We revisit our beloved Franklin through a rollercoaster of events…

GTA V Online is still alive and well. It continues to maintain an astounding concurrent player count and Rockstar, as a result, continue to add content to it. I mean, it is about to be remastered across three different generations of consoles, an unprecedented feat.

Rockstar’s latest expansion, named The Contract, is due to land today. The Contract will kick off a couple of years after the main story’s ending. Players will be tasked with assisting Franklin while he sets up his new business, an agency that solves celebrities’ problems. Considering it’s Los Santos, the plan is unlikely to go smoothly, and players will find themselves in the middle of another thrilling adventure.

Though the expansion focuses on the new storyline, it also comes with new cars, but not as plentiful as Los Santos Tuners.

• Astron
• Baller Seven
• Buffalo Four
• Champion
• Cinquemila
• Comet Seven
• Deity
• Granger Two
• Ignus
• Iwagen
• Jubilee
• Patriot Three
• Reever
• Shinobi
• Zeno

There will be a total of 15 new cars in The Contract expansion pack, five of them being new variants to existing cars. Buffalo, Baller, Comet, Granger, and Patriot car-lines are getting new additions with the expansion pack.

The Contract will be available for download on Dec. 15 across all platforms for free. Rockstar Games hasn’t officially stated when players can start downloading the new expansion but based on previous releases, it should come around 9am GMT. Download times may vary upon launch since a decent portion of the player base will try to install it as soon as it goes live.

Smaller Conquest and Breakthrough matches are available for a limited time.

Battlefield 2042 initially launched with 128-player game modes on next-gen consoles and PC, while the PS4 and Xbox One were capped at 64 players. Therefore, those owning a next-generation device could not play smaller (but still large scale) game modes.

Well, things are about to change as DICE have added smaller Conquest and Breakthrough modes for the newer devices. Additionally, DICE said today that the featured Rush playlist will be available throughout the holiday. The option to matchmake is on the Portal’s home screen.

In other battlefield-related news, earlier this month, Electronic Arts announced plans to create a “connected Battlefield universe” alongside widespread changes to the franchise’s development structure.

DICE general manager Oscar Gabrielson is set to leave EA as part of these plans. At the same time, Respawn, and Infinity Ward co-founder Vince Zampella will take on a new role as the overseer of the entire Battlefield franchise.

Halo designer Marcus Lehto is also leading a new Seattle studio whose aim will be to add a more meaningful narrative to the Battlefield series.

Ah, 343, you’re gonna make me cry.

Halo Infinite’s campaign includes a hidden Easter egg that pays tribute to the original Xbox. This is a lovely touch by the developer, 343 Industries, and a very cool one at that, if I may say so myself.

As seen in the video below from user xGarbett, the Easter egg would be almost impossible to find if you weren’t actively looking for it. Tucked away in the roof of a structure in the southern part of the map is a small hole between some stone and steel, and it’s there that you’ll want to aim your Grappleshot and pull yourself up to. What you’ll find is a small room basking in the green glow of an original Xbox console and period-accurate TV/monitor. It’s a pretty bare-bones setup, featuring a utilitarian crate as a desk and a few folding chairs as seats, but it looks like a suitable place to gather a few friends for some multiplayer fun.

This is just one of many Halo Infinite Easter eggs players are finding, but it’s probably the most appropriate given Xbox‘s 20th anniversary this year.

Telltale advise us to stay tuned in the next few weeks…

The Wolf Among Us was a remarkable game and one of the best the studio Telltale Games had produced. Many fans, including myself, were devastated when the news broke that its sequel was being axed following Telltale’s comprehensive letting off of all of its staff in 2019. Well, as you may have known already, Telltale was restored a year later via an acquisition by LCG Entertainment. Good news for The Wolf Among Us fans… this meant the Big Bad Wolf Bigby was also being revived.

Since then, however, we have heard little to nothing regarding development, until now. A few days ago, at The Game Awards 2021 in L.A., Telltale Games unveiled their take on The Expanse as a narrative-driven video game adaptation. The developer recognized that fans of theirs were perhaps expecting an update on The Wolf Among Us 2, which was announced all the way back in 2019, and so put out the following statement just below.

TO ALL OUR AWESOME #TWAU2 FANS OUT THERE:

We want to assure you that we will have something for you soon. Unfortunately, the timing just didn’t work out for #TheGameAwards.

READ THIS: https://t.co/n1XstoIVC1

(& get ready for the next issue of @gameinformer!)

— Telltale Games (@telltalegames) December 10, 2021

In the blog post attached to the tweet, Telltale further delves into the ongoing development of The Wolf Among Us 2. The developer acknowledged that the sequel was initially announced as going into pre-production over two years ago, and while they didn’t have anything to show for it at The Game Awards yesterday, The Wolf Among Us 2 will feature in the next issue of Game Informer, which hits shelves in just a few weeks.

This is excellent news for all Telltale fans alike.

Instead, the update will now focus on other quality of life changes first.

Following the launch of Call of Duty: Vanguard’s first season, which added new multiplayer maps, DLC weapons, and more Zombies content, there was supposed to be a weapon balancing update. Well, this has been delayed so that developer Sledgehammer can first implement a small hotfix to address bug fixes and spawn adjustments. Sledgehammer has confirmed that this decision was made to maintain stability.

The update now brings adjusted spawn logic to reduce spawn traps on Shipment and updates to the Mortar Barrage killstreak. Previously, the Mortar Barrage caused major visibility issues for players, but the update brings improved visibility by reducing full-screen smoke effects. As a result of the change, players need to be closer to the barrage to be affected.

This update should bring more stability to Vanguard as Sledgehammer Games says the “Server Snapshot Error” bug that resulted in players being kicked from matches has now been fixed. An update also arrives in the Clan feature, as banning users from Clans no longer results in an error.

Unfortunately, the patch notes don’t provide a new date for the postponed weapon changes.

The full patch notes can be found below, as shared by Sledgehammer Games.

The post Call of Duty: Vanguard Weapon Balancing Delayed For Other Improvements first appeared on Get2Gaming.

Scuf have delivered, ladies and gentlemen…

The updated DualSense controller is nothing short of spectacular. However, for players in the competitive scene, users will often want extra functionality; hence, the success of companies like Scuf which offer paddles on the back. Well, the first-ever third-party DualSense controller has now arrived. Scuf has introduced its new Reflex, Reflex Pro, and Reflex FPS controllers explicitly designed for the PS5.

On the surface, the Scuf Reflex looks nearly identical to the traditional DualSense, but plenty of small improvements are to be found. The biggest thing the Reflex line adds is a removable set of back control paddles. These rear paddles work similarly to those on the Xbox Elite Series 2, but you can reprogram or disable them on the fly via a small rubber button on the back of the controller.

The Reflex and Reflex Pro still feature Sony’s adaptive triggers, but the Reflex FPS swaps them out for instant triggers that actuate with one tap similar to a mouse button.

You also get swappable thumbsticks on the Reflex, allowing you to change them out for extended, short, domed, and concave options. The faceplate trim around the thumbsticks is also removable if you want to swap colours.

Speaking of colours, the Reflex line will be available in white, grey, black, orange, navy blue, and red. However, only the black version will be available at launch, with more colourways released in the next few weeks and months.

It’s worth noting that technically the Scuf Reflex isn’t the first non-Sony PS5 controller to hit the market – custom shops HexGaming and AimControllers both have launched customized DualSense variants already but this is the first major company to launch its own PS5 controller thus far. Here’s hoping other manufacturers like Astro will follow suit and bring ertmore options to the market.

Master Chief is back, ladies and gentlemen.

Halo Infinite just released its campaign, December 8th. The multiplayer is entirely free for those who don’t know; players will simply be paying for the campaign if they wish to do so.

In a post by Halo Support, the download sizes were detailed, and for those who have already been playing the multiplayer component, you’ll have substantially less to install.

For those who have nothing installed yet, installing the multiplayer component will take approximately 26.53 GB, while both the campaign and multiplayer together take up around 48.42 GB.

If you’ve already been playing the multiplayer, you’ll only have a 3.97 GB update to install for that portion of the game, and if you plan on downloading the campaign, it will be another 25.86 GB.

According to the post, sizes could vary slightly depending on the device you’re installing it on.

Season 1 launches today, December 8th.

Call of Duty: Vanguard launches Season 1 today, and with the new season arrives a new Battle Pass, new free weapons, maps, modes and lots of other new content, including Zombies updates.

Vanguard is getting two new maps:

• Paradise—A medium-sized three-lane style map with an underground tunnel at a hazardous weapons testing site. Definitely sounds like paradise.
• Radar—A remake of MW3’s ’Dome’ map, not to be confused with Vanguard’s ‘Dome’ map.

There will be two new perks added to the game this season as well:

• Serpentine—Slightly reduces incoming ballistic and explosive damage while sprinting. Useful for running into or out of danger.
• Intuition—Players are alerted of nearby enemies even through walls.

The classic mode, Control, will make its Vanguard debut in Season. The rather barebones Zombies mode is getting some new content, including New Objective ‘Purge’ and new Covenants Weapons and challenges.

FIFA 22 tops the charts, but Nintendo Switch exclusives continue to dominate.

The Nintendo Switch UK physical charts data is now in for the week ending 4th December. Amongst the top ten places are a variety of Switch exclusives, despite FIFA 22 ranking top and Call of Duty: Vanguard coming in at third.

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe has fallen down to second following its first-place achievement last week, with FIFA 22 returning to the top of the table. Still, it was an impressive week for Nintendo’s platform nonetheless.

The new Pokémon titles, Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, managed to climb back up the chart a little this week, as did Animal Crossing: New Horizons and multiplatform release Just Dance 2022 also sold best on Switch.

New Switch release Big Brain Academy: Brain vs. Brain also entered the charts in its debut week but only managed 36th position.

Here’s a look at this week’s top ten all formats chart (the first column marks the ranking for the prior week ending 27th November, and the following ranking is for the week ending the 4th):

The franchise is set to be revived, bigger than ever.

Rumours have recently surfaced regarding BioShock 4. According to sources who have spoken with VideoGameChronicle and the Sacred Symbols’ podcast, the next Bioshock game, which is rumoured to be titled BioShock Isolation, will take place during the 1960s in a fictional Antarctic City called Borealis. The new game is reportedly narratively tied to the previous BioShock games.

During the Sacred Symbols podcast, it was also revealed that “Internally the game is very secret and apparently, totally locked up. Apparently, their inclination is that they understand full well that this game will be compared to what [BioShock creator] Ken Levine does. And by the way, [Take-Two] is also publishing Levine’s next game.”

BioShock’s original director, Ken Levine, will not be involved in the new project (since he’s busy working on his own game). However, the current game’s creative director, Hogarth de la Plante, was involved in the original BioShock in multiple roles, including level design, environment art, and programming.

The new BioShock takes place in 1960s Antarctica.
