     Tower of Fantasy global and CN versions will be the same but different

The Tower of Fantasy global version has been playing catch-up with its Chinese counterpart since its release, and international players have been using the latter as a touchstone to predict upcoming content. However, the global version's accelerated content output means it's rapidly catching up, and the question remains: how closely can we expect these two separate versions of Hotta Studio's anime game to run?

     Is there Gotham Knights crossplay?

Want to know if there is Gotham Knights crossplay? As a brand new Batman-themed co-op game, chances are you're looking forward to playing this adventure alongside a trusted sidekick. If that's the case, you may want answers on whether or not multiplayer is possible because you're on a different platform than your friends.

More games in recent years have bridged the device gap, allowing anyone to play with everyone. However, just because a game has a multiplayer mode doesn't mean that Gotham Knights crossplay will be there. Sometimes there are good reasons for this, as getting these machines to talk to each other can be too tricky.

     Gotham Knights fast travel locations and how to unlock it

Want to know how to unlock Gotham Knights fast travel? If there's one big criticism in the early moments of the latest DC superhero game, it's that travelling across the map takes forever. So whether you are speeding down the highway on the Batcycle, zipping between rooftops with your grappling hook, or using the first Knighthood skill to soar through the sky, the harsh reality is that it takes several minutes to get to your destination.

In our experience, it took until Night 6 to unlock Gotham Knights fast travel, which just so happened after beating the second part of the Harley Quinn case file, when a message came through from Lucius Fox. He was one of Batman's trusted confidants, and he now wishes to meet you on the rooftop of the Foxteca headquarters. As it turns out, he didn't just want to send his condolences; he also has a glider he wants to give you. Unfortunately, the GCPD has sent drones to interfere with any unauthorised aircraft flying over Gotham City. So you'll need to hack them before using Fast Travel.

Want to know how long Gotham Knights is? With Batman out of the picture, it's up to you to save Gotham from all the criminal scum in this open world game. Unfortunately, as you step out of the Belfry, you're greeted with an intimidating list of icons, so it's easy to get sidetracked from the main mission list

As you progress through the campaign, new icons and missions will appear on the map. You may soon be asking just how long Gotham Knights is, as it throws an endless barrage of tasks at you, with every rest of the Belfry replenishing the amount of crime going on in the city. To keep you on track, here is everything you need to know about missions in Gotham Knights.

     How to fuse rare and epic Gotham Knights mods

If you're looking for ways to fuse Gotham Knights mods, chances are that you have seen the option to mash several mods together to make a better one. The open world game has enemies that get tougher as you level up, and equipping mods onto your weapons and armour is vital to keep up with this pace.

You need four Gotham Knights mods of any kind if you want to fuse them, and doing so is, more often than not, beneficial. This is because the resulting mod is generally of a higher rarity than the ones you put in, but the catch is that you can only get better-quality mods if you use effective combinations.

     Where to find Gotham Knights street art locations

Gotham Knights street art is everywhere in Gotham City, but to find this graffiti, you need a keen eye. Robin requests that you seek out these works and scan them as part of his arts class project. The good news is that all of the Gotham Knights street art that Robin is looking for are massive murals that completely cover the wall that the artist sprayed on. Since there are only 12 murals to find, this is significantly easier than trying to find all of the Gotham City Batarangs or read the plaques for all the Gotham City landmarks.

To save you some time, we've put together a list of all of the Gotham Knights street art locations you can find in the open world game. Should you ever lose track of which graffiti murals you've found, head to the AR map and check the summary in the bottom right corner for each district. If there is a tick on the spray can icon, you've found all the graffiti worth scanning.

Are you looking for the Gotham Knights landmarks? To confirm that you have seen one of the many landmarks in this open world game, you need to read its corresponding plaque. Luckily, all of them are at ground level, and you just need to interact with them to register their entry in the database.

Of course, there are other collectibles outside of the 40 Gotham Knights landmarks. The Gotham Knights Batarangs are perhaps more annoying than the landmarks to track down as they can be anywhere. There are also 12 Gotham Knights street art murals to find, and they're a lot easier. But with that in mind, here are all of the Gotham Knights landmarks.

Finding all the Gotham Knights Batarangs is a tall order. As one of the many collectibles hidden in the open world game, completing each of the Batarang Retrieval challenges requires searching the streets and even the rooftops of Gotham City to gather Batman's favourite throwing weapon.

You'll need a keen eye to spot even one of the many Gotham Knights Batarangs, as they're tiny and usually blend in with the environment. Luckily for you, their locations are split among five different regions, each with 12 Batarangs to find for a total of 60, and they emit a colourful purple glow if you're far away to make them easier to spot. Here are all of the Batarang locations we've found.

     Modern Warfare 2 Specs Ops mission list

If you're looking for the Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 Spec Ops mission list, you've come to the right place. Fans of 2019's Modern Warfare will be pleased to discover that the Modern Warfare 2 Spec Ops mode is making a welcome return – albeit with a slightly different structure, opting for an army of two instead of four. Nevertheless, its core tenets remain the same: a co-operative experience that blends narrative and teamwork.

Infinity Ward has confirmed we can expect three Modern Warfare 2 Specs Ops missions at launch, though we can expect an expansion of this list in future content updates, including Modern Warfare 2 DLC. All of the missions featured take place in Al Mazrah, though we don't doubt that there's scope to expand the Modern Warfare 2 maps and scenarios available. That said, here's the complete list of Modern Warfare 2 Spec Ops missions so far.

Valorant's icy tundra Icebox is Viper's home turf because of the lineups on offer.

Her smoke is equally powerful for not just blocking off the attackers but protecting the planted spike. So when four attackers die picking up unnecessary duels, Viper and her Snake Bite remain the last hope.

And neither of them, strictly speaking, are horror games. So how does Hell Is Others, which just launched on Steam, combine all of these elements?

It's now due for release on October 28th, and during this evening's Resident Evil Showcase developers Capcom announced an early access beta for the game that will start on Monday, October 24th.

About three years after I graduated, I returned to the city where I went to University. Immediately after arriving, I embarked on an early-evening pilgrimage of sorts, my only goal to wander once familiar paths in an attempt to capture a spark of the life I no longer lived. As I ambled past houses that used to be homes, local haunts and darkened lecture halls, it was the differences that stood out the most. Pubs with names I didn't recognise. Shops in locations that were more convenient than the ones I used to rely upon. Huge buildings that had seemingly sprung out of deserted scrubland. The city felt intimate yet alien. I was both a stranger and a local, a foreigner in a place I'd once adored.

I was thinking about this experience a lot when I was invited to play a short hands-on demo of Capcom's upcoming Resident Evil 4 remake. Here is a remake of my favourite game ever made, a title I have replayed countless times in the 17 years since its original debut, and all I can do is think about the little things. Tiny alterations that feel much larger when surrounded by something so immediately recognisable. This was the same Resident Evil 4 I've always known, but one that feels bigger, better and more dynamic. I left my session excited to play more, cautiously optimistic that Capcom may be in the process of crafting their best remake to date.

Resident Evil 4 Remake

Capcom showed off new footage of its Resident Evil 4 Remake during its Resident Evil Showcase stream on October 20, 2022. It also confirmed that the game is headed to PS4, PC, and Xbox Series X|S consoles. Previously the game was only confirmed for release on PS5, PC, and Xbox Series X. Owners of the PS4 version will be able to upgrade to the PS5 version for free.

The new gameplay footage showed off Leon going through some of the earliest portions of the game, such as exploring the first abandoned house and entering the Ganados' village. Now-iconic encounters like fighting the Chainsaw Ganado have new twists, like environmental destruction, and Leon parrying the chainsaw with his combat knife. Some scenes that were simple dialog exchanges before are reframed and shot as cinematic cutscenes in the remake. Lighting overall is also quite different. Encounters that took place in broad daylight before now happen at night or in the driving rain. Glimpses of redesigned characters like Ada Wong and Ashley Graham were also seen.

Check it out on the stream archive. The Resident Evil 4 Remake portion kicks off at the 43-minute mark.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9e_U2Uz_hr8

The presentation also showed off crafting gameplay, attaché case inventory management, and interactions with the Merchant. Leon can buy weapons from him like before, as well as tune them up with upgrades. A trading system that allows Leon to trade collectible "rare gems" for special items will be present in the remake.

The Resident Evil 4 remake will also have a Deluxe and Collector's Edition package for those who are interested. The Deluxe Edition includes four cosmetic skins for Leon and two for Ashley, as well as a sunglasses (sporty) accessory. There are also special "Hero" and "Villain" visual filters to change the look of the game. The Deluxe package also adds two "deluxe weapons" (A special Sentinel Nine pistol and Skull Shaker shotgun). A "Treasure Map Expansion" also adds additional treasures. Finally, the Deluxe Edition lets players swap to the original version of the soundtrack for additional nostalgia. The Collector's Edition package includes the Deluxe Edition content, a digital soundtrack, and physical goods like a Steelbook case, a map poster, special box, art book, and a figure of Leon holding a shotgun.

[gallery ids="937654,937655,937656" link="file"]

Pre-orders of the game also get additional goodies, like a Gold Attaché Case skin and decorative charms for it. Pre-orders of the Deluxe and Collector's Edition packs get one more charm and the "Classic" Attaché Case skin. PSN Store pre-orders also unlock a digital mini-soundtrack.

The Resident Evil 4 Remake launches on PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC on March 24, 2023.

Final Fantasy XVI Ambition Trailer

Square Enix has released a new trailer for the upcoming Final Fantasy XVI. The trailer, titled "Ambition," delves into the game's story and even shows off a bit of gameplay. Specifically, several short glimpses of battles are shown, both those involving Clive's party and those between Eikons. Check out the four-and-a-half-minute-long trailer at this link.

The new Final Fantasy XVI trailer reveals that the land of Valisthea has been slowly dying for the past fifteen hundred years. The light of the Mothercrystals, which bless the land, has been fading. In order to hold on to their blessings, the trailer suggests, the realms of Valistheathe Grand Duchy of Rosaria, the Holy Empire of Sanbreque, the Dhalmekian Republic, the Iron Kingdom, and the Kingdom of Waloedare prepared for war. Sanbreque even goes so far as to invade Rosaria, with the mysterious Dominant of Ifrit summoning their Eikon during the attack.

Much like in the previous trailer, several Eikons are shown, including Odin and Bahamut. This trailer, however, reveals that the Dominants can also perform partial summonings of their Eikons, utilizing their powers while staying mostly humanlike. Joshua Rosfield, Hugo Kupka, and Benedikta Harman are shown performing partial transformations into Phoenix, Titan, and Garuda, respectively, with the latter two using those forms to fight against Clive. At the end of the trailer, a tapestry depicting the Eikons is seen, and the narrator warns of "a war of the Eikons."

Final Fantasy XVI will release for the PlayStation 5 in Summer 2023.

Sonic Frontiers Audi R8 car to be sold in Japan

An Audi car with Sonic Frontiers livery will appear in Japan. Sega and Audi have revealed a special model of the Audi R8 Coupe V10 performance 5.2FSI quattro S tronic with its exterior design modeled after the upcoming Sonic game. Audi will sell the one-off car in Japan in late 2022. [Thanks, 4Gamer!]

Hitotsuyama Racing, the racing team known for fielding an Audi car in the GT300 class of Super GT, created this Sonic Frontiers livery design. The livery will have a unique number of 11.8, which signifies the game's release date of November 8, 2022.

Audi has been selling the original car model at around 32,330,000 yen, or approximately $215,800. The brand's Japanese dealer will reveal the pricing for the one-off Sonic Frontiers R8 in November 2022.

The Japanese promotional stand for Sonic Frontiers in the showroom only lists the Switch, PS5, and PS4. This is because Sega will only release physical editions of the game on those platforms in Japan.

Contrary to the Western releases, the Japanese and Asian PlayStation and Switch versions will only contain Japanese and English voiceovers, with additional subtitles in Korean, Traditional Chinese, and Simplified Chinese. The Xbox and PC versions will have a universal build that includes all languages, but those releases will only be available digitally in Japan.

Sega has been doing many collaborations to promote Sonic Frontiers. Earlier in October 2022, it announced a collaboration with Capcom's Monster Hunter series. A free DLC pack scheduled to arrive on November 14, 2022, will add a steak-cooking mini-game and Rathalos armor sets for Sonic.

This is not the first time Sega has launched an automotive collaboration. In late 2021, it created a one-off PC that can also double as an RC car with a maximum speed of 100 km/h (~62 mph). The company handed over the peculiar PC along with 23 Steam game keys to a sweepstake winner in Japan.

Sonic Frontiers will release for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, Xbox Series X, Xbox One, and PC on November 8, 2022.

     Resident Evil 4 Remake Gameplay TrailerDuring a showcase today, Capcom at last presented some much-desired gameplay footage for the upcoming Resident Evil 4 remake. For the most part, the game certainly evokes memories of the 2004 survival horror classic. But, as expected, there are some very clear changes (and not just graphically). The remake is putting on a much more serious air and, while still campy, it's not quite as campy as the original. At least, not from what we see in the new trailers. That's not to say the Resident Evil 4 remake is devoid of precious camp in its gameplay trailer. Oh no. In the pivotal early scene in the game, where Leon is being chased by furious Ganados, he does belt out a one-liner or two. "Bill me for the repairs later," he yells to no one in particular after lighting a poor cow on fire by shooting an overhead lightbulb. Some of the cheesier lines are also heard in an accompanying story trailer. I guess we'll know how well the original's goofy charm meshe...

If he's within melee range, then his attack animation instantly kills Amicia. To take him out, you'll want to use the environment to your advantage. Keep running aro...

     Vampire Survivors today library numbers chaosThe date has arrived at last. After a series of eventful months filled with updates, teases, and release date announcements, the full 1.0 version of Vampire Survivors has finally, definitively, without any caveats, arrived today. Those who have eagerly awaited the 1.0 version will no doubt want to jump in straight away, but of course, developer poncle has prepared a list of patch notes for those wanting to learn more. Unlike previous patch notes, this one stretches on for quite a while, which only makes sense considering the significance of this update. Many of the features highlighted in the patch notes, such as the Inverse and Endless Modes, have already received a mention in the previously released "advent calendar" updates. A few new features that we haven't yet covered include additional skins for five playable characters, a new weapon, an extra event stage, new "Side B" music tracks, and support for 11 extra languages. Additionally, the patch notes ...

     Silent Hill 2 FeatureIt's been a long time since the internet has spoken about Konami developing something Silent Hill-related (let alone new projects). The news from the Silent Hill Transmission sent plenty of onlookers into a tizzy, wondering what new and long-rumored things would come to fruition during the promised video presentation. The fog has now since cleared, leaving us with a remake of Silent Hill 2 among other goodies. The remake's Steam page is now live, revealing the PC requirements needed to bask in all its psychological horror glory. As we delve further into the era of more powerful consoles, games coming to the PC have generally kept pace with the hardware needed to offer similar visual and graphical experiences. This was the case recently with the upcoming launch of Sackboy: A Big Adventure. Both the Silent Hill 2 remake and Sackboy will launch on PC and PlayStation 5, and the hardware demand is a bit daunting to say the least.   Hardware fueled horror At the least, most ...
