The fifth season For Honor comes in a few days, and with dedicated servers

Ubisoft officially confirmed that the fifth season of hack & slash action game For Honor, known as Age of Wolves, will start on February 15 and that only a few days later its PC version will get long-deserved dedicated servers. On this occasion, Ubisoft has not been precise when dedicated servers can be expected on consoles, but coming to the PC should result in much better matchmaking and more fluid and stable matches.

One of the biggest minuses of last year's For Honor game was definitely the P2P network multiplayer performance. In short, that performance has made it easier to launch the game, lowering some online traffic to the players. The adverse effects of this were the slowdown and general breaks during the match. For one game that relied so much on the multiplayer component, Ubisoft's move was "inexpensive" in the absence of another description.

Need for speed : Payback – Drifting all the way

Need for Speed™, one of the world’s bestselling video game franchises, returns with a vengeance in the new action-driving blockbuster, Need for Speed Payback. Set in the underworld of Fortune Valley, you and your crew were divided by betrayal and reunited by revenge to take down The House, a nefarious cartel that rules the city’s casinos, criminals and cops.

Need For Speed Payback sees the long-running franchise return after a two year-long absence. The last entry acted as a bit of a reboot and saw things shift from open-world racing to more of a narrative-driven structure complete with live-action footage mixing in with game models. Prior to the release of Need for Speed Payback I made a joke how this could be NFS Refund or NFS Retrovizor. After I invested more time in that game than she deserved, I think it would be better to be NFS Payoff. Namely, everything in the new NFS is about paying. For every possible thing, even the most ridiculous, the game pays you some points.
