DARK SOULS 3 UPDATE COMING NEXT WEEK, FIRST DLC RUMORED FOR AUTUMN

http://www.pcgamer.com/dark-souls-3-update-coming-next-week-first-dlc-rumored-for-autumn/

A fresh Dark Souls 3 update will go live on April 18, Bandai Namco announced today, at precisely 2am PT if things go according to plan. The 1.03.1 update will include performance adjustments for Greatsword, Soul's Greatsword, and Farron Flashsword, battle performance adjustments for Dancer's Enchanted Sword and Winged Knight Twinaxes, a fix for a bug that made various items impossible to use at Road of Sacrifices, Farron Keep, and Cathedral of the Deep after the game is cleared, and the usual “general balance adjustments and bug fixes.”

>>Obviously, that "next week" is this week.

 

BECOME A GHOST IN GOETIA, A DARK VICTORIAN ADVENTURE THROUGH MADNESS AND MYSTERY

http://www.pcgamer.com/become-a-ghost-in-goetia-a-dark-victorian-adventure-through-madness-and-mystery/

Goetia is a 2D “Victorian mystery” adventure in which you play as the ghost of a young girl named Abigail, who's haunting the abandoned English village of Oakmarsh. It's been awhile since we last heard about it, but I strongly agree with Mr. Sykes' assessment of the premise as intriguing, and so I'm quite happy to see that it's now out on Steam. I like the launch trailer, too.

ARK: SURVIVAL EVOLVED LAWSUIT SETTLED

http://www.pcgamer.com/ark-survival-evolved-lawsuit-settled/

Ark: Survival Evolved developer Studio Wildcard was sued late last year by Trendy Entertainment, the studio behind Dungeon Defenders, over allegations that former Trendy President Jeremy Stieglitz had tried to recruit other developers at the studio to the Ark project. That, Trendy said, was in direct violation of his contract, which forbid him from poaching his former fellow employees after he left the studio.

 

DEAN HALL'S ROCKETWERKZ RELEASES VIVE-EXCLUSIVE OUT OF AMMO

http://www.pcgamer.com/dean-halls-rocketwerkz-releases-vive-exclusive-out-of-ammo/

I had no idea that Dean Hall's RocketWerkz studio was making a virtual reality game, and that's weird because I wrote a damn news article about it last year. It turns out this mysterious SteamVR game was the blocky strategy-based FPS Out of Ammo, out now in Early Access, and exclusive to the HTC Vive.

CORPSE PARTY REMAKE SHUFFLING TO PC THIS MONTH

http://www.pcgamer.com/corpse-party-remake-shuffling-to-pc-this-month/

Corpse Party is one of the stars of the venerable RPG Maker: a grisly horror game set in a ghost-infested Japanese high school, with a branching story and lots of ways to end up dead. I've been trying to untangle it's mess of remakes for about twenty minutes now, but one thing seems certain: the only version currently available for PC, in English, is this unofficial remake of the original 1998 version.

SURVIVAL HORROR BACK IN 1995 LOOKS LIKE A LOST PLAYSTATION GAME

http://www.pcgamer.com/survival-horror-back-in-1995-looks-like-a-lost-playstation-game/

he astonishing-looking Back in 1995—don't forget to tell me how wrong I am!—is releasing this month, on April 28, to be exact. It's an old-fashioned survival horror made to look like an early PlayStation game, with all the warping textures and absent anti-aliasing you'd expect. If you were to compare it to the similar Silent Hill, you'd see a game that looks less technologically advanced—but remember, Silent Hill came out in 1999, four years after the period that creator Takaaki Ichijo is trying to recapture. Anyway, here's what Back in 1995 looks like. Haters of low-low-poly, and massively blown up textures, should vacate the building now.

ROCKET LEAGUE V1.16 UPDATE WILL FINE-TUNE VEHICLE HITBOXES

http://www.pcgamer.com/rocket-league-v116-update-will-fine-tune-vehicle-hitboxes/

A new patch for Rocket League will carry out a number of pedantic – but consequential – fixes to the game's ball and vehicle hitboxes. Due to roll out this week, v1.16 won't introduce any noticeable changes to more casual players, but it will make the game more fair for the competitive scene.
