Acclaimed Construction And Automation Sim Factorio Heading To Switch
Factorio, which has garnered a seemingly endless procession of rave reviews since entering Steam early access all the way back in 2016 (it got its full release in 2020), casts players as impromptu space industrialists, tasking them with building increasingly elaborate contraptions in a ceaseless grasp for ever-more efficient automation. Ultimately, the goal is to build a rocket ship and escape the planet you’ve crash-landed on - a process that begins by farming natural resources to create basic machines which, in turn, open up more and more construction possibilities the further you travel along the tech tree....
Acclaimed Tropical Island Mystery Call Of The Sea Is Getting A Vr Adaptation
Call of the Sea - which initially launched for PC and consoles at the tail-end of 2020 - tells the story of Norah Everhart (voiced by Firewatch and The Walking Dead: Season One’s Cissy Jones), as she investigates a beautiful South Pacific island, circa 1934, in search of her missing husband. What follows is a captivating, often ingenious blend of story, exploration, and puzzling that successfully hits some powerful emotional beats even as it tips gently into cosmic weirdness....
Adorable Dna Splicing Zoo Tycoon Let S Build A Zoo Is Out In November On Pc
On the face of it, Let’s Build a Zoo delivers pretty much exactly what you’d expect from a zoo tycoon, tasking players with importing and breeding animals (from a list of over 500), managing staff, and fashioning an appealing park using scenery items, shops, and amenities in order to keep guests happy and the money rolling in. However, Let’s Build a Zoo starts to stray from that familiar template a little with its morality system, giving players the choice between keeping everything aboveboard, or taking a more exploitative path, working staff to the bone, purchasing exhibits from the black market, and engaging in other less-than-wholesome activities in pursuit of additional cash....
After Almost 30 Years Ea Is Officially Ditching The Fifa Brand
Beginning in 2023, FIFA’s new name will be EA Sports FC - though expect the game to remain otherwise unchanged, with the same wide array of club and player licenses, as well as all the usual game modes. The widely-expected move was confirmed today via press release, shortly before EA’s annual financial briefing. “Everything you love about our games will be part of EA Sports FC - the same great experiences, modes, leagues, tournaments, clubs and athletes,” EA Sports exec Cam Weber wrote....

Aliens Is Getting The Single Player Action Horror Treatment
Details on the new venture - currently being referred to as “Aliens” - are pretty scarce right now, with Survios only saying it’ll feature an original storyline set somewhere between the events of Alien and Aliens, with players taking on the role of a “battle hardened veteran [with] a vendetta against the Xenomorphs”. Given Survios’ background as a primarily VR-focused developer - it’s worked on the likes of Creed: Rise to Glory, The Walking Dead Onslaught, and Puzzle Bobble 3D: Vacation Odyssey - it won’t be much of a surprise to hear its new Aliens project is also be getting the VR treatment....
Amazon To Offer New World Players Free Server Transfers As Queue Times Balloon
New World launched yesterday and peaked at 707,230 concurrent players - the fifth-highest concurrents figure ever seen on Valve’s platform. At one point it was the most popular game on Steam, ahead of Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. But this popularity has made for extremely long queue times - for some over nine hours - that has made New World practically unplayable for many customers. In fact, most of the game’s negative user reviews on Steam are complaints about these server problems....
Another Wraith Portal Glitch Has Been Discovered In Apex Legends
Ordinarily, Wraith cannot equip weapons in the void, let alone unleash upon suspecting opponents whilst essentially invisible, but players have discovered that they can take pop shots at enemies if they expertly pull off a nifty manoeuvre that uses both Wraith’s Dimensional Rift ultimate skill and her Into the Void tactical. According to RossBossSquirrel’s video below (thanks, Dexerto), players can make good of the exploit no matter if they’re in the firing range, arena mode, or playing the battle royale’s main mode, and though it may take players a little while to “get the timing down”, the fact you can practice to your heart’s content in the firing range may prove to be problematic, at least in the short term....

Appeals Court Says Apple Doesn T Need To Let Ios Developers Link To External Payment Methods Just Yet
Back in September - following a lengthy court battle arising from Apple’s decision to remove Fortnite from its App Store after Epic broke App Store guidelines by deliberately circumventing iOS’ in-app payment mechanisms - California’s Judge Gonzalez Rogers ruled against all but one of Epic’s legal challenges. Gonzalez Rogers proclaimed Apple was free to control the payment system of its own platform - as Epic had failed to prove the iPhone maker held a monopoly as defined by antitrust laws - but also ruled Apple could not block developers from linking out to alternative payment methods from within their apps, or prevent developers from informing customers of alternative payments methods using contact details voluntarily provided for that purposes, as that would constitute “anti-competitive conduct” under state law....
Apple Could Be Forced To Allow App Sideloading Under New Eu Law
The law, known as the Digital Markets Act (DMA), has yet to be passed by the European Parliament but if accepted could be enforced as early as October. It would mean Apple would be forced to allow users to access both third-party stores and third-party apps - something the company is vehemently opposed to as it could compromise security. “Allowing sideloading would degrade the security of the iOS platform and expose users to serious security risks not only on third-party app stores, but also on the App Store,” states a report by Apple from last year....
