When professional esports players talk, people listen. And when it’s former ***** like TenZ who stream to huge audiences, there’s even more reason to take heed, especially when it comes to FPS games. In a Sept. 30 clip from his stream, the former VALORANT and Counter-Strike: Global Offensive pro-turned-full time content creator had a lot to say when a donator asked him about Valve’s plans for CS2 moving forward now that the company’s newest game, Deadlock, is out in the wild. And he did not ****** words. View the full article
Five Nights at Freddy's fans are certainly not wanting for more games but those looking for something different but familiar need to check out a new title called Zoochosis. The concept of surviving a night in a place overrun by terrifying monstrosities isn't an inherently new field for horror but FNAF popularized the formula. Zoochosis may lack the animatronic villains and the stationary viewpoint, but it makes up for those factors by introducing some fantastically over-the-top creature designs and an omnipresent sense of ***** that can't be escaped.

There's been a great crop of minimalist strategy games recently.

There are also similar approaches to find in everything from Dorfromantik and Bad North to Mini Metro. Now, another game created in this vein has been announced through Monarchy, an approachable side-scrolling strategy game that looks to have taken clear inspiration from the Kingdom series.

I love things that are set in the cosmos, just give me a spaceship and I'm happy.

With new X870 and X870E motherboards launching this week for AMD CPUs, there are plenty of dry specs to get through. Motherboard manufacturer Asus, however, has gone down a different path to show off the potential of its next-gen motherboards by breaking five different overclocking records, pushing an AMD Ryzen 9 9950X CPU to a staggering 7.55GHz clock speed. To put that into perspective, the Ryzen 9 9950X has a typical clock speed of 4.3GHz and a boost clock speed of 5.7GHz. It's already the fastest AMD processor you can buy, and arguably one of the best gaming CPUs out there right now. With a 1.85GHz overclock applied using this brand-new Asus motherboard, this 9950X is stomping well ahead of its stock performance. Read the rest of the story...

Spore was a pretty big deal back in the day, a life-sim RTS from famed Sims studio Maxis that gave players the opportunity to guide the evolution of a species from primordial soup to interstellar exploration. It was huge, ambitious, and unique, and alas, it was not great: The ideas behind it were bold, but the actual gameplay was pretty flat. We said in a 2018 retrospective that "in many ways, Spore was No Man’s Sky before No Man’s Sky"—****** the redemption arc... Read more.View the full article

Nearly two years ago, EA began teasing Project Rene, a new installment in the Sims series that most players assumed would end up becoming The Sims 5. However, in the wake of EA announcing that it did not have plans for The Sims 5 last month, a new set of screenshots from Project Rene have leaked, and the community is upset over some pretty big presumed changes that have been made since the game's reveal. Over the past week, several apparent images from a recent playtest of Project Rene have leaked online, showing off some of the game's new features for the first time. While Project Rene is still in development, quite a few players have taken to the internet to criticize its altered art style, limited scope, and apparent use of microtransactions. Several fans have shared comparisons between earlier images of Project Rene and these apparent leaks, with many assuming that the studio must have shifted development plans to make the game more mobile-friendly, in turn downscaling its art style. i can’t believe my eyes that Project Rene has switched its course from being a promising successor of the Sims 4 to some ugly **** mobile game that will be another cash grab full of ads [Hidden Content] — tom (@simshive) September 29, 2024 These leaked images also show off its gameplay, which seems to include a to-do list, a chat box, and a small neighborhood to explore. Most notably, the game features the ability to work at a cafe, which has caused players to draw comparisons to The Sims Mobile, EA's 2018 game that also featured a cafe (and stopped receiving new updates earlier this year). New images from "Project Rene" (which is NOT The Sims 5) [Hidden Content] — The Sims Nostalgia (@Sims_Nostalgia) September 29, 2024 Quite a few players have also noticed that the apparently leaked images feature a mobile-style coin tab. These coins are apparently rewards from completing quests and can be used to purchase new outfits. However, because of the game's mobile format, quite a few players have assumed that the game will feature microtransactions. LEAKS The new screenshots for The Sims: Project Rene have been published, which is not '5', this time it is The Sims: Project Rene for Mobile. @darrel840901#TheSims#TheSimsProjectRene [Hidden Content] — Like Life Sim (@LikeLifeSim) September 29, 2024 Y’all have to understand. The Sims team said that project Renee will be free to play. There is going to be a multiple micro transactions and this little icon specifically right here tells us everything we need to know about what their plans are for this game. [Hidden Content] — TheSimYin (@TheSimYin) September 30, 2024 Because of comparisons to the initial Project Rene reveal, which showed off a detailed furniture customization system that led players to believe the game would become The Sims 5, quite a few players have suggested that Project Rene could have been internally downscaled or even scrapped entirely and replaced. Teased in 2022, Project Rene is a free-to-play Sims game that features multiplayer inspired by Animal Crossing and Among Us. It hasn't yet been formally revealed or received a release date, but EA has been holding small, invite-only playtests for the game since its announcement, with the game's latest playtest presumably spawning these recent leaks.

Console-playing Baldur's Gate 3 fans no longer have to look at PC players in envy — Patch 7 is available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and Mac today. Highlights of the patch include 13 new endings for players doing evil runs, including unique new endings for each Origin character, as well as revamped split-screen. But the real highlight is the new Mod Manager, allowing console players to take advantage of the bevy of mods players have made for the hit RPG. Patch 7 hit PC a little less than a month ago, bringing with it the official mod toolkit. Since then, Larian says on its Steam page, players have uploaded 1,000 mods and racked up more than 15 million downloads. Patch 7 is starting to roll out to Mac & console players! Get ready to begin a modded run with Community Update #29, which covers: Mod troubleshooting How to synchronise mods for Multiplayer Mod recommendations to get you started! Read now: [Hidden Content] [Hidden Content] — Baldur's Gate 3 (@baldursgate3) October 1, 2024 While console players can't use the official toolkit to create mods, they can now use those that have been made with the toolkit, and that have passed internal testing. There are currently 69 mods that have passed internal testing, and Larian says more will become available on console and Mac as they continue to test them. Larian also released a couple of videos to celebrate the news: a fresh animated short in collaboration with Mashed and Spud **** Studios (nice bowl cut, Astarion) and one highlighting five mods that console and Mac users can now get their hands on. The absolutely massive Patch 7 includes even more than mods and new evil endings, also adding Honour Mode improvements, new Legendary Actions, and various gameplay improvements and bug fixes. Larian also notes that Hotfixes #26 and #27 are available on all platforms today as well. Patch 7 was long rumored to be Larian's last update to Baldur's Gate 3, although the studio clarified last month that it's not the final patch after all — but declined to offer specifics on what's to come.

The Axis Unseen is by far one of my most anticipated games right now. Blending an open-world hunting sim with cryptids from across cultures, it's a "heavy metal horror game" from solo developer Nate Purkeypile.

Using that knowledge of open worlds, Purkeypile is taking his expertise to a much more subdued experience, and you can try it on Steam right now. Read the rest of the story...
