. "Sumeru is rather different from the major areas we've seen in the past," says environment artist Jax Huang. "The landscape of the rainforest gives the impression of endless mountains," Huang continues, while "The desert has desert storms, oases, and vegetation that needs water... Rocks eroded by the wind and sand, and sacred ruins with historical elements." We get to see some lovely wide shots of these incredible structures towering up between the arid rocks, before getting a glimpse of some stone architecture and statues built into a cave network.

This Doom mod is Pac-Man – meets Portal and Resident Evil? Posted: 23 Jul 2022 07:37 AM PDT There's a new Doom mod out that basically turns the iconic FPS game into the even-more iconic Pac-Man arcade game, complete with familiar trappings like pellets and mazes - but also Portal test chambers and a Resident Evil-like mansion, too? We love the Doom modding community. One of the greatest things about the Doom community is when modders attempt to replicate other classic games within the archetypal FPS. In the past we've seen recreations of Wario Land, Golden Axe, and even Mortal Kombat. Now it's the turn of Pac-Man. The latest update for the cunningly titled Pac-Man Doom mod is available now with a "myriad" of fixes, and it should be "the last version before the final update, which is projected for the end of August" according to modder Peccatum Mihzamiz. The update temporarily pushed Pac-Man Doom to the 50th most popular mod on ModDB this week, which is a huge achievement - it's out of around 50,000.

Elden Ring players are in search of a new home for PvP Posted: 23 Jul 2022 06:53 AM PDT Elden Ring PvP players are seeking out a possible new location for their duels after growing tired of the RPG game's most popular hotspot. Player vs player battles have long been a cornerstone of FromSoftware games, and Elden Ring is no exception. With an almost endless array of possible Elden Ring builds to experiment with, there's no shortage of variety to be found. While players can engage in PvP just about anywhere across the Lands Between, the community has settled on one particular location as its central hub for their competitions. The main Academy gate at Raya Lucaria is where you will see most player vs player showdowns taking place, and it's by far the easiest spot to find some action quickly without having to organise a meetup with your potential opponents. The Raya Lucaria gate is popular for several reasons: it's relatively easy to reach even on a new character, it has a nice open space that's mostly flat, and there aren't any enemies nearby who might be accidentally pulled into the fight and disrupt the fairness of your competition.

Gotham Knights devs tease son of Batman Damian Wayne Posted: 23 Jul 2022 06:47 AM PDT New Gotham Knights interviews at SDCC 2022 with developers on the superhero game reveal possible major new characters from the Batman universe - and while fans shouldn't expect Batman himself, there could be a Gotham Knights Damian Wayne appearance for the temperamental son of Batman. SDCC 2022 brings with it a new Gotham Knights Batgirl trailer and a number of interviews shedding light on different areas of the game, including characters that may or may not appear. A fan Q&A with creative director Patrick Redding confirms that The Joker won't be in Gotham Knights and probably not Riddler either, but he could "not confirm or deny" Harley Quinn. In another interview with ComicBook, Redding again confirms that Batman is indeed dead in Gotham Knights - but seems to suggest that his son Damian Wayne might not be. Damian is the fourth Robin, and the former three are all playable in the game, but will Damian himself show up - especially given how his father isn't around anymore?

WoW Dragonflight alpha adds notorious Hearthstone villain Posted: 23 Jul 2022 04:33 AM PDT It seems that one of the most notorious Hearthstone villains is making their way into World of Warcraft, courtesy of an appearance in the WoW Dragonflight alpha. While Hearthstone is based on the MMORPG's world, characters, and lore, it has introduced its own original heroes and villains over the course of its many expansions. Now, one of the card game's most popular antagonists, Rafaam, has seemingly taken it upon himself to leap across to the MMO. Rafaam has reared his shadowy head in WoW Dragonflight alpha build 44649, Wowhead reports. The ethereal archaeologist first appeared in Hearthstone's 2015 League of Explorers adventure, where he is revealed to be the force behind the Staff of Origination artifact that the titular explorers are in search of. After the staff is reconstructed over the course of the adventure, a curse placed upon it by Arch-Thief Rafaam allows him to break into the Hall of Explorers and attack the League, utilising the power of the staff to his advantage in the adventure's climactic boss fight.

Here’s how to get Halo Infinite Steam Deck working Posted: 23 Jul 2022 03:54 AM PDT As great as it is, one of the biggest annoyances of Valve's Steam Deck console is how many major games are still unsupported, including the latest Halo game. Now it seems finally possible to get Halo Infinite Steam Deck playable at last, and here's how to do it. At the current count, there are over 4,000 officially Verified or playable Steam Deck games right now, although there are still plenty of games left completely unplayable. While there are a load of Xbox games playable on the console, Halo Infinite isn't one of them. That's set to change at last, thanks to a new Proton Experimental update (as spotted by Gaming on Linux). While still just in testing right now - and you'll need an extra application to install it - anyone with the update should be able to get Halo Infinite working on Steam Deck. Gaming on Linux notes that the multiplayer side is running but they haven't tested the campaign yet, but with any luck that will work too.

No, Stray is not too short Posted: 22 Jul 2022 10:05 AM PDT Cyberpunk cat game Stray is out, and it's delightful. As Nat Smith writes in our Stray review, it's "a highly polished narrative-driven experience, with an emotional and thought-provoking core" whose "choice of protagonist feels earnest rather than gimmicky". Like other titles published by Annapurna Interactive, Stray doesn't stick around for long - it's a game you can finish in around five hours, if you don't spend a lot of time scratching up the carpets. That relatively brief playtime has made Stray the target of the usual complaints whenever short games launch; specifically that the number of hours it takes to finish the game are insufficient to justify its price (currently $29.99 USD / £23.00 GBP on Steam). A game with a short runtime is less valuable than a game that takes many hours to complete, the reasoning goes, and you can figure out a game's rough relative value by dividing the price by the number of hours of playtime you can expect from it.

Epic Games store “definitely won’t” restrict games with NFTs Posted: 22 Jul 2022 09:54 AM PDT Tim Sweeney, founder and CEO of Epic Games, says that the Epic Games store "definitely won't" restrict the sale of games which feature NFTs. Sweeney's comment follows a statement from Minecraft developer Mojang that outlined the company's stance to not permit blockchain technologies or NFTs in Minecraft. Following Mojang's declaration, one fan reached out to Sweeney on Twitter to enquire whether Epic Games would take a similar stance, but Sweeney responded in the negative. "Developers should be free to decide how to build their games, and you are free to decide whether to play them," he says. "I believe stores and operating system makers shouldn't interfere by forcing their views onto others. We definitely won't." Another user responded to Sweeney's comments asking how this differs from the Epic Games policy prohibiting hateful and discriminatory content. Sweeney said that this difference comes down to "editorial and brand judgements," and believes Epic chooses "to draw the line at mainstream acceptable norms."

We even have throwback characters from Warner Bros' back catalogue of shows acquired over the years, including Shaggy and Velma from Scooby Doo.

Multiversus focuses on team-based combat, with each fighter broken down into roles such as Bruiser and Tank. In order to create the definitive Multiversus tier list, we looked at how well each fighter interacts with their partner, in addition to how good they are on their own. View the full site

How to get the Stray worker jacket and break into the factory Posted: 22 Jul 2022 09:24 AM PDT Clueless on where to get the Stray worker jacket? In order to break into the factory and steal the atomic battery for Clementine, you'll have to enlist the help of Blazer. Unfortunately, Blazer's bomber jacket and gold chain are quite distinctive, and he'll need a disguise before he can escort you inside. One part of Blazer's disguise is the Stray worker jacket, which you'll have to both locate and steal – cats don't carry money, after all. This is certainly easier said than done. Midtown is the metropolitan cyberpunk heart of the Walled City, and key items can be missed amongst the hustle and bustle. Thankfully, the Stray worker jacket is hidden in plain sight, displayed in the window of the clothing shop on the corner of the main square just to the left of the police station.

How to make green dye in Minecraft Posted: 22 Jul 2022 09:12 AM PDT Need to know how to make some green dye in Minecraft? If there's one thing Minecraft needs more of, it's the colour green. Oh, wait... We jest, but you can use green or lime green dye to brighten up your underground, Nether, or End Minecraft builds.

Making a Minecraft dye usually works by simply placing an item into a Crafting Table slot… but green and lime green dye play by different rules..
