The rest of the news:

 

Metal Gear Survive will include farming and crafting
http://www.pcgamer.com/metal-gear-survive-will-include-farming-and-crafting/
Konami’s released some new screenshots and base camp details for Metal Gear Survive, the base defence spin-off, to keep those unable to play it at Gamescom sated. Hopefully you like doing a spot of farming in between all the zombie-slaying.

 

Dual Universe 'pre-alpha' will be released to backers at the end of September
http://www.pcgamer.com/dual-universe-pre-alpha-will-be-released-to-backers-at-the-end-of-september/
Dual Universe is a sci-fi MMO with serious ambitions: "A 3D, 'single-shard' MMO where everyone plays on the same server across millions of planets," as we described it in our September 2016 preview. Those worlds can be modified or built upon, claimed, shared, fought over, or destroyed, while large-scale space stations and ships can be built from scratch and individual object behavior is modifiable by way of Lua scripting. It sounds like a too-good-to-be-true blend of EVE Online and Minecraft, and especially in light of the hype-and-letdown ride that was No Man's Sky, you'd be forgiven for having your doubts.

 

The way Mercy resurrects heroes is changing completely
http://www.pcgamer.com/overwatch-mercy-changes/
Overwatch's Jeff Kaplan today outlined a slate of big changes coming to Mercy. The primary healer of the game is getting a significant overhaul on the newest PTR.

 

Watch a raccoon ponder the nature of holes in the Donut County reveal trailer
http://www.pcgamer.com/watch-a-raccoon-ponder-the-nature-of-holes-in-the-donut-county-reveal-trailer/
I admitted back in July that I didn't know anything about Donut County, one of the new games on the slate at What Remains of Edith Finch publisher Annapurna Interactive. The reveal trailer released today helps improve that situation somewhat: Now I can say that it is a game about a hole, that may or may not involve a talking raccoon.

 

A pair of Destiny 2 trailers introduce Cayde-6 and Hawthorne
http://www.pcgamer.com/a-pair-of-destiny-2-trailers-introduce-cayde-6-and-hawthorne/
One of the challenges facing Bungie as it prepares to launch Destiny 2 is that it's built upon an extensive, sometimes convoluted lore that some PC gamers—myself included—know absolutely nothing about. (I still think of the two central characters as Blue Man and Browncoat, and if there are more than two central characters, well, that just reinforces my point.) To help close that knowledge gap, the studio has put out a pair of brief videos introducing Cayde-6 and Hawthorne, and it's a good bet that more are on the way.

 

Ex-Valve writer publishes Half-Life 2: Episode 3 synopsis
http://www.pcgamer.com/ex-valve-writer-publishes-half-life-2-episode-3-synopsis/
In an alternate timeline, we all got to play Half-Life 3 years ago. But in this one, we haven’t even been able finish the saga of Half-Life 2. Today, however, we can get a bit of closure, since ex-Valve scribe Marc Laidlaw has posted his version of Half-Life 2: Episode 3’s story in the form of gender-swapped fan fiction.

>>Obviously, something this big would have its own thread, and it's been made by animegaming.

 

Final Fantasy 15 director says nude mods are up to the 'moral sense' of the community
http://www.pcgamer.com/final-fantasy-15-director-says-nude-mods-are-up-to-the-moral-sense-of-the-community/
Nude mods—they're what make PC gaming great. Not everyone likes them, of course: Dead or Alive 5: Last Round game director Yohei Shimbori asked PC gamers to "play our game in a good and moral manner," and warned that if any naughty bits were exposed, it could prevent future DoA releases on the PC. (You can probably guess how that worked out.) But Final Fantasy 15 direct Hajime Tabata told PCGamesN that Square Enix is going to leave the matter up to the discretion of the community.

>>Yeah, trust the community. What can go wrong?...

 

Final Fantasy 15 will have Steam Workshop support and will run on older PCs
http://www.pcgamer.com/final-fantasy-15-will-have-steam-workshop-support-and-will-run-on-older-pcs/
Final Fantasy 15 is bringing its brotrip to PC, so we paid Hajime Tabata, the game director, a visit at Gamescom, finding out a bit more about modding, optimisation, and how the port is going to get PC players interested in the venerable series.

>>Well, after the previous article, I think we all took this one for granted.

 

Become Queen in Reigns: Her Majesty, due out this year
http://www.pcgamer.com/become-queen-in-reigns-her-majesty-due-out-this-year/
Out of all the games I’ve slapped on my phone during moments of boredom, Reigns is the one that’s stayed installed the longest, keeping me swiping left and right as I try to manage my needy kingdom. Today, Nerial and Devolver Digital announced its sequel for PC, Reigns: Her Majesty.

 

The QuakeCon Steam Sale is now underway
http://www.pcgamer.com/the-quakecon-steam-sale-is-now-underway/
QuakeCon 2017 has begun, and you know what that means—it's time for a Steam sale!
Okay, maybe that's not the most obvious and logical move from proposition to conclusion, but there is a QuakeCon Steam sale on, and there are some pretty good deals to be had, especially on older games you may have missed out on way back when.

>>Steam is not the only platform celebrating QuakeCom. The Humble Store is also running a QuakeCon sale with several Bethesda titles.

 

And now, the GOG and Steam deals:

+GOG

There are two deals at GOG

+Steam

Besides the QuakeCon Sale, there are other offers/deals on Steam, some of which have already been mentioned during the week

 

And with that, we reach the end of the news. I hope you have a happy and gaming weekend.
