Ubisoft warns that some players "may experience long delays when trying to login" to its servers in order to play the PC version of Watch Dogs, rendering the game unplayable on launch day.
An influx of new players apparently overwhelmed Ubisoft's authentication services, leaving some unable to join or log in to Ubisoft's uPlay network. Kotaku reports that players are experiencing a number of issues as a result, including stalled downloads, in-game crashes, and unrecoverable errors.
Ubisoft has not issued a timeframe for a fix, but notes that affected customers should "stay tuned" for updates.

Wolfenstein: The New Order used a strong launch to knock DayZ off the top spot of this week's Steam top sellers chart.
Supergiant's Transistor also sold its way past Bohemia's Early Access title, grabbing the runner-up spot and relegating DayZ to third.
Pre-orders for Watch Dogs continue to keep the upcoming game near the top of the charts, while discount specials on Dark Souls and The Witcher franchises lifted the past chart-toppers back onto the list.
Here's all ten:
- Wolfenstein: The New Order
- Transistor
- DayZ
- Watch Dogs
- Arma 3
- Planetary Annihilation
- Dark Souls: Prepare To Die Edition
- Dark Souls II
- Tropico 5
- The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings Enhanced Edition

I mean, of course it’s being worked on, right? But if it’s being worked on, then where the hell is it? Etcetera etcetera.
On what side of the fence you fall will completely dictate whether the following does or does not qualify as news. Nonetheless, here it is regardless:
Former Valve employee and Counter Strike creator Minh Le has told goRGNtv that Half-Life 3 is very much alive and well and is currently being worked on, OXM reports.
"I don't think I can talk about that, to be honest, but I think it's kind of public knowledge, that people know that it is being worked on,” Le remarked.
“And so if I were to say that yeah, I've seen some images, like some concept art of it, that wouldn't be big news to be honest. But yeah, I mean like I guess I could say that I did see something that looked kinda like in the Half-Life universe. And I mean it wouldn't surprise anyone if I said they're doing it, they're working on it, yeah.
“So to go on a limb I'd say I did see some concept art for Half-Life 3.
"There's like a laser sight on my head right now! Somebody's knocking on my door right now. Hopefully that doesn't get out. It seems like old news by now, I think everybody knows it's being worked on."

Xbox One controller compatibility for Windows PC is nearing public release, Microsoft's Larry Hryb has confirmed.
"Soon. Very soon," Hryb said, replying on a NeoGAF threadrevolving around the subject of when the necessary drivers would be made available via Windows. Microsoft previously stated in August 2013 that Windows support for Xbox One's peripheral would arrive in 2014.
While Microsoft has already confirmed the gamepads will work plugged into a USB port, the company remained vague on if the Windows compatibility will include wireless support as well.
Xbox 360's wired controller supported play on Windows PC out of the box, but wireless 360 controllers require a receiver that didn't arrive until nine months after the console's launch in late 2005.

The PC market is changing rapidly as tablets supplant some laptops, new players such as the Chromebook disrupt the old WIntel model, and innovations in processors and graphics allow for ever-smaller PCs such as Intel's NUC (Next Unit of Computing) PC. Gigabyte recently introduced a rather unique product that combines the tiny 4.5-inch square form factor of Intel's NUC PC platform together with a mini DLP projector. TheGigabyte Brix Projector measures 4.24 x 4.5 x 1.93 inches (WxLxD) but manages to fit in an Intel Core i3-4010U (1.7GHz) processor with built-in Intel HD 4400 graphics and support for up to 16GB of 1600MHz RAM. Finally, an mSATA slot inside the chassis also supports up to a 256GB SSD. The system's DLP (LED backlight) projector itself offers a resolution of 864x480 with an aspect ratio of 16:9 and a purported image size of 7 to 85 inches. It promises 75 ANSI lumen brightness, a contrast ratio of around 900:1, and 3LED (RGB) technology. It's not an HD setup but the potential use cases are interesting. A follow-on version capable of 1080p output would be even more useful for gaming and HD video.

TechCrunch's video introduction (not intended as a full review) to the recently introduced Microsoft Surface Pro 3 has mostly good things to say about the device. Reviewer Alex Wilhelm compares it to his MacBook Air, and though he's not sure that the Surface is a better fit for all-day typing than the 11" Air (slightly larger, slightly heavier than the Surface), he says the Surface does a good job of integrating input options (both finger and stylus input) that the Air -- and most laptops -- just don't have. The Washington Post's Hayley Tsukayama also compares the Surface to the Air, rather than to an Android or Apple tablet, writing, "It's heavy for a tablet, sure, but light for a laptop at 1.7 pounds. And while it doesn't have the array of ports that laptops do, you can make do with the two that it does have, a mini-display port that's good for presentations and a USB 3.0 that's good for, well, everything else. You will probably need a hub to get everything you want of this, though. (Or you could go to using Bluetooth accessories, which the Surface Pro 3 will also support.)" Ars Technica has an informative hands-on review as well, but one which parts from these by emphatically describing the Surface as a tablet, not a laptop; Ars reviewer Peter Bright gives high marks for many aspects of the design and materials, though he says his experience with the included pressure-sensitive pen was "problematic." (His initial sample pen had to be replaced, and even when it did work, it lacks tilt sensing.) Troubling for anyone who would prefer to use it as a laptop, Bright says the Surface 3 is better than its forebears but still an awkward fit for using on an actual lap, and that despite the improvements Microsoft's made it therefore isn't quite the system he's looking for.

It turns out that maintaining the balance of light and dark is extremely important for the well being of the world's inhabitants. Who knew, right? Final Fantasy 3's world has an impending balance problem of its own, but it's nothing that a group of young orphans can't fix by banding together, inheriting power from talking crystals and buffing their skill set at the expense of a lot of monsters. Steam users can do all of the above starting on May 27, when Square-Enix brings the RPG to PCs for $15.99.
The Steam version will offer trading cards and achievements, with its store page also boasting "upgraded graphics for PC." Though we'll soon have a choice from the mobile, PC or Nintendo DS versions, it took 16 years for Final Fantasy 3 to reach Europe or North America after its 1990 Japanese debut.

Microsoft's intimate Surface event didn't reveal the smaller tablet many expected, instead it went much bigger. In an attempt to capitalize on early buzz for its new super-thin 12-inch slate, the company today opened pre-orders for the Surface Pro 3, Surface Pro Type Cover and Surface Pen in 22 countries worldwide. The Core i7 Surface Pro 3 is now available on the Microsoft Store in both 256GB and 512GB variants, starting at $1,549/£1,339 with an estimated August 31st ship date. The $799/£639 64GB Core i3 model is expected to ship around the same time, although the Core i5 versions of the Surface Pro 3, Surface Pro Type Cover, Surface Pen and Pen Loop will make their way to you a little earlier, shipping by June 20th. Customers in China, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Thailand and Taiwan will have to wait until August to get their hands on the biggest, highest-resolution Surface yet.

An opinion piece at ReadWriteWeb makes an interesting suggestion: Microsoft's efforts in the tablet market aren't aimed at competing with the iPad or any of the Android tablets, but rather inventing a new facet of the PC market — one Microsoft alone is targeting. Quoting: 'Microsoft wants everyone to think the Surface Pro 3 is a tablet, but its pricing gives the game away. Microsoft wants to recreate the lucrative PC market that made the company billions of dollars by repackaging a PC into tablet clothing and then hammering away at the Surface product line until everybody believes that PCs never really went anywhere, they just got a touchscreen and a cellular connection.' This is also supported by the lack of a smaller Surface tablet, which many analysts were predicting before this week's press conference. Microsoft is clearly not pursuing the tablet-for-everyone approach, but instead focusing on users who want productivity out of their mobile computing device. The Surface Pros are expensive, but Microsoft is hoping people will balance that cost against the cost of a work laptop plus a personal tablet.

When Microsoft invited us to a "small gathering" here in New York City, we thought that meant a smaller-screened Surface Mini was in order. Instead, the company just announced a larger Surface, the 12-inch Surface Pro 3. Like the previous Surface Pro, it supports pen input, making it a good choice for creative professionals, especially with that pixel-dense 2,160 x 1,440 screen. In addition to being the biggest, highest-res Surface yet, though, it's also the thinnest-ever product with an Intel Core i7 processor. All told, the thing measures just 9.1mm (0.36 inch) thick, putting it on par with an older-gen iPad -- incredible when you remember this is more akin to an Ultrabook than a tablet.

We'd surmise that a few folks were disappointed then Microsoft's Surface eventconcluded earlier today. Rumors swirled that the "small gathering" tease meant a more compact version of Redmond's tablet was imminent, but instead the festivities focused on a larger 12-inch pro model. Now, Bloomberg reports that a more compact model was on tap before being nixed ahead of its official debut. The report states that CEO Satya Nadella and EVP Stephen Elop concluded that the device didn't offer enough pizazz to differentiate it from the options that are currently on the market -- smaller Windows-powered slates from the likes of Dell and others. MS engineers had reportedly been working on the so-called Surface mini alongside Qualcomm for the better part of a year before the plug was pulled ahead of final approval.

Microsoft has unveiled the Surface Pro 3.
Like the previous generations of the Surface, the Surface Pro 3 includes an integrated kickstand, but adds multi-stage positioning, including a ‘canvas mode’ which props the Pro 3 at a 150-degree angle – suitable for digital artists.
To showcase the Pro 3’s suitability for creative professionals, Microsoft invited Adobe on-stage to demonstrate a new touch-optimised edition of Adobe Photoshop, which was operating using a new Surface Pro 3 stylus.
"This is the tablet than can replace your laptop," said Surface head Panos Panay, revealing the device.
The Pro 3 increases the Surface 2’s 10.6-inch screen to a 12-inch 3:2 ratio HD display.
The Pro 3 is also thinner and lighter than the previous iteration of the tablet, shrinking down to 9.1mm thick and 800g, with thinner surrounding bezels – Panay compared the tablet to an Apple MacBook Air.
Inside the tablet sits an Intel Core i7 processor.
Microsoft also revealed a new Type Cover, which adds a laptop-like trackpad and magnetically attaches to the Pro 3, adjusting to each kickstand position.
Panay, again citing the tablet’s positioning as a replacement for laptops, highlighted the device’s “lapability” – or ease of use on a lap – which the previous two Surface tablets struggled to address.
The device will go on sale in the US on May 21st, starting at $799 (£474).

Alienware's upcoming Steam Machine may be many things - stylish, made in collaboration with Valve, upgradeable, due this September - but one thing it won't be is a source of major income for parent company Dell. Division general manager Frank Azor told The Wall Street Journal that the Alienware Steam Machine will "absolutely be the least profitable system" the company will ever sell.
Unfortunately, we still don't know the pricing scheme of Alienware's entry to the already-crowded Steam Machine market. We don't even know what's going to be inside of the thing, other than an Intel processor and an Nvidia graphics card. It is, for now, a low-profit mystery.
