There will also be three story expansions, in addition to all the free stuff. Faster, Baby! will feature “Fast cars, dramatic chases, and stunt driving take center stage as Lincoln joins forces with his former flame, Roxy Laveau, to take down a corrupt Sheriff terrorizing Civil Rights activists on the outskirts of New Bordeaux.” Sign of the Times: A string ...

Project Genom Early Access Starts From 12th October
Project Genom, the upcoming sci-fi MMORPG by an indie studio NeuronHaze will be getting Early Access on Steam from 12 October. The developer claims that there will be no hidden purchases in the game, and the gameplay progress shall be solely dependent on your actions and decisions. A highly fascinating feature of the game is that your organs can be replaced if and when necessary. Taking inspiration from titles like Mass Effect, Dead Space, Witcher 3 and Deus Ex, the developer says that Project Genom is not a typical MMORPG where you have to farm and grind all the time. It features difficult battles, a mature storyline and RPG elements. It gives you complete freedom for character development and technological modifications. By suing drugs and medication, you can improve the institutions or ...
Dead Rising 4 Gets Rid Of Time Limits
The Dead Rising franchise has always been known for one thing – putting a time limit to tasks, thus introducing an urgency with sometimes quite harsh punishments, including a game restart. In spite of having all the freedom to explore, the time limit bound you to completing the tasks in the give boundation, or face the consequences. The upcoming title will abandon the system completely. Unlike Dead Rising 3, in which adhering to the time limit was optional, this time Frank West is going to have all the time in the world to explore the world and kill zombies. Though we don’t know how to feel about ripping a game of its most iconic element, even Dead Rising 3 wasn’t exactly a bad game (and the time limit in that was completely useless, mind you). But we can probably expect ...
You Can Play Quake Champions Without The Champion Abilities In Custom Matches
Making arena type FPS characters more unique by giving them special abilities seems to be a new trend. Battleborn, Overwatch, even Call of Duty: Black Ops III, all give you some kind of powers based on the character you choose. Though the game will feature all the cool stuff that made us fall in love with the Quake series (including rocket jumping, fast movement, scurrying around the map for different weapons), Champions will be the first game to adopt this unique ability format. Fans of the classic Quake experience have had a mixed reaction to this, however. Many want the old school experience in today’s high detail graphics. “We want to make sure we give people what they want,” Project Lead Tim Willits said in an interview with Gamespot. “If you create custom game...
CryEngine Getting Directx12, Vulkan Support
Crytek has recently revealed their planned roadmap for the CryEngine, and it may see a lot of important and big updates coming soon. Soon enough (hopefully this month), the CryEngine will get Directx12 multi-GPU and VR support, a full fledged Directx12 renderer, maybe NVIDIA’s Physx and much, much more. All these amazing features are listed for the update 5.2, up for release mid-August, according to CryTek’s website. So, if all goes as planned, we may be getting the update anytime now. Following in October, the 5.3 update will bring Vulkan support to the engine, adding a world of possibilities. Based on AMD’s Mantle API, Vulkan will provide another low-overhead option that has been showing increasingly better performance in latest titles. CryEngine has been used to develo...
Gears of Wars 4 Minimum and Recommended Required Specs Revealed
In addition to the beautiful 4K trailer released at Gamescom, the minimum and recommended PC specs to run Gears of Wars 4 have been revealed by Microsoft. For the sake of clarity, Microsoft has offered three tiers of PC specs required for the game – minimum, recommended and ideal. However, no matter the case, you’ll need the Windows 10 Anniversary Edition update to be able to play the game, along with an appalling 80 GB of free hard drive space.

The ideal specs boast of an R9 Fury x or a 980Ti/GTX 1080, along with an SSD – calling for a decent investment, especially when you hav...

This will enable other playe...
Titanfall 2 Single-Player Inspired By DOOM, Wolfenstein: The New Order
Unlike the first title that was completely a multiplayer experience, Titanfall 2 will include a single player campaign which will compliment the multiplayer. The fans had asked for it, the developers are giving it to them, and from the sound of it, it may turn out to be brilliant after all. In an interview with IGN, designer Mackey McCandlish stated,”I think having made as many games as some of the people on the team have, we start to look for opportunities to stretch our limbs and make something that would excite us,” McCandlish said. “We’ve all been influenced by Half-Life and Bioshock and didn’t really have the opportunity to bring that level of pacing and player-centric conflict to games like Call of Duty that are so much about a squad. So this was a reall...
Big Or Small, Vehicles Can Do Massive Damage In Battlefield 1
As Battlefield 1 nears its release date, people are waiting in anticipation as to what the game will bring in its novel World War I setting. The first World War ushered in the armoured tank as we know it today, and it was the first war to feature such a massive scale aircraft warfare.
