Assassin's Creed, Far Cry, Rainbox Six Siege, Watch Dogs and a handful of other big Ubisoft series on PC are on sale for up to 75 per cent at Amazon.

- What graphics card do I need for HDR and what PC games support it? - 30 October 2019
HDR on PC hasn’t improved much in 2019. Despite there being more HDR gaming monitors than ever before, the very s for HDR continue to be quite expensive compared to non-HDR monitors, and the situation around Windows 10 support for it is still a bit of a mess. However, provided you’re willing to fight through all that, then the next step on your path to high dynamic range glory is to get an HDR compatible graphics card. Below, you’ll find a complete list of all the Nvidia and AMD graphics cards that have built-in support for HDR, as well as everything you need to know about getting one that also supports Nvidia and AMD’s own HDR standards, G-Sync Ultimate and FreeSync 2 . I’ve also put together a list of all the PC games that support HDR as well, so you know exactly which PC games you can start playing in high dynamic range. (more…)
- Ubisoft's numbers say subtitles are really jolly popular - 26 June 2019
95% of Assassin’s Creed Odyssey players kept subtitles on, Ubisoft have revealed, and 50% of The Division 2 players are currently playing with them on too. These surprising statistics and more come from a wee tweetblast this week confirming that yes, subtitles are hugely desirable even in murdergames. Even as someone who often plays with subs on, I’m surprised by the numbers shared by David Tisserand, an accessibility project manager and user research fella at Ubisoft Montreal. Subs: they are good. Subs in video games: they could be better. Conclusion: more and better subs, video games, please and thank you. (more…)

- What graphics card do I need for HDR and what PC games support it? - 26 March 2019
HDR on PC continues to be a bit of a mess these days, but provided you haven’t been put off by the astronomical prices of the s for HDR or, indeed, the ongoing debacle surrounding Windows 10 support for it , then the next step on your path to high dynamic range glory is to get an HDR compatible graphics card. Below, you’ll find a complete list of all the Nvidia and AMD graphics cards that have built-in support for HDR, as well as everything you need to know about getting one that also supports Nvidia and AMD’s own HDR standards, G-Sync HDR and FreeSync 2.

- Steam Charts: Extremely Jet Lagged Edition - 25 March 2019
John had the presence of mind to take today off, after flying back from San Francisco on Sunday. Young Matt and I got a red eye that took off on Friday night and landed on Saturday afternoon. I didn t sleep for 30 hours, then slept for 12, was wired for the next 16, and then slept for another four. Which brings us to today, when I am writing these charts, unsure which meal I should be having next and shaking off a lingering dose of The Fear, which I get from long haul flying more than I ever did from hangovers. With that in mind, it s me, back once again with the ill behaviour, to fill in doing the Steam Charts. I m very much flying by the seat of my pants here, so let s see what I come up with, shall we?

- Far Cry: New Dawn s hummingbirds are photo mode magic - 24 February 2019
When I was a kid, my parents would often take me and my sister out twitching, a weird word for bird watching made weirder by the emergence of the streaming platform. When we travelled, they would take heavy reference books showing off every species that occurred in the area, and tick them off as we saw them, tallying them up at night to add to a running total that usually reached the hundreds. I didn t think this habit had rubbed off on me until I started playing Far Cry: New Dawn . (more…)

A ten-sided device appears in your hands. Each side features a carving of a wild animal, but three of the sides depict the face of an RPS writer instead. Look, there s Matt. And yes, this one is John. The side with Brendan is a bit grubby, but it s unmistakeably him. Smells a bit weird. What could this mean? Of course! It s the RPS podcast, the Electronic Wireless Show . Perhaps if you press down on these three journo mugs at the same time aha! A telling click, and the sound of a delicate MP3. You ve discovered the latest episode. They seem to be talking about puzzle games. (more…)

- Far Cry New Dawn easter eggs reference Splinter Cell, Assassin's Creed, rabbids - 19 February 2019
A YouTuber called The Easter Egg Hunter has lived up to his name with a dive into the secrets hidden in Far Cry New Dawn. Ubisoft's post-apocalyptic follow-up to Far Cry 5 has a pretty goofy tone—this is the game that lets you have a wild pig as a companion , after all—and it's no surprise that extends to the easter eggs. They include Sam Fisher's outfit from Splinter Cell, a bobblehead version of Vaas from Far Cry 3, a bunch of photo mode poses that reference other Ubisoft games (the Assassin's Creed leap of faith is my favorite), and a poster for the rabbids that have become Ubisoft's weird mascots over multiple games.  If you're up for more, The Easter Egg Hunter has a video about Hitman 2 that highlights a lot of hidden stuff in that game. There's way more going on with the flamingo costume than I realized.
- Far Cry New Dawn's lush setting is built around 'real world' scenarios - 18 February 2019
The one thing I've noticed playing Far Cry New Dawn is that Hope County doesn't seem all that terribly worse off for having gone through a nuclear war. The roads are crappier but there are still plenty of vehicles lying around to ride around in, and the Highwaymen are jerks but there seem to be far fewer people gutted and nailed to things than there were in Far Cry 5.    The world itself doesn't look all that awful, either. While games like Fallout and Metro present players with classic "blasted wasteland" environments, Far Cry New Dawn's world is lush and pretty. Associate narrative director James Nadiger told GamesIndustry that the more colorful, upbeat setting helps set New Dawn apart from other end-of-the-world games, and it's not entirely fantastical.  "The cool thing about apocalypse fiction—not just in games, but across all media…

- Far Cry New Dawn physical sales just a quarter of Far Cry Primal's - 18 February 2019
Far Cry New Dawn topped the UK chart this week, but its launch week sales were a far cry (sorry) from those of its predecessors. New Dawn's sales were just 13 per cent of Far Cry 5's opening week total. That's down massively, but to be expected - New Dawn is just a spin-off. But even if you compare New Dawn to Far Cry 4 spin-off Primal, last week's launch sold just 25 per cent of Primal's week one total. Read more
- What are we all playing this weekend? - 16 February 2019
Alice is on holiday, so this week it’s me, Alice, filling in for Alice. We’re deep in the trenches now, the game trenches, the February onslaught of releases. Metro is only just in our rear view mirror, and Brendan is almost a broken man. Anthem is in its bizarre week of early release for people who’ll pay for EA’s special version of Origins. Apelegs is taking the Battles Royales by storm. There is too much to do, so I might not remind people to send me what they’re playing, just so I don’t have to put it in this document, because I am busy playing some of the games that we have to play. I know, what a ridiculous thing to moan about, hey? What are you playing this weekend? Here’s what we’re clicking on! (more…)
