Developer EA Motive Studios has confirmed that there are currently no plans to add more post-launch content to Star Wars: Squadrons on PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.In an interview with UploadVR, creative director Ian Frazier said that the intention with Squadrons was never to create or turn the finished product into a live-service experience."Never say never, so to speak, but as far as our philosophy goes we’re not trying to treat the game as a live service," Frazier said. "We don't want to say, 'It's almost done!' and then dribble out more of it over time, which to be honest is how most games work these days. So we've tried to treat it in kind of an old-school approach saying, 'You've paid the $40, this is the game and it's entirely self-contained. We're not planning to add more content, this is the game, and we hope you understand the value proposition.'"Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

When I played Watch Dogs: Legion a few months back, I was keeping a keen eye on its depiction of a collective revolt against injustice, state-sanctioned violence, and technological exploitation. After all, those are the running themes that the game has been emphasizing in its presentation and early story threads, and they should be analyzed. I recently got another crack at the game to play all-new story missions, and it's turned into something a bit unexpected.In these new missions, I got to see story branches that dive into Clan Kelley, the organized crime ring that runs the streets of London in the wake of a hostile paramilitary takeover. It's not really a surprise that organized crime is in bed with corrupt authorities, but based on what I played, things turn more sinister and dark, in a way that's probably not great for the squeamish.As you reveal the truths of Clan Kelley and its leader Mary Kelley, you discover that she's been collecting people to force them into servitude, and, well, eventual victims of organ harvesting. Albion authorities (the PMC that now runs London) have been leveraging anti-immigrant sentiment to enforce racist policies and illegally round up vulnerable, marginalized people and detain them in refugee camps. It's all plainly stated in dialogue between your character and your AI assistant, as you're trying to track down a victim and DedSec affiliate named Angel Lopez. But the knife is twisted even deeper once you reveal this system provides a cover and an avenue for Kelley to kidnap and enslave these people. Yeah, it's straight up human trafficking.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

The full patch notes are outlined below.The meat of the patch is dedicated to bug fixes. One in particular centers on an issue found in the Fleet Battles tutorial mission where it would not complete if the player was destroyed at certain points during the operation.

This week on Wrestle Buddies, GameSpot's professional wrestling podcast, Chris E. Hayner and Mat Elfring are spending their time in the past, a time when wrestling was much sillier and arguably so much greater. After all, this was a time when wrestlers appeared in character on late night talk shows. What's not to love?First, we jump in the time machine and go back to 1990 to remember the Ultimate Warrior's appearance on The Arsenio Hall Show. Warrior was there to promote his Wrestlemania VI match with Hulk Hogan, though if you've watched the segment you'd think he was selling the idea of grunting, flexing, and taking off his shirt as a lifestyle. Throughout the interview, Arsenio looks caught somewhere between terrified and genuinely amused. After breaking down the appearance--and Warrior's nonsensical answers--we understand why.Then, it's time to dig into another of WWE's non-wrestling business ventures. This time, we head to Canada for a visit to WWE Niagara Falls, the finest wrestling-related tourist trap north of the border. WWE Niagara Falls was essentially a wrestling merchandise store with a theme park ride on the roof. Nobody really knows why, but you'll be shocked to find out this place lasted nearly a decade before it finally closed.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Many PC enthusiasts are still jockeying to obtain Nvidia's 30-series cards--particularly the RTX 3080 and 3090--amid a shortage related to high demand and the ongoing coronavirus crisis, even swallowing high prices at secondhand retailers like eBay to get their hands on one. Now, a partner of GPU manufacturer MSI was caught scalping the company's own cards on eBay, and customers aren't happy about it.According to a Reddit post that called out its behavior, the subsidiary in question is called Starlit Partner, and it was only authorized to carry and sell excess inventory and refurbished items. MSI responded, saying that an error caused Starlit Partner to have access to new GPUs like the RTX 3080, which it sold for $1359, which is $600 above the MSRP of $759.Regarding Starlit Partner/eBay: pic.twitter.com/QqRDBNRdVa — MSI Gaming USA (@msiUSA) October 7, 2020As the above tweet reveals, MSI has ordered Starlit Partner to reach out to the customers affected and offer them full or partial refunds for the $600 difference. Some 3090s were also sold by Starlit Partner for inflated prices as well. For those who are determined to pay MSRP for a 3080 or 3090, you might end up waiting a while: the shortage isn't going to abate until at least 2021 according to Nvidia. Nvidia has repeatedly apologized for the supply shortages. Info from Gamespot.com

If you enjoy hunting for platinum Trophies on your PS4, you know how frustrating it can be when you don't know how far you are from slaying 10,000 zombies, or collecting the 100 widgets you need for the last trophy. Now, a French PlayStation Blog post seems to confirm that the PS5 will have in-depth trophy tracking--though the language has since been removed from the post.According to the French PlayStation blog post on the new Trophy system, you can track the trophy progress on the PS5https://t.co/b2EM6UtSt3 pic.twitter.com/HGt1EAMsz5 — Nibel (@Nibellion) October 7, 2020If you aren't familiar, this trophy-tracking would presumably work similarly to the enhanced achievement tracking that came to the Xbox One back in 2017. That update added a new menu that allows players to easily see how far they are from completing any given achievement in a game, as well as the relative rarity of each one.Obviously, this feature isn't quite confirmed yet, but given the fact that it was leaked by an official PlayStation source, it's likely to happen. Other new features confirmed by Sony for the PS5 include haptic feedback and adaptive triggers in the new DualSense controller and a solid-state drive right out of the gate. We've reached out to Sony for details on this new trophy-tracking feature.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

On the eve of AMD revealing its next-generation Zen 3 CPUs, Intel has officially announced its new desktop CPUs that will be coming to market in early 2021.The 11th generation chips, dubbed Rocket Lake, aren't being revealed in detail just yet, with Intel saying more specifications on the new CPUs will be coming soon. In the announcement the company does, however, point to its success with its current generation of CPUs, despite still being built on a 14nm process for desktop chips.It's unclear if Intel is finally moving to 10nm for desktop with Rocket Lake and what this might entail for the company's single-core performance dominance, but the announcement does confirm that the new CPUs will finally add support for PCIe 4.0. This means you'll be able to run new PCIe 4.0 expansion cards and SSDs on Intel boards soon, after AMD added support for it with its current generation Ryzen 3000 CPUs.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Netflix has rolled out a new "Worth the Wait" section, a tab that gives members a first look at titles coming to the streaming service in the next 15 to 365 days. The feature is meant to offer a more comprehensive long-view on titles that are eye-catching but still quite a way from release. It's also likely a move by Netflix to encourage subscribers to keep paying for a monthly membership even if their queue is bone dry at the moment.Photo: NetflixNote that the new section is only, for now, accessible on TV. It does not appear on iPads, iOS, Android, or desktop versions of Netflix. When using Netflix on your TV, the "Worth the Wait" section is located under the "New and Popular" tab. Variety is reporting that Netflix plans to test the feature on the web "later this year."Like any streaming service, Netflix has had so many comings and goings--announcements and cancelations--of its shows that it's hard to even know what you should scan a "Worth the Wait" section for. So far, we have clocked a total of 23 shows Netflix has canceled this year. But cancelations can also mean pretty much anything: Fan favorite animated series Tuca & Bertie was canceled by Netflix in 2019, but earlier this year was scooped up by Adult Swim.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com
