The developer behind No Man’s Sky, Hello Games, has another title on the way with Light No Fire. While the game shares similarities with the developer’s previous title in terms of gameplay and philosophy, its director, Sean Murray, said the project will be even more ambitious than the team’s past foray> he also showed off a trailer.
Light No Fire takes Hello Games from the sky to the ground. The game places players on a fantasy Earth complete with living skeletons, dragons, orcs, and even giant birds. Like No Man’s Sky, it seems aimed at creating a sandbox world that players can get lost in. Also, like its predecessor, Light No Fire‘s world is all procedural, meaning that it will constantly change and make things different with every visit. It can be assumed that this will be the case with the flora, fauna, and many other elements of Light No Fire.
Unlike No Man’s Sky, Light No Fire will have online multiplayer as one of its focal points. During the trailer, we see multiple players mounting dragons to take to the skies, riding deer, and swimming through water together. Among these players were a few that took the form of humanoid bunnies. We hope that there will be multiple fantasy races to pick from when creating a character.
Murray confirmed that Light No Fire will be constantly updated for years after its release. There is no confirmed release date at this time.
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 One of my first gaming rigs was an Acer Predator that was already outdated when I bought it.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.
