FOR PLAYSTATION, PC AND XBOX WITH SWITCH AND OTHER VERSIONS REXING AT A LATER DATE

Ubisoft has announced that Roller Champions will be skating on May 25th!

Revealed in 2019 and originally planned to release the year after, Roller Champions is a “Ubisoft Original” free-to-play PvP online competitive sports game produced by Ubisoft Montreal.

Roller Champions looks like the young whippersnapper offspring of the ancient but still fun Brutal Deluxe SpeedBall 2 and recent competitive darling Rocket League! But with less cars especially much less of the rocket-powered type cars!

From the trailers the premise looks simple enough with similar competitive offensive/defensive and counteroffensive / defensive play and tactics with the aim to score more goals than the opposing side while navigating obstacles and different themed arenas.

Roller Champions will be available next week on Xbox One and PS4, Xbox Series X/S and PS5 via backward compatibility, and for PC through the Ubisoft Store.

Of course Roller Champions will also be rolling to Nintendo Switch, the Epic Games Store, Stadia and Amazon Luna at a later date.

“In each match, you and two teammates will face off against another team of three in an elliptical arena,” Ubisoft says. “The goal is straightforward – reach five points before your opponents do – and the basics are easy to grasp”.

“Keep control of the ball by skating and passing, steal it from your opponents with a well-timed tackle, and make a full lap of the arena to open up the goal and take your shot”.

“Once you’ve got the fundamentals down, you can level up your game by practicing and socializing in the skatepark hub, and then using your skills in matches to execute team manoeuvres and do multiple laps to increase the points each goal is worth.”

Roller Champions will support the now standard cross-play and cross-progression at launch.

Roller Champions will also feature a free Roller Pass, which players can progress through to unlock cosmetic items for their skater, and a premium version offering access to exclusive gear that won’t be available in the item shop.

The Original Open World Driving Game Was Originally Scheduled To Arrive In Sept 2022!

Nacon has declared that development of Test Drive Unlimited: Solar Crown has been pushed into 2023 and that the last-generation versions of the game have all been cancelled from development.

From a recent blog post, the developer stated that its “goal with Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown is to make it the most polished gaming experience in the franchise by spending more time on its development”.

Nacon’s “Test Drive Unlimited: Solar Crown” was previously scheduled to be released in September 2022 for PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store.

Nacon confirmed on Wednesday that the new entry in the long running open world driving franchise will no longer be released for Microsoft‘s and Sony‘s last-generation consoles.

“Finally, with the aim of making the most of the technology in the latest consoles and maximising the overall quality of the game, Nacon has decided to no longer develop Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.”

Nacon also revealed that it is working towards a timeline for several closed betas. While the studio didn’t confirm when these tests would take place, they said the tests would allow them “to gather your valuable feedback so we can keep improving the game’s quality until it releases, while also staying in more regular contact with you”.

Test Drive Unlimited: Solar Crown was Unveiled in July 2020, the third game in the long-running Test Drive franchise’s open-world Unlimited sub-series promises to let players get to grips with “extraordinary cars” within Hong Kong “a luxurious island world recreated at 1:1 scale”.

“The brand new Test Drive Unlimited keeps the DNA from the first games, and revamps it for the modern era,” promises the blurb accompanying a trailer released last April.

“You have the freedom to progress however you like, the classic open championship concept returns too. Live your best life. Race, cruise, and hang out with your friends until the sun goes down and even after!”

Playstation has allegedly told its studios they can’t comment publicly on reproductive rights

Bungie’s CEO Pete Parsons has stated Sony Interactive Entertainment’s ( SIE ) imminent acquisition of the studio won’t stop the creators of Destiny from standing up for what it believes in.

Last week SIE Head Jim Ryan sent studio employees an email reminding them to “Respect differences of opinion” with regard to the sensitive subject of reproductive rights.

The email reminder which was sent after a leaked Supreme Court Draft apparently exposed plans to overrule Roe vs. Wade, which legalised abortion across the US is said to have enraged Playstation employees and sent shockwaves across all of Sony’s studios including Insomniac Games the creatives behind Spiderman.

According to leaked emails sent from Insomniac studio Head Ted Price, the studio had compiled a comprehensive reply to Playstation Studios boss Herman Hulst in which a large collective of Insomniac Studios staff appealed to the parent company to “Do better by employees directly affected” by the situation.

SIE are now reportedly working to improve inter-studio relations collaborating closely with Insomniac Games to put forward a scheme to provide financial aid to employees who have to make travel and temporary living arrangements outside of their home states to receive reproductive care.

Playstation is also reportedly planning to match a $50,000 donation Insomniac is making to the “Women’s Reproductive Rights Assistance Project”

Price however also added that Playstation won’t allow any of its studios to publicly comment on reproductive rights.

Bungie, the latest in a long line of targeted studio acquisitions in the early stages from Sony Playstation is one of the most high profile video-game companies to vocalise publicly its own position on the subject of reproductive rights in recent weeks.

“The leaked draft decision by the U.S. Supreme Court to overturn Roe v. Wade represents a blow to freedom in America and is a direct attack on human rights,” It had said earlier this month.

“Standing up for reproductive choice and liberty is not a difficult decision to make, and Bungie remains dedicated to upholding these values.”

It’s going to really suck if Sony put a muzzle on Bungie in future and stop them from doing actual hero shit like this https://t.co/zTl0dw1QBH pic.twitter.com/tZRrVqk9xn

Yes.

— pete parsons (@pparsons) May 17, 2022

Earlier in the week, a Twitter user added it would “really suck if Sony put a muzzle on Bungie in future”.

A senior community manager at Bungie responding to the comment offered full confidence that “there will never be a ‘muzzle’ big enough to stop us from standing up for what’s right.”

The statement was given full support by Bungie CEO Parsons, who simply replied “Yes.”

Sony publicly revealed in January that Bungie and Sony had come to an agreement to collaborate and operate under the Sony umbrella of its world-renowned creative Sony Studios. The agreement between Sony and Bungie allows Bungie full autonomy and freedom of publishing rights to its own Destiny and Destiny 2 IP remaining a wholly independant multiplatform studio and has reiterated that future Bungie releases will remain multiplatform for the foreseeable future.

The Sony acquisition of Bungie is reportedly valued at a whopping $3.6 Billion and is currently still pending due to FTC investigations but Sony remains confident expecting the acquisition to be fully complete by the end of the year.

The renowned Japanese videogame giants and publishing house behind legendary and iconic gaming franchises such as StreetFighter, Megaman, Resident Evil and Monster Hunter, Capcom have listed their “All time best-selling videogames“

Capcom have compiled and listed their entire historys released titles and compiled them into the All-time best selling with over 100 of Capcoms titles surpassing 1M units with not surprisingly Monster Hunter World being far and away Capcoms most successful franchise to date leading the pack at a monstrous 18M units sold which released in 2018 on all major formats.

At a distant second place surprisingly at 10.8 M units sold to date is the critically acclaimed Resident Evil 7 which was a successful soft reboot of the franchise that  preceded Monster Hunter World a year earlier.

Within Capcoms top10 it is not surprisingly dominated by variations and spin offs of the Monster Hunter series leading the charge with recent entries of Resident Evil and Street Fighter also making up the list.

The oldest Capcom title to get into the top10 is StreetFighter 2 which released all the way back in 1992 on the now legendary SNES at a 6.3M units sold to date with somewhat surprisingly the latest Street Fighter V which released in 2016 trailing by a whisker at 6.2M units sold to date.

Do you agree with the listings, do you own any of the aforementioned games, have you contributed to Monster Hunter World selling gangbusters and breaking records!

“Camping!”  “Teabagging!”  “Easter Eggs!” “Grinding!”  “Smurfing!?”

A few terms that mean entirely different things in different real-world contexts, terms that we might usually associate with a typical relaxing May day out at the local park then again maybe its completely different for you? who are we to judge!?

Confused!? Well don’t be any longer! If you hadn’t noticed Gaming is massive! Bigger than massive in fact! More Open, more Diverse, more Social, more Creative and more Inclusive than ever before and still growing! And on many more devices than ever before!

Gaming bridges cultural and societal differences and brings us closer together than ever before with our leaderboard rivals either across the road or across countries and language barriers. Gaming allows us to forget our real-world worries for a brief moment in time and lets us Relax, Communicate, Socialise, Create, Share, and “Killstreak” on a level playing field.

As our gaming and digital entertainment landscape is continually ever-evolving with new platforms, new genres, and ever more new inventive ways to game, play, and “Victory Dance”. So too is our ever-growing vocabulary of jargon and abbreviations that gamers and the wider gaming community have creatively appropriated to communicate to with each other creating “Gaming Slang” or a “Gaming Dialect”.

The barrier to entry into gaming is lower than ever before with more and more people of all ages, skill and backgrounds competing and playing together. This community is vast and diverse and communicating and understanding simple messages from teenage derogatory remarks about your gaming prowess to your all important next planet saving mission objective can be literally like learning a new language and can be the difference between you being labelled a “Troll” or “Griefer” to hopefully the “MVP” or even a “Smurf”?!

Not sure if an “NPC” is complimenting you on your gaming prowess or insulting your “K/D” ratio with a “Teabagging?”

The “Official Playstation Website“ has helpfully compiled a glossary to what Playstation itself refers to as “Playstation’s Ultimate List Of Popular Gaming Related Terms“ covering the most common phrases and terms encountered and used by most modern gamers as reported by gaming-centric youtube channel Scrubing & GameRant.com.

The listing includes Terms, Phrases and Abbreviations. Some you may have encountered on your digital travels through Los Santos, some are easily recognisable and deciphered and some are totally unheard of depending on your gaming experience journey.

So what are you waiting for don’t be a “Noob!” and “Rage quit!”, “Camp” out and “Level Up” your gaming knowledge and “XP” at “Playstation’s Ultimate List Of Popular Gaming Related Terms“ so you too can become the “MVP” and be down with the kids and “Pwn / Own” your next unsuspecting victim!
