Sony’s motion controller has been without a name for quite some time now, while Microsoft has at least given its motion controller a name in its project title: Natal. Well, all that might be moot now as EA CEO John Riccitiello may have let the name slip this morning at the UBS 37th Annual Global Media Conference in New York saying the following: Sony, when asked about the slip, issued the response, “No official name for the PlayStation motion controller has been announced....

PlayStation’s London Studio is working on a new PS5 online game. The studio is best known for its work on Singstar and Blood and Truth, which utilised the microphone and VR peripherals respectively. The news comes courtesy of a tweet from the studio linking to new job opportunities presumably relating to the new project. “New starters will join at the perfect time to get involved in shaping our plans for a project we are exceptionally excited about!...

We’ve come a long way from simply getting your favorite Pokémon buddy up to a high level until it evolves, to Pokémon with over 60 different forms. Not all evolutions are created equal, and it’s difficult to comprehend if anyone could even figure some of these out without a guide. Looking at the over 800 current Pokémon listed in the Pokédex, most of them fall under a simple evolution method that naturally occurs during your adventure....

Pokemon GO may have been riddled with bugs and missing features when it launched three years ago, but that hasn’t stopped the mobile AR experience from becoming a worldwide phenomenon. Part of the reason for PoGO’s continued success has been a dedication to making incremental improvements and listening to fan feedback. The latest quite update to Pokemon GO addresses a problem that some active players have had since launch: The speed cap....

Pokemon GO players around the world worked hard to unlock a series of special rewards this month. The incredibly exciting Stardust Bonus event is live now and players have a week to collect as much of the precious resource as possible. Although the third reward hasn’t been officially announced yet, the PoGO community has a pretty good idea about what is coming. The official Pokemon GO accounts have been building some hype by teasing a reveal of the third Ultra Bonus and the emoji being used seem to be very strategic....

After an ill-advised and fundamentally broken sequel, Postal is back for the first time since 2011. Well, kind of – Running With Scissors has been very clear that Postal 4 is in the earliest of early access, referring to the current version as the “janky alpha build.” Still, what we’ve got is shaping up to be a worthy successor to Postal 2 and a decent little sandbox game in its own right....

AMD doesn’t seem to be in any particular rush to release more products for in its popular Radeon RX 6000 Series GPU lineup. However, that hasn’t stopped keen observers from discovering some EEC filings by AIB PowerColor that suggest how much VRAM the cards will feature. It shouldn’t come as a surprise to learn that the RX 6700 XT will feature 12 GB of GDDR6 VRAM like the higher end cards....

An event that appears to be imminently taking place in Fortnite could give players the chance to bring back vaulted weapons. The fast pace at which Epic rolls out Fortnite updates means that it is very much a trial and error scenario, which is one of the benefits of offering a game to the world for free. If there are issues with updates, then players can’t complain too much since they haven’t paid anything to play it....

When it comes to DLC content Rock Band is king. On an almost weekly basis, new songs and even full albums have been rolled out to keep the play experience of each Rock Band iteration going strong. With Rock Band 3 adding a new Pro Mode to the mix the assumption was that Harmonix was going to charge an additional fee for all Rock Band 3 DLC, but that is not entirely the case....

Sony has lifted the wraps off its full PlayStation Now lineup for April, with Metal Gear Solid V leading the charge. That’s both games, by the way: Ground Zeroes and The Phantom Pain will be available on Sony’s streaming service. Metal Gear Solid V is notable as the final entry in the series created by Hideo Kojima, who left Konami soon after to form his own company. Ground Zeroes is a mere taster of the full adventure, with The Phantom Pain bringing the series into true open-world territory....

If you’ve been jonesing for a creepy horror title to keep you up at night, then Endflame and PM Studios’ first-person horror-adventure game, Ikai, may fit the bill nicely.

The developer behind chicken-dinner-giving shooter PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds has confirmed plans to buff its Savage map with a new underground cave network, plus a bunch of other additions. Writing in a new blog post, PUBG Corp. confirmed that the cave system plucks inspiration from Phraya Nakhon, a real-world network of caves located just outside of Bangkok, Thailand. Players will be able to drop right into the caves, which will feature ‘plenty of methods of escape’ if you’re feeling a little claustrophobic....

A new standalone Conker game is not in development at Rare or any other studio, Xbox head Phil Spencer has confirmed following the announcement of the squirrel’s Project Spark spin-off yesterday. Responding to a fan asking whether it is “safe to assume that Rare isn’t working on a new conker game because of the project spark announcement”, Spencer replied: “Yes”. “We didn’t say never,” he later added, “it’s just not being worked on right now by Rare or any other studio....

Capcom has seemingly given a cheeky hint at the long-rumoured Resident Evil 3: Nemesis remake in a post on Twitter. The company posted a snapshot of Resident Evil 2 remake, specifically a location on the second floor where there’s a massive hole in the wall. Check it out below. So what, right? Well, let’s look at some facts. Resident Evil 3 takes place 24 hours before and after Resident Evil 2, during which time you visit the Raccoon Police Department before Leon and Claire arrive....

A new video has surfaced seemingly leaking the PC settings for Returnal, a roguelike third-person shooter that launched on PlayStation 5 last year. It’s a PlayStation 5 exclusive, but rumors of a PC port have surfaced multiple times. This latest leak seems to be the most convincing evidence that a PC could be on the way. The video in question is an unlisted upload on YouTube that goes through some of Returnal‘s graphics settings....

One Overwatch player recently discovered a bug that allows Widowmaker to hide behind an invisible, bulletproof barrier. Generally, with games as big as Overwatch, glitches and exploits that undermine competitive integrity seldom see the light of day. However, the Overwatch development team is still human, of course, and once every so often players will find and make ample use of a game-breaking bug. One of those players was recently spotted at a sniper position around the third point of Watchpoint: Gibraltar, which offers sightlines onto the enemy team from behind an invisible object that can block seemingly-on-target enemy fire....

Back in 2015 Epic revealed their new game, a MOBA called Paragon. At the time I’ll admit I thought “oh god, not another MOBA”, the genre didn’t appeal at all. You see, here at PC Invasion we all like different things and Tim is the MOBA guy and therefore he was the ideal candidate to play it. But for some reason, I ended up being the one to take it for a spin and to my utter surprise, I got hooked....

Developer Phoenix Labs has shown off more of its upcoming Dauntless port for the Nintendo Switch at PAX West 2019.

This is the second time the developer has shown a sample of the game on the Nintendo Switch, the first being at E3 during the Nintendo Treehouse presentation in mid June....
