Chronologically the third game of the Medal of Honor series, but the first for the PC platform came out on this day exactly nineteen years ago. The Medal of Honor series began as one of the few shooters in the 90s that were specifically designed just for consoles. But with the transition to the 21st century, Electronic Arts decided to expand the horizons for the then still WWII series, and bring it to the PC platform. It was a full year before the board rolled with Call of Duty, a game that started as a PC exclusive only to later appear on consoles. On this day, exactly nineteen years ago, the Medal of Honor: Allied Assault was launched. It was a virtual version of Spielberg’s film spectacle Saving Private Ryan, and took the actors from Algeria, through Norway to occupied France. It was played with ranger Mike Powell who helped several other characters, including Manon Batiste - the protagonist of Medal of Honor: Underground. In addition to the single-player campaign, the game also had multiplayer with four different modes. It was possible to choose between two sides, and a scoring system was used, which was a kind of forerunner of killstreaks in the CoD. As in the previous Medal of Honor games, the action here was accompanied by original music by composer Michael Giacchino. Allied Assault was and remains the best game of the Medal of Honor series for many. Allied Assault was and remains the best game of the MoH series for many. Although MoH: Frontline was released for consoles the same year, what the game offered remained pale compared to the introduction in Allied Assault, which had the most impressive depiction of Allied landings on the Normandy coast to date. This part of the MoH series was also remembered as the only MoH to have had two expansions, called Spearhead and Breakthrough.

Looking retrospectively, Allied Assault was actually the beginning of a completely different series. It used the same idTech 3 launchers (though modified) as Call of Duty, and was worked on by the founders of Infinity Ward who later launched a mega-successful series for Activision.

Studio Team Ninja has released a new trailer for the PC version of last year’s hit Nioh 2 and revealed what configurations we will need to run the game. Players on the PC platform will be able to play them until recently PS4 exclusive Nioh 2 next month. As announced, the Nioh 2 on PC comes as a Complete Edition in a package with three additional chapters and will bring some specifics for PC gamers, such as support for ultra-wide monitors and multiple monitors at the same time. The game will not be locked at 60 fps, which is good to hear, and although it goes without saying, we also have confirmation that it will be able to play with the mouse and keyboard. For the PC version, hardware requirements have also been published that are not terrible at first glance. However, the requirements are only partial as they only list a combination of Intel processors and Nvidia graphics cards, which means AMD owners have to guess similar components. In any case, the requirements for Nioh 2 on a PC are as follows: Minimally sharpened configuration:

Hogwarts Legacy, a game in the wizarding world of Harry Potter, will not be completed this year, the developers have confirmed. Just a few days after we ranked the magical RPG Hogwarts Legacy among the ten most anticipated games of 2021, we had a cold shower. The creators of the game thanked the fans for accepting the announcement but said that they want to deliver a quality product that needs more time. In translation, the game has been moved to 2022. Truth be told, we didn't even have a precise release date before, and we don't have one now either. We only know that this project has been under construction for more than four years, which is atypically long. Given that the game has been announced for the old PS4 and XBO consoles, at least now we can say that new games will be released for these platforms in 2022.

Streaming platform StreamElements and data and analytics platform Arsenal.gg have released their 2020 State of the Stream report, which highlights the most popular games and streamers for the last month of the previous year, as well as taking a look at the year as a whole. Judging by hours watched, one new game in 2020 that courted fans on Twitch has been a smashing success. In April, Riot Games tied Valorant beta access to Twitch viewership. That initial seeding might have helped the game become a huge success among viewers, racking up 737 million hours viewed throughout the year, the report said. That number easily dwarfed the #2 most popular new IP on Twitch for 2020, Mediatonic’s Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout, which managed just 139 million hours viewed. Genshin Impact (#5, 59 million), Hyper Scape (#7, 18 million), Rogue Company (#9, 17 million), and Eternal Return: Black Survival (#10, 16 million) were the other F2P games that made the top 10. Valorant came in at #5 on the overall list — technically #4 if you don’t count the most popular, but non-gaming, channel “Just Chatting.” League of Legends (#2, 1.4 billion) and Fortnite (#3, 904 million) were ahead of it, while Counter-Strike: Global Warfare (#7, 635 million) and Dota 2 (#8, 464 million) trailed behind. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare also made the list at #6, partially aided by the free-to-play Warzone battle royale mode. Another big takeaway from the report is simply the notable spike in viewership hours across all platforms — well, except Mixer — starting in April. All three of the services profiled in the report — Twitch, Facebook, and DLive — saw increases of 50-75% after lockdowns started occurring in much of the world in late March and early April. (Don’t be fooled by the seemingly larger spike on Twitch’s graph; the Y-axis bottoms out at 900 million, as opposed to zero on the other two charts.)

According to the statistics of the site that counts the prizes awarded for games, in 2020 no one was even close to the number of collected prizes won by the game The Last of Us Part II. GameAwards.net (which has nothing to do with The Game Awards ceremony) diligently keeps track of the awards for the best video games each year. They include hundreds of media and awards given by the audience, including two Croatian gaming portals, including our HCL. They have done their task of collecting data for 2020 as well, and the statistics are interesting. By far the most awards for the best game of the year were collected by The Last of Us Part II - as many as 210, which is the highest in the last five years. The last time he won several awards was The Witcher 3, back in 2015. Out of a total of 210 awards, The Last of Us Part II was named Game of the Year in 145 different publications, and 65 times the award was given to him by the audience. provided by the HCL audience). The dominance of this game in the number of prizes is clearly shown by the fact that all other games (about 20 of them) collected so many prizes, neither from the media nor from the audience. However, for now, TLOU2 has collected a smaller number of awards than its predecessor, which in 2013 was the first with 249 awards won. The second place in the number of awards for the game of the year is held by Hades with a total of 47 awards (only 3 audience awards), and the third is Ghost of Tsushima with 37. Among the games that were declared the best by critics and the audience did not award them with any award Eternal and Animal Crossing: New Horizons. Among the games that were named best in 2020 is one you’ve probably never heard of - Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin, which was named Game of the Year by an Australian publication.
