Oh dear, again Ashes as a showcase.

@vivster: shikamaru is probably busy doing other things. Just give him time.

THE GWENT CLOSED BETA HAS BEEN DELAYED INTO OCTOBER

http://www.pcgamer.com/the-gwent-closed-beta-has-been-delayed-into-october/

I'm still not convinced that Gwent will ever fully replace drunken punch-ups as my favorite Witcher tavern game, but an awful lot of people seem to like it—enough to convince CD Projekt to turn it into a Hearthstone-y standalone game. Beta testing was originally scheduled to begin in September, but today the studio announced that it won't be ready to get things underway until the following month.

If you're playing No Man's Sky and wondering what to do with those Atlas Stones you've been picking up here and there, Kotaku has a potentially very important piece of information for you. It will, of course, involve spoilers of no small significance, so if you want to play it clean, you'd better stop here.

NO MAN’S SKY LIMITED EDITION BOX HAS ONLINE PLAY ICON HIDDEN UNDER STICKER

http://www.pcgamer.com/no-mans-sky-limited-edition-box-has-online-play-icon-hidden-under-sticker/

At the beginning of the week, Hello Games’ head honcho Sean Murray reminded players that No Man’s Sky is “not a multiplayer game.” A day later, he declared “the chances of two players ever crossing paths in a universe this large is pretty much zero,” via Twitter, before two players actually crossed paths. Sort-of. Now, to add to the confusion further still, it appears some limited edition versions of the space faring sandbox have a sticker on the back of their boxes which, once removed, reveal a PEGI 12 rating, a mild violence warning, and an online play icon.

EVOLVE STAGE 2 IS GETTING A CO-OP VS. AI PLAYLIST AND A DEADLIER ORBITAL DRILL

RAINBOW SIX SIEGE PLAYER BASE HAS ALMOST DOUBLED SINCE LAUNCH

http://www.pcgamer.com/rainbow-six-siege-player-base-has-almost-doubled-since-launch/

For mine, Rainbow Six Siege is the best shooter going at the moment, and while it launched to a general mood of ambivalence last November, Ubisoft has reported a significant increase in active players since then.

MASTER OF ORION WILL LEAVE EARLY ACCESS LATER THIS MONTH

http://www.pcgamer.com/master-of-orion-will-leave-early-access-later-this-month/

Just over a year since it was first announced, Wargaming's Master of Orion reboot will launch out of Early Access on August 25. Since it hit Steam in February the studio has issued regular updates to the in-progress title, but the game will finally be feature complete by the end of this month.

RAYMAN ORIGINS IS THE NEXT FREE "UBI 30" GAME

http://www.pcgamer.com/rayman-origins-is-the-next-free-ubi-30-game/

Back in June, Ubisoft announced that it would give away a free game every month for the rest of the year as part of its celebration of 30 years in the business. First up was Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, and then in July we got the stealth classic Splinter Cell. For August, Ubi is taking things in a slightly different direction.

>>Great! That will happen on August 17th.

That does almost fit in with AMD's claims of a 40% IPC improvement over Excavator.

As for the Ivy bridge Chip, we need to keep in mind that it was released 3 years ago, Intel hasn't exactly stood still.

No Man's Sky releases tomorrow... If it ain't 60fps... #Refunded

Also I hope Amd prices Zen cheaply. Either on Par with an i5 or cheaper... If its any more expensive, its not going to do so well...

Nah, it won't happen.

T_T

It will be 60 fps for sure. It will also have a pop-in radius of 2m and textures stolen from the 90s.

This is exactly the case I want, I wouldnt go as all out as Linus but still a nice 1070 i7 build in that thing would be amazing for me.
