The news, part two:

After a successful Kickstarter campaign, and having its title declared "the best video game name ever" by PC Gamer's own Jody Macgregor, Extreme Meatpunks Forever: Bound By Ash is now available on itch.io, with new episodes due to be released daily between now and October 30.

Godzilla is coming to Fall Guys

As if the introduction of a Sonic the Hedgehog skin in Fall Guys wasn't enough—although, according to PC Gamer's Fraser Brown, it may just have been too much—it seems like the next icon of pop culture to get the jellybean treatment will be Godzilla.

Atlas Reactor is returning as a co-op PvE strategy roguelite called Atlas Rogues
https://www.pcgamer.com/atlas-reactor-is-returning-as-a-co-op-pve-strategy-roguelite-called-atlas-rogues/
Atlas Reactor was an "XCOM meets Overwatch" turn-based strategy game that we liked quite a bit based on an alpha build in early 2016. It wasn't able to attract an audience, though, and after a few years of operation, and a back-and-forth from free-to-play to premium pricing and back again, it shut down in June 2019.
Soon it will return, sort of, as Atlas Rogues, which will trade the 4-on-4 PvP action of the original for turn-based PvE battles in a roguelite game world. Based on a prototype from the early days of Atlas Reactor, Atlas Rogues will support singleplayer or co-op multiplayer for up to four people, who must prevent a catastrophic meltdown in the city of Atlas by assembling and leading a team of characters attempting to retrieve Reactor keys from the evil Trusts—basically evil corporations who are out to either rule or destroy the world. (Possibly both, that part's not super-clear yet.)

Cloudpunk finally gets a cockpit view, and it looks fantastic
https://www.pcgamer.com/cloudpunk-finally-gets-a-cockpit-view-and-it-looks-fantastic/
I absolutely adore Cloudpunk, the cyberpunk delivery-driver game, but the one thing it was missing when I played through it earlier this year was a proper cockpit view. The third-person chase camera is great for getting a look at the city of Nivalis, but for a pure sense of immersion you just can't beat actually getting behind the wheel. A first-person mode was added to the game in June which was a big step in the right direction, but a driving game without a proper cockpit view is, well, just incomplete.
Today it is incomplete no longer: A new update from developer Ion Lands adds the long-awaited cockpit view to the game. The camera can be unlocked to look around inside your car and out through the windows, and to facilitate parking (which can be dodgy even in third-person), a holographic down-looking camera will appear in your dash during your approach.

Riot rolls back 'nightmare' Valorant update, will try again later this week
https://www.pcgamer.com/riot-rolls-back-nightmare-valorant-update-will-try-again-later-this-week/
Earlier today, Riot rolled out the Valorant 1.11 patch that makes some balance changes and tweaks, tunes the in-game economy, adds a left-handed gun model, and—this is the big one—brings in the new character Skye, the Australian forest guardian with the magical petting zoo. A few hours later, though, Riot said that it's turned into a "technical nightmare," and so the patch is being rolled back and will be redeployed next week.

Baldur's Gate 3 update reveals the 'most romanced' NPC
https://www.pcgamer.com/baldurs-gate-3-update-reveals-the-most-romanced-npc/
Baldur's Gate 3 developer Larian Studios said in the game's previous update that the human wizard Gale was the most-murdered NPC in the game, with a "party-member kill-rate" that was four times higher than any other NPC in the game. But apparently he sparks other kinds of passions too, as Larian said in today's update that he's also the most "romanced" member of the party.

A 10-year-old Halloween event is returning to Warhammer Online
https://www.pcgamer.com/a-10-year-old-halloween-event-is-returning-to-warhammer-online/
The Return of Reckoning team, who resurrected Warhammer Online after it was shut down in 2013, are planning to bring back Daemon Moon Rising for the first time this year—though it'll be their own take on the event, with tweaked rewards, stats, and quests. The original took place in the Praag zone, but their version of daemonball will be in its own silo, "a closed scenario for players to play the event without encountering zergs and warbands" as they put it.

Hearthstone designer Dave Kosak leaves Blizzard

Dave "Fargo" Kosak, lead mission designer and one of the best known members of the Hearthstone team, has left Blizzard after a 12-year stint with the Warcraft-maker. (Kosak is the one on the left in the thumbnail for the video above announcing the game's latest expansion.)

Cyberpunk 2077 devs are getting death threats over the delay
https://www.pcgamer.com/cyberpunk-2077-devs-are-getting-death-threats-over-the-delay/
Yesterday, CD Projekt Red announced there'd be one last delay to Cyberpunk 2077. Despite going gold in September, the developer reckoned it needed a few more weeks to bring all the current and next-gen version of the games up to scratch.
Sadly, if predictably, this has led to a whole lot of flak being sent towards individual developers, with Senior game designer Andrzej Zawadzki taking to Twitter to push back against "unacceptable" death threats.

6900XT $999 boom :P

No Ray Tracing or did I miss it?

6900 and 6800 XT seem good. Regular 6800 not good, buy 3070.

They said raytracing with DXR, so basically all they showed leverages DX12.

Captain_Yuri said:

Worth noting is that those 300W of the 6800XT is not Total Graphics Power (TGP) like they did with Navi, but apparently total Board power.

In other words, Big Navi would be more efficient than Ampere
