Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Friday, April 7, 2023 2:30 PM  Last August, THQ Nordic and Slipgate Ironworks - the devs behind Ghostrunner and Graven - announced their new retro-inspired real-time strategy game Tempest Rising. It's an alternate history story about three factions who duke it out over a rare mineral, the titular Tempest, and we had previously seen two of them in a campaign walkthrough. The third faction is only available in the game's multiplayer modes, which the team have released footage of today. Catch the 20-minute 1v1 match below: |
Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Friday, April 7, 2023 2:00 PM  You might not know what Muv-Luv is. I hadn't even heard of it till a few years ago. Which is strange, since Muv-Luv is considered by many to be one of the most greatest visual novels of all time. What begins as a light-hearted slice-of-life high school romantic comedy eventually pulls the rug out from under the player, and transforms into a war epic featuring mechs and aliens with a much darker tone. In Muv-Luv's original Japanese release, this twist was hidden and only briefly hinted at in the marketing. Today both Muv-Luv games are easily available on Steam, marketed specifically with this twist, and where they sit fully-translated and with Overwhelmingly Positive reviews. iOS and Android ports are apparently in development, and other Muv-Luv spin-offs continue to get translated. But the first time anyone experienced a complete English language version of Muv-Luv was in July 2010, when a fan translation group called Amaterasu released a patch localising the first game. |

I could call it a 2D beat 'em up with your classic heavy/light attacks (actually punch/kick, but whatever), which is important to mention. It's also tempting to namedrop the things it reminded me of, like Hotline Miami, Beraltors, and a tiny hint of The Cat Lady, but that could get you picturing just about anything, and is unfairly reductive to a game that has the right to stand on its own. Pill Baby is, obviously, all those things. It's far better and more coherent than any of those descriptions would make it sound. |

Square Enix released a new Final Fantasy XIV Japanese promotional video featuring a male Viera as the chosen Warrior of Light. Under the title, "Let's start your adventure," the video focuses on the adventures in Eorzea of the character, along with his companions and the friends he makes on his journeys. While the video plays, the remix of the classic Final Fantasy main theme plays in the background. The video includes several captions in Japanese, with the first one being "This is where it started, my adventures and my companions'." This is set against a view of Limsa Lominsa as this Warrior of Light's starting place. Afterwards, several hashtags appear on screen. They translate to #DungeonChallenge and #Sastasha. During this and other dungeons, the male Viera Warrior of Light meets his FFXIV #FirstCompanions and they #BattleTogether. The video then shows the Viera enjoying himself in several locations of Eorzea, and it ends with the question "What adventure will you experience in this world?" You can check out the new FFXIV promotional video featuring the male Viera Warrior of Light below. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iHJhNpvuyho Male Vieras were not originally part of the game. They were only added to FFXIV alongside Endwalker, the latest expansion which released on November 23, 2021. Director and Producer Naoki Yoshida also commented back in 2021 that the team is planning to add female Hrothgar as a playable race sometime in the near future. Final Fantasy XIV is readily available for the PS4, PS5, and Windows PC. Patch 6.38 released on April 4, 2023, and the full patch notes are out now.

When Fire Emblem Engage launched, people may have wondered if the Four Hounds characters would become playable and, while most of them like Zephia aren't, their Four Winds counterparts like Zelestia are. Zelestia is even an especially unique situation, as she's a character with a unique class like the members of the royal family or dragons. Once someone recruits her, they might wonder what to do with their new unit. Well, here are some possible ideas for other classes, Emblem Rings, and skills that could work for Zelestia in Fire Emblem Engage after Fell Xenologue. Possible Zelestia Classes in Fire Emblem EngageI know I said this for Nel and her brother already, but there's really no need to change Zelestia's class. Melusine is unique to her and it is great. Soulblade is an amazing skill that's super well-suited to her, as Soulblade uses an enemy's Def and Res stats to determine her sword damage. Give her a good sword. Give her a Levin sword. Give her a fantastic tome or two. You're set. But if you do want to play around with other classes, Zelestia's stats make her an incredibly fast character with high speed growth. Her magic and strength base stats are about equal and have identical growth. Her luck and her build are her only failings, really. Everything else is pretty great, though her resistance is higher than her defense and has better growth rates. If you want her to be a physical attacker and want to switch classes, it might be fun turning her into a Wolf Knight or Wyvern Knight. Her speed will help her in both, and she does have good strength growth rates. She also makes a fantastic mage, though. So another possible path if you want to switch things up is to make her a Mage Knight (she can still use Levin Sword) or maybe even a Sage. Possible Zelestia Emblem Rings in Fire Emblem EngageWhen it comes to Emblem Rings for Zelestia in Fire Emblem Engage, it depends on if you want to focus on her dealing magical or physical damage. If you'd want to go with physical damage, it might be smart to pick Camilla or Eirika. With Camilla, you give her Decisive Strike to deal more damage after critical hits, inflict Dragon Vein effects, and unleash the Dark Inferno to spread fire. As for Eirika, her Lunar Brace could be great for dealing additional physical damage with Lunar Brace and increase her ability to avoid attacks. As for magical damage, I found Celica and Soren to be helpful for Zelestia. Celica increases her tome damage with Resonance, allows her to use Echo to attack with magic at 50% damage and then perform a second magical attack, and gives an already incredibly mobile unit Warp Ragnarok. Meanwhile, Soren gives her Flare to inflict -20% Res on foes and recover health when attacking with a tome and lets her inflict status effects when using different elemental magic with Anima Focus. Possible Zelestia Skills in Fire Emblem EngageHere are a few I've been considering and working toward teaching Zelestia with a physical build.
And here are some that might work for her if you're prioritizing her magical attacks.

Square Enix is continuing its new tradition of sharing Final Fantasy XVI fight footage on its official Twitter account, and the latest is a bout between Ifrit and Bahamut. Clive, as Ifrit, faces off against the Eikon. While it's only a brief clip, it offers a better look at how this rendition of Bahamut will look. The Final Fantasy XVI Clive and Bahamut footage already begins with the legendary Dragon King at a disadvantage. The Eikon's health is below half, while Clive, as Ifrit, is still almost at full health. The fight appears to be taking place in the air. Ifrit is in the midst of a combo as it all begins, which leads into a Fireball Burst attack and ends with a Backdraft Finish. Bahamut backs off after that, leading to the player having Ifrit use a Charged Shot to continue to deal ranged damage. There's also a Precision Dodge and Counter Shot to deal with Bahamut's ranged attacks. This leads into another Fireball Burst and Burst Finish combo. However the video ends with Bahamut dealing some damage to Ifrit with a Mortal Coil attack.
These sorts of clips are common social media additions at this point. In April 2023, Square Enix also showed Clive fighting Ifrit and a Salamander. Final Fantasy XVI will come to the PS5 on June 22, 2023. The post Ifrit Beats Up Bahamut in New Final Fantasy XVI Footage appeared first on Siliconera. |

Luis Serra joined the roster of The Mercenaries in the Resident Evil 4 remake. Previously, he was not one of the available characters players could unlock in the original game, and instead served a minor role in the story. In the Resident Evil 4 remake, players can actually play Luis Serra for the first time, and thankfully you can unlock him in The Mercenaries with relative ease. The only thing players need to do is to get an A rank on any stage in The Mercenaries as Leon S. Kennedy to unlock Luis. Given that everyone starts with Leon, he will be the first character you unlock regardless. In the remake version of Resident Evil 4, characters now have unique "super" abilities. These abilities can be accessed by killing enemies during the stage to fill up a bar that appears in the center of your screen. Once this is full, you can activate "Mayhem Mode." In Luis' case, he can lob dynamite at enemies while this is active in Resident Evil 4 remake. He is one of four playable characters in The Mercenaries, with the two other unlockable characters being Jack Krauser and HUNK. Players can unlock them in a similar fashion to Luis in Resident Evil 4 remake's The Mercenaries mode. The Resident Evil 4 remake is immediately available on the PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, PS4, and PS5. The Mercenaries mode is immediately available as free DLC.

When the 3.6 update rolls around, people will be able to get new Genshin Impact Genius Invokation TCG character cards for Ayato. Itto, and Tighnari. Head of that, HoYoVerse went over what to expect from each card. It went over each card's Normal Attack, Elemental Skill, and Elemental Burst. It also showed the Talent Cards that will be available for all three characters. First, here is the list of Ayato Character Card abilities.
Ayato's Kyouka Fuushi Talent Card can be equipped for three Hydro dice if you pull it. When used, he'll immediately perform his Elemental Skill. He'll also do one more damage to enemies who have over six health when he has the Takimeguri Kanka effect. So a normal attack would deal four damage instead of two. Next, here's the list of Itto's character card abilities in Genshin Impact Genius Invokation TCG.
Itto's Arataki Ichiban Talent Card requires one Geo die and two other dice of another element. When equipped, he uses Fight Club Legend and deals one extra damage if he uses Fight Club Legend more than once in a round and has Superlative Superstrength. Finally, here are the Tighnari Genshin Impact TCG character card skills.
His Keen Sight Talent Card requires four Dendro dice. He uses Vijnana-Phala Mine when you equip it, then his Charged Attacks cost one less unaligned die when he has the Vijnana Suffusion effect. Here are how all three of their character cards will look. Genshin Impact is available for the PS4, PS5, PC, and mobile devices and the 3.6 update arrives on April 12, 2023.

In response to a Twitter user noting that Microsoft blocked emulators in the Xbox store front, Azure Developer Alyanna McKenna has replied with an e-mail from the Xbox QA team. According to the official message, the main reason for the ban has to do with Nintendo. Though emulating itself is not illegal, players can emulate games "from consoles that are still under copyright protection without permission," which Nintendo is not happy about. The full e-mail is available on Alyanna McKenna's Twitter as an image. To summarize, aside from the legal issues with Nintendo, there is a security risk involved with emulators. Microsoft only banned emulators in retail mode. As for why Nintendo has issues with a Microsoft console, you could install Dolphin onto your Xbox Series X or One. Dolphin is a Wii and GameCube emulator. You will still be able to use emulators in dev mode. Since Microsoft considers it safe, it does not plan on changing this any time in the future. However, Microsoft is in the process of bringing "safe and legal" emulation onto the Xbox. More information on that will appear in the future.
While emulating is legal, there are some gray zones around it. Using emulators is fine, but downloading or uploading ROMs that you do not own are not. That would fall under pirating. When Nijisanji terminated VTuber Zaion LanZa, one of the reasons she broke her contract was because she "expressed her will to perform streams using illegal games," which could mean that she wanted to play emulated games using ROMs that she had downloaded from the Internet. Xbox is working on bringing "safe and legal" emulation onto the Xbox but until then, emulators are only on dev mode.

Added alongside Resident Evil 4 Remake's Mercenaries mode were several microtransaction options, including paid weapon upgrade tickets that can be used to fully upgrade a weapon. This bypasses having to use the limited tickets earned in game via sidequests or grinding out the upgrades with Pesetas.

[Thanks, Wario64!] The Resident Evil 4 Remake weapon upgrade tickets microtransactions are purchasable in packs of 1 for $2.99, 3 for $6.99, or 5 for $9.99. Each ticket allows you to fully upgrade a weapon of your choice for no in-game cost and access the weapon's exclusive upgrade, even without the required weapon level. Two tickets are earnable in game with Spinels, a currency gained through completing side quests. The first costs 30 Spinels, and the second costs 40 Spinels. Also available are the bonuses previously included in the Digital Deluxe Edition. These include the Treasure Map expansion, two sets of costumes for Ashely and Leon, two sets of a costume and a filter for Leon, a pair of sunglasses for Leon, and an "original version" soundtrack option. The two digital deluxe exclusive weapons, the Skull Shaker shotgun and Sentinel 9 pistol, are also available for purchase. These additions come alongside the free Mercenaries mode, an action focused score attack mode. Capcom also plans to support the game with patches to fix progress-blocking bugs.

Their YouTube channel's content will only remain online until April 30, 2023 before being deleted, and merchandise sales will end on April 30, 2023 as well. The official announcement cited "disagreement over the directions of the production" between the four remaining members of this generation and the company. Here's the official Production Kawaii announcement about the 3rd generation of its VTubers all graduating at once. It noted that this group, which initially consisted of five members and debuted on August 28, 2023, was only active for seven months. It also noted that people who took part in the Aletta and Sava donothon can request refunds. The announcement didn't disclose what disagreement between management and the VTubers resulted in the mass graduation.
All four of the performers shared farewell messages on Twitter. Here's one from Aletta Sky.
Here is Miryu Kotofuji's final message.

Chandelure, as well as the option to challenge Cynthia to a battle, will appear in Pokemon Unite in late April 2023. As part of Battle Season 15, you will also be able to get Ayakashi Style versions of Talonflame and Zoroark. You can also give Japanese-themed outfits for your trainers to wear.

[Thanks, Gamer!] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nfEh8J1KtwA& More information on how Chandelure will play in Pokemon Unite will come out later. In mainline Pokemon games, Chandelure is the final form of the Litwick evolution line, and is a dual Ghost/Fire Type. It previously appeared in Pokken Tournament as well as a playable fighter.

PC Invasion - FeedDDD Friday, April 7, 2023 5:13 PM  The Chapter 4 Season 2 Battle Pass for Fortnite adds a fresh group of player skins to the game, and the Highwire skin is a popular one players want to know how to get.

PC Invasion - FeedDDD Friday, April 7, 2023 4:49 PM  One of the main objectives in Terra Nil by Devolver is the discovery of the returning fauna and flora. As you terraform the land into new usable territory, plants and animals will return to the luscious pastures and tundra. A few of these animals are easier to find than others, a number need some landscaping to achieve; the eagle being one of these. Knowing how to discover eagles in Terra Nil will help you get that one step closer to 100% completion. How to Discover the Eagle in Terra Nil There are a few little parameters to meet before finding the eagle in Terra Nil. The first of which is being within the Continental Biome. This biome requires the completion of the previous three areas before unlocking. This sunken city is home to the final stages of the game. Mines, satellites, and other gadgets become available. The second requirement is to have found boar in the biome. These grunty little piggies require 8 greenery tiles and 12 deciduous tiles to be happy. Once you have found these... |

PC Invasion - FeedDDD Friday, April 7, 2023 4:10 PM  With an impressively high 42% of players currently with the Minecraft Rocks! achievement, there are definitely harder goals to go for. The Issue with being able to unlock the Minecraft Rocks! achievement in Terra Nil is that it comes with no description. It is quite simple to get and will be in most people's regular playthrough, but it does take a little know-how. What to have before you unlock Minecraft Rocks This is a throwback to the hit game Minecraft and requires you to be on a map with lava, water, and snow. Anyone who has played Minecraft will know all about how obsidian is formed by rapidly cooling flowing lava, allowing the player to mine a much better material. That's pretty much what you're trying to do here. It is important to attempt this goal on a map that has lava flow and water available. If you have loaded in and the map doesn't have the right layout, it is worth simply reloading it. This will help to unlock the Minecraft Rocks! Achievement in Terra Nil. Sc... |
