Ivory Tower returns to serve up another slice of sandbox racing with The Crew 2, and this time, you can tame the roads, skies, and rivers of its open world take on the US. But how good does The Crew 2 look on PC, and how does it run on a variety of rigs?
While commandeering planes, trains (alright, boats), and automobiles can be a hoot, the sheer scale of its world means visual compromises are to be expected. What we’re here to find out is just how big those concessions are, while also examining potential performance hiccups.

In this performance review we’ll be using a high-end rig with an Nvidia GTX 1080 TI to put Ubisoft’s racer through its paces at both 1080p and 4K across all graphics presets. As this machine has been assembled to run games at 2160p, we have also tested the game on a rig line with what the majority of PC players use, based on the findings of the . Graphics Options

The Legacy of a Whitetail Deer Hunter is the upcoming Netflix Original comedy movie from the team behind the shows Vice Principals and Eastbound & Down. Buck Ferguson (Josh Brolin), famous for hunting whitetail deer, plans a special episode of his hunting show around a bonding weekend with his estranged son, Jaden (Montana Jordan).  With trusted - but hapless - cameraman and friend Don (Danny McBride) in tow, Buck sets out for what soon becomes an unexpectedly epic adventure of father-son reconnection in the great outdoors.

Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of Dana comes to Nintendo Switch, bringing the DLC content of the PlayStation 4 version with the technical hiccups of the PC version.

WTMG's Leo Faria: "I'm glad Call of Cthulhu is slowly but gradually leaving development hell. Despite some concerns regarding the visuals, I liked what I saw gameplay-wise. There's a lot of potential here, this can easily be the spiritual successor to Eternal Darkness we've been waiting for."

EB: A Plague Tale: Innocence should definitely be on your radar if youre into third person action/adventure games that weave in stealth and puzzle gameplay tropes. You should also check it out if you just want to experience a new take on the genre by having kids as the leads in a very mature and depressing setting. I think this game has all of the ingredients to be a special experience in 2019 when it releases for PC, Xbox One, and PS4.

The director of Square Enix’s Final Fantasy VII remake says he feels that the game was announced “too early.” Game director Tetsuya Nomura addressed fan disappointment after formation about the game was not revealed at E3 earlier this month.
The remake of Final Fantasy VII was first announced over three years ago, at E3 2015. Since then, despite a warm reception and plenty of fan enthusiasm for the project, Square Enix are yet to provide any new information about the game's release. On top of that, it’s now been three years since that initial reveal - three E3 showcases have come and gone, and fans are yet to hear anything more.

In an interview with Italian website (via ), Nomura said that “I am well aware of the fact that we announced [the game] too early,” saying that “even in the industry, word was beginning to spread that we were working on the game, so we just decided not to keep it more secret and officially reveal it.”

Nomura also stated that he felt that his other project, Kingdom Hearts 3, had been announced too early as well. However, new information that came out about that project at E3 earlier this month could mean that FFVII is currently in development alongside KH3.

Nomura went on to talk about the difficulty attached to announcing games, stating that “deciding when to announce your game to the public is always difficult. In our case, we receive pressure from the fans even when we do not announce anything.”

This story has been updated with fresh information from CD Projekt Red.
Cyberpunk 2077 might have been one of the most visually striking games to hit our eyeballs during E3 2018, but the latest build is running smoothly on current-gen PC hardware. CD Projekt Red has detailed the rig it ran the gameplay demo on behind closed doors, but despite demo-ing the game on a 4K TV, it has now confirmed it was only rendering at 1080p.
Cyberpunk 2077 was easily one of the standout games from E3, and we’ve been waiting for more details of CD Projekt Red’s next RPG masterpiece since it dropped the original teaser bomb way back in 2013. But not only did we get a great new trailer, our Matt got behind the scenes to sit in on an hour of proper gameplay on PC too.

And yet CD Projekt Red has confirmed it’s both shooting for a current-gen release and that its stunning demo was running on pretty standard PC gaming hardware.
On the CDPR junior community specialist, Alicja Kozera, confirmed the demo was running on an at stock speeds, with 32GB of DDR4 memory, and an

We've contacted Ubisoft to see if there's a timeline on when the issue will be resolved, and they provided us with the following statement: “We're aware of an issue where some players are not able to access their Steam preorder of The Crew 2.
