Players are reporting Overwatch 2 phone number connection issues on Battlenet, causing concern that they will not be able to play the FPS game sequel when the Overwatch 2 release date arrives on October 4. Developer Blizzard has introduced a new initiative named 'Defense Matrix' (after the signature ability of its Korean tank hero D.Va), which requires players to activate 'SMS protection' on their Battlenet account to play the free game.

     How to griddy in FIFA 23

Wondering how to griddy in FIFA 23? The dance, now in the football game for the first time, was first seen in the NFL, then rose in popularity after it was featured in Fortnite, with Christian Pulisic performing the celebration after scoring in the Champions League. It sees the player shuffling their feet while swinging their arms, eventually bringing their hands to their face with an 'OK' symbol.

Celebrating in FIFA 23 is a dark art, striking that fine line between boasting without trolling your opponent. It can break anyone's composure if done correctly, and as we know, half the battle is inside your foe's mind. With that said, this is what you need to know about how to griddy in FIFA 23.

     FIFA 23 Pro Clubs guide

FIFA 23 Pro Clubs is a mode that has been overlooked for years, with the forgotten football game co-op experience getting barely a handful of changes each time a new FIFA gets released. It's a shame, really, because Pro Clubs has always had such huge potential, a full 11 v 11 game mode where teamwork is paramount is something you just can't find anywhere else.

While FIFA 23 has included some tweaks to Pro Clubs this time around, with seasonal progression now transferring across to Volta, the changes aren't going to mix things up too much. Could EA  possibly be waiting for EA Sports FC, the big rebrand coming next year, to revitalise Pro Clubs? Either way, here's everything you need to know about FIFA 23 Pro Clubs.

At this year's Gamescom I got hands-on with Bytten Studio's Cassette Beasts, an upcoming monster-taming open world RPG in the vein of Pokémon, which is far more interesting to me than the basic concept of Pokémon. That's because you're able to fuse together any monsters you 'catch', but moreso because it's a monster collectathon where you become the monster, essentially fusing yourself with bomb dogs and hermit crabs with traffic cone-homes.

I like the way the game does away with the overdone shonen story of wanting to become the very best there ever was, and instead puts the spotlight on its cast of characters and the relationships you form with your buds. It's looking mighty promising.

If you've ever wondered what the 1987 film Running Man might look like as a turn-based tactics game (see also last year's Netflix sensation Squid Game, if the Running Man reference doesn't quite do it for you), then Homicidal All-Stars probably comes pretty close. It's the debut game from Artificer, a new studio formed by a bunch of ex-CreativeForge devs who worked on the first Hard West and Phantom Doctrine, and it centres on a woman called Scarlett who finds herself competing in the deadly TV show that gives the game its name. Like Running Man, Squid Game and all those other 'deadly games' you know and love, Homicidal All-Stars is about folks who down on their luck fighting for their lives, where their only consolation prize in these dystopian bloodbaths is not getting pulped at the end of it.

For Scarlett, this means mowing down scumbags in classic turn-based fashion with a bunch of other friendly competitors she's teamed up with, but this is far from a straightforward XCOM-like. Between fights, you'll also be navigating its trap-filled arenas in third-person, dodging sniper turrets, disabling tripwires, and dashing over spiky/fiery/horrible pits to get to the end of each 'episode'. It's a refreshing mix based on an early preview build I've been playing recently, especially when its gameshow hook allows for its malicious host, Orion Ford, to start meddling with your success. "He's the person behind the worst of the twists," creative director and Artificer CEO Kacper Szymczak tells me. "He'll start filling the level with poisonous gas, he'll turn off the lights, drop explosive barrels everywhere, to name just a few."

Gundam Metaverse Interactive AI - Mellow

Visitors to the upcoming Gundam Metaverse will be able to talk with interactive AI characters. The Gundam Conference Autumn 2022 stream featured the debut of an AI character named Mellow Neige. The character wearing Haro-themed headband and necklace will appear in the Metaverse to discuss Gundam-related topics with the community via chats with a voice tone that feels close to a real human.

Shortly after Mellow's introduction video which starts at the 12:04 mark, Bandai Namco's Chief Gundam Officer Kouji Fujiwara revealed more details about the AI character. The company will fill Mellow's database with knowledge about the Gundam franchise and the Gunpla kits. When the Metaverse goes live, the AI will learn more from the community's responses. Mellow will not have a gender due to being an AI. At the end of the introduction video, Mellow hinted that the Metaverse may have more AI characters available.

Gundam Metaverse AI Mellow - Full Japanese Explanation

Gundam Metaverse's Mellow is one of the numerous AI characters that Bandai Namco is creating as a part of its larger AI development project. On the same day, the company published a new press release that re-introduced its Play BY Live AI character project.

In June 2022, Bandai Namco Entertainment launched the Go Round Game channel which would feature three AI VTubers in total. Two of the characters, Yuha and Satori Neon, are currently under active operation by regularly streaming mahjong matches. The third AI VTuber, Miyako Popuri, will debut at a later date.

While a conventional VTuber would have a real human acting behind the Live2D avatar, these characters are completely AI-managed. They will react to game situations and stream comments while generating speeches with intonations that feel as close as possible to real humans. The latter press release also confirmed that the Gundam Metaverse's main interactive AI, Mellow Neige, will come from the same AI character technology that Bandai Namco has been working on.

Bandai Namco initially revealed the Gundam Metaverse project at the March 2022 Gundam Conference. It will create a hub where people can gather and talk about the franchise's anime, games, music, and plamodels. The Road to Gunpla Battle project, which aims to realize a scanning system for customized kits, is also part of the Metaverse project. The company will hold a closed test for the Gunpla section of the Gundam Metaverse within 2022.

The post Gundam Metaverse Will Feature Interactive AI Characters appeared first on Siliconera.
