Destiny 2 : News Screenshots Videos & More



Game Description:

Destiny 2 is an online-only multiplayer first-person shooter video game developed by Bungie and published by Activision. It was released for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on September 6, 2017, followed by a Microsoft Windows version the following month.It is the sequel to 2014's Destiny and its subsequent expansions. Set in a "mythic science fiction" world, the game features a multiplayer "shared-world" environment with elements of role-playing games. Like the original, activities in Destiny 2 are divided among player versus environment (PvE) and player versus player (PvP) game types. In addition to normal story missions, PvE features three-player "strikes" and six-player raids. A free roam patrol mode is also available for each planet and features public events as well as new activities not featured in the original. These new activities have an emphasis on exploration of the planets and interactions with non-player characters (NPCs); the original Destiny only featured NPCs in social spaces. PvP features objective-based modes, as well as traditional death match game modes.




Players assume the role of a Guardian, protectors of Earth's last safe city as they wield a power called Light to protect the Last City from different alien races. One of these races, the Cabal, led by the warlord Dominus Ghaul, infiltrate the Last City and strips all Guardians of their Light. The player sets out on a journey to regain their Light and find a way to defeat Ghaul and his Red Legion army and take back the Last City.
Like the original Destiny, the game features expansion packs which further the story and adds new content and missions. Year One of Destiny 2 featured two small expansions, Curse of Osiris in December 2017 and Warmind in May 2018. A third, large expansion, Forsaken, was released in September 2018, beginning Year Two with an overhaul on gameplay. The base game and the first three expansions were packaged into Destiny 2: Forsaken Legendary Collection.
Upon release, Destiny 2 received generally favorable reviews from critics. The game received praise for its many improvements over its predecessor. The original Destiny received much criticism for its story, but Destiny 2 was praised as having a "more robust story" and an actual fleshed out villain. As with the original, gameplay for the most part was also highly praised. Reviews were split on the recategorization of the weapons and the newer activities like the Adventures and Lost Sectors, but praise was unanimous on the exploration of the game world. Changes to PvP were welcomed by some reviewers, though others were critical for the mode lacking player choice. Destiny 2 was nominated for and won various awards, such as at The Game Awards 2017 and Game Critics Awards.

I tried Roccat's Kova mouse, a true ambidextrous mouse


The new version of Roccat's Kova mouse, a true ambidextrous mouse, offers an aggressive design that also provides a good grip. Its versatility of programmable buttons makes it a good versatile mouse for both the office and the game, and especially now it's even cheaper since the launch of its little sister Kova AIMO. Delight the fans of FPS and MOBA!

While Roccat has just launched the Kova AIMO to please the RGB fans, since it is compatible with its AIMO lighting system (which we would have suspected by its name!), I studied the Roccat Kova. Why will you tell me? Well, simply because thanks to the launch of his little sister, the Kova, which is still in the manufacturer's catalog, sees its price at € 10. So I found it interesting to see what it was worth of this truly ambidextrous mouse, often acclaimed by lefties.

Optical sensor
Maximum DPI: 7000
Buttons: 12
Weight: 99g




PRESENTATION AND DESIGN

The Kova has been in the Roccat catalog since 2012 and since then has experienced several evolutions, which shows its success! Especially since his reputation with lefties is more than demonstrating. As always we will start with the packaging. Take the standards of the brand; therefore, it will be impossible to see the mouse (and have an idea of ??its size and ergonomics before buying), since it is enclosed in a box with mainly dark and blue colors. Always with a beveled side, we find in the front a large photo of the mouse with its main features, and two mentions: "Approved by FPS" and "Approved by MOBA", which leave no doubt as to its use.

All these features are covered in more detail on the side, as well as on the back of the case and highlight its ambidextrous side, its new Pro-Optic sensor, its RGB dual zone lighting and the famous EsayShift + feature. .

When we opened the box, we discovered that the mouse is well packed in thermoformed transparent plastic and is accompanied by a small brochure of the user's manual and the warranty brochure, also a brochure. So there is nothing silly about the package, but in a mouse of this price, I did not expect more.

Like many Roccat mice, it is available in several colors, here white / black or gray / black, the model I tested is gray / black. Its design is known as it follows the lines of previous versions, but with an even more aggressive style, which is far from indifferent. With his gray helmet, I find him, even a small stealth plane




Obviously, since he is an ambidextrous mouse, everything here is about symmetry! You can not change the sides of the buttons, but the buttons are on both the right and the left in the same locations. So we have no less than 12 buttons (with horizontal scroll) of which 11 are programmable! Which, thanks to the EasyShift + function, will raise the number of programmable functions on the buttons to 22! Basically what to get some brushes during a game change! But who can provide a certain comfort depending on the games you use. This is the reason why, given the number of programmable buttons, I find that the mentions approved by FPS and MOBA are a bit restrictive.

The cover is made of a soft, matte plastic lining that, if it is quite pleasant to the touch, will have an unfortunate tendency to retain the marks of the fingers and the palm of the hand. So, if it is in gray, it is not very noticeable, I believe that in the white it will involve more than regular cleanings. And if this coating can also seem slippery at first glance, the grip is guaranteed by a good design of the slices, which provides good maneuverability.

In the RGB lighting level, there are only two areas that benefit: the wheel and the back of the mouse through a discrete band, so discreet and positioned so that, in fact, it is barely visible. It feels more like having a small triangle on the left and on the right than an edge on the whole back.

ERGONOMICS


Here is a mouse of a fairly compact size, 13.1 x 6.6 x 3.8 (L x W x H), and lightweight as announced by Roccat of 99 grams, cable included. Cable that has a fairly common length of 1 m 80, enough to satisfy most configurations.
The buttons are therefore 12 in number. The two main clicks that are often made, all in one block, have the advantage of lowering very low on the front of the mouse. So, in addition to the good rebounds of our mouse, taking the palm of your hand will not be a problem at all. And, obviously, it will be possible to use the grip of the claw or the fingertip. These clicks are equipped with the famous Omron sensors for which I could not find any indication as to the number of activations they can support. If they are a little noisy with the click, they offer a very good bounce and are very receptive.




In the grip of the palm, these two clicks are bordered by a more prominent button, their indexes and the main ones are well calibrated. And especially it makes these two side buttons easily and quickly accessible. In the same way, they have a good response capacity and are really very well placed, especially in the game for the FPS office, since they give, for example, a double click. In the center we find, as always, the wheel, a 2D Titan, which, although with notches, is very (too) sensitive. Which gave me some excitement when I changed my weapon in FPS. Covered with a soft rubber coating, it offers vertical scrolling and that's it! Finally, not completely, since it is backlit and this lighting is customizable through SWARM software. Behind the wheel, is the DPI change, easily accessible.

On the left side, two buttons have their right side twins, the ambidextrous mouse requires. If they are well positioned, it is unfortunate that they are not better separated. What makes the game, often happened to me, in a hurry, click on both at the same time. The buttons on the right can still be used, provided they assign functions that are used infrequently because they require some gymnastics with the ring finger.

When putting the beast in the back, there are four Teflon papats we discovered, but five, which offer a fairly correct glide.

In short, you will understand that this Roccat Kova offers good ergonomics for a really comfortable grip and the buttons fall naturally under the fingers without having to look for them.

CHARACTERISTICS AND SOFTWARE


As I said before, the buttons fall naturally under the fingers and are easily programmable through the Roccat SWARM software. Software that will have to go to the manufacturer's site and that, strangely, is not the latest version and will ask you to make several updates.

On the first page of the software, you will have access to the main parameters with, in the lower part of the window, access to 5 configurable and recordable profiles in the mouse memory, which will allow you to connect your mouse to another PC and have your profiles already configured directly.

You will also find the DPI change, which can be set from 250 to 7000 DPI, in increments of 50. You can program up to 5 levels of DPI, but you can choose the number to be programmed by checking or unchecking the boxes in front. Of the different bearings. What is interesting in FPS is having to change only between 2/3 different DPI frequencies according to the needs, without having to do a complete cycle to go back to the desired frequency.

On the left side of this window, there are other options available to you, which allow you to change the horizontal scroll speed or the double click speed.

The second tab is where you can configure all the buttons. Since this mouse is equipped with the EasyShift + function, we do not have a single column but two, one corresponding to the main assignment and the other to the secondary assignment. By the way, I want to point out that if, in the box, they tell us, thanks to this function, 22 attributable functions, here we have 12 rows per column or 24 functions! But for once it goes in the right direction, we will not complain.




The assignment of actions to the keys is very simple when you click on the button you want to change, which will open a drop-down menu in which you will only have to choose the desired assignment.

As for the games, if finally there are few options (38), compared to a Logitech G203 that offers 640, all the bigger titles are present. And do not stress because the software offers a macro editor to create yours according to your needs. And it must be taken into account that its use is easy because it is very intuitive, which is an advantage over what some competitors offer in this area.

The third tab allows you to configure other parameters such as the polling rate, even if it will always be left at 1000 Hz, since it allows you to configure the use of the mouse with the left or right hand; Finally, it is also possible to have an audio return, especially for the DPI change, since there is no visual indication available. If, initially, it is a little strange to hear a male voice announce the number of intellectual property rights selected, we get used to it quite quickly in the end! Whenever you understand English because unfortunately you will not have the option of language. And this voice can also announce the profile change if you wish.

It is also in this tab where you can make your RGB settings, which are also very limited, since there are only 4: fixed light, breathing effect, flash or a last called "color flow", which allows alternate colors but, ultimately instance, more flashes that really fluid
One thing to keep in mind about this SWARM software is that by putting some settings in favorites, you will have direct access to them by opening the software without having to go from one tab to another.

PERFORMANCE


In fact, the Kova has a Pro-Optic R6 sensor that can reach up to 3500 DPI, but thanks to the addition of a 32-bit Turbo Core V2 chip, this sensitivity is doubled, equivalent to 7000 DPI.
Its optical sensor is good and reacts very well, especially on a good mouse pad.
Its sounding rate at 1000 Hz will delight the FPS users and this mouse, thanks to its ergonomics, is really comfortable to use because it is very sensitive and takes very well in your hand.

This Roccat Kova has been with me for more than 15 days, in the automation of offices like Battelfield V, Star Wars Battlefront II, War Thunder and some other games and, frankly, I do not have to complain. The clicks are frank and nice, the buttons on the sides of the main clicks are really an advantage and, fortunately, because the side buttons, as I said before, are too close together and that, especially in the heat of the action, can happen to press both at the same time. But with a little habit it becomes less and less common.

It is really a good all-purpose mouse that, thanks to the EsayShift + function, can be used by MMO players.

How to get an optimal gaming experience


In some cases, the games are a quick way to spend time on the bus. But for others, the game is a way of life. The game can be as intense and involved as you want. Different game modes allow you to invest in a desktop campaign or to enter and exit a console or mobile version. For those who like games to become an event, and in fact, since the launch of Twitch, many people have done it with a great financial and professional fee. You can increase the enjoyment and productivity of a long game session in many ways. . No matter where you play, you must have the best possible experience.




Games at home

The configuration you are playing is as important as the game you are playing. Long campaigns need comfortable ergonomic food that will allow them to sit for a long time while desktop games will benefit from optimized mice and keyboards. Console games need a TV that can deliver the best possible picture and sound of the console output, while a strong internet connection is essential for multi-player games or real battles. While some people prefer to play publicly on playgrounds or with friends, there is an environment that can be played. Many playgrounds have invested in equipment to allow the player to spend hours in hours.

Play publicly

Playing games in cybercrime or cafe requires different considerations at home. To get the best experience, public games often benefit from VPN. Finding the best VPN for games can be a difference between a slow and distorted gaming experience or a smooth experience. Game VPN means that the speeds must be large enough to allow transmission and downloading, especially when it comes to games with built environment and interaction with other players. Good VPN also offers excellent speed. In essence, VPN allows it to be encrypted, which makes games safer on the go, as the public network acts as a private network. Antivirus software is also critical, especially when you download and run torrents or play publicly and use your servers.

Games Go

Those games that have grown proportionally with the sharpness of the graphics in the game. Although there are other factors in the increase in the number of players, the role that games play now is so interesting and attractive. In fact, a powerful processor, a good quality graphics card and an efficient cooling device are very important for games, especially during games. For mobile games, you need to make sure you have a high processing and storage capacity. Technology is at the forefront, enabling us to play console games on portable devices that will open up a new world of gaming.




Wherever you play: at home, in public or on the move, you deserve the best possible experience. The game environment, software and hardware work together to provide you with the best gaming experience. Although the choice of game depends on your mood, ensuring that these three are under control, you will be given a stronger attitude to enjoy your gaming experience. Make sure the surrounding environment is optimized and physically comfortable. Then, make sure that the computer you are using has the best software and hardware to facilitate the speed and safety of the game you are playing and that you can enjoy the highest graphics and gaming interface.

Making Anthem sounds like a perfect triple storm


It seems a miracle that BioWare and the EA sci-fi MMO anthem have begun.

It is long and worth reading, but it is long and short that the title was supported by the technical limitations of the EA Frostbite engine patented by the Swedish DICE, as well as the visions of what the game is about.




Although the game was ready since 2012, the final version of Anthem, which began in February this year, only started about 18 months before the release date. Ultimately, the important elements, such as flying Mech suits, were not always at stake and the team switched to mechanics. Taking into account that the means of movement are not blocked, it also meant that the design of the level and the aspirations were not blocked for a long time. The functions announced until 2018, as a detailed system of skills tree, have never been put into play. This is, at least in part, the reason why the anthem has not appreciated too well in its beta test or body.

The change of leadership of BioWare, led by Casey Hudson, did not contribute to the development in 2014, leaving a gap at the top. Hudson finally returned in the summer of 2017.

Employees also discuss the impact of mental health on the BioWare teams in the Edmonton and Montreal area of ​​Canada, as well as in Austin, Texas, due to the hard deadlines and long periods of crisis. It involved a six-week period of "significant crisis", during which a demonstration was built so that EA Worldwide Studios boss Patrick Söderlund would not be impressed after the game. By the way, it was when the flight was finally added, as well as an updated art style.

In short, the development of Anthem seems to be the perfect storm of a large budget project, hampered by technical difficulties, lack of a clear vision and, at all times, a massive editor who breathes his neck trying to make the studies are impossible .

"We sincerely support all present and former members of our team who worked on the game, including administration," he read.




"It takes a lot of effort, energy and dedication to do any game, and it would not have been possible to make the hymn without any effort, it's best to bring this new idea to the fans, we did not want to be part of what you tried to humiliate them as individuals.

He continued: "Like the studio and the team, we accept all the criticisms that come from our games, especially from our players." The creative process is often complicated, the difficulties and challenges of videogames are very real. amazing: people in this industry are putting so much passion and energy to do something fun, we do not believe that articles make our industry and our art better.

"Our focus is on our players and we will continue to produce hymns for our entire community, thanks for the support of our fans, we are doing what we do for you."

Eve Tech works with a new mini-PC with Windows 10

In recent months, Eve Tech has collected user reviews to design the perfect Windows 10 notebooks and mini-computers.




The company asked the following questions about Windows 10 computers:


  • Describe yourself as a user What do you use for your mini-PC?
  • What mini-PCs are you currently using? What did you choose?
  • If I had to buy a new mini-computer today, what would be and why?
  • What do you think are the common disadvantages of mini-computers currently on the market and whether there is a unique value or innovation that Eve and the community could bring?
  • User-specific recommendations for mini-computers
  • Users think that most existing mini-computers have their own drawbacks. Some have problems with CPU power, Thunderbolt and graphics.


Others lack the ability to expand, they have problems with cable / Wi-Fi antennas and the management of backpacks.

Users have offered some amazing suggestions to Eve tech for their upcoming mini-computers.

For example, most computer users think that mini-computers currently available on the market are not designed for ordinary consumers. Today's devices seem to meet the needs of technology enthusiasts.

Most users say they're looking for small computers with Windows 10 that are easy to transport while traveling. Such users need to perform some basic functions, such as:





  • Browsing the web
  • Streaming Videos (YouTube, Netflix, Amazone Prime, etc.)
  • Play games
  • Therefore, according to users, these computers should be designed to be compatible with Wifi, Bluetooth, LTE and USB-A, USB-C, HDMI, DisplayPort. Devices must support high performance games via Shadow or similar service.


Many users think Eve should try Android TV to compete with Apple TV. The company needs to explore the space available on the market. Another user wants an Eve Android box that competes against the popular NVIDIA Shield.

It should be capable of a graphics card and provide endless expansion capacity, supporting more than one Thunderbolt 3 (ideally 4xTB3).

Some users like the idea of ​​"family sharing" and "parental control" as presented for MiiPC. Others want Eve to investigate all use cases and improve the GUI.

Ideas for the next laptop for Eve

The next product category in which the company has shown interest is "Laptops". Eve created another thread. Tell us what you think about laptops in your community forum.

If you are interested in reading the specifications and features of Eve Tech laptops, check out the Enterprise Development Forum at Risk

Talking about laptops, you may also be interested in reading our Eve V Convertible Tablet Review.

So, when does the company plan to launch new devices? Maybe next year. We believe that this year the company is working with a product prototype. So Eve should have enough time to thoroughly test the new device before it is launched on the market.

How to start old games on your modern computer

Do you want to play some retro computer games in Windows 10? Here we show you how to play classics on a new computer.
You can play new games on your old computer, but what happens if you want to play older games on your current game engine?




The older the Windows game is, the less likely it is to get out of the box. Changing operating systems and specifications expire. Current versions of 64-bit Windows do not support applications designed for earlier 16-bit versions, such as Windows 95/98. Earlier versions of Windows ran in DOS, but this was not the case with Windows XP. There may also be dependencies, old master libraries, that need old games, which are not available on newer computers.

Although each game is different, there are some common options that you can try to work on in the previous game again. These tricks will help you launch many retro games designed for older operating systems, from DOS to Windows XP.

Execute as an administrator

Earlier versions of Windows did not have a user control system in the latest versions of the operating system. This system limits your daily use rights, so you can not accidentally delete something important or you can not install malicious files automatically. Many old games were written on the assumption that they did not have to worry about these restrictions because they were not.

To change, you can run games enabled by the administrator. The easiest way to do this is to right-click on the .exe file you are using to start the game and select "Run as administrator." You should do this every time you play a game, but you can use the instructions in the next section to make it permanent.

Use compatibility mode

Administrator mode solves a problem, but compatibility mode can solve multiple problems at the same time. This built-in Windows function allows you to simulate the conditions found in certain previous versions of Windows. To change this, locate the .exe game you want to run, right-click and select Properties. Click on the Compatibility tab at the top of the windows that appear.




Here you have two options. You can click on "Run Compatibility Troubleshooter" to automatically detect game-specific problems that automatically apply at the end of the wizard. Alternatively, you can manually change certain options.

In compatibility mode, you can select the version of Windows for which the game was designed from the pull-down menu or at least it most likely works. There are also configurations at the bottom of this window that allow for reduced color mode, older resolutions of 640 x 480 or, as mentioned above, the ability to always run the program as an administrator. Find a complete explanation of all the configurations that you can change here.

Install unsigned drivers

When Windows moved to 64 bits, Microsoft enabled more than 4 GB of memory and made its computer safer, but also blocked the use of unsigned drivers. The drivers now have a digital signature that confirms their integrity. Drivers who do not have this signature should not work. Unfortunately, some older games rely on drivers that can cause problems when they start.

To install drivers without a signature, you must run a special mode that allows it. To do this, go to the Start menu, click on Turn on the lower left corner and hold the Shift button when you click on Restart. This will take you to a special boot menu.

In this menu, click Troubleshooting> Advanced Options> Startup Settings> Restart. This will take you to the start menu, which lists several options that you can change. The seventh option should create a prohibition to impose the signature of the controller, so press F7 to enter the menu. In this mode, you should be able to install a game or any controller game.

Use the emulator

If the game is too old or too broken to work, the emulator can help. One of the most popular Windows emulators is called DOSBox. This allows you to start games designed to work in DOS directly in modern versions of Windows.




DOSBox has the main list of what games are compatible here. This method is somewhat more complicated than some of the previous options (you will find complete instructions on using DOSBox here), but if your game does not work, this method can help.

Use a virtual machine

The most complete way to cheat a game so that it thinks it is running in the previous version of Windows is to install the old version of Windows in the virtual machine. It also allows you to use Windows games on a Mac using programs such as Parallels Desktop or VMWare Fusion. You can also use the free VirtualBox software in Windows.

All you have to do is set up a virtual machine, install the version of Windows you need and then run the game in this environment. This is a long and clumsy way to play, but if nothing else works and you really want to play, this is a good option.

Metal Wolf Chaos XD release date seemingly revealed.


Metal Wolf Chaos XD is a modernized restart of the 2004 FromSoftware mech shooter with improved visualization, control and advanced games, a new recording system and 4K + 16: 9 support for modern screens. The game is released by Devolver Digital and now it seems that the release date for Metal Wolf Chaos XD has also appeared.

Date of publication of Metal Wolf Chaos XD





So if you go to the SteamDB Metal Wolf Chaos XD Change List, you will find something very interesting, see below.

According to the change log, the game is released on May 20, 2019. This release date was removed in February, but the change log can still be seen.

Now, this may mean a couple of things, whether the release date is really different or perhaps Devolver Digital wants to release the release date for a later time, before release.

The game should come out safely this year, and May seems to be a good time, so we have to wait and see the official announcement from our editor.

Metal Chaos Wolf XD


The game still has only a revealing trailer that shows better textures and resolution game scenes. The game mode has not been shown yet, but we hope it will be released soon. Take a look at the trailer shown below.
