Computex 2018 - AMD is pushing for a strong Computex this year, with an exciting unveiling of Vega 20 on 7nm with 32GB of HBM2, but also their new project: Fenghuang 15FF, a new graphics chip for APUs,

Fenghuang 15FF is the internal codename for the graphics chip, with the current codename of DG02SRTBP4MFA applied. This chip should be part of the Zen+ APU family with 4C/8T of CPU power, 3GHz clock speed, and 2GB of HBM2 clocked at 1200MHz (2.4GHz effective).

AMD's new chip sports 28 CUs and 1792 SPs (up from 24 CUs and 1536 SPs on Vega 24) while there's 2GB of HBM2 at 2.4Gbps offering 307.2GB/sec memory bandwidth, which is up from the 1.6Gbps and 204.8GB/sec offered on Vega 24.

The first patch has been rolled out for Agony, this patch is bringing massive changes to aspects of the title such as adding more checkpoints, difficulty reductions and tweaks here and there.

According to the patch notes, the major changes that Agony will be facing are buffs to players stamina, difficulty changes to Easy Possession and a massive reduction of enemies in certain areas such as the The Pit, Fractal Forest, Mushroom mind and more.

Steam will be automatically downloading this update as soon as users decide to launch Agony, the patch is total of 3.9GB and if you are interested in viewing the full patch notes for the title visit the official Steam page here.

Capcom has announced the Mega Man 11 Complete Edition details for when the title is to be released in Japan, the details feature what will be included within the package.

According to the announcement from Capcom, Mega Man 11 Complete Edition will be featuring a physical game copy, a 32 page starter guide, poster, 64 pages of production notes, 30-year anniversary keychain, Mega Man 1-up piggy bank and a special collectors box.

At the moment the Mega Man 11 Complete Edition is unfortunately only planned for release in Japan, after the release though we could see a western announcement from Capcom and hopefully a debut of the title closer to the end of the year.

Computex 2018 - We knew it was coming from rumors from late April, but I've just had an industry source reach out to me moments ago here in Taipei that AMD will be launching their refreshed Vega 20 during Computex 2018.

AMD's new Vega 20 will be made on the new 7nm node fixing most of the mistakes and problems of Vega 10, it will come with up to a whopping 32GB of HBM2. If you were expecting a new Radeon RX Vega graphis card for the consumer market and gamers, think again - Vega 20 with 32GB of HBM2 on 7nm will be for the professional/workstation markets.

My source didn't tell me the price but did say it would be 'expensive' and that it would be announced during AMD's own Computex 2018 press conference which kicks off on Wednesday morning.

Anthem is getting a big showcase at EA's press conference this June.

EA Play should see an info blowout on BioWare's expansive and "massively ambitious" new IP, Anthem, complete with a new trailer as well as gameplay content and a full-on combat breakdown. Anthem will be a shared-worlds action-based shooter that blends the flexibility and shifting nature of online service games with BioWare's familiar narrative-driven structure, all wrapped in fast-paced mechanics, representing years of planning and untold investment from EA. Besides Battlefield V, Anthem should be the big star of the show.

Although Anthem was revealed last year and that we've had some pretty big clues about what the game will be like, EA and BioWare have been somewhat mum on exact details. Expect all of that to change at EA Play. "One thing we'll be showing in-depth this time around is combat," the publisher wrote, also saying that characters and story will be highlighted as well.

Chinese games giant NetEase has invested $100 million to fund Bungie's new "bold vision," which could kick off another big franchise/IP.

Things aren't so good with Destiny right now: Bungie is likely developing Destiny 3 while juggling DLC expansions and live updates to shore up the leaky ship that is Destiny 2. But what about the future when the dev's ten-year agreement with Activision is up? The once-mighty Halo studio has something up their sleeve...something interesting and big. And they've received a hefty investment from China's NetEase--an online-based games company that oversees numerous Blizzard games like Overwatch and Diablo III in the region--to shape and formulate their plan.

Bungie today announced the partnership news on its website, giving nebulous hints that something new is on the way (but not before Destiny 3).

On the heels of yesterday's big leak, Ubisoft formally confirms Assassin's Creed: Odyssey is happening.

The next Assassin's Creed game aims to push the bar even further than Origins: the open-world adventure is called Odyssey and takes place in ancient Greece, and will focus on a new set of protagonists. Shortly following the leaks Ubisoft announced the game with a short Tweet, but a full-on reveal is scheduled for the company's E3 2018 press briefing.

The tiny teaser clip for Odyssey does strongly hint the game will revolve around the Greco-Persian Wars, which cut a bloody swath in the Mediterranean while also giving rise to Athens as a gem of the ancient world. The clip shows the infamous King Leonidas-kicking-a-Persian-messenger scene before the doomed Battle of Thermopylae, where Xerxes sacked Athens. We should also see other famous battles like the Battle of Plataea which ended the invasion, and the successive Battle of Mycale that crushed the Persian fleet.

Bandai Namco has announced that another fighter is coming to Soulcalibur V's roster, joining the fight this time round we have the very iconic and memorable Maxi.

Recently, we have seen some other classic Soulcalibur character reveals, such as Siegfried, Taki and Geralt. Now, Bandai Namco has released a new character trailer, this time detailing Maxi who has been apart of the Soulcalibur series since the very first game.

Bandai Namco has released some information regarding Maxi's story, here is what was said "Maxi's father had worked in the Ryukyu Kingdom as a merchant. Though fortunate enough to experience different cultures from his trade, he felt tied down by his job. On his deathbed, he told Maxi to go out and see the world. Deciding to live by these words, Maxi set out to seek total freedom. He found this out at sea where he became a pirate to see the world his father couldn't."

A Twitter user has posted what seems to be a picture of confidential Nintendo event materials, on the material ports for numerous titles can be spotted.

The leak originates from a 4Chan post which says that the user who took the image works on a showroom floor, and that these ports for Fortnite, Paladins and Dragon Ball FighterZ will be revealed at this years E3.

According to both Kotaku and Destructoid, this rumor is accurate and that they are confident that these titles will be revealed during this years E3. According to Kotaku, throughout the E3 scheduling process a source close to Epic Games confirmed that Fortnite was in fact going to be revealed for the Nintendo Switch. If this is true and this image isn't faked we could see quite a few titles be announced for the Nintendo Switch, some which we expected and some that will surprise us.

Microsoft is ramping up the hype machine for E3 2018 and their Xbox consoles, with Xbox boss Phil Spencer teasing that Microsoft will be pushing first-party development on Xbox again, and it seems it could be a huge E3 2018 because of it.

Microsoft has teased that it will be showing off a "new battle royale experience", but I don't think this is an unannounced game, but more of a real-life blended with games event. Microsoft said they will host a "special showing of HypeZone Live featuring a new battle royale experience. Players can compete to see if they can make it into the HypeZone and walk away with some sweet swag".

To be honest, I was hoping to see some sort of epic Halo Battle Royale variant, which could've been really freaking cool.

Valve has exposed all of Steam's massive 125 million strong PC gaming community to a remote code execution (RCE) vulnerability, which was only just discovered now after 10 years.

Tom Court, a security researcher at Contextis said that while the bug was bad, it is now fixed. Court explained: "The keen-eyed, security conscious PC gamers amongst you may have noticed that Valve released a new update to the Steam client in recent weeks. This bug could have been used as the basis for a highly reliable exploit. This was a very simple bug, made relatively straightforward to exploit due to a lack of modern exploit protections".

Steam was vulnerable because of a heap corruption within the Steam client library that could have been remotely activated. If hackers did this, they would have full control to the PC in question, which as you can imagine... wouldn't be good.

NVIDIA has teased its "next generation mainstream GPU", something it will detail at the Hot Chips 30 symposium on August 20, without any new details provided. Is this the first real tease of the GeForce GTX 1180?

There's no announcement of which GPU architecture NVIDIA is talking about, but from my sources from a few months ago the next GeForce release will be based on the Turing GPU architecture. NVIDIA has said that Stuart Oberman, VP of ASIC engineering at NVIDIA will present the next-gen mainstream GPU at the event.

We don't have anything else to report at this time, but with a release window of sometime in Q3 2018, we should expect NVIDIA to use GDDR6, which goes into mass production at the same time.

As is the case for all games-makers, Avalanche is ever moving forward with establishing and developing new titles...could this mean Just Cause 4 is happening?

It really shouldn't be any surprise that Avalanche Studios--like all studios--is working on new games. Most notably of Avalanche's new slate is RAGE 2, a huge new open-world "shooterverse" that it's co-developing with id Software for Bethesda Softworks. But what about other projects like, say, Just Cause 4?

Avalanche was recently bought by Nordisk Film for 89 million Euros, and by June Nordisk will have full ownership. This acquisition won't affect Avalanche's creative control or direction, the studio says, and it'll continue doing what it does best: making new IPs and working with third-party publishers on games. In the press release, Nordisk Film Games' Mikkel Weider said something interesting:

Ubisoft's next Assassin's Creed game takes place in ancient Greece, according to new leaks.

When I played through Assassin's Creed: Origins, one clear thought came through: the next chapter should be set in Greece. Apparently this is happening--the next Assassin's Creed game is called Assassin's Creed: Odyssey and will take place in ancient Greece--that's according to a new leak from JeuxVideoLive.

Assassin's Creed: Odyssey will feature different heroes, sources have told Kotaku, and will push the series' RPG mechanics to new heights, including adding dialog options to interact with NPCs and possibly even change the outcome of quests. Considering a lot of amazing occurrences in ancient Greek history happened before Bayek's time, such as The Pelopponesian War between Athens and Sparta or Xerxes' failed invasion of Athens in 480 BC, I'm hoping Odyssey doesn't follow Bayek's continued journeys.

A Borderlands: Game of the Year Edition listing has been spotted on The Korean Game Rating Board, the yet to be confirmed remaster of the first game will be coming to the PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC.

Gearbox the developers of Borderlands and Publisher 2K games have yet to confirm this news so certainly take it with a grain of salt. The original Borderlands was released back in 2009 on the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC and was widely received creating a very popular franchise.

Since then, the follow up games Borderlands 2 and Borderlands: The Pre-sequel have been remastered for new-gen platforms in what is called The Handsome Collection. The original Borderlands was not apart of this collection, which would make sense for this news is true about a Game of the Year Edition. Another than that, there really isn't anything else to go off of, hopefully leading into E3 2k Games clears this up with an announcement.

Agony, the recently released title from Maximum Games has had some 4K screenshots taken, they showcase a beautiful hell that players will be immersed in.

Agony is a first-person survival horror title that allows players to experience what it is like to be a tortured soul in the depths of hell. The character that players play has no memories of its previous life but has the ability to posses and control enemies and people, this ability will be vital to players that want to survive their journey.

If you are interested in picking up Agony it can be found on the Steam Store and is currently 10% off. To finish off, here is a quote from a CueZero who has already played and reviewed the title, this is what he had to say "Agony keeps you shifting through the nightmarish scenery at a constant and steady pace, and that's something I appreciate in the often slow-burning genre."

At the end of March we saw SEGA announce that they had a "Top Secret" Sonic Racing game in the works, Walmart has spilled the beans on this one with a listing for the title on their website.

Walmart lists the title of the game as 'Team Sonic Racing' and also reveals that players will be able to enjoy a fast-paced racing arcade game that also features a competitive element, as players will be able to verse each-other via online multiplayer. Online games will feature up to twelve different players while Local Co-Op support will feature up to 4 player split-screen.

According to the Walmart listing, the game will also be coming with a "Adventure Mode Unique story experience where players are introduced to basic game features and characters" and also "Various Characters and Classes 15 playable characters from across the Sonic Universe and 3 distinct character types including Speed, Technique, and Power classes." At the time of writing this the Walmart listing is still live, so if you are interested in viewing the full description notes visit the website here.

Fortnite Battle Royale has been live for about 10 months or so now and since then players have had to purely use their feet and gliders to move around the map. Epic Games has now added another option, welcoming shopping carts to Fortnite as vehicles.

If you haven't already jumped on Fortnite and found a shopping cart, the new vehicle works by one player pushing the cart while another has the option of jumping into it. The cart does work with just one player pushing it, but is much more effective when a second player is inside the basket area as they can stand up shoot, dance or be used as bait.

Fortnite is available on the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC, iOS and Android devices. Jump on and find your new shopping cart and a best-friend to ride around with it, while at the same time reeking havoc on other players in style.

At the start of the month we began to see some information released for Rockstars Red Dead Redemption 2, now a Take-Two Interactive executive has revealed that the title could feature a DLC.

Take-Two Interactive, the parent company for Rockstar Games has had Karl Slatoff, an executive for the parent company speak out about the upcoming Red Dead Redemption sequel. According to Slatoff, the sequel is operating on a "very lucrative" platform that gives the developers the opportunity to "see downloadable content as an interesting business model" and use it if they choose to.

Slatoff continues by saying that a DLC "depends on a game-by-game basis" and "whether that makes sense." A DLC for Red Dead Redemption 2 wouldn't be that bad of idea depending on how the developers go about it. If Rockstar choose to lock content behind a paid DLC wall that is detrimental to the games story, that could cause some problems for them. If this DLC is purely extra content for players to enjoy, then I'm sure there will be no problem with fans accepting it.

ASUS has just unveiled its monster new crypto mining motherboard, with the introduction of the H370 Mining Master motherboard, which can handle 20 graphics cards for the ultimate mining motherboard.

ASUS has learned from its first B350 Mining Expert motherboard, with the new H370 Mining Master motherboard simplifying the entire mining experience by letting USB riser cables connect directly into the PCB. Glorious. This means you can run 20 graphics cards at once, without as many cables and headaches - and trust me, there are lots of headaches with super-crazy mining setups.

The H370 Mining Master motherboard has mining-specific tweaks that ASUS has performed to the board, another nice touch, with one of them being the GPU state detection before the board boots, as you can see in the image above.
