The fictional Deep Forest circuit made its debut alongside the Gran Turismo series way back in 1997, and has been a fan favourite ever since. Its appearance in Gran Turismo 7 is, perhaps unsurprisingly, its most impressive yet, and the lap onboard a GT Lamborghini shows a track that’s at once visually outstanding while also being remarkably faithful to the PS1 original. Gran Turismo 7 also sees the return of a fully-fledged career mode (providing you’ve got an internet connection), with customisable and upgradeable cars making a return after the more stripped back Gran Turismo Sport....

“We know how important it is to be able to play with friends, so we’re putting this feature at the top of our priority list.” Then, the official New World Twitter account said players would be able to move between regions, for example switching from a US server to an EU one. This tweet is still live, at the time of this article’s publication. And so, sufficiently reassured, players went for pretty much any server they could join - even those in another region - in a bid to avoid New World’s incredibly long queue times....

The chipmaker announced at GDC that FSR 2.0 “will also be fully supported on Xbox and will be available in the Xbox GDK for registered developers to use in their games” (thanks, The Verge). FSR 2.0 was revealed last week for PC, which aims to improve performance in games by upscaling them from a lower resolution to a higher one. It’s similar to Nvidia’s DLSS technology, which only works on Nvidia 20 Series cards and newer....

Originally appearing in Animal Crossing: New Leaf, Reese and Cyrus are married alpacas who’ve decided to spend June celebrating their wedding on Harv’s Island, but they need your help to do so. In return for your time, Reese will give you Heart crystals and Cyrus will make a number of wedding event items for you to use. On this page: These items can be purchased at any point during Wedding Season, which is all of June, but are tied to the five items per day limit for Nook Shopping orders....

To date, developer Respawn’s pre-launch promotional material for Apex Legends: Defiance (as the new season will be known) has largely focused on new hero Mad Maggie, but we’re going deeper into gameplay territory this time around, starting with Control. Respawn has outlined the basics of Control previously, confirming it to be a new 9v9 limited-time mode that’ll run for the first three weeks of the season. Now, though, we’ve been given a significant look at the mode in action as part of a newly released Season 12 trailer - alongside some additional details via the official Apex Legends website....

Similar to treasure packs in the console and PC version of the game, you are limited to how many Fade Chips you can collect each day. This page details all Unleash Punishment event rewards in Apex Legends Mobile, explains how to get Fade Chips, and when the Unleash Punishment event ends. If you don’t have him yet, make sure to visit our how to get Fade in Apex Legends Mobile guide, which also explains his unique abilities....

By autumn 2024, all portable electronic devices sold in the EU will need to use USB Type-C for charging. The aim is to reduce electronic waste and be more consumer friendly by having just one “common charger”. Now the powers that be at Apple have confirmed the company will release an iPhone with this charging port - even though it is not very happy about it all. Speaking to The Wall Street Journal (via TheVerge), Apple’s senior vp of worldwide marketing Greg Joswiak stated: “Obviously, we’ll have to comply....

Creative director Dinga Bakaba broke the news during the latest episode of the Xbox podcast (thanks PC Gamer), confirming that Deathloop is “one of the futures of the Dishonored world.” When asked directly about the possible connection between the two games, Bakaba explained, “We have a number of systems [that mean] not everyone has seen the same thing [in Deathloop], not everyone has heard the same song hidden somewhere, not everyone has seen every room....

If you decide to spare Leofrith in Heavy Is the Head, he will give you intel about the Zealots who serve the Order of the Ancients. Specifically, he tells you to burn a scroll at Venonis that has Eivor’s name on it, thereby stopping the Zealots from actively hunting you down. However, the catch is you must reach this location before the next dawn, otherwise the quest will fail - meaning finding this location should be of the highest priority if you want to keep the Zealots off your back....

Born in Manchester in 1941, Warner developed a prolific acting career that stretched across seven decades and spanned film, television, stage and video games. On the big screen, Warner starred in movies such as Titanic, The Omen and Mary Poppins Returns. In 1981, he won an Emmy for his role in historical epic Masada.

Back in May 2020, Doom Eternal executive producer Marty Stratton took to Reddit to address “speculation and criticism” surrounding the the game’s soundtrack’s release, and admitting to “eroded trust” between Gordon and id Software. Then, last week, Gordon took to Medium to share a lengthy statement rebutting Stratton’s claims, releasing screenshots of emails and legal documents as evidence of the true timeline of events. He went on to allege abusive behaviour and manipulation by Stratton....

Chief among them is the ability to shut the annoying narrator up. Biomutant’s incorporeal narrator is certainly pretty chatty, commenting on pretty much everything you do and translating everything anyone says. Prior to the release of this patch, while you were able to tone the narrator down, you couldn’t shut him up completely. Now you can. Here are the relevant patch notes: Dialogue & Narrator: Reduced the amount of gibberish spoken before the Narrator starts translating....

While any weapon can be lethal in the right hands, it always helps to know which weapons are at the front of the pack. It may feel like an unfair advantage, but it’s just playing smarter, not harder. Unlike the M4A1 in the early days of Modern Warfare, there doesn’t appear to be one best weapon to rule them all - at least not yet. So, if you want to make sure you have the best weapon in Black Ops Cold War in your hands at all times - no matter what category you like to use, whether it’s assault rifles to sniper rifles and shotguns - then this page can help....

Last year marginalised creators on the platform were rocked by a surge of malicious hate raids and the hashtag #TwitchDoBetter was used to criticise Twitch’s response. This was followed by the #ADayOffTwitch campaign. However, this new campaign is asking for a resurgence in support. In an open letter to Twitch CEO Emmett Shear and senior staff, Black streamers state not enough has been done to support marginalised creators. While Twitch did respond to the influx of hate raids, the letter notes that Twitch only updated its safety protocols following the high profile campaigns by Black streamers....

Zane Flynt is an almost retired corporate hitman who sells his skills of espionage and assassination to the highest bidder. Using a range of gadgets and mercenary experience, Zane truly deserves the class title of Operative. If you’ve played Borderlands or Borderlands 2, then you might remember the surname Flynt. Zane is the brother of the bandit lord, Baron Flynt from Borderlands, who you kill, and Captain Flynt from Borderlands 2, who you also kill....

There’s no indication yet of when Armored Royale might return, but it’s probably worth keeping an eye on Raven’s twitter feed, where the announcement broke, for additional updates. ORIGINAL STORY 1.55pm: It’s a case of one step forward and two steps backwards for Call of Duty: Warzone exploits, with players now abusing an invisibility glitch to win. This glitch, first reported in December 2020 but seemingly exacerbated by last week’s Warzone update, comes hot on the heels of developer Raven Software’s fix for the troublesome infinite stim glitch, which had plagued the battle royale behemoth for months....

And the more I read about Call of the Sea, the more remarkable it seems. It is the debut game by a Spanish studio called Out of the Blue Games (appropriately), and it was made in only a year-and-a-half. For a game to be built so assuredly in such a short space of time, by a new studio, is very impressive. Intrigued, I tracked down studio co-founder and Call of the Sea game director, Tatiana Delgado, for a chat....

“Based on [our] legacy of genuine and honest communication”, says Iwiński in a new video," you’ve trusted us and pre-ordered our game, and despite good reviews on PC, the console version of Cyberpunk 2077 did not meet the quality standard we wanted it to meet. I, and the entire leadership team, are deeply sorry for this and this video is me publicly owning up to this." According to Iwiński, problems with the console release stemmed from Cyperpunk’s “huge” scope - specifically the “multitude of custom objects, interacting systems, and mechanics” all condensed into a single big city and “in a relatively loading-free environment”....

At the time, the hackers claimed they had received a satisfying offer for the information, and the auction was then closed with a condition of “no further distribution” agreed with the buyer. But that stolen data now appears to have resurfaced, with source code, assets and software development kits for platforms including the PlayStation 5 seemingly being shared online. Eurogamer has also seen internal development videos showing work-in-progress builds of Cyberpunk 2077....

A “special episode” of the developer’s Night City Wire video series will broadcast next Tuesday, 6th September at 4pm UK time. Will this be when we finally get a glimpse of Cyberpunk 2077’s long-awaited multiplayer component? Will we see a single-player expansion? Or is this just more hairstyles for V? CD Projekt has also said it will discuss its upcoming anime Cyberpunk: Edgerunners, which is headed to Netflix on 13th September....
