Forums - PC Discussion - Carzy Zarx’s PC Gaming Emporium - Catch Up on All the Latest PC Gaming Related News

Ok. Monday has come, a new week has started and there are lots of news to post... but most of them come from the announcements made during the Blizzcon in Friday, so I've decided to change how the usual 2 news posts are made.

Today, the first post will be the sum of DSO and PCG news, and the second post will be all about Blizzard related games.

With that said, let's go to the news!

SPACE HULK: DEATHWING IS COMING IN DECEMBER
http://www.pcgamer.com/space-hulk-deathwing-is-coming-in-december/
The Warhammer 40K shooter Space Hulk: Deathwing finally has a proper release date, and it is not, as we were told, in November. But it's close: December 9 is the big day, and to celebrate the announcement we've got a new trailer, ominously entitled "Enter the Space Hulk," that serves up a nice overview of everything the grim future game has to offer.

 

IO INTERACTIVE CONFIRMS SECOND SEASON FOR HITMAN
http://www.pcgamer.com/io-interactive-confirms-second-season-for-hitman/
Hitman developer Io Interactive said in August that the game, which recently wrapped up its first six-episode season with a trip to Japan, could get two more seasons if all went well. And apparently it's gone well enough, because production director Hakan Abrak confirmed in a recent interview with Gamergen that a second season is on the way.

 

NIHON FALCOM DUNGEON CRAWLER XANADU NEXT HITS PC
http://www.pcgamer.com/nihon-falcom-dungeon-crawler-xanadu-next-hits-pc/
'Castle Strangerock' is a fine name for a fortification, particularly one that emerges from a foggy lake. I'm pleased to say that it's the place you'll be investigating in Nihon Falcom's Xanadu Next, a moderately old JRPG that's just been translated into English, been given a light buffing and released on Steam, on yer GOG and on the Humble Store. I had a fine old time with the original Ys when I played it for the first time a couple of years ago—apart from an end boss I found impossible to beat—so I'm interested to try some of Falcom's less well-known games.

HERE'S A NEW TRAILER FOR DAEDALIC'S PILLARS OF THE EARTH
http://www.pcgamer.com/heres-a-new-trailer-for-daedalics-pillars-of-the-earth/
Hey, so it turns out that Ken Follett's The Pillars of the Earth is getting a game adaptation, and Daedalic is making it. This news has been floating around since last year, but I'm very glad it came to me with the release of a new trailer a couple of days ago, because—as I've come to expect from Daedalic's games—the art and animation of this point 'n' click adventure/"interactive novel" is top-notch. Here, get a load of it in action in the new teaser video, which comes in "family friendly" ('Teaser 1') and "intense" ('Teaser 2') variants.

http://www.pcgamer.com/latest-rust-update-removes-xp-and-levelling/

So Apperently... If you buy CODIW/CODMWR from Windows Store, you cannot play with anyone who bought it on another marketplace such as Steam according to Neogaf...

The Fuck is this nonsense? If this is true, it is truly LOLz worthy

Guru3D has an article about it, and it turns out that it's all Activision's doing.

Not allowing that cross-buy thing with XboxOne is one thing (understandable giving that they're not MSoft) but I don't really get why the've decided to not allow cross-play between Windows Store & Steam users or even W.Store & XboxOne players.

Was it too much work for them? Or do they want the Windows Store to fail?

Idk. Activision is weird... Maybe Xbox anywhere thing requires more effort or something.

DIABLO 1 REMAKE IS COMING TO DIABLO 3, AND WILL BE A COMPLETELY FREE EVENT
http://www.dsogaming.com/news/diablo-1-remake-is-coming-to-diablo-3-and-will-be-completely-free-event/
Blizzard has announced that a Diablo 1 remake will be coming to Diablo 3. This remake will be a completely free event, and will feature almost everything from the first Diablo game.

 

FIRST SCREENSHOTS RELEASED FOR THE OFFICIAL DIABLO 1 “REMAKE” EVENT IN DIABLO 3
http://www.dsogaming.com/screenshot-news/first-screenshots-released-for-the-official-diablo-1-remake-event-in-diablo-3/
Blizzard has revealed the first screenshots for the Diablo 1 “Remake” event that will be coming to Diablo 3 this January. As we can see, this official remake stays true to the game’s original atmosphere thanks to its custom new graphics filters.

 

DIABLO 3 TO ADD ARMORY AND CHALLENGE RIFTS NEXT YEAR
http://www.pcgamer.com/diablo-3-to-add-armory-and-challenge-rifts-next-year/
With BlizzCon wrapped up for another year, it's now time to look forward to what was promised over the course of the two day event. We already know Diablo 3 will welcome its take on the Necromancer class next year—and that the original game is being remade within the third, to mark the former's 20th anniversary—however two new features are also en route to Sanctuary in the new year: the Armory and Challenge Rifts.

 

SOMBRA IS FINALLY REVEALED AT BLIZZCON 2016, HERE'S HER TRAILER
http://www.pcgamer.com/sombra-is-finally-revealed-at-blizzcon-2016-heres-her-trailer/
Finally, it has happened: During the opening ceremony for BlizzCon 2016, the Overwatch hero Sombra, a "stealthy offensive infiltrator" who can "hack enemy abilities," was revealed to the world in an exciting new "Infiltration" trailer.

 

THE OVERWATCH ARCADE ADDS MULTIPLE NEW GAME MODES AND WEEKLY REWARDS
http://www.pcgamer.com/the-overwatch-arcade-adds-multiple-new-game-modes-and-weekly-rewards/
We heard about the new Overwatch Arcade earlier today during the BlizzCon 2016 opening ceremony, but nothing about how it actually works. Consider that oversight cleared up: Game director Jeff Kaplan took to the stage at the "Overwatch: What's New" panel to reveal that it will be a new option on the Play Menu providing gamers with a number of different ways to do battle, and earn rewards for doing so.

 

HEARTHSTONE’S NEXT CARD SET IS THE MEAN STREETS OF GADGETZAN
http://www.pcgamer.com/hearthstones-next-card-set-is-the-mean-streets-of-gadgetzan/
The next card expansion for Hearthstone will deal with the troubling subject of goblin on goblin violence. As predicted, the RNG-loving card game is heading to the Mean Streets of Gadgetzan. The big hook for this set is the creation of three crime families, the Grimy Goons, the Jade Lotus, and the Kabal. As I understand it, each family will be associated with three of the existing Hero classes. So for instance, the Kabal combines Mage, Priest and Warlock. In gameplay terms, this means the creation of ‘Tri-Class cards’, which will only be useable by those Heroes. It’s an interesting idea, which should add another welcome layer of complexity to deck-building.

 

VARIAN AND RAGNAROS ARE COMING TO HEROES OF THE STORM
http://www.pcgamer.com/varian-and-ragnaros-are-coming-to-heroes-of-the-storm/
Blizzard's Heroes of the Storm MOBA will soon add a pair of new heroes to its lineup, each one a distinct departure from anything we've seen previously: The Warcraft hero Varian Wrynn, and the mighty World of Warcraft raid boss Ragnaros the Firelord.

 

THIRD AND FINAL MISSION FOR PACK STARCRAFT 2'S NOVA COVERT OPS DUE NOVEMBER 22
http://www.pcgamer.com/third-and-final-mission-for-pack-starcraft-2s-nova-covert-ops-due-november-22/
The third and final set of Nova Covert Ops mission packs for StarCraft 2 will be released later this month, we learned at BlizzCon on Friday. We don't have a heck of a lot of details about the new missions yet, but above you can watch a trailer for the newest co-op commander, Alexei Stukov. He seems nice.

 

WORLD OF WARCRAFT IS GETTING PVP BRAWLS IN THE 7.2 UPDATE
http://www.pcgamer.com/world-of-warcraft-is-getting-pvp-brawls-in-the-72-update/
Blizzard is giving World of Warcraft players a new way to beat each other senseless with the introduction of PvP Brawls. Coming in patch 7.2, WoW's brawls are "very much inspired by" brawls in other Blizzard games like Hearthstone and Overwatch, game director Ion Hazzikostas explained during the World of Warcraft: Legion panel at BlizzCon, and they promise to bring some very interesting changes to the game.

 

WOW: LEGION PATCH 7.2 WILL ADD NEW RAID, MORE STORY, AND SEXY NEW MOUNTS
http://www.pcgamer.com/wow-legion-patch-72-will-add-new-raid-more-story-and-sexy-new-mounts/
Just because patch 7.1 is only a few weeks old doesn't mean that Blizzard doesn't have a ton of things to talk about with regards to Legion's future. During a presentation at Blizzcon, game director Ion Hazzikostas took the stage to spell out what's coming in patch 7.1.5, as well as spill all the nitty-gritty details of patch 7.2, which includes a Hearthstone-esque Brawl mode, a new raid, and class-specific mounts that are sure to have players crawling over one another to ride.

 

WORLD OF WARCRAFT: LEGION WILL TAKE PLAYERS TO A WHOLE OTHER PLANET
http://www.pcgamer.com/world-of-warcraft-legion-will-take-players-to-a-whole-other-planet/
If you thought the Broken Isles was going to be the epicenter of the fight against the Burning Legion in World of Warcraft's latest expansion pack, you might be wrong. At Blizzcon, game director Ion Hazzikostas took to the stage to answer the question of "what's next?" for the expansion. For the most part, that answer was new dungeons, raids, and features, but at the end of the presentation Hazzikostas dropped a rather large lore-bomb on the audience.

 

WOW: LEGION'S FIRST MINI-PATCH MAKES OLD DUNGEONS NEW AGAIN AND ADDS A FIGHT CLUB
http://www.pcgamer.com/wow-legions-first-mini-patch-makes-old-dungeons-new-again-and-adds-a-fight-club/
Legion, World of Warcraft's latest expansion, has almost been out for three months and Blizzard wants to make it pretty obvious there's plenty more to come. Patch 7.1 released only two weeks ago, but Game Director Ion Hazzikostas took to the stage at Blizzcon to detail what players can expect in the upcoming smaller patch 7.1.5 and to talk about Blizzard's overall philosophy with patches for Legion. Hazzikostas didn't set a date for the patch, but it will arrive on the beta servers next week, so players can most likely expect it to go live within a month or so.

Idk. Activision is weird... Maybe Xbox anywhere thing requires more effort or something.

Maybe it does require some extra work, but if CDProjekt RED can do it with a small game like GWENT, Activision sure can do it with a game of the size.

Intel's upcoming Kaby Lake chips have seen their prices leaked, at least for those that interest us the most:

Core i7-7700 4/8 3.6 GHz 8 MB 65W LGA1151 $309 US
Core i7-7700T 4/8 2.9 GHz 8 MB 35W LGA1151 TBC
Core i5-7600K 4/4 3.8 GHz 6 MB 91W LGA1151 $239 US
Core i5-7600 4/4 3.5 GHz 6 MB 65W LGA1151 $219 US
Core i5-7600T 4/4 2.8 GHz 6 MB 35W LGA1151 TBC
Core i5-7500 4/4 3.4 GHz 6 MB 65W LGA1151 $199 US

Pentium G3950 2/2 3.00 GHz 2 MB 35W LGA1151 TBC
Pentium G3930 2/2 2.90 GHz 2 MB 35W LGA1151 TBC

I don't get why people complain so much about Intel prices and this very common claim that they're charging a huge premium because of lack of competition.

Now all logic says that Intel does charge a premium simply because they can. But just looking at the prices, I just don't feel that so strongly.

$350 for the very best CPU on that list (I know they have options for $1200, bu they're only marginally bettert) and for only $250 you will get a really good one, nearly all the guys "in the know" will choose the $250 option and get a superb CPU really. And it has been like this for ten years now. $250 and you're set for three years or even more.

Expensive, Nvidia is expensive! All of a sudden we're talking about hardware parts that cost $500 and more, and last shorter. Now that's expensive.



Ok, i'm a bit upset. A friend of mine need the help for bios update on his MSI GTX 1070, i didn't believe him until he gave me a link. Oh well i'm off to visit him....
