Skyrim Special Edition didn't launch on the PC without a few hiccups, but Bethesda has already pushed out Update 1.3 to Steam users through a beta release.

The update includes improved stability and performance, as well as better support for 144Hz displays. The patch is only available in its beta form on Steam right now, so you won't have your Skyrim Special Edition updating automatically.

Here's what to expect in the v1.3 update:

The horror begins before you even get into Resident Evil 7, with Capcom detailing the Resident Evil 7 Biohazard Collector's Edition, an exclusive to GameStop, and it costs a horrifying $179.99 - yeah.

What do you get for $180? Well, Capcom is including a model replica of the Baker mansion, which is 8 inches tall, 7.5 inches long, and around 8.5 inches deep. Better yet, it doubles as a "music box that plays a familiar tune with accompanying LED effects".

Resident Evil 7 biohazard Collector's Edition Includes:

We all know the PC is the most powerful, and the most versatile gaming platform out there - but the console market still gets so much love. You can't talk bad about consoles, without being branded as being anti-consoles - and while they have their place, long live PCMR and our Lord GabeN.

During PAX Australia 2016 a couple of weeks ago, Alienware boss Frank Azor talked about the current-gen consoles and their mid-cycle refresh parts in PS4 Pro and Xbox Scorpio, PC gaming, and VR. He talked with GameSpot where he said: "The console market and the PC market have converged in ways that we've never really seen before. Consoles look more like PCs, and PCs are starting to look more like consoles".

He added: "The console guys have realised they can't operate on seven year cadences anymore, because they can't keep up with the amount of innovation that's going on in the industry, with HDR, 4K, VR, and the long path we have ahead of us in VR evolution".

Netflix is finally beginning to hit the PC with 4K content, but you're going to be locked to using Windows 10, and more horribly - Microsoft's not-so-popular Edge browser.

It's a massive limitation, and unlike the source of this news - The Next Web, which report that it could be Microsoft made this move to "ensure battery efficiency", as not every person has a laptop with a 4K display. The problem is, the current limitation of Netflix resolution support is 1080p, with the next step being 4K.

Worse yet, you'll require Intel's next-gen Kaby Lake processor to play 4K content for now. Ridiculous. Absolutely ridiculous. Microsoft must have paid a considerable sum to Netflix for this stupid exclusive crap, and so did Intel. Microsoft's expensive new, super-awesome Surface Studio rocks a gorgeous 4500x3000 display... and thanks to it not rocking Intel's 7th-gen Kaby Lake architecture, 4K streams aren't going to work with Netflix.

Microsoft is running towards the warm arms of 4K with its upcoming Xbox Scorpio console, and even with its 6 TFLOPs of power, an 8-core CPU, and over 320GB/sec of memory bandwidth - Xbox boss Phil Spencer knows it's not just about raw horsepower.

During an interview with Stevivor, Spencer said that the 6 TFLOPs of processing power in the Scorpio is just one piece of the puzzle. He said: "Well, I try not to really talk using the term. It's like a car - you wouldn't describe how fast it goes using only one characteristic. But I guess it's like a teraflop is like horsepower - you'd probably have in your head what 100 horsepower could do, or 200".

Spencer continued: "But it's much more than that - there's other things that dictate how fast the car goes. A transmission. Its weight. It's the same with Scorpio; it's not just the number of teraflops that makes it powerful".

What better way to use the Touch Bar on your expensive new MacBook Pro than by running DOOM on it... eh?

iOS engineer Adam Bell managed to get the original DOOM working on the MacBook Pro's Touch Bar, and it's an incredible achievement. Sure, no one is seriously going to play it like this... but we live in a world where anything is possible, and seeing DOOM played like this is just awesome.

Blizzard has the first-person shooter game down beautifully with Overwatch, but they're not a developer who likes to sit on their hands between franchises.

Blizzard has taken to their official website in search of a "new experienced engine engineer to work on a robust first-person engine for an unannounced project." The Lead Software Engineer would work closely with the technical director and other engineering leads to "build a technically excellent engine across multiple platforms."

Blizzard continues, saying that the candidate would need to "enjoy collaborating with art and technical art leads, understand the artistic vision of the game and identify the technology needed to achieve and extend that vision."

If you want to see more 'Star Wars' films in the future, you better go and spend up big on movie tickets and merchandise for the upcoming spin-off 'Rogue One'. Personally, I don't think they've much to worry about.

Speaking to Entertainment Weekly, Lucasfilm CEO Kathy Kennedy confirmed that the studio is waiting to see what happens before they solidify their plans beyond 2020. "We are planning to sit down in January, since we will have had The Force Awakens released, now Rogue One, and we've finished shooting Episode VIII. We have enough information where we can step back a little bit and say, What are we doing? What do we feel is exciting? And what are some of the things we want to explore?" But other than the spin-off films, will the main 'Star Wars' story continue beyond 'Episode 9'? Kennedy continues "That's a conversation going on right now... I have to honestly tell you, could we? Sure. But I don't know. We are looking at all of that."

'Rogue One: A Star Wars Story' hits 2D, 3D and IMAX screens worldwide from December 16th.

WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange hasn't been seen in over a month, and just like NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden - who knows what's really going on. We can't question anything anymore without being attacked by someone, so now that I've triggered half the world - TITANPOINTE.

Titanpointe is the name of the NSA's new Spy Hub in New York, Hidden in Plain Sight, reports The Intercept. Project X is what Titanpointe is known as, and is a 29-storey building in NYC that is "capable of withstanding an atomic blast". The building has no windows, three basement levels, and enough food and supplies to see 1500 people survive two weeks "in the event of a catastrophe".

But it's not like the US government, or whoever the hell funded this massive All Seeing Eye in the middle of New York City cares much about the survival of the people inside - the heavily fortified building is made this way to keep its powerful computers, cables, and switchboards safe. Titanpointe houses "one of the most important telecommunications hubs in the United States - the world's largest center for processing long-distance phone calls, operated by the New York Telephone Company, a subsidiary of AT&T". You know, the same AT&T that just acquired Warner Bros., CNN, and HBO for $80 billion.

The cult classic 1986 action fantasy 'Highlander' has been on Hollywood's reboot radar for a number of years now, and it looks like this time it might actually happen.

According to Variety, 'John Wick' director Chad Stahelski has been tapped to helm the film which is set to wipe the slate clean from the previous five films and three TV spin-offs. No word yet on casting, but don't expect to see 86 year old Sean Connery reprise his role as Juan Sánchez Villa‑Lobos Ramírez.

Stahelski's next picture, 'John Wick: Chapter 2' is set to premiere next February, and could lead to a third picture.

The highly anticipated Assassin's Creed movie just got a little bit better again. The latest movie poster unveiling, showcases more than just the main man himself.

With the launch of the second movie trailer last month, audiences were excluded from seeing some of the other characters... that's now changed!

This time the film poster positions Michael Fassbender in the middle, with Marion Cotillard, Ariane Labed, Michael K. Williams, Jeremy Irons, and Brendan Gleeson, situated around Fassbender giving us our first look as what is to be expected of character faces.

Overwatch hero Symmetra has been a lackluster hero for a long while, but it sounds like that's about to change. As game director Jeff Kaplan details in the video below, Symmetra is getting a near complete overhaul that should make her much more viable, and possibly even overpowered.

If you're not familiar with Symmetra, she's a support hero (though some might classify her as defense) who often takes the place of a tank or DPS, as two healers is usually vital. Her kit is centered around her ultimate, a teleporter that helps dead allies get back to the fight quickly. The problem, as Kaplan explains, is the teleporter is really only useful on first point defense and not in any other situation. As such, she's getting two ultimates which you can choose between whenever your meter is filled. The first is the same old teleporter (except with regenerating shields), and the second is a shield generator which, well...generates shields (powerful ones too).

Her old shields are being axed entirely (they weren't significant but buffing them would've been arguably OP, so no big loss), and she's getting a photon barrier ability. Barrier is described in very vague terms, but we do know it has a huge 50 meter radius and can be used defensively, offensively, or to protect your teleporter, generator, or turrets, and that it will reward creativity.

It's confirmed! Super Mario Run will be available for the iPhone, iPod and iPad platforms next month as long as these devices run iOS 8 software an above.

Back in Septemeber, the game was announced by Shigeru Miyamoto, during Apple's press event, but no price or date was scheduled until now.

For those unaware of the objective, the side-scrolling-runner style game will see main character, Mario, run to the side as players touch the screen to make him jump over obstacles.

Just three months after acquiring SolarCity, Tesla is putting its recently added assets to work by running the entire island of Ta'u -- a volcanic island located in American Samoa -- on solar power. Its 5,328 panel microgrid boasts 1.4 megawatts and takes care of "nearly 100 percent" of all electricity for the region. The grid features 60 Tesla Powerpacks that store 6 megawatt-hours of energy, enabling it to power the island for three days with no sun. Given the typically very bright weather, that's more than sufficient.

Solar over diesel means saving 300 gallons of fuel pollution per day in addition to the costs associated with it as well as the cost of buying and shipping diesel. Lastly, it means more reliable energy (previously, power had to be rationed at times).

Ta'u hosts just 600 residents, making it an choice region for testing the viability of community solar power. It will no doubt yield good data for potential larger projects, which will serve well Tesla's goal of getting the world off fossil fuels.

Publishers today love to find coercive and rather strategic ways to push gamers towards DLC and season pass purchases. The main method is carving up the finished game into sections, and only delivering about 70% of gameplay onto the full game and reserving the rest as DLC or season passes. Ubisoft, one of the major players in the season-pass culture, has now pledged to put an end to this scheming business tactic,.

Ubisoft VP of live operations Anne Blondel-Jouin told Games Industry Biz that the company will start selling DLC as it was intended: as additional extraneous content that enhances the full game instead of piecemeal bits of the actual finished game that've been carved out to maximize returns.

"Monetization is something we have to be very careful about, and my team is in charge of that and making sure we find a right balance," Blondel-Jouin said in the interview.

Elon Musk must never sleep, as his space company SpaceX is wanting to send over 4000 satellites into space for high-speed internet available across the planet - and now we're seeing more details on the Autopilot technology from Tesla.

Tesla boss Elon Musk has teased a demonstration of a passenger sitting in the driver's seat, while the car was driving to its destination. The car went through the usual road conditions, red lights, and more before it parks itself. You get an awesome view from the car, but there's also a peak outside of the car - on the left of the Tesla, medium range, and right rear cameras.

The car sees lane lines and motion, has colored boxes for "in path objects" which includes road signs, road lights, and objects. These boxes will be how the system interprets people, other vehicles, and hazards that a human driver would ordinarily take into consideration when on the road. Tesla says that its new cars have an onboard computer with "40 times the computing power of the previous generation" when it comes to processing the vision, sonar, and radar imagery that the vehicle absorbs.

Intel has its exciting Core i7-7700K on the way early next year, arriving with the Kaby Lake architecture, but for the super-enthusiasts and workstation crowd, the upcoming Skylake-based Xeon family is where the fun really begins.

Intel's upcoming Skylake-EP Xeon E5 processor lineup is now being teased, with higher-end SKUs ready to blow not only your minds, but your wallets. The massive Skylake-EP Xeon E5-2699 V5 processor has 32 physical CPU cores, and a total of 64 threads. The previous-gen Xeon E5-2699 V4 processor had 22 physical CPU cores, and 44 threads.

We should expect the Skylake-EP processors to launch at around Computex 2017 (late May, early June next year). Intel will include their new Advanced Vector Instructions-512 that will increase floating point calculations and encryption algorithms, but the company has also integrated Omni-Parth Architecture that will see high-speed network and interconnects enjoy much higher speeds.

A deep, sprawling game universe, Capcom's 'Monster Hunter' series seems an obvious choice for a feature film, but despite it's introduction in 2004 it's taken a few years to get there. However that looks set to change, as the director unveils his plans for the feature film franchise future.

In a new interview with Deadline, director Paul W.S. Anderson confirmed a few details on the upcoming project. "So you have the creatures from the Monster Hunter world invading our world. The mythology is that basically monsters are real and all the monsters and creatures from our mythology, whether dragons or the Minotaur, or Chinese dragons, it's all real. They were real. They really existed in our world. For every monster there was a hero that fought the monster. And then those monsters just disappeared, overnight. They ceased to exist, as did our need for heroes. They became a thing of myth and legend, but eventually the monsters will come back. Unless we have a hero to help fight them, our world with be devastated by these returning creatures, after we've chosen to put our faith in technology rather than heroes. All of our technology won't mean anything once the dragons start raining fire."

The director is currently finishing up work on the final installment of the 'Resident Evil' franchise which hits cinemas in January.

HTC is celebrating the Black Friday sales with a $100 discount on its VR headset, acting as warning shots to the Oculus Touch controllers which are still not here - with the HTC Vive dropping to just $699 from its original $799 price, for an extremely limited time.

Starting at 11:59pm PST on November 24, through to 11:59pm on November 28 "wherever Vive is sold, purchasers can receive $100 off their Vive purchase (while supplies last)". This includes Microsoft Stores, Amazon.com, Gamestop, Newegg.com, Micro-center, and Vive.com as the retailers and stores that will sell it for around $700 plus tax. For the fir st time ever, the HTC Vive will be available at Fry's 34 locations, and online.

HTC is also throwing a sale for software purchased through Viveport, HTC's new VR software store. HTC said: "Customers who spend $30 USD equivalent or more between Black Friday and Cyber Monday get $10 USD equivalent back in their wallets. You can also build your library with a $5 bundle deal on three of the most popular VR apps: Soundstage, Arcade Artist, and Lumen".

Bethesda has ambitious plans for virtual reality gaming, and it's already brought specific sections of Doom and Fallout 4 to the HTC Vive. But the publisher isn't satisfied with these small slices; it wants to do something bigger, like bringing the entire world of Fallout 4 to VR.

Right now most people see VR as a fad, even with AMD's efforts to bring VR-ready PC video cards to the mainstream market with the affordable Radeon RX lineup and PlayStation's accessible (yet underwhelming) console-powered PlayStation VR. This is largely due to the fact that VR doesn't yet have that critical "killer game" required to pull everyone in--virtual reality needs what Super Mario Bros. 3 did for the NES.

But if Bethesda has their way, that killer VR game would be Fallout 4. In a recent interview with Glixel, Bethesda's Todd Howard was asked if the studio plans to bring the entire world of Fallout in VR, which Howard answered with a very surprising "yes, we definitely are."
