Nvidia announced its RTX 2080 Ti and RTX 2080 which bring real-time Ray tracing support to video games and in the process make them look even good. Aside from announcing the GPUs, Nvidia has also revealed the list of games supporting Real-Time Ray Tracing which includes Battlefield V, Control, Shadow Of The Tomb Raider and more. In total Nvidia has announced 21 games that will support Real-Time Ray Tracing at launch. Battlefield V and Shadow Of The Tomb Raider supporting Real-Time Ray Tracing doesn’t come as a surprise since their respective studios have partnered up with Nvidia for the PC version. However, the list doesn’t include Anthem or The Division 2 which were rumored to support real-time ray tracing. But we are sure that the list will grow with time and Nvidia will eventually include the ray tracing support for Anthem and The Division 2 as their launch gets closer. Here is the full list of games supporting Real-time Ray Tracing for Nvidia RTX 2080 Ti, RTX 2080 and RTX 2070. Ark: Survival Evolved Assetto Corsa Competizione Atomic Heart Battlefield V Control Dauntless In Death Enlisted Final Fantasy XV The Forge Arena Fractured Lands Hitman 2 Justice JX3 Mechwarrior V: Mercenaries Metro Exodus PlayerUnknown’s BattleGrounds Remnant from the Ashes Serious Sam 4: Planet Badass Shadow of the Tomb Raider We Happy Few Also, don’t expect real-time ray tracing support with GTX 2060 or lower end GPUs in the upcoming GPU lineup as it is reportedly exclusive to high-end GPUs. According to report, the GTX 2060 and lower end GPUs aren’t powerful enough to handle ray-tracing and hence will not be able to play games with Real-Time Ray tracing enabled. Aside from bringing the Ray Tracing support, the GPUs themselves are very powerful compared to GTX 10 series. Nvidia has noted that the RTX 2070 outperforms Titan XP and it only costs $499. This is a huge leap in GPU performance and will result in these GPUs supporting titles for years to come. The RTX 2070 comes with 2304 Cores and is capable of 6 Giga Rays/s. What do you think of the game supporting real-time ray tracing? Let us know your thoughts in the comments.

Take heed that there is a brand new lineup of colorful schemes launching next month for the DualShock 4 controller. Posting on the official website earlier today, Sony announced four “vibrant and stylish colors” to brighten your PlayStation 4 experience. These are being called Berry Blue, Sunset Orange, Blue Camouflage and Copper. While nearly all the previous DualShock 4 designs have been monochromatic, Sony is bringing out two schemes in particular that notably combine bolder colors. These are Berry Blue and Sunset Orange — light blue and maroon for the former, and radiant orange and navy blue for the latter. The rest fall in with a a trendy fatigue pattern with Blue Camouflage and a solid metallic design with Copper. Suffice to say, there is bound to be at least one color scheme in that lineup to capture your undivided attention and match your mood. The new DualShock 4 controllers will retail for $64.99 when they go on sale in September. The Copper version will launch as a GameStop exclusive in the United States before becoming available at other retailers. In addition, the Sunset Orange model will not release in Europe. Sony has warned that the new DualShock 4 controllers will only be available until supplies last. Hence, those interested should take this opportunity to secure their pre-orders through select retailers — local or otherwise. Other recent additions to the DualShock 4 controller lineup include Midnight Blue and Steel Black, both of which debuted in March.

There are some things that only show their true faces when the sun goes down in the post-apocalyptic setting of Metro Exodus. In a new trailer released at Gamescom 2018 earlier today, the lead character Artyom discovers a beautiful valley with his companions that is teeming with life. However, the excitement from coming across such a rare paradise in a decadent world is short-lived because the night reveals what terrors actually hide within. They are soon running for their lives when corpses are found hanging from the walls, creep dolls scattered across, unnerving cult elements, and a deformed bear-like creature that is out for blood. If anything, the footage takes the best pages out of the Resident Evil franchise. 4A Games has until now been busy showcasing the much bigger and more open world. Such a drastic turn helps remind fans that it is not all sunshine and roses in Metro Exodus. There will be beauty to discover in the day but also terrible nightmares to face in the night. It has also been confirmed that Metro Exodus will support the new ray tracing technology from Nvidia RTX. Expect the developer to reveal more details regarding this in the coming weeks. Metro Exodus is scheduled to release worldwide for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC on February 22, 2019. Those interested can start securing their pre-orders. Take note that an early adoption on Xbox One will give buyers a free copy of Metro 2033 Redux, the remastered version of the first installment in the franchise.

A CD Projekt RED mobile studio being acquired by the studio might apparently be opening the door to other mobile Witcher games or other CD Projekt RED games in general, and the acquisition likely also means big things for the studio after years of only being known for one game. Ever since its inception, CD Projekt RED has been either a PC or console studio, mainly developing the Witcher games which were wildly popular. Its upcoming game Cyberpunk 2077 is also being hotly anticipated, especially since there hasn’t been any real news on it in years. The CD Projekt RED mobile studio, known as Spokko, could also help with the company porting their Gwent card game to mobile games, allowing the wildly popular card game to be able to reach out to more people after formerly being limited to consoles and PCs. Since various other card games like Yu Gi Oh, Hearthstone, and Magic the Gathering have also been meeting a lot of success on mobile devices (both games have also been ported to the PC), there’s no reason why Gwent shouldn’t be able to do the same thing. There’s also the possibility that the first Witcher game will also end up being ported to mobile devices, in a similar manner to how BioWare’s first Knights of the Old Republic game was ported over to it. Since both games play roughly the same way (mainly rapid clicking during combat and click and drag ways to equip weapons), it shouldn’t be too hard for the game to be ported. It’s still rather too early to be saying exactly what the CD Projekt RED mobile studio acquisition is going to end up doing, but hopefully CD Projekt RED will be able to use Spokko in a proper way and be able to spread The Witcher, Gwent, and other games in the future out to more fans.

With news now broken of Diablo 3 coming to the Nintendo Switch, Gamescom has shown off a small amount of Diablo 3 Switch gameplay, showing the player character and a companion moving through a Greater Nephalem Rift, one of the various challenge areas that could be found in various areas of Diablo. Diablo 3 has previously been ported to every other possible platform, including Xbox One, Playstation 4, and PC, and now it’s coming to the Nintendo Switch. The game will include the DLC that’s been released for the game, both the Reaper of Souls story expansion and the new Necromancer character, hence why it’s being called the “Eternal Edition.” Along with the DLC, the Diablo 3 Switch game is including a large amount of Zelda content, such as the ability to transmogrify your armor to look like Ganondorf, angel wings inspired by Majora’s Mask, and possibly more, though currently Blizzard isn’t saying anything about it. The Diablo 3 Switch gameplay footage seems like it’s fairly similar to regular Diablo 3 gameplay, where players make their way through sprawling dungeons and make use of powerful abilities to slaughter huge amounts of enemies in order to get powerful weapons and gear that can help you slaughter even huger amounts of enemies. While that means that the game is hardly different from its other versions, the fact that the Diablo 3 Switch gameplay looks just like how the game plays on its other platforms just means that it made the transition to the Nintendo Switch beautifully. And, considering the portability of the Switch, you can play it on the go. You can see the Diablo 3 Switch gameplay by yourself by looking further up the article, and the game will be coming out for the console in the third quarter of this year, likely meaning sometime either in September or later this month.

The first day of Gamescom was full of surprises for Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice. Not only did we get to find out new information about the upcoming From Software title and see what its collector’s edition includes, the Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice release date was also revealed. The game is set to launch March 2019 which is sooner than most of us expected. Earlier today, From Software and Activision announced that the Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice release date is set for March 22nd, 2019 for PS4, Xbox One, and PC. The game was initially revealed back in June, so getting a release date for a game of its caliber this fast is positive, to say the least. Additionally, Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice got new information regarding its gameplay. First of all, fighting in the game won’t be as simple as swinging your sword at enemies. You will be able to take command of special Sword Arts ta enhance your basic attacks and make combat even more enticing. Ressurection is a huge part of Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, affecting both its gameplay and storyline. Activision and From Software pointed that out one more time, in case we thought this would be an easy-going title. As for the prosthetic arm the protagonist bears, it has a use of its own. You can equip and switch between a variety of unique Prosthetic Tools, according to the enemy you are facing or the task you want to perform. As if those weren’t enough, a collector’s edition for the upcoming title was revealed. The Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice Collector’s Edition costs $89.99 and includes the following: Full Game 7” Shinobi Statue SteelBook® Collectible Artbook Map Digital Soundtrack Replica Game Coins Are you excited about the Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice Release Date being set for March?

We’ve been waiting for a Cyberpunk 2077 trailer for five years since the first one released. CD Projekt Red is spoiling us this year with not only one, but two trailers. The first one was during June’s E3 2018 and the second one will be screened tomorrow at Gamescom. Well, we don’t know for sure that it will be a trailer announcement, but we can so much expect. Gamescom has started today, offering a few groundbreaking announcements already, the release date for Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice and the new generation of Nvidia GPU’s for instance. Somewhen during the show, CD Projekt RED took to Twitter, to announce that we should expect a new Cyberpunk 2077 Trailer, or something along those lines, to be revealed tomorrow. Their announcement reads: New system update available: gamescom version 2.18 > System update available > Update: Y/N > Updating, please wait… > System update successful! Welcome to gamescom v. 2.18! Next update scheduled for Tuesday, August 21st. #Cyberpunk2077#Gamescom2018 We all do remember that chilling “glitching” opening at E3 2018 before the revelation of the second Cyberpunk 2077 trailer. We were waiting for that to happen for five years now and we got rewarded not only with the trailer but with additional information about its gameplay, city ecosystem and more. A few selected lucky people got to see a presentation of the game in action as well and since then we are purely jealous. We don’t know the nature of tomorrow’s announcement for Cyberpunk 2077. Everyone expects a new trailer to pop up out of the blue, something that the company teased itself in the tweet’s comment section. What do we expect from a new Cyberpunk 2077 trailer though? Due to the fact that fans were a bit discontent over the fact that Cyberpunk 2077 will be a first-person shooter, we could be expecting a gameplay trailer to “wash away” the doubts of the non-believers. Whichever the case, make sure to tune in to Gamescom live stream tomorrow (if you’re not already there) to find out more about Cyberpunk 2077.

If you’re part of the audience in video gaming that likes to play many of their games on the PC, the GeForce RTX trailer that came out at Gamescom might have just given you the impetus to buy Battlefield 5 on it. Battlefield 5 PC graphics, according to the trailer, will look very good. Battlefield 5 will be the immediate sequel to Battlefield 1 in more ways than one; not only is it the very next Battlefield game, it’s also taking place in the direct sequel to World War 1, World War 2. EA DICe has apparently decided to step things up both graphically and in terms of gameplay for the game, going by what we’ve seen in multiple trailers. The Battlefield 5 PC graphics trailer shows off a lot of good lighting, textures, and water physics in the game as we’re taken through small snippets of a street fight, with explosions, sparks, puddles of water, smoke, and reflections all showing us just how good the game will look when it releases. While it doesn’t have very much actual gameplay, we have gotten that already so now it seems like they’re focusing on graphics. Previously, players have gotten insights into Battlefield 5’s fast-paced gameplay through two trailers: its first one revealed at EA Play 2018 before E3, while we got a trailer of some gameplay in the Dutch city of Rotterdam only a few days ago. With all of the different weapons in World War 2 at our disposal, gameplay might be even more frantic than it was in Battlefield 1. You’ll be able to see the Battlefield 5 PC graphics for yourself by watching the GeForce RTX trailer, or if you have a PC powerful enough to run the game, you can buy it yourself when it comes out and see how good it looks. Battlefield 5 will be releasing on the Xbox One, Playstation 4, and PC on October 11.

The Nvidia GeForce RTX 2070 has just been announced and while we did not get any official numbers Nvidia CEO did say that at just $499, users will get Titan Xp level performance. This is great value for money and if you want something a bit more powerful then you can also check out the RTX 2080. The Nvidia GeForce RTX 2070 reference design has a very clean look and it is unlike the previous reference design cards that we have seen so far. This time you get two fans instead of one and they are proper fans, not blower style fans. The Nvidia GeForce RTX 2070 comes with 2304 Cores and is capable of 6 Giga Rays/s, which is one of the main selling points of the graphics cards. You can check out images of the GPU below: 1 of 2 PreviousNext The highlights of the RTX family of GPUs are as follows: New RT Cores to enable real-time ray tracing of objects and environments with physically accurate shadows, reflections, refractions and global illumination. Turing Tensor Cores to perform lightning-fast deep neural network processing. New NGX neural graphics framework integrates AI into the overall graphics pipeline, enabling AI algorithms to perform amazing image enhancement and generation. New Turing shader architecture with Variable Rate Shading allows shaders to focus processing power on areas of rich detail, boosting overall performance. New memory system featuring ultra-fast GDDR6 with over 600GB/s of memory bandwidth for high-speed, high-resolution gaming. Nvidia NVLink, a high-speed interconnect that provides higher bandwidth (up to 100 GB/s) and improved scalability for multi-GPU configurations (SLI). Hardware support for USB Type-C and virtual links, a new open industry standard being developed to meet the power, display and bandwidth demands of next-generation VR headsets through a single USB-C™ connector. New and enhanced technologies to improve performance of VR applications, including Variable Rate Shading, Multi-View Rendering and VRWorks Audio. If you need even more power then you can check out the top of the line RTX 2080 Ti that has been announced alongside the other graphics cards this time. For more information regarding the new series of graphics cards stay tuned. Let us know what you think about the Nvidia GeForce RTX 2070 and whether or not this is something that you are interested in getting.

Unlike previous Ti models, the Nvidia RTX 2080 Ti has been announced alongside the Nvidia RTX 2080 and the graphics card is crazy fast. It is better in performance as compared to the Titan V, which is a $3000 graphics card. But the Nvidia RTX 2080 Ti only costs $999, that is some impressive value for money. The graphics card features 11 GB of GDDR6 and 4352 CUDA Cores. That is some pretty impressive specs. The Nvidia RTX 2080 Ti is the new top of the line graphics card from Nvidia and the single most powerful graphics card on the market right now. 1 of 4 PreviousNext The Nvidia RTX 2080 Ti has been made with realtime Ray Tracing in mind and you get more details when it comes to reflections. Not only is the Nvidia RTX 2080 Ti faster than the Titan V, it is also faster than a pair of GTX 1080 Tis in SLI, in most cases. That is some impressive amount of power from a single graphics card. Developers all over the world are working on providing the support for the RTX graphics cards. While there were games at the event that will support this feature, there will be more games coming out that will support this feature. Epic Games has already talked about how devs should adopt this technology and the following is what the devs had to say in this regard: The demo we showed in partnership with ILMxLab is the first step in that direction. Part of the scene is rendered and part is ray traced, all the shadows and reflections come from ray tracing, and like movies, game engines are going to adopt this. You’re going to see more and more ray-traced elements in our scenes, and I think ten years from now you might find nothing but ray tracing in our engines. Everybody who’s starting a triple-A project, they all should be thinking about ray tracing. If this is too much for you then you can also check out the RTX 2080 that costs just $699. For more news and information regarding these upcoming graphics cards stay tuned. The Nvidia RTX 2080 Ti is available for pre-order right now and will be on the shelves starting September 20th.

There has been a lot of anticipation around Nvidia GeForce RTX graphics cards and we finally have an official announcement from Nvidia. The main highlights are the increased horsepower that the Nvidia GeForce RTX graphics cards provide as compared to the Pascal series as well as the support for Ray Tracing. Nvidia CEO started off by admitting that there were plenty of leaks but he also claimed that the leaks were wrong and that people would be surprised. He also talked about RTX not being enough and how Deep Learning also needed to be added into the mix. Ray Tracing is an effective technique as it only captures the rays that meet the eyes. Trillions of rays do not meet the eyes and that is where Nvidia RTX shines. Nvidia GeForce RTX Graphics Cards Nvidia has been working with Microsoft and Epic in order to support Nvidia RTX. Epic has been able to provide support for the new technology in Unreal Engine. We also saw the previous Nvidia RTX demo featuring stormtroopers. The Turing chip is the second largest chip that Nvidia has ever made. The chip provides 14 TFLOPs and 14 TIPs of performance. All this has been provided to provide hybrid rendering or RTX. Turing can be looked at a supercomputer with just one GPU instead of 4. The Turing chip was able to render the demo scene 8 times faster than the GTX 1080 Ti, the top of the line Pascal GPU. With the new Tensor core, the chip is able to generate pixels that have not been finished yet, while looking right at the same time. Nvidia Geforce RTX 2080 One of the new Nvidia GeForce RTX graphics cards is the RTX 2080 and it will be available for $699 US. The card is based on the next generation Turing architecture and has better performance than the GTX 1080 Ti. 1 of 3 PreviousNext The RTX 2080 Founder’s Edition will cost $699 but you can expect the custom graphics cards to cost even more. You will need to wait and see what pricing the graphics cards will have but these numbers should give you a good idea of what the custom cards will cost.

Let us know what you think about the new Nvidia GeForce RTX graphics cards and whether or not you are interested in getting one of these new graphics cards.

This Hollywhoot Beginners Guide is regarding the Hollywood parody game from iCandy which has you play as a film director who will need to tackle a lot of tasks including hiring a crew for the film or TV show, handling critical, commercial reception of that production, studio challenges, and more. Hollywhoot Beginners Guide Now we would not call this a Hollywood-director simulator but it comes pretty close to that. That would be your primary goal, to climb the ladder of success to become one of the great directors in the film industry. One of the most important aspects that come into play here is crew hiring. The Academy This is where you hire all your actors and crewmembers. This will directly tie in with how successful you become as a director. Each actor you hire requires the use of cash. Although you are given a head start at the beginning with a mediocre crew of actors, you will need to spend the big bucks for getting some decent actors. Each actor has an attribute associated with him/her. These are divided into three categories: Physical, Acting, and Charm. For each upgrade on one of these attributes, you require a certain amount of gold. Each time you level up a stat, you increase chances of getting a higher income thanks to the actor. You can check out these details on the talents page for that crewmember. At level 10, 100, 300, and 600, evolution will happen for actors which will develop them even further so to increase the income received from films. On this page, you will also be able to view the different perks that you can apply to an actor or perks they already come with. These will help you decided which film genre will work best for that actor. Therefore, in a way, this helps you choose a suitable character for your actor. Once you reach level 30, you will be able to earn even more profits by having up to three actors star in a film. TV series generate income on a season-by-season basis. Check back every now and then and tap to collect the income. Invest in the TV business too for greater profits. The Studio When it actually comes to the filmmaking process, you have a choice when you first start a studio. This will be based around a particular genre of film: action, drama, thriller or comedy. Once you select a movie to be made and a cast for it, you will be able to get an idea of how long the production will take. An actor with higher wages will mean the film will take longer to finish. You can, however, watch video ads to speed up the process. For producing multiple films at a given time, you need more studios to work with. This requires the use of a combination of gems and gold coins (200 Gems and 100 M Gold). For the third studio, you will need to pay in 200 Diamonds. As you level up more, you will grow into other industries within the entertainment industry including television, stores and more. Once you get a film made, the success of it will depend on three factors: it is Potatometer (a parody of the Tomatometer), the Production time for that film and the Talent Income. In order to maximize these factors even further, you can use the Prominence button to earn trophies which consist of awards like 250% bonus to talent income, Hall of Fame award and more. Although the Prominence feature will reset your progress, you will be able to progress much faster now thanks to the new bonuses and rewards. Research Factory Upon progressing into the game further, you will unlock the Research feature. This will help you earn stars which in turn award you with bonuses at the end that is there to stay. These stars or crates are directly related to the income of the produced film. This is all we have in our Hollywhoot Beginners Guide. If there is anything else that you would like to add, let us know in the comments section below!

While CD Projekt Red has confirmed that there will not be any public booth for Cyberpunk 2077 at Gamescom 2018 but, that doesn’t mean the studio won’t be bringing anything at the event. The studio has teased more details for Cyberpunk 2077 that will be revealed tomorrow, however, given that there is no public booth for the game don’t expect these details to be revealed to anyone other than those who are invited to the behind the closed door event. What CD Projekt Red will reveal at Gamescom 2018’s private booth for Cyberpunk 2077 is anyone’s guess. However, given the rate at which leaks and rumor appear online these days, we don’t expect to be left in the dark for long. Also, while the studio is being very secretive about its upcoming title but that doesn’t mean the studio hasn’t revealed anything about it. According to the studio, the game’s world is similar to GTA V and different at the same time. According to quest designer Patrick Mills: This is a world where the worst crimes happen in broad daylight, and everybody knows that they happen, and everybody just kind of goes along with it. Everybody just lives their lives. In GTA V no criminal activity goes without a relentless pursuit by the police and this statement indicates that people are used to the crime in the world of Cyberpunk 2077 and don’t pay much attention to criminal activities. Not only that, the studio has confirmed dynamic weather for the game which isn’t surprising since The Witcher 3 also featured dynamic weather although it only featured rain as a dynamic weather. It will be interesting to see how the studio will be improving the dynamic weather conditions for Cyberpunk 2077. We wanted to make you feel like an integral part of the city right from the first moment, and as in all the cities, day and night, we wanted to show players how we were able to recreate a dark and dystopian future, even in daylight. Of course, there will be variable weather conditions Cyberpunk 2077 is a first-person action-adventure RPG in development at CD Projekt Red for PC, Xbox One and PlayStation 4. No release date has been announced for the game yet.

A couple of screenshots have been found online and according to the Amazon listing, the game will be coming out for the Nintendo Switch on December 31st. This could be a placeholder so take this information with a grain of salt. We will have to wait for the official 1 of 2 PreviousNext It will be interesting to see what kind of results we will get from Ark: Survival Evolved Nintendo Switch. If it is optimized well then it should run fine on the device but there will a trade-off of some kind and that is what I am interested in seeing. You can check out the screenshots of the game below: 1 of 10 PreviousNext Ark: Survival Evolved is a very popular title especially when it comes to survival games.

Balloon Fight Ice Climber Dr. Mario The Legend of Zelda Super Mario Bros. 3 Diablo 3 is also coming to the Nintendo Switch and it has been promised that the game will hit 60 FPS. That should be interesting but then again, it is an older title and this is something that can be achieved if the game is ported right.

Let us know what you think about Ark: Survival Evolved coming to the Nintendo Switch and whether or not you are interested in playing the game on the hand-held.

The upcoming Witcher television series, an ambitious adaptation by Netflix of the popular novels and games, is currently busy in hosting casting calls. While fans were hoping to know about who will be playing the lead characters, they have instead been handed leaked scripts from the aforementioned recent auditions. Before heading any further, understand that scripts written for a casting call are not necessarily going to be part of the actual show. These are called “Sides” in the acting industry and are just penned to judge potential actors in specific roles on a stage. The dialogues, setting, and pretty much everything are unlikely to be featured in the same manner in any released episode down the line. Hence, they are harmless and contain no spoilers. If you want more assurance, showrunner Lauren S. Hissrich pointed out the same thing on Twitter last week. Anyone interested can look them up for a read without any worries. The casting scripts in question were posted on Reddit last month and feature two different scenes. The first focuses on Geralt, the Witcher and main protagonist, and Yennefer, a sorceress and his love interest, getting ready for a ball. The second sees Yennefer again but arguing with an unnamed king. The excerpts for both scenes are reminiscent of the source materials. For example, the ball in the first scene is probably the one that Geralt attended in Novigrad in disguise in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. The only difference is that he attended it with Triss Merigold, another sorceress and love interest, not Yennefer. The casting scripts also mention a few other characters from the main storyline. There is Sabrina Glevissig, a sorceress known to wear proactive outfits and who Yennefer considers to be a rival of sorts, and Vilgefortz, a talented mage that has actually bested Yennefer in sorcery on occasions. Overall, though, the leaked casting scripts do not tell all that much about the Witcher television series. The dialogues do, however, capture the right tone and certainly appear to do justice to the source materials. In all the excitement, fans just want to know just who will be playing Geralt, Yennefer, and Triss as soon as possible. Interestingly, Henry Cavill, Superman himself, said earlier this month that he would love to play the white wolf. Could he be actually trying out for Geralt? There is still plenty of time before the Witcher series airs its first episode, with Netflix setting a tentative 2020 date for the show.

Hitman Season 1 or Hitman 2016 is the return to form for the Hitman franchise. While IO Interactive is working on Hitman 2 but that doesn’t mean they have forgotten about the beautifully crafted locations from Hitman Season 1 because the studio is bringing them back in Hitman 2 as a DLC “Hitman Legacy Pack”. Not only that, all of the location from Hitman Season 1 will be remastered/enhanced for the Hitman 2 and will be available as part of the “Hitman Legacy Pack” DLC. Those who already own the Season 1 will be getting the remaster/enhancement for free when Hitman 2 launches this November. Hitman Season 1 locations will not only get visual enhancements but the developer will also incorporate new gameplay mechnics from Hitman 2 to give players the chance to play those missions again with AI that reacts organically. According to Hakan Abrak, CEO at IO Interactive: This is our way to say a big thank you and give something back. We have finally revealed our long-term vision to deliver the ‘World of Assassination,’ an ever-expanding continuous universe starting from Paris in Season 1, going all the way through to the end of Hitman 2 and beyond with our future endeavors. To create a universe like this is not only an ambitious task creatively, but also technically. I am in awe and admiration with our incredibly talented team and what they have achieved. Furthermore, IO Interactive has also revealed the system requirements for the upcoming title and they are surprisingly reasonable. MINIMUM: OS: OS 64-bit Windows 7 Processor: Intel CPU Core i5-2500K 3.3GHz / AMD CPU Phenom II X4 940 Memory: 8 GB RAM Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660 / Radeon HD 7870 DirectX: Version 11 Storage: 60 GB available space RECOMMENDED: OS: OS 64-bit Windows 7 / 64-bit Windows 8 (8.1) or Windows 10 Processor: Intel CPU Core i7 3770 3,4 GHz / AMD CPU AMD FX-8350 4 GHz Memory: 8 GB RAM Graphics: Nvidia GPU GeForce GTX 770 / AMD GPU Radeon R9 290 Storage: 60 GB available space Hitman 2 is a stealth action game in development at IO Interactive and is scheduled to launch on November 13, 2018, for PC, Xbox One and PlayStation 4.

Almost every developer in the industry is trying its hand of the Battle Royale mode and Techland is about to try its hand on the Battle Royale with Dying Light Battle Royale spin-off “Bad Blood” while the studio is still working on Dying Light 2. Techland has announced that Dying Light Battle Royale spin-off “Bad Blood” will be coming to Steam early access next month. However, the concept of this Dying Light Battle Royale is quite interesting. The Dying Light Battle Royale will be PvEvP and features 12 players in total. Players will spawn with nothing in hand and will have to scavenge in order to create weapons and health items while simultaneously avoiding Zombies. The end goal of the Dying Light Battle Royale is to get to the evac chopper and escape, however, only one player can escape alive. Meaning the game will be intense as players will not only have to survive the players but also the AI controller relentless zombies along with scavenging through the world for the tools of survival. As for the price, well the game is a free-to-play title but players will have to drop $20 for the Founder’s Pack of the Dying Light Battle Royale spin-off “Bad Blood”. The Founder’s Pack will give you access to three legendary skins, which will be available in the next three months following launch, and other in-game content and in-game currency. It is important to note that without buying Founder’s Pack, players will not have access to the Dying Light Battle Royale spin-off in Steam Early Access. Simply put, either wait for the game to come out of Early access or drop $20 to play it. Also, Techland will be hosting Global Tests ahead of the game’s launch on Steam Early Access. To participate in the Global Tests, you will have to register. The first Global Test for Dying Light Battle Royale will start on August 25 and will continue to August 26. The purpose of this test will be to stress test the net code. The second global tests will take place September 1 and will continue to September 2. The goal of this test is to fix bugs and bring gameplay balances. As I mentioned before, Techland is also working on Dying Light 2. However, the sequel will be taking things to a next-level as the game will feature complex AI and a Morality System. What do you think of the Dying Light Battle Royale?

ZOTAC RTX 2080 Ti AMP Edition is one of the custom models that have been leaked ahead of time and it seems that the graphics card will cost $1200. There might be an AMP Extreme edition as well somewhere down the line but this seems to be the top of the line model that Zotac is offering right now. The card required dual 8-pin power connectors and come with three DisplayPorts, HDMI 2.0B and USB Type-C. This is a 2.5 slot GPU. At this point we do not know the frequency of the ZOTAC RTX 2080 Ti AMP Edition, so we have no idea how it compares to the reference design model but if previous numbers are anything to go by, there will be a difference. Then again, the previous reference design cards were blower style, but this time we are getting dual fans. The simple ZOTAC RTX 2080 Ti will cost $1169. If you are not interested in getting the Ti model then you can go for the ZOTAC RTX 2080 which costs $799, but this is the blower-style GPU. If you are interested in getting the custom version with the triple fan cooler then that will cost you $839. These upcoming graphics cards seem to be pretty expensive, but then again, this is something that we expected and I am sure that Nvidia is going to compensate for this high pricing by cutting down the prices of the GTX 10 series graphics cards. If these prices are too high for you then you should keep an eye on the pricing of the GTX 1080 Ti in the upcoming few days. Nvidia CEO has talked about how RTX is going to be a game-changer and the following is what he had to say in this regard: The rest of our product launches and the ramp-up of Turing is going really well. And so, I think the rest of the announcements we haven’t made, but stay tuned. The RTX family is going to be a real game-changer for us. And the reinvention of computer graphics altogether has been embraced by so many developers. Let us know what you think about the ZOTAC RTX 2080 Ti AMP Edition and whether or not you are interested in getting one of these graphics cards when they come out.

No Man’s Sky is back in the spotlight but the beginning was hard. In fact, many things went wrong including the game not being deep enough. Developers showed and promised features that were never going to make it to the game at launch. As a result, the game was empty, Sean Murray said. Speaking with IGN, creator Sean Murray stated that the only thing they got right was the sense of emptiness, a sci-fi emptiness that puts emphasis on the vastness of the universe. However, lack of gameplay mechanics and repetitive quests in No Man’s Sky dented everything Sean Murray and Hello Games wanted to accomplish. When we launched, Hello Games was 15 people. The average team size was six people. It was this huge, broad game. And it delivered on a thing that I always wanted, which was this feeling of loneliness, which sounds strange I know, but a kind of a science fiction loneliness. You, out in the world, amongst the vastness of the universe. And along the development, lots of things changed about the game, but that was one thing that stayed the same – when I first sat down to write the first lines of code, that was the emotion that I was going for. I’m super proud of that, but because it was such a small team, and because it was so weirdly innovative and ambitious, you know, it wasn’t as deep in a whole bunch of areas. No Man’s Sky was a marketing disaster; it was initially accused of false marketing but Sean Murray explained what happened. The development team talked about the game too early, features that are not ready, and the unscripted interviews caused them to lose a lot of followers post-release. However, the community came back after major changes were made to the game. There are so many aspects that still need improvements but overall, it is safe to say No Man’s Sky is on the right path. The future of the game remains uncertain and who’s to say Sean Murray team won’t make the same mistakes again? But some notable additions are planned for No Man’s Sky, hopefully, those will boost the audience even future to save the future of NMS and Hello Games.

In fact, the anticipation is pretty high to such a level that it seems like this PS4 exclusive may just become Sony’s biggest games of all time. Now, why does it seem like it? Well, the reason for it is the fact that the pre-order performances of the game have been really remarkable and based on that Insomniac Games are very optimistic about this game. According to them, they are very happy to see that people are putting so much faith in this game. James Stevenson, Insomniac’s Community Manager in an interview said: It’s very flattering people would put their money and faith in us already. The reason for this high anticipation of Spiderman PS4 is the fact that the devs have been working, very hard in making this game a masterpiece. They have utilized every aspect and possibility for this game, like utilizing Sunset Overdrive game to develop New York City. In fact, their development even had to face a bit of a learning curve. Apart from all that, they have also been marketing this game quite amazingly, utilizing every ounce of detail as something that can be utilized to gain more anticipation from fans. Apart from that rolling out trailers which they had saved up for appropriate release time, is something that has helped them create this anticipation. So for those who have any doubts, then let us add more to the assurance that a little while back, the creative director Bryan Intihar assured fans that for those who have played Batman Arkham Legacy, they can rest assured that this game will meet Arkham Legacy standards. Now from what we have seen so far, it seems like Spiderman PS4 will certainly be something huge, that is for sure. What are your thoughts? Let us know in the comments below.

Nvidia RTX graphics cards are around the corner and it seems that the CEO of the company is as excited about the upcoming graphics cards as we are. He talked about the upcoming graphics cards as well as the ones that have already been released and said that the Nvidia RTX graphics cards will be a real game-changer. The following is what he had to say in this regard: The rest of our product launches and the ramp-up of Turing is going really well. And so, I think the rest of the announcements we haven’t made, but stay tuned. The RTX family is going to be a real game-changer for us. And the reinvention of computer graphics altogether has been embraced by so many developers. Nvidia RTX graphics cards are going to support Ray Tracing and this is something that is going to change how games look. The Pascals series of graphics cards will not support this feature, so if you want to check it out then you will need to update to the upcoming series of graphics cards. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang touched on the matter and the following is what he had to say in this regard: I think the answer to your question is, developers all have access to RTX. It’s in Microsoft’s DirectX; it’s in the most popular game engine in the world; and you’re going to start to see developers use it. We’re going to see some really exciting stuff this year. The reference design has been pictured and we are already getting images of some of the custom design Nvidia RTX graphics cards. For more news regarding the matter stay tuned. It will be interesting to see what kind of performance the upcoming GPU will have to offer as compared tot he current ones.

Hello Games’ Sean Murray went into hiding after the backlash over No Man’s Sky. The developer put his head down to work hard for redemption and it is safe to say he has succeeded. The man has now come back into the limelight to discuss the future of No Man’s Sky. Speaking to IGN, Sean Murray admitted that the studio discussed the game too early. Moreover, severe marketing mistakes were made during the early stages of the game’s release window. “We messed up,” he said. We messed up some of the easy things, in that we talked about the game too early. We were really excited when we talked about the game. We talked about features as they were in development. Press would say to us, ‘It’s so nice to get to sit down with a developer and just talk, you know? You guys don’t seem scripted.’ And we were like, ‘Yeah, we don’t. Why does everyone else do that?’. I now understand why everyone does that. Murray is using this lesson to make sure the studio doesn’t talk about unfinished ideas. Ideas that are still under development. This is also a lesson to Star Citizen devs but we doubt they will pay attention. Star Citizen has been in development for a long time, taking people’s money by selling unfinished ideas that may never make it to the game at all. No Man’s Sky saw the largest number of concurrent players since 2016. The number rose soon after the release of a major update that made significant changes to the game. The game is currently available on PC, Xbox One, and PS4. Steam reviews are mostly positive due to the recent changes. Fans are praising every aspect that’s overhauled and fixed by Hello Games.
