For the next few days, GMG is offering a promo code that gets you an additional 10% off the games in its sale. The promo code to use at checkout is WEEKEND, and it drops the price on some games, including Resident Evil 3, to the lowest we've seen.Capcom's remake of Resident Evil 3 is down to $34.16 at Green Man Gaming, but the promo code drops your price to $30.77, which is the cheapest we've seen this game since it launched in April.

Dauntless, the free-to-play monster hunting action game by Pheonix Labs, is getting a new update today that revamps the game's hub city and one of its core weapons trees. The free update, Clear Skies, is out now on Xbox One, PS4, Nintendo Switch, and PC.Ramsgate, the social hub city at the center of the game, is being completely reworked in Dauntless' Clear Skies update. The update is mostly cosmetic; you'll hear new soundscapes around different areas of the city, while also offering new points of interest that you can interact with to further explore the lore of the Shattered Isles. Players can also challenge each other to a footrace mini-game across the city, as a small side distraction.For more effective hunting, the sword has been completely reworked to introduce three core facets to its mechanics. At the core is a new Valour system. Core combos will generate Valour, while more powerful Valour combos will spend what you've generated. Special attacks work outside of Valour, but will be tied to a separate special meter. Pheonix Labs hopes this will give swords more adaptability to attack ranges in use.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Star Renegades' calling card is its reactive turn-based combat, which encourages the strategic use of well-timed interrupts and counters to paralyze your opponents' defenses and overwhelm them with powerful combo attacks. It's a battle system that I love but don't often see in many games--there's a more approachable version in Child of Light and a tactical variation in Othercide, but that's all that I've experienced so far.Star Renegades' spin on the formula adds an interesting relationship-focused twist, both in terms of the friendships and connections between the characters in your party, as well as your squads' relationship to enemies they've fought before. Your squad can grow stronger through their deepening connection to each other, and just as easily, your squad's actions will have an impact on the makeup of the opposing army you face.In Star Renegades, you oversee the members of an elite squad that's a part of a rebellion against a technologically advanced alien army that's controlled by an AI only referred to as Mother. You can only commit to a certain number of actions before your squad has to rest for the day, and while camping out for the night, each character can do something for themselves or someone else--choosing to do the latter will deepen the relationship between the two characters. Squadmates can become close acquaintances before becoming friends and then eventually something more.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

The Hargreeves family just can't seem to catch a break. This season saw them thrown from one apocalyptic event right into another--this time back in the 1960s. If you're wondering exactly how they got there, you may want to check out our Season 1 refresher (don't worry, we only covered the absolute need-to-know points, like the time travel). Hopefully if you're here, however, you're already up to speed on the first season and, ideally, finished with Season 2, but left wondering what any of this means.We're going to try and make sense of that ending cliffhanger--but first, this ought to go without saying, but there are massive spoilers from all of Umbrella Academy from here on out. Proceed with caution, because unlike Five you won't have the ability to blink back in time to a point where you haven't spoiled the show for yourself.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Sometimes, video games help you to lose yourself in their worlds and stories, using the power of interactivity to bring you into the life of a character and to provide you with the opportunity to experience at least some version of their emotions. And sometimes, you get "Press F to Pay Respects."If you're somehow not familiar with a video game joke that became a pretty widespread meme, the "Press F" moment came about in Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare. Early in the story, tragedy strikes, and the protagonist character attends a friend's funeral. As the scene plays out, Advanced Warfare throws some interactivity your way to add some gravitas, prompting you to hit a button to enable your character to express their grief. If you're playing on PC, the default key for honoring the dead in this case is "F."It's not even Call of Duty's fault--lots of games have had very similar moments with very similar prompts, or have allowed you to do dumb video game things at the exact wrong times--but the instance in Advanced Warfare just feels particularly goofy, probably because it appears in such a high-profile game. Here you are at a digital funeral for a fictional character in what the game hopes is an emotional, poignant moment, but a passing attempt at adding some interactivity to the scene actually works to completely undermine it. "Press F to Pay Respects" does nothing but scream at you that you're playing a video game, and that the video game is ham-fistedly trying to get you involved in something so quintessentially human as mourning, and failing at it. It's a glaring reminder that a lot of AAA games just don't have a good idea of how to make it feel natural to interact with the world in a way that's not about killing stuff.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Chernobyl miniseries creator and The Last of Us show producer, Craig Mazin, said that the television adaptation of Naugty Dog's popular post-apocalyptic zombie franchise will "expand" on the series.Mazin talked about The Last of Us show on BBC Radia 5 Live's Chernobyl Special, in which he discussed the delicate balancing act he faces in adapting such a widely lauded game franchise to television. He assured fans during the conversation the show will "expand" instead of "undo" the source material."I think fans of something worry that, when the property gets licensed to someone else, those people don't really understand it, or are going to change it," Mazin said. "In this case, I'm doing [the series] with the guy who [created the game], and so the changes that we're making are designed to fill things out and expand, not to undo, but rather to enhance [the source material].Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

More details will be shared later! pic.twitter.com/9bIrppFiON — Halo (@Halo) July 31, 2020Halo Infinite's campaign was shown off during the Xbox event earlier in July, but 343 Industries has yet to show any footage of the game's multiplayer component or offered details beyond confirming that the multiplayer will be available at launch. Xbox boss Phil Spencer recently said that Halo Infinite's multiplayer was "special" and the team worked alongside professional Halo players to fine-tune the experience.In a recent blog post, 343 Industries developers said that Halo Infinite might not have a multiplayer beta due to the difficulties of working from home during the COVID-19 pandemic. In the same post, 343 Industries said that the team is going with a more 'classic' art style for the game, but the studio has heard the complaints that the game looks "flat, simplistic, and plastic-like," after the single-player demo was criticized for its visual fidelity. The studio also said that the game will not feature real-money loot boxes the way Halo 5: Guardians did, but the game is expected to have microtransactions in some form.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

QuakeCon is one of gaming's longest-running conventions, and while you might have to watch the festivities from home this year, you'll at least get something for your troubles.Starting August 7, if you have a Bethesda.net account and you watch QuakeCon, you'll get the PC version of Quake on the Bethesda launcher for free, according to reputable Twitter user Wario64. Additionally, if QuakeCon hits its first fundraising goal of $10,000--which seems fairly likely--you'll also receive a free copy of Quake II, the misleadingly-named sci-fi follow-up to Quake.QuakeCon was confirmed to be a digital-only event back in late June, and it runs from August 7 to 9. You can check the rest of the schedule on the event's website, which includes a Representation in Video Games panel, a Doom Eternal panel, a look at the upcoming Dishonored tabletop RPG, and, of course, the grand finals of the Quake World Championship. There will probably be game announcements too, perhaps related to upcoming Bethesda games like Ghostwire: Tokyo and Deathloop. Don't expect too many details on Starfield, though.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Obsidian Entertainment's new title, Grounded, will seem a lot like other survival games at first blush--even though it's Honey, I Shrunk The Kids-like setting puts it at a super-small scale compared to titles like Minecraft or The Forest. Like those games, you still need to drink water and eat food to stay alive, construct shelters to keep from getting overwhelmed by indigenous life, and craft equipment to help you keep alive and thrive in your new surroundings.Though Grounded has a lot in common with other games in the genre, its shrunken approach to the survival genre means it has quite a few of its own quirks. From how you'll uncover crafting recipes, to the creatures keen on eating you that live in the backyard, there are plenty of nuances to understand. Here's a quick rundown of 10 key tips that'll help you adjust to life in the lawn.1. Pick Up Everything And Analyze ItOne of the first things you'll come across when you start a game of Grounded is a strange little science facility called a Field Station. This is your first inkling that there's something bigger going on here than a weird dream. Inside every Field Station is an item called an Analyzer--something that's extremely useful.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com
