Persona 5 and Zelda emulation, within the same year and rapidly progressing in terms of performance.

Sometimes I wonder why I bother making the news...

Anyway, while I think about it, I'm doing a bit of a revamp to make these news posts easier to me. From now on, I'll keep the different sections every day, and if there are no news about of a certain section, I'll simply leave it empty.

http://www.pcgamer.com/get-up-to-75-percent-off-top-strategy-games-in-humble-stores-strategy-week/
Determining the best strategy games on PC is no easy feat, but it's hard to argue with sales that offer up to 75 percent off some of the genre's best. Humble Store's Strategy Week does just that and is live now through the rest of this week.

>>There's also another sale, for the British Academy Game Awards.

http://www.pcgamer.com/htc-unveils-viveport-monthly-subscription-service/
The HTC Vive virtual reality headset marks its first year anniversary this week, on April 5, and is set to mark the occasion by launching the "first-ever subscription model for a VR app store"—named Viveport Subscription.

Valve is revamping the way Steam recommends games
http://www.pcgamer.com/valve-is-revamping-the-way-steam-recommends-games/
Major changes are on the way to Steam that will, in theory at least, dramatically improve the quality of the discovery queue and the utility of the curation system. Based on a post-Valve-visit report by YouTube guy TotalBiscuit, the goal is to use a combination of data and more focused and effective curation to ensure that users only see games they'll be legitimately interested in, while effectively killing off bad games "by making them invisible."

Despite the Denuvo anti-tamper tech, Mass Effect: Andromeda has been cracked in 10 days
http://www.dsogaming.com/news/despite-the-denuvo-anti-tamper-tech-mass-effect-andromeda-has-been-cracked-in-10-days/
Mass Effect: Andromeda was released on March 23rd and was powered by the Denuvo anti-tamper tech. Denuvo is being used by a lot of publishers lately to protect their games, however it appears that EA’s latest title has already been cracked.

Part two of the news:

Impact Winter, the asteroid strike survival game, has been delayed
http://www.pcgamer.com/impact-winter-the-asteroid-strike-survival-game-has-been-delayed/
Impact Winter follows the struggle of five people to survive in the wake of a massive asteroid strike that leaves the planet enshrouded in endless winter. All seems lost, until a mysterious radio transmission promises, "In 30 days, help is coming." There's no way to tell from where: All you can do is hold out until it arrives. It (the game, not the rescue) had been scheduled for release on April 12, but developer Mojo Bones announced today that it has pushed the launch back to May 23.

Peter Molyneux is working on something new but doesn't want to talk about it yet
http://www.pcgamer.com/peter-molyneux-is-working-on-something-new-but-he-doesnt-want-to-talk-about-it/
Peter Molyneux is described as a "legendary game maker" in a recent interview with Glixel, and to a point it's true. But in more recent years, he's acquired a reputation as a guy who promises too much and delivers too little, epitomized by Curiosity, a game which promised (and failed) to deliver a life-changing experience for the winner, and the Godus debacle that followed in its wake. As you can imagine, his fan base is not quite as wide as it was 15 years ago.

Payroll unpacks its Windows 95-inspired belongings on Steam
http://www.pcgamer.com/payroll-unpacks-its-windows-95-inspired-belongings-on-steam/
"We make games that look and feel like they could've been popular decades ago," reads the landing page of indie developer Astrojone's website. This raison d'etre perfectly applies to Payroll—an office simulation game that surfaced on itch.io in late 2015.

Overwatch cheat maker ordered to pay $8.6 million in damages to Blizzard
http://www.pcgamer.com/overwatch-cheat-maker-ordered-to-pay-86-million-in-damages-to-blizzard/
Last summer, Blizzard filed a lawsuit against German cheat programme maker Bossland for "copyright infringement, unfair competition and violation of the DMCA's anti-circumvention provision". Last month, we learned that the Overwatch developer was seeking upwards of $8.5 million (around £6.83 million) in damages, despite Bossland's resistance, and now it appears a California court has ordered the latter to pay $8.6 million.

Prey 'Hardware' trailer pores over the tools you'll employ on Talos 1
http://www.pcgamer.com/prey-hardware-trailer-pores-over-the-tools-youll-employ-on-talos-1/
Much similar to its recent 'Playing with Powers', 'Weapons and Powers', and 'Neuromod Research' trailers, Prey's latest trailer focuses on the hardware protagonist Morgan Yu will rely on to survive the Typhon-overrun Talos 1 space station.

GTA 5 physics bug prevents cars from turning left
http://www.pcgamer.com/gta-5-physics-bug-prevents-cars-from-turning-left/
As outlined by Rockstar last month, GTA 5's online component, GTA Online, introduced the Infernus Classic to its faux Los Angeles bounds last week—the first time the sports car has been seen in this form since 2001's Grand Theft Auto 3 and its loosely-tied 2005 follow-up Liberty City Stories. Since its GTA Online debut, however, it appears this car has one critical flaw: it can't turn left without spinning out.

Minor price differences between versions of Lego City Undercover. I wouldn't be surprised if the PC version also has the best loading times. ;)

So there is still no official patch for Nier? I hoped they would've at least released something by now.

I don't see Platinum going back and fixing their mess.

I bought the PC version of LEGO City Undercover and tested the loading times running from my HDD. My SSD is an old model which doesn't have big speed improvements in games.

The Switch + Wii U loading times are from this article: http://nintendowire.com/news/2017/04/03/lego-city-undercover-switch-wii-u-load-times-compared/

Title Screen to Opening Cutscene:

• PC HDD – 0:18.5
• Switch – 0:51:07
• Wii U – 1:04:21

Open World to Police Station Interior:

• PC HDD – 0:17.7 (not much faster than Switch or Wii U, but it loads all floors of the building)
• Switch – 0:21:12
• Wii U – 0:26:25

Changing Police Station Floors via Elevator

• PC HDD – instantly, no loading times
• Switch – 0:06:00
• Wii U – 0:15:12

Going from Police Station to Open World

• PC HDD – 0:18.1
• Switch – 0:51:18
• Wii U – 1:08:12

He means one minute XD

The loading times of that game are ridiculous.

Also, lol @Basil.

And here are the Switch digital load times:
