Make sure you have a strong enough PC for Marvel’s Avengers

 

Take a look at the official minimum and recommended configuration for Marvel’s Avengers as you prepare for the open bet soon to arrive on PC and all consoles.

Marvel’s Avengers comes out in September, but as early as this month, beta testing began, first on the PlayStation 4 for those who pre-ordered the game, and soon for everyone on the PC and Xbox One.

So if you plan to take part in an open beta test on a PC, it would be wise to first check if your computer can run the game at all.

The official minimum and recommended PC configurations for Marvel’s Avengers have just been released and the news is good - by this it seems that the game is not too demanding, and we already know that it looks very nice.

We transfer the minimum and recommended configuration below.

Configuration for the common man:

• OS: Windows 10 64-bit
• CPU: i3-4160 or AMD equivalent
• 8GB RAM
• NVIDIA GTX 950 / AMD 270 (min 2GB video frame)
• DirectX 12
• 75GB HDD space

Superhero conf:

• OS: Windows 10 64-bit
• CPU: Intel Core i7 4770K, 3.4 Ghz or AMD Ryzen 51600, 3.2 Ghz
• 16GB RAM
• NVIDIA GTX 1060 6GB or AMD Radeon RX 480, 8GB.
• DirectX 12
• 110GB SSD space

Otherwise, the PC version comes with an optional and 30GB heavy high-resolution texture pack, and will support ultra-wide resolutions and multi-monitor sets with support for playing at 144Hz if your computer can handle it.

When can I participate in the beta?

The first wave of beta testing took place last weekend and only for those who pre-ordered the game for PlayStation 4. The second wave will take place this weekend and will be open to all PlayStation 4 users, and for those who pre-ordered the game on PC and Xbox One console. The third wave will be open to all and will take place from August 21st to 23rd, and the pre-load for that version starts on August 20th.

The full game comes out on 4.09. for PC, PS4 and Xbox One, but after the release of the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X consoles the game should appear on them as well.

Forza Horizon 3 will no longer be available for purchase

Microsoft has announced the end of its lifespan for the Forza Motorsport 3, which goes out of sale next month.

The Forza Horizon 4 will live on for a few more years and will be specially optimized for the new Xbox Series X console. However, its predecessor will not be that lucky. The Australian chapter of Forza actually goes to the eternal hunting grounds… in part. Namely, it was announced that the 2016 Forza Horizon 3 will be removed from sale on PC and Xbox from September 27 this year. That includes everything extra for that game.

The reason for this move probably lies in the expiration of car and music licenses. Fortunately, none of this will harm existing game owners and those who manage to buy it by September 27. If the game is tied to your account, you will be able to continue playing it and download it again as if nothing had happened. Moreover, its online component will function properly until further notice. "End of life" in this case just means the end of the sales cycle.

A 70% discount has been prepared for this occasion, which will last until September 27. The ultimate edition of the game, with all DLC extensions, can be purchased for $ 21. The standard edition without DLC sells for just $ 9.89.

The Xbox Series X is coming in November, but without the big Halo Infinite exclusive

Development studio 343 Industries, however, will not complete Microsoft's big Halo Infinite exclusive within the promised deadline. The game has been postponed to 2021.

Microsoft and Sony still plan to launch new consoles for the 2020 holiday season, although it is questionable whether the COVID-19 virus will make it difficult to distribute and sell them. Microsoft has once again confirmed that we can expect the Xbox Series X in November 2020, which is again not a precise term, but hey - mic by mic, that will come. We will be happy if they announce the price of the console before it goes on sale.

In general, as a potential release day, Friday, November 6 is the best. It is possible that the console will be released on "Friday the 13th", the weekend before the release of hit games such as Cyberpunk 2077 and Assassin’s Creed Valhalla. The least chances are that the console will be launched on November 27, when the so-called Black Friday, because that would cause confusion.

Unfortunately, on the date that the Xbox Series X hits the market, it has been confirmed that Microsoft's new console will not have its biggest exclusive on the first day - Halo Infinite. That game has been postponed to 2021. From Microsoft's promise that the Xbox Series X will be the first Xbox console after the original Xbox to launch with the new Halo game, we've come to the conclusion that the Xbox Series X will be the first Xbox console not to be launched with any Microsoft-produced game.

The reasons for the delay are the challenges in production caused by the consequences of the pandemic. However, the delay had hung in the air before. It was known that the game changed the creative director in the middle of development, and then last month - while we were still assured that the game was coming in the fall - Halo Infinite left fans indifferent with its mediocre graphic side.

The 343 Industries development team has promised to make the game better, but they obviously need time to do so. How much exactly - is not known, because in the postponement they do not mention when they will deliver Halo Infinite in 2021.

Sam Fisher is a new operative at Rainbow Six Siege

 

Previous rumors have proved true - the famous character from Splinter Cell will join the Rainbow team in the upcoming season of the famous Ubisoft multiplayer shooter.

Ubisoft has just released a short review of the new operative for the upcoming season of Rainbow Six Siege. It was rumored before, and now it has been confirmed - Sam Fisher will help the Rainbow team fight the enemy. The full title of the next season of the aforementioned Ubisoft title will be Operation Shadow Legacy.

In the short trailer we can see Sam holding a device in his hand that fires cameras at the wall. In addition to serving as devices for watching who is moving where, they will also be able to shoot - as the Maestro does with his cameras. Fisher himself will fight on the attacker’s side and will be the only operative to arrive at Shadow Legacy. It has long been known that in the coming seasons of Rainbow Six Siege, one operative will come out because the development studio wants to focus more on gameplay changes.

A full screening of the upcoming season awaits us on August 16 at the finals of the American League. Then we should get a concrete view of the new striker and some more details about the season itself.

Dirt 5 has been delayed, but everything is fine

 

Dirt 5 has just experienced a small delay, but no worries - it will be only a week late from the previously set date.

Dirt 5 was supposed to come out in October, but was delayed a bit. And when I say a little - I really mean a little.

Codemasters has announced that Dirt 5 will come out a week later than originally communicated. The new release date is October 16, and the game will then be released in PC, PS4 and Xbox One versions.

Dirt 5 will be another cross-gen game which means that after the release of the new consoles, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X / S, it will be released in versions for them.

Here’s one gameplay video to get you a feel for the graphics and mods you can expect in the game.

No worries, this in the video isn’t all Dirt 5 will offer. You can expect 12 different car classes and career mods with five chapters and over 130 events.

The game will also support split-screen gaming for up to four players, this is not seen every day!

Excited about the new Dirt? Not really? Report in the comments.

The Last of Us Part 2 soon becomes much more difficult

 

Did you miss the challenge in The Last of Us Part 2 even the highest weight setting? No worries, the Permadeath option is coming soon and the Grounded difficulty level is already known to us from the unit.

If The Last of Us Part 2 was too easy for you even the highest weight setting, we have good news. The updated list of trophies for this game has just confirmed to us that the so-called Grounded difficulty level as well as Permadeath game mode.

Grounded was the name for the hardest difficulty level in the first The Last of Us game. Playing on Grounded you didn’t have Listen mode, the enemies did more damage, there was significantly less stock to pick up and you didn’t have HUD. The Last of Us Part 2 already has the option of such a weight adjustment so it remains questionable what Grounded will actually look like in Part 2.

Of course, Permadeath means you only get one life for the duration of the entire game. Those who want a special challenge could turn on the Grounded difficulty level with the Permadeath option, and those who only hunt trophies could choose the easiest weight level and Permadeath as a spice. However, these are two separate trophies, so it seems that Permadeath can be included at whatever level of difficulty you decide to play.

It is not yet known when the update that brings this news to the game will actually arrive.

Cyberpunk 2077: a bunch of new details with two hot new videos

 

We got fresh new details about Cyberpunk 2077, including life path mechanics and new details about weapons. All with beautiful new gameplay footage.

Cyberpunk 2077 is slowly approaching its release date in November, and CD Project RED continues to raise dust by revealing new details. He just finished a live stream called Night City Wire: Episode 2, during which they revealed new details about weapons and the so-called life paths, or the life direction that your character in the game can go. There will be three different life paths in the game, and the same will set the starting point for your character’s story, but also affect how your Night City adventure will unfold later.

Life pats are actually a background story, a kind of foundation for your character, and the CD Project RED says that choosing a life pat will be more than just the beginning of the game. Their focus is to make a “true RPG” with Cyberpunk 2077, so the choice of life patch for your character will affect various things later in the game, such as dialog options to choose from and routes to progress through certain missions. See an example of what this will look like in practice in the video below, dedicated to life paths.

And while those ways that life means will throw RPG fans into delirium, those who are more excited about Cyberpunk for shooting around Night City will be happier with the other video they released today. The focus in it are the weapons, which of course have extremely cool names - the discount Tsunami Nekomata semi-automatic sniper and Carnage shotgun that suspiciously quickly turns a perfectly good van into a fire element. See them in action behind the play button below these words.

You can watch the complete Night City Wire video below, and let us know in the comments how Cyberpunk 2077 looks to you now.

Bethesda is still working on official support for Fallout 76 mods

 

Bethesda is not giving up on Fallout 76 and plans to reward the loyalty of the few players soon with the long-promised official support for mods.

Despite a disastrous launch, Fallout 76 is a relatively good game today. This is confirmed by the reviews of players on Steam, which are "mostly positive". Although it has only between 10 and 30 thousand active players, Bethesda does not give up its intention to make the game more meaningful and thus bring it to the originally promised level.

The first step in that intent was a free Wastelanders update that brought liveliness to the game in the form of NPC characters. The next step is official support for mods that largely represent a lifeline for Bethesda’s games such as Fallout and The Elder Scrolls. In this sense, Bethesda assures that they are working diligently on the above, but that their implementation is hampered by the game's client-server architecture and its online nature.

Although in Fallout 76 mods have existed since the game's release, for now they can only be found on various sites such as Nexus Mods. Official support would mean their easier integration into the game itself, their arrival at Steam Workshop, and maybe some new tools to make them.
