Nvidia has lifted the lid on its mid-range gaming GPU series, revealing the price, release date and some specs of RTX 4060 Ti and RTX 4060 graphics cards.

"The lineup includes three new graphics card models, as there are both 8GB and 16GB versions of the GeForce 4060 Ti coming out. The GeForce RTX 4060 Ti 8GB price is $399 (£389), while the GeForce RTX 4060 Ti 16GB price is $499."

New graphics cards for the PC Master race to bi-annually upgrade and then claim it's cheaper than console gaming because they buy loads of games cheap in the Steam sale and never get around to playing them.

Tencent Drops Official Announcement Trailer For Global Version Of “WoW Replacement” Tarisland
The sandbox MMORPG is coming to mobile and PC globally this year.



"Tarisland, the sandbox MMO developed by Tencent to replace World of Warcraft in China following Blizzard’s exit from the market, is a step closer to launching globally. A little less than a month after the global website launched, Tencent dropped an official announcement trailer for the MMORPG. Mostly, it offers players a look at the game’s aesthetic – which is very WoW-like, but in a cuter way."

Maybe the MS-Activision acquisition thread is a better place, but... MS and nVidia have announced a 10 years GeForce Now partnership for X Box and Bethesda games (and probably Blizzard in the future).
This will be available from May 25th in US, UK, and EU.

Excellent news - TGM2+ is coming to Hamster's Arcade Achives on NSW and PS4!

https://www.4gamer.net/games/708/G070884/20230522050/

I was very excited about TGM coming to the service and did spend a good couple of weeks being utterly humbled by it, but 2 is where a lot of the really good system additions come in, like instant drop. I'm up for being exposed as a total Tetris fraud all over again!

Some of you lucky people might've snagged City Connection's Batsugun Boosted on the eStore or PSN earlier, but it would seem that the listing has since been removed in EU and US, with the release date on their site now being changed to "TBA". There's speculation that this is related to the game being licensed for physical release through a small-run physical publisher, but I don't think that's confirmed by anyone just yet.

If you want it now, you've still got digital and physical options for console versions from Japan, and the Steam release is worldwide.

I wondered why it was listed with no price or option to buy earlier.

[briareos_kerensky]

Titles presented in Marvelous' showcase aired yesterday:

Loop8 Summer Of Gods (June 6, 2023; PS4, XBO, Switch, PC)

Story Of Seasons: A Wonderful Life (June 2023)

Rune Factory 3 Special (September 2023)

Fashion Dreamer (2023)
Some sort of JRPG were you play as a fashion influencer in a virtual world.

Project MAGIA
Not much shown, only character art by Hiro Mashima (Fairy Tail, EDENS ZERO).

Project LIFE is RPG
Only the logo and concept art have been shown, with some vague ideas the title will revolve around. Seems to draw a lot of inspiration from older JRPGs.

New Story Of Seasons
A multiplayer Story Of Seasons, maybe? They shown concept art and animals moving around the world, but again remained vague about specific details.

Rune Factory: PROJECT DRAGON
More has been shown about this one, with snippets of combat and story. Set in an eastern setting, with dragons you can ride and fly around floating islands.

Rune Factory 6
Just the logo, and this will follow the series' traditional western fantasy style.

Daemon X Machina Titanic Scion
Only a teaser

Numskull Is Releasing NEW TMNT Mini Arcade Cabinets



"Numskull has just announced the release of two super awesome quarter-scale arcade cabinets for the 1989 and 1991 classic Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles arcade games.

That is both Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and its sequel Turtles in Time coming to a (miniature) arcade near you. Or more accurately – to your home!"

I know lots of youse are big on Disco Elysium, myself included, but we've somehow ended up never having a thread for it, so I'm left posting this here. Much has been said and alleged about the current ownership of ZA/UM and the game's IP, a situation which described briefly, is very bloody messy. Makers of good gaming documentaries, People Make Games, have decided to try and make more sense of it and have produced a two and a half hour video on the topic.



Haven't watched it yet, and it's likely going to be watched in piecemeal fashion, but have high hopes this should be a good watch.

[wakka]

Oh wow. That looks good. Will watch, thanks.
