McCree, the gunslinger from Overwatch, now has his own comic – learn more about his backstory here.
McCree on the Train – Comic of the Gunslinger
To prepare fans a little more for Overwatch, Blizzard has been releasing more and more material about the backstory of Overwatch in recent weeks. After the monkey from the moon, Winston, and the sexy sniper Widowmaker have already had their own cinematic, it is now McCree’s turn to be highlighted in more detail.
Although the comic is relatively short at 10 pages, it conveys a bit more personality of the gunslinger with the robotic arm, who can shoot faster than Lucky Luke. However, the story also leaves the reader with many questions – what exactly was being searched for on the train? Why is McCree still considered a wanted terrorist by Overwatch despite his “redemption”?
Unlike previous releases, this piece leaves fans with a hunger in their stomach – a bit like a teaser for an upcoming episode of their favorite series: While one is glad to have seen the heroes, one is not any wiser than before.

Currently, a statement from a “FOX News” moderator about Ubisoft’s MMO shooter is causing a stir in The Division.
Instead of another annoying report that we have had to write more often in recent weeks, there is something amusing to share about The Division today. Only for the game’s developers, the following may not have been too amusing.
Andy Levy from FOX News left Ubisoft’s MMO shooter in a poor light during a satirical live broadcast with a pointed remark:
It was about a contribution regarding the basic skills an 18-year-old needs today to succeed in college and later in life. Besides obvious points like the ability to talk to strangers or manage money, there was also a skill added, obviously by Fox News itself, which was to improve their character in The Division.
After Levy read this last point, he quickly added the remark:
… and that despite the way Massive nerfed the crafting system and allowed a bunch of super-equipped rogues to wipe you out in the Dark Zone. Thank you, idiot.

The URF mode has been disabled since today, but it was a showcase for many beautiful actions in League of Legends.
In recent days, players could enjoy a very special game mode in the MOBA League of Legends, which significantly changed the game and champion values. In the URF mode, players not only rolled their heads over the keyboard but also showcased how well they mastered various champions.
Impressive performance by Lee Sin in the URF mode in LoL
The player “Bubba Kush” seems to have been working with the blind monk Lee Sin for quite some time and showcased his experience in the special game mode in League of Legends. Various “plays” should be closely watched in slow motion to truly understand what is happening there.

In the brutal online game The Culling, a major update will introduce female characters.
The Culling fully embraces the battle royale mode. In an arena reminiscent of the “Hunger Games” film series, players fight against each other using everything they can find as weapons. You can craft axes and bows, but you can also find crates containing items like pistols or rifles. Essentially, it’s “every man for himself,” although temporary alliances with others are possible.
Women in the Game
The online game has been in early access since the beginning of March and is currently available for about 15 euros. Now, on April 27, a major update is coming that will bring a number of changes and new features, most notably female playable characters. After the update, you will also be able to play as a woman and try to survive – greetings to Katniss Everdeen. Additionally, it will be possible to create private lobbies to play with your friends.

New weapons, new ways to customize your hero, and new perks are also making their way into the online game. By achieving victories in the game, you will earn tokens. You can use these to participate in weekly tournaments, where exclusive loot awaits as a reward. Additionally, the lighting system has been improved, stability and balancing have been worked on, and Steam OS is now supported. This should make the fights in The Culling even more enjoyable.

The man at the top of Activision-Blizzard Robert Kotick took home $7,200,000 in 2015.
A brief message from Reuters: Activision-Blizzard has revealed what your CEO Robert Kotick took home in 2015 as a “compensation package”: It is $7.2 million. Converted, that’s approximately €6.4 million.
In 2014 it was slightly less, as Kotick earned $6.9 million.
He is not the top earner. The COO (Chief Operating Officer) of the company, Thomas Tippl, received $8.9 million in 2015, while Tippl stood at $15.7 million the previous year.
Compensation packages refer to financial and non-financial benefits that senior corporate employees receive as pay.
Time for a look at the 5 major subscription MMORPGs in Spring 2016.
MMORPGs are not dead, they just smell a bit weird. In State of Play, we regularly look at where the “big subscription MMORPGs” stand.
This is expressly not about free-to-play games, and we also leave out all the “Yes, with difficulty, it’s somehow an MMORPG, but not really” games.
We focus on the 5 most important titles that can be classified as “subscription” MMORPGs. Here, we have both subscription MMORPGs like World of Warcraft and Final Fantasy XIV, as well as three buy-to-play MMORPGs with Guild Wars 2, The Elder Scrolls Online, and now new “Black Desert.”
No longer part of the State of Play is WildStar, which has switched to free-to-play. The Chua still waves from the cover image, but that’s about it.
Final Fantasy XIV – quiet year
Final Fantasy XIV has not achieved much yet in 2016 after the busy year 2015 with the release of Heavensward. After Heavensward, a longer break was taken to catch up on vacations. It seems that they still haven’t really woken up in 2016, although there were already 1 content patches in 2016 and the next 3.3 is coming. However, in the content patches, it’s more of the same: New tutorials are added, the onboarding experience is improved, and details are adjusted; it doesn’t really seem like the game is progressing.
Things are still completely quiet on the “When will the next expansion come?” front. Instead, they are grappling with unfamiliar problems. While the content machinery continues to run, with raids, side quests, main quests, what’s in store for crafters and much more, the mood seems to have shifted a bit in the last few months:
Fans often say it’s all too grindy, not well thought-out. After the weapons in A Realm Reborn, now again upgrading new Anima weapons in countless runs? Repeating old patterns diminishes players’ motivation. A troubling MMORPG truth shines through too clearly: “All efforts only count until the next item reset, and that’s definitely coming.”
The structural fundamental problem of Final Fantasy XIV becomes clearer year by year. Final Fantasy XIV is going in a completely different direction than the rest of the market.
While most other games have action elements in the mix, FF14 is classically with tab-target and a cooldown combat system. It follows a very classic MMORPG direction. If genre newcomers, hooked by Witcher 3 or a Dark Souls, want to turn to an MMORPG, it is probably rarely Final Fantasy XIV. But perhaps Final Fantasy XV will bring some new arrivals or at least shine a spotlight back on the franchise.
Generally, although this sounds critical: Final Fantasy XIV continues to offer players regular new content, stories, reliably brings fresh features, and seems not to be slacking off. However, the train to become a “mainstream phenomenon” in the West seems to have left the station. Heavensward apparently couldn’t change that.
The door to the mainstream remains closed. It is and remains a niche game, but that seems to be doing quite well.
Gameplay footage of No Man’s Sky has been released, showcasing the landscapes of five different planets. Additionally, the developers discuss the art behind the space simulation.
To say that No Man’s Sky is massive is likely an understatement. The space simulation by Hello Games is estimated to host approximately 18 trillion planets. The developers assume that only about 0.1% of the galaxy will ever be discovered by players.
So far, much has been said about the incredible scale of the game world in No Man’s Sky, and now we get to see in “IGN First” videos what art lies behind this ambitious project. Additionally, we can experience the journey across five very different planets, which gives us a glimpse of how unique each planet will be.
The Art of No Man’s Sky
In a video from IGN, the developers of No Man’s Sky discuss the artistic vision behind the game. One idea is that each planet should feature various creatures and unique vegetation, to drive the players’ curiosity: “What awaits me on the next planet? What will I see now?”
Players should feel immersed in a science fiction world, visualizing the images they once imagined in their fantasies while reading science fiction novels. Except, in No Man’s Sky, they can move freely within it, explore every corner, and continue their journey anytime.

The video shows you designs of various creatures and sketches of objects, as well as scenes of how it will look in the final product. The artistic efforts that have gone into this game are definitely impressive. A user comments:
Even if the game becomes a flop, it will still be a great screenshot/wallpaper generator.

The first planet is called Louil: This planet features sparse vegetation, few living beings, but is rich in minerals.
Yavil: This planet is full of life. There is water, dense vegetation, and it is teeming with living beings. However, many aliens are attracted to this place, so you shouldn’t expect to be alone here.
Yzheleuz: This planet is very close to a sun, at 751.5°Celsius you will need strong sunscreen. Accordingly, the planet’s surface is also very hostile to life.
Phlek: This planet is also not exactly inviting for a Sunday stroll. Toxic rain leads to a climate that produces questionable fungi – and shapeless beings.
Balari V: This planet is far from the center of a solar system, here you must prepare for -163.4° Celsius.
In The Division, the AUG variants of submachine guns have a good reputation among agents. We take a look at what makes the AUG in The Division special.
Currently, agents have several ways to obtain the coveted AUG submachine guns. They do not have to rely on luck this week, as there are two vendors that supply these popular SMGs. The weapon dealer in the Dark Zone sells a high-end blueprint for the AUG A3P Tactic with a gear score of 163. The specialized equipment vendor sells the AUG A3 Para XS in high-end quality at the Base of Operations with a maximum value of 204. Is it worth buying?
What makes the AUG A3 Para XS special in The Division
All AUG variants of submachine guns come with the same base stats. The fire rate is 725 without mods, and the magazine size is 25. Here are the other stats:
At this point, a comparison with other submachine guns in The Division can be fruitful. When talking about SMGs in this MMO shooter, the keyword Vector must come up, a popular SMG variant. Compared to the Vector, the AUG stands out with a higher base damage; however, the fire rate is slightly lower. The Vector has a fire rate of 750. In both weapons, the small magazine size is a disadvantage. Here, the MP5 or Midas in The Division have advantages.
The AUG is a submachine gun that can deal a lot of damage in a short time. However, this power is interrupted by the need to reload frequently. However, one can counteract this with appropriate mods.
If you obtain the AUG through loot or craft it with a blueprint, the talents are random. If you acquire the high-end AUG A3 Para XS from the tech wing of the Base of Operations, you can expect the following fixed talents:
Brutal: With this weapon, headshot damage increases by 24.5% (Requirement: 2579 firearms).
Malicious: Critical hit chance increases by 13.5% when at full health (Requirement: 2063 firearms, 2579 stamina).
Careful: Eliminating a target has a 23.5% chance to refill the magazine.
Additionally, this weapon has a bonus of +22.5% critical hit chance.
What the AUG can do in PvE and PvP in The Division
To utilize the talents of this AUG A3 Para XS from the specialized equipment vendor, a offensive tank build in The Division that is usable in both PvE and PvP is recommended, as it focuses on stamina and firearms. Furthermore, a submachine gun that excels at mowing down enemies at close range fits perfectly with the offensive playstyle of a tank.
What do the agents say about the weapon?
Both in PvP and PvE, the AUG is a “beast”. Agents praise its handling and stability; even without mods, it handles well, and the recoil is manageable. By increasing stability, it hardly pulls up at all. It is quite easy to land multiple, precise headshots with one magazine.
Moreover, the range of this weapon is better than many agents expected. One player claims that the AUG is an assault rifle in the body of a submachine gun, which feels great.
The conclusion of most agents who own an AUG is as follows: It is the best submachine gun in the game, provided you compensate for its magazine size disadvantage with mods. This applies to PvE as well as the Dark Zone. It is hard to find bad reviews about this weapon in the reddit forum.
However, it is often pointed out that it always depends on the random talents with which the AUG comes. Talents that increase headshot and critical hit damage are popular – specifically those that quickly diminish enemy health. The talents that the AUG A3 Para XS from the specialized equipment vendor comes with are therefore not considered a “God-Roll” but rather solid.

If you have not yet enjoyed an AUG and have saved the necessary Phoenix Credits – 814 in total – it may be worth visiting the vendor in the tech wing. Specifically, while this may not be the best SMG in the game, you can successfully run through the post-apocalyptic New York with it.
The movie “Warcraft: The Beginning” will deviate from the lore in some points. Additionally, there’s a look into the inn of Goldshire!
Minor deviations from the lore enhance the movie
At PAX East, Duncan Jones, the director of the film, dropped some hints about the upcoming Warcraft movie. He confirmed that the film would deviate from the lore of the games and books. However, these changes are supposed to be “small and subtle” and to enrich the film.
Although Jones does not mention where the film’s story will diverge from the game and novel, fans (and demons) have already identified a few deviations:
Unlike in the original game, many Orcs coming through the Dark Portal are not visibly corrupted by Fel magic yet, and are thus brown instead of green.
The city of mages, Dalaran, is already flying in the air in the film, even though it should still be firmly anchored to the ground at this time in the original.
Lastly, the actress playing Garona has repeatedly stated that she portrays a hybrid of Orc and Human – but in the game’s lore, she is a hybrid of Orc and Draenei.
One can only hope that these reinterpretations of the lore do not lead to logical errors within the film – because at least the aspect with Garona would then be extremely questionable. Wait and drink herbal tea.
Moreover, Legendary has released a small “behind the scenes” video about the “Lion’s Pride Inn” or better known to us as “The Lion’s Den”. The inn of Goldshire closely resembles the original from the film and features many small Easter eggs, such as a poster encouraging the hunt for goblins – you should definitely check it out yourself.

The game Rust does not offer character selection, you must play as a character, whether you want to or not. The development team states: The compulsion has done the game really welland sales are higher than ever.
The survival game Rust has received a gender compulsion with an update: You cannot create a character, but are assigned one that you must play. Now the development team has come forward and explained that the gender compulsion has benefited Rust: Sales have skyrocketed since the controversial change.
Start video
Rust – Official Trailer
Rust – Sales have increased by over 70 % since gender compulsion
What has the game introduced? About two weeks ago we reported that Rust now has female character models. This in itself is nothing bad, but players in Rust are forced into both gender and skin color, which can no longer be changed as it is tied to the Steam ID. When the update was introduced, some players complained loudly: They now have to play as women and would rather not log in anymore. Some even said that Rust has dug its own grave with this and that it is only a matter of time before the game is “dead”.
Now the (more or less) surprising reaction: No. Rust is doing better than ever before.
Garry Newman, the founder of Facepunch Studios, has published some graphics on Twitter clearly showing how Rust has developed since the release of the controversially discussed patch. The statement is quite clear: Daily sales have increased by 74 %.
According to Newman, they have “never experienced anything like this,” except for the big Steam sales. With a touch of humor, they also say, “Linux sales have nearly doubled! From 4 to 7 per day.” But even more telling are the 2300 sales on Steam, compared to just under 1300 before.
In response to the negative criticism, he also has an answer. “That was definitely the loud minority,” he says in an email to Kotaku:
This is usually the case with all changes we make. On the Internet, you hear some opinions from people who haven’t played the game for months or have never played it at all. If we really want to know what people think, we anonymously join a server and ask for opinions there. The feedback from people who actually play the game is the most valuable.
With the latest update for the online action game Mechwarrior Online , the loyalty system of the factions is being introduced.
In the online game Mechwarrior Online, there are various houses that wage war against each other. You can determine which house you want to fight for. However, the system becomes more complex with the latest update, as you determine how loyal you are to a house.
You have the choice of whether you want to make a career as a loyalist of a house or whether you act as a mercenary, working for the houses that pay the best depending on the job situation. Additionally, you can also be a freelancer who stays out of it as much as possible and only takes sides in emergencies.
War Planning and New Game Modes
Moreover, the war-planning feature has been integrated. With this, all players of a faction can vote together on who should be attacked next. Through a leaderboard, you can see who the best mech pilots are. Also new is the game mode “Extraction”. In this, two teams of four players each compete against each other. Your task is to capture at least one data point and then reach the extraction zone where a dropship is waiting for you.
Additionally, scouting missions are available to you. In these, you need to gather important data. Whoever succeeds can gain significant advantages in battles for their unit.
Mechwarrior Online allows you to engage in exciting and tactical team battles in the Battletech universe. You enter the cockpit of a so-called mech, a combat robot that you can improve and expand yourself. Each mech has different advantages and disadvantages that must be used tactically within the team. If you are interested in the MMO, you can download it as a free-to-play game via Steam.

Armored Warfare is a tank game, still in Open Beta, that is continuously being developed. Unlike the competition from World of Tanks, the PvE mode is particularly popular among fans.
After Poland and the Czech Republic, the focus will then shift to Korean and Scandinavian tanks. Additional tanks from China are not planned for the time being.
ARK: Survival Evolved has just delayed its release, but is significantly enhancing the content.
ARK sells 5 million copies, delivers community content
Although the release of ARK: Survival Evolved was recently postponed from summer 2016 to Christmas 2016, the game is doing fantastically. One record after another is being broken, with reports now citing 4 million copies sold for PC and 1 million versions for Xbox One.
The delay is partly due to the desire to provide a larger mod support than previously available. The community is being given the chance to develop their own mods, and if these are particularly popular or well-made, they may be included in the game. Two of these mods are expected to be released this year. Next month, in May, “The Center” will be released, a map so vast that it “more than doubles” the game’s content. In the summer, a second mod named “Primitive Plus” will follow.
Mods were initially only playable on PC – with these two expansions, they will be playable on Xbox One for the first time.

But the developers are also diligently providing their own content. Recently, patch 239 for the PC version was released, which adds two new animals to the game. “Dire Bears”, large bears, now roam the island while Mantas invite for cool surfing fun if tamed. In addition, players can now craft a chemistry table and a primitive cannon. Those particularly brave can venture into battle against the broodmother – she now has her own arena.
In The Division, the item bonus “Protection from Elites” is causing problems. It apparently has the exact opposite effect of what it should do.
Things are just not quiet around Ubisoft’s MMO shooter: Even though some exploits in The Division are being invented by users themselves, another bug has already appeared, contributing to the depressing atmosphere that one might have to believe. However, this time it is not an exploit that agents could profit from. Now a bug with an item bonus is causing discontent among players.
“Protection from Elites” faulty in The Division
As reddit user JaRrYc claims to have proven, the item bonus “Protection from Elites” does not provide increased protection from elite enemies at all. When agents equip items with this advantage, they instead take more damage than before. However, the description of this ability clearly states:
Additional reduction of damage dealt by named and elite enemies.
Various users have come across this annoying problem through analysis of the programming code and through self-experiments. Some screenshots have been uploaded to prove the situation. Below are two of them.
In this screenshot, the user had 11% protection from elites:
In this screenshot, the user had no 11% protection from elites: The comments on this post reinforce this discovery, which would explain a lot. Especially agents who had increased this value as tanks report that this issue troubled them. They were wondering why they looked so bad against elite enemies.
Therefore, the following advice: Better not rely on this talent for now to avoid hitting the virtual dust too soon.
So far, there has been no official statement from Massive. This reddit post was only published today. However, since it is spreading like wildfire, the developers will likely be able to resolve the issue soon.
In the MMORPG ASTA the first content patch is already available, even though the game is still officially in beta.
New Difficulty Level for Raids in ASTA
Technically, the “Korean World of Warcraft,” ASTA, is not yet out of its beta phase, but that seems to be just a formality. The game received its first content update on April 18, which mainly brought new difficulty modes and a fresh PvP arena map.
The biggest change is the introduction of a “very hard” mode for the existing raid instances, which can be completed once a day. In general, the bosses have become stronger and use better abilities, and they use them more frequently.
In addition, there is a new arena, the “Ora Fortress Underground Arena,” where players can engage in classic 5vs5 combat. Furthermore, players can now also participate in intra-faction battlegrounds, allowing them to fight with their own faction.
Aside from that, there were also some nerfs to the Mage. The Mage was too strong with certain spells, or could heal himself too effectively. You can find a complete list of the patch notes in our sources.
In the coming weeks, the team aims to focus on fine-tuning the existing systems, even though everything looks quite solid overall.
The ESL has banned the pro gamers who were financially supported by the porn site YouPorn.
A few months ago, it made headlines: Youporn is entering esports. Apparently, there were overlaps in the target audience identified. Data from competing websites support this assumption.
The PR stunt or, from another point of view, the esports engagement of the porn website has now come to an end. The ESL (Electronic Sports League) has severed all ties with the pro gamers from “Team YP.” They were active in games like Evolve, CS:GO, Starcraft II, Mortal Kombat X, and Ultra Street Fighter IV.
As a reason for the ban, the ESL stated to the US site Gamespot that many of the other partners had strict “No drugs, no alcohol, no pornography” rules. And adherence to these rules is also contractually mandated. These rules have been in the regulations for a long time. They had been in contact with Team YP’s management in recent months to find a solution.
The management of Team YP is disappointed with the decision. They find it unfair. After all, the team is modest and decent, by no means offensive and strictly separated from the sponsors. Team YP, in the management’s view, has nothing to do with porn, is a completely different brand, and is house-trained.
Through social media, they are apparently trying to establish the hashtag “#FreeTeamYP”.
The title image comes from the US website Gamespot.

In Destiny, the exotic shotgun Lord of Wolves came with the April update into year 2. We will show you what makes this special “shotgun” so unique.
Lord of Wolves is an unconventional “shotgun” that resists classification into previous categories. This weapon shares similarities with pulse rifles as it fires five bursts of burning “shot” at enemies per shot.
Guardians who were not familiar with this weapon from year 1 say they were overwhelmed by the “wow” effect when they first used it. Why is that?
How to get the year-2 version of Lord of Wolves in Destiny
In year 1, you could obtain Lord of Wolves through an exotic quest in the Prison of Elders. In the second year of Destiny, you still need to go into the Prison to farm the shotgun. Here are the sources:
Challenge of the Elders: Complete the Challenge of the Elders in the newly revamped Prison of Elders to earn Lord of Wolves as a random reward.
Xur: The Agent of the Nine sells this item from time to time.
What makes Lord of Wolves in Destiny special
The exotic special weapon deals solar damage and won’t impress anyone with just a glance at its stats. Particularly, its impact can’t compete with the best shotguns. However, it excels in other talents we will look at shortly. First, let’s see the stats in the graphic:
Touch of Malice: Hits with this weapon grant nearby allies +3 recovery. Lasts for 30 seconds.
Hip Fire: This weapon grants you additional precision when firing from the hip.
Additionally, you can choose between Perfect Balance (lower recoil), Fast Reload, and Extended Magazine.
With Soft Ballistics, Drift Control, and Linear Compensator, you can tweak recoil, impact, and range a bit.
These perks probably won’t send the guardians into cheers. However, Lord of Wolves has hidden talents that only reveal themselves when transitioning from theory to practice:
When you pull the trigger with Lord of Wolves, the weapon fires five pulses at your enemies at once. One advantage of this is that you can deal significant damage to enemies, eliminating them before they even know what’s happening. However, controlling these 5 shots to ensure they reach their target is not easy. This shotgun is not easy to master.
Also noteworthy are its magazine size, reserve ammo, and reload speed. Compared to other shotguns, the entire magazine can be filled with just one smooth motion, allowing you to quickly get back into the action.
What can Lord of Wolves do in PvE and PvP?
In both PvE and PvP, Lord of Wolves only favors a specific playstyle: a very aggressive one. If you prefer to operate from the background, you should rely on other special weapons.
If you enjoy getting close to the darkness and other guardians in the Crucible, the weapon receives a thumbs up from many users. Especially for stopping guardians with active supers in the Crucible, it would prove its worth, as its range turns out to be better in practice than the stats suggest.
Some users also report it can stir things up in the Trials of Osiris in the right hands. However, this also presents the greatest downside of this weapon: the 5-shot bursts must first be controlled. Guardians who are used to a shotgun firing only one load of shot per trigger pull will need to adjust.

Most guardians agree on one thing: Lord of Wolves definitely feels exotic, both in power and design. However, it probably won’t set new standards in year 2, as it hasn’t been labeled as an over-weapon yet. Nevertheless, one can conclude: Lord of Wolves is easy to love, but not easy to master.
What do you think of Lord of Wolves? Have you already obtained the year-2 version?

In The Division , gaming sites are reporting about a new “glitch” – but this time it’s fictional.
It’s a great story. Here it goes: If you fall through the ground near the boss in “Falcon Lost”, enemies will throw grenades at you. And this kills the final boss without you taking damage.
The story fits the current climate around the game: “Oh God, is your game buggy, Ubisoft!”
We first noticed the story a few days ago on Gamespot, but it was quickly deleted there. Meanwhile, several large English-speaking sites, as well as a German gaming site, have picked up the story and report about the embarrassing state of the game: New glitches keep appearing. As soon as one is fixed, another one pops up, the sites wrote.
They agreed with the fans who in the comments under the articles mocked The Division and Massive. They said they couldn’t keep their game under control. A new bug every day. The sources for the story are a bit strange. One site refers to another. A large German site refers to the site “pixeldynamo”, which claims to have learned about the glitch on reddit.
It was also mentioned on the large international forum reddit, only: It was a joke. The Redditor from whom the post about the supposed glitch originated, which then caused such a stir, clarified this morning: It was a joke. The Redditor wanted to demonstrate that the “trick”, even if it was wrong, got more views than his “legitimate” guide to the boss. The latter hardly received any attention.
It is particularly striking that the glitch was picked up by many gaming sites under the title “How to complete the incursion even after the hotfix”. The user listed a number of gaming sites that fell for his “hoax” and reported on it without testing the glitch – among the list are some very well-known English-speaking gaming sites.

For the upcoming shooter Doom, the graphics options for PC have been announced.
The Windows PC version of Doom will offer a variety of graphics options. Not only will the FPS lock of Doom be removed on PC, but an image format of 21:9 is also expected to be supported, allowing for a wide field of view.
Graphics Options for Doom on PC
As Chief Technical Officer Robert Duffy confirms, PC players will be able to tweak their experience in Doom thanks to numerous graphics settings, benefiting from the diverse options available. Many settings were not accessible to players during the open beta, but id Software considers them just as important as the demanding PC gaming community. Duffy said:
PC gaming is in our DNA here at id.
Therefore, they will also love to tinker with the settings to achieve the desired experience – as far as the PC’s performance allows.
Below are the expected “advanced settings” that will be available at the launch of Doom:
Manually Lock Framerate (un-locked by default)
Lights Quality
Chromatic Aberration Toggle
Shading Quality
Post Process Quality
Particles Quality
Game F/X Quality
Decal Quality

We have sorted and listed all cards from the Hearthstone expansion “Whispers of the Old Gods”.
Since the livestream last Thursday (April 21), all 134 cards of the upcoming expansion “Whispers of the Old Gods” from Hearthstone have been revealed. In order for you to have all the new cards at a glance, we have created several galleries for you to view all cards. The new cards are expected to find their way into the game starting Tuesday, April 26, . 13 card packs will be available for Hearthstone players to earn through quests or receive as gifts without spending money.
On the following pages, you will find all cards of the upcoming expansion, sorted by the different classes. You can either use the navigation at the end of the page or directly select your favorite class here.
