Kotaku Wednesday, July 13, 2022 9:00 PM Looks like some people have been enjoying a little more than just early footage of the upcoming Skate 4. While EA continues to keep fans refreshingly up-to-date on a game that's still a while off, the developers have written a blog post to say there's a limit to that sentiment, and to ask folks to please stop playing… |

PCGamesN Wednesday, July 13, 2022 5:45 PM  Ubisoft has announced some adjustments to the Rainbow Six Siege Year 7 roadmap. Some of the key features that were originally planned for the multiplayer game's third season this year have been pushed back to season four, but another map will be joining the ranked/unranked pool to help soften the blow. The Rainbow Six team hasn't revealed the map that will be joining the competitive map pool in season three, but says it's "a map you've played before", that it was part of an event, and that it's never been included in the competitive pool before. Players reckon that this effectively narrows it down to the Road to the Six Invitational Stadium map, although that could mean either of two versions that have appeared in the game to date.

PCGamesN Wednesday, July 13, 2022 4:47 PM  Fans' cries have been heard: the latest Apex Legends update fixes Loba's bracelet, which has been unreliable since the beginning of Season 13 in the popular battle royale game. Throughout this season, her Burglar's Best Friend tactical ability has failed when she's near a body of water, leading to frustrating situations (and losses) for players who main the sneaky thief.

Tomonobu Itakagi, former head of Koei Tecmo's Team Ninja, has a new studio. He's also working on a new game, called Warrior, an NFT Massive Multiplayer Online RPG (MMORPG). Itagaki's new studio, called Apex Game Studios, will specialize in developing "triple-A Web3 titles." "Web3" is a catchphrase for blockchain-related internet technologies, including NFTs (non-fungible tokens), cryptocurrencies, and "decentralized finances." Virtual reality social and commercial spaces like the "Metaverse" are often classified as part of "Web3" but don't necessarily require blockchain or cryptocurrency technology to work. Warrior is built on the Unreal engine and slated for initial release early in 2023, with mobile platforms and PC targeted. Actual details about how Warrior will play or what it will look like are sparse, though. The official site contains some copy laying out the premise of the game, which is that players are on a journey to claim the power of the "King Warrior." Gameplay descriptions promise an upgrade system using randomly generated gear, "tribal territory," and "mob servants" that can be traded back and forth. Much of the site's content is dedicated to explaining the Warrior NFT economy. The main Warrior NFT items are called "Mob Servants." There will be over 100 different types, with randomly assigned ranks that determine their power. Mob Servants can be improved and customized, as well as traded for WGT, one of the game's two custom cryptocurrencies. Players can earn WGT through regular play, generating it through game activity, then use it as a currency for trade and redeem it to unlock certain activities. A second currency called WDT is limited and used for "governance and utility." Players can earn small amounts of WDT through competition, but it's to be purchased with other cryptocurrencies and used to make decisions about the game itself, allegedly giving players more say in Warrior's management on a macro level. All in all, the Warrior NFT economy seems similar to the one used by Ni no Kuni: Cross Worlds. Managed by NetMarble, that game uses crypto tokens for various in-game functions. The tokens can be "farmed" and sold for other cryptocurrencies that can theoretically be sold on for useful "fiat" currency (such as US dollars). In his initial impressions of the game, Kazuma criticized the game's aggressive monetization. Warrior comes just as NFT trading has hit a 12-month low. Cryptocurrencies in general have seen a major crash in notional value since their peak in late 2021. Crypto markets have lost close to $2 trillion USD in alleged value over the past 7 months. Crypto integration in games has also proven controversial for many due to concerns over blockchain technology and cryptocurrency. Larger companies like Square Enix and Bandai Namco expressed some enthusiasm for NFT and blockchain games. However, they've slowed, reversed, or outright abandoned plans in the face of overwhelming public backlash. Warrior is in development and planned for an early 2023 release on PC and mobile platforms. The post Dead or Alive Creator Tomonobu Itakagi Making Warrior NFT Game appeared first on Siliconera. |
PC Invasion - FeedDDD Wednesday, July 13, 2022 7:30 PM  Today marks the 35th anniversary of the world-famous Metal Gear series. Konami celebrated with a quick thanks on Twitter, while also confirming something fans have been wondering about for a while. Last November, two Metal Gear Solid games were de-listed from digital storefronts over licensing issues. However, Konami has announced that it's getting them back. Granted, the Japanese publisher/developer said their removal would only be temporary. Still, that meant Metal Gear Solid 2: Substance would no longer be available for PC players. It was taken off the GOG marketplace in November of 2021. And it wasn't alone. Metal Gear Solid 2 HD and Metal Gear Solid 3 HD were removed from Nvidia Shield at the same time. The only Metal Gear Solid games available on PC at this current time are the original and Metal Gear Solid V. "Thank you to everyone that enjoyed and celebrated the series so far," Konami wrote on the Metal Gear Twitter account. "We ask for your... |
PC Invasion - FeedDDD Wednesday, July 13, 2022 7:00 PM  You may already know about Sam Barlow, the game designer known for the 2015 FMV narrative game Her Story. You may have not heard, however, that Barlow will soon release Immortality, a horror game that also uses the same FMV techniques. Notably, a press release refers to Immortality as "Barlow's first return to the horror genre since Silent Hill: Shattered Memories in 2009." Originally, Barlow and his team at Half Mermaid Productions planned to put out his new project on July 26. However, the aforementioned press release stated that the team has chosen to delay Immortality so it can turn out that little bit more polished. For those who wish to know the gist of Immortality's story, it involves the disappearance of an actress named Marissa Marcel who starred in three movies that never saw an official release. To discover the secret behind her absence, players rummage through long-lost footage of these three films and look out for any potential clues. Leave... |
PC Invasion - FeedDDD Wednesday, July 13, 2022 4:00 PM  The Paper Mario series had some of the most imaginative RPGs around, but it has unfortunately lost its way in recent years. Later installments place Mario in scenarios that pale in comparison to those of the first few entries, and they ditched the simple, effective battle systems in favor of more gimmicky alternatives. Exactly why Nintendo has doubled down on the series' new unpopular direction remains unclear, but fortunately, fans of the earlier entries have stepped up to fill the void they left behind. Back in 2019, developer Moonsprout Games impressed classic Paper Mario fans with its critically-acclaimed RPG Bug Fables: The Everlasting Sapling. Now, developer Sleepy Castle Studio has shown off its own take on Paper Mario in the form of the upcoming game Flynt Buckler Wakes the Sleepy Castle. According to the Steam page, Flynt Buckler features a world filled with characters from old bedtime stories that can interact with each other and live in harmony. Unfortunately,... |
