![]() Xbox head Phil Spencer appeared to reassure everyone that Microsoft was really super-serious about PC gaming. Creative Assembly and SCS Software couldn’t be assed to show up, so they sent in videos. The developers of Deus Ex: Mankind Divided then showed AMD what boring really meant by talking about their game engine. AMD reminded everyone what PC gaming is about by showing off expensive graphics cards and challenging the audience to stay awake during a tech discussion. Chris Roberts sent in a video to gloat about Star Citizen crowd-funding more money than many small countries’ gross domestic product. Tripwire Interactive talked about Killing Floor 2, and announced Rising Storm 2: Vietnam. Developers may be working on a patch to fix these issues. ![]() The venue appeared to be a spruced-up cafeteria or perhaps a mid-sized business lobby. The early access release included awkward public speaking, technical glitches, a clumsy late-night show interview format, and droning hardware talk. Hosted by Sean “Day9” Plott, sponsored by PC Gamer and AMD, it featured every cliche you’ve heard about PC gamers. Halo 5: Guardians will launch on October 27th for the Xbox One.Ĭonsider the first-ever PC gaming E3 press conference a beta product. All REQ content in the game can earned through the regular course of play in multiplayer. We’ll be continuing to release new REQ content, post launch, so there are always new toys to play with. The REQ System is designed to generously reward players with a steady stream of content to keep gameplay fresh. Players will be able to purchase packs for real money “as a matter of convenience” and part of that revenue will be used to fund the Halo 5 esports tournament prizes. In the team-based Warzone mode, packs may be used to acquire weapons and vehicles for use during the match. In the player-versus-player Arena mode, these packs will give players cosmetic items like armors, weapon skins, and animations. Playing Halo 5: Guardians’ Arena or Warzone multiplayer modes will result in the award of points that can be redeemed for Requisition Packs. But what’s this? Buried in the descriptions for the the two most expensive versions is something about “Premium Requisition packs to enhance Spartan combat.” That sounded ominous to some Halo fans, so Microsoft was asked to explain.ģ43 Industries’ Josh Holmes was quick to post some details of the new Requisition (REQ) System. There’s a $60 standard price for the game, a limited edition bundle for $100 that includes some digital goodies, and a $250 package that includes a statue you can proudly display in your closet. Shortly after Microsoft’s E3 press briefing on Monday, more details of Halo 5: Guardians’ pricing was released. Killing Floor 2 is currently available in early access on Steam. NVIDIA pointed out that Flex could be used for more mundane simulations like bursting water balloons, but why not skip straight to zombie guts? It’s the enemy in 70% of games now anyway. And should another Bloat be popped, the force of his internals exploding outward will further manipulate the disgusting Flex-powered mess that’s already been created.Ĭharming. Blood and bile intermix, body parts and fluids are scattered by explosions and the Siren’s scream, and everything interacts realistically with geometry and objects. If all goes to plan, Killing Floor 2 will be the first game to ship with NVIDIA’s new tech that combines simulations of various materials.Īs the Bloat waddles towards players he’ll vomit Flex-powered bile as a ranged attack, and when gibbed his lungs, intestines and skull will spew forth, in addition to buckets of blood and smaller giblets. That technology comes from NVIDIA, which of course, couldn’t really be talked about during the venue which was sponsored by graphics card rival AMD. If you watched the E3 show, you may have caught the sneaky exchange between host Sean Plott and Tripwire’s John Gibson regarding some tech they were using to make their game more visceral. After kicking off the inaugural E3 PC Gaming Show, Tripwire Interactive is showing off more of their zombie shoot-a-thon Killing Floor 2.
