How to get the Vaporwalker boots in Crimson Desert

Image
There's a unique way to become Jesus (not in the literal sense) in Crimson Desert with the help of Vaporwalker boots, as it allows you to walk over water. You can use these boots to tread across shallow water bodies, and they can also allow you to glide over deeper sections. Let's find out how you can get these boots in Pywel. Table of contents Vaporwalker boots in Crimson Desert How to get and use the Vaporwalker boots in Crimson Desert Vaporwalker boots in Crimson Desert Image via Pearl Abyss The Vaporwalker boots can be found inside a chest that's hidden in the Ancient Heart cave. You'll need to unlock the Pailune region. Then, you'll need to reach the Ancient Rift. Approach the cliff from the top and then drop down. Use your flight ability to glide towards a nearby waterfall (location marked on the image above). Drop on either bank near the midpoint of the waterfall since that's the entry point. Once you land on the entrance, you'll need...

Upcoming Resident Evil movie reboot from acclaimed horror director reportedly received rave reviews at recent test screening

Image
I'm kind of on pins and needles about Zach Cregger's upcoming Resident Evil film reboot, but a bit less so by the day. I love Resident Evil. Cregger says he does too. Thankfully, I'm a fan of his work on recent popular horror movies like Weapons and Barbarian , but up until now I've been a little skeptical of what he's going to do with this specific IP after working so strongly on his own original ideas. Image via Instagram Will his brand of horror and humor mesh well with the franchise? Will it be faithful? Well, there is some good news. According to a report by World of Reel , a recent test screening for Cregger's Resident Evil went over very well. It's been described by those who attended as a fast-paced "horror version of Fury Road " 90-minute "all gas, no brakes" romp set within the world of the games, but without focusing on existing characters like Leon Kennedy or Jill Valentine. Instead, the new film's main charact...

It seems PlayStation is scrubbing any mention of ‘PC’ from its websites—gee I wonder why

Image
After rumors cropped up suggesting PlayStation was moving away from PCs and back into the warm embrace of exclusivity, it appears the company is now actively retconning its webpages by omitting any mention of PC it can, instead promoting exclusive games and its own platform. As spotted by Game Observer , Sony seems to be refreshing its online presence, shifting from a lenient stance towards the PC platform to one that promotes exclusivity first and foremost. As that outlet says, PlayStation has removed mentions of defunct studios and apparently also scrubbed mentions of PC wherever it could. "The biggest change, however, is the removal of nearly all mentions of PC from the descriptions of PlayStation’s Studios. Only Nixxes Software, which focuses on PC ports, still includes the platform in its profile," Game Observer reports. User Zuby_Tech said on X that Sony, on top of moving away from PC, also began using more specific language targeting PlayStation exclusivity. XDEV...

RTS game loses online support as AI company buys out its servers

Image
AI is starting to cause real, tangible issues in the gaming industry now. On top of just making everything much more expensive, from RAM to SSDs to entire consoles and machines, it is now actively sabotaging online multiplayer titles by taking over crucial server infrastructure to use it, you've guessed it, for training and providing models to salivating corporations. This is exactly what happened to StarCraft's spiritual successor Stormgate , a free-to-play RTS made by the former's, well, former developers. As Delisted Games writes , Hathora, Frost Giant Studios' server provider, has been purchased by what developers only describe as an "AI company" that will be putting its servers out of reach for gaming. The devs wrote on their Discord that Hathora's new owners are "winding down their service at the end of April," which will render Stormgate temporarily offline. Frost Giant Studios has a contingency plan of sorts, as it will make the gam...

French consumer advocacy group sues Ubisoft for taking The Crew offline, almost two years since Stop Killing Games first protested it

Image
It appears that the Stop Killing Games initiative is finally causing real consequences for major video game publishers, as Ubisoft, the company that first caused this whole ordeal, is now facing a lawsuit from a consumer advocacy group over its shutdown of The Crew . As per Ross Scott, also known as Accursed Farms on YouTube, French consumer advocacy group UFC-Que Choisir is seeking legal action against Ubisoft, also based in France, due to its removal of access to The Crew on March 31, 2024. "UFC-Que Choisir believes that by brutally depriving players of all access to  The Crew , Ubisoft has violated essential consumer rights," the group said on its website (in a quote machine-translated from the original French). "It is unacceptable that Ubisoft considers, in its general conditions, that players only acquire a simple 'user license' for the game, which would then be revocable at any time by the publisher. The legality of all clauses limiting players' ...

Another gambling roguelike has hit Steam—and, unsurprisingly, it’s addictive as hell

Image
Games of chance are, by their very nature, addictive. Just like you keep scrolling on your phone day in and day out, expecting something exciting to come up after a dozen AI-generated slop clips, gambling drives you to repeatedly engage with it in anticipation of that one big win. When combined with roguelike mechanics, which are also based on chance, randomization, and expectations, the result is rather interesting, as we've seen time and again with games like Balatro and Clover Pit . You never know what your next slot pull will bring or which jokers the store will contain. Every match is different, every pull another stroke of luck, and that's enough for your brain to start firing neurons left and right to encourage you to give it another go. So many things happen on the screen that it's impossible to look away. Image via Doraccoon And, of course, more of the same is always welcome, as this new gambling roguelike, RACCOIN: Coin Pusher , proves. Though not based on...
