fingers crossed [Update:The Steam database entry forDead Rising 3was removed shortly after this posting.] It’s not uncommon to see a highly touted console exclusive make its way to PC, and it seems thatDead Rising 3is next. Via a posting on Steam’s database, users have found a listing for the game, which, according to the database logs, has a listing history of at least two months. It wasn’t until today, however, that the listing type was changed to “Game,” with the full title to boot....

A fair trade? Vaulting and a heavy focus on seasonal cadence, both in tandem, has probably been the worst decision Bungie has made when it comes toDestiny 2. And I’ve seen some head-scratchers. In the before-times, Bungie could create larger expansions, which had longer lifetimes and less of a sense of a ratrace-esque seasonal grind. Now, we’re getting the worst of all worlds, it seems.Beyond Lightis very small in terms of content, a ton of (good) old content was straight-up erased from the game, and seasonal progression, coupled with vaulting gear (most notably armor for some reason),creates a situation where earning certain items feels pointless: since their efficacy will be nuked mere months later....

With a little over a month until the release ofDragon’s Dogma 2, director Hideaki Itsuno has confirmed that the game will run with an “uncapped” framerate on current-gen consoles. Itsuno revealed this via his X (formerly Twitter) account, writing: “Dragon’s Dogma 2supports variable framerate!Dragon’s Dogma 2will release with an uncapped framerate!” ドラゴンズドグマ 2 は可変フレームレートに対応していますよ！Dragon’s Dogma 2 will release with an uncapped framerate!#DD2、#ドラゴンズドグマ2、#dragonsdogma2pic.twitter.com/NXID8FZWCL It’s unclear if the game will have a locked 30fps quality mode and a 60fps performance mode and then an “uncapped” setting that pushes the framerate beyond that, or if it’s simply going to fluctuate between all of these thresholds throughout....

Space lasers! CCP’s ambitious first-person shooterDust 514isnow in open beta. The free-to-play shooter, as you may already know, is linked toEVE Online, the crazy space game that’s an actual viable export of Iceland. I’m not joking. The game will officially launch later this year, but until then CCP plans on improvingDust 514on a regular basis. The big hook to the game is that players inEVEcan rain down space lasers on targets you designate on the ground while playingDust 514....

The City of Steel Fallout 76Season 10has been revealed, and it’ll debut alongside the massive upcoming update forThe Pitton September 13. As usual, the “seasonal” approach is mostly a high-level aesthetic sheen on the modern season pass, complete with a reward track. Bethesda says this will be the “first time ever” that you can unlock gear crafting recipes, which is sure to ruffle some feathers. For the most part though, Season 10 is business as usual....

To get the Protorelic inFinal Fantasy VII Rebirth’sGongaga region, you’ll have to join the Turks. Sort of. The four Phenomenon Intel required to get the Protorelic has you go through Turk VR training. Apparently, the Protorelic was digitized into this VR, and you need to go to four separate areas to allow Chadley to return it to the real world. It’s pretty contrived, honestly, but it’s not a bad set of intel jaunts....

I kind of love this Amazon México finally opened its doors to selling physical goods this morning. For more than a year prior, it only dealt Kindle e-books. What was the first item ever sold once the servers went live? An amiibo fromFire Emblem, of course. Unrelenting as collectors are to get a good deal on the rare figurines, an Ike amiibo was the first product sold on Amazon México. ACNN Twitter accountthat reports on Mexican economics and finance revealed the news....

The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was Kevin Spacey. In a new behind the scenes look atCall of Duty: Advanced Warfare’sanimation and art styling, new motion capture techniques were showcased that may finally bring true believable faces to gaming. That’s what they said when I playedL.A. Noiretoo, and it just ruinedMad Menfor me. I weep for you, Cole Phelps. Also showcased was the team’s commitment to basing near-future tech on current real-world military hardware as to make the game more believable....

More like LOTY As media, we have no business caring about the marketing of video games. In fact, we actually have a professional obligation to parse through it, finding the good information and discarding the bullshit. That’s, like, half the job, really. Those in PR and marketing try hard to tint our views and we try hard to see a game for what it really is. It’s a tug-of-war that gets easier the longer you do this....

Makeover time One Piece Odyssey‘s cosmetic options aren’t exactly overwhelming. If you buy the base game right now, you’ll be limited to the outfits the Straw Hats wore duringOne Piece‘s Fishman Island arc. If you shell out for the Adventure Expansion Pack, you’ll have the option to outfit Usopp with the Sniper King mask that he wore during the Water 7 and Ennies Lobby arcs. If you preorderedOne PieceOdyssey, though, you also have access to the “Traveling Outfit Set....
