Resident Evil 3 Remake Surpasses Impressive Sales Milestone In Just Five Days

Capcom has announced that Resident Evil 3 Remake, which launched on April 3, shipped more than two million copies across PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One worldwide. Though the game has only been out for a little over a week, Capcom said the RE3 Remake hit the milestone five days after it released.

Last year's remake, Resident Evil 2, shipped more than 6.5 million copies to date. For comparison, 1998's Resident Evil 2 shipped a little under five million units and 1999's Resident Evil 3: Nemesis shipped 3.5 million units in their lifetime.

Capcom also noted that 50% of RE3 Remake's sales came from digital purchases. These figures bring the RE series' lifetime sales to more than 95 million units as of December 31, 2019, according to the company's report. Physical distribution has been impacted by the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak, with many companies like Obsidian Entertainment and Square Enix confirming delays in shipping hard copies of The Outer Worlds on Nintendo Switch and Final Fantasy 7 Remake on PlayStation 4.

Reminder: Today Is Bunny Day In Animal Crossing: New Horizons



Nintendo Life

Happy Bunny Day! Yep, if you’ve been playing Animal Crossing: New Horizons for the past few weeks, you’ll know there’s been a special seasonal event where you gather as many eggs as possible and then craft them into bunny-themed items and furniture.

Today is the final day, and to go out with a bang, Zipper has returned to your island paradise. He can help you out by gifting specific eggs to complete certain DIY recipes – provided you’re willing to part with some of your other eggs. He’s also offering some extra gifts if you supply him with one of each egg (leaf egg, stone egg, earth egg, sky egg, water egg, and wood egg).

So, collect all those Bunny Day eggs and recipes, and craft them while you still can. For more information, and extra details, check out our full Bunny Day guide. Will you be booting up Animal Crossing to experience the final day of this event? How have you found it so far? Leave a comment down below.

Quote:Hello, and a happy Bunny Day to everyone!

Today is actual Bunny Day and the final day of our celebrations, yes, yes! So hunt for eggs, craft Bunny Day decorations, and brighten up your island before the end of the day! pic.twitter.com/wRVPZBJwLY

Valorant Beta: Tips, Tactics, And Everything You Need To Know

There's a ton of interest around Valorant, the character-based tactical shooter from Riot Games (developers of League of Legends and Teamfight Tactics). It set Twitch streaming viewership records with 34 million hours watched in a single day and, at one point, reached a peak concurrent of 1.7 million viewers.

Whether or not it's from the thirst for beta access, Valorant is gaining notoriety by combining aspects of Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, Rainbow Six Siege, and Overwatch. For those who haven't dug into its systems or haven't even had a chance to play, here's our basic rundown so you can get a full picture of what Valorant is about.

Agents Are The Real Heroes

The "heroes" in Valorant are called Agents and there are five to start off with an additional five to unlock, which you get from simply playing the game and earning XP on your account. Each player chooses who to play as throughout an entire match, and only one of each Agent is allowed per team.

ESRB And PEGI Will Continue To Assign Ratings Remotely





If you’re wondering what’s going on with classification boards around the world now that CERO in Japan has been temporarily closed, it’s business as usual.

An update from IGN reveals the ESRB in America has been working from home in recent weeks. So far, it’s had no issues assigning ratings remotely. Here’s an official statement:

Quote:Thanks to a good deal of advance planning, since March 16 ESRB has been operating remotely due to the COVID-19 outbreak. We have seen no delay in assigning ratings. We will continue to assign ratings remotely for as long as required.

Over in Europe, the European games rating agency PEGI is also working remotely. The impact of the resulting measures has been minimal:

Quote:In short: yes, we are currently working remotely with minimal impact on our operations. When this situation started to unfold across Europe a couple of weeks ago, we quickly found a way to continue our daily operations by working remotely. Given that PEGI (in Brussels) works with two independent administrators that are located in The Netherlands and the United Kingdom, and they deal with publishers all over the world that we do not have to meet in person, cooperating remotely has always been part of our daily routine. But now it happens from homes instead of different offices.

Quote:

Quote:We informed the companies using the PEGI system that, until local authorities announce a change to the current measures, we will be working like this. But until now, the impact of the pandemic and the resulting measures has been minimal.

Unless something major happens or there is a problem on the publisher or development end, games in these regions will continue to be rated.

Yooka-Laylee Is Now Three Years Old





Can you believe it? Playtonic’s unlikely duo Yooka-Laylee is now three years old! The original game of the same name was first released on the 11th of April 2017 after a record-breaking Kickstarter campaign. And although it never saw the light of day on Nintendo’s Wii U, it did eventually show up on the Switch.

To celebrate this special milestone, the game’s publisher Team17 has released the following tweet, asking fans to share their favourite moments so far with these characters.

Quote:#YookaLaylee turns three today! ??​

What’s been your favourite moment with buddy duo Yooka & Laylee so far?! pic.twitter.com/R0XptX9Uyd

— Team17 (@Team17Ltd) April 11, 2020

In this short time frame, Yooka-Laylee has made a cameo in the fighting game Brawlout and appeared in the side-scrolling sequel, Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair. If you haven’t tried out the second game yet, now is the perfect time. It’s currently on sale on the Switch eShop for just $20.09 / £16.74.

Earlier this week, Playtonic also rolled out a new update for the Impossible Lair, making it a little bit easier. A second update will follow this on 14th April, and adds in an 8-bit soundtrack.


On behalf of everyone here at Nintendo Life, happy birthday Yooka-Laylee. Share your own favourite memories of these characters and their games in the comments below.

Call Of Duty: Warzone Hits Big Player Milestone

Call of Duty: Warzone, the free-to-play battle royale component of Modern Warfare, has hit a new player milestone. Just one month after launch the game has hit 50 million players, according to publisher Activision.

Warzone got off to a quick start, surpassing 6 million players in the first 24 hours and then hitting 15 million after a few days. Following that initial burst it has continued to steadily add more players, and the new 50 million number means it's been gathering an average of more than a million per day since then.

It's not surprising that a free-to-play Call of Duty would attract a large audience. The similarly F2P Call of Duty Mobile recently reached 150 million downloads worldwide. And both Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and the standalone Warzone have been performing well in sales charts. Modern Warfare and the standalone Modern Warfare 2 Campaign Remastered hit #1 and #5 on the most recent PlayStation Network sales charts, respectively. Warzone topped the F2P chart.

How to Calculate the Column Standard Deviation of a DataFrame in Python Pandas?

Want to calculate the standard deviation of a column in your PandasDataFrame?

In case you’ve attended your last statistics course a few years ago, let’s quickly recap the definition of variance: it’s the average squared deviation of the list elements from the average value.





You can do this by using the

Code:

pd.std()

function that calculates the standard deviation along all columns. You can then get the column you’re interested in after the computation.


Your DataFrame looks like this:

|
username |
age |
income

0 |
Alice |
18 |
100000

1 |
Bob |
22 |
98000

2 |
Carl |
43 |
111000

Here’s how you can calculate the standard deviation of all columns:


The output is the standard deviation of all columns:


To get the variance of an individual column, access it using simple indexing:


Together, the code looks as follows. Use the interactive shell to play with it!

Standard Deviation in NumPy Library

Python’s package for data science computation NumPy also has great statistics functionality. You can calculate all basic statistics functions such as average, median, variance, and standard deviation on NumPy arrays. Simply import the NumPy library and use the method to calculate the average value of NumPy array .

Here’s the code:
