If you've been playing the Outriders demo since it came out last week, you may have picked up on an annoyance: loading cutscenes. The third-person looter shooter game from People Can Fly (Bulletstorm, Gears of War: Judgment) plays a short cutscene whenever you want to move to a new area. These cutscenes show everything from a character opening a door to climbing a ledge. They include a full fade to black opening before playing the cutscene, then another fade to black before you get back into the action. These cutscenes sometimes border on the hilarious. One I noticed while playing saw my character perform a dramatic jump across a broken bridge: Not sure I need a cutscene for that jump, Outriders pic.twitter.com/djZ25EyHhO — Wesley Yin-Poole (@wyp100) February 28, 2021 This content is hosted on an external platform, which will only display it if you accept targeting cookies.

Intel Rocket Lake is coming into orbit and will touch down at the end of the month, bringing with it improved performance and support for PCI Express 4.0. To take advantage of the latter, you won't necessarily need a new motherboard. MSI, for example, has confirmed that its full stack of Z490 motherboards will be getting PCIe 4.0 support with Intel's 11th Gen Rocket Lake chips. The minor caveat is that you will need to update the BIOS to unlock PCIe 4.0. That's not a big deal if you're aiming to replace your Comet Lake CPU with an 11th Gen Core desktop processor without also upgrading your motherboard, because you would need to update the BIOS anyway. "To be PCIe 4.0 compatible, several components on the motherboards are necessary, including PCIe 4.0 ready clock generator, lane switch, redriver, PCIe slots, and M.2 connectors. Thanks to the complete PCIe 4.0 solutions, MSI Z490 motherboards provide the most stable design for PCIe 4.0 and unlock the full performance of PCIe 4.0 … [Read more...] about All of MSI’s Z490 motherboards are gaining PCIe 4.0 support with Rocket Lake

Star Wars has long been about clear polar opposites. Sith and Jedi. Scruffy smugglers and high royalty. Yoda and Yaddle. But, unlike most conflicts in a galaxy far, far away, the loose threads in The Mandalorian are colored in several shades of gray. One of those is the fate of the Darksaber . For now, Din Djarin holds the legendary Mandalore weapon – but maybe not for long. One of those looking to claim it is Bo-Katan , and the actor behind the character, Katee Sackhoff, has reflected on Bo-Katan's ambiguous alignment in The Mandalorian season 2 , and might have even teased a little on what we can expect from her in the show’s future. Speaking to Polygon , Sackhoff hinted that Bo-Katan is a mystery whose motivations still need unraveling – potentially in The Mandalorian season 3 . "You don’t really know what she’s thinking, or where she lands, or if you’re supposed to like her or trust her," Sackhoff said. Bo-Katan’s initial appearance laid out her motivations in … [Read more...] about The Mandalorian actor Katee Sackhoff addresses whether Bo-Katan is a hero or a villain

When it comes to crossover grudge matches, they literally don’t come much bigger than Godzilla vs. Kong. The latest in the MonsterVerse franchise sees the two iconic Titans going head-to-head and duking it out for supremacy, in a culmination of the events that have been building since 2014’s Godzilla reboot, and the Vietnam-era Kong: Skull Island . Directed by Adam Wingard (You’re Next, The Guest), Godzilla vs. Kong is one of the first new blockbusters to emerge that wasn’t advertised before the pandemic, and it arrives in US cinemas and on HBO Max at the end of this month (with a UK date to be determined). Below, you can see exclusive new images from the film courtesy of our sister publication Total Film magazine , which features Godzilla vs. Kong on its upcoming cover. As well as two shots of the creatures battling it out, there’s also a new look at human characters Madison (Millie Bobby Brown, returning from King of the Monsters), Josh (Julian Dennison), and Bernie … [Read more...] about Godzilla and Kong face off in these exclusive images from the MonsterVerse clash

Fall Guys developer Mediatonic has been scooped up Epic Games, as part of the Fortnite and Unreal Engine developer's acquisition of the Tonic Games Group . Announcing the deal on its website , Mediatonic called the move a "huge win for Fall Guys", claiming that joining Epic "will accelerate our plans to improve the game and bring Fall Guys to as many players as possible, while continuing to support the community."
