Fans of Nier: Automata have been waiting for 4 years to improve the textures of their favorite game, which takes place on our planet, that is conquered by warrior-robots. The indirect sequel to NIER that was released in 2017 has gained considerable popularity among gamers of different platforms. However, the game initially had some drawbacks, including excessive blurring. GPUnity modder’s work on improving textures began almost simultaneously with the game release. His goal was not a global change in graphics with the destruction of the author's idea, but a simple improvement of textures, at least in places where they had absolutely low resolution. According to the author of the HD texture pack, he tried to change only the elements that spoiled the overall impression of the game and were a fly in the ointment. In order to eliminate this nuisance, the modder added about 300 new textures, including some fonts changes. Now that such a long work on Nier: Automa...

Apex Legends players have discovered a bug that does not play into their hands at all. After the next update, which was released in March this year, players began to notice that they often have to play without a team at all. The developers of Apex Legends have already tried to include a solo mode in it, but they did not get much success because the main emphasis here is on teamwork. This feature sets Apex Legends apart from other similar games that focus more on battle royale. However, some enthusiasts liked the single-player experiment. But could this bug satisfy all the desires of these enthusiasts? Unlikely. On the contrary, users say that after repeated games alone, they begin to feel that the game hates them. Respawn Entertainment is aware of the bug but has yet to fix it. Director of Communications Ryan Rigney cannot express his disappointment in words. He admitted that this mistake drives him crazy since no one has the patience for it. All the fixes that th...

Valheim recently entered the market in Early Access mode, but it already has over 5 million players. Survival simulator has gained popularity due to many factors, such as realistic mechanics or procedural map generation. One of the most influential factors is a huge number of unofficial mods for the game. Iron Gate Studio, the developer of Valheim, hasn't announced official support of mods, but that doesn't stop the community from creating extremely ambitious projects. Among the most successful are the “Valheim Legend” RPG mod, which adds 6 playable classes with unique skills, and a first-person view switch mode (the original version of the game uses a third-person view). The latest such creation is VHVR - a mod that implements a VR for the game. At the moment, the modification is still in the early stages of development, but players can already use VR glasses for the game. Unfortunately, motion controllers are yet to be suppo...

Hello Games, developer of No Man's Sky, has announced the forthcoming release of a global Expedition update. The extension contains many changes, from minor bug fixes to the introduction of a new game mode. Perhaps the biggest improvement will be Expedition. It is a new game mode, the fourth one after Normal, Creative, and Survival. Its highlight is the systematic journey inside the gaming universe. Players now start on a random planet with random equipment. Unlike other modes, this one gives the user a defined route of planets' exploration. Also, in order to complete the Expedition, you need to clear a variety of missions, including the search for animals or the colonization of worlds. The players' paths will diverge quite often, but they will intersect again on special "rendezvous" planets. Other than some quality time, Expeditions are interesting for their rewards. Successful playthroughs unlock access to commemorative patc...

During the Ubisoft Forward conference, the developers announced a remake of Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, the legendary action game. The release is scheduled for January 11, 2021.   Information about a possible remake has leaked a little earlier than the official release - the day before the conference, a video appeared in the Russian version of the Uplay store in which the old game received a new look. Then the Persian symbols were found in the Ubisoft Forward ad, and finally, at the conference itself, the company confirmed the fan's guess and announced the remake’s release. According to them, Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Remake is not a reboot or a remaster. The developers did not touch the level design, the general plot, and other details familiar to many since childhood - precisely in order to preserve nostalgia for those people, but on the other hand, they completely re-recorded all in-game dialogues, reworked the combat system, and updated the character m...
