One player in No Man’s Sky will soon set out with a shipload of the game’s most ludicrously valuable items. The plan? Drop them on unsuspecting travelers in multiplayer. At 18 million credits each, receiving even one or two items would be a big boost to those still plowing through the early portion of the game. Redditor Long_Nose_Jim seems to have hit the motherlode. They’ve been able to build 215 Stasis Devices, currently the most expensive item in the game. Each one is worth 18 million credits. Stacked five deep on their starship, that’s a stockpile worth more than 3.8 billion credits. Now, they’ve decided to share the wealth. “Spent the last 2 weeks filling one of my haulers,” they write. “Now its [sic] time to give these all away!” To put that into perspective, your top-of-the-line freighter — a massive floating starbase that players can move around the universe with a fleet of support ships — will only run you … [Read more...] about No Man’s Sky player is sharing 3.8 billion credits worth of gear with random strangers

Shovel Knight was revealed earlier this week as an assist trophy for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. For those hoping to play as the character himself, though, Rivals of Aether announced that he would join their game soon as a premium DLC. This makes 21 appearances for Shovel Knight in games not named Shovel Knight, and 14 of them are playable. Dan Fornace llc (makers of Rivals of Aether) and Yacht Club Games (creators of Shovel Knight) announced the premium DLC today. It costs $4.99 and will come with a Troupple Pond stage from his 2014 game. “Many of his attacks seem simple on first glance but have intricacies in how you can use them, similar to his abilities in his own game,” writes the Rivals of Aether developers. “Shovel Knight’s signature Shovel Drop is a big part of his game plan in Rivals of Aether and sets up for his combos.” Shovel Knight has now cameoed in others’ video games more than Ted McGinley on 1970s network television.

The remake of Resident Evil 2, announced during this year’s E3 in Los Angeles, certainly got a lot of fans excited. Now, developer and publisher Capcom has unveiled a monstrous new collector’s edition of the game. Coming in at 99,800 yen, or around $900, it may be just a little bit overpriced for what’s inside. It’s called the Biohazard RE: 2 Z Version Premium Edition. It includes the game’s standard collector’s edition, which, among other items, features a dashing 12-inch tall statue of main character Leon, as well as the game’s enhanced soundtrack and an art book. By itself, that package will run you about $225. The Z Version Premium Edition adds on a full-size Qwerkywriter Bluetooth mechanical keyboard, complete with top-of-the-line Cherry blue keyswitches and a mount for your tablet or smartphone. It’s a modified version of Qwerkywriter’s own S model, which you can find online for $249.99.
