And, with Xbox Launch coming this July 27th, Asobo has been working on several updates to optimize the game and streamline the installation process for users. Asobo Studio says the Xbox Version will have stable 30 fps, but does that mean the compromise in Quality?

An Among Us fan creates an insane, mechanical impostor that can walk around, stab things, and even has a crewmate mode with voice lines.

Although Among Us recently skyrocketed to popularity, many of its players likely remember little robots they could buy from their childhood. These would often be in the shape of a robot t-rex, a cat, or a dog, and they would walk around on their own with little voice lines. Well, YouTuber Electo certainly seems to have remembered those toys, as he has created a robotic Impostor that is capable of walking around, has voice lines, and can even stab things occasionally. It's truly an amazing feat, and players are super supportive of what Electo has managed to do.

For those that don't know, Electo frequently creates strange builds like this. Longtime viewers of his channel will likely remember things like his Flourbomb Creeper as a testament to his willingness to do some pretty crazy things. He's also been a fan of Among Us for a while, and his viewers knew that this has been in the works for quite some time now.

In principle, the build is actually very simple. The body of the Impostor itself was 3D printed in eight different parts, each of which were then assembled afterward. In order to allow it to walk, Electo used 3D printed treads, and the stabbing mechanism was installed in the body as well. After that, a little bit of coding and some electronics helped this Among Us character come to life. He is able to walk around on his own and will occasionally stab at objects or the air seemingly at random.

The original version that Electo made had a foam knife, but in the video, he does eventually affix a real knife to the machine. With this, it is able to cut through paper, pop a water balloon, and even stab a hole into an aluminum can. Electo also made provisions for a Crewmate mode. In this mode, rather than stab at things, the Crewmate simply runs around and crashes into things. He did give it some voice lines, however, including "I saw red vent, wait I'm red" and "Subscribe to Electo."

Electo's final addition to this masterpiece was to create a baby crewmate. In order to get it to follow the bigger one around, Electo attached remote control cars to serve as the feet that follow after a light. Putting the light onto the back of the Impostor should have worked to make the baby follow it around, but in the end, Electo had to come up with an ingenious solution instead.

Nvidia announces the release date and price for its new RTX 3070 Ti and RTX 3080 Ti graphics cards, leading many to hope they can buy one.

Many people have been trying to get their hands on an RTX 3000 series graphics card with many people being unsuccessful in their attempts. Today, Nvidia announced the release date and pricing for its RTX 3070 Ti and RTX 3080 Ti. Many people may hope that this will make it easier to get a new GPU.

In the middle of the current GPU shortage, news of Nvidia’s RTX 3070 Ti and RTX 3080 Ti should be something many gamers get excited about. Many gamers, however, may be curious about availability considering the current shortages. With release dates and pricing information, gamers can only hope that the release of these new Ti series cards will allow them to get their hands on a new RTX 3000 series GPU this year.

Nvidia’s RTX 3080 Ti will be available on June 3, 2021, with a retail price starting at $1199. Running on Nvidia’s latest Ampere architecture, Nvidia promises 1.5 times the performance over the previous generation’s RTX 2080 Ti. While the RTX 3080 Ti may look similar to its little brother, the RTX 3080, the RTX 3080 Ti offers more power.

Equipped with 12GB of GDDR6X VRAM, the RTX 3080 Ti offers an extra 2GB over the RTX 3080, but still less than the RTX 3090 and its 24GB. The power draw of the new RTX 3080 Ti will increase to match the RTX 3090 at 350W TDP. This increase in power may lead to concerns over the 3080 Ti’s cooling capabilities, but consumers will have to wait on thermal testing results when they become available.

Launching a week later, on June 10, 2021, Nvidia’s RTX 3070 Ti will hit the market and offer a more affordable RTX option at $599. With 8GB of GDDR6X VRAM, Nvidia states the RTX 3070 Ti will be 1.5 times faster than the RTX 2070 Super. Both the RTX 3070 Ti and the RTX 3080 Ti will support Nvidia’s ray-tracing, DLSS, and Reflex technologies.

This sounds like splendid news on the surface, but it's important to mention that there is still a global superconductor shortage driving up the prices of GPUs. This same shortage is the reason many people have been failing to get a new gaming computer, PS5, or Xbox Series X. Nvidia acknowledged this problem a few months ago, warning consumers that supply issues may continue throughout the rest of 2021.

PC gamers and content creators shouldn’t get too excited about Nvidia’s new GPU releases because the superconductor shortage is still a problem. This shortage mixed with other outside factors like scalpers will make it difficult to get a new RTX 3070Ti, RTX 3080Ti, or any of Nvidia’s other GPUs.

 It looks like another of Sony's biggest series is coming to PC.

In a presentation released for Sony's "Investor Relations" day today, Uncharted 4, previously a PlayStation 4 exclusive, appears on a slide under the heading "More PC releases planned." Also on the slide is Days Gone, which hit the PC just last week.

The slide, labeled "New Growth Vectors," shows PC releases as a way for Sony to increase the return on investment on existing first-party games and "create new fans for our IP."

Considering Sony's past statements that it plans to bring more games to PC, this one isn't a shock. But Sony seems to have leaked this particular planned PC port in its investor report ahead of an official announcement.

Sony is streaming a State of Play event tomorrow where the first Horizon Forbidden West gameplay will debut. It's possible the announcement will be made there, but that's just a guess.

It’s safe to say that CD Projekt Red’s action role-playing game Cyberpunk 2077 was one of the most highly anticipated releases of 2020, and multiple launch date delays only seemed to make the gaming public more eager for it. So when it finally came out, the game’s numerous bugs and performance issues seemed all the more egregious when weighed against fan expectations. Within 10 days of Cyberpunk 2077’s release, there was talk of a class-action lawsuit.

Shortly after launch, Sony announced that it would be removing the game from its online store for an unspecified amount of time and, six months later, Cyberpunk 2077 is still delisted from the site. Particularly on the PS4 and Xbox One, players experienced glitches that at times made the game unplayable, including incredibly slow rendering times, frame rate drops, texture bugs, and broken animations, to name a few.

Many people believe that CD Projekt Red knew about the issues, given that it limited day one reviews to the PC version, and released the game anyway. Multiple class-action lawsuits were filed in the ensuing months and four of them, all filed in the United States, were ultimately rolled into one massive case because many of the complaints in the separate suits pertained to the same issues. When questioned during a shareholder meeting on May 25, CDPR’s board member Piotr Nielubowicz revealed that the new consolidated lawsuit against CD Projekt Red is slated to be filed at the end of June.

A new lead plaintiff has been appointed for the class-action lawsuit and the court has selected a law firm to serve as the main representative for the claimants. “As of today, we are not aware of the value of a potential claim,” stated Nielubowicz through a translator. Some of the plaintiffs in at least two of the previously separate suits were CDPR shareholders, who claimed that the company caused financial harm to investors by misleading them about the quality of the console versions of Cyberpunk 2077. At one point amidst the controversy, Business Insider reported that CDPR’s stock value had dropped by 22 percent, a nine-month low.

Additionally, a representative of CDPR stated that Sony removing the game from the PlayStation Store impacted the game’s sales on other platforms, as the decision dissuaded players from buying the game at all. The company also took a financial hit as Sony, Microsoft, and CD Projekt Red began refunding purchases, resulting in an estimated $51.2 million loss in revenue.

That loss doesn’t mean that the company’s finances have ended up in the red, however. In April 2021, CD Projekt Red revealed that it saw record-breaking revenue in 2020, with the company bringing in an estimated $564 million in sales revenue and a net profit of roughly $303 million. This is nearly triple the company’s previous profit record from The Witcher 3.

Cyberpunk 2077 is available on PC, PS4, Stadia, and Xbox One, with PS5 and Xbox Series X versions also in development.

Euro Truck Simulator 2 and American Truck Simulator are both getting official multiplayer support, and the experimental open beta for both is available now. Multiplayer comes in the form of the Convoy mode, which lets eight players drive together in the same world: AI traffic, time, and weather are all synchronized, and all eight players can be on the same job.

Both games already have mods that add multiplayer, but it's good news to have the functionality built into the game—albeit in a way that, so far, isn't quite as flexible as some community-built features.

Because it's an experimental open beta there are currently limitations. Mods aren't supported in multiplayer yet, and everyone needs to share the same DLC as the host. There are more things to be aware of, explained in detail here, but rest assured that you've got the option to revert back to a previous save game state when you exit multiplayer.

Instructions on how to enter the 1.41 Update Experimental Beta are over here. No word as yet on when the update will roll out of beta, but in the meantime SCS is after your feedback.

 

Rockstar Games is yet to announce a sequel to the now-inseparable GTA 5 but there’re discussions going on about what GTA 6 could bring to the table. Rumors have been long afloat of Grand Theft Auto 6 going back to Vice City after almost two decades, although in a modern and up-to-date version of the same. A recent tip now hints at the size and enormity of the game’s map.

A new map has emerged on the Internet that claims to represent GTA 6’s Vice City. An earlier version of the map has been circulated with minimum details but the new one comes with scale and more details. When compared to Los Santos, the map is only slightly smaller but has almost similar features including two islands.

GTA 6 VICE CITY MAP LEAKS

The map showcases large areas of green patches with a river that divides the map into two landmasses. There seems to be a large delta-like feature in the center that could give rise to several boat chases and interesting missions. There also appears to be an island district with its own beach ahead of a posh urban setup. 

The map also has certain features such as airports, and military bases, thereby hinting at the presence of aircraft within the game. Of course, it remains to be seen as to whether GTA 6 brings back jet aircraft and fighter planes from GTA 5. The original GTA Vice City had no aircraft that players can interact with.

In a direct comparison with GTA 5’s Los Santos, the map appears slightly smaller. However, Rockstar Games has been known to work its wonders with maps and we expect the new Vice City to have opportunities to let players enjoy in the same fashion as GTA 5’s Los Santos.

A previous GTA 6 leak also hinted at the story’s protagonist bring a female character. GTA 5 offered a choice of three characters from the go, allowing players to choose between them randomly. The arrival of a female protagonist could shape up an exciting new era for the GTA franchise.

At the moment, Rockstar Games is minting profits from 2013’s GTA 5 and GTA Online. The game will be given a makeover for the current generation Xbox Series X and Sony PlayStation 5 consoles soon.

PUBG Mobile India latest update: This week was big for PUBG lovers out there. Krafton announced the coming of Battlegrounds Mobile India (previously PUBG Mobile India).

This week was big for PUBG lovers out there. The PUBG Mobile game developer Krafton announced the coming of Battlegrounds Mobile India (previously PUBG Mobile India). Krafton has also confirmed the pre-registration details for the game on Android. There are no details on pre-registration on iOS as of yet, however, we do expect the company to release more details about the game in the coming weeks.

Today, let’s take a quick look at what all Krafton has confirmed about Battlegrounds Mobile India so far.

Battlegrounds Mobile India: 5 confirmed details

-Krafton has confirmed that Battlegrounds Mobile India is coming to India very soon. The release date hasn’t been revealed yet. The official teaser video has also been released on YouTube and social media platforms. This means, there is no PUBG Mobile India coming up as teased by the company previously. The game, Krafton has confirmed, is developed especially for the Indian gamers out there.

-The pre-registration for Battlegrounds Mobile India will begin on the Google Play store on May 18 for Android users. There are no details on when the pre-registration for iPhone users will begin. It is likely that the game will be released for Android first followed by iOS in the days to come. Krafton also highlighted “there will be specific rewards available for fans to claim, only if they pre-register the game. These rewards would be specific to Indian players only.”

-Krafton has announced that privacy and data security will be the top priority for the company. The game developer confirmed that it will work with partners to ensure data protection and security, at each stage. “This will ensure privacy rights are respected, and all data collection and storage will be in full compliance with all applicable laws and regulations in India and for players here,” Krafton stated in an official release.

-The company has announced some restrictions for players under the age of 18 years. It has been said that under 18 years players will need to have to get consent from parents to play the game. As per the policy, players under 18 years of age will have to provide the mobile number of their parents to confirm that they are eligible to play the game.

-Krafton has announced to collaborate with partners to build an esports ecosystem while bringing in-game content regularly. The company said it will start with a series of India-specific in-game events at launch, to be announced later.

You read it right, we have a possibility that GTA 6 Might get announced at E3 2021 and Grand Theft Auto community is going crazy over this!

Some Grand Theft Auto fans think Rockstar Games is going to announce and reveal GTA 6 at E3 2021 based on a new tweet from the official E3 Twitter account. According to a plethora of rumors, reports, and leaks from both credible and non-credible sources, GTA 6 is currently in development at Rockstar, because of course, it is. Rockstar Games can and will continue to milk GTA 5, but naturally, the second best-selling game of all time will get a follow-up. The pertinent question has always been not if, but when GTA 6 will release.

According to the most credible sources to speak about the unannounced game, GTA 6 is still years away, which means a reveal is not imminent. However, despite the evidence suggesting a GTA 6 reveal is still a ways off, some Grand Theft Auto fans currently think a reveal/announcement is imminent due to the aforementioned tweet.

Over on Twitter, "GTA 6 News & Leaks" asked the official E3 Twitter account if fans can expect a GTA 6 announcement at E3 this June. Replying to this, the show's Twitter account replied with a GIF of Sitch from Lilo & Stitch getting his head patted. That's it.

GTA 6 announcement IMMINENT. #GTA6 pic.twitter.com/LRca6QtKpX

— GTA 6 NEWS & LEAKS (@NEWSLEAKSGTAS) May 13, 2021

For some, this is evidence that GTA 6 is going to be revealed at E3 2021, but obviously, this is a huge stretch. Not only does the reply not indicate this, but all of the aforementioned rumors and reports indicate the game is still -- at least -- a couple of years away from being revealed. That said, here are some more wrenches for the theory.

For one, Rockstar Games hasn't had a presence at E3 in years. Further, while GTA 5 did rear its head at E3 back in 2013, it was already announced.

Two, Rockstar Games is not going to reveal or talk about GTA 6 before it releases the "expanded and enhanced" version of GTA 5 for PS5 and Xbox Series X. If you want people to buy a "next-gen" version of GTA 5, you don't announce and reveal GTA 6 beforehand.

It's reasonable to expect the game to be revealed this year given that three years separated the release and reveal of GTA 5 and Red Dead Redemption 2. This October, it will be three years since the release of Red Dead Redemption 2. So, could GTA 6 be revealed this year? Sure, if history is any indication, it can be. However, don't expect it to be an indication this time, and especially don't expect the game to be revealed at E3 2021. There's as good of a chance that GTA 7 will be revealed at E3 as there is GTA 6 being revealed at the summer show.

A new and improved Nintendo Switch or Nintendo Switch Pro as it's unofficially called has a release date slated for the end of 2021. And what's more is, specifications will include an OLED display, Nvidia DLSS (short for Deep Learning Super Sampling) that uses AI to deliver high-quality visuals, as well as an improved CPU and more memory. All of these upgrades mean that the Nintendo Switch Pro price will be substantially more as well.

According to a report from Bloomberg, the Nintendo Switch Pro will support DLSS in order to "reproduce games at 4K quality when plugged into a TV" citing sources that asked not to be identified. In addition to this, there will be increased memory and an enhanced CPU. Though this also means that existing games will need to be updated to support these features claim multiple developers speaking to Bloomberg. DLSS has been exclusive to Nvidia GPUs since its launch in 2018, if accurate it would mean the next Nintendo Switch may have more in common with gaming PCs than usually expected from the company's hardware.

All of this will come at a cost, quite literally. According to analysts, the Nintendo Switch Pro will likely be available at $399 (around Rs. 29,000), a $100 increase on the existing Nintendo Switch.

"$349.99 will increase the value proposition of the device, but I still think Nintendo can drive strong demand even at $399.99," said Bloomberg Intelligence's Matthew Kanterman.

 "If your PS4 clock battery dies, all your games die."

If your PS4 clock battery dies, you will lose your ability to play games on it. Regardless of them being digital files or discs, your PS4 won’t be able to run them. This is according to trusted hacker Lance McDonald this is because trophies on the PS4 need the console’s internal clock to work correctly so as to prevent users to change the date and time values and exploit the PS4’s trophy system.

His tweet regarding this was in response to Does It Play — an account dedicated to video game preservation. The account stated that when “ the PS4 CMOS battery dies (and it will) it renders all PS4 digital files unusable without a server reconnection and in PS4 it also kills disc playback.”

Although it’s relatively easy to replace the CMOS when Sony decides to take down its PS4 servers reactivating your PS4 to play games still poses a massive challenge.

“CMOS can only have its time fixed by PSN or hacks,” says Does It Play to IGN India. “The fact it kills discs is lunacy.”

We’ve reached out to Sony for comment and will update this story if we hear from the company.

This error is because Trophies on PS4 require the internal system clock (the one you can’t see / alter) to be correct, so people cant change their PS4 date/time to make it look like they got trophies earlier than they really did. If your PS4 clock battery dies, all your games die https://t.co/8y9aZzL9vC

— Lance McDonald (@manfightdragon) March 23, 2021

These findings are crucial as they come at a time when Sony’s policies regarding video game preservation are under fire. They follow a report from TheGamer that stated the PS3, PSP, and PS Vita storefronts would be permanently shuttered. While this means that players on the three systems won’t be able to purchase new games, apps, or DLC on the PS Store, they will still be able to download content they had already purchased before.

All of this has the gaming community wondering what to expect from when Sony eventually shuts down the PS4’s digital dependencies. And if McDonald is correct, Sony’s decisions may result in over 100 million consoles serving as e-waste.

Previously IGN India reported that several PS4 variants were discontinued in markets like Japan. The console’s end-of-life status it seems, won’t impact India for now. Rather, it’s seen a price hike in India and ready availability in lieu of the PS5.

Resident Evil Village for the PS5 is rumored to weigh in at around 27.325GB at launch. According to the PlayStation Game Size Twitter account, the 27.325GB download size doesn't count Resident Evil Village's day one patch for Sony’s next-gen console. The Twitter account also mentions that the game will be available for pre-loading on May 5 for the PS5.

This is almost half the size of the Xbox version of Resident Evil Village, which was revealed to be around 50GB through a listing on the Microsoft Store. The differences could likely be chalked up to the game needing to reserve space for future updates and DLC, however.

Resident Evil Village has a demo available on the PS5, dubbed Maiden. The demo, while lacking any combat, is meant to give players a look at the kind of atmosphere and artwork they will experience in the full release of Resident Evil Village.

Season 2 of Call Of Duty: Warzone and Black Ops are in full action and with the ongoing events it's likely that the Verdansk map for the warzone may see some major changes in the coming weeks. Recent Rumors and leaks suggest that a new map is along the way with a new and fresh game mode for Call Of Duty: Warzone with nuke event release on  March 11, 2021.

According to a video packed with dialogue, lines are alleged to make it to the game in the near future from reputed Call of Duty leaker ZestyCODLeaks, we might see a new "Plague Mode" related to the nuke event. Their findings suggest that players would try to defeat hordes of zombies as a threat of nuclear bomb zeroes in on Verdansk.

Considering that zombies have already made their way to the Warzone map, this isn’t too far-fetched. More so when you consider every looming trope of nuking an entire city to stop the impending undead apocalypse (thanks Resident Evil). In addition to this, the dialogues reference a sandbox area, safe zones, vehicles, and obstacle races.

Activision is yet to make announcements regarding this topic of new game mode and nuke events. But, things do lineup and look promising as reports match with another source, ModernWarzone that claims that March 11, 2021, is the Call Of Duty: Warzone nuke's event release date.

As reports from Video Games Chronicles suggest, Warzone might get some major changes this season with the nuke event on the way with a new map.

Warzone map Verdansk will apparently blow up in an in-game event, similar to what Fornite did in chapter 2. Players have already uncovered several nukes across Verdansk, which are expected to be triggered at the end of this season. After the event, the game could introduce a new 1980s themed map based on the Black Ops series. As Activision hasn’t confirmed    d this event, it needs to be taken with a grain of salt.

It’s interesting to see Activision essentially take a page out of Fortnite what with Epic’s battle royale reinventing itself regularly. Considering the widespread appeal of the Warzone, it’s not necessarily a bad thing.

Xbox Director of Program Management Jason Ronald has made it clear in an interview that there are many unannounced games scheduled for release in 2021.

Speaking on Iron Lords Podcast episode about the Xbox Series X and S, Ronald was asked what game he was most looking forward to in the year ahead, to which he replied, "Not all games that are releasing this year have been announced."

While not specifically referencing Xbox Games Studios games, the remark has sparked speculation about whether Ronald is referring to games coming from Microsoft's owned studios – or even its soon-to-be owned studios, given its acquisition of Bethesda has taken major steps forward over the weekend. Ronald didn't elaborate on the point.

The 2021 Xbox lineup already has heavy hitters like Halo Infinite and Psychonauts 2 on the way but, clearly, Microsoft is planning to add more to the roster. Interestingly enough, Xbox Marketing boss Aaron Greenberg recently said at the start of the month that there was "nothing coming soon" with regards to major game announcement events, so perhaps don't expect these mystery games to be revealed in the extremely near future.

V1 interactive, A development studio based in Seattle, that developed titles like Disintegration officially shut down. It was announced on Twitter with a Tweet a while ago by the V1 Interactive studio. 

"We are sad to inform you that V1 Interactive is officially closing.

We want to thank all the talented people at V1, both past and present, who helped make the last 5 years wonderful.

And a heartfelt thanks to the amazing community that supported us."

The studio thanked its staff for their amazing work in the titles in the last five years. The CEO and founder of V1 Interactive tweeted separately in a Tweet about the announcement.

"At V1, our priority has been to the wellbeing of our employees.

We’ve been transparent with them about the state of things for months and are making this decision now so they still have ample time to search for new jobs while being supported by our studio."

V1 Interactive was founded by Lehto, the co-creator of the Halo franchise, with Disintegration as its only published title. The game was first envisioned as a real-time strategy title but was gradually shaped into an FPS ahead of its official announcement in July of 2019. It launched in June of last year, but our review of the game said that its simple shooting and squad management made its campaign "fall pretty flat." 

Support for multiplayer was shuttered three months after release, and publisher Take-Two (via its Private Division label) CEO Strauss Zelnick called Disintegration's sales "a bit disappointing."

This is the second Private Division studio to go under in recent years, with the development of Kerbal Space Program 2 being moved to a new, internal studio from independent external studio Star Theory in February of 2020, along with half of Star Theory's employees. Those remaining at Star Theory were eventually forced to shutter the studio due to an inability to secure new publishing contracts.
