Respawn last week sold us on the idea of a revamped matchmaking system for Titanfall, but have since eased off a bit on the vamping. They’ll work on improving the system and tackling some new bugs - while ensuring players can find games in the meantime.
Load in... load out. Load in... load out. Oh, sorry friends: you’ve interrupted me during my morning pre-battle ritual. I find the slow assembly and disassembly of weapon configurations helps ready me for the day - but you might like to take advantage of DICE’s new loadout presets, which are designed to ease match startup in Battlefield 4.
Mojang’s Scrolls has a future, and it’s not just on tablets. The upcoming port has grabbed headlines elsewhere, but here we like to focus on games that allows us to remain uncomfortably upright at our desks.
So: a less intimidating tutorial! A free demo! A weekly reward system! Attacks with more “oomph”! All this will help bring the Minecraft lot’s already rather popular CCG to a wider catchment of card-fancying humans.
Not for the first time in Minecraft, a player stands on the roof of a custom-built building and surveys his surroundings. But everything else has changed: his view is filled with double-jumping opponents, and his ears with a cacophony of cannon fire.
The player checks his UI. The time has come to call down a golem. As he gives the command, an iron man tumbles from the sky, smashing through a nearby skylight. It sits patiently in the ruined house, awaiting his command.
This in Ironfall: an ambitious, evidently Titanfall-inspired mod for Minecraft.
Since The Elder Scrolls Online’s early access launch, our Nick’s only managed to join the dots between enough quest markers to reach level 12. That’s encouraging, because Nick’s become accustomed to blazing through MMOs in a week. But also depressing, because he was eventually halted by a bug in the main plot.
Thankfully, Zenimax Online have just today squeezed out an update that’s nudged their sometimes bold, sometimes buggy debut a little further towards the former.
The latest Wolfenstein: The New Order trailer doesn’t open where you expect it’s going to, geographically speaking. There’s no gothic castle; no Nazi-filled bullet train. Instead, pop culture turned pulp.
It ends in a more familiar place - but the journey there is just as tense and twisty as that train ride.
Whenever a point total springs up on screen to record a kill in Hotline Miami - which is always - it looks a bit like the word ‘Woops’. That just about sums up the best-played-in-private antisocial glee of the game’s ultraviolence, which is clearly recognisible via its dental records in this new trailer for the sequel.
Electronic Arts and BioWare have released a new screenshot from the Frostbite 3-powered third part of the Dragon Age series, Dragon Age: Inquisition. This new screenshot shows off Dales’ Exalted Plains; an environment that players will be able to explore in Dragon Age: Inquisition. Enjoy! Continue reading
Perihelion Interactive has released a new gameplay video that demonstrates the Battle Orchestrator in The Mandate, a six-player, cooperative, sandbox sci-fi RPG (playable online and over LAN), which is in development following a successful Kickstarter campaign during late-2013. Continue reading

Look at this Secret Ponchos screenshot: that poncho is anything but. There it sits, boldly in the open, flapping in the morning breeze. No, we’re told, it’s a secret. Fine, we’ll pretend we don’t see it if it makes developers Switchblade Monkeys feel better. In much the same way, we know from this tweet that the rootin’ tootin’ multiplayer shooter is clearly now coming to PC in addition to consoles but oh no, that hasn’t been formally announced, so whatever could this cryptic image mean?

Man.
A Light In Chorus‘ creators claim it’s “a game that’s more concerned about mood and feel than win-states,” and I think they might just be onto something. I feel like I just skinny dipped in the night sky, and it was only a little weird.

Each new interesting Kickstarter seems to feel obliged to make at least one enormous mistake. The Breakout‘s – a point and click adventure from Pixel Trip Studios – is to not explain the game in its pitch video. Face and Palm, sitting in a tree, K.I.S.S.I.N.G.
However, scroll a few screens down their Kickstarter’s front page and you’ll find, buried there, what should have been at the top – in-game footage, and some gorgeous screenshots. This is a 90s-style (and hand-painted pixel designed) adventure, set in a WW2 prison camp, from which you’re trying to escape. I’m belatedly interested.

Why is Space Noir named so? Because it’s set in space, and the story’s noir. But what happens when you remove the space and the noir? Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold; mere anarchy is loosed upon the world; and the first gameplay trailer for N-Fusion’s spaceship-y shooter arrives. The sample does exactly what it doesn’t say on the tin: it’s light on story so we don’t get a sense of the game’s noir, and goes down within a planet’s atmosphere so we can’t see about its space.
What we can see is five minutes of a ship pulling fancy acrobatics and blowing hordes of enemy fighters out the sky with zapbeams and lock-on missiles in arcade-y combat, if we forgive the egregious deception long enough to look.

Pemalite is not impressed with that cooler, especially at such a stupid price, my wallet shall remain closed!
However it should alleviate some of the miners from the 290 and 290X supplies, which hopefully means lower prices, eventually.

BTW the embargo for the PC version of Dark Souls II is up now if anyone is interested. There is video of it being played out there and everything

Now you talk about yourself in third person 
?
In any case, what this card does is be a problem for Nvidia. While it costs a little more than a pair of 780Tis on SLI while being on par with them, it has more RAM making it more "future proof" at extremely high resolutions than Nvidia's solution, unless you go with a pair of Titan Blacks, but that means spending a lot more.
And the Titan Z will be twice as much... I don't see many enthusiasts going for that card either, only the ones that want a cheap Quadro.

Price needs to be lower IMHO.
At-least at competitive levels to a couple of 290X's.
Then it would be viable to pick up one or two, chuck them in a cheaper single or dual PCI-E x16 motherboard, with the cheapest Dual-Core CPU you can buy and you have a stupidly potent compute rig for mining, folding and other tasks.

It's true that is has a price premium over two 290X, but are also getting a much, much better cooling system and it only uses 1 PCIe slot. And it is the top of the line too, and that also bring a premium.
But can you imagine this card paired with an 4770K on a mini-ITX rig? A little box that beats anything around!

You would be better off getting after market blocks, then throwing it into a loop with the CPU.
The stock closed loop cooler isn't going to give you much room for overclocking, but I digress...
As for ITX, would be awesome in a Bitfenix Prodigy case!
