Pokemon cards have been around since 1996 and have always been a fairly popular collectible. However it’s safe to say that their popularity has made a massive resurgence in recent years. Collectors and scalpers have begun buying up as many packs as they can find. Whether it’s to build their decks or to sell off the cards at a higher price. Some stores even saw people lining up outside before open to buy up their stock of Pokemon cards. So why would McDonald’s be any different?

The Pokemon Cards of McDonald’s 2021

Pokemon already teamed up with McDonald’s last year in order to celebrate the franchise’s 25th anniversary. For the collaboration McDonald’s distributed Pokemon cards within their Happy Meals, a nice alternative to the usual plastic toy. There were 25 cards in the set being the 24 starter Pokemon, across all 8 generations of the franchise, and Pikachu. However each card also had a holographic version increasing the number total cards to 50.

This of course meant that there were some cards more rare and more valuable then others, which brought problems. Collectors and scalpers in the US immediately began buying as many Happy Meals as they could to get their hands on the cards. The demand created a shortage of cards to distribute in Happy Meals leaving many kids who just wanted a neat card with their McDonald’s left with nothing. Meanwhile scalpers were reselling the cards online to other Pokemon card collectors.

This issue got so bad that when the promotion later came to the UK they had to implement restrictions. McDonald’s restaurants were limiting the number of additional toys and cards customers could get to one per customer. This meant that people buying multiple Happy Meals to get the cards would not get a Pokemon card for every individual Happy Meal they ordered. This restrictions help to prevent the shortage issues.

McDonald’s Brings Pokemon Back for 2022

After the popularity of 2021’s Pokemon promotion is appears that McDonald’s have partnered with the franchise again for 2022. The promotion is being referred to as Match Battle and will feature new toys and cards in its Happy Meal. Customers and Pokemon fans will be able to get a pack of four Pokemon cards, a special Pokemon coins and Pokemon themed spinners with their Happy Meals. The Happy Meal box itself also now has a Pikachu designs complete with pop up ears.

McDonald’s are looking to avoid the issues that they had with last years promotion to make sure there is enough for everyone. McDonald’s restaurants everywhere will be implementing the same restrictions used by the UK branch during the 2021 promotion. Once again customers will not be able to receive more than one set of additional toys and cards by purchasing multiple Happy Meals. This will prevent people from buying many Happy Meals just for the toys reducing concerns about wasted food. It will help to stop the shortage issue from last year happening again.

The Cards Available In 2022

Of course the biggest question on every collector’s mind is what Pokemon cards are available this year? The 2022 Match Battle set is smaller that the previous 2021 set with only 15 unique cards. However once again every card also has a holographic version increasing the total to 30. The only two returning Pokemon from last year’s promotion are Pikachu and Rowlett who appear on new cards for the new set. Every other card features a Pokemon that was not present in last year’s promotion. The full list of new Pokemon is: Chinchou, Cutiefly, Growlithe, Flaaffy, Gossifleur, Victini, Tynamo, Lapras, Ledyba, Smeargle, Drampa, Pangoro and Bewear.

Of course with the return of holographic cards there are still some that are more valuable than others. Once again collectors and scalpers will most likely be trying to their hands on the more rare cards of the set. However, with the restriction in place there is no longer a concern about them buying out the whole stock. Overall 2022’s promotion is looking to be more enjoyable for the casual consumer and Pokemon fan than the previous year’s.

An Amazon listing recently went live revealing Dead Island 2’s new box art and a few game teasers – nearly 9 years after it was first unveiled!

If the long-delayed game’s PS4 listing on Amazon is to be believed, Dead Island 2 is set to release on 3 February 2023.

Dead Island 2 takes place across some of the most iconic locations in Los Angeles “now stained with horror, in an exciting pulp journey from the verdant suburbia of Beverly Hills to the quirky promenade of Venice Beach”.

Several screenshots of gameplay have also been made available, alongside a release trailer.

Dead Island 2 Trailer – E3 2014

The game starts in a quarantined LA, crawling with zombies after the spread of a deadly virus.

Dead Island 2 boasts that it has hundreds of LA-themed variants of zombie which “look and react realistically” and can be customised with their own mutations and attacks. Combat also delivers an intense and gory first-person experience, with plenty of weapons and tactical moves to battle the zombie takeover.

It has been confirmed that Dead Island 2 will have at least six playable characters – an increase from only four in the previous games in the series. Each character has their own unique personality and dialogue, with additional customisation options.

The Day 1 Edition includes “Memories of Banoi Pack – Banoi War Club”, “Memories of Banoi Baseball Bat”, “Weapon Perk – balanced” and “Personal space skill card”.

Dead Island 2 has already been confirmed as an Epic Store exclusive, and chances are that the PC version won’t come as a physical boxed copy.

Dead Island 2 will also be available on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, and Xbox Series / Xbox One.

Warner Bros. are the latest to throw their hat into the platform fighter ring with their new game MultiVersus! Developed by the small studio of veteran game developer, Player First Games. MultiVersus is a free to play platform fighter. The game entered it’s open beta last month and has now officially began it’s first season earlier this week. Season 1 also brought along plenty of new info about upcoming content to the game. Here is everything you need to know about what new rewards and content will be available throughout season 1!

Battle Pass!

Of course a new season means a brand new Battle Pass to accompany it. Like with the preseason Battle Pass before it, the season 1 pass is split into two paths. The first is the Free Path, players can earn rewards from this path for free.

The second path is the Premium Path. Players will need to purchase this path in order to claim its rewards. However it grants a new reward each tier meaning it contains more rewards than the Free Path.

The Premium Path costs 950 Gleamium, which is the premium currency within MultiVersus. Gleamium can be purchased through micro-transactions. Spending £7.99 will get you 1000 Gleamium to which is the cheapest way to get the Gleamium you need for the Premium Path. Alternatively if you purchased any of the Founder’s Packs for the game you can exchange a Premium Token for the premium path at no additional cost.

Battle Pass Rewards!

Of course the main appeal of a Battle Pass is all of the in game goodies that you can get from it! Season 1’s Battle Pass contains 50 tiers of new stuff for you to unlock. Brand new Player Icons and Banners will add a little spice to your player profile. Ringout Effects will increase the visual flair of your knockouts. Character taunts allow you to show off your kung fu moves as Shaggy or dance as Jake the Dog.

Of course the most appealing rewards are arguably the brand new character skins. You can unlock Taz’s Tune Squad outfit from Space Jam and Bugs Bunny’s Brunhilde outfit. You can even dress LeBron James as Batman’s iconic sidekick.

Season 1’s Battle Pass is available until November 15th. Make sure to complete your daily missions and seasonal milestones to increase your battle pass tier. The more you increase the Battle Pas tier, the more rewards you will unlock.

New Playable Characters!

As revealed previously at San Diego Comic Con’s MultiVersus panel, both Rick and Morty from the television series of the same name will be added to MultiVersus’ roster of playable character during season 1. Morty will be released on August 23rd with Rick becoming playable afterwards at a later date which currently has not been specified.

As of now not much is officially known about how either of these characters will play in game. However the roster page of the website confirms their classes. Morty will be a part of the Bruiser class while Rick is a Mage/Ranged type character.

According to tweets from Tony Huynh, The game’s Director, Morty is labeled as an “Expert” character. Like the game’s other expert characters it may be a little harder to master Morty’s play style than other characters. This means Morty will most likely cost 3000 in game gold or 700 Gleamium to unlock for your roster.

For those wondering Morty is labeled as "Expert." #MultiVersus

— Tony Huynh (@Tony_Huynh) August 9, 2022

Even More New Characters!

But Rick and Morty aren’t the only characters coming to the game in Season 1, two more characters were revealed by the new graphic featured on the game’s login screen and website to promote season 1. These characters are Stripe from Gremlins and Black Adam from DC Comics.

Not much about these characters is currently known. Stripe and Black Adam have been added to the roster page on the website. However they are currently empty slots with their names and lack the image or character bio that all other characters have. As a result there is currently no way to tell what classes these characters will be.

There is also no exact date for when they will be added to the game outside of simply during season 1. However it would be reasonable to assume that they will be added sometime after Rick due to being revealed after him.

What's better than officially kicking off #MultiVersus Season 1? Announcing Black Adam and Stripe are also coming this season. 😏 You're welcome. pic.twitter.com/vmo3nm8tv5

— MultiVersus (@multiversus) August 15, 2022

New Modes!

A new Battle Pass and new characters are not the only new content being added during Season 1! There will also be new game modes for players to enjoy. There are two new modes that were revealed to be coming to the game when the Season 1 Snapshot was shown off during the MultiVersus tournament at EVO 2022.

The first these modes is the Classic Arcade Mode where players will have to fight against a series of opponents back to back. It is confirmed is that the mode will be co-op allowing you to take on Classic Arcade Mode with a friend to help them along the way.

The second mode is a new ranked online mode. This mode will allow players to fight against each other online in a more competitive setting. This mode will be accompanied by leader boards and rankings so players can compete to become the best of the best.

Once again many of the exact details of this mode are unconfirmed. However it can be assumed that players on the same team in 2v2 fights to pick the same character, as this was a rule used in the official EVO 2022 MultiVersus tournament.

The exact release dates for either of these modes are currently still unknown. However they are confirmed to be added to the game sometime during Season 1.

Get Playing

That’s everything to look forward to in Season 1 of MultiVersus. Season 1 brings plenty of content for you to dig into and this is all just for a single season! Even more content such as more characters, stages and cosmetics will be added in future seasons.

So get playing to earn these rewards and enjoy all this new content! MultiVersus is available for FREE on Steam, Epic Games Store, PS4, PS5, Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S.

The post Back To School Favourites: Everything You Need For The New School Year first appeared on Get2Gaming.

Naughty dog have release ten minutes of gameplay from their upcoming remake of “The last of us”, now titled “the Last of Us Part 1”, following leaks that the developers have described as “disheartening, frustrating and hurtful.”

The ten Minutes Feature a gameplay deep dive with the devs who go into how they “went in and Rebuilt the Game from the ground up. An accompanying post on the Playstation blog has confirmed the game can Render at Naitive 4K with a targeted 30FPS, or a dynamic 4K at a targeted 60FPS.

The blog states ““The PS5’s powerful hardware drives a host of visual benefits, from denser physics with tons of bumpables and chipables (bullets can now rip apart concrete and environmental objects) and cinematics now transition seamlessly to gameplay,”

“Motion matching technology means that character animations flow more convincingly, intuitively and realistically; all adding another layer of believability to characters and their interactions with the world.

“Further, AI upgrades mean that characters inhabit the world in a more authentic and realistic way, such as buddy characters navigating cover to avoid enemy NPC sightlines more authentically.”

Naughty Dog have also confirmed the addition of permadeath and speedrun modes, as well as new costumes for Joel and ellie

This reveal comes following leaks showing off the games Intro, Combat and accessibility options. Naughty Dogs vice president Arne meyer responded to this by saying “Leaks really suck, Esp when we’re right on the cusp of an asset drop. It’s disheartening and frustrating to teams who have put their hearts making awesome things for our fans.” T

These thoughts where echoed by Samuel prince, senior editor at naughty Dog who said “They’re extremely hurtful to the devs who work tirelessly to bring you these wonderful games. Public-facing assets take a long time to create, revise, approve, localize, clear legal, ESRB, etc. Be kind!”

Now, with all that said…

WARNING: PERSONAL OPINIONS AHEAD

I do not like how this game is shaping up. On one hand the fact the last of us is coming to PC is great, and the first game is by far the less controversial of the two, But the last of us Part 1 looks like its at best going to be a very mediocre experience and, at worst, is going to be bad.

Lets start with the “4K” claims because I am going to be real I dont think people really understand what 4K means when it comes to games. 4K is a resolution. 4K means the game is being output to your screen at a size of 3840 x 2160 Pixels. Resolution, notably, has *nothing* to do with graphics. It *can*, higher resolutions can facilitate nicer looking graphics, but that really does not matter much. If you do not have a 4K display, then a 4K resolution means nothing. Hell, on PC there is a small but notable argument that Lower resolution CRT monitors are better than higher Resolution LCD monitors because of their faster refresh rate which makes games play better.

I'm seeing loads of people voicing their anger/concern for the remake's gameplay, and that's 100% okay. I'm not here to argue with anyone.

But I think one of the undebatable things about this remake is all the accessibility options. (1/2) pic.twitter.com/6HHKjvA8ee

— Naughty Dog Info (@NaughtyDogInfo) July 21, 2022

Another thing that has me a little unsure of this release is the accessibility options. Naughty dog have bragged about there being “over 60” Accessibility features in the game. This is, in itself, not bad. More accessibility options are always a good thing. But I would argue that with the recent leaks… these are not accessibility options. A lot of these are dedicated to Lowering difficulty or easing combat or removing puzzles, and personally these are the kinds of “accessibility options” that I really hate. Good accessibility options are Button Rebinding, Colour blind modes, Text to speech, audio descriptive, etc, which are all here, but Fundamentally these should all just be cosmetic so people can enjoy the game. When an “accessibility option” changes the difficulty of a game, then it hurts the integrity of the overall experience. This was an issue in TLOU Part 2 where you could trivialise the entire game using these.

To be clear, again, accessibility features are good inherently. But I know of people who don’t have use of their hands, complete dark souls or Sekiro with their feet. accessibility is making it so that anyone *can* complete a game, not making it so that anyone will.

All in all, graphically the game looks meh, the Boasting of 4K is borderline meaningless, the game looks like its once again going to have any challenge nuked from orbit in the name of accessibility, and all in all this feels like a rushed cash in. they could very easily have just ported the PS4 release of TLOU to PS5 and PC. its still a fine looking game. But instead they decided to do a full “remake” and charge $70 for it.

Doom Eternal will be getting limited edition physical copies very soon.

In the past, physical games used to have posters or guide books in their boxes. Now, the boxes lack such a feature. There’s less of an incentive to buy physical copies unless you prefer them, or just like having something on your shelf for your own personal collection. A push to buy digital copies of games instead is now a much more popular venture because of its convenience, especially because not all games get a physical copy. 

Recently, what really entices gamers are limited edition physical copies of games. These include things like posters and guide books, and much more. Having these on your shelf really feels worthwhile.

Doom Eternal has received praise for its graphics, level design, soundtrack, and combat. Doom Eternal also received five nominations at The Game Awards for 2020, including Game of the Year and Best Action Game.

Knowing this, it’s clear that this once digital only game deserves a grand physical edition release. And so it got one. 

There are multiple options for what you can buy. From just the physical copy and reversible cover option, to the Ultimate edition, including a poster, figurines, vinyl cover art prints, and more. Depending on your budget, you can pick which suits you best. Price points from the Limited Run Games website are $59.99 to $174.99. 

With price points like these, it can seem daunting. However, with a game like Doom Eternal, it is understandable why a demand for physical copies and limited editions are warranted.

Previously, with games such as Titanfall (2014), which won over 60 awards at its E3 2013 reveal, it is easy to see how such a praised game would almost feel strange without a collectors edition. Its collectors edition had an 18-inch titan statue equipped with LED lights, as well as a concept art book with 190 pages. Although at a hefty price point of now $400, it is understandable why gamers would want something so awesome for a game so loved.

This is why, with a game as loved as Doom Eternal, a collectors edition will be very sought after.

Although not the first FPS game ever made, the original Doom (1993) was entirely genre defining, with it being frequently cited as one of the greatest games ever made. It sold an estimated 3.5 million copies by 1999. Doom Eternal iterates on its past this with new graphics and features, and continues to define and influence the FPS genre as a whole. Undoubtedly, fans of the series are excited for its limited edition release.

Doom Eternal is available now for PC, PS4, PS5, Stadia, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S. The Switch physical editions will be launching for pre-order July 29 to September 11 2022.

Platinum games to take on “larger and risker games” as it hires veteran Nintendo exec.

PlatinumGames know for action games like “Bayonetta” series, “Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance” and “NieR:Automata“.They have been teasing a new era for the company after under going a number of high level staff changes over the past year, the latest of these being new vice president/Chief Business Officer former Managing Director of Nintendo of Europe Takao Yamane. Along side this at the beginning  of year the year producer Atsushi Inaba was announced as Platinum’s new CEO.

Who is Takao Yamane

While not a super recognisable name in Nintendo he spent nearly 30 years there beginning as Vice President of Nintendo France until 2007, then moving onto being the Managing Director of Sales at Nintendo of Europe for 18 years.

Platinum “new directions”

When asked about join Platinum Yamane said he felt he required in order to help veteran game designer Hikdeki Kamiya (mind behind the Bayonetta and Devil May Cry series) and new CEO Atsushi Inaba “make their dreams become reality. He cited the upcoming unnamed game Project GG originally teased in 2020 declaring the project as being “incredible”. Project GG is set to be platinum’s first fully owned self published title. Essentially Yamane’s arrival signifies a “significant” change for PlatinumGames .

What this means and why

All of this is the say that the developer is not so subtlety hinting at a new direction for their new creative projects even teasing “PlatinumGames Reborn” for an interview tomorrow on the Japanese magazines Famitsu’s website. This is all notably happing after the failure of their last game Babylon’s Fall, a live service action role-playing game published by Square Enix, which released to not so great reviews. With IGN bluntly stating “isn’t good. It’s not terrible or broken, it just “is,” and “does little to justify investing your time into it” giving it a meagre 4/10.

Most likely this new leaf they are turning is a direct response to their last change in direction that had lead to Babylon’s failure with fans even calling out the decision earlier in February when it was announced they where moving form the “one-off, well designed tiles” that they were know and specialised for and moving to live service games.

PlatniumGames literally just said "We do not want to make well designed titles"

What company literally admits they don't want to make good games any more? https://t.co/lRVa9Y7FFS

— Christina Tasty (@ChristinaTasty) February 7, 2022

All of this is leading up to the release of Bayonetta 3 the return of their flagship series after almost 8 years in October (releasing exclusively on Nintendo switch) with fans extremely hopeful for a good game in light of this new direction.

Babylon's Fall made them restructure the whole business , talk about a hit! https://t.co/lY3vKUdQOE

Form the looks of it the failure of Babylon has driven Platinum to going back and expanding their roots into bigger titles, what the company has in store and what Project GG will be is something we will have to see. The full Famitsu’s interview will take place on tomorrow on the 20th July.

Apple have recently added a “leaving soon” section to the apple arcade store, signaling the departure of roughly 15 games from the service.

Apple them self have refused to comment on why said games are leaving, however MacRumors have been able to speak to an insider for comment, which has shed some light on what is going on behind the scenes.

When apple arcade first launched, Apple signed a number of three-year deals with developers, entering into contracts that provided a fixed payment and ongoing royalties. These contracts are now coming to an end, and Apple is either opting not to renew them or the developers themselves have chosen not to renew. Many of the titles leaving where either launch titles for the service or where added shortly after launch.

Developers Retain the rights to their games and can re-release them on the app store, or through other platforms, but the games that are removed from the apple arcade service wone be accessible through apple arcade.

Games can be re-added to the app store on the same day they are removed from apple arcade, but games will be uploaded with a new Bundle ID. this means that Apple Arcade Subscribers will be able to redownload the games, but they will not be able to access the same game that was available through arcade

As of right now it is not clear is saved progress will be able to transfer over from the apple arcade version of the game to the new version, should the devs choose to reintroduce their games to the app store, as that will depend on whether developers implement support for data transfer.

Games leavering include Spelldrifer, Projection: Fist Light, EarthNight, Cardpocalypse, Dead End Job, and more.

Nintendo recently revealed a new Splatoon multiplayer map.

Nintendo UK has shown off another stage coming to the third paint-blasting multiplayer game. The new stage is called Mincemeat Metalworks, yes you read that correctly, we’re assuming the new stage isn’t as brutal and butchery as it sounds. As far as we know it seems like the new stages in Splatoon 3 are following a pattern, with the last one – Undertow Spillway – also involving grey and metallic tones. Undertow Spillway, is an abandoned area underneath the city that’s recently been renovated into an ideal place for Turf Wars. Although it may be metallic and grey throughout, overgrown wildlife, colourful stickers, subtle pops of colour and white graffiti are placed throughout the area. Splashes of paint from hitting your targets are a sure way of brightening up the place!

This new multiplayer stage, Mincemeat Metalworks, was made from scrap metal in order to make more scrap metal. There used to be a sea here, but it evaporated, leaving behind a wasteland. #Splatoon3 pic.twitter.com/qdXghVuqeK

— Nintendo UK (@NintendoUK) July 4, 2022

Mincemeat Metalworks, nonetheless, is out in the open, rusted over, and left in the middle of an evaporated ocean, surrounded by a wasteland. The stage has plenty to bring forth havoc on Splatoon 3’s release. There are cranes, vehicles and scrap metal blocks littering the scene, and of course the series’ recognisable paint splatters filling the space. The first glance clip was shared on Nintendo UK’s twitter on the 4th of July.

Like we mentioned earlier, a sneak peak of Undertow Spillway was also shared recently on the 17th of June. There are plenty of places where you can hide and gain advantage against your rivals, although the below clip may not show us any action, we do get a great sense of what this new location will look like.

Undertow Spillway is a former flood bypass located deep under Splatsville. Abandoned for years, it surged in popularity after it was renovated into a stage for Turf War battles! #Splatoon3 pic.twitter.com/hjJXTweK0o

— Nintendo UK (@NintendoUK) June 17, 2022

Updates so far

It’s likely we will get to see a couple more stages from Nintendo before the official release, but there has been small releases of content coming out such as some new weapons and updates on customisation for characters. It also sounds like we may be able to have our own apartment in the game according to a tweet from Splatoon in May. We’ve also seen some brand new designs for the game’s Octolings.

Flick through the images below to see some exciting updates!

Images all sourced from Nintendo’s Twitter.

Nintendo recently confirmed the Splatoon 3 release date will be September 9th, 2022.

In April Nintendo also added Splatoon 2’s Octo Expansion DLC to Switch Online’s Expansion Pack membership tier. You can purchase Splatoon 2 here.

So if you don’t have RTX GPU can now make use of AMD’s latest scaling technology. this allows players to play an upscaled version of Red Dead Redemption 2 through team red’s technology rather than team green’s. You should note that this mod is not an official release of rockstar and there might be some bugs.

How it works

Upscaling works by rewriting pixels to enhance the picture quality. So, the AI takes the visual quality at 1080p and “upscales” it to 1440p. This is done through software and not hardware, so less work is put on graphic cards. Using AMD FSR 2.0 with Red Dead Redemption will improve the graphics on your gaming PC, whilst having smooth gameplay and higher frame rates.

You can download this mod from Nexusmods, this mod works by replacing the game’s Navidia DLSS library with AMD FSR 2.0 files (via Wccftech). Online players use at your own risk because messing with files can result in a server ban.

From watching MxBenchmarksPC video where they compared it to a different graphics mod you can see the difference it makes. The FSR mod has sharper graphics, the colour is more vibrant and the frame runs with higher frame rates. the only downside I noticed was that when there is movement from the main character the video quality becomes blurry.

As for the game itself, Red Dead Redemption 2 is one of Rockstar’s most successful releases, eating away at GTA 5. In fact, Red Dead is the highest-selling game of the past decade. Gamers have fallen in love with its gorgeous graphics, the quality of the writing, and the development of each character.
