What’s a Xûr?

Xûr, Agent of the Nine, is a strange vendor who randomly appears in a Public Sector on one of the Worlds. Xûr sells Exotic equipment (as well as Engrams and Legendary equipment), and only accepts Legendary Shards as payment.

TL;DR: He’s the Santa of Destiny and every weekend’s Christmas. Sometimes he brings you what you want; sometimes he brings you coal. Mostly it’s coal.

When does Xûr visit?

Xûr returns every Friday at 17:00 UTC and departs at Weekly Reset (Tuesday 17:00 UTC). If you would like to see all the live conversions of Time Zones, please follow this link here.

(Thanks as always, /r/DestinyTheGame!)

No Man’s Sky Next Update Echoes Teased in 7th Anniversary Video

  by   Vitor Braz  
12:47 pm in News

Developer Hello Games is proudly looking back into seven eventful years since the release of No Man’s Sky in August 2016, a game that went through all the motions. Going forward, the studio has starting teasing the future of the game, with the title of the next update being Echoes.

The video below was posted in Hello Games’ official YouTube channel and shows a fast montage of the many updates, which ended up turning an underwhelming launch into the game that it was promised to be. The video includes a note on the Switch and Mac releases, and ends with the unassuming but very exciting message for fans “Our journey continues…” before fading into a No Man’s Sky Echoes logo.

There are no details or release date on the No Man’s Sky Echoes update at all, for now, apart from the logo seen in the video above and a very vague “coming soon.” No Man’s Sky updates always bought some interesting additions into this sci-fi adventure, so players are naturally eager to learn more about the features coming with this expansion.

The Texas Chain Saw Massacre Best Settings Guide

  by   Vitor Braz  
10:27 am in News

The Texas Chain Saw Massacre game by Gun Interactive isn’t one for the weak, delivering a terrifying thrill ride that changes accordingly to which side you are on. Rarely have sound and sight played such an important role in a game, and that’s why this The Texas Chain Saw Massacre best settings guide for PC and consoles will help you make the right choices and optimize the options to achieve the greatest comfort during play. Check our recommendations below and Victim or Family, you are certainly going to ramp up your game.

Audio

The Texas Chain Saw Massacre Best Settings Guide Audio

The Texas Chain Saw Massacre is all about audio cues, triggering noise, and the deafening silence that goes along with it. You’ll want to optimize this area to the utmost, providing a great experience where you are aware of every noise made by the opposing team, while also knowing how silently you are moving around the maps. Since this game requires absolute concentration, headphones with a great sound quality and background noise reduction are entirely recommended – this is how you will listen to every step, every scary chain saw revving sound at the distance, giving you an opportunity to prevent an encounter. Naturally, sound effects are the most important, so dial down the music and focus on the environment.

Then we have the voice chat function, which isn’t a consensual one. It allows for team-based chat, meaning that Victims and Family can’t communicate between themselves, but it doesn’t work as a spatial or proximity chat, unfortunately. In terms of immersion, the ideal scenario is that every player has the voice chat feature turned off, but since we know everyone loves to win, using voice chat is a great help as it lets you coordinate with your teammates for help in healing, using items, escaping (Victims) or to make sure a Victim is surrounded with no escape route (Family).

Video

The Texas Chain Saw Massacre Best Settings Guide Video

Here is a beautiful and immersive horror game where lighting and shadows may give you that last second warning over the presence of a rival player. So, you’ll want to run the game with the best graphical settings possible in some of the options – but don’t worry, you can tone a few of them down (PC) if your hardware can’t handle all the beautiful and bloody sights.

Our recommendation is that you turn the settings to Ultra where it really matters, which is things that provide you the best experience and eventually advantage over other players. View Distance is one of those options, and Shadows is the other one. You also want to push Foliage to Ultra since you will spend a long time hiding in the vegetation and it pays to be completely sure that you are indeed in hiding, and not a single bit of your head is popping out and giving your position away.

Other options like Effects and Anti-Aliasing can be tweaked according to your preferences, as long as it doesn’t affect the frame rate and overall performance. Naturally, PC players should go for Full Screen Mode, as this will shift the most resources to the game and make it run the best it can.

Vsync is also recommended to be turned on so your game runs at a matched refresh rate as your monitor/tv.

Last but not least, Brightness. When you first run The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, you are asked to calibrate it, but it’s only while playing that you discover just how right these settings are for you. In all honestly, this is a game that is meant to have some extremely dark and chilling areas, so you shouldn’t mess too much with brightness for the sake of immersion; but if you are aiming for those wins, there’s nothing that we can say to prevent you from boosting clarity just a bit, right?

Input

The Texas Chain Saw Massacre Best Settings Guide Input

This option is up to player preference, with the default choices sounding like a good deal. See if the default mouse sensitivity is comfortable for you, and learn the ins and outs of the controls for Victims, Family, and Leatherface, as there are some significant differences between them.

Game

The Texas Chain Saw Massacre Best Settings Guide Game

The last options for you to check involve some general choices, from subtitles to language selection. Anonymizing player names may give you an immersion boost, but this being a very competitive game, it’s important to know who is who in the heat of the moment. Vibration Intensity is hugely important as it gives you vital gameplay clues, and Cross Play is something you want to have enabled so that players from both PC and consoles can play together, guaranteeing that the matchmaking is quick and balanced due to the larger player base. Of course turning it off would lower the chances of running into a cheater/hacker for console players, though that comes at the cost of potentially longer queue times.

This is all we have in our The Texas Chain Saw Massacre best settings guide, hopefully it helps you optimize your game to the max. Don’t forget to read our The Texas Chain Saw Massacre review to learn more about Gun Interactive and Sumo Digital’s asymmetrical multiplayer horror game.

The Texas Chain Saw Massacre launches on August 18, 2023 for PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Xbox One, and is a day-one Xbox Game Pass release. Read our exclusive interview to know more on topics such as bots, potential crossovers, and more.

  by   Alex Co  
5:29 am in News

Football fans, if you’re having issues connecting to matches or access online features in Madden 24, it’s not just you, as EA has taken the Madden 24 servers down this August 18, which is the second time this week that servers had maintenance work done.

In addition to that, we’ve also compiled the Madden 24 known issues at launch.

Madden 24 Down for Server Maintenance August 18 Schedule:

Here’s the announcement from EA:

As you can see, there is no timeframe on how long the servers will be out. However, if we had to hazard a guess, it will be at least 4-6 hours.

While you’re waiting for the servers to go back up, EA has also issued an update on the issues the dev team is tackling as they prepare for the game’s worldwide launch later.

Madden 24 Known Issues at Launch:

Server Connection Error

  • Some players have reported connection issues when trying to enter H2H Seasons or Solo Battles, among other actions while navigating the Ultimate Team menus.
  • This is our priority issue we are actively working to resolve.
    • Workaround: Some players have shared they have been able to bypass this issue by creating a brand new lineup in Ultimate Team.

Headliners House Rules Rewards

  • We are actively working on resolving players not receiving their House Rules rewards from the Headliners Program. Please be sure to follow MaddenNFLDirect for updates.

Headliners Odell Beckham Jr. Token

  • We addressed an issue of a Milestone not rewarding a Token for the Odell Beckham Jr. Headliners Item. Players who have yet to achieve the Milestone will be awarded the Token when they complete it.
  • For players who previously completed this Milestone before the fix was implemented you will be granted the Token. Please be sure to follow MaddenNFLDirect for updates on when the Token grant will be delivered.

Head To Head Seasons Rewards

  • We are investigating an issue where winning Super Bowls in Head To Head Seasons aren’t awarding all earned Trophy Packs. After we resolve this issue, we will be working towards delivering all missed Trophy Packs to any impacted players.
  • Here’s a breakdown of Trophy Packs awarded for winning a Super Bowl per Division:
    • Rookie: 1 Trophy Pack
    • Pro: 1 Trophy Pack
    • Veteran: 1 Trophy Pack
    • Star: 3 Trophy Packs
    • MVP: 3 Trophy Packs
    • Legend: 5 Trophy Packs

Daily Objectives

  • We are aware and investigating an issue with the “Complete All 3 Daily Objectives”
  • We’ll be sure to let you know on MaddenNFLDirect when this objective is live in game.

Don’t be surprised if a launch day patch is released to address some of the issues listed here. Once the servers are back up, we’ll let our readers know.

GameMill Entertainment and AMC have announced a new game set in The Walking Dead franchise titled “The Walking Dead: Destinies.” Destinies is a third-person, narrative-driven, action-adventure title where you get the chance to rewrite the story of seasons 1-4 of the TV show depending on your choices.

Watch The Walking Dead: Destinies reveal trailer (revealed exclusively to IGN) right here:

Step in the shoes of Rick Grimes visiting key locations inspired by The Walking Dead TV show including the Greene farm, the prison, Woodbury, and Atlanta. Make sensible choices because they will determine the fate of people’s lives, and differ you from how the events unfolded in the show.

The Walking Dead: Destinies will retail at a suggested price of $50, and will launch across PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC.

The First Descendant Open Beta Featuring Crossplay Set for Sept. 19, PS5 Features Trailer Revealed

  by   Ibrahim Kabir  
6:34 pm in News

The First Descendant Open Beta has been announced from September 19 through September 25. The First Descendant Open Beta will feature crossplay across PS5, PS4, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.

Other than that, The First Descendant has partnered up with PlayStation to reveal exclusive features that can only be experienced on the PS5. Continue reading to find out about these features and how to sign up for the Open Beta, and watch the next-gen trailer below showcasing some of the features exclusive to PlayStation 5.

4K Resolution:

The First Descendant PS5 version supports 4K resolution and offers in-game performance and fidelity support. It also includes an HDR mode through the fidelity mode.

Meanwhile, the performance mode of up to 60 fps allows smooth gameplay, fast-paced combat, and VRR (variable refresh rates).

Adaptive Triggers

In The First Descendant, each weapon class serves a different purpose, and we reflected the characteristics of each weapon in the adaptive triggers. To make every weapon class feel unique, we set different pressure and intensity values for each of our 11 weapon classes, depending on their usage.

For instance, a light handgun’s adaptive triggers will be lighter than a heavy launcher or a sniper rifle with heavier trigger pressures, each providing a unique experience. Through the adaptive triggers, our Dev team created a much more immersive experience when using weapons.

Haptic Feedback

In addition to the vibrations, it has been designed so that the haptic feedback would work in tandem with your character controls and the environment. Bringing the game to life, haptic feedback can be found throughout the game, such as the direction a boss appears and walks towards, the direction in which you’re attacked when you use a gun, and more.

3D Audio

PlayStation’s 3D Audio does a great job of bringing the world to life. It’s hard to explain the tension you feel when you encounter the sound of a missile passing by a character in 3D Audio during a battle against a mighty giant boss.

To sign up for The First Descendant Crossplay Open Beta, you need to visit this website, select the platform of choice, and enter your email address. Then, Nexon Games will send you an email with further instructions.

Go check out the rewards for the beta and more right here.

The First Descendant is scheduled to release across PS5, PS4, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC at an unknown date.

Dying Light 2 to Introduce DL Points In-Game Currency for Cheaper Skin Bundles

  by   Vitor Braz  
6:06 pm in News

Fans of cool skins for Techland’s post-apocalyptic open-world parkour game Dying Light 2 are in for a treat. The Polish company just announced the introduction of a new in-game currency called DL Points, enabling players to buy skin bundles at a better price than usual. This makes the process faster and without having to exit the game, as you can buy the currency via first-party stores.

The goal of this addition is to gradually move all the Dying Light 2 bundle purchases into the game instead of selling them on multiple outside stores – you can still purchase skins the old way, except for PlayStation Store, where the bundles will be removed upon the launch of DL Points. Naturally, DL Points are optional and playing without them still allows you to enjoy the most of the game, even if you can purchase some weapons with special characteristics.

To celebrate the upcoming release which is scheduled to happen with the next Dying Light 2 update, every player gets 500 DL Points right off the bat. You just have to go to the in-game store from the main menu and claim the free DL Points pack.

Dying Light 2 DL Points FAQ:

  • What are DL Points? DL Points is the in-game currency that allows you to buy skin bundles in Dying Light 2 at a better price and without leaving the game. It will be available to purchase for real money on first-party stores through our in-game store.
  • Do I need DL Points? Only if you have been getting or planning to add some items from our bundles to your armory in your bid for survival! At the same time, they’re not required to make the most out of the game you’ve already purchased. So, if you are not a fan of skin bundles, feel free to ignore them and carry on with your day!
  • Why are you introducing DL Points? This is a straightforward way for you to buy bundles without the need to leave the game. DL Points will also make our lives easier, because we won’t have to set up the bundles on multiple outside stores. And to make it more attractive for you, we will be offering a more beneficial pricing for the majority of the bundles when bought with DL Points.
  • I am happy with how it has worked until now, can I just buy skin bundles the old way? It will be possible to buy existing skin bundles the way you used to before, with the exception of PlayStation Store, where the bundles will be removed upon the launch of DL Points. At the same time, one of our goals with DL Points is to gradually move all the bundles inside the game, so we can reduce the amount of time we spend on maintaining those on various storefronts.
  • I don’t care about skin bundles, when is the next update? And what’s up with DLC2? The next update is in the making! It will offer some of the features you’ve been asking for, like community maps for consoles and more. And that’s not all – we have more than that coming to you by the end of the year, so stay tuned for more cool new things down the road!
    As for DLC2, our commitment to the community remains the same, and this is to deliver the best story expansion possible – but that takes time. Recently, we’ve invested a lot of time and effort into reworking the core game mechanics, such as combat, parkour, or night, so that they are at a level we are happy with – all to ensure that the DLC2 experience feels genuinely rewarding and fun.
  • Is the DLC2 delay in any way connected to you working on DL Points? Absolutely not. These are two separate projects with different teams working on each. The only reason for the DLC2 delay is the fact that we just want to improve the game further for it to fully meet our and your expectations.
  • What kind of bundles can I buy with DL Points? Exactly the same type we have been offering before via first party stores. The only change is that now you will be able to buy them with DL Points directly from the game.
  • How do I buy bundles using DL Points? Easy! Go to the main menu in the game, then to the “Store” section. The bundles displayed there can be purchased with DL Points. Depending on the platform you use, follow the instructions displayed on the screen.
  • Are there any limitations on how DL Points can be spent? There are some exclusions – for example, DLC and Upgrades can’t be bought with DL Points. However, you can buy the bundles – and we’re giving some DL Points away for free at launch, for you to try them out. So make sure to claim and spend those!
  • If I already have some of the items, can I get a discount on the bundle that includes them? There will not be such a functionality available at the launch of DL Points, but we are working on adding it in the future!
  • If I have already bought a bundle or got it during an event, will it appear as “purchased” for me? To make sure I don’t buy something I already own by accident. Yes, you will be able to see that you own it already and won’t buy it again by accident.
  • How do I claim free DL Points? Go to the main menu in the game, then to the “Store” section. There, you can find a free DL Points pack waiting for you. Follow the instructions you see there to claim the points (depending on the platform you use).  You will be able to claim and spend free DL Points for 1 month from the launch of the functionality.
  • Can I earn DL Points during in-game events? There won’t be such an option at launch, but we are looking into the possibility of creating special occasions when you can do just that. So stay tuned for future updates!
  • Are there any limitations when it comes to how DL Points work? Due to local regulations, there is a 180-day period of expiration for DL Points in Japan. Also, DL Points will not be available in the countries where we don’t sell our games.
  • Can I get a refund of DL Points? ​​DL Points are non-refundable, with the only exception being specific cases – for example, if you encounter technical issues with the DL Points services.
  • I have accounts on 2 different platforms, is it possible to migrate DL Points between different platforms? No, DL Points will stay assigned to the platform where they were bought.
  • How does the pricing work for bundles bought with DL Points? A vast majority of the bundles can be bought cheaper, with the exception of our older bundles, sold for $2.99. That price will stay the same, whether you choose to buy them from a store or use DL Points. However, there is a way to get a better deal! DL Points will be sold in packs, and the larger pack you buy, the bigger the discount for a bundle will get.
  • Will the skin bundles bought with DL Points give me any advantage in the game? To give you a better understanding of what we are offering, think of the current bundles we have in Dying Light 2: Stay Human (or even Dying Light 1). DL Points serve as a new way of obtaining such bundles which usually contain cosmetics along with weapons that may feature some special characteristics.
  • Is the DL Points introduction in any way connected to your recent Tencent partnership announcement? No, these events are not connected at all. To give you a little bit of context: we had been offering bundles for purchase even back in Dying Light 1. And for Dying Light 2, we were thinking about building a flow where you can buy bundles in-game from the start. However, the implementation required production time, which is why we are doing it only now.
  • Are you planning to add DL Points to Dying Light 1? After 7 years of post launch support, we are not introducing any more changes to Dying Light 1, and are focusing on Dying Light 2 instead.
  • Does the introduction of DL Points mean there will be no more skins grindable during in-game events? Absolutely not. DL Points is just a new way of purchasing skin bundles. We will definitely keep running community events – and you’ll still be able to get rewards for completing the goals.
  • When DL Points will be launched? Together with the next update, which we are now finalizing!
  • Is this function final? This is just the first iteration. We intend to work on the DL Points model further, polishing and adjusting it to make sure you have the best user experience possible. Additionally, as it is the case with other updates, we will be paying close attention to any feedback you may have!

Dying Light 2 is available since February 2022 for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S. Now all we need to know is the date of the upcoming update, which is now in the final development stages, as the FAQ above mentions.

Microsoft Is Shutting Down Xbox 360 Store and Xbox 360 Marketplace in 2024

  by   Vitor Braz  
4:19 pm in News

Microsoft is going to shut down the Xbox 360 Store and the Xbox 360 Marketplace on July 29, 2024. This announcement doesn’t come as a big surprise because it was mentioned earlier this year, and only confirms the intention. A detailed FAQ is available to clear everyone’s doubts about it, including the fate of previously purchased Xbox 360 and Original Xbox games, and what you can do to continue watching content from Microsoft Movies & TV.

The highlights of this FAQ include the confirmation that players will be able to play previously purchased titles via backward compatibility, which should come as a relief to many:

Players will be able to continue to download and play games they already own on Xbox 360, Xbox One, or Xbox Series X|S consoles via backward compatibility.

Regarding game saves that you have stored and want to move to an Xbox One or Xbox Series S|X, you can access those saves instantly if you enable Xbox 360 cloud saves.

As for moves & TV content, everything that you have purchased remains in your library and you can watch it on other supported Windows and Xbox devices, such as Windows devices running Windows 10 or later, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S devices.

For any other questions you may have about the Xbox 360 Store shutdown, you should check the FAQ that we linked to above. This ends up being a normal process tied to the expected life cycle of consoles, but thanks to backward compatibility, players should be able to play most games without issues on Xbox Series X|S.

Modern Warfare 3 Tac Stance and Other New Features Announced; Minimap Red Dots, Reload Cancelling and More Confirmed

Following today’s Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 gameplay reveal, Sledgehammer Games has dropped a ton of info regarding the game’s multiplayer, and so far, it’s all good news. The developers are not only introducing new gameplay features such as the Modern Warfare 3 Tac Stance, but we are also getting a ton of “legacy” features back as well!

Modern Warfare 3 Tac Stance, Evolving Loadouts and After-Market Parts – New Features:

New Gameplay Innovation: Tac-Stance

Breach and clear with the new Tactical Stance feature, a perfect middle-ground between hip-fire and aiming down sights. When entering tight hallways and cramped rooms, toggle Tac-Stance on to improve weapon performance and win the fight. Here’s what to expect from Tac-Stance:

  • The operator unshoulders the weapon and holds it in a canted firing position.
  • You can toggle in and out of Tac-Stance dynamically while aiming down sights.
  • Tac-Stance trades precise accuracy for improved mobility and handling.
  • Some spread to your firing will occur, best described as a middle ground between full ADS and hipfire.
  • It is designed to be used in aggressive, close-quarter combat situations.
  • By default, you fire in Tac-Stance while Sliding.

New Gameplay Innovation: Evolving Loadouts

Modern Warfare III brings new levels of customization to Create-a-Class. Get ready to build your Loadout based on cutting-edge military equipment, such as gloves, tactical vests, boots and more; allowing you to fine-tune more aspects of gameplay.

New Gameplay Innovation: After-Market Parts

The evolution of the Gunsmith continues with the addition of After-Market Parts. This is a special set of customization options allowing you to focus on your preferred and specific playstyle. After-Market Parts enable you to construct unique weapon configurations or types such as customizing a machine gun into a bullpup configuration (with the firing grip in front of the breech rather than behind it), thus increasing mobility and handling without compromising on damage output.

After-Market Parts will also offer new progression paths, and challenges to unlock. Expect more info about this to be shared in the coming weeks.

The Return of Classic Gameplay

Here are the Multiplayer features confirmed for Modern Warfare III Multiplayer, coming Day One:

  • Map Voting returns, allowing players greater autonomy over their Multiplayer matches.
  • Classic Minimap Behavior, with red dots indicating when an enemy is firing an unsuppressed weapon.
  • All chosen Perks are available at the start of each match.
  • The Covert Sneakers Perk allows for silent movement (assuming you’ve chosen the correct footwear).
  • Core Multiplayer Health is increased to 150, lengthening the Time-to-Kill (TTK). Hardcore mode is not affected.

Movement in Modern Warfare 3: Responsiveness

When maneuvering in Modern Warfare III Multiplayer, expect the following movement abilities in terms of your Operator’s general responsiveness:

  • You can cancel Slide animations (i.e., “slide cancel”), but Slide Cancelling does not reset Tactical Sprint.
  • You can cancel partial Reloads during an animation (i.e., “reload cancel”) to immediately return fire.
  • Mantling is faster, and you can Mantle while Sprinting.
  • You can fire during and immediately after Sliding.
  • Tactical Sprint durations are increased (the exact duration depends on the weapon being used).
  • Tactical Sprint recharges while Sprinting.

In addition to that, Sledgehammer Games confirmed that there will be a new game 3v3 mode called “Cutthroat,” and the classic maps that are returning will feature new game modes previously unavailable to those maps back in 2009 (Hardpoint, Kill Confirmed, etc.).

Ground War, Invasion and War Mode Confirmed

Lastly, Ground War and Invasion has been confirmed to be back as well. Players can expect three brand-new Battle Maps — large-scale locations where Ground War and Invasion game modes will be playable. There will also be one War map that will support the return and evolution of the War Mode that was first introduced in Call of Duty: WWII.

As you can see, we’re at the tip of the iceberg when it comes to Modern Warfare 3 info! We should be getting more intel on the new gameplay features, the perks, killstreaks and more in the coming weeks and months.
