Elden Ring: Where To Get The Visage Shield

1 year 10 months ago

If you're looking for some truly unique and intriguing shield options in Elden Ring, look no further than the Visage Shield. While its extremely high equip rate makes it best for builds with very high Endurance, it's worth every point. Here's where you can round it up to try out for yourself.

The Visage Shield explained

The Visage Shield is a greatshield that requires 44 Strength to wield. It blocks 100% of physical damage and has unusually high resistances to most forms of magic, too, making it an incredible choice--provided you can cope with its massive equip weight. You can also hold down its skill Tongues of Fire, which sprays fire jets in front of you while you walk forward that may deter enemies from pushing in on you.

The Visage Shield's item description reads:

Tricksome bronze shield depicting the face of a Fire Giant. Several tongues leap from its open mouth. The dreadful visage and burning flames are designed to remind one of the horror of facing a Fire Giant. In other words, this shield has an instructional function.

Where to find the Visage Shield

The Visage Shield can be found within the Caelem Ruins in Caelid. On the eastern side of the ruins is a set of stairs leading down to the cellar, but getting the shield won't be as easy as opening a chest. Instead, you'll have to face off against a duo of Mad Pumpkin Head bosses in a very small and enclosed space.

Lollipop Chainsaw Remake Won’t Change Story or Aesthetics; Producer Clarifies the Developers’ Plans

1 year 10 months ago

Following the announcement of the Lollipop Chainsaw Remake, producer and Dragami Games CEO Yoshimi Yasuda took to Twitter to explain some relevant points.

Yasuda-san explained that the primary goal is to make the game available on modern platforms, not to make a new Lollipop Chainsaw game.

The ideal solution would have been to simply remaster the original game without changing anything, but the developer isn’t able to use 16 licensed songs. For that reason, Dragami Games is aiming to create a remake that’s as close as possible to a remaster.

The original story will not be changed, and the same goes for the aesthetics of the game. The mention of a “more realistic look” was simply meant to indicate the use of more advanced rendering technology available in current consoles.

By the same token, Juliet’s character design will not be changed.

Yasuda-san also acknowledged that many fans may be worried about censorship. While Dragami Games has not talked with the platform holders just yet, they intend to negotiate with them to be able to make the game as close as possible to the original.

You can find the full message below.

Bayonetta 3 Gets A Rating, Grants Hope That It Will Release This Year

1 year 10 months ago

The pre-order pages for Bayonetta 3 have been updated with an ESRB rating, potentially solidifying Platinum Games' past assurances that the game will release in 2022.

As spotted by Resetera user vestan, the official Nintendo store page for Bayonetta 3 has been updated with a rating. The poster also took a look on the Way-Back Machine and found that the page had displayed a “rating pending” designation before recently. The listing has yet to appear on the ESRB official website. However, the Nintendo store page details that the game has been rated M for violence, blood and gore, partial nudity, and strong language.

After an initial announcement teaser in 2018, no further information about Bayonetta 3 was released for more than three years. Despite repeated assurances from developer Platinum that development was going well, fans got nervous as the game continued to be a no-show across industry events. A Nintendo Direct in 2021 showed off gameplay footage and promised a 2022 release for the character action game. Nevertheless, the COVID-19 pandemic, along with a host of other factors, caused and is still causing delays of major titles. It was easy to worry that Bayonetta 3 will fall to the same fate.

Amazon Cuts $120 Off Sony WH-1000XM4 Noise-Canceling Headphones For Prime Day

1 year 10 months ago

Really good headphones, especially those sporting noise-canceling technology and Bluetooth connectivity, can run very expensive. Amazon's Prime Day sale is providing a great opportunity to snag a great pair of premium over-ear headphones with a $120 discount on Sony's WH-1000XM4 headset, bringing the price down by a third to $228.

While WH-1000XM4's are geared toward music and video playback, it's worth noting that this isn't really a gaming headset--although it can be used as one. Sony doesn't guarantee their use for PlayStation 4 or PS5, according to their support account. They can connect to TVs and stereo systems, however, making these specifically a good pick for single-player gaming use.

There are lots of other headphone sales for Prime Day, so if these don't strike your fancy, check out our list of the best Prime Day gaming headset deals. The Amazon festivities have also spread across the internet, with the retail giant's competitors slashing their prices to compete, so be sure to get a load of our best Prime Day deals rundown.

Company Of Heroes 3 Gets November Release Date And North African Operation

1 year 10 months ago

Relic Entertainment and Sega announced today that Company of Heroes 3 will release on Steam on November 17, 2022. An free-to-play, Pre-Alpha mission will preview a new campaign and the game's new features.

Alongside the release date, a second single-player campaign was revealed: the North African Operation. In contrast to the previously announced Italian Dynamic Campaign, the North African Operation is a more traditional RTS campaign, offering up a set of missions rather than branching paths. With it also comes new mechanics, like tank riding, side armor, and enemy vehicle recovery, alongside new units, like the Guastatori combat engineers and the L6/40 Light Tank. More broadly, the Company of Heroes 3 will launch with both the aforementioned single-player modes, multiplayer, and four playable factions.

If you are interested in trying it out, you can sign up for developer Relic’s community feedback program on the Company of Heroes website. This Mission Alpha will put players in control of the Deutsches Afrikakorps as they try to defend their positions from the British. If you’ve already signed up for any of the previous Pre-Alpha builds, Mission Alpha will automatically appear in your Steam library. It will be available to play on Steam from July 12 to July 19.

Company of Heroes is a storied RTS franchise, with the original title launching way back in 2006. Since then it has received a sequel, numerous expansions, and even a mobile port.

Get $20 Off The mClassic Upscaler For Amazon Prime Day

1 year 10 months ago

Playing older consoles on new TVs can be a hassle for many reasons, but one of the worst is that they don’t look good. Even newer devices that max out at HD resolutions like the Nintendo Switch will look fuzzy on large 4K or 1440p displays, and retro consoles will often be too blurry to play (if they can even connect to the TV in the first place).

However, an HDMI upscaler like Marseille’s mClassic can solve all these problems.

You’d normally spend $99 for the mClassic, but it's on sale for just $79 during Prime Day. That’s a pretty good deal for this simple dongle that can make your old and under-powered gaming devices look better.

While the mClassic is a cool accessory for anyone playing games on newer displays, no device is perfect, and upscalers and video converters may slightly distort your game's visuals. Color accuracy and washed out contrast are the most common issues, but the average player probably won’t notice these nitpicks, and it’s rarely bad enough to ruin the experience. Sure, nothing beats playing older devices on a CRT, but the mClassic is a great option for playing on your living room TV.

Company of Heroes 3 Release Date Revealed

1 year 10 months ago

Nearly a year after Relic Entertainment and Sega announced Company of Heroes 3, the next entry in the beloved World War II real-time strategy series finally has a release date. Today, Relic Entertainment revealed that CoH3 is set to release on November 17, 2022.

According to a press release, the game will have four playable factions and two separate campaigns at launch: the more open-ended Italian Dynamic Campaign and the focused, narrative-based North African Operation.

These campaigns will also introduce players to new mechanics, including "side armor, enemy vehicle recovery and vehicle-towing, which lets you reposition your hard-hitting artillery like the German Flak 36 and British 17-Pounder."

While the game won't be out until November, Relic Entertainment is now promoting its community feedback program, which gives players the opportunity to test part of the North African Operation campaign, titled Mission Alpha. The mission, which is also free on Steam starting today until July 19, follows the "Deutsches Afrikakorps (DAK) as they attempt to repel the British from their entrenched positions."
