Cyberpunk: Edgerunners: A Neon coloured miracle.

When you bring up the word Cyberpunk or Edgerunners in conversation in today’s day and age, you’re bound to conjure several images in people’s minds. Most would think of pictures of chromed-up bikers with monoband sunglasses and neon flooded streets. Those old enough to remember the original role-playing game will probably smile at fond memories of a rich world and characters. But say Cyberpunk to a gamer, and they would probably scowl, remembering the hype train around Cyberpunk 2077 derailing into a bug-filled crash on launch.

That is, until now. September saw the release of the anime “Cyberpunk: Edgerunners” on Netflix to critical acclaim from the anime community; Studio Trigger’s short ten-episode foray into the streets of Night City has served as a metaphorical adrenaline shot for what many saw as a slowly fading fandom. Without going into spoiler territory, the anime follows the path of David Martinez, a young Night City resident with a particular talent for enduring augmentation at a far higher threshold than most are capable of before being sent on an adventure within the setting.

That setting is perhaps the single most universally agreed upon masterstroke of CD Projekt Red’s 2020 RPG, a strong base that required time to correct that most would not give it. But correct and develop, they did, slowly but surely bringing 2077 up to the standard that lived up to the hype garnered during its fraught development cycle, even if by that point, most players had left the game for greener pastures. However, Edgerunners has changed that, using a combination of Studio Trigger’s expert writing and animation within the established world of 2077 to catch the attention of an audience on Netflix and, after showing them just how rich of a world Night City presents, sets them loose to play the game again.

With the addition of the Edgerunners update (patch 1.6), all augmentations, weapons and playstyles shown off by the characters in the anime can be emulated to perfection in-game, meaning that new and returning players alike can burn the city like their new favourite cyberpunks. And not only is it possible to rule the night as David or Rebecca, but it’s also optimal.

The Statistics

When you pair that with a deeply emotional and fast-paced show with high-quality acting from the likes of Giancarlo Esposito, it shows the audience what is possible within the setting and game, inspiring a colossal upswing in player count.

As shown in the above image, in August of 2022, the average player count for Cyberpunk 2077 was approximately 10,000 with a peak of 18,700, but with the release of Edgerunners, the average player count has more than doubled with the peak playerbase at a staggering 86,000 on Steam alone (Source: Steam Charts). As the show grows bigger, quickly becoming a classic, the word of mouth of Cyberpunk disseminated amongst well-known gaming personalities, bowling over those like the auteur Hideo Kojima by the show’s quality which bleeds over into the game itself:

1/2
I just watched "Cyberpunk Edgerunners" in one sitting! Awesome! Great! Under the recent domestic anime situation, there was a feeling that famous Japanese studios were consumed by the overseas market, but not this one! This is a miracle of squeezing the trigger to the world! pic.twitter.com/Q2fzRJDAVw

What does this mean for Cyberpunk 2077 and its future? The playerbase is quickly returning or discovering the world is much better than when they left it and having much more fun with the game than was possible. With more updates like the Edgerunner update on the horizon, there is the incentive and proof that not only is 2077 worth sinking time into and will keep expanding in the coming months and years. It’s safe to say that Cyberpunk Edgerunners is a beacon of showing just how much story and setting content and quality the game can provide, dragging 2077 back from the edge of obscurity and into the neon-drenched light of a cult classic.

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.

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

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.

Thanks to RealIndica you can now play RDR2 with AMD FSR 2.0

This mod is based on the Cyberpunk 2077 FSR 2.0 mod created by PotatoOfDoom for cyberpunk 2077. It brings AMD’s FideltyFX Super Resolution 2.0 to Red Dead Redemption 2. This mod replaces DLSS with FSR 2.0. 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.

A remake of the cult classic ‘Lollipop Chainsaw’has been announced by Dragami games.

Publisher Dragami games has announced that it is developing a remake of the cult-classic action game Lollipop Chainsaw.

The remake is slated for a 2023 release however no consoles have been announced for the game to be released on so far.

Yoshimi Yasuda was previously the CEO of the company Kadokawa Games, which published Lollipop Chainsaw. He was also the executive producer on the game.

Yasuda left Kadokawa Games recently, and established a new company ‘Dragami Games’ , and now he has confirmed that remaking Lollipop Chainsaw is one of the company’s first projects.

In a tweet posted online , Yasuda said: “Unfortunately, various factors resulted in things making it so that fans can no longer easily play Lollipop Chainsaw, and it has been some time since players have not been able to access the game on current consoles.”

He also goes on to say:

We, the original development staff on Lollipop Chainsaw, think of the game as very precious to us, and did not want to leave it in limbo, where players who want to play it cannot.

Yasuda purchased the intellectual property rights from Kadokawa games, so they could remake the game. He also contacted  Warner Bros [who were the game publishers outside of Asia] about development, and are being supported by them to remake the game.

Yasuda said that while most of the original staff are working on the remake, some parts of the game will be different from the original ,released just over 10 years ago.

For example, many of the licensed tracks from the original soundtrack will have to be substituted with new original music.

He then talks more about the remake:

“Additionally, since we have access to consoles with higher specifications, we will be taking a more realistic approach to the graphics this time.” This could make the game seem very different, as the originals wacky charm was only exemplified by the arcade look and feel.

“In any case, our goal is to make it easier for gamers who want to play Lollipop Chainsaw to do so. Please look forward to the game’s 2023 release.”

The game was originally released in 2012 for ps3 and Xbox 360, and never saw a re-release or a PC release.

RockStar Scrapping Remasters For both Red Dead Redemption as well as GTA 4

A Insider at Rockstar games known as tez2 has claimed that the RockStar have supposedly scrapped both projects. He found claimed on Twitter That both games will not be coming to fruition. He leaked this information accurately due to the company past with GTA online content within the source code.

According to a Reliable source Rockstar was clear on there motives with the two titles. Both a Remaster of both GTA 4 and Red Dead Redemption were coming to next generation consoles. This was on the table for the company , but they instead decided to not go ahead with the projects as they believed the remakes would not be well perceived. saying that ”The poor reception of the trilogy DE might be a reason behind that decision.”

GTA trilogy definitive edition – Switch Gameplay

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4A_00oqztlc

Rockstar Released the brand new Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – Definitive edition in early November 2021. Rockstar promised a modern Remaster of All the GTA titles From Grand Theft Auto III, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City and Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.

With Any new release there will be expected hiccups naturally. The game was release with a high number of technical issues as well as game files and documents which wasn’t meant to stay in the games files. Files such as Unlicensed music and developer notes , which could show data miners the plans for the games future hidden within the game itself. This would be good information for Data miners to find and leak to the gaming community which would build hype of said plans coming to the game. On the other hand Rockstar like to keep what they are planning and working on a secret so they would have removed these documents as to not spoil their potential plans.

Rockstar apologized for the state of the game to the fans and they had promised the community they would update the game to fix the current state of the game. They mentioned updating regularly to for fill this promise to the community.

https://twitter.com/TezFunz2/status/1543974193259319303?s=20&t=MK9GNE8TsW9irKm45SZsXw

Even with the many issues with the launch of the title Take-Two Interaction (Rockstar parent company).

CEO Strauss Zelnick claimed in January that the games launch of the GTA trilogy had performed ”great” since its release January. The sales figures for the game in February had sold 10 million copies since its release in November.

Original Vs Remaster

From the images above you can see on the Left is the first release of the game back in 2008 and the right in 2022. You can see the graphical different between the two images , the 2022 remaster does a perfect job of bringing us the same game and feel but making it look beautiful.

The main difference between these new titles are as follows: graphics modes, improved texture qualities, HDR options and ray tracing, faster loading, GTA Online Profile migration. However The visuals were shortly look past by the the many bugs presented in the game on launch but Rockstar have promised to fix them with regular updates.

However Modders have taken things into there own hands by trying to improve the games performance to help save the title from failing. Modders say they want Rockstar to make big changes to help the titles major flaws. These flaws have put some Gamers off GTA due to how negligent Rockstar can be towards certain titles or bugs etc.

The post Red dead & GTA 4 Remasters Scraped ? first appeared on Get2Gaming.

According to the game post, Bungie (the developers of games such as halo and destiny) have been spotted creating a collaboration with a rising titan within the Chinese gaming industry, NetEase.

This collaboration is said to be for producing the new “unannounced FPS mobile game” which happens to be alongside the claim that NetEase has on a new Destiny game for well over two years, as well as the fact that it seems to be a new title instead of a mobile version of Destiny 2. Furthermore TGP reported last year on a large amount of job listings for a mobile title in the Destiny franchise.

To top that all off there’s more information about Bungie beginning work on their own game engine for mobile, seemingly taking them one step closer to the mobile market of gaming. This plan is only furthered more by their partnership with NetEase due to NetEase’s expertise in the mobile gaming industry.

Quite a few videos have been made covering the topic and the post announcing this information that was gathered from a LinkedIn profile of an game artist at NetEase.

the CEO of Bungie, Pete Parsons has said that NetEase has “a significant amount of experience in mobile we don’t have” as well as the fact that the partnership will allow them to “incubate new ideas”. Furthermore Pete said “We want to be able to build games that are inspiring people from around the world, and this partnership in part will allow us to do that, to begin that incubation and development process in a real way,” which further shows both sides devotion to the concept of a mobile Destiny game as well as Bungies devotion to entering the mobile gaming industry.

Sony stated in early January of this year that they intend to acquire Bungie in a deal worth over 3 billion, which relates further to Bungies other aims at expanding the Destiny universe, such as they’re active attempts at hiring to get into the filming industry, that of which is being furthered and realised due to the acquisition by Sony. Totaki stated that “Bungie want to nurture the IP they have in a multi-dimensional manner” – “For that, we believe we can help” – “Bungie can leverage our platform so that their IP can flourish and grow”, allowing Bungie the ability to utilize their Platform as a home for the new project supposedly in the works.

In preparation for it’s release next month, Nintendo dedicates a solo direct for Xenoblade Chronicles 3

The Xenoblade Chronicles line of games serves as a subseries of the “Xeno” series, but has stood out from its origin. First releasing on the Nintendo Wii in 2010, the series has gone on to have five more releases, as well as have protagonists Shulk and the duo, Pyra and Mythra star in the Super Smash Bros. series. With the later renewing interest in the series since March 2021, the series’ next installment is here, releasing on the 29th July.

At 3pm on the 22nd June, Xenoblade Chronicles 3 will have its on Nintendo Direct, according to Nintendo, will feature “rough 20 minutes of information”. Originally planned for a September release, Nintendo revealed in April that it was brought forward to July, likely to prevent conflicting with Splatoon 3.

Tune in on 22/06 at 16:00 CEST for a livestreamed #XenobladeChronicles3 Direct presentation featuring roughly 20 minutes of information about the upcoming RPG adventure for #NintendoSwitch.

Interestingly, Xenoblade Chronicles 3 will feature a story that ties the first two games together, whilst featuring two new protagonists, Noah and Mio, with ‘life’ being the central theme. Whilst the protagonist of the first game, Shulk appears in the sequel, it is only minor, as a “Blade”, a weaponised life form.

Despite the earlier release, the Collector’s Edition, featuring physical merchandise, such as a SteelBook case, softcover concept art book and outer box packaging has been delayed to approximately Autumn 2022. Those who purchase it will only receive the game until the merchandise is available at a later date.

The direct can be accessed here, airing on YouTube.
