SNK’s next game in the “King of Fighters” series  is set to launch soon and will be available in beta on PS4 and PS5 in “less than a month”.

During Play station’s “state of play” stream yesterday, SNK introduced “King of Fighters XV”’s latest character, Dolores, and also gave details on the upcoming beta for the game

.

The open beta will begin at 3am GMT on the 20th of November, and run until the 23rd of November at 2.59 am. The beta will have access to Delores, along with all of the other King of Fighters characters currently confirmed for the game. The game itself will launch properly on the 17th of February, 2022

“King of fighters” is one of the older fighting game franchises out there, starting back in 1994, with the last entry coming out back in 2016 with “king of fighters XIV”. The Franchise regularly gets airtime at EVO, effectively the fighting game Olympics, and that was actually where “King of Fighter XV” was originally announced.

The word Beta is screaming out here for Battlefield 2042. Please remember before the critics come running out and disowning a game a month before the official release. This is for testing bugs of the final product, and there may well be bugs at launch; luckily, it’s 2021, and fixes will be available. DICE themselves have already stated that the Beta is ‘months old’ and the wrinkles should be ironed out by release or already have been.

The time for eager fans of games to hype up release so much that if it’s not perfect on release is a terrible game should be a thing of the past. This ought to have been learned a year ago.   

So far, the gameplay is a refreshing take on the FPS game industry needed since Battlefield 4 was released in 2014.

Apart from the occasional frame drops, no other bugs were experienced from the first play. However, after a few hours of extensive gameplay, more became apparent. Bright flickering randomly and a wobbly screen whilst a passenger in offensive vehicles were the most notable.

The map, Orbital, is massive and, so far, haven’t managed to traverse through most of it, mostly lingering around the rocket to catch a glimpse of it taking off. This I managed to gain from a front-row seat, ziplining up the metal structure close to the event, and pitching a tent. Yes, it got a bit boring, but I did catch the occasional opposition players off guard when trying to do the same. It’s good to note here that this event is random and doesn’t happen in every game.

The event is so immersive, and the DualShock 5 came into its element with its haptic feedback function. This function did have a mind of its own, though, as sometimes would switch off completely. The rocket can also be destroyed mid-take-off via player interaction.

The guns shot through the PlayStations Dual Shock 5 controller feels solid and realistic to the feel. Still, the adaptive trigger doesn’t seem to be utilised so far, something that many decide to disable anyway, especially if it’s as distracting as to how strong Call of Duty Cold War made it.

The plus system is excellent! The smoothness of this system is a crucial factor here. From experience, there was no lag time and didn’t hinder performance. Obviously, there’s a time, and a place to be using this, in the middle of a gunfight wouldn’t be ideal. Switching the attachments for the positions you find yourself in, whether close quarters, mid-range or long distance, there are attachments available for all. The one problem experienced, though, was sometimes selecting a specific attachment would fail and select the next one, but quickly rectifiable.

If you’re keen on the game from the Open Beta over the weekend, you can grab a pre-order for the Go2Games store on old-gen and new-gen consoles here!

The post Battlefield 2042’s Beta is live, and we’ve jumped straight into the battle on PS5 first appeared on Get2Gaming.

Upon initially becoming available for pre-order, a cross-gen bundle was only available for the premium versions of Battlefield 2042, currently in development by Dice.

However, EA said “We realise that for many, next gen is still hard to come by” on Tuesday.

They went on to say:

“We want as many Battlefield fans as possible to start the journey with us on day one, and we want to give those players the peace of mind that their progress carries over if they get a new system this holiday season, or beyond.”

This announcement means that players who are planning to purchase next-gen consoles in the future will have the option to pay a fee to upgrade their version of the game and carry over their progress to the new console. Players can pay £10 to upgrade digital versions of the game within their chosen family of consoles. This will provide access to the game on both systems.

Battlefield 2042 is the latest entry into the Battlefield franchise, and the multiplayer only title will support 128-player matches on next-gen consoles and PC. Xbox One and PS4 players however will be restricted to 64 –player matches, and the map sizes will be reduced to make up for the difference in processing power.

At this time the feature has only been announced to be available for digital copies of Battlefield 2042, so it appears that physical copies of the game may not have access to the upgrade.

The Battlefield 2042 Beta is available in early access now. The open beta goes live on the 8^th of October and runs until the 10^th of October. Here is how to get beta access! The game is expected to release on November 19th 2021.

Pre-order your copy from the store now! Or why not try one of the previous titles from the series while you wait?

StarCraft II: Legacy of the Void receives a FREE prologue and a July Beta

Legacy of the Void is planning to give all of you StarCraft fans out there a few free missions before the initial expansion’s release. 

Legacy of the Void is the latest expansion for StarCraft II, although it’s release date is yet to be announced. Developer Blizzard is making a prologue for the expansion, to hold players over. The prologue is titled Whispers of Oblivion and will have three missions, including the first focusing on Zeratul, since the Wings of Liberty expansion. According to Blizzard, Whispers of Oblivion is meant to fill the story gap between Heart of the Swarm, which was StarCraft II’s previous expansion, and the upcoming Legacy of the Void. Players will join Zeratul for the first time since Wings of Liberty to unravel the final piece of the Xel’naga prophecy, in the prologue.

In addition to the prologue, Blizzard have also announced that the expansion will be receiving a further beta test in July this year. 

You can take a look at Whispers of Oblivion below, but some content may be unsuitable for younger viewers. Just to warn you!
