The new feature is an experiment being implemented in the UK and Australia, as these countries’ legal acts require a stricter age verification. To confirm the age, users need to record a video selfie or take a photo of their ID.Read the full story here: https://80.lv/articles/discord-adds-facial-scans-for-age-verification-in-the-uk-and-australia/0 Comments 0 Shares 26 Views

I love how the next Battlefield and its destruction mechanics are shaping up — I’ve tried almost every installment, but something always felt like it was missing in the latest editions. Fingers crossed for the upcoming one
The devs just shared a fresh look at how destruction is evolving in the new chapter and how it will change how people play. You will be able to smash through walls to flank enemies, collapse buildings to cut off enemy pushes, and even use rubble as makeshift cover. The team is also adding clear visual and audio cues so you’ll know exactly what can be broken and how.
The system is said to be much smarter now. For example, walls can start to crumble from repeated gunfire after an explosion weakens them. Surfaces visually wear down before breaking, and buildings collapse in chunks, leaving debris that stays on the map and can be used strategically. The latest demo shows a player blasting through a wall to create a shortcut through aI love how the next Battlefield and its destruction mechanics are shaping up — I’ve tried almost every installment, but something always felt like it was missing in the latest editions.

The Set Mesh Normal node has recently been added to Geometry Nodes in Blender, allowing users to add or modify custom normals directly within the node system. For example, if you're looking to perform this kind of mesh welding – that is, smoothly blending or "fusing" parts of a mesh together – you can achieve this using a combination of modifiers.
Please note that for the Vertex Weight Proximity modifier to work properly (as noted by 3D Artist Slinc_HD), you need to select all vertices in Weight Paint mode and assign them 100% weight (1.0) before applying the modifier.
This video by FR3NKD shows the setup in action. Original post: https://lnkd.in/gu-CKSXu

Despite this, Ubisoft sees an opportunity and is developing a new Battle Royale game codenamed Scout, heavily inspired by Apex Legends. The goal of the game is reportedly "to capitalize on the player count of Apex dropping and them [Ubisoft higher-ups] thinking there's room in the market for another hero Battle Royale," although their own marketing team questions it.Learn more: https://80.lv/articles/ubisoft-higher-ups-see-opportunities-in-battle-royale-genre-despite-decreasing-popularity/0 Comments 0 Shares 73 Views

However, one factor that might influence players' decisions about whether to purchase it is the price, which remains a mystery for now.@MarathonTheGame would be a "premium product" but not a "full-priced title," which is what the official Twitter account has to say about pricing. In the latest episode of The Friends Per Second Podcast, Game Director Joe Ziegler shed light on the decision why Marathon wouldn't be a free-to-play title (starting around the 31-minute mark)."We're hoping or we are aspiring that what we’re showing is exciting enough that someone is going to take the leap with us, but we are also committed to delivering on seasons past this that will continuously offer to evolve the game without an increase to the box price," Ziegler said.The team, which is passionate about the genre, has been focusing on the commitment "to making this a game that's really awesome" and they feel that the "starting point is really strong at this current time." He went on and concluded, "everyone's got their own definition of what is the right price ... we're hoping that we hit the right price that makes you feel it's worth your value."An earlier rumor said it'd be priced at $40, the same price as the now-defunct Concord. But we may have to wait until this summer, when developers are ready to share more details, to learn the cost of entering this extraction shooter.What is the price that you're willing to pay to try this game?
