It's out now, alongside another free game update called The Pen.
So you can do consistent flurry rushes in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, huh? Big whoop. Arguably, you’re not even playing the same game as the BotW fans who have mastered the combat well beyond Nintendo’s intended gameplay.
Today DCS World developer Eagle Dynamics released the early access version of its newest major module, the Mi-24 Hind.
As you’ve seen in previous videos the infamous Soviet attack helicopter features great simulation depth even in this in-progress stage.
It can be purchased at the developer’s own store for $55.99.
In the meanwhile, you can enjoy the trailer below. One thing is for sure: Eagle Dynamics really knows how to make epic trailers.
Here’s what you can expect from the Hind:

Well, take heart, because Microsoft is planning on making its slate of next-gen games…
Some games stop you in your tracks the moment you first see them. Titles such as Sable, Solar Ash, and Cris Tales have such unique visual styles, but none more so than Tunic. Solo developer Andrew Shouldice has set out to create a memorable ode to the 2D Zelda titles of the past, but that's far from painting a full picture of this gorgeous new action title.
As part of the ID@Xbox Demo Event for this year, the house of Master Chief has rolled out a ton of new playable experiences featuring some of the most exciting indies coming out in 2021 and beyond.

I don't know the first thing about breaking into safes, or what the fiddly inner bits of a combo lock look like. So I've already learned a lot from Sophie's Safecracking Simulator from looking at its screenshots without even playing it. Fans of fiddly games should listen close on this one. Safecracking Simulator has just arrived on Steam and it's a neat little tech toy to snag for less than a fiver.
While there was plenty to get excited about in Nintendo's busy E3 showcase, one notable absence came in the form of No More Heroes 3 - the latest entry in developer Grasshopper Manufacture's cult-classic action-adventure series - which is coming to Switch in just a few short months. However, Nintendo has now made up for that no-show, sharing 20 minutes of new gameplay in a special Nintendo Treehouse livestream.
Announced back in 2019, No More Heroes 3 - which is set nine years after the events of No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle and two years after Travis Strikes Again - once again casts players as otaku and sometime-assassin Travis Touchdown. However, while previous games saw Travis murdering his way to the top of the United Assassins Association league, this third series entry ushers in a new threat, with players now charged with eliminating extraterrestrial enemies in order to reach number one in the Galactic Superhero Rankings.
As seen in Nintendo's new "early look" at No More Heroes 3, the series' wonderfully satisfying hack-and-slash action - built around Travis' lightsaber-like Beam Katana - makes a return, with no obvious surprises where core mechanics are concerned. Players will again need to combine the likes of basic moves, heavy moves, kicks, blocks, and rolls to defeat enemies (motion controls are optional) with the likes of finishers and jackpot bonuses also returning.
Past Zelda games designed items as keys for situational locks, but the items in Breath of the Wild offer a kind of refreshing versatility not seen in the series before. ...

Yesterday, Fortnite announced a “Concept Royale” competition.

One game which caught my eye during all of the E3 everything is one I'm apparently late to notice: surreal RPG She Dreams Elsewhere.

It all starts with a turbine.
Amidst hundreds of tiles that comprise a grey, lifeless wasteland, I place a turbine on a rocky outcrop. It allows me to create electricity to power toxin scrubbers to cleanse the dirt, and irrigators to cause lush green grass and shrubbery to sprout up across the tiles with a satisfying cascading animation. In Terra Nil, you’re trying to undo all the damage you’ve been contributing towards in various city building sims, and it’s one of the most satisfying I’ve played as a result.
Terra Nil is a city-building sim in reverse. You start with a scrap of wasteland and are then tasked with rejuvenating it. Each structure you build has its own requirements, which can range from placing it on water, being in close proximity to a turbine for power, or needing to be placed on a certain tile.
For the most part during this rejuvenation process, each structure you place brings an instantly satisfying change to your lifeless world. A toxin scrubber turning the soil from a dull grey-brown to a healthy dark brown, ready to be occupied by lush green grass, or the way water speeds through waterways after placing a water pump for the first time. Bringing life to this blank, depressing canvas is a ton of fun, and you’re free to experiment with excavators to create new waterways, or calcifiers to convert grassy tiles to rocks so you can place more turbines to power your green revolution.
Don't go setting your sights on that big summer sale just yet. Keep your wallet in your pocket because Steam Next Fest just kicked off. That means for the next week you'll be able to download and try free demos for all manner of upcoming games on Steam. It's a huge collection, as past Steam demo bonanzas have been, with over 700 game demos to choose from this time. It's just launched, so here are a couple quick picks to get you started.
The developer of DMC: Peak of Combat, the mobile Devil May Cry game, is working on a global release that will appear in English and other languages.
The post DMC: Peak of Combat English Global Release Confirmed appeared first on Siliconera.
I am smitten! Terra Nil has rocked my world. And I tell you what: I would never have expected it from the maker of BroForce. I love that game dearly, but it's a reckless action game where heroes tear pixelated lands apart. This, on the other hand, Terra Nil, is a serene game about restoring them.
It's a sort of city-building game. "Sort of" because you don't actually want people to come and live in what you create. You want nature to. You want birds and bees and animals to repopulate what begins as a scorched piece of Earth. A barren wasteland, earth cracked, trees dead. Nothing lives here. But with your futuristic array of environmental machines, you can change that.
These machines slowly enable you to transform the land. For instance: your first lesson is to build a wind turbine for power, then a soil cleansing machine to make some land fertile. Then, you greenify the land with another machine, growing grass, bushes and trees. And when you do this, you earn a leaf-resource to buy more things with.
Each time it starts with questions - but each time they're different questions. First trip, when I'm watching a movie, what do I watch for? Do I want to be scared? To learn something? To feel something? Second trip, when I travel, do I travel alone or with friends? With family?
I love the idea of a procedural road-trip, but I am also wary. Surely that web of uniqueness is either ready to overwhelm or disappoint. One way, I'm frozen with the sheer number of options. The other, the only thing unique was that I had apple pie instead of cherry pie, or I travelled in a tractor instead of a station wagon.
Road 96 is a bit of a revelation, then. Even now, and even in demo form, albeit a generous, replayable demo that gives you a decent idea of how things work and what you're getting into. The setting is always the same - summer 1996, in a tinpot dictatorship that looks an awful lot like America. A sham election is on the way and the despot is likely to get in. Young people are fleeing to the border - but how will they get across the wall?
Years ago there was a lovely rumour going around about Battlezone, the vector-based tank-'em-up that brought a fragile futuristic beauty to arcades everywhere. The rumour was pretty simple: see that volcano in the distance? You can go inside it. And then drive around and stuff. Honest.
Not honest, obviously. But the Battlezone rumour made total sense because this straight-ahead world of digital tanks and digital warfare was so bewitching in its sparseness, so fiercely writable. You saw the volcano and you wanted to believe you could get inside it. And then drive around! And stuff!
Don't say and stuff. Anyway, Nuke Zone is here as part of Steam's Next Fest demo event. It's a tank game by Blue Wizard Digital, a company that has plenty of lovely Popcap DNA in it. And it's taking the vector disco aesthetic of Battlezone and the idea of digital tanks that rip into other digital tanks. And maybe it will bring a certain rumour back to life - in a new way.
Rockstar Games announced that it will shut down the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 versions of its wildly successful Grand Theft Auto Online. If you’re a GTA Online player tearing up Los Santos on those platforms, mark December 16 as the final day you can log in.
The shutdown also means that stat tracking for those versions of the game will disappear from the Rockstar Games Social Club. Additionally, Shark Cash cards can no longer be sold for PS3 and Xbox 360 after September 15. Rockstar's FAQ explains that players will not be able to transfer character progress to current versions of GTA Online before the shutdown since no such feature exists. You also cannot transfer or refund virtual currency/goods since those are platform-specific. Rockstar stressed that the shutdown will not impact players' ability to play Grand Theft Auto V’s story mode or effect their existing progress there.
We all knew that the minute more Breath of the Wild 2 footage was shown, the community would take to YouTube to unearth all the little secrets hidden in the latest trailer. And, of course, those trailer breakdowns did happen. Moreover, of all the interesting theories out there, one has soared above the rest because of how downright compelling it is: what if we’ll actually be playing as Ganondorf the whole time in Breath of the Wild 2?
This game will be learning about the fall of Ganondorf the man and then saving him from the evil that has been ruling over him for generations. And in doing so, we’ll break the cycle started by Demise.
Whether we do that as Zelda or Link, I’m still unsure. pic.twitter.com/0EKgGLl609
