No More Heroes 3, which was previously a Nintendo Switch exclusive, is coming to PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and PC (via Steam and Microsoft Windows Store) on October 11, 2022.
This announcement comes with a new trailer, showcasing the game’s improved framerates and HD visuals for its new platforms. You can pre-order the game from the X-Seed website now.
When No More Heroes 3 launched for Switch in 2021, it received positive reviews, with critics praising its writing, action, and music. The game had suffered from a lengthy development cycle, which was exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic.
No More Heroes 3 places you in the shoes of Travis Touchdown, a professional assassin tasked with eliminating targets in order to reach the top of the Galactic Superhero Rankings, while also saving the world in the process (no big deal). It features an open world, fast-paced hack-and-slash gameplay, and a beautiful, vibrant art style. The game is flashy and features tons of fan service, making it a standout entry in the series.
The previous No More Heroes game, Travis Strikes Again: No More Heroes launched in 2019 and received mixed reviews. No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle was the last numbered installment, which came to the Wii in 2010.
The No More Heroes series comes to us from Goichi Suda (AKA Suda51), who’s best known for ridiculous action games such as Killer7, Shadows of the Damned, Lollipop Chainsaw (which is getting a remake next year), Killer is Dead, and free-to-play action RPG Let it Die. Many of Suda51’s games have gone under the radar, but have amassed cult followings thanks to their wackiness and over-the-top action sequences.
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 One of my first gaming rigs was an Acer Predator that was already outdated when I bought it.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.
