For the PC, PS4, and Xbox One platforms, we are adding something we nicknamed the “High Frequency Bubble”.Continue here to read the full story.
Within a certain radius of the player, we add the possibility to update the clients at a higher rate from the server. What this essentially means is that the server will update the client on what is happening more often than before. This normally results in a smoother, more “correct” player experience.
The High Frequency Update is by default turned OFF in this release. You will have to enable this setting to take advantage of the improved networking. To support players with a limited bandwidth connection, we support three different levels: LOW, MEDIUM and HIGH. Most players with a connection faster than 1Mbit should be fine using the HIGH setting. If you experience any issues, lower or turn off the setting completely.
Starbreeze, one of Sweden's leading independent game developers, today announce that the sixth DLC pack for PayDay 2, titled “The Big Bank Heist”, will be launched on Steam on June 17th. The DLC pack will be available for purchase at $ 6.99 on PC through Steam and other digital distribution channels.Continue here to read the full story.
"The release of “The Big Bank Heist” marks something truly special for us. Not only is it our biggest, most advanced heist yet, where we introduce a new contact called “The Dentist”, played by Giancarlo Esposito. It is also a throwback to the roots of the PayDay franchise. For our veteran players, the heist will feel extra special because it has everything that we love about the original game: a huge setting, an intense heist plan and plenty of replayability. New masks and the addition of the preplanning feature enable players to plan out the heist like never before. Players attending E3 will be able to play the heist in our E3 booth and talk to us directly.” said Bo Andersson Klint, CEO, Starbreeze . As always, everyone can play the heist as long as the host has purchased the DLC.
The DLC features
- A new heist called “The Big Bank Heist”
- A new contact called “The Dentist” brought to life by actor Giancarlo Esposito, also known from the “Breaking Bad” TV series and from the “Usual Suspects” movie
- Preplanning, a new feature allowing players to plan out their heist in detail
- Four new masks based on American presidents of old
Kronos focuses on the continued decline of the four major empires and celebrates the concurrent rise of pirate factions and player influence across the constellations. It also heralds a change in EVE’s development structure, replacing two major expansions per year with up to ten releases. The change allows for more ambitious features, quicker delivery of content and functionality, and provides more frequent updates for players to look forward to.
In Kronos, EVE’s legendary space combat will forever change thanks to the new and deadly Mordu’s Legion ships, a stealthy mining frigate, and 38 other rebalanced ships and drones. Gorgeous visual changes include reimagined solar flares, warp effects and new ship skins. An entirely customizable soundscape allows players to tailor their own audio experience.
Low-security space sites and dozens of other changes round out Kronos and set the stage for the massive industry features coming in July’s Crius release.

Powered by CryEngine 3, Enemy Front gives players breathtaking visuals, spectacular set pieces and destructible environments to interact with through iconic World War II resistance operations.
There have been a lot of changes made since the previous Stable version. The game has a much smoother difficulty curve, more information for new players, new line of sight mechanics, much improved AI and all sorts of finer polish.
The choice is therefore up to you whether you want to play the "final" version of the game now or whether you'd prefer to wait a couple of weeks to make sure any stability kinks have been ironed out. We'll make more of a song and dance about the release when it comes to the 16th, but I thought it was best to explain this update and make it available to anyone who did not want to wait that long!
Set in the late 1800s, HUNT depicts a world where so-called myths and folklore actually point to the terrifying truth about evil lurking just beyond the fringes of day-to-day life. Players act as hunters willing to take up arms and risk their necks by venturing into the deadliest of territories and facing the hideous creatures that have overrun them.Continue here to read the full story.
Adding to the thrill of the hunt is a special content generation system that ensures players never encounter exactly the same environment or set of enemies twice. As the surprises come thick and fast, the terror of knowing that one of the game's grueling boss battles could be just around the corner will keep everyone's pulses pounding. Defeating bosses will require close collaboration between hunters as they attempt to figure out and take down some truly terrifying monsters.
In The Black Glove, players need to alter the past of an artist, a filmmaker and a musical act. They'll do this to improve their work in the present. The first-person game is set in a theater called The Equinox, which, according to the developer, could exist in the past, present or future — assuming it exists at all. As you might expect, changing the past has an effect on the game's narrative and the world in which The Black Glove takes place.
"There are certain games of skill and chance that allow us to interact with what you might call fourth-dimensional space," Fielder said. "The goal is to satisfy the whims of the creator, the critic and the crowd. You're trying to improve the use of these creators' works in the present by changing their past." Characters will offer hints, sometimes in the form of their reactions, about just how a player can accomplish that, and what players do will alter the course of The Black Glove.

This song has been out in the public since 1996. The first half of it was released as a MIDI file along with the aforementioned game. The entire song was released as a CD Audio track on a later add-on pack for the game. From there, it went all over the place, as an MP3 file, a YouTube upload, and then as cover versions by too many people to count (including at least one very well known heavy metal band).
The one thing that hasn’t been out in the public is a full MIDI file of Grabbag. That’s because one never existed - until now.
If you’ve been waiting for the release of the complete, never-before-available MIDI file of Grabbag, then wait no longer. Thanks to the prodding of a LOT of people, the files are finally available, and you’ve come to the right place to get them!
Battle Fleet 2 is coming to all devices in June of 2014. The game expands the original concept of turn based naval combat where the player controls the angle and power of their guns and the movement of the ship to include a campaign conquest mode in addition to stand alone scenarios.
