Humble Bundle’s latest pay-what-you-want digital compilation includes a broad selection of console titles from publisher Capcom, including standouts like Resident Evil HD, Devil May Cry HD Collection, and Mega Man 9 and 10.
In a first for Humble Bundle, all of its current offerings are redeemable on PlayStation 4 and PS3 consoles via PlayStation Network digital codes, giving buyers access to console versions of all featured titles. Proceeds benefit the American Red Cross, Rettysyndrome.org, and Save the Children charities.
All Humble Capcom PlayStation Bundle buyers will receive digital copies of Mercs series sequel Wolf of the Battlefield: Commando 3, revamped competitive puzzler Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo HD Remix, and the arcade retro-gaming two-pack Final Fight Double Impact, which includes emulated versions of Capcom’s Final Fight and Magic Sword.
Buyers also get their choice of either the PlayStation 4 or PS3 version of 2014’s Strider reboot, along with a digital coupon that drops 45 percent off the PlayStation Network price of Capcom’s flagship one-on-one fighter Street Fighter V.
Purchases that exceed the average buy-in price among all Humble Store customers (currently just over $12) will unlock digital copies of Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix, Lost Planet 3, Okami HD, Remember Me, and Mega Man 9 and 10 for the PlayStation 3. Gamers who beat the average will also get Resident Evil HD for either the PlayStation 4 or PS3.
Humble Bundle additionally offers a $15 tier that features all beat-the-average content in addition to bonus digital copies of Devil May Cry HD Collection for the PlayStation 3 and Resident Evil 0 Remastered for the buyer’s choice of either the PS4 or PS3. Buyers who kick in $15 or more will also receive a 50 percent off coupon for the PlayStation 4 version of Capcom’s 8-bit platformer compilation Mega Man Legacy Collection.
The Humble Capcom PlayStation Bundle will be up for grabs through September 6.
Acer’s Predator Atlas 8 finally has a US release date and price, several months after the company first showed off the handheld in May. The highlight is the Intel Arc G3 Extreme chip inside, which has been adopted by only a couple of other consoles besides the Atlas 8. This version will go on sale exclusively at Best Buy on November 1 for $1,299.99.
Acer originally said the Atlas 8 would arrive in North America in October, but left pricing open at the time. The launch came amid the ongoing DRAM crunch, which has made memory more expensive across the PC industry and complicated pricing for hardware makers.
Gaming laptops and I have a complicated relationship. One of my first gaming rigs was an Acer Predator that was already outdated when I bought it. I was a broke college kid, and that was the best I could afford. So trying out high-end gaming laptops is always fun. But ASUS' ROG Zephyrus G14 is a lot more than a laptop that can run AAA games. It is portable, so you're not lugging around a 2.5kg machine everywhere you go. It is built well, none of that plastic chassis, and can even function as a normal laptop outside of just gaming.
Google Play is borrowing one of the Nintendo Switch’s most useful little tricks. A new Sidekick tool called Playbacks captures a short clip after something interesting has already happened, sparing players from running a screen recorder throughout an entire game.
Playbacks is part of Google Play Store v53.8 and keeps saved clips on the phone. Google first announced it earlier this month, but the new Play Store update marks its arrival for players. Anyone who has watched a perfect win vanish because the record button came too late already understands the appeal.
