AMD Updates Drivers To Support New RX 580 And RX 570 Video Cards

By Anonymous on Apr 19, 2017 12:00 am

Alongside the launch of the RX 580 and RX 570 video cards, AMD released a new version its Radeon Crimson ReLive software suite. The highlights of edition 17.4.3 are simply driver support for both cards and functionality for the Windows 10 Creators Update.

The previous 17.4.2 driver addressed several issues, such as better multi-GPU performance in Battlefield 1 and improved support for SteamVR asynchronous reprojection. It was also the first driver to support Windows 10 Creators Update features like Game Mode, built-in streaming from Beam, and high dynamic range (HDR) in applications.

The following are the current known issues with the Crimson ReLive 17.4.3 software, as stated in the release notes:

Known Issues

  • Radeon WattMan may fail to apply settings on some Radeon R9 390 series graphics products.
  • Radeon Settings may crash on switching Windows user after toggling AMD CrossFire technology mode.
  • A small amount of apps may still experience issues with Borderless Fullscreen mode and AMD FreeSync technology if other applications or game launchers are running on the primary screen in the background.
  • Counter-Strike: Global Offensive and World of Warcraft may experience flickering or performance issues the first time the game is launched on a system boot with AMD FreeSync technology enabled. Workarounds include exiting and restarting the application or task switching (alt+tab) in and out of the game to fix the issue.

Known Issues for Radeon ReLive

  • The Xbox DVR application may cause conflicts with Radeon ReLive, users are suggested to disable Xbox DVR if Radeon ReLive is experiencing issues.
  • Radeon ReLive may fail to install on AMD APU Family products or experience a system hang or failure to record when using the recording feature on AMD APU Family products.
  • Radeon ReLive may intermittently fail to work after performing task switches of applications. A work around is to disable and then enable the feature in Radeon Software.
  • Radeon ReLive may exhibit corruption in recordings when capturing Microsoft Office applications.
  • Radeon ReLive may experience recording or streaming issues when task switching using ALT+TAB.

Watch Kingsman 2's First Teaser Trailer

By Anonymous on Apr 18, 2017 11:44 pm

The first teaser trailer for the sequel to Kingsman has arrived, and there's a lot packed into a few short seconds.

If you're looking for a firm understanding of what Kingsman: The Golden Circle's story is all about, you'll walk away disappointed. The meat of the trailer lasts only about five seconds but is jam-packed with blink-and-you'll-miss-it glimpses of what seems like it could be every scene in the movie.

We recently got our first look at many of the film's characters, and this trailer provides another (extremely brief) peek at many of the new additions to the cast. This includes Jeff Bridges, Julianne Moore, Channing Tatum, and Halle Berry, with star Taron Egerton also featured prominently.

Who we don't see is Colin Firth's Harry Hart, who was recently confirmed to make a return after earlier teases. At least Mr. Pickles makes an appearance.

Like the first film, The Golden Circle is directed by Matthew Vaughn. It's slated for release on September 29, 2017.

It's A Big Day For Remastered Game Releases

By Anonymous on Apr 18, 2017 11:15 pm

Remakes and remasters are hardly a new trend, but it seems uncommon that we get four of them on a single day.

Today sees the release of Voodoo Vince Remastered, Full Throttle Remastered, Wonder Boy: The Dragon's Trap, and Disney Afternoon Collection. The latter consists of six different games: Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers and its sequel, Darkwing Duck, DuckTales and its sequel, and TaleSpin.

As noted in a tweet from Frank Cifaldi, who now heads up the Video Game History Foundation, it's interesting to see how each of the four handles its source material's graphics differently. These range from the Disney approach of preserving the original look to Wonderboy's completely new artwork (though you're free to switch between the new and old look, as is also the case with Full Throttle).

Cifaldi, who worked on Disney Afternoon Collection, also shared some background on its development in subsequent tweets. He explains the process of including certain box and manual art, and he highlights some additions, like new music that plays on each game's Options screen.

Here's the availability for all four games:

  • The Disney Afternoon Collection (PC, PS4, Xbox One) -- $20
  • Full Throttle Remastered (PC, PS4, Vita) -- $15
  • Voodoo Vince Remastered (PC, Xbox One) -- $15
  • Wonder Boy: The Dragon's Trap (PS4, Xbox One, Switch; PC coming this summer) -- $20

Titanfall 2's Next Free DLC Expansion Revealed, Here's What's Included And When It Launches

By Anonymous on Apr 18, 2017 10:27 pm

Publisher EA and developer Respawn have revealed Titanfall 2's next expansion. It's titled A Glitch in the Frontier, and it's coming on April 25.

The DLC--which is free to all players--includes two maps, a faction, another game mode, and more. Take a look at the trailer above for a glimpse at the new content.

The first new map is called Glitch, which EA describes as "a medium-sized map … inspired by Captain Lastimosa's home planet of Harmony." A second arena, named Deck, is specifically for the Live Fire game mode, which was introduced as part of last month's free update.

Also included in the update is a new faction, MRVN, plus a new game mode called Marked for Death. The MRVN could be connected to the in-game MARVIN automated assistants--usually seen as passive, unarmed NPCs--while Marked for Death returns from the first game in the series. Additionally, Pilots can now Regenerate (Titanfall's equivalent of Call of Duty's Prestige mechanic) up to Gen level 100.

Lastly, the main menu sees some cosmetic changes, there's a new Get to the Point execution, and you can now play Live Fire in Private Matches.

Today's reveal comes just hours after EA outlined its plans for Titanfall 2's next three months of updates. Coming soon is a new Titan, more executions, and more paid add-ons in the form of Prime Titans and cosmetic upgrades.

No Caption Provided

In addition to all of this, Respawn confirmed that it has plans for more Titanfall 2 free trials; the most recent free trial weekend was held in March.

In March, Respawn said Titanfall 2, which failed to meet EA's sales targets, is "healthy and growing." It remains to be seen if Respawn will make a third entry in the series.

Outside of the Titanfall franchise, Respawn is working on a third-person Star Wars action game that's being directed by God of War veteran Stig Asmussen.

Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 2 Has Five Post-Credit Scenes

By Anonymous on Apr 18, 2017 09:30 pm

Post-credit sequences are an expected part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, often hinting at characters and storylines from the studio's future releases. Now Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 director James Gunn has revealed that the upcoming space adventure will feature no fewer than five such scenes.

Gunn confirmed the post-credit scene tally on Twitter, where he frequently engages with writers and answers questions from fans. In response to Screen Rant's assertion that the film had four scenes after the credits, Gunn stepped in to correct them:

The director provided no further details about what these scenes would contain, but the movie is out in less than a month, so we'll find out soon.

In related news, Gunn also confirmed that he will be returning for a third movie in the series. "Yes, I'm returning to write and direct Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3," he posted on Facebook. "There is a history in Hollywood of haphazard endings to trilogies, and I didn't want to become a part of that dishonorable tradition of pretending the third one doesn't exist.

"In the end, my love for [the characters] goes deeper than you guys can possibly imagine, and I feel they have more adventures to go on and things to learn about themselves and the wonderful and sometimes terrifying universe we all inhabit. And, like in both Vol. 1 and Vol. 2, we will work on creating the story that goes beyond what you expect."

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 hits theaters on May 5; you can check out a trailer here. In addition, Telltale has now released the first episode of its adventure game series--click here to read GameSpot's review.


Ghost Recon: Wildlands' First Expansion Out Today For Some, New Trailer To Celebrate

By Anonymous on Apr 18, 2017 09:17 pm

Ubisoft has released a new trailer that shows off Ghost Recon: Wildlands' first expansion, Narco Road, which is out today for those who own the game's $40 season pass. Alternatively, it launches April 25 for everyone else, priced at $15 by itself.

Narco Road tasks you with infiltrating three gangs of smugglers led by kingpin El Invisible. "Players will have to go undercover and work their way up the ranks and earn the trust of the mysterious leader if they have any hope of bringing him to justice," says Ubisoft. The DLC, like the main game, is playable in solo or co-op, and you can catch a glimpse of the action in the trailer above.

There are 15 "fast-paced" missions in Narco Road, as well as four new types of side missions. You can gain fame and influence by completing these missions; earn enough and you'll get a chance to take down El Invisible.

Additionally, Narco Road comes with four outfits, nine weapons, and four vehicles types: monster trucks, muscle cars, motorcycles, and planes.

Last week, the game received a new patch in preparation for today's expansion. The update also included a bunch of bug fixes and balance tweaks, as well as a set of weekly challenges that start anew every Wednesday.

Ghost Recon: Wildlands returned to No.1 in the UK sales chart this week following three weeks off the top. The open-world game spent two weeks at No.1 when it launched in March, but was pushed down to No.2 for the following three weeks by Mass Effect: Andromeda (twice) and Persona 5.

Wildlands received mixed reviews upon its release last month. Our critic called the open-world game "a middlingly safe tactical shooter and a slightly wasted opportunity," though he did praise its "seemingly boundless map" and its mission diversity.

Dark Souls Publisher Reveals Its New Game, A Vampire RPG

By Anonymous on Apr 18, 2017 09:09 pm

Ahead of schedule, the recently teased game from Bandai Namco has been revealed as Code Vein, an RPG where you play as a vampire.

Code Vein is described as a "dungeon exploration-type, hard action RPG" in the latest issue of Japanese publication Famitsu (as translated by Gematsu). It's in development by the same team responsible for the God Eater series.

Set in a post-apocalyptic near future, players assume the role of a Revenant. These are superpowered vampires who have lost most of their memories and now live as part of a society called Vein. Revenant need blood in order to avoid turning into something called a Lost.

Through the Buddy system, you can take an AI-controlled companion with you as you explore and engage in combat with a variety of swords and other melee weapons.

The full game is apparently still a ways off, with Famitsu reporting it's only 30% complete at this point and is not due out until 2018. It runs on Unreal Engine 4 but does not yet have any confirmed platforms.

More details on Code Vein should arrive soon; when Bandai Namco first teased the game last week, it said to expect an announcement on April 20.


New Horizon Zero Dawn Update Out Today, Here's What It Does

By Anonymous on Apr 18, 2017 08:46 pm

Guerrilla Games has revealed a new update for its PlayStation 4 exclusive, Horizon Zero Dawn. The patch goes live today, introducing a load of bug fixes and a couple of new features.

Most notably, you can now listen to your own music whilst playing Horizon, plus the update also adds the ability to drop chests that contain unwanted items. The remainder of the patch is made up of minor fixes; take a look at the full list below.

The open-world game's most recent patch added support for 3D Audio, while previous ones have tweaked balancing and fixed yet more bugs.

Prior to that, the game's publisher, Sony, confirmed that a story expansion is on its way, so those who've enjoyed the game will soon get more content to dig into.

Horizon Zero Dawn launched on February 28 in the US before coming to Europe on March 1. The game received widespread critical acclaim, including a 9/10 from GameSpot. Reviewer Peter Brown called it "one of the best open-world games of this generation;" find out more in our full Horizon Zero Dawn review.

Alien: Covenant's Doomed Crew Send Messages Home In Latest Teasers

By Anonymous on Apr 18, 2017 08:40 pm

Alien: Covenant hits theatres next month, and two new promotional teasers have been released. They take the form of video messages left by crew members for their families back home. The first features Katherine Waterston, playing Daniels, while the second focuses on Billy Crudup's character, Oram. Check them out below:

These teasers follow a series of TV spots that were released over the past few weeks. Watch these three promos, plus a teaser that uses the unlikely choice of a classic John Denver song.

Directed by Ridley Scott, Alien: Covenant also stars Michael Fassbender, James Franco, Danny McBride, and Demian Bichir. An intense full trailer was released in February, which followed this special prologue. There was also a disturbing poster for the movie.

Scott has also revealed that the name of the next film in the series will be Alien: Awakening, and it will sit chronologically between 2012's Prometheus and Covenant.

"There will be another one before we kind of literally and logically, clockwise, back into the rear back head of [the original] Alien," he said last month. "It will go Prometheus, Awakening, Covenant. There will be more after this. If this is successful, and then the next one, and then there will definitely be three more."

Alien: Covenant arrives in theaters on May 19 in the US and May 12 in the UK.

By Anonymous on Apr 18, 2017 07:46 pm

A new update has arrived for Torment: Tides of Numenera that purports to fix the game's performance problems, among other issues.

Numenera is the latest RPG from Wasteland 2 and The Bard's Tale developer InXile Entertainment. Numerous players have complained of bugs and performance issues since its launch earlier this year, and in March the company pledged to release a patch addressing them.

Update 1.0.2 is out now and consists of performance optimization and fixes for various freezes. It also resolves issues that would cause members of your party to talk less than they should.

Here are the full patch highlights, courtesy of InXile:

  • Fixes many freezes that would happen in various situations.
  • Numerous performance optimizations.
  • Addendum text now appears on item descriptions. Dozens of items have more detailed descriptions depending on your lore skills and other factors.
  • Fixes an issue that was preventing party members from bantering. Party members should now be much more talkative.
  • Updates crisis sequences to rebalance a number of enemies. In certain situations, it will make combat proceed more quickly.

  • Inspiring Presence and other looping sound effects have been reduced or removed.

Coinciding with the update's release, InXile has said to look for special offers on the game at retailers between now and April 28. That includes a one-day deal at Best Buy that drops the PS4 and Xbox One versions to $30 ($24 with Gamers Club Unlocked).
