The Ninja Gaiden: Master Collection on PC now offers the ability to change graphical options in-game, one month after the collection was released. PC players were upset at the "barebones" PC port of the collection of Ninja Gaiden Sigma, Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2, and Ninja Gaiden 3: Razer's Edge because it lacked a number of features typically found in PC games, like the ability to change the resolution in-game.Version 1.0.0.2 adds a number of options to the in-game menu: display mode, resolution, V-Sync, triple buffering, anti-aliasing, depth of field, and display shadows. Some of the options previously existed, like resolution, however it could only be changed in the game's properties in the Steam library. While this update does add a number of features that were missing from the initial release, it does not offer a fix for all of them. Notably, Ninja Gaiden Sigma still does not offer mouse and keyboard support, only being playable with a controller.While at the time of launch a representative for Koei Tecmo said the company has "no comment to offer" on these concerns, it appears that the company is aware of the issues players have with the PC version and are fixing some of them. Koei Tecmo and developer Team Ninja have not publicly said when--or if--more updates will be released for the PC version.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

It's nearly Week 6 in Fortnite Season 7, and a new challenge this week will ask you to place prepper supplies in Hayseed's Farm. This is another of the season's story-driven Quests, of which there have been several each week, signaling a change within Epic Games to put the team's expansive universe front and center for the Invasion season. Here's where--and why--to place prepper supplies in this Fortnite Week 6 Legendary Quest. This challenge will be available in-game on Wednesday, July 14 at 7 AM PT / 10 AM ET.Where To Place Fortnite Prepper SuppliesThere are multiple places you can visit to place prepper supplies, but they're all within the relatively small confines of Hayseed's Farm, known in the past (and future?) as Steel's Farm. Hayseed is Farmer Steel's cousin and has been minding his abundant corn crops while Farmer Steel has been MIA--apparently having gone underground to wait out the alien-IO scuffle.In the meantime, you'll be leaving Farmer Steel some more prepper supplies for him to take underground to his bunker we first learned about (but have not yet seen) in Week 5. You need only to place one prepper supply according to the Quest's language, so choosing any of the spots below should net you the 45,000 XP.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Ukraine's Security Service (SBU) recently raided a cryptocurrency mining farm located next door to the Vinnytsiaoblenergo energy distribution company in the city of Vinnytsia, confiscating thousands of PS4 Pros that were being used as part of a mining operation. According to the SBU, the accused were held responsible for stealing up to $256,648 worth of energy from the local grid, which they hid with special electrical meters.Possible collusion with power company officials hadn't been ruled out either by the spy agency, according to the Kyiv Post, as spotted by Kotaku. There's no word yet if Vinnytsiaoblenergo will be fined for all the noise pollution generated from running a few thousand PS4 Pros."The equipment used for cryptocurrency mining has never operated on premises owned by our enterprise," it said in a statement, denying any wrongdoing on its part and adding that the SBU's information "does not correspond to reality."Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Secretlab has done it again. Rather than resting on its laurels (or chairs), the leading gaming chair manufacturer has refined the design of its Titan Evo 2022 Series to create a marked improvement over its 2020 Series, which already sat atop our best gaming chairs list. Better ergonomics, refined materials, and more customization make Secretlab's Titan Evo a standout upgrade.The new Secretlab lineupRight out of the gate, the Secretlab 2022 Series solves one of the issues with the previous lineup. Secretlab is only producing one design for the 2022 series: the Titan Evo. Despite this change, the 2022 Series will actually fit more users, as it's available in small, regular, and extra-large sizes. The reason why this distinction is important is because previously Secretlab's Omega and Titan Series chairs had a feature difference: the Titan had an adjustable lumbar dial and the Omega didn't. This meant users who needed the smaller Omega chair missed out on a big ergonomic feature, being forced to use a separate lumbar pillow instead.Both the leatherette and SoftWeave materials have been updated for the Titan EvoNow, regardless of the size of the chair, you get the same exact features. For reference, the small Titan Evo is more compact than the Omega, the regular falls in between the old Titan and Omega, and the extra large is about the same size as the Titan XL. The size changes will be most notable for those who felt the Omega was too big and for users who fit somewhere in the middle.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com
