Assassin's Creed Shadows is out, and while Ubisoft keeps bragging about how many millions of people have played it, the truth is sales are down in Japan, and the game got fewer concurrent players than Dragon Age: The Veilguard. We discuss the game's launch along with TheGamer's hilarious article comparing Monster Hunter Wilds' success to Veilguard's failure, the Invincible graphic novel creator's lack of artistic integrity, and more.

Is Sony really going to give us PSVR and Ragnarok on PC? How about the last two Final Fantasy games? Why aren't more games integrating Twitch like Frostpunk 2? What's going on with Star Wars Acolyte. And what does Josh think of his first 20 levels in World of Warcraft? Exciting News for VR Enthusiasts: Sony PSVR2 PC Compatibility on the Horizon Virtual reality (VR) fans have a reason to rejoice! Sony is working towards expanding the reach of its PSVR2 (PlayStation VR2) beyond the confines of the PlayStation 5. Recent reports reveal that Sony is developing an adapter to enable PC compatibility for the PSVR2, slated for release in 2024. This move could significantly enhance the VR gaming landscape, allowing a broader audience to experience the high-quality immersive content PSVR2 promises. Sony's Ambitious Plans for PSVR2 Sony's plans to support PSVR2 on PC were highlighted in an article by Road to VR, which discusses the company's intention to integrate PSVR2 with SteamVR. This integration aims to bring the exceptional capabilities of the PSVR2 to PC gamers, making it compatible with a plethora of VR titles available on SteamVR. This initiative aligns with Sony's broader strategy to embrace cross-platform compatibility and extend the lifecycle and user base of its VR hardware . Technical Steps Towards Integration According to Twisted Voxel, Sony is actively working on an adapter that will facilitate this PC integration. This adapter is expected to bridge the technological gap between the PSVR2 and PCs, ensuring seamless connectivity and performance. The adapter will likely address issues related to tracking, input compatibility, and other technical challenges inherent in adapting console-specific hardware to PC environments . Certification Milestone Achieved Adding to the credibility of these reports, Korea has certified an adapter for PSVR2, marking a significant step towards its global availability. The certification process is a critical hurdle in bringing any new technology to market, ensuring it meets specific regulatory and safety standards. The certification in Korea indicates that Sony is on track with its development timeline and is likely to meet its planned 2024 release . What This Means for VR Gaming The introduction of PSVR2 compatibility on PC is poised to revolutionize the VR gaming experience. PC gamers will gain access to PSVR2's advanced features, such as improved resolution, better tracking, and enhanced haptic feedback, which are currently exclusive to PS5 users. This move could also stimulate the VR content ecosystem, encouraging developers to create more versatile and high-quality VR experiences that cater to both console and PC audiences. Looking Forward As we await more detailed announcements from Sony, the anticipation builds for what 2024 holds for VR enthusiasts. The integration of PSVR2 with PC could democratize access to premium VR experiences, making high-quality virtual reality more accessible than ever before. Stay tuned for further updates as we get closer to the official release. The future of VR looks incredibly promising with these exciting developments from Sony.

Major console exclusives are making their way to the PC platform, broadening their audience and enhancing the gaming experience for many. Among the most anticipated titles are God of War Ragnarok, Final Fantasy 16, and Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth. Here's a closer look at what's happening with these blockbuster games and when PC gamers can expect to get their hands on them. God of War Ragnarok: The Norse Epic Expands Its Realm Fans of the God of War series have been eagerly awaiting the PC port of God of War Ragnarok. According to a recent article from Tech4Gamers, the critically acclaimed game is set to arrive on PC soon. This follows the successful PC port of its predecessor, which opened the franchise to a wider audience and received rave reviews for its enhanced graphics and performance on PC. The upcoming release promises to deliver the same high-quality experience, with potential improvements to leverage the capabilities of high-end gaming rigs . Final Fantasy 16 and Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth: Timed Exclusivity Nears Its End Square Enix's flagship series, Final Fantasy, is also gearing up to grace PC screens with two of its latest entries. Final Fantasy 16 has been a PlayStation 5 exclusive, but as noted by GamesHub, the game's exclusivity period is nearing its end. Naoki Yoshida, the game's producer, hinted at a PC release, though no exact date has been confirmed yet. The anticipation is high as fans expect an official announcement soon . Similarly, Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth is another title that has been locked to the PlayStation 5. TheGamer reported that the exclusivity period for this highly anticipated sequel will conclude, making a PC port likely in the near future. The end date of the exclusivity has been revealed, indicating that PC players won't have to wait too long to dive back into the adventures of Cloud and his companions . Square Enix's Strategy: Accelerating PC Releases Additional evidence suggests that Square Enix is expediting the release of their major titles on PC. Rock Paper Shotgun recently highlighted that the Kingdom Hearts series is making its way to Steam in June. This move indicates a broader strategy by Square Enix to bring their popular franchises to a wider PC audience more swiftly than before . The trend of releasing major titles on PC sooner than in the past could mean that both Final Fantasy 16 and Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth will be available to PC gamers much sooner than initially expected. Conclusion: A New Era for PC Gaming The upcoming PC ports of God of War Ragnarok, Final Fantasy 16, and Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth mark a significant shift in the gaming industry. These releases not only expand the audience for these critically acclaimed titles but also demonstrate a growing recognition of the PC platform's importance. As the lines between console and PC gaming continue to blur, players can look forward to experiencing the best of both worlds. Stay tuned for official release dates and prepare your gaming rigs for these epic adventures!

Frostpunk 2 will incorporate a faction voting mechanic that leverages Twitch integration, creating a dynamic and interactive experience for both players and viewers. The Power of Faction Voting In a recent article by Rock Paper Shotgun, the developers of Frostpunk 2 revealed that the game's success may hinge on its innovative faction voting system. This mechanic will allow players to influence the game world through collective decision-making. As factions within the game vie for power and resources, players can cast their votes to determine the course of action. This feature promises to add a layer of complexity and engagement, as players must navigate the political landscape and the consequences of their choices. Twitch Integration: A New Era of Interaction One of the most exciting aspects of this new mechanic is its integration with Twitch. Viewers on the popular streaming platform will have the ability to participate in faction voting, effectively becoming part of the game's ecosystem. This integration will enable streamers to engage their audiences in real-time decision-making processes, blurring the lines between players and spectators. Andy, Nick, and Josh have praised this move and questioned why more game development studios haven't embraced Twitch integration. They argue that incorporating Twitch into game mechanics not only promotes the game but also fosters emergent gameplay and enhances interaction between streamers and their audiences. By involving viewers directly in the gameplay, developers can create unique and memorable experiences that drive both engagement and publicity. The Impact on Game Development Twitch integration in Frostpunk 2 could set a precedent for future game development. The ability for viewers to influence game outcomes introduces a new form of emergent gameplay, where the unpredictability of player decisions can lead to varied and unexpected storylines. This level of interactivity not only enriches the gaming experience but also provides valuable insights into player preferences and behaviors. Moreover, the promotional benefits of Twitch integration are significant. As streamers showcase the game and involve their audiences, the game's visibility and reach are exponentially increased. This organic form of marketing can attract a wider audience, generating buzz and interest long after the initial release. Looking Ahead Frostpunk 2's faction voting mechanic and Twitch integration represent a bold step forward in interactive game design. As players and viewers collaboratively shape the game's narrative, the potential for rich and diverse storytelling is immense. If successful, this approach could inspire other studios to explore similar integrations, pushing the boundaries of what is possible in gaming. The gaming community eagerly awaits Frostpunk 2's release, not just for its compelling gameplay and narrative depth, but for the innovative ways it plans to engage and connect players worldwide. As Andy, Nick, and Josh highlight, the future of gaming may very well lie in the hands of its audience, and Frostpunk 2 is poised to lead the way. Source: Rock Paper Shotgun - Frostpunk 2 Will Live or Die by Its Faction Voting Mechanic, and the Biggest Faction of All is Twitch The Reluctant Hero: In the world of Azeroth, a land plagued by ceaseless conflicts and ancient evils, a group of legendary adventurers had risen to stand against the darkness. For many years, this band of heroes battled dragons, demons, old gods, a lich king, and the massive armies of The Alliance. Their deeds were sung in taverns and their names revered across the land. Yet, among them was one holdout—a heroic figure named Josh who refused to join the fight. Josh was a renowned Mage of immense power, known for his mastery over the arcane and his profound wisdom. Despite his talents, he chose a life of solitude, shunning the battlefield and the glory that came with it. His reasons were his own, and no one could persuade him to take up arms, not even his closest friend, Andy. Andy was the heart of the group, a tireless and relentless fighter who never backed down from a challenge. Over the years, he watched as comrades fell and retired, but he remained steadfast. While the other heroes hung up their swords and spells, Andy continued to defend Azeroth with unwavering determination. He never stopped believing in Josh, always hoping that one day, his friend would join the cause. Years turned into decades, and the land saw many victories. Yet, the shadow of evil never truly vanished. Despite the triumphs, a new threat always seemed to emerge, testing the resolve of Azeroth's defenders. Andy, now older and battle-worn, still carried the torch for his fellow heroes. But with each passing year, he felt the weight of his solitary struggle grow heavier. Twenty long years had passed since the first great battle, and Andy found himself standing alone against the rising tide of darkness. One evening, as he sharpened his blade by the fire, a familiar figure approached from the shadows. It was Josh, his old friend, and the sight of him filled Andy with both surprise and hope. "I've seen enough, Andy," Josh said, his voice steady but resolute. "The time has come for me to fight." Andy's heart soared. He had waited for this moment for so long, and now, his patience and persistence had paid off. Without hesitation, he clasped Josh's hand, a silent agreement passing between them. Together, they would face whatever evil threatened their world. The news of Josh joining the fight spread like wildfire. The two heroes, one a stalwart veteran and the other a long-awaited ally, became the beacon of hope for all who fought against the darkness. Their combined strength and unbreakable bond inspired others to take up arms, rekindling the spirit of the old days. In the battles that followed, Andy and Josh proved to be an unstoppable force. They faced dragons whose fiery breath scorched the earth, demons from the deepest pits of the nether, and old gods with powers that could warp reality itself. Each time, they emerged victorious, their synergy and trust in one another shining through. The armies of The Alliance, a constant thorn in their side, fell before their combined might. With every victory, the legend of Andy and Josh grew, their names becoming synonymous with heroism and perseverance. They conquered every foe, their unity unbreakable even in the face of the unknown future. Though the road ahead was uncertain, Andy and Josh were ready to face it together. They knew that as long as they stood side by side, no darkness could overshadow the light they brought to Azeroth. The world had found its champions once more, and the legacy of their friendship would endure through the ages, a testament to the power of hope and the unwavering spirit of true heroes. Josh has joined World of Warcraft.
Check out our review roundtable of Hellblade 2, as we're joined by Tamoor Hussain from GameSpot, Jon Clarke from XboxEra and Stacey Henley from TheGamer.Hellblade 2 is a dull, dated game that is dragged along by its incredible presentational flair. For a game shown alongside the debut of Series X, it's not reflective of the story Xbox is trying to tell with its first party. It's a hugely dissapointing sequel.

IGN busca redactores, pero también busca ahorrar dinero y digamos que... Paga poco para trabajo profesional al mismo tiempo que paga mucho para lo que actualmente publica. El príncipe Mohammad bin Salmán bin Abdulaziz Al Saud compra SNK, por lo que Arabia Saudita adquiere el control de los King of Fighter, Samurai Shodows, Metal Slugs y demás series que seguirán sin estrenos futuros. Froskurinn, la feminista queer que tanto juzgó el sexismo en la industria de los juegos de video, olvidó su lucha y hace públicos sus deseos hacia Megan Fox de la manera más vulgar que pudo...Elden Ring causa que el editor en jefe de TheGamer.com le dedique 11 artículos desacreditando al juego en sólo 3 meses, eso no es todo. Elden Ring también provoca una riña entre youtubers que de seguir, podría terminar con un muerto.Y finalizamos con las extrañas estrategias financieras que Square-ENIX está llevando a cabo. Desde la anulación de las actividades de Yuji Naka en Balan Wonderworld hasta la venta de tres estudios y 50 propiedades intelectuales.

Los juegos de guerra siguen haciendo batallar a los periodistas de juegos de video. Por un lado, un chaparro verde hace que se derrame la bilis periodística porque, según ellos, es el recuerdo de una masacre, mientras que por el otro, los mismo periodistas chillan por una páginas del Coran en el suelo.Mientras tanto, Take 2 y Rockstar olvidan de dónde salió su reputación y éxito ofreciendo la peor adaptación de los Grand Theft Autos de la sexta generación de consolas. Al mismo tiempo, Halo Infinite hace grande la letra chiquita detrás de su modo de juego gratuito y, para la sorpresa de nadie, esas letras escribieron la palabra "MICROTRANSACCIONES".Pero no todo lo que hace Microsoft es malvado, hay cosas buenas, como Forza 5 que sólo se percibe "malvado" frente a la gente estúpida.

This week on Episode 507 of Priority One: "Q" is getting quite an adventure in Picard, Raspberry Pi can make an excellent tricorder, Star Trek Online surprises players with a starship promo in the Lobi store, and Minecraft gets Trekkie! This week's Community Question is: CQ: Would live events excite you in Star Trek Online, and how would you like them to be implemented? Let us know on social media like Facebook, Twitter, or by visiting our website! TREK IT OUT Edited by Thomas Reynolds Q-ing Up Picard Seasons 2 And 3 By Elio Lleo We said it. We said it last week. We're now in an era where the headlines come from Cameo videos that actors record for fans willing to pony up some dough for personalized messages! Back at it again: John de Lancie admitting to one fan for Mother's Day, that he'll be on for at least 6 episodes, and that they're filming seasons 2 and 3 back to back -- with rigorous COVID testing during filming. If you're not already, go ahead and start following some of your favorites on Cameo. Apparently some of them share the videos they record for everyone to see…so it might just be you who gets the scoop on the latest Star Trek news! Does this entity look like he fears your mortal NDAs? Image: ViacomCBS. Chris Kula's Committed By Cat Hough Since Mike McMahon let us know on First Contact Day that Star Trek: Lower Decks was renewed for a third season, it seems CBS has really taken notice of what a stellar production crew they have over there. Deadline has announced that writer-producer Chris Kula, a co-executive producer on Lower Decks, signed an overall deal with CBS Studios. We don't have any specific details about his deal, but it appears that CBS is doing its best to lock down talented people. Kula's credits are nothing to sneeze at. He's an alum of the Upright Citizens Brigade Theater, and he has written for NBC's Community, Fox's MADtv, Comedy Central's @midnight and was a supervising producer on Wrecked for TBS. The face of someone not going to Starbase 80. Image: Diane Arbus via Deadline. A Second Picorder of Magnitude By Tony Hunter Everyone wants to try to make Trek tech. The flip phone by Motorola, the universal translator from Google, the Air Force even built a PHASER (in all caps) designed to shoot down drones with microwaves. But all these pretenders are able to do is capture a piece of the magic. Either the form isn't quite right like the flip phone, or the function isn't there like Google Translate. Well, not so with the Picorder 2. A maker who goes by the YouTube handle directive0 has built a prototype of a working tricorder using a typical TNG case as a model. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Y9hRy4ev4Q At the bottom, where the case folds down, is space for a battery and loudspeaker. In the middle is a Raspberry Pi and capacitive touch screen for control and processing. And at the top is a printed circuit board, ready to mount pretty much any commercially available sensor that will fit. At the moment, he has temperature, pressure and humidity sensors functional and displaying on-screen. He also has connections ready for a simple thermal imager. The whole thing is designed to be modular, so instruments and the internal computer and screens can be updated over time. Giant Freakin' Grain Of Salt By Elio Lleo It's a slow news week. When that happens, we get a little dirty and rummage around the rumor mills. The latest comes from the ol' faithful GiantFreakinRobot.com. One of their “trusted and proven sources” tells them there's a plan to bring back Scott Bakula as Captain Jonathan Archer along with the likes of T'Pol and Dr. Phlox. Well...like Nostradamus, with enough theories and rumors published, you might get one or two right. This one, though -- keep it in the back of your mind as just a rumor. Doesn't mean it isn't fun to speculate what that story would look like! STAR TREK GAMING NEWS Edited by Thomas Reynolds The Trouble with Tholians By Cat Hough Starting today on PC and running for the next three weeks, Star Trek Online launched the second Featured Event of the current Event Campaign, called Tholian Trouble. This Event allows players the choice of running either the Azure Nebula Rescue or Vault: Ensnared TFOs, while also earning Daily Progress toward the grand prize reward. These two particular TFOs had some recent updates which have dramatically improved the gameplay during the missions. Completing this Event rewards the Universal Console – Tholian Web Array as an account unlock, and a character only (or one time only) reward of 25,000 Dilithium Ore and 3 Featured TFO Reward Boxes. These boxes give a choice of 1 Specialization Point or an Enhanced Universal Tech Upgrade. The Tholian Web Array Universal Console improves tetryon damage, physical damage, control expertise, and dramatically improves critical hit chance against held enemies. It also has a deadly active ability: hold the target ship in a web and deal physical damage over time, chain to up to 4 additional foes and apply a hold to them, and deal sharply increasing physical damage over time to each new target. No one thought the future would be so...pointy. Image: Cryptic Studios. As we have gone over on previous shows, the Grand Prize for the 2021 Event Campaign offers players a choice between the three following options: Any Infinity Promo or Infinity Lock Box T6 Ship This ship will be a once per account unlock, for a single ship only. Note: Contents only include premium starships that were released before 12/31/20. Starships released after this date will not be included as options. 1,500 Lobi Crystals Two 100% off Coupons for Tier 6 Ships in the Zen Store This choice is only made once per account, upon claiming the prize. Test Server Tribble-ations By Elio Lleo On Monday, May 3rd, you might have seen an out-of-the-blue announcement of a special event happening on Star Trek Online's test server called “Tribble.” For those of you who may not be aware, when you start up Star Trek Online, you have an option to install the game's test server to help the developers quality assure some of the new features that are being worked on. https://twitter.com/trekonlinegame/status/1389293607165726721?s=20 Anywho, in a cryptic tweet, players were invited to defend Earth Spacedock from an assault led by J'mpok. Unfortunately, not all went according to plan. There was lots of confusion about where exactly the event was taking place (space or ground). Then, due to the massive influx of players (probably because many of us are still working from home), no one could get into the game. So what was it all about? Not much really. A few NPCs spawned inside Earth Spacedock and players fought them off. What this was testing is unknown. Here's our community question for this week: CQ: Would live events excite you in Star Trek Online, and how would you like them to be implemented? A Disturbance In The Fourth By Cat Hough Friend of the podcast (and our very favorite Klingon Chancellor L'Rell) Mary Chieffo tweeted earlier today, saying “Nothing says “May the 4th Be With You” like shouting Klingon in a sound booth! So much fun getting back to voicing Chancellor L'Rell for even more epic & honorable adventures in @trekonlinegame today. Qapla'!!” https://twitter.com/marythechief/status/1389679459310075907 Chieffo reprised her role as L'Rell in the continuing Klingon Civil War story arc for Star Trek Online. No updates as of yet regarding when the new episodes will be available to play in-game. The Mine-al Frontier By Elio Lleo Well, this isn't specifically another Star Trek game, but it's a game you and/or your kids might be really into: Minecraft! Josh Davison of TheGamer.com put together a top-ten list of the best Star Trek-themed mods for Minecraft. Now don't get too excited: some of the mods are more “sci-fi inspired” than they are Star Trek themed. But, there are seven solid options. One mod called “A Touch of Trek” includes textures and art assets that really let you build a visually stunning starship environment. Of course, there's "MineTrek" that utilizes a bunch of mods to let you create super structures and environments: we're talking multi-level starships! But where's Cetacean Ops?

For a fortnightly PlayStation podcast we do have the odd episode where news is hard to come by, but that is certainly not the case this time: -An article from "TheGamer" has leaked an announcement that the PS3, PSP & PSVita stores are not long for this world, this spells grave concerns for the future of digital content, but just how worried are Davey, Phil & Spencer? -Sony buys EVO! Was Davey right!? Is the FGC really that important to Sony's strategy and what does this mean for Nintendo and Microsoft!? -We recently had the first news of the PSVR2 but already we've been treated to a look at the new handset. What are our thoughts? How can Sony innovate this generation and what price could we be looking at for this new system? These are just the 3 main topics but we cover loads this episode, so grab a beer and relax to the soothing voices of Davey and Spence... Phil's there too. If you enjoyed the podcast we'd really appreciate a review on iTunes or Podchaser it helps to get us out to a new audience.
