No Man’s Sky has been out for almost eight years now, but players have never been able to feel truly alone within its massive star systems. That’s set to change with the game’s recent update, Expedition 13: Adrift, which radically refocuses the game at a basic level.

As explained in the blog post announcing the update, Adrift is intended to capture the feeling of early, unreleased versions of No Man’s Sky, when there were “no NPCs, no shops, [and] no help.” To achieve this, the update removes all lifeforms from the game, and renders all buildings broken and rusted Come from Sports betting site VPbet.

The eastern American state of Pennsylvania reportedly saw its aggregated gross gaming revenues for October rise by 12.8% year-on-year to approximately $320.21 million despite the considerable impacts of the coronavirus pandemic.

According to a report from the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review newspaper citing official figures from the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board, the twelve land-based casinos in ‘The Keystone State’ saw their October aggregated gross gaming revenues from traditional slot and table games decline by about 16.1 % year-on-year to slightly over $218.06 million. This purportedly came after the venues were allowed to re-open from mid-June following an almost three-month shutdown instituted to help stop the spread of the potentially-lethal coronavirus ailment.

If you’ve just bought yourself an RTX 4070 Super for approaching $600, look away now, as one Reddit user has managed to snag one for themselves for a little over 50 Canadian dollars, including shipping (which is around $40 in US money).

Originally posted on October 20, to the PCMR subreddit, user Vincenz_OB announced they had purchased the popular graphics card for $48.94 from Amazon.

This was met with disbelief, with one user saying: “On Amazon – a good deal on a Graphics Card is also known as a rock inside a nice box.”

The reason many thought Vincenz would get a ‘rock in a box’ is because Amazon, being a huge multinational corporation, is believed to often check its returns through weight and seals on the box. Though less common now, there was a problem with the wr…

As spotted by Kotaku, Apex Legends surpassed its all-time peak Steam player count on February 15, logging 610,433 concurrent gamers and blowing away its previous high of 510,000 last August. This milestone comes in the midst of a beefy four-year anniversary update to the game that added a new class system to organize its heroes, a team deathmatch mode, and free hero giveaways.

The new class system is probably the biggest long-term change to Apex. The preexisting heroes have been organized into team roles in a similar fashion to Overwatch, and the new archetypes confer additional bonuses to their respective heroes. There’s a full breakdown in Apex Legends’ Revelry patch notes, but the new classes are as follows:

Raphael Colantonio has been making immersive sims for a long time—ever since 2002’s Arx Fatalis. But he’s still not sure how to effectively describe them to people. In a recent interview with PC Gamer, he explains how big of a marketing hurdle the genre is, and why some brilliant games have suffered because of it.

“If you don’t hit the market, it doesn’t matter how good your game is,” he says. “Prey is a good example of that, where it was sold as an immersive sim. It’s an immersive sim in every way one can imagine. But because of that, there were a lot of marketing points that were spent in trying to explain to people with an immersive sim is.”

Despite being one of the best immersive sims around, Prey didn’t meet Bethesda’s sales expectations, which inspired it to ma…
