Horizon Zero Dawn for PC isn’t exactly an ideal port, but developers are working on it

 

If you were looking forward to the PC release of Horizon Zero Dawn, it might be wise to wait a bit with the purchase. The technical problems some players face are irritating.

A game where you hunt robosaurs and not ARK? Horizon Zero Dawn of course!

The long-awaited PC version of this previous PlayStation 4 exclusive received some negative comments after the first few days on the market, aimed at poor optimization. On Steam, the game currently has "Mixed" ratings, and a quick look at user reviews makes it clear that most say it's a good game, but a bad PC port.

Problems in the PC version are manifested by poor performance on quite good hardware, especially when entering and exiting the cutscene, but also by frequent crashes of the game on the computers of some players. Problems of this kind don’t affect everyone so while some enjoy the game with no problems, others can’t get a quiet framerate even on beastly machines with RTX 2080 Ti cards.

Studio Guerrilla Games confirmed that they are aware of the problem and said they are investigating all the reports that players send them. They did not say when we could see the next update that could solve such problems, but they said it was their "highest priority" at the moment.

Slayer returns even more vicious in the first expansion for Doom Eternal

 

Doom Slayer has made quite a mess in the rest of the Doom universe by saving Earth and now is the time to fix it the way he knows best.

The therapeutic experience called Doom Eternal soon becomes even greater. Namely, Bethesda announced the release of an expansion for Doom Eternal at this year's QuakeCon, full title Doom Eternal: The Ancient Gods Part One.

While saving the country from a demon invasion for Doom Slayer is another typical Wednesday, his bloodthirsty campaign did not go unnoticed. His meddling in the cosmic order forced the true ruler of the Doom universe to recruit him in hopes of repairing the damage he had done. This of course involves killing hordes of demons who have taken over the high-tech world of the angelic Maykr faction.

The teaser trailer shown doesn’t reveal much about the changes in the gameplay itself. Only a few new locations, enemies, but also a bunch of recognizable Doom violence are visible. The full revelation of the expansion awaits us at this year’s Gamescom, at the end of August.

Pure gameplay from the PlayStation 5 - Godfall doesn’t look very impressive

 Godfall is one of the first games announced for the PlayStation 5, but this looter-slasher title won’t overly impress you with its graphics, as this new video also vividly illustrates.


Godfall is coming out later this year for the PlayStation 5 and PC, and publisher Gearbox recently released an above gameplay video to explain to us how the fight in this looter-slasher title will work. Of course, when it comes to games with the “next-gen” label, everyone is only interested in the visual presentation, but Godfall could disappoint you in that regard. It certainly doesn’t look bad, but it doesn’t look like a generational leap in graphics either.

Still, the game as a game has some potential for fans of the genre, with lots of loots to collect, various movesets to master and epic boss fights that we will perform alone or in co-op to earn that valuable loot. If you’ve played games like Destiny and Division you know roughly what you can expect from Godfall as well, only here the focus is on melee fighting instead of shooting.

It should be mentioned that people are not very enthusiastic about the video above - it gathered only 90,000 views in two days, and has 625 dislikes and 950 likes. However, it should be borne in mind that the video does not show the final version of the game and that the whole thing should look a bit better after the release.

UPDATE: The video was also released on the official PlayStation channel where it has much more positive numbers - 750,000 views in two days, 22,000 likes and 3,800 dislikes.

A teaser for the new Call of Duty game popped up in the middle of a Warzone match

 Activision has started with the slow unveiling of the new Call of Duty, which should take place during the Cold War, and the latest indicator of this topic was noticed in the middle of a Warzone match.

Although the grand unveiling of the new Call of Duty is expected on Monday, Activision is already throwing teasers around. One appeared inside Call of Duty: Warzone, and was caught and posted on Twitter by a player with the nickname NutterButterAF.

When Warzone was playing this Friday, NutterButterAF noticed in the middle of the match that the screen was behaving strangely. Some interference appeared in the middle of the screen along with a very briefly visible message. Fortunately, he recorded the whole thing, so by slowing down the recording, the message "Know Your History" can be clearly read. After that, the words "obrečenyna ee povtorenie" were noticed, which is an inscription in Russian which means "Doomed to repeat". It is obvious that Activision is trying to connect these teasers with the time of the new Call of Duty, which should deal with the topic of the Cold War, and at the center of which was, of course, Russia, ie the Soviet Union.

If you haven't followed, the new Call of Duty should be called Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, and in our experience and some logic it should be promoted as the first "next-gen" Call of Duty title as it should come out for new consoles arriving later this year, as well as for the current ones. We should hear and see more about all of this on Monday.

The creators of the Batman Arkham games are working on a Suicide Squad game

 The British studio behind the Batman Arkham Games has confirmed that it is working on developing a new game in the DC universe, the details of which we will find out at the end of August.

In recent months, it has been rumored that the creators of the Batman Arkham trilogy are working on a new game from the DC world. Now they have officially announced themselves on the issue and announced that they are doing a Suicide Squad game.

Rocksteady Studios posted a picture of Superman on its Twitter profile with a Suicide Squad logo on its head. We will experience the first real look at the game on August 22 at the DC Fandome event, and it is expected that it will be a full-blooded next-gen game, and accordingly it is expected to arrive on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X and PC.

Earlier this year, in the sixth month to be precise, the domain SuicideSquadKillTheJusticeLeague appeared on the internet and many began to believe that it could be the title of the upcoming Suicide Squad game. Rocksteady’s brief teasing on Twitter, giving the impression that Superman will be in danger, certainly goes in his favor. But of course, for a little more detail we will have to wait another two weeks.

We will see the first "next-gen" Call of Duty next Monday

 Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War should be officially unveiled as early as this Monday if the mysterious padlock boxes that some media outlets are to be believed.

It seems that Activision is finally ready to introduce us to the new Call of Duty, which we have already learned should be called Call of Duty Black Ops Cold War. It should be the first "next-gen" Call of Duty game since it would only be logical that in addition to the current platform, it will also be released on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X.

As we wrote the day before yesterday, fresh details about the new CoD game should be seen in some way through the current Call of Duty: Warzone, but until now we didn’t know when that big announcement could happen.

The mystery has now been seemingly solved because some media outlets have been given special press kit boxes with the message “don’t open until August 10 at 6 p.m.”. This should of course indicate the date and time of the discovery of the new game.

The beautiful new Apex Legends trailer reveals crafting system and a new legend are coming into play

 The trailer for Apex Legends Season 6 is out, it looks wonderful and tells us about the changes that will befall the game from the 18th of this month.


Even if you don’t play the game the trailers for Apex Legends are so finely animated that everyone should watch them. And if you look at this latest trailer and even better - read the official blog post, you will see that with season 6 comes into play a crafting system, a new weapon called the Volt and a new legend called the Rampart. For now, there are not too many details about the new legend, but they say that it is "expert blue", which probably has something to do with the mentioned crafting system.

The trailer also suggests that there will be some changes to the map as well, as a huge rocket is visible breaking through the clouds in the opening shots.

Season 6 arrives in Apex Legends on the 18th of this month.
