Six Days In Fallujah Publisher Says Game Isn’t “Political Commentary”
The once-dead, now-revived tactical first-person shooter Six Days in Fallujah has been embroiled in controversy since its inception for depicting a deadly battle during the Iraq War. Now, Publisher Victura is again defending its embattled title, saying developer Highwire Games is "not trying to make a political commentary" about the conflict. In an interview with Polygon , Victura head Peter Tamte said that the purpose of Six Days in Fallujah is to highlight "the complexity of urban combat" by putting players in the shoes of real-life Marine soldiers who must contend with the decisions made by people in power. "For us as a team, it is really about helping players understand the complexity of urban combat," Tamte said. "It's about the experiences of that individual that is now there because of political decisions. And we do want to show how choices that are made by policymakers affect the choices that [a Marine] needs to make on the battlefield. Just as that [Marine] cannot … [Read more...] about Six Days In Fallujah Publisher Says Game Isn’t “Political Commentary”
Animal Crossing: New Horizons balloon-popping trick will save you a slingshot
An Animal Crossing: New Horizons balloon-popping trick could save you a ton of frustration in case you left your slingshot back home. When you don’t have a slingshot... from r/AnimalCrossing Reddit user ItzStarr86 demonstrated the trick in a quick Reddit video: it starts in typical fashion, with a balloon drifting overhead and an excited Island Representative quickly realizing they don't have their slingshot on them. Instead of sinking into despair and cursing the heavens, which is my usual strategy, they proceed to enable their Cliff Construction Permit, create a block of earth adjacent to the balloon's path, then climb on top with their ladder. Then, with one well-timed swing of their bug net, the balloon is popped and the present is saved. Granted, this strategy is no less reliant on having the right stuff in your inventory, since you need a ladder to get up there and a net to do the balloon popping (not to mention having Terraforming and cliffscaping unlocked). But … [Read more...] about Animal Crossing: New Horizons balloon-popping trick will save you a slingshot
Genshin Impact 1.4 Update Will Introduce New Character And Events
Genshin Impact's wintry Lantern Rite event has come to a close, and that means that the game's development team is about to roll out their next event as part of the game's upcoming 1.4 update. According to a post at the PlayStation Blog , the March 17 patch will add a new character to the game, and also introduce a spring-themed event in Mondstadt known as the Windblume Festival. The Windblume Festival is described as a "cultural celebration of romance and passion," perhaps similar to the real-world holiday of Valentine's Day. Players can choose to spend time with the characters Barbara, Noelle, Bennett, and Chongyun, with each character having their own scenes and endings. The event will also bring new minigames to Genshin Impact, including the archery-themed Bullseye Balloons, the gliding challenge Floral Freefall, and the bardic test Ballads of Breeze. Each minigame will support co-op play, and players will receive Festive Tour Tickets depending on their performance in each … [Read more...] about Genshin Impact 1.4 Update Will Introduce New Character And Events
AMD Could Be Preparing Its Own Mining-Focused GPUs Too
AMD could be following in Nvidia's footsteps with the launch of its own cryptocurrency mining GPUs, according to patch notes for a Linux kernel drive. The patch notes (via PCGamesN ) mention a new GPU without any video outputs, a telling sign of hardware that is designed for large crypto mining farms. Curiously, the notes point towards an older RDNA 1, Navi 12 GPU, which indicates that AMD might be repurposing old hardware instead of using existing RDNA 2 resources for the new product line. This would be different to Nvidia's approach, with the company recently revealing its CMP GPU range . These cards are purpose-built for mining, with no video outputs and more efficient power delivery and cooling without all the gaming bits that go to waste with a GeForce card. Of course, this means that Nvidia is stretching the already thin supply of silicon it has for three new products, meaning new gaming GPU releases will likely still be big targets for miners. Nvidia attempted to … [Read more...] about AMD Could Be Preparing Its Own Mining-Focused GPUs Too
