Valve is paying hackers thousands of dollars for discovering Steam security flaws (Updated)
https://www.pcgamer.com/valve-is-paying-hackers-up-to-dollar3000-to-discover-steam-security-flaws/
Valve is offering cash to hackers that can identify security flaws in Steam, and is handing out thousands of dollars to anyone that can find a potentially critical exploit.
Update: It appears Valve has been paying "ethical hackers" for at least the last seven months to find security flaws in Steam and related platforms, but it only came to light this week because its post on HackerOne was previously private. That means that the $109,000 it has handed out has been paid over a much longer timescale than I initially suggested. The full activity page shows a list of all the payments it has made.

YouTube’s ‘reznoire’ has shared a video, showing Killzone 3 running on the PC thanks to the best Playstation 3 emulator, RPCS3.

https://www.pcgamer.com/long-dormant-half-life-2-online-co-op-mod-obsidian-conflict-is-getting-a-steam-release/
Half Life 2 online co-op mod Obsidian Conflict began life in 2008, and it was last updated in 2013, when a Source engine upgrade broke it so badly that the team decided to move onto other projects. Now it's back, and it's getting a Steam release.

>>If you can't wait until it launches on Steam, head to ModDB.

This Stalker visual overhaul mod is gorgeous and terrifying
https://www.pcgamer.com/this-stalker-visual-overhaul-mod-is-gorgeous-and-terrifying/
GSC Game World's Stalker: Call of Pripyat, the series' third entry, is again difficult to define. While primarily a first-person shooter, it confidently spreads itself into RPG, immersive sim and survival horror territory—so consuming is its alternate timeline, post-apocalyptic world. With ABR's self-titled visual overhaul mod, the latter genre is brought to the fore with terrifying results.

>>This mod is also available from ModDB.

The next chapter in Final Fantasy 14's ongoing story is just a few weeks away, and today Square Enix has released a gorgeous new trailer to tease what's coming next. Under the Moonlight, which releases on May 22, follows the same template we've come to expect from Final Fantasy 14's updates. There's a new 24-player raid that expands upon the previous ones set in Ivalice, the world where all the best Final Fantasy games come from.

Kadokawa, the Japanese studio behind the indie-enabling RPG Maker engine and its many iterations, recently announced Pixel Game Maker MV, the latest entry in the Maker software series. It's currently being shown off in Japan, but Kadokawa says it's coming to the West via Steam Early Access this summer.

Deus Ex 'is not dead,' Eidos Montreal boss says
https://www.pcgamer.com/deus-ex-is-not-dead-eidos-montreal-boss-says/
Deus Ex: Mankind Divided was good, but for a variety of reasons it wasn't exactly a big hit. That led to rumors in early 2017 that Eidos Montreal, which had previously positioned the Deus Ex series as its flagship, had basically shelved it in favor of other things. There hasn't been much said about it since, but studio head David Anfossi recently told PCGamesN that while Shadow of the Tomb Raider is currently the big thing on the Eidos plate, "Deus Ex is not dead."

Latest Dead Cells update adds legendary weapons, reveals final release date
https://www.pcgamer.com/latest-dead-cells-update-adds-legendary-weapons-reveals-final-release-date/
2D action roguelike Dead Cells recently received its seventh major update—dubbed 'The Baguette Update' for reasons I can't begin to guess—and with it a batch of changes mostly centered around upgrading gear. Apart from some snazzy new UI and a raft of balance tweaks.

Fortnite 50v50 mode is back in action
https://www.pcgamer.com/fortnite-50v50-mode-is-back-in-action/

Slay the Spire update includes a pile of new potions
https://www.pcgamer.com/slay-the-spire-update-includes-a-pile-of-new-potions/
Excellent card crawler Slay the Spire released a new update today, adding a profuse pile of potions to the game’s mixture of deck building and dungeon crawling. The new update is actually a rework of the whole potions system, previously functional but a bit lackluster. Potions are now divided into Common, Uncommon, and Rare categories, and some of the new potions look quite powerful on the face of it—like a fairy in a jar that prevents death, or a little bit of Snecko oil to draw some cards and gain the sometimes-valuable Confuse effect.

La-Mulana 2 appears on Steam, set for release this summer
https://www.pcgamer.com/la-mulana-2-appears-on-steam-set-for-release-this-summer/
It's been more than four years since the "archaeological ruin exploration action game" La-Mulana 2 was successfully funded on Kickstarter, to the tune of $267,000. Work has slowly (apparently very slowly) but surely progressed since then, and today developer Nigoro threw open the doors to a "teaser" website and a Steam page.

Total War Saga: Thrones of Britannia will bump up the difficulty in an update next week
https://www.pcgamer.com/total-war-saga-thrones-of-britannia-will-bump-up-the-difficulty-in-an-update-next-week/
Total War Saga: Thrones of Britannia is a strong, streamlined strategy romp let down by a weak late game—so said Fraser in his review. Some AI niggles, odd victory conditions and abundant resources gifted him easy wins, and in one case he earned two victories before turn 30. It got so bad that he had to manufacture his own problems, adopting a noble that he knew would cause trouble. Creative Assembly wants to address those issues in an update next week, which is designed to make the game more difficult in general.

Rocket League will introduce a new tiered item unlock system this summer in which players earn cosmetics for leveling up. The "Rocket Pass" will have both free and paid-for paths. The free version will offer cosmetics—decals, wheels, toppers and the like—as well as decryptors that open crates. The premium pass will be unlocked for a one-off fee and, presumably, will offer better, more regular gear as you progress.

Platinum claims it will 'turn the action genre on its head' with upcoming unannounced game
https://www.pcgamer.com/platinum-claims-it-will-turn-the-action-genre-on-its-head-with-upcoming-unannounced-game/
Last year, Platinum Games told Joe that it would like to bring all of its games to PC, but we still know very little about what it's working on next, other than the Switch-exclusive Bayonetta 3. In January, it said it was developing two self-published games that would sit somewhere between AAA and indie titles, and this week designer Hideki Kamiya gave another hint about the studio's future plans, saying he's working on a game that will “turn the action genre on its head".

The new version of this mod that is currently under development will introduce stealth and sneaking mechanics. Upon entering the new sneaking mode all enemies turn neutral (if initiated before combat). Visual detection range is based on field of view cone with up to 55 degrees to the sides (total FOV of 110) and 20 meters forward, measured from position and rotation of the head. Those parameters change depending on time of day, location and weather condition.

GTA 5 gets a cloud retexture mod that's out of this world
https://www.pcgamer.com/gta-5-gets-a-cloud-retexture-mod-thats-out-of-this-world/
Grand Theft Auto 5 looks lovely in its vanilla PC state—but overhaul mods like Jamal Rashid's Natural Vision Remastered elevate San Andreas almost to the point of photorealism. The most recent aesthetic-adjuster to catch my eye is Modojo's New Clouds for Visual V. It is gorgeous. VisualV, for those unaware, is another popular GTA 5 overhaul project which, at the time of writing, has been downloaded over 660,000 times. New Clouds for Visual V is a work-in-progress endeavour that leans on that to retexture the San Andreas sky. The results are stunning.
