Dead Rising 3 is coming to PC

Looks like Capcom's latest zombie slaughter-fest isn't exclusive to consoles anymore. I didn't think this would happen, but Dead Rising 3 is now coming to our PC with added textures and fixes. Have a look at the announcement trailer below.

No official release date, but expect it this summer, which should be 3rd week of June on-wards.

E3 2014: Full E3 press conference schedule to get us all updated

E3(Electronic Entertainment Expo) is the biggest event for the gaming industry, where all the big game reveals and announcements from big video game companies happen. It's literally just around the corner, so for those that want to catch all the reveals and big announcements from the big gaming companies, here's the full schedule of when each press conference goes live. 

*TAKE NOTE OF THE TIME DIFFERENCE: PDT is for those living in the United States, while GMT is for those living in South East Asia like the Philippines. 

Microsoft - Monday, June 9th at 9:30AM PDT / Tuesday, June 10 12:30AM GMT

Microsoft's Larry "Major Nelson" Hryb said on his blog that you can stream the press conference, entitled "Xbox: Game On," through Xbox.com, Xbox Live and Windows Phone worldwide. The press conference will also be broadcast on Spike TV in the U.S. and Canada. Halo 5: Guardians has been announced by 343 Industries so it's very likely we'll be seeing a demo of the new Halo running on Xbox One. There are rumors of a Gears of War reveal, as well as more about Sunset Overdrive which is looking pretty promising. Forza Horizon 2 was also announced plus there's Fable Legends so we'll see them on the presentation. Oh and of course, we'll see more of Kevin Spacey for Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare.

Also, with Microsoft announcing the Xbox One without Kinect, making the new console at the same price as its competitor, we will definitely see a strong presence of Kinect in the press conference.

EA - Monday, June 9th at 12:00 PM PDT / Tuesday, June 10 3:00 AM GMT

Just like past EA conferences, we will see tons of EA Sports talk for NFL, NBA, the works. All that aside, we'll most likely see the latest on Dragon Age: Inquisition, Sims 4, Battlefield: Hardline, and we just might get a gameplay demo of Star Wars: Battlefront III. There are talks of them teasing a new Mass Effect game, but that's very unlikely in our eyes.

Ubisoft - Monday, June 9th at 3:00 PM PDT / Tuesday, June 10 6:00 AM GMT

Ubisoft will be an interesting press conference. We'll definitely see a demo for this year's Assassin's Creed called Unity, as well as another announcement of the second Assassin's Creed planned for this year as well. Tom Clancy's The Division will have new gameplay to wow the crowd, and we'll get our first look at Far Cry 4 planned for this year. Just Dance will make an appearance yet again, and we'll see a demo for The Crew. We also expect a new IP coming from the European company since we've seen a new title from them two E3's in a row (Watch Dogs - 2012, The Division - 2013). Ubisoft has a lot going for them, it's crazy.

Sony - Monday, June 9th at 6:00 PM PDT / Tuesday, June 10 9:00 AM GMT

Sony might have a great lineup for their presentation - Deep Down, the new Uncharted, The Order: 1886, and a possible reveal of From Software's PS4 exclsuive currently titled "Project Beast". Final Fantasy XV will make an appearance together with Kingdom Hearts 3. The indie scene might just get the spotlight yet again to strengthen the consoles indie game support.  What's going to be their big reveal? There's a big chance of a new God of War game moving the franchise forward. Destiny will definitely appear on Sony's presentation, and we might get more titles for PS Vita since it's been lagging behind on the number of new games per month. Oh, and we shouldn't forget the slight possibility of  The Last Guardian showing up at the presentation...very unlikely.

Nintendo - Tuesday, June 10th at 9:00 AM PDT / Wednesday, June 11 12:00 AM GMT

Just like last year, Nintendo won't be holding the traditional press conference at E3. Instead, they will be broadcasting their presentation through a video similar to their monthly video called Nintendo Direct. It's called the "Nintendo Digital Event" and we will be seeing our first look at the new Zelda game exclusive to the Wii U. The Super Smash Bros Wii U and 3DS will definitely make an appearance, we'll get more footage for Bayonetta 2, and Monolith's RPG currently called X might get a full reveal. New 3DS games will take a small portion of the spotlight, but we expect all the effort will be put on making the Wii U appealing. There's rumor of a new Metroid that will be announced for the Wii U, which we pray is true because Nintendo needs announcements like that to be the big talk in E3. The horrible Wii U sales is a big concern and we hope they can bounce back with their presentation.

Steam In-Home Streaming now available to all users

Steam got an update today, giving  all users the ability to play any of their games in any computer at home, leaving your high-end computer to do all the work. All you need is a Windows PC, a good connection, and another computer connected to your Steam account that's also on the same network. 

I've tried this feature and it actually works. I simply leave my main gaming PC on and online, then I installed Steam on a 5 year old laptop that isn't built for gaming. When I log in using the laptop, instead of the usual "Install option on each game, I see the button "Stream". I click it and bam, the game turns on in my gaming PC, and I see the game on my laptop. All processing is done by the hosting computer, it simply feeds the output to the laptop. Any input I do on my old laptop will be transferred to the host computer for execution. You can now play.

Currently, Windows PC is the only system that can be the hosting computer. SteamOS, Linux, and Mac OS X will be able to host in the future. No date was given though. But you can stream any game to any system.

I'm sure you have guessed it by now - The performance of this In-Home Streaming is all based on your internet connection. It sounds all neat, but it won't be worth it if we are seeing input lag during a session. I was experiencing input lag making it hard to even play on the first 30 minutes. I checked who might be using the internet this early in the morning and noticed my nephew was watching a YouTube video on 1080p. Once he was done with his video, I saw improvements with my input, but it can still be a pain, especially when your trying to dodge a huge sword in Dark Souls 2.

The update is free for all Steam users. Simply update your client to get it.
