STALKER 2 shoots to the top of the Steam chart Horror fans have been waiting a long time for this, but GSC Game World finally released STALKER 2: Heart of Chornobyl unto the world yesterday. Amidst many setbacks – including the ongoing conflict in Ukraine – the team has had to push back development, partly to take care of themselves. Fortunately, it looks like the wait has been worth it. As of right now, STALKER 2 is rocking the Steam charts. It's currently dominating the Top Sellers list, coming in at number two just behind the Steam Deck. Of course, pretty much everything ends up behind the Deck. In terms of video games, GSC's newest release is number one. https://twitter.com/stalker_thegame/status/1859265478276894856 That puts it ahead of the likes of Disney Dreamlight Valley (which recently launched its Storybook Vale DLC) and Counter-Strike 2 , as well as Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 , which fell a couple of places recently. The numbers speak for themselves The developer has expressed delight at STALKER 2 surpassing 100,000 concurrent players on PC. At the time of writing, SteamDB is showing 113,587 people logged into the game within the past 24 hours, with over 65,000 currently in a game. Of course, this is common for new releases, especially ones many have been looking forward to. Games that have been hyped typically find themselves atop the Steam Top Sellers list, which does take into account pre-orders. How long Heart of Chornobyl will stay up there is anyone's guess, but we have seen a bunch of launches recently which could knock it down fairly quickly, such as the aforementioned Disney Dreamlight Valley DLC, as well as Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 . No doubt STALKER 2 's biggest fans will stick around, though. In any case, GSC Game World has said it intends to stick around, and is proud of what's been accomplished so far in what the studio is describing as its biggest project to date.

Now it has its eyes on a PC release, with Spike Chunsoft lining up a Steam launch for this winter. When Shiren the Wanderer: The Mystery Dungeon of Serpentcoil Island first debuted on Switch, it brought some updated features along with it. In addition to some quality of life updates to exploration, the roguelike made it even easier to stream with an enhanced Live Display Mode. All of the free feature updates will be available on the Steam version when it launches.

RPG beats to relax/study to Screenshot via Spike Chunsoft If the music of Shiren the Wanderer has you tapping your toes through each dungeon, the digital soundtrack is also coming to Steam soon.

Kingdom Hearts 2’s amazing Timeless River world gets a very cool Technicolor mod The Kingdom Hearts 2 Timeless River world has always been black and white as it's inspired by the first Disney cartoon Steamboat Willie. However, the world received a Technicolor mod on Saturday that gives it a colorful tone. Created by danimalforlife on Nexusmods , all of the character models and the world's environments are in color. Sora wears his signature red outfit from the first game, while Donald and Goofy are in their classic blue and green get-ups. As the trailer that danimalforlife has showcased demonstrates, it's quite a vast difference from the original black and white look. "Everything from the textures, to journal history, to pictures, has been given color," explains the modder in the Nexusmods listing. https://youtu.be/b53lAqlNEqA This mod is only available to PC players. You'll need to use KHPCPatchManager and OpenKH to turn on this Technicolor style in Timeless River. Thankfully, Nexusmods claims that the files are clean, as the virus scan claims they are "safe to use." Nevertheless, this Kingdom Hearts 2 Timeless River mod is impressive for those who love the beloved Disney series. Recently, Steamboat Willie has been claimed as fair use. This means that anyone can use the assets of the cartoon for their project. However, it may get tricky as you have to specifically use this version of Mickey and not the modern interpretation. Some games have taken the old-school animation art style and made them their own. Cuphead successfully grabbed the attention of many with its difficult gameplay and eye-popping art style that looks ripped from the early 20th century. Mouse: P.I. For Hire is also going old-school with black and white graphics with a first-person shooter. It's inspired by the hand-drawn rubber hose animation and jazz soundtracks of the era. It releases sometime in 2025. The post Kingdom Hearts 2’s amazing Timeless River world gets a very cool Technicolor mod appeared first on Destructoid .

Chasca Is Stylish in New Genshin Impact Trailer HoYoVerse released a new character trailer for Chasca, who’ll be an upcoming playable character in Genshin Impact Version 5.2. As a note, the English version of the trailer indeed uses English voice acting, as opposed to how recent trailers used the Japanese voice-over . You can watch the Genshin Impact Chasca trailer here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dRbFN8hrCLs It’s also available in Japanese , Chinese , and Korean . The trailer shows Chasca performing her duties as a Peacemaker, relying on brute force this time to stop a conflict. She doesn’t immediately jump into action though, as talking and drinking are also ways to negotiate. Like other trailer for HoYoVerse games, the trailer also includes plenty of scenes showing off Chasca’s animations, as well as her unique method of movement. Chasca will be a 5-star Anemo Bow character hailing from Natlan’s Flower-Feather Clan. Her banner will be in the first phase of Version 5.2, with fellow new Natlan character Ororon also debuting on that banner. Judging on what we know about her kit, Chasca will be a DPS character who can also make traveling around Teyvat a lot easier. Genshin Impact is readily available on the PS4, PS5, Windows PC, and mobile devices. The Xbox Series X of the game will come out on November 20, 2024 , which is the same date that Version 5.2 will come out on.

Portal 2 looks mighty tasty indeed with RTX Remix Portal 2 seems like a lifetime ago, now. It released all the way back in 2011 and was the last (and just the second) time Valve took us on a journey through its puzzle-based game with the sardonic robot antagonist. It's a shame we never got a third entry, as it feels like there's still so much to explore. Still, we can always make what we have look shinier. As noted by DSO Gaming , you can now play Portal 2 via Nvidia's RTX Remix software, which gives the game full Path and Ray Tracing features. To put it simply (because I don't understand how the tech works myself), it boosts the lighting and overall visuals, making you go "ooh, shiny," throughout. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yORRCNjgVxw You can download the mod – which was created by user xoxor4d – from GitHib . However, it should be noted that this is still a work in progress. The description on the download page says RTX Remix was "never intended to support Portal 2." As such, you may encounter one or two bugs or a few crashes, so do bear that in mind before you install it. Remixing the classics Here are the features for the RTX Remix compatibility mod of the game: Most things are rendered using the fixed-function pipeline. Remix friendly culling and the ability to manually override culling per visleaf . Per map loading of remix config files to set remix variables. Spawning of unique anchor meshes. As you can see from the video above, Portal 2 looks pretty striking. To be fair, even though it's been 13 years since it was released, the vanilla experience still holds up, but if you can get it running through Nvidia's toolkit, you'll definitely notice the visual differences. Nvidia launched the beta of RTX Remix at the start of this year. Since then, modders have been using it to inject a bit of Ray Tracing goodness into some classic games, including The Elder Scrolls 3: Morrowind , GTA: Vice City , Half-Life 2 , Tomb Raider , and even the original Unreal . We also got an official release of an RTX Remix version of the first Portal back in 2022, which looked stunning. However, it was notable for requiring a much beefier system to run when compared to the standard game. According to the Steam page , it even recommends a GeForce RTX 4080 graphics card and 32GB of RAM if you want to play it on "Ultra" settings. Maybe that's one of the reasons it has a review score of "Mixed." The post Portal 2 looks mighty tasty indeed with RTX Remix appeared first on Destructoid .
