Cyberpunk Mod Adds Male V Romance Option With Surprise Full Dialogue

A mod for the PC version of Cyberpunk 2077 allows male V players to romance Judy, who can only be romanced by V with a female body and female voice in the unmodified version of the game. As reported by Eurogamer, modders recently discovered a way to unlock Judy's romance scene using V with a male body type and male voice. The modded scenes with Judy include full voice work for male V, which had some fans thinking Judy was initially supposed to be romanceable by both male and female protagonists. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=cyberpunk-2077-pc-gameplay-screenshots&captions=true"] However, a CD Projekt Red representative told Eurogamer Judy was always intended to be a romance option just for female V, saying they still recorded the male V dialogue, "so we could avoid missing something by mistake that would require future recordings." The rep said the team recorded all lines with both voices, just to be safe. And, CDPR confirmed there was no male romance option cut from Cyberpunk 2077. If you want to see how to access the scene in Cyberpunk 2077, you can check out an NSFW video from YouTuber FrederickFlower.

You can check out our Cyberpunk romance guide to see how to progress with each character. Besides romance, you'll also want to find out how to improve your relationship with Johnny Silverhand.

Minecraft Earth AR Game Is Shutting Down

Mojang Studios has announced that it is shutting down its augmented reality mobile game Minecraft Earth, which lets players interact with a Minecraft game superimposed onto real-world GPS data. In a new blog post, the Minecraft Earth team confirmed that it is winding down its game with plans to end support on June 30, 2021. Although never explicitly mentioned, the devs cite the complications of managing an AR game during the COVID-19 pandemic as part of its decision to shut down Minecraft Earth. “Minecraft Earth was designed around free movement and collaborative play — two things that have become near impossible in the current global situation,” the staff writes in a blog post. Other AR games, like Pokemon Go, faced similar COVID-related obstacles during the pandemic. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2019/05/17/minecraft-earth-official-reveal-trailer"] Still, the developers will support Minecraft Earth until June 2021 and are releasing one more update before the end that will let players enjoy the game before the shutdown. As part of the update, Minecraft Earth will remove real-money transactions, drastically reduce ruby costs, add all content — complete and unreleased, reduce time requirements for crafting and smelting, replace unused crafting and smelting boosts with radius boosts, and grant a set of Character Creator items to anyone who signs in between January 5 and June 30. Then, on June 30, Mojang will discontinue all content and service support for Minecraft Earth. This will also mean people will no longer be able to download or play Minecraft Earth. On July 1, Mojang will delete any Minecraft Earth player data unrelated to Character Creator [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2019/07/17/17-minutes-of-minecraft-earth-closed-beta-gameplay"] As another bonus, anyone who has paid for the in-game currency will receive Minecoins which can be used in the Minecraft Marketplace, and anyone who has made a purchase in Minecraft Earth will receive a free copy of the Minecraft Bedrock Edition. IGN has a brief overview of Minecraft Earth here if you’re interested in checking out the AR game before it sunsets for good on June 30.

Slay the Spire Board Game Kickstarter Coming In Spring 2021

A tabletop version of Slay the Spire has been revealed, with a Kickstarter campaign set to launch in Spring 2021.
You can see a concept picture of the game's box on the Contention Games website, who will be adapting the hit indie game for physical play. Megacrit, which developed Slay the Spire, will seemingly be working with Contention Games on the board game. The website's description says the game will be "a cooperative deckbuilding adventure. Craft a unique deck, encounter bizarre creatures, discover relics of immense power, and finally become strong enough to Slay the Spire!" [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2019/01/25/slay-the-spire-review"] If you're unfamiliar, Slay the Spire is a roguelike where players travel up a spire, slaying enemies in procedurally generated situations. Players pick from a deck of cards to decide their actions in combat, earning loot and upgrading abilities as they go. It'll be interesting to see how Contention Games adapt it into a board game - and particularly a game played by more than one player. We reviewed Slay the Spire back upon its launch in 2019, scoring it a 9 and calling it a "wholly new and extremely satisfying package". We subsequently called it one of the games of 2019. The game came to iOS back in June of 2020, with an Android port on the way. [Disclosure: Humble Bundle (which is owned by Ziff Davis, the parent company of IGN) is either the publisher or financier of Slay the Spire and may receive a commission or fee in connection with sales. Humble Bundle and IGN operate completely independently, and no special consideration is given to Humble Bundle-published or financed games for coverage or scoring.] [poilib element="accentDivider"] Jordan Oloman is a freelance writer for IGN.

The PlayStation Store Keeps Listing Games for £10,000

Multiple users are reporting that the PlayStation Store is listing certain games at a £10,000 price point (or even 10,000 of the local currency outside the UK). Currently, the pricing glitch appears to be affecting GreedFall, which is part of this month's PS Plus line-up. The issue was first reported to IGN by Twitter user Andreas K.: On Twitter, The Emerald Archer and Christopher Khan have also reported a £10,000 version of GreedFall, while the issue has also been spotted in European regions, with the pricing swapped for Euros. It's not clear at time of writing what is causing the glitch, nor how widespread it is, but screenshots posted seem to point to it being an issue on the PS4 version of the store in particular - we've been unable to replicate the issue on PS5 or browsers. The pricing glitch has seemingly been appearing since at least the end of last year. On December 27, Raymond Chan in the IGN UK Podcast Facebook group spotted Dead Cells listed at £10,000, while Garyz on Twitter saw Friday The 13th at the same price last week. We've contacted Sony for comment. Screenshot 2021-01-05 at 11.05.42In other PS4 news, Sony Japan has today reportedly announced that it will discontinue all PS4 Pro models, and all but one PS4 Slim model, in order to manufacture more PS5s. However, Sony Interactive Entertainment CEO Jim Ryan has made clear that it will continue to support PS4 with games until at least 2022. If you picked up a PS5 recently, we've got tips on the PS5 hidden features and settings, and a guide on how best to transfer data from your PS4 to your new console.
