Welcome to the chaotic and devastated world of Tom Clancy’s The Division

Source: Gamer’s Hell

Ubisoft has unveiled a new video for Tom Clancy’s The Division, an online, open-world RPG developed by Massive Entertainment and due to launch on March 8th, 2016 for PC, Xbox One and PlayStation 4. The beta test will take place in early 2016.

A devastating pandemic sweeps through New York City, and one by one, basic services fail. In only days, without food or water, society collapses into chaos. The Division, a classified unit of self-supported tactical agents, is activated. Leading seemingly ordinary lives among us, The Division agents are trained to operate independently of command, as all else fails. Fighting to prevent the fall of society, the agents will find themselves caught up in an epic conspiracy, forced to combat not only the effects of a manmade virus, but also the rising threat of those behind it.

More game information can be found on the official Tom Clancy’s The Division website.

If you’re playing Rainbow Six: Siege on PC, there’s an extra treat waiting for you today alongside the latest update – and it’s one you’ll definitely want to grab if you’re playing on a higher-end rig. Download the Ultra HD Texture Pack, and you’ll get new weapon and character textures that look amazing at resolutions up to 4K.

You don’t need a 4K monitor or ultra-high-end graphics card to take advantage of the new textures, however. For example, if you’re running a GPU with at least 4 GB of memory, you’ll notice a difference when using the new textures between 1080p and 1440p resolutions. Rainbow Six: Siege looks even better on a GPU with 6 GB or more, which lets players take full advantage of the Ultra HD Texture Pack at 4K resolution.

Finally, those running dual GPUs with 6 GB or more each will be able to breach walls and rescue hostages with the game looking its absolute sharpest, with 4K resolution, Ultra HD textures and the highest settings for lighting and shading.

The Ultra HD Texture Pack is available today as free DLC through Uplay and Steam. It’s separate from the update that’s also available now – which brings an auto-kick feature for intentional team killers, closes an exploit that let defenders leave their building duras well as bug fixes, matchmaking changes and a number of other improvements – so if your hardware is up to the challenge, be sure to grab it and make sure your Operators always look their best. Details on the larger update can be found here , and there’s always more news at the Rainbow Six: Siege blog.

Wargaming is proud to announce the new Czechoslovakian Tech Tree for World of Tanks is ready to carve out a name for itself in Update 9.13. This line rolls out to battle with light and medium vehicles, giving tankers new weapons in their ever-growing arsenal to outwit and outhit their opponents.

Sitting proud at the top end of the Tech Tree are the Tier 9 and 10 Škoda TVP tanks. Boasting excellent accuracy, when combined with their range and stabilization, these powerful vehicles create a perfect recipe for destruction. Also joining the fight is the Tier 7 Konštrukta T-34/100, an upgraded version of the Soviet T-34 with an improved armament that will be very familiar to experienced players.

“With a rich and interesting tank-building history, World of Tanks could not pass up the opportunity to include these dynamic Czechoslovakian tanks into the game,” said Sergey Laptenok, Publishing Product Director, World of Tanks. “These vehicles, with a number of great features like maneuverability and autoloading guns, create an experience that players don’t want to miss out on.”

Also in Update 9.13 is the Czechoslovakian-inspired map “Pilsen”, which is set to be featured in Random and Rampage battles. This map was based on the actual Škoda tank factory in Pilsen that birthed a number of legendary vehicles. A first for World of Tanks, players will prowl around close-quarters environments within enclosed buildings.

Watch the Update 9.13 video here.

Dynamic, exclusive anime-inspired game mode coming to World of Warships

The battle-torn oceans in World of Warships are getting new and unique in-game content inspired by the naval-themed sci-fi anime “ARPEGGIO OF BLUE STEEL –ARS NOVA-”. This new mode is set to arrive soon, bringing with it special missions, skins for vessels styled on the anime, and more.

These series of missions will offer players great rewards modelled on the hi-tech reincarnations of warships featured in “ARPEGGIO OF BLUE STEEL –ARS NOVA-”. Captains can take the helm of Kongo-class battleships from the series, as well as other vessels that will be added in the future.

If that’s not cool enough, these unique vessels feature Mental Models (humanoid AI avatars) from the show as their commander and will appear with their special, designated vessels. The actual voiceover actress of the main heroine “Iona” has been recruited to lend her talent, calling out battle actions. Finally, players will also be able to select a special “ARPEGGIO OF BLUE STEEL –ARS NOVA-”-themed port to dock their Blue Steel fleet.

To learn more about the new “ARPEGGIO OF BLUE STEEL –ARS NOVA-” game mode, and to watch the announcement video, visit the official World of Warships portal.

Today we will be taking a look at the Aerocool Aero-1000 PC Case! Aerocool is very well-known for offering some amazing budget friendly cases that offer great functionality and performance. Choosing a new case, either for a complete new build or just to upgrade your current build can be quite the daunting task. Cases come in all sorts of colours, sizes and can have loads of different features that you may or may not need. One of the more recent case design changes I am personally a big fan of is that manufacturers have started to not always include any optical drive bays. This is great for me as I can’t remember the last time I used one, must be at least 6-years as I much prefer to use USB drives for anything one might use a CD or DVD for.
