Hot off the heels of their Navi GPU tease yesterday, AMD also revealed their entire 3rd Gen Ryzen CPU line-up, detailing every processor in their new Ryzen 3000 family, including a brand-new Ryzen 9 category. Here’s everything you need to know, including their specs, price, release date and how they’re currently shaping up against Intel’s 9th Gen Coffee Lake CPUs.
You may have heard – from a friend, from a colleague, from us here in the office – that medieval decapitate-’em-up Mordhau is pretty damn good. But if you’re a newer player struggling to get to grips with Mordhau’s intricate combat system and you’re constantly encountering Alpha players who block everything you’ve got and never seem to miss, then that fun can be tinged with periods of quite intense frustration. But now you’ve found our Mordhau guide and tips series, and we’re going to give you every trick in the gory, bloodsoaked book of how to win fights and increase your personal skill as quickly as possible in Mordhau.
It takes a few hours in Triternion’s excellent medieval brawler Mordhau to see just how much thought has been put into the design of its enormous armoury of weapons. With each weapon featuring up to 48 different damage stats, unique attack animation speeds, stamina drain values, attack ranges, and much more, you can be sure it was no small task to creating and balancing these weapons; and nor was putting together this Mordhau weapons and stats guide.
Below I’ve done my very, very best to condense the massive amounts of information on every single weapon in Mordhau so that it’s easy to understand and identify the strengths and weaknesses of each one. I’ll walk you through each weapon in order of its point cost, with my own personal opinions on how to succeed with them. So if you want to know your Arming Swords from your Falchions, your Bardiches from your Halberds, your Zweihanders from your Greatswords – well, you’re in the right place.
Pathologic 2 is quite hard, but it may soon become more welcoming. The revamp of the surreal first-person survival dread em up is a game of grimly rummaging through bins and trying to keep a voracious hunger meter from filling. There s an unusual and fascinating town to amble through, but you re often too busy fighting the survival meters to appreciate it. The developers have noted complaints about the permanently rumbling belly and harsh meter management, and they’re going to add a difficulty slider to let players fiddle with the toughness.
[We d] rather give people a tweaked experience than none at all, they say.
Hello person. This is the Steam Charts, the weekly round-up of the top-grossing PC games on the online store Steam. We write it cynically to collect your clicks, and then we take those clicks and we use them to poke innocent orphans in their stupid orphan eyes.
Roblox is a game creation platform that lets you create all sorts of wonders with only the thinnest knowledge of scripting. The results are many and varied, so it’s easy to glance at the vast library and write off the whole set as a minefield of easy-cash scammers with characters that look Lego knockoffs. However, look further and you’ll find plenty of examples of creativity just waiting to flourish.
The overall impression is of seeing the early drafts of tomorrow’s great designers – where once the curious and determined turned to creating maps for Doom, or modding the original code for Sonic the Hedgehog, today they get their start in Roblox. We’ve already seen at least one developer hone their skills and build their community within Roblox’s garden, before rebuilding their idea as a commercial project, in Unturned. To help you get straight to playing only the good stuff, we’ve put together this list of the best Roblox games you can play for free right now.
Sometimes, even when playing in the giddily accelerating wonderland of digital entertainment, the best fun is that which we make for ourselves. So it is in Game Dev Tycoon, a business simulation by Green Heart Games, dealing with the history of videogames from the early 1980s through to the mid-2010s. You see, while the game does a great job of presenting thirty years of technological and social change – during which your garage-based hobbyist will rise to leadership of a big name, quintuple-A powerhouse – the real joy comes from cludging together weird combinations of genre and theme for prospective releases, and then coming up with extremely silly names for them.
AMD gave us our first glimpse of their new Navi GPUs earlier today, showing us the first of their Radeon RX 5000 family of graphics card chips, the RX 5700, plus Navi’s all-new 7nm (nanometer) architecture known as RDNA, or Radeon DNA. Announced during AMD top lady Dr Lisa Su’s Computex keynote speech, the RX 5700 will be launching this July, and will allegedly offer speeds that are 10% faster than Nvidia’s RTX 2070 graphics card – or at least it will in the built-in benchmark for co-op shooter Strange Brigade, which AMD demoed on stage, but we’ll have to wait and see whether that performance gap holds up across other, more demanding games once it’s available for benchmarking.
Still, today’s Computex reveal was only intended as an early tease of AMD’s RX 5700 Navi GPU, and we’ll be hearing more about the RX 5700 and the rest of AMD’s Navi GPUs at their big Next Horizon Gaming event at E3 on June 10, including their specs, price and firm release date. In the mean time, here’s everything we know so far.
I m currently very happy that we ve escaped the clutches of winter (at least in the northern hemisphere), and I m generally untrusting of my friends who claim to like the colder months. They would, I m sure, be very good at the sneaky backstabbing in the blizzards of Project Winter, which launched this week. Here s the launch trailer, showing off the subtle approaches you might like to take to murder your fellow campers, like bear or landmine.
Overwatch added its long-awaited replay feature this week, allowing players to go back through their last ten games in order to see what went right, what went wrong, and how they might improve. Alternatively, it’s a nice way to get a look at the hard work of the environment and asset artists that usually gets overlooked in the whirlwind of battle. And it’s a very good excuse to point out all your killer plays, particularly for the underappreciated tank and support classes who will never get recognised by the cruel eye of the play of the game algorithm.
