If poor developer decisions and a lack of engaging content weren’t enough for players to quit Pokémon GO, recent changes to playable avatars might be the straw that breaks the Camerupt’s back.The “Rediscover Pokémon GO” campaign aims to freshen up the 7-year-old game with fancy location-based graphics, new AR features, and a long-awaited update to player customization. The campaign’s first phase recently introduced brand-new models for player characters, which, unfortunately, look like they’ve crawled out of the depths of our nightmares.While these new customization options offer long-requested features like hairstyles and body types, they come at the cost of every player looking like they’ve crawled straight out of Bloodborne. Whether it’s the unsettling faces, disproportionately long bodies, or clipping issues with clothing, Niantic has somehow managed to downgrade avatars already below the industry standard.I have no words… byu/Longjumping-Ad8263...View the full article
Where once a passive SSD heatsink would keep your PCIe solid-state drive sufficiently cool, PCIe 5.0 speeds have forced manufacturers to rethink their cooling strategies. While most SSD makers have opted to include obscenely large coolers with their drives to combat this issue, Jonsbo is turning to a smaller, speedier, but potentially strident cooling system.

Enlarge / For just $199, you could be having as much fun as this paid model. [/url] Meta has announced it's permanently lowering the price of its aging Quest 2 headset to $199 for a 128GB base model, representing the company's lowest price yet for a full-featured untethered VR headset. The Quest 2, which launched in 2020 at $299, famously defied tech product convention by increasing its MSRP to $399 amid inflation and supply chain issues in mid-2022. Actual prices for the headset at retail have fallen since then, though; Best Buy offered new units for $299 as of last October and for $250 by the 2023 post-Thanksgiving shopping season, for instance. And the Quest 2 is far from the company's state-of-the-art headset at this point. Meta launched the surprisingly expensive Quest Pro in late 2022 before dropping that headset's price from $1,499 to $999 less than five months later. And last year's launch of the Quest 3 at a $499 starting price brought some significant improvements in resolution, processing power, thickness, and full-****** passthrough images over the Quest 2.

Never underestimate the power of a tie-in. Since the release of Amazon’s surprisingly good Fallout show, sales across the entire series have skyrocketed, putting Fallout games back in the top 10 list for the first time in years. On the surface, it’s not hard at all to see how this happened. Video game adaptations seem to be in a bit of a renaissance lately, with every property from Mario to The Last of Us managing to make the leap from the console to the silver screen without stumbling too hard. Given Amazon’s Fallout is not only the first Fallout content that actually pushes the timeline forward since 2015, but also takes place in the same continuity as the games, it’s no surprise it’s pushed players to ***** back in and carve their own journey through the Wasteland.

As Manor Lords prepares to finally make its way to the public, developer Slavic Magic has stepped in to make sure fans’ expectations are in check. The one-person studio has been painstakingly crafting the medieval city builder for the last few years, and the PC community has taken notice. The promise of city-building features, realistic gameplay mechanics, and more have continuously positioned Manor Lords at the top of Steam’s most Wishlisted titles. Now, with its Early Access release just more than a week away, Slavic Magic has published a post to clarify a few things. Most notably, they want soon-to-be leaders to remember that Manor Lords isn’t an RPG or a game that’s meant to go toe-to-toe with *****’s Total War franchise. “Manor Lords is not a Total War competitor." “Manor Lords is not a Total War competitor,” Slavic Magic cautions. “It's a citybuilder with battles. Yes, battles are there, but not as huge or as frequent as some of you might expect. The majority of gameplay is focused on citybuilding and management.” Manor Lords isn’t competitive like Starcraft, and it doesn’t let players explore in first-person like Kingdom Come: Deliverance. Yes, you’ll be able to wander around town thanks to a third-person bonus mode, but Slavic Magic calls this feature “experimental.” The core Manor Lords experience is more about letting players know what its like to build and maintain their very own medieval city on a smaller scale than other empire management sim and grand strategy games. Slavic Magic also reiterates that Manor Lords is launching in Early Access. There will inevitably be some kinks to work out, but they are excited to work through to rough edges with community feedback in mind. “Yes, [Early Access] must be disappointing, but I think it's the right choice,” Slavic Magic adds. “It's my first serious game and not only some stuff is still unfinished, but I bet you guys will ask me to change some things you don't necessarily like. But I want to pursue an open development strategy of a back and forth between me and you, I think it worked great for the game so far (I'm comparing to times where there wasn't even a testing group and I was developing in a bubble).” Lastly, as development on Manor Lords progresses, fans should know that Slavic Magic has no plans to release any sort of content roadmap. The developer is unsure if the testing phase for future patches will remain closed or open to the public, though they are considering hosting a pre-release beta branch for owners. “I've made a mistake once or twice before, of promising and working on a feature only to find out that the testers didn't care as much as I did and that they actually wanted something else,” they explain. “So even if I have a plan, I want to adopt the philosophy of ‘listen, verify, implement.’” Manor Lords launches in Early Access for PC via the Epic Games Store, Steam, and GOG, as well as PC Game Pass on April 26. A release on consoles and Xbox Game Pass is set to arrive at a later date. While we count down those last remaining days, hours, and minutes, be sure to check out more upcoming Game Pass titles. After that, don’t forget to look into more of April’s biggest releases. Michael Cripe is a freelance contributor with IGN.
