On the off-chance that anyone had forgotten about it, the Ghost Recon Wildlands open beta is now underway. The beta will let players travel to two of the game's provinces, Itacua and Montuyoc, where they'll have the opportunity to see the sights, make friends, sample the local cuisine, and kill a whole bunch of people.

http://www.pcgamer.com/deus-ex-mankind-divided-criminal-past-dlc-out-now-alongside-launch-trailer/
Following last year's System Rift—which Andy described as "a decent, but not essential, two-hour expansion that’s ultimately more of the same"—Deus Ex: Mankind Divided now has its second slice of story DLC, named A Criminal Past. As you might expect, it's got a launch trailer.

 

WATCH 12 MINUTES OF TOTAL WAR: WARHAMMER'S BRETONNIA FACTION IN ACTION
http://www.pcgamer.com/watch-12-minutes-of-total-war-warhammers-bretonnia-faction-in-action/
Creative Assembly rolled out an "in-game cinematic trailer" for the upcoming Total War: Warhammer faction DLC Bretonnia earlier this week, showcasing its very Arthurian roots and the importance of chivalry above all. Today's 12-minute gameplay trailer digs deeper into its unique features, including the way that the Legendary Lords' personality traits will reflect their actions in the game.

 

VALVE IS HELPING DEVELOPERS MAKE THEIR GAMES SOUND MORE REALISTIC
http://www.pcgamer.com/valve-is-helping-developers-make-their-games-sound-more-realistic/
Valve released a free software development kit today which aims to better simulate how sound bounces around environments. One goal is to improve the fidelity of VR experiences—if we're meant to believe a space is real, it should sound like a real place—but the tech can be used for any kind of game.

 

VALVE EMAIL REVEALS STEAM TAX HIKES COMING TO TEN COUNTRIES, MORE COULD BE ON THE WAY
http://www.pcgamer.com/valve-email-reveals-steam-tax-hikes-coming-to-ten-countries-more-could-be-on-the-way/
It came to light earlier this week that Australians will soon have to pay ten percent GST—Goods and Services Tax—on their Steam purchases. We noted at the time that a handful of other nations will also be affected by similar taxes, including New Zealand, Japan, South Korea, Iceland, South Africa and India. Now the full list of countries that will have to start paying taxes on Steam purchases, as well as how much and when, has been revealed in an email (via Gamespot) sent by Valve to Steam developers.

 

RESIDENT EVIL 7 NOT A HERO DLC WILL STAR CHRIS REDFIELD THIS SPRING
http://www.pcgamer.com/resident-evil-7-not-a-hero-dlc-will-star-chris-redfield-this-spring/
Between Tim's thoughts on Resident Evil 7's first portion of paid DLC, and James' impressions of its second—Banned Footage Vol.1 and Vol. 2—it seems the survival horror venture's extra curricular material has been pretty superficial thus far. Not A Hero is due this spring free-of-charge and, if you hung around after the credits upon completing the base game, you'll know features someone called 'Redfield'.

 

HALO GAMES 'WILL ALWAYS HAVE SPLIT SCREEN GOING FORWARD,' SAYS 343 INDUSTRIES FOUNDER
http://www.pcgamer.com/halo-games-will-always-have-split-screen-going-forward-says-343-industries-founder/
In light of removing split-screen from Halo 5: Guardians, 343 Industries' founder and head Bonnie Ross has acknowledged the decision was "incredibly painful for the community" as well as for her and her team. As such, all Halo games moving forward will support split-screen.

>>I doubt that feature will make it to the PC versions.

 

NEW OVERWATCH CHARACTER TEASE POINTS TO ROBOTIC 24TH HERO
http://www.pcgamer.com/new-overwatch-character-tease-points-to-robotic-24th-hero/
We're one step closer to learning more about the upcoming 24th Overwatch hero, as Blizzard today released a new character teaser. This follows the first tease, an in-universe interview with 11-year-old robotics prodigy Efi Oladele, which was posted earlier this week.

 

TOKYO 42 TRAILER SHOWCASES FAST AND FRANTIC COP DROP MINIGAME
http://www.pcgamer.com/tokyo-42-trailer-showcases-fast-and-frantic-cop-drop-minigame/
Since first teasing its gorgeously minimalistic crimeworld in March last year, I've had my eye on Mode 7 and SMAC Games' Syndicate-meet-Grand Theft Auto Tokyo 42. I was particularly impressed by last month's Combat Styles trailer which demoed various stealth, chaos and hybrid approaches to a specific mission—and the latest video showcases how you'll deal with cops. Hint: it gets messy quickly.

 

CALL OF DUTY: INFINITE WARFARE IS FREE TO TRY THIS WEEKEND
http://www.pcgamer.com/call-of-duty-infinite-warfare-is-free-to-try-this-weekend/
You may have held off from picking up Call of Duty's latest annual instalment following Tyler's lukewarm review last year. After awarding Infinite Warfare a paltry score of 48, he labelled it "a beautiful action movie that punishes improvisation, with under-populated multiplayer that can’t compete with a nine-year-old game." But if you fancy giving it a go and arriving at your own conclusions, know that it's free to try this weekend.

 

And finally, let's go with this weekend's deals:

+GOG

+Steam

 

That's all folk! Have a happy and gaming weekend.
