Watch Dogs: Legion is just a handful of weeks away, which means you're quickly running out of time to upgrade your PC if you plan to play the open-world hacking adventure with all its bells and whistles. If you've been lucky enough to snag an RTX 3080, you'll be pleased to know that Legion supports a full suite of ray-tracing options, which have now been added to the game's specs.The update specifications sheet details some of the options you can toggle for the best ray-traced experience based on your hardware. All three tiers of ray tracing make use of Nvidia's DLSS (Deep-Learning Super Sampling), which can render the game at a lower resolution and use AI to upscale it with impressive results. This lets less capable cards like the RTX 2060 run Watch Dogs: Legion with a modest suite of ray tracing effects, as you can see in the full sheet below.If you have one of the best cards on the market right now, Nvidia's new RTX 3080, you should be able to run Watch Dogs: Legion with all its ray-traced effects at their maximum at 4K. You'll have to settle for DLSS in performance mode with the additional high-resolution texture pack that adds in a whopping 20GB to the install size too.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Apex Legends launched a few hours late back in February 2019. Former Respawn lead programmer Jon Shiring had a court date to finalize his daughter's adoption at the same time the battle royale was supposed to be released.Filed the voluminous paperwork to finalize my daughters adoption today. Reminded me of the last time I was at that courthouse here in LA. So, the Apex Legends launch was weirdly late in the day - lunchtime PST - evening in Europe. Not when you’d expect. — ░〚GW〛 Jon 'slothy' Shiring ░ (@jonshiring) October 8, 2020"We had planned it for that morning, and then my court appointment to finalize my adoption came through - the court had picked February 4th at 10am - the same time as the Apex launch, I panicked," Shiring, who left Respawn in March to start a new game studio, tweeted. "Since I ran the ops and online services team for the game, this was bad."@DKo5 and everyone else at @Respawn actually pushed the secret game launch time back so I could get to my court hearing, then race back to the office and manage the launch with @thezilch and @mike_durn, and celebrate with the team.It was an amazing morning for me and my family! — ░〚GW〛 Jon 'slothy' Shiring ░ (@jonshiring) October 8, 2020Shiring said that other members of the development team pushed the launch time back by several hours so he could make it to his appointment and then race back to the office. The launch was scheduled for 10 am PT but happened at 12 pm PT. "It was an amazing morning for me and my family," Shiring said. "That's why Apex launched at a strange time ... because Respawn prioritized my family first."Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

A surprise new event has begun in Pokemon Go. From now through October 19, you'll earn new "strange eggs" when you defeat Team Go Rocket leaders in battle. Not only that, but you'll also have a chance to catch new kinds of Shadow Pokemon, including Shiny versions.As developer Niantic previously teased, the aforementioned strange eggs feature red polka dots. What sets them apart from other eggs is that they'll hatch into certain Poison- and Dark-type Pokemon, such as Larvitar, Scraggy, Trubbish, and Vullaby. The eggs also require much more time to hatch; you'll need to walk 12 km to hatch a strange egg, although hatch distance will be cut down by a quarter for any egg that you place in an Incubator during the event.As previously mentioned, you'll receive a strange egg when you defeat one of Team Go Rocket's three leaders: Cliff, Arlo, or Sierra. You'll still be able to receive these eggs even after the new event ends, but the Rocket leaders will be appearing much more frequently until October 19, making this your best chance to get them. On top of that, the following Pokemon will appear in the wild more frequently during the event:Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Halo: The Master Chief Collection is the most complete Halo package ever released, but it doesn't have every one of Master Chief's journeys included in it. Halo 5 is the only mainline game missing from the collection, and it's going to stay that way.Developer 343 Industries reaffirmed in a blog post that Halo 5 is not currently planned to be added to The Master Chief Collection. The wording suggests this is not a set-in-stone declaration, but for now, it seems quite unlikely that Halo 5 will join The Master Chief Collection.Halo 4 on PC is lookin' really good.As it stands, Halo 4 will be the final game added to the collection on PC. The Xbox One edition has included Halo 4 since release in 2014.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Just a year ago, Disney+ was a brand new beast in the streaming space, hitting the ground running with a fabulous first season of The Mandalorian.

"I would say Covid accelerated the rate at which we made this transition, but the transition was going to happen anyway."Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com
