New Valorant ‘Silvanus’ Skin Bundle Leaked by Dataminers

0

Ahead of the release of the highly anticipated Valorant patch 2.07, dataminers have already managed to dig up the game files of the upcoming skin bundle in Valorant.

The new Valorant skin bundle – ‘Silvanus’ – features a finish of dark and lighter blues, showcasing a small house with two lit windows. The house seems to be inside a forest.

The Silvanus skin bundle is set to feature skins for the following weapons:

  • Vandal
  • Phantom
  • Sheriff
  • Operator
  • Stinger

The Silvanus will undoubtedly be a popular bundle in the community since it features skins for both the Phantom and Vandal, two of the most frequently used guns in the shooter.

However, some players have complained that the Silvanus bundle looks quite similar to the Christmas Wunderland bundle released last year.

Dataminers are claiming that this bundle will be ‘Deluxe’ tier, implying that each skin will be priced at 1,275 VP while the entire bundle will be around 4,270 VP due to the absence of a melee skin.

Steam version of Nier Automata is finally getting an update

0

For a long time, Nier: Automata’s PC version on Steam has been plagued with endless issues and bugs such as lack of ultra-wide support, locked frame rates, low render resolution, constant stutters, and crashes, etc. The game never received any major updates that addressed these issues, however, a small patch to resolve issues related to AMD GPUs was released but the game was soon forgotten by Square Enix and players had to resort to community-made mods and fixes to bring the game to a playable state.

Recently, the game was bombed with negative reviews on Steam after the launch of the Xbox Game Pass version on PC, which was a slightly better port, despite having its own set of problems. 

However, four years after its release, the developers announced an upcoming patch, stating that “An upgrade patch for the Steam version of #NieR: Automata is currently in development.” Although it’s a fairly vague announcement, it’s better late than never. It’d be interesting to see what fixes and features could be added in this upcoming update or rather an upgrade as announced on their Twitter.

Perhaps now is the time to play NieR Replicant™ ver.1.22474487139.. while we wait for the patch to roll out.

100 Thieves signs Canadian Content Creator Kyedae

It is now official! The Japanese-Canadian Valorant content creator Kyedae joined 100 Thieves. Both 100 Thieves and Kyedae have tweeted about their partnership. Kyedae is 100 Thieves’ youngest and first-ever international content creator.

After announcing Valkyrae and Courage as the co-owners of 100 Thieves last week, the organization is powering up women in gaming and esports. We will probably see more female talents joining 100 Thieves in the future.

Since her start in November 2020, Kyedae has gained more than 400k followers combining both her Twitch and YouTube channel.

The Reactions of Nadeshot and Kyedae

According to Matthew “Nadeshot” Haag, Founder & CEO of 100 Thieves,

We’re always on the lookout for breakout creators to help them boost their gaming careers. I have so much respect for Kyedae and her work ethic. She’s built such a strong community over just a few months despite being a full-time biology major with a full course load. I can’t wait to work with her more and help her reach her full potential as a content creator.

Kyedae added,

It doesn’t quite feel real yet that I am now part of 100 Thieves. Everyone in this organization is so admirable and I’m incredibly honored to be a part of this team. I started my streaming career less than half a year ago and knowing that I have such a talented group of creators and staff behind me makes me feel very supported and it inspires me to work even harder. I just want to give a huge thank you to the 100 Thieves team. There is so much more that goes into every photo shoot, video, content piece, etc., than what meets the eye. I’m so excited for the future and all the content we’ll be able to create together!

PS5’s April Update now lets you use external storage options

0

PlayStation 5’s first major update will launch globally on April 14 and brings support for external USB storage to install PS5 games, cross-gen Share Play between PlayStation 4 and 5 as well as new features for the PlayStation App for mobile devices.

While it is now possible to store games on external storage, you cannot access them. With this update, you can seamlessly transfer and play your games from a USB storage device. Sony says that “it’s a great way to extend the storage capabilities of your PS5 console, and you can seamlessly copy your PS5 games back to the console’s internal storage when you’re ready to play.” However, PS5 games cannot be directly downloaded to the USB storage either, but games that have been transferred to it will be updated automatically and you can select what component or game mode (Story Campaign or Multiplayer) you’d like to transfer/install. Sony is still working on enabling the M.2 storage expansion slot in the future which would let players download more games like the PS5’s 825GB SSD only lets you access 667GB worth of storage.

The PlayStation blog post also mentions “New Social Features” for PlayStation 4 and 5 with the inclusion of Cross-Generation Share Play where PS5 users can let their friends on PS4 control and watch their game thanks to various options that include “the ability to share your screen with a friend, pass your controller virtually to a friend, or pass a second controller virtually to play co-op games together.” Friends can also request to join your current game session (depending on the game) from the “Request to Join” option.

Finally, the update also brings several QoL features such as:

  • Improved Game Base
  • Disable Game Chat or Adjust Players’ Volume
  • Game Update Pre-Downloads
  • Customize Game Library
  • Screen Zoom
  • New Trophy Settings and Stats Screen

The PlayStation mobile app is also being updated, notably with features that make it easier for you to join a multiplayer session from the app itself as well as storage management for the PS5.

Here’s Why Dr Disrespect Won’t Stream Apex Legends on YouTube

0

A year ago, popular video game streamer Herschel “Dr. Disrespect” Beahm had confirmed to his fans that he would never play the battle royale again. While he seems to like the battle royale a bit better now, he has explained why he can’t stream it on YouTube.

In one of his recent streams, Doc explained to his fans why he can’t play Apex Legends on his YouTube streams.

When asked by a donator if the fans will be able to see Dr Disrespect play Apex Legends in the future, he claimed that although he’d like to, he can’t play it.

“I mean I can, but the problem with YouTube is that they have no streaming community,” the Doc said.

He then proceeded to explain that in order to get a decent viewership, he needs to stick to “top three or top four most popular games.”

“If I just casually move over to Apex, a game that’s old, a year or two. I mean, sh*t,” he continued.

He also joked that he might lose 95% of his viewership if he chooses to start streaming Apex Legends on his YouTube channel.

Valorant Patch 2.07: Full Patch Notes Inside

0

The Valorant 2.07 patch notes are now official. That being said the Astra and Raze changes should carry some serious weight for the Spike plant/defuse window and predicting incoming attacks, respectively.

Viper is technically a bug fix not a balance, but this fix alters slightly the potential power of her recent Decay buff.

AGENT UPDATES

ASTRA

Astra gets a quick boost this patch focused on removing a counterintuitive rule where her Gravity Well doesn’t affect those defusing the Spike. We want to try and keep our ability interactions as consistent and easy to learn as possible and allow you to explore ways to leverage Agent abilities without running into unexpected walls. We think this update can create some interesting interactions post-plant where enemies try to bait out the Gravity Well and play around with its cooldown. As always, we’ll keep an eye on her new post-plant impact overall.

Gravity Well

  • Now pulls Agents that are defusing the Spike
  • If they are pulled out of defusing range, the defuse will be interrupted

Raze

Raze mains have learned to fly (like a butterfly in the sky) so far and so fast with their Blast Packs that it’s not uncommon to hear an explosion in the distance and then suddenly have an enemy Raze fly around the corner. Similar to Jett’s Tailwind, we’re adding a sound attached to Raze as she flies through the air that should help you better track her movement, and give you some heads up that danger might be on the way. Along with that, we’ve taken a pass on some of her ability VFX, in an attempt to reduce how much they obscure combat when exploding on the battlefield.

Audio cues added to indicate when she’s boosted in the air from Blast Pack. Explosion and Showstopper launching VFX updated so they are less obscuring and clear out of the play space faster

VIPER

After digging into reports about Marshal shots not killing enemies that had taken 50 decay, we discovered a bug tied to the way the game determines if taking damage should be lethal on decayed targets with armor at specific health breakpoints. We think the bugged interaction with the Marshal was by far the most common, but we’ll watch how this bugfix affects the recently buffed Viper’s overall power.

Fixed a bug when calculating if damage taken while decayed should be lethal for players with armor. Most noticeably, this was causing Marshal shots when the target was decayed 50 to reduce the enemy to 1 health instead of killing them.

QUALITY OF LIFE

  • Improved feel of ping wheel selection tool; this should now feel more predictable to use
  • Cypher Tripwires now display to Observers with associated team color

BUGS

  • Fixed issue where spectators and observers could sometimes see incorrect aim vectors for scoped-in sniper rifles when switching between views. The incorrect view would settle to the correct position over about 1 second. The correct view now immediately shows.

AGENTS

  • Yoru can no longer plant the Spike after using Gatecrash while his Dimensional Shift is active
  • Fixed an unintended dome in the sky that Astra saw if she came out of Astral form while Omen is ulting
  • Fixed a bug where placing Killjoy’s turret next to Sage’s Barrier Orb would sometimes break it
  • Cypher can no longer place Spycam in Cyber Cage projectiles
  • Fixed issue where Killjoy’s disabled Alarmbots would chase far away targets that ran by them when it was re-enabled
  • Fixed issue where Skye’s Guiding Light appeared to go underground when thrown directly down

COMPETITIVE

  • Fixed various localization issues with the server selector and the promotion screen
  • Fixed a bug that was causing the Match History filter to function incorrectly
  • When viewing a friend’s Match History, it’s possible to get an error message as the result of viewing too many filters too quickly. This limit is in place to help with performance, but should only happen when viewing a friend’s career.

SOCIAL

  • Fixed a bug where players would have to restart client to rid themselves of their competitive queue restriction after their restriction ended
  • Fixed a bug where some players were not penalized for being AFK after a match ended during remakes
  • Fixed a bug where players using a Russian keyboard were having issues with party push to talk
  • Fixed a bug where players who swapped to Thai keyboard had their voice chat settings reset

Wild Rift Patch Notes 2.2A – All Details Inside

0

Riot Games has pushed a mini update to their mobile game LOL: Wild Rift. This Wild Rift patch 2.2A comes under the major patch 2.2 and the new contents will be downloaded directly in-game. Here are the changes that are introduced with this new patch.

WILD RIFT PATCH NOTES 2.2A

This champion will be added on 22nd April in Wild Rift. The description of Rammus is given as follows:

“Idolized by many, dismissed by some, mystifying to all, the curious being Rammus is an enigma. Protected by a spiked shell, he inspires increasingly disparate theories on his origin wherever he goes—from demigod to sacred oracle, to a mere beast transformed by magic. Whatever the truth may be, Rammus keeps his own counsel and stops for no one as he roams the Shuriman desert.”

A new line of skins is being introduced in the game. The Stargazer skins are being added to Wild Rift and for now, only Camille, Soraka and Twisted Fate are included in the list. The entire list of skins is given below:
