Create-A-Sim enjoyers, your suffering is finally at an end. The Sims 4's next base game update is adding an «apply all» button for your Sim's makeup, accessories, and hairstyles. That new option, along with other quality of life improvements, will be coming next week alongside The Sims 4 Lovestruck expansion.
Prime Day is nearly in the bag for this year, but you can still snag some cheap PC gaming deals on little tools and accessories at the last minute if you're keen. If you, like me, are prone to saying «I should really get a…» about five times a year and just never making it happen, allow the discounts of a sale day propel you to making your own life easier.
I've been on the hunt for a new mechanical keyboard—ideally a cheap mechanical keyboard, if I'm being honest—for about six months now. Why has it taken me so long? It's the choice paralysis for me. I allowed our keyboard geek Jacob Ridley to tell me way too many things about how to pick one earlier this year and instead of decisively acting on that information I've entered the research event horizon where I will infinitely grow closer to making a decision without ever managing to arrive there.
This weekend, Thatgamecompany kicked off celebrations for the fifth anniversary of its Journey-like flying and collecting MMO Sky: Children of the Light with a giant in-game screen à la a Fortnite concert event. CEO Jenova Chen presented players with a list of upcoming features and improvements to the game—I'm unironically psyched for a favorite emotes quick list—but the big «one more thing» announcement at the end of the keynote was the game's autumn seasonal collaboration: Moomin.
Last week, EA released details on the upcoming Sims 4 Lovestruck DLC, which'll include a new urban world called Ciudad Enamorada, dating apps for your Sims, death by heartbreak, and polyamorous relationships. That last part seems to be what has a lot of players psyched, but there's been a little confusion over whether or not polyamory is paywalled.
I wasn't expecting to see Dragon Age: The Veilguard turn up at the Xbox Games Showcase over the weekend ahead of the gameplay reveal it had already planned for tomorrow. But turn up it did, with a CG trailer that had a lot of fans, including me, very nervous about the plastic-y, poreless character designs. Partly to quell that public panic, I'm willing to bet, BioWare just gave us a «sneak peak» at 24 seconds of the planned 15+ minute gameplay reveal tomorrow. Everyone take ten deep breaths. It looks better—probably.
The 10th annual PC Gaming Show has officially signed off, but you can catch all the trailers and reveals right here if you missed the premiere. As hosted by Sean Day[9] Plott, Mica Burton, and Frankie Ward, this year's show reached PC gamers around the world on Twitch, YouTube, and Bilibili. If it feels like PC Gaming is bigger than it's ever been since we started doing this yearly premiere, well, you're right. And this year's showcase sure made it feel that way.
The crafting survival genre is really going through a big second wave right now, and it's brought all sorts of wild new settings for us to explore, now including the tops of giant floating islands. Survival sandbox game Aloft brought a new trailer for its co-op demo to the PC Gaming Show today to share a look at building, fighting, and flying through the sky with friends.
