     One of the best Doom mods ever is getting a full remaster in UE5

Back in 2018, a Doom 2 total conversion mod called Total Chaos came out and immediately became one of the most eye catching of the many, many great games to come from the classic shooter's mod scene. Created by a designer working under the wonderful handle WadaHolic, Total Chaos features an ominous atmosphere and a hardscrabble combat system that emphasizes scavenging and crafting weapons in order to survive against vicious enemies. In the time since it launched, its maker has gone on to put out acclaimed throwback shooter Turbo Overkiller as Trigger Happy Interactive and, notably, been hard at work on a standalone Unreal Engine 5 version of Total Chaos.

     Garry's Mod to remove 20 years of Nintendo user generated content

There are some games that are so interwoven with the fabric of Steam that it's hard to imagine the platform without them. Garry's Mod is one, an anything-goes sandbox that's formed the backbone of the Steam Workshop from its inception. Famously a hodge-podge made up of various pieces of user generated content, its developer is now working to remove 20 years of Nintendo items from its workshop.

     One of the best horror games ever made is less than $10 right now

A decade ago, in 2014, Creative Assembly put out one of the best horror games ever made. Though the studio is known largely for its work on strategy games like the historical Total War: Pharaoh and Total War: Three Kingdoms alongside the fantasy themed Total War: Warhammer 3, its first stab at a first person horror game, Alien: Isolation, ended up as a landmark for the genre. Now, anyone who's eager to have their nerves shredded in a game of cat and mouse with a bloodthirsty xenomorph is in luck as Alien: Isolation has just received a steep discount on Steam.

If there was ever a game that had an overwhelming amount of ambition infused throughout it but needed a little more work, it was last year's Lords of the Fallen. Its twin-world structure absolutely dripped with potential but some design choices and a host of performance issues led it away from the light, leaving it suffering since launch with its Steam reviews muddling around the mixed mark.

     ESO players to get compensation due to lengthy locked account issues

Games are messy things and games that are the size of MMOs like The Elder Scrolls Online tend to be extremely complicated to keep running smoothly. Tinkering with one part of the game can have unexpected effects in a completely separate area, causing problems that no-one can predict. One unexpected issue that's recently cropped up around access to ESO's test server has seen a raft of players locked out of their accounts for over a week, with compensation incoming for those affected.

Metaphor: ReFantazio Will Have 7 Party Members

The upcoming Atlus RPG Metaphor: ReFantazio will reportedly include a total of 7 party members. A maximum of 4 playable characters can be in the party at once. [Thanks, ryokutya2089!]

In an upcoming Famitsu interview with Metaphor: ReFantazio Director Katsura Hashino confirmed the total number of party members. The new party members will join the group as the story progresses. The playable characters confirmed so far include the protagonist, Strohl, Hulkenberg, and Heismay.

The fae Gallica is featured in the main menu as a party member, but she won't be playable. She will instead act as a support character offering navigation. It is unclear if Atlus counts Gallica as one of the 7 total party members. Depending on whether she is included as one of the party members or not, this means that there are either 2 or 3 unconfirmed party members in Metaphor: ReFantazio.

As a reminder, Atlus recently confirmed that Metaphor: ReFantazio will not feature romantic relationships as part of the new Bonds system. A recent global showcase of the game featured over 30 minutes of gameplay introducing new elements.

Metaphor: ReFantazio will come out worldwide on October 11, 2024 for the PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X, and PC via Steam. Pre-orders for the game are now open.

houshou marine vaultroom

Vaultroom will release new merchandise of Houshou Marine of Hololive. However, as of the time of writing, the site does not show anything, so it's unknown what you'll be able to purchase.

The Vaultroom Twitter (X) account has a short trailer promoting its Houshou Marine merchandise. It starts with Marine popping out from a window before she transforms into a skeletal dread pirate. She faces off against the Vaultroom mascot and once the mascot defeats her, they pose together before the video ends.

You can watch the trailer here:

https://twitter.com/room_vault/status/1783089786401833245

Vaultroom usually sells clothing like utility pants and crewneck shirts. So it will probably release clothes that feature Marine's design or symbols. This is what Vaultroom did with previous collaborations as well, including one with Final Fantasy VII Rebirth.

Houshou Marine is a member of the third generation of Hololive. Other personalities who debuted alongside her include Usada Pekora, Shirogane Noel, and Shiranui Flare. She is one of the most-subscribed VTubers in Japan, with over 3.13 million subscribers as of the time of writing.

Vaultroom will release clothing featuring Houshou Marine of Hololive from April 26, 2024. As a note, Vaultroom does not naturally offer international shipping. Those living overseas might need to employ a proxy service to purchase things.

Developer Shift Up is reportedly considering a NIKKE crossover collaboration with Stellar Blade, the studio's latest action RPG. NIKKE Director Yoo Hyung-seok said that the relationship between both teams is very positive and they respect each other's work. [Thanks, ryokutya2089!]

Beat Performer Is the New Blue Protocol Class

Bandai Namco added the new Beat Performer playable class to Blue Protocol in the Version 1.05.000 update for the action MMORPG. Beat Performer is a long-range guitar-wielding class focused on playing various melodies that provide support to allies, such as healing and buffs.

Aside from attacking and offering support directly with their weapons, Beat Performers can deploy Amps in the field that replicate their attacks and abilities in a set AoE. The Heat Gauge mechanic is unique to the Beat Performer. The gauge increases when fulfilling certain conditions, like landing skills through an Amp. When the gauge is filled, players can enter a High Spirits state which enhances attacks and skills.

To celebrate the inclusion of the new class, Blue Protocol will offer a new campaign including login bonuses, additional quests, and gifts for new and returning players. The new campaign will last until May 22, 2024. The campaign login bonuses can be obtained in a period of up to 15 days, while the newcomer and returning player bonuses can be claimed once per day for up to 10 days.

You can check out a short 50-second teaser trailer showcasing what the Beat Performer class can do in Blue Protocol here:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bniQgB_4Imw

The new Beat Performer class was originally teased back in late January 2024, with developers Bandai Namco showing the silhouette of a fighter carrying a guitar. The last class added to Blue Protocol was Blitz Lancer, which was implemented on August 2023.

Blue Protocol is now available for PS5, Xbox Series X, and Windows PC in Japan. The game launched for consoles in Japan on December 2023, and its worldwide release is expected to happen sometime in 2024.

     Sand Land Featured ImageOther than the first few seasons of Pokémon, Yu-Gi-Oh, and Digimon, my experience with anime has been limited, to say the least. However, if there is a series that has defined entire generations all over Latin America and the world, that is Dragon Ball. And even if I haven't seen the anime franchise itself, I grew up trying to make a Kamehameha, the Genki-Dama, and even fantasize about collecting the seven Dragon Balls. But if there is a name – other than Goku – that transcended the anime and its characters, well, that is, of course, Akira Toriyama. Sand Land was released in 2000 as a manga series, and 22 years later, Bandai Namco started the Sand Land Project which saw a film, an ONA (original net animation) series, and now, a video game adaptation. And while all the promotional material gave me a sense of familiarity given Toriyama's style, I was fearful that I wouldn't connect with all the lore and characters of the franchise due to my lack of previous manga and anime ...
