We’re getting a Civilization 7 deep dive at The Future Games Show at Gamescom, hosted by GTA’s Michael de Santa and RDR2’s Sadie Adler-

Gamescom is right around the corner, and you definitely don’t want to miss the opening night on August 21. Our sister site GamesRadar+ will be there powering the Future Games Show, dazzling our screens with over 50 games from publishers like 2K, Plaion, and Nacon, as well as some extra treats along the way.

If you’ve tuned into a Future Games Show before then you’ll know each one is hosted by two iconic videogame voice actors, and this upcoming showcase is no different. These folk are real Rockstars, with Red Dead Redemption 2’s Alex McKenna (Sadie Adler) and Grand Theft Auto 5’s Ned Luke (Michael De Santa) helping to present everything the Future Games Show has on offer. McKenna promises the showcase will have “an exciting mix of games from indie to blockbusters you don’t want to miss,” while Luke said “We’re going to be showing off some world premieres and going hard on some of 2024’s hottest new games.”

They’re not the only guest stars this time, either. The Future Games Show is teaming up with Civilization 7, which I’m sure has made quite a few of us over in the PC sphere pretty dang excited. The partnership means we’re getting not one, but two deep-dive interviews with developer Firaxis Games, which is something you certainly won’t want to miss. 

As well as spotlighting the big hitters set to release, the Indie Elevator Pitch will shine some light on smaller games in development, along with the Ones to Watch segment which will highlight some of the upcoming releases that have the editorial team getting all giddy. If you’re more of a hands-on gamer than a hands-off viewer, make sure to stick around for the Ones to Play segment which’ll have demos available to play as soon as the show wraps up. Plus, a very special exclusive look at Amazon Prime’s The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power Season 2 will happen during the show. There’s a little something for everyone.

Even if you’re not going to be attending Gamescom this year, you can still check out the showcase as it’s happening. Make sure to tune in on Wednesday August 21 at 1 PM PT / 4 PM ET / 9 PM BST across sites like Twitch, YouTube, X, TikTok, BiliBili as well as the GamesRadar+ website. If you’re a streamer who wants to share the fun with their viewers, you can apply to be a streaming partner for the event.

Japanese YouTuber might be the first in the world arrested for posting gameplay clips-

A man has been arrested in Japan’s Miyagi prefecture on suspicion of violating copyright laws after he posted a video containing gameplay from the popular visual novel STEINS;GATE Hiyoku Renri no Darin (via Automaton). The Content Overseas Distribution Agency (CODA) announced the arrest and said the man had uploaded the video, which included the ending of the game, without permission from the rights holder Nitroplus, on top of which he had monetised the video and received ad revenue.

The same man is alleged to have uploaded other videos containing copyrighted content such as the anime version of STEINS;GATE and Spy×Family. CODA describes these videos as “fast content”, part of a popular genre in Japan that condense down a given work, anything from games to TV shows to movies, often including captions and / or narration that summarise what’s going on for the viewer. Netabare is its own category within this of videos that show and detail endings or plot twists.

‘Cheating and exploiting undermine the integrity of our game’- Over 600 Star Citizen accounts have been suspended for racking up in-game currency-

Star Citizen has had a massive problem with cheaters exploiting systems to get \more in-game currency for months now, but developer Cloud Imperium Games (CIG) has finally addressed the issue and suspended over 600 accounts. 

Previously players could get more alpha United Earth Credits (aUEC) through several exploits, the most prevalent being simply duplicating ships to collect more items and aUEC which they could then sell for real money on eBay or elsewhere on the internet. To make matters worse some cheaters didn’t actually need to do much on their end thanks to a bug which basically enables players to sell cargo more than once. 

“What’s particularly annoying is that it almost takes more work to not use the dupe,” one player says in a Reddit thread. “It’s super frustrating to have to keep storing the C2 at one place and then claim it from another just to try to clear out the “phantom” duped inventory so you can pick up the cargo for the next leg of your trave…

Minecraft’s archeology feature is finally getting dug up for 1.20-

Mojang has just announced that the long-awaited and much-delayed archeology feature is finally coming to Minecraft. A new tool, type of sand, and several different types of items to unearth are all coming in the Minecraft 1.20 update this year.

If you’d been paying close attention to the Minecraft rumor mill, this will likely confirm some of your suspicions started by hints from developers. Mojang originally announced the archeology feature in 2020 and then postponed it for several major update versions. It’s back at last though, as Mojang has confirmed today in an announcement post.

“With this feature, players will find a new type of sand—suspicious sand—near desert temples,” Mojang says. “Using a newly introduced tool, the brush, players can brush away the suspicious sand blocks to reveal hidden tools, bones, sniffer eggs, and pottery shards. The new pottery shards contain partial patterns, and four shards can be put together to make a …

Nvidia’s $299 RTX 4060 means we’re finally getting a next-gen GPU that costs less than the graphics card it’s replacing-

You already know most of this, to be fair, but it’s all official now: the RTX 4060 Ti is going to be on shelf on May 24 with a retail price of $399. Yes, it’s taken five iterations of the new Ada architecture to finally get down to a new GPU priced at the same level as the graphics card it’s replacing.

And then the sixth tier card, the RTX 4060, is going to be on sale for less than the RTX 3060 launched at. Ah, graphics cards in 2023. They’re a treasure, aren’t they?

The RTX 3060 Ti launched at the same $399 sticker price back in 2020, and next week will see the launch of the RTX 4060 Ti with roughly 17% higher gaming performance. That’s the straight raster performance boost the Ada architecture is delivering in this new generation of mid-range GPU, though there is the extra speed bump you get from the Ada-only magic of Frame Generation.

In games that support it you’re then looking at a 70% performance boost and that’s a lot more tantalising an upgrade tha…
