Super Mario 64 is a classic 3D platformer that came out on Nintendo 64. This Mario game was locked at 30fps and while some emulator could run the game with 60fps, they had incorrect/bugged physics. Thankfully, Kaze Emanuar released a new romhack/mod for Super Mario 64 that allows gamers to finally experience it with 60fps and proper physics.

Here's a look at all the new Destiny 2: Forsaken supers

Wed, 4 Jul 2018 13:43:57 +0000

Ahead of the launch of the upcoming expansion, Destiny 2: Forsaken, Bungie has revealed all of the new super abilities heading to their game. There’s one new super for every subclass of Titans, Warlocks, and Hunters, meaning everyone has a brand new ability to use against the enemies that feature in the update.
Speaking of enemies, the update adds a new faction in the form of the Scorn. There’s also new exotic weapons, a new map for upcoming mode Gambit, and plenty more hidden away in the expansion, which is set to launch later this year.

Check out our list of the on PC.
Courtesy of (via ) we now know what exactly each of those nine new supers will do. They’re a pretty mad bunch, with fire tornadoes and void explosions and electricity bolts and all sorts. That’s not too surprising though - not only do you need something to help turn the tide in your fight against new enemies the Scorn, but Bungie need something to encourage some of Destiny’s lapsed players back to the game.
Anyway, on to those supers. Titan Strikers have Banner Shield, which absorbs enemy attacks. Sunbreakers get a siege hammer, creating a flaming maul that leaves flame tornadoes where it lands. Strikers get Thundercrash, allowing them to leap enormous distances and hit a targeted area like a missile strike.

A Way Out dev's next game will be published by EA - "nobody f***s with the vision"

Wed, 4 Jul 2018 11:19:00 +0000

Josef Fares, game director of Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons and prison-break adventure A Way Out, has confirmed that he will once again partner with Electronic Arts for the development of his next game. Fares, who made headlines earlier this year for his expletive-filled speech at The Game Awards, says Hazelight Studios has been working on the new title for a few weeks.

A Way Out was published as part of EA Originals, the company’s indie program. It’s not entirely clear whether or not the new title will be published under that label, or the partnership has changed in the wake of Hazelight’s success with A Way Out.
Check out our list of the best on PC.
In an interview with , Fares stated that “yeah, we’re with EA. It’s no problem. It’s super-good support. I don’t care what publisher I work with, it’s going to be the same. This is how I work: I respect the economical aspect but nobody fucks with the vision - it’s very, very important. And they know it at EA now, and they’re super supportive.” Fares spoke recently about just , which likely helped this new partnership develop.
Fares announced that he was working on a new game on back in April. Understandably, that means that Hazelight are “just in the early pre-production stuff,” but should “go full production” later this summer. Don’t expect to see the new game anytime soon though, as Fares says “maybe in two or three years we [sic] show something.”

Intel confirms, and then hides, 8 new 9000-series Coffee Lake CPUs for release this year

Wed, 4 Jul 2018 11:10:19 +0000

In multiple publicly available documents Intel has confirmed the existence of 9000-series Coffee Lake desktop processors, but in a predictable fit of chronic shyness, it has either now nixed access to those pdfs or erased any mention of the new CPUs from them.
The new 9000-series Core i5 processors popped up in a new processor microcode update document, where it added five new chips (including one overclockable K-series CPU) in the product name section under the Coffee Lake S code name. Intel also published a secondary document detailing the identification information for all the Coffee Lake processors and added in a pair of new Core i3 chips to the mix too.
If you’re after a new chip now, these are the today.
Now, probably down to its general reluctance to talk openly about unreleased product, Intel has rid the world wide web of any reference to the 9000-series chips, at least from any official Intel source. Luckily there are a host of sites out there who snapshotted the docs so we don’t miss out.
is one such site and has both docs plain to see. Interestingly the official documents only reference the Core i5 and Core i3 versions of the upcoming refresh, but this isn’t the first time we’ve heard about the new processors.

Fallout 76: You Can't Get Killed If You're Under Level 5, But You Sure Can Fast Travel

Wed, 4 Jul 2018 10:33:51 +0000

From GameWatcher: "There has been some concern among the Fallout fans about the upcoming offshoot of the core series: Fallout 76. In particular, we know for a fact that there will be no singleplayer as such, and we know that there will be no human NPCs either. Bethesda have explained that Fallout 76 is an experimental experience - something different to keep things fresh. With that, we also know that Fallout 76 is going to be a survival multiplayer game first and foremost, with DNA from the likes of Rust and ARK: Survival Evolved."

When is the Cyberpunk 2077 release date? CD Projekt Red revealed loads of Cyberpunk 2077 trailers and gameplay info at E3 2018 - here are all the latest details.
For years we waited with no sign of a new Cyberpunk 2077 trailer and gameplay details, but CD Projekt Red has revealed masses of new details on the upcoming futuristic RPG, and all at once. Their huge E3 2018 demo showed that Cyberpunk 2077 is the answer to perhaps the biggest game development question of the decade: how do you follow up something like The Witcher 3?

While we wait for CD Projekt Red’s next masterpiece, check out the adventures you could be having in the meantime with our list of the .

We Happy Few's Australian sales ban has been overturned

Wed, 4 Jul 2018 09:51:53 +0000

Update, May 24: We Happy Few will be sold in Australia, following an appeal to overturn a ban by the country's classification board.
We Happy Few's Australian sales ban has been overturned following a successful appeal by the game's publisher, Gearbox. The game was initially refused classification in Australia due to its portrayal of drug use - We Happy Few tasks you with surviving without use of the fictional hallucinogenic drug Joy, which NPCs take to attempt to forget a shared trauma.
In a statement, developer Compulsion said that the game "explores a range of modern themes," and offers a "social commentary no different than Aldous Huxley's Brave New World or Terry Gilliam's Brazil."
Not able to play We Happy Few? Here are what we think are the .
In their , the Australian Classification Board stated that a three-member panel had unanimously determined that the game can be classified as R18+, allowing it to be sold in the country. The panel determined that the game's interactive drug use did not exceed 'high' levels, and that the game will be sold with a consumer advice label confirming its "fantasy violence and interactive drug use."
According to a statement provided to (the statement in its entirety contains some minor story spoilers), the ACB initially stated that "in the board's opinion, the game's drug-use mechanic making game progression less difficult constitutes an incentive or reward for drug-use and therefore, the game exceeds the R 18+ classification that states, 'drug use related to incentives and rewards is not permitted',

Fortnite's rifts have swallowed up the Tomato Town mascot

Wed, 4 Jul 2018 09:00:00 +0000

Update, July 4: The Fortnite rifts are growing. R.I.P. Tomato Town mascot
Fortnite fans will be acutely aware that there’s an enormous, reality-defying rift hovering in the sky above the game. Since it appeared on Saturday afternoon, that initial rift has grown, and a separate crack has splintered off from the main fissure.
But as well as those huge cracks in the sky, other, smaller rifts are appearing across Fortnite's map. One showed up at Motel, while another formed at Lonely Lodge, swallowing up the sign welcoming players to the rural site on the eastern edge of the map.
Check out our list of the on PC.
Now, a third rift has appeared, this time at Tomato Town. The small location is arguably most 'famous' for its enormous pizzeria, which I struggle to believe can have been a sustinable business. There's just one house in Tomato Town, but that building is serviced by a gas station, a Taco shop, and the biggest damn pizza place you've ever seen. On its roof, the restaurant features an enormous statue of its mascot, a smiling anthropomorphic tomato. Or at least, it used to.

The Rift has swallowed Tomatohead whole, leaving an empty plinth where the fruity mascot used to dwell. It's a sad sight, and one that players have quickly turned into a memorial, with several peaceful gatherings taking place overnight. You can check out a before and after of the restaurant in the tweet below.

The 10 best stealth games on PC

Wed, 4 Jul 2018 08:49:00 +0000

Stealth games occupy a curious niche in PC gaming. Occasionally, the best stealth games are their own thing, a result of a developer channelling all of the mechanics of a game into the suspense and satisfaction of killing, stealing, and infiltrating unnoticed. Most of the time, though, stealth is just one of several means by which you can navigate a game, as you consciously opt for the path of the shadowy rogue or incisive assassin over more forceful approaches.
Any game that features stealth is eligible for our best stealth games list, but it needs to do it damn well (sorry Skyrim, you had your chance. Sorry Assassin’s Creed, you had about 20 chances).
For those moments when you get spotted and your impotent rage boils over, try the PC's .
The best stealth games highlight that neat joy of entering a space and leaving it unchanged except for the briefcase you were told to extract, or that one person who was your target now laying dead without anyone having noticed - the alarms going off at the precise moment you coolly walk away from the scene undetected. Nothing beats the thrill of doing things on the down-low.
Here are the ten best stealth games on PC:
