CD Projekt Red revealed several interesting details about the new intra -game content Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty, telling in detail about new opportunities.

Although Phantom Liberty, as you know, is focused on new combat mechanics, it is also worth expecting the appearance of a new battle system on a car, a percure redesign and renewal of a police officer (including Max-Taku battles). Among the additions are a new skill tree "Biochip" and a new area "Dogtown", Exclusive for this expansion.

However, if you move on to more interesting moments, revealed in the recent stream of developers, then how the game will change towards improving combat mechanics in combination with a tree of biochip skills. For a selection of information from Stream, thanks to the user Drunklad:

• Biochip glasses will be scattered through the dogtaun in unrecognized places that the player will be able to explore.
• The more you fight, the more you have adrenaline, which gives you short -term buffs (in particular, additional health) and special abilities. The more people you apply your abilities, the more health you will restore.
• In the technological tree there will be perks that allow you to expand the limit of cyberimplants (the so -called edgerunner). But if you exceed this limit, you will get into "The regime of rage", in which your health will decrease, but if you combine it with adrenaline mechanics, you can continue to act while you are aggressive and continue to fight.
• Aforementioned "The state of rage" does not lead to a loss of control over the character, so this is not a complete cyberpsichosis.
• You can aim at cyberimplants of enemies, and they will work as weaknesses of opponents. The destruction of cyberimplants will be accompanied by an explosion similar to AOE.
• The monument will be able to use and distribute quikhaki through attacks.
• The optical camouflage will have an upgrade that will return you to where you turned it on.

The changes listed above indicate that the expansion will be aimed at improving combat experience. Moreover, clashes with the police will now be much more exciting, since the mechanics of the police officer were significantly improved, which allows you to get a much more complex combat experience.

• The police will pursue you, and if they lose, they will continue to look for you throughout the area. The maps will show the icons showing where the police are located and where it is searching.
• Max-Tak is a paratrooper from aerodines (flying cars)
• The police can hack and disable your car if you try to escape.
• Max-so can hack and reveal your location if they lose you.
• The minimum complexity of Max-Tak – "High", Even if the game is installed on "Short".
• The police can use various tactics, for example, try to knock you down or install checkpoints.
• You can run away from the police, but it is more difficult than in the current version, especially as you collect more and more stars. The police reaction depends on which area you are in.
• In Dogtown, Bargest will work instead of the police, and in the wastelands – milkteh.

The possibilities of acquiring new cars have expanded significantly, as the developers said that in a new expansion they are actively working on the creation of new "Car Gigs". These are the changes in Car Gigs can be expected in Phantom Liberty:

• El Captain will contact you when you enter the dogtown, and will give the task to seize cars in the vicinity of Dogtown and Night City, and you must bring them to the garage.
• Other gangs will fight with you for cars.
• Performing these tasks, you can unlock new cars and guns installed on them.
• Some machines need to be monitored, others need to be obtained by fighting with other gangs, others depend on time.
• You must lose the tail (gang or police) before delivering the car.
• El Captain will comment on the condition of the car, if by the time of its delivery it will be broken down.

Phantom Liberty can play a decisive role in the revival of Cyberpunk 2077. In addition, thanks to the inclusion of DLSS 3.5 The quality of rays trace will be much higher, which will allow RTX users to fully feel the possibility of expansion.

Open beta version 1.49 for American Truck Simulator became available for testing.

HDR Skyboxes, Moon and new weather effects

First of all, by numerous requests, the developers added the moon to the night sky! This is a thin, but wonderful touch that adds an additional level of realism and surprise to your virtual adventures on trucks. Curious, but what may seem like a simple addition – the moon – for some time created serious problems. The integration of the Moon into the night sky demanded, among other things, drawing, rendering and calculating lunar light, controlling reflection in reservoirs, working with wet roads and eliminating mirror effects.

In addition to this, the night sky was also rethought, adding dynamic stars that gently flicker, increasing the general reliability of night impressions.

Skyboxes will now have an expanded dynamic range (HDR), which means that the colors of the sky will be more saturated and bright, and the visual effects of the weather are also updated. Thunderstorms now include visible zipper, which provides more exciting experience. And be sure to follow the night sky in certain regions: you can be pleasantly surprised by what you notice.

Technical Center Pakkar

You will find a realistic reconstruction of the Paccar technical center, hidden among the endless landscape of Washington.

Now drivers will have the opportunity to personally get acquainted with the technical center Paccar. Recreated in the game 1: 1, it will allow you to look into the world of truck development. For many years, the Paccar Technical Center has been an epicenter of innovation and developments for well -known manufacturers of Kenworth and Peterbilt trucks.

This object played an important role in testing trucks, transmissions, technologies and much more and it is here that the giants of the cargo industry move the boundaries of the possible, creating the next generation of cult trucks.

Despite the fact that this area will not be visible on the game map and in the user interface, it will wait for curious players to open many interesting places to study. The developers also added an additional incentive: a small Easter egg will be parked in the Paccar technical center itself.

Dealers of used trucks

Dot trucks will be available immediately in the main menu, where you can choose trucks that are cheaper compared to completely new cars. However, these former use trucks have a certain mileage and wear, which is indicated by their rating and a separate window, which contains detailed information about damage to various parts.

One of the most significant changes associated with this function is the improved system of damage and repair. Previously, individual details accumulated damage, expressed as a percentage and they could be repaired. However, with update 1.49 parts will be divided into three types of damage:

• Damage: this type of damage can be eliminated with standard repairs, as before.
• Details of details: components with signs of wear, it is necessary to replace.
• Constant wear: Parts with constant wear can be restored only by completely restoration of the entire car. This is a more expensive procedure, but this is the only way to return the truck and trailer to the pristine state.

The advanced damage system provides improved control over car maintenance. Now you can make a conscious choice regarding which parts should be repaired or replaced based on your judgment. In addition, you have the opportunity to seek professional advice on choosing the best strategy for repairing your truck or trailer.

Modifiers of key combinations

Another very popular function that appeared in version 1.49 – these are modifiers of key bindings! Previously, when creating a new binding in the menu, only one key could be assigned for action. With update 1.49 You will now have the opportunity to use the combination of the key and modifiers to bind action. For example, now you can assign Shift + L to turn on the light if you want!

This opens up for you a completely new world of key combinations, providing more attachments, but this is not all! Now you will also have the opportunity to tie a short and long clip press. Keeping the key will be recognized as a long press, and the usual pressing of the button will be perceived as a short press.

Keyboard is not the only peripheral device using this change. Controllers will also be able to use this new function!

Independent Hilltop Studios Game Studio in collaboration with Versus Evil revealed additional information about its upcoming deductive adventure game Lil ‘Guardsman, based on the narrative, on the eve of its launch at the end of this year on the PC, Switch and PlayStation. and Xbox Series console.

Lil ’Guardsman sets players as a young girl who covers her father, the main guard of the castle. While she interrogates many funny and strange characters trying to penetrate their city walls, you must find out the true intentions of each visitor with the help of a cunning dialogue and skillful use of her tools to investigate.

The new blog post contains an overview of the fractions that you will meet, becoming a victim of non -threshold laws on children’s work SPRAWL. The current ruler, Princess of Desdemon, almost reached the age of majority, and the grooms from two neighboring countries compete for her. On the one hand, there is a ruler of ancient women-warriors, led by Empire Marva, who was based on a leading principle: “If your husband is hungry, he must prepare a dinner for himself”. They tend to solve their property, prelibal and legal disputes through the trial. On the other hand, there is the Miner Kingdom of Prince Finius Petrar, the wayward playboy, who simply wants to have fun, but his parents insist that he marry to guarantee their royal line.

These are not the only fractions that you will encounter, since there is also a liberation army of goblins (GLA), full of righteous rage, that their people built The Sprawl, while people revel in the fruits of their work. There are rumors that the royal wedding will destroy the current regime. There is also a guild of magicians, secretive and mysterious. As a rule, magicians practice one by one, but sometimes they have to get together when their spells and experiments require more gross force.

Former leading designer Ubisoft Montreal Ed Byrne said that several developers of the original Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell did not like Tom Clans’s books, including because of the author’s republican views.

In a conversation with Game Informer, Burn said that the development team consisted mainly of "Piles of bloodthirsty liberals", And the screenwriter Jay Tyu was " Vegan, wearing sandals, a student of New York University".

They were just terrible, ”Burn said about Tom Clans’s novels. Now I can admit it. I am sure that Ubisoft would be glad to hear it, but I want to say that none of us loved Clancy. This was not a license of our dreams.

According to Burn, during the development of the original Splinter Cell, developers crammed the game with many different stamps and irony.

It got to the point that we simply began to introduce all these stamps, trying to understand that we could get away with us, and every time we added new stamps, the game became more and more similar to Clans [. ] Then we realized: "Well, we can just put the name Clancy on everything".

The only requirement set before the development of the developers from Clancy, according to Burn, was that the player could not kill inside the church. Otherwise, they had complete freedom of action. Splinter Cell was not even based on Tom Clans’s novels, because, having moved all possible options, the team could not find anything suitable. Later, based on the game, the book was written, but David Michaels became its author.

Despite the dislike of the novels and political views of Clans, many more games were released with his name. After Splinter Cell, the French publishing giant managed to release The Sum of All Fears, Ghost Recon: Jungle Storm, Endwar, H.A.W.X, The Division, Elite Squad, Rainbow Six Siege and Wildlands. Also in the development there are several games with the name of Tom Clans that have not yet been released: The Division Heartland, Rainbow Six Mobile, The Division Resourgence and the Remedician Splinter Cell. At the same time, XDEFiant developers completely refused on behalf of Tom Clansy.

At the moment, the SPLINTER CELL remake does not have a release date, since it is at an early stage of development.

The continuation of the Assassin’s Creed series was waiting for many fans of the series, but the first reports of the performance of the game raised questions to its optimization. But if you did not get stable shots at the flagship cars with high resolution, then the situation with video cards of the middle segment is much better.

Let’s start with the inexpensive and popular GTX 1650 which, in the Full-HD resolution with FSR turned on and the average settings, was able to show plus or minus stable 60fps. Although you can play without scaling, but already at low settings.

The most popular video card, on the current issue of Steam, GeForce RTX 3060, feels confident in FullHD in any settings, and using DLSS can show stable 60+ frames in resolution of 1440r. It is better not to experiment with permission to own RTX 2060 owners, leaving the “standard” 1920×1080.

In general, the owners of RTX 3050 are satisfied with the game and its optimization. The same who, for various reasons, has not improved their PC for the past few years. On the GTX 960 C turned on FSR, you should not count on more than 40 FPS. Similar situation with Radeon RX 560.

If you are a completely desperate gamer that uses the RX 550, then even with FSR you should not raise permission 720p (in this case, there is a chance for “console” personnel). In a similar situation, the owners will be “gaming” GeForce GT 1030.

So, despite the progress of technology and mixed reviews about optimization from specialized publications, Assassin’s Creed: Mirage will be available to a wide range of gamers, even with not the most modern systems. Unless the issue of acquiring the game can stand up. Fortunately, there is a simple and profitable solution – KeysForgamers. There are many trusted sellers on the site, so you can always find a suitable proposal. Pleasant prices, a wide range and ease of payment will probably be added to your taste.

Electronic Arts has just revealed details about the new content that will appear in the 2021 shooter. Battlefield 2042 Redux will allow players to survive the best events from the previous seasons of the game.

Dice is already officially working on a new part of the Battlefield series, and in fact the shooter is developed by three Electronic Arts studios. However, the developers do not forget about Battlefield 2042 – the studio announced the 6th season of the game and "Redux".

This in -game event will give you the opportunity to survive the best moments of last year at Battlefield 2042. Join the game and get new impressions by opening weekly awards and finding new game capabilities in your favorite modes and maps – from the “assault XL”, “Tactical "Avpatata ”,“ Breakthrough: chaos ”before“ capture in attack ”and“ sabotage ”. But wait, that’s not all! Your weekend has just become better. However, not only the weekend, but the whole week. Get double experience on weekends and weekly awards. And, of course, many more improvements await you, thanks to which you will want to return to the game again and again. So, firstly. In the event “Liquidators” you will have to face opponents in cruel hand -to -hand fights. Then begins the “Battle for "Nordvik"”, Where the main task will be to capture the target at all costs. Finally, in the “climbing of Leviathan” you will need to disrupt the enemy’s operation and force him to retreat. If you missed any of these incredible events, now you have a second chance to plunge into chaos and find out why they immediately won the recognition of the players.

Battlefield 2042 Redux will implement a completely new progression system that allows to receive tokens that are used to unlock awards. In each game version, you can receive tokens, which, in particular, will allow you to get completely new skins of characters, vehicles and weapons, as well as previous content from the store.

Redux will also ensure the return of modes with time limit. The developers published a whole calendar, and fans will be able to systematically take part in new tests.

The developers have not forgotten about the improvement of the quality of the gameplay – players are waiting for balance corrections for engineers and even the new code for those who want to know more about the history of Battlefield 2042.

Dice does not refuse to support the game, and in October the sixth season of the game starts, in which, among other things, another new map will appear.

With the exit on November 18, 2008, the game Left 4 Dead captured the game world. It was a cheerful and frantic cooperative zombie-player, which was easy to take up, but it is difficult to tear. Over the past years, various companies tried to recreate the magic of Left 4 Dead, and the game Back 4 Blood, published in 2021, perhaps the closest to the emulation of this experience. However, few modern games can be compared with LEFT 4 DeAD, since the Valve developer has created a game with an unusually effective combination of simple and at the same time deeply influencing elements in which the reiglable was higher than the different system of passage. 15 years after the release, the original LEFT 4 DeAD is still the standard of cooperative shooters.

Even for 2008, LEFT 4 DeAD has been distinguished by an incredibly simple concept. A team of four players was supposed to survive among the hordes of zombies, trying to escape from various unique, almost theatrical, situations. Although this scheme itself was not something extraordinary, carefully thought out by Valve gameplay in combination with exceptional audiovisual elements created a tense cooperative game in the horror genre. The combination of these elements in Left 4 Dead made it possible to create short but deeply exciting episodes in which the team work was not only a distinctive feature, but also a prerequisite for survival.

The original game Left 4 Dead became a hit, giving rise to a continuation in 2009 – Left 4 Dead 2. Together they gathered a huge fanbase, which and 15 years later continues to actively participate in the Universe of the game. Despite the fact that over the past years, many games have tried to imitate the Left 4 Dead franchise, players still prefer the original. In particular, Left 4 Dead 2 has a prosperous fan base, largely due to active modding community. Thanks to this community, years after the last renewal of Valve content, new and complex modes for old players constantly appear in the game.

We did not have to wait long for the official message from Respawn Entertainment. Developers of Star Wars Jedi: Survivor issued an application in which they apologize for problems with the game and promise appropriate corrections.

Star Wars Jedi: Survivor is available on current generation consoles and PC since today, but Respawn Entertainment cannot celebrate. The launch of the game on the PC was unsuccessful, as many players cannot enjoy a new adventure. The game is poorly launched on many devices, so the studio made a statement.

Although there is no single comprehensive solution to increase the performance of the PC, the team is working on corrections that, in our opinion, will improve performance on various configurations. We strive to eliminate these problems as quickly as possible, but each correction requires significant testing to make sure that we do not create new problems. Thank you for understanding and apologize for the problems that some of our players faced. We will continue to monitor performance on all platforms and share information about updates as they appear.

It is safe to say that this is another major release that has encountered problems on the PC – we saw a similar situation with The Callisto Protocol and The Last of Us Part I.

Respawn Entertainment now, presumably, will test various configurations so that more gamers can enjoy this game. One can only hope that the developers will pay more attention to such situations in the future so that fans can enjoy the adventure from the date of its debut.

As mentioned earlier – Star Wars Jedi: Survivor is faced with a lot of criticism on Steam. Currently, the game has "Mostly negative" reviews, and only 37% of 2,826 reviews are positive.

Since the unsuccessful release of Cyberpunk 2077 at the end of 2020, the game community has been experiencing real American slides of emotions. This attraction is financed by CD Projekt Red, which is systematically – albeit with varying success – tries to improve the originally catastrophic quality of its flagship.

As a result, almost three years after the debut of Cyberpunk 2077, we survived before the revolutionary update 2.0, which, in principle, rebuilds all aspects of the game. But with what effect? The best indicator of the quality of the patch is the reaction of the community. To this end, the latest comments and statistics on the game in Steam were studied.

Let’s start with the latter – according to Steamdb graphs, 90,241 people played at the peak after the update to the game. Given that in previous weeks this figure reached 25,000 people, the increase is impressive.

So sooner or later, such popularity was supposed to lead to the emergence of new reviews in Steam. Indeed, Cyberpunk 2077 received many reviews, the vast majority of which are positive. The diagram below is the best reflects this:

And here are some examples of reviews:

Update 2.0 makes the game even more amazing in all respects that I did not consider possible, I definitely recommend it, especially after new improvements

Version 2.0 – this is a very necessary improvement. She shows what can be done if you give the game much more time and attention

It should be noted that there are negative comments. True, they are mainly associated with the personal preferences of the players. Users complain, in particular, over the excessively weakened characteristics of the weapon, scaling opponents or the development process of the character.

Update 2.0 is just awful. All firearms were too weakened. So much pleasure from the game was lost. After that, I just returned the money for the pre -order DLC. I don’t want to play DLC in this state.

The battles were tense and difficult depending on what fractions you fought with. It was pleasant to return to the initial zone to go through the lower levels after my ass, stronger gangs. Now they are "Balanced" The game so that each gang corresponds to your level, so you get a kick under the ass where you go.

Patch 2.0 In essence, he destroyed the diversity of the builds, which was present in previous versions. Now you are more or less forced to pump in accordance with fixed archetypes, since the trees make you highlight glasses to skills that you may not need if you want to completely reveal certain paths.

It should be emphasized once again that all the above comments relate exclusively to Steam. We can read the opinions of the owners of various platforms in the post of Marki Momot, the director for working with the CD Projekt RED community, which through X asked the players about their impressions after release 2.0. Probably, other messages will appear there during the day.
