     Phantom Fury evokes Duke Nukem and Half-Life in a road movie FPS game

3D Realms has unveiled a Phantom Fury reveal trailer showcasing its Ion Fury sequel, a classic FPS game that looks to pull inspiration from the likes of Half-Life and the original Duke Nukem Forever reveal to craft a bombastic 'road movie FPS' adventure. Featuring the work of ex-Valve Half-Life concept artist Chuck Jones, who was brought in by 3D Realms to work on the project, Phantom Fury wears its love of classic PC games on its sleeve.

Phantom Fury sees protagonist Shelly 'Bombshell' Harrison pulled out of a coma and set on a journey across the United States in search of a dangerous artifact known as the Demon Core. Oh, we should mention that she now has a bionic arm too - because why not? Developer Slipgate Ironworks, led by former Rise of the Triad director Frederik Schreiber, promises "an incredible amount of interactivity" in the world, from fully usable computers and playable arcade machines to helicopter flights.

With over 20 weapons at your disposal, including returning favourites such as the hand-rolled Bowling Bombs and newcomers including "electrified foam shooting devices and eployable drones" should provide a ton of unique ways to approach situations. Plenty of unlockable skills and upgrades promise even more ways to customise your playstyle too - and you'll need it to go up against the weird and wonderful horrors that await you.

     Diablo Immortal warbands changing with RPG's next patch, says Blizzard

Diablo Immortal warbands changes are on the way, says the fantasy game's lead designer Wyatt Cheng of Blizzard in an update discussing the multiplayer group system. Diablo Immortal warbands have been a point of much controversy among the playerbase. Frustrated by the necessity of having all eight members of your warband online simultaneously for certain activities in the RPG game, many players have called for the system to instead be integrated into clans.

Diablo Immortal lead designer Wyatt Cheng addresses player feedback in a post on the game's subreddit. He notes four major concerns with warbands - the requirement to use them for certain aspects of play, the eight-player requirement, the value of warband rewards, and the gameplay experience offered by warband activities - and takes time to address each point individually.

First on the table is the requirement for warbands in certain activities that can interfere with progress in other areas of the game. Cheng admits that "if you aren't participating in warbands it can be frustrating to find other systems that require participation in order to continue." These include areas such as the Codex and the Hero's Journey - both of which previously had steps where warbands are required. Cheng notes that some steps have already been taken to address this, and the issue is still being monitored.

Here we are, the final weekend of summer! I feel I wasted this summer a bit and as much as I do like autumn, I really am not ready for the winter which will follow. Why do I always let my holiday days slide down and clump at the end of the year. Better make the most of comfortable swimming and cycling while I still can.

We're away on Monday so we'll see you again on Tuesday. Until then, what are you playing this weekend? Here's what we're clicking on!

Zenless Zone Zero gameplay

Genshin Impact developer HoYoVerse showed off more from its latest project, Zenless Zone Zero, during its TGS 2022 Special Program livestream. The game last received a trailer to promote the beginning of its closed "Tuning Test" period. This latest Zenless Zone Zero gameplay trailer is the longest one yet, clocking in at over 18 minutes of story, combat, and exploration in the world of New Eridu.

Check it out below. English subtitles are available via the closed captions.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BhqWpnpO6NA

The Zenless Zone Zero gameplay trailer opens with Wise (voiced Atsushi Abe) and Belle (voiced by Sayaka Sembongi) bringing home some stock for their video store, Random Play. Random Play is also a cover business for their job as Proxies, people who enter the dangerous areas known as the Hollows. Meeting a customer outside the shop, Wise forgoes taking the job to chase down Belle, meeting with the owners of neighboring shops, and petting a nearby cat. Wise picks up some ramen from General Chop's stall (complete with an elaborate prep animation), and runs into a police blockade sealing off an area threatened by the Hollow. Thwarted, Wise consults Fairy, a management system, to contact assistance. Cut to the Cunning Hares, a group of Proxies consisting of Anby, Billy, and Nicole.

The scene transitions to the Hollow zone, showcasing Zenless Zone Zero combat gameplay. The system appears to be outwardly similar to that used by Honkai Impact 3rd, with an emphasis on three-character teams fighting in relatively closed arenas, rapid character-switching, and flashy combos. The button prompts match an Xbox controller's, though only PC and mobile platforms are confirmed for the game at this time. Though Cunning Hares clears the area, Belle is nowhere to be found. More investigation narrows her location, and another Proxy team is called in: Belobog Heavy Industries. Made up of Ben, Anton, and Koleda, the Belobog trio fight a large boss made out of a construction robot. Belle is saved once the boss is dispatched.

Zenless Zone Zero is in development, without a firm release window at this time. It's headed for PC and mobile devices.

Samurai Maiden TGS trailer

In its zeal to promote Samurai Maiden at TGS, D3Publisher opted to give people a history lesson. The latest trailer for the game contextualizes the adventures of modern schoolgirl Tsumugi Tamaori in the real true history of Japan.

Check it out below.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fOhhgSPY5IM

The new Samurai Maiden TGS trailer has Tsumugi hold forth on the reality behind Samurai, Ninja, life in the Sengoku era, and the relative cuteness of medieval Japanese warlords. The trailer also shows plenty of gameplay, as Tsumugi and her ninja pals caper around the battlefield. There they chop through hordes of historically accurate zombies, skeletons, and clockwork automatons to destroy the demon king. To do so they'll gain new power from affectionate intimacy, using the natural bond between ninja and samurai to unleash their true potential.

Samurai Maiden will also contain historically accurate depictions of the cutest warlords of Japan's warring states. The trailer introduces two of them. Her command of the war fan, prodigious strength, and unstoppable cavalry, Shingen Takeda was known as the (palmtop) Tiger of Kai. Meanwhile, the Dragon of Echigo wowed all comers with her inimitable martial prowess. Finally, the documentary recapped the famed incident at Honnoji, when in 1582 the famed warlord Nobunaga Oda was brought low. He got better, though, and devoted his energy to  defeating the demon lord below the burning temple.

Samurai Maiden 4

Samurai Maiden launches on December 1, 2022 for PS4, PS5, and Nintendo Switch in Japan. It'll launch outside Japan and on PC everywhere on December 8, 2022. Pre-orders will net the above "Gal-type School Uniform" cosmetic skin for Tsumugi.

HoYoVerse showcased Honkai Star Rail, its new game, during its 2022 Tokyo Game Show livestream event. The Honkai Star Rail TGS demo showcased story moments from the opening of the game, including selecting the protagonist's gender. Combat, exploration, and more were also shown.

Though it shares a brand name with Honkai Impact 3rd, Star Rail isn't directly connected to that game. That said, it shares a multiversal connection of sorts, featuring characters with familiar names and faces, but who aren't the same ones seen in Honkai Impact - unless they are, such as in the case of the character Welt, whom HoYoVerse confirmed is the same character Honkai Impact players know. Characters like March 7th, Dan Heng, and others have also been introduced.

The new Honkai Star Rail TGS demo, which included scenes and footage seen in other trailers, saw the player in control of Bronya (another character with a familiar name and look) exploring her home planet. She walked around and interacted with NPCs in a fashion similar to Genshin Impact. The footage also included shots of the game's turn-based combat system. The combat section of the demo also showed off character ultimate attacks. HoYoVerse launched a gallery to showcase the animations on its community site. Button prompts were from a PlayStation controller, which suggests that console versions may be in the works, though HoYoVerse has not officially announced platforms other than PC and mobile.

Check out some captures from the Honkai Star Rail TGS 2022 stream in the gallery. Some of the initial cutscene can be viewed at this link.

Honkai Star Rail is in development for PC and mobile devices. It does not have a release date, but has gone through at least two closed beta phases at the time of this writing. Check out Jenni's impressions of the game from the May 2022 round of testing.

dragon ball breakers beta farmer buu

Sweets lovers, ready your Scouter, as Majin Buu and the Farmer will make their appearances in Dragon Ball: The Breakers. Buu will appear as a Raider while the Farmer is a Survivor. As well, Bandai Namco will be holding an open beta for Dragon Ball: The Breakers from September 21 to September 25, 2022. Eligible platforms are the PS4, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, and Windows PC (through Steam).

While the notice says that more information on the open beta is on the website for Dragon Ball: The Breakers, it is not there as of the time of writing. However, since it is an open beta, there will likely not be any strict requirements in order to participate. It will run from September 21 (6:00 PM) to September 25, 2022 (1:00 AM) PST.

You can watch the trailer for Majin Buu and the Farmer as they will appear in Dragon Ball: The Breakers here:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7B6Pbb3CMmw

Buu can transform through his different forms, with each form likely having different skills or specs. It is a bit more unclear what the Farmer can do. But in the trailer, you can see him plow the Earth with other Survivors, and he is holding onto a shotgun.

Dragon Ball: The Breakers will be a departure from most other Dragon Ball games as an asymmetric online co-op game in the vein of Dead by Daylight or Identity V. The story follows citizens in a Temporal Seam, along with a Raider from another timeline. They must use the Super Time Machine to escape the Temporal Seam while avoiding the Raider, who can grow stronger as time passes.

Dragon Ball: The Breakers will come out on October 14, 2022 for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and Windows PC.

disgaea 7 header

NIS has revealed some more about Disgaea 7, the latest entry in the franchise. A recent update to the game's official site and details covered in the Sega/Atlus TGS 2022 broadcast unveiled new info regarding new systems, classes, and characters.

The game takes place in a setting more explicitly stylized after the Japan, the "Hinomoto Netherworld", where various unique Netherworldly dimensions are grouped together (such as a Hot Spring Netherworld and a Sardine Netherworld). But Hinomoto has changed. The arrival of the Demon Admiral Opener and his army has left the Hinomoto without its "Bushido". Fuji, a lone warrior who hates Bushido, and Piririka, a Bushido nerd, must fight together to unite the Seven Original Blades and restore pride to the land.

In addition to the ten Disgaea character classes detailed, two more were added: the female Maiko and the male Thief.

The Maiko class of characters can charm opponents, as well as deal extra damage to male units. As for the Thief, he plays similar to the existing female version. He can steal treasure, as well as find rare items from chests.

[gallery columns="2" ids="935870,935871" link="file"]

The Item Reincarnation system will be new for Disgaea 7. There are no limits to what items you can Reincarnate. For example, you can turn a healing item into a sword. You can also move weapon-exclusive skills to new types. You could Reincarnate a sword from a spear and let it keep a spear move. Like with how the Reincarnation system works for characters, the more times you Reincarnate, the stronger the item becomes.

The second new system for Disgaea 7 is Dodeka Max. Characters become so big that they literally cannot fit on the map. Their range will extend to the entire map. As well, because their attack becomes an AoE move, they can hit multiple enemies with a normal attack. You will only be able to open giant treasure chests with a Dodeka Max character.

Each character will have a field effect called "Dobility." While the character is in Dodeka Max mode, all of the characters on the field will be able to use this passive Dobility. Some Dobilities include "Heal HP by 20% at the end of each turn" or "Increase DMG by 20%." There can be four Dodeka Maxed characters on the field at once.

[gallery link="file" ids="935877,935876,935875"]

While not a new system, Disgaea 7 will implement ranked matches for the first time. It will not be a live, simultaneous PvP system, though. Instead, it's asymmetrical. You will create a team and set the various AI behaviors for the characters, and then others can challenge you when they want to. Stages and rules will change after a set period of time. For instance, there may be a period where you can only put male characters in your ranked party. You will get points based on how well you do, and you can spend those points in the Rank Shop.

[gallery columns="2" ids="935874,935873" link="file"]

Disgaea 7 will come out on January 26, 2023 in Japan on the PS4, PS5, and Nintendo Switch. Global release plans have not yet been announced. Those at TGS 2022 right now can play a demo of Disgaea 7 at Sega's booth.

     Incision Worth It 1When it comes to throwback FPS games made by a single person, the bar is surprisingly high. Mostly because of the guy that made Dusk, though. Incision is another such game with a pretty nasty twist that you'll either love or will completely turn you off of the game. It just entered Early Access and brings with it its first episode. The game is supposed to spend six months to a year in EA prior to full release, so there's a ways to go yet. But the question stands: is Incision worth it in Early Access, or should you prep more before you make the first cut? From a brief look, it's obvious that Incision is trying to elicit the same response as Quake, Blood, and, yes, Dusk. The visuals are very. . . rusty, bringing to mind filthy metal that's likely to make you itch for a tetanus shot. You play some dude who's caught in/trying to destroy a group of what I can only imagine are organic creatures that are cybernetically enhanced against their wills to joi...
