Pokémon Go developer Niantic is rolling out its Campfire social network
Jun 30, 2022

Pokémon Go maker Niantic has made a social app for its games — and it’s coming out very soon. The developer says that the app, called Campfire, will kick off its global rollout “in the coming days.” Campfire was originally announced in May and has been in a testing phase with Ingress players over the last few months. The initial rollout will be available for “select groups of Pokémon Go players throughout the summer,” according to the developer.

The core of Campfire is a map that includes information about nearby in-game events and activities, theoretically making it easier to find folks to play with or arrange meet-ups with friends. It includes a group and private messaging tool for your in-game friends; in Pokémon Go, for instance, you can DM a raid location to a buddy to make it easier to get together. You can also do things like add a “flare” to a location to encourage nearby players to come by if something interesting is happening. Check out the screenshots below for a better idea of how the app functions:

The idea of a Niantic-focused social network may seem superfluous with the glut of messaging apps already out there, but it makes some degree of sense given just how many games the company is working on. In addition to Pokémon Go and Ingress, Niantic also has Pikmin Bloom in the wild, along with in-development games like virtual pet sim Peridot and the just-announced basketball game NBA All World.

What a thing: Microsoft unveiled a limited-edition Xbox Series X in the style of Thor's hammer
yesterday, 23:03

Such a gadget is dedicated to the premiere of the new Marvel Studios movie, "Thor: Love and Thunder." The console is made in the form of a broken-down Mjolnir. It even comes with a grip. The gamepad, though not shown, probably looks appropriate.

You can't buy a special version of the Xbox Series X, but you can win it by taking part in contest.

Red Dead Redemption/GTA IV Remasters Reportedly Canceled Due to Poor GTA Trilogy Reception
16h

Rumors regarding a Red Dead Redemption remaster or remake have swirled around for nearly six years. Our first such report dates back to September 2016, when Korean website Gamefocus.co.kr stated that Red Dead Redemption HD would be announced shortly for PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One, due to be released in early 2017.

Of course, that never happened. Fans then got their hopes up for an unofficial remaster titled Red Dead Redemption: Damned Enhancement Project. Unveiled in August 2019, it aimed to modify the emulated Xenia/RPCS3 versions on PC to improve on aspects like textures, UI/UX menu elements, in-game HUD, draw optimizations, shader and model updates, and more.

However, the Red Dead Redemption: Damned Enhancement Project didn't last long. A couple of weeks later, modder DamnedDev announced that Take-Two sent him a cease and desist (C&D) letter demanding to stop working on the mod project.

Earlier this year, YouTuber Digital Dreams did his best to enhance the RPCS3 version with a ReShade preset that used, among others, MartyMcFly's RTGI shader. But Red Dead Redemption fans had their hopes once again rekindled in late May when Rockstar insider Chris Klippel said that the remaster had been in the works at Rockstar in late 2020 alongside a next-generation update for Red Dead Redemption 2.

Red Dead 2 on max settings.

Is there a more detailed, impressive looking game on PC? ... (full screen recommended)

Its a work of beauty and the reason why I'm here. Life extension immortality to explore the galaxy is one of the amazing reasons why I am dedicated to seeing the Future Timeline meet its predictions (the good ones of course). I sometimes wonder if the US gov has figured out zero g and other high tech aircraft way before others to at least go to the moon with something cool. Some of the spy aircraft they have shown throughout the years that orbits the Earth look like the one in this gif. Someone has to have thought about it!

I really enjoy these kind off games especially from video games such as Telltale Games.
