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.

Activision has opened up access for players on all platforms to try the latest Call of Duty title Vanguard‘s multiplayer game mode for a week starting NOW!!! through to the 24th May.

Vanguard has not been a success by any means, with poor reception from players, a decrease in sales by 40% in comparison to the previous title Black Ops Cold War and a pure lack of excitement for another World War II shooter. Despite still being one of the best selling games of 2021, Call of Duty: Vanguard posted the worst franchise launch since 2007 for the FPS series in some regions, the series had been on an upwards trajectory with the huge release of 2019’s Modern Warfare, followed by the battle royale Warzone. However, Vanguard appears to have not “clicked” in terms of sales compared to other recent launches. So it is understandable that Activision are starting to push towards promoting the next release in the Call of Duty series Modern Warfare 2 with possible trailers for the upcoming game appearing very soon, want to know more about it read one of our other articles about Modern Warfare 2 here!

Nvidia partners with EA for developing the PC port of Battlefield 2042!

(Psst, get your pre-order bonuses or any other Battlefield games at our store folks. Heck, maybe get in on the Elden Ring extras while you’re around).

This collaboration on the PC port of the game will see many PC-specific upgrades that are beneficial to those with video cards. The PC Battlefield 2042 game will also be compatible with Nvidia Reflex, a feature that allows for greater responsiveness and option adjustments for mouse aiming. A segment from a recent statement Nvidia made reads as follows:

‘PC gamers will get a Battlefield 2042 experience like no other, because a PC allows you to enjoy higher detail levels, uncapped frame rates, and gameplay enhanced by variable refresh rate G-SYNC monitors, TVs and displays’.

‘Graphics on a PC are next-level with ray-traced ambient occlusion (available only on PC), and GeForce RTX-based PCs have dedicated RT cores to deliver excellent ray tracing performance’.

Other related tidbits on Battlefield 2042 include and are not limited to:

• First non-binary character in the franchise? Hell yeah!
• Fixing issues covered in a recent open beta test? Hell yeah!
• Various multiplayer funtimes including a Hazard Zone mode? Hell yeah!
• Being an online-exclusive game with no offline single player modes or story campaign?… No.

In addition, while all other versions of Battlefield 2042 will see big boi numbers of 128-player large matches, the PlayStation 4 version will be capped at 64 players with smaller versions of in-game maps (the latter could be an upside if you get lost easily though).

As of September, the game is set to release November 19th, with pre-orders for the Gold and Ultimate Editions receiving the game a week early according to EA.

Battlefield 2042 will be coming to PC as well as Xbox and Playstation consoles. Furthermore, EA DICE confirmed some features missing in the Beta will be smooshed into the game on release.

The post Battlefield 2042 PC Gameplay Capabilities first appeared on Get2Gaming.

The hardware specs required for the PC version of Back 4 Blood have been revealed. The apocalyptic FPS developed by Turtle Rock Studios is heavily inspired by the classic co-op shooter Left 4 Dead and has garnered much hype as it has been dubbed a spiritual successor. It is developed by the same team behind Left 4 Dead, who went on to establish themselves as a new studio for the game’s development.  Thankfully, there is no need to break the bank on upgrading to new and expensive hardware, as the game does not require extensive processing power to function.

Back 4 Blood PC Specs

Minimum requirements (1080p / 60fps / Low Quality Settings):

• OS: Windows 10
• Processor: i5-6600 (3.3 GHz) or AMD Ryzen 5 2600 (3.4 GHz)
• Memory: 8 GB RAM
• Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti or AMD Radeon RX 570
• DirectX: Version 12
• Storage: 40 GB available space

Recommended (1080p / 60fps / High Quality Settings):

• OS: Windows 10
• Processor: Intel Core i5-8400 (2.8 GHz) or AMD Ryzen 7 1800X (3.6 GHz)
• Memory: 12 GB RAM
• Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970 or AMD Radeon RX 590
• DirectX: Version 12
• Storage: 40 GB available space

As you can see here, the specs required to play the game should easily be within reach for most PC gamers.

What to Expect

The influence of Left 4 Dead is obvious throughout all aspects of Back 4 Blood, as players are tasked with shooting their way through endless hordes of parasite-riddled infected as they make their way between safe rooms.

The game is a co-op shooter with a lot of promise.  It builds upon the foundations established way back when Left 4 Dead was dominating the competition, maintaining a strong and loyal fanbase even to this day.

Back 4 Blood adds to Left 4 Dead’s flawless formula with the addition of a card-based perk system and incredibly satisfying gunplay. It includes an extensive armoury, as well as a variety of perks that can be customised to suit your own chosen playstyle. There will be eight characters to choose from, each with their own strengths and flaws, whereas Left 4 Dead’s character choice was purely for aesthetic purposes.

Alongside this, the game also features a varied cast of “Ridden” – the games infected adversaries. Each type of Special Ridden will have their own special attack, meaning players must be tactical in their approach in dealing with these gruesome monsters.

Back 4 Blood will be released on the 12th of October across all platforms. Pre-Order your PS4/PS5 copy from the store now! If you have pre-ordered the Ultimate Edition of Back 4 Blood, you will have early access starting from the 7th of October. Otherwise, its October 12th for all Standard Editions or via Game Pass on Xbox.

Mark your calendars, we've got a slaydate with the Ridden. #Back4Blood pic.twitter.com/2bqZAIFRmg

Call of Duty: Warzone was released back in early 2020 being one of the most anticipated releases at the time especially within the battle royale community. Its release took the battle royale scene by storm combining its Call of Duty first person shooter mechanics with the interesting battle royale features adding their own unique spin to it, making it a last man standing type of game, something that has never been done before within the Call of Duty franchise. Post-release they continue adding features to attempt to satisfy the Call of Duty: Warzone audience, including map changes, map additions, new operators, new finishers, new emotes and animations, new perks, new weaponry which are from Assault Rifles to Handguns to Melee weapons and many more other features and customisations. But it’s the new Combat Scout Perk that is the word on every Warzone player’s mouth and all for the wrong reasons.

What is the Combat Scout Perk?

With Warzone adding new features and customisations frequently, comes the most anticipated releases which are the new seasons. Call of Duty launched Season 5: Reloaded September 9^th on Warzone with a lot of high expectations. Collecting highly positive reviews and opinions but the one negative standing out is the Combat Scout Perk. The Combat Scout Perk is a new perk which allows players to track and highlight enemies for a short period of time by damaging them. It was released alongside the Tempered Perk in the Season 5 update. Formally being stated as “Damaging an enemy briefly highlights them for you and marks them for the entire squad”.

The new Combat Scout Perk looks great and not OP at all. pic.twitter.com/veGli1p2US

— CharlieIntel (@charlieINTEL) August 13, 2021

Whilst the Combat Scout Perk has a community of players against it, it also has a community of players that are for it, explaining that if there is a counter towards it, it should stand. That counter being another popular perk named as the Cold-Blooded Perk. “The Cold-Blooded perk makes you significantly harder to detect by enemies. Most AI targeting systems and thermal optics will not be able to find you, allowing for multiple surprise attacks that give you the advantage during enemy encounters”. This means that the Combat Scout Perk is completely ineffective towards users of the Cold-Blooded Perk which makes sense for the people who are for the Combat Scout Perk being in Call of Duty: Warzone.

What is next to come from Call of Duty: Warzone?

Besides the Combat Scout Perk being a controversial topic amongst the Warzone community, we do believe there may be slight adjustments to the perk without changing much that is major which will fit most Warzone players criteria. Now with the highly awaited Season 6: The Final Showdown coming out October 7^th which will feature loads of confirmed new content such as new weapons of different ranges, new operators, changes to the map (Verdansk), changes to the gulag and many more. We await to see if the changes to the Com bat Scout Perk that the fans are hoping for will come into play this week. Stay tuned in! Call of Duty: Warzone is about to get even better!

The post Combat Scout perk deemed as “OP” as Call of Duty: Warzone players demand a change first appeared on Get2Gaming.

Recently, the Modding team Known as SoMNst Released a 37 minute video showing the latest update to their “No VR” mod, an add-on to the critically acclaimed 2020 entry in the legendary “Half-Life”. The mod aims to make the game playable without the need for a VR headset.

Half Life Alyx Released on the 23rd of march, 2020, 13 years after the franchise’s last instalment “Half-Life 2, Episode 2”, which notoriously ended with the shocking death of beloved side character and father of player companion Alyx, Eli Vance. “Half Life: Alyx” itself was a spin off, set before mute theoretical theorist Gordon Freeman was re-inserted into the world by the extra dimensional G-man at the start of Half life 2. The story Follows Alyx Vance as she works to establish a Resistance against The Combine, an interdimensional alien race summoned to earth during the resonance cascade event of the original 1997 Half-Life.

The Half-Life series has always aimed to be on the cutting edge of games technology. The original game, released in 1997, was a huge leap forward for narrative in video games, and especially in the first person shooter genre, with subtle world building and environmental storytelling at the forefront of the experience. Its sequel, released originally in 2004, was a technological marvel, introducing real time physics simulation to the world of gaming, as well as some truly phenomenal facial animations that still help the game look Spectacular today, almost 2 decades later. Alyx continued this trend, being one of the most deep and content rich games for VR to date, with the game dumping the predecessors action tone and instead relying much more on horror to guide the experience.

However this reliance on VR technology has left many unable to experience the game due to the costs of owning such a device. This is where the no VR mod comes in. The mods goal is to remove the need for a VR headset and motion controls. Within the 37 minutes of in-development footage released on September 25th, Mod developers SoMNst show off some of their solutions to make the game work from a more traditional first person perspective. 

For example, very early on in the game you are given a number of pens and an eraser, and while in VR you are able to write on the windows of protagonist Alyx’s hideout. The mod works around this functionality by snapping the pen to the point on the screen where a gun would be held in a normal FPS and then snapping it to the window on a left click. The Demo Footage illustrates this by using these pens to carefully draw an image of the series Protagonist Gordon Freeman. 

In another instance, A door that would normally require the act of the player physically grabbing it with their VR controller to open, has been replaced with a hand icon that responds to a left click, similar to games like “Amnesia” and “SOMA”. For a more in-depth look, you can watch the entire 37 Minute Video below.

The mod is still in development. No final release date has been stated by any of the developers and the development builds are not currently available to the public. However the footage does look very promising and with any luck it will not be long until you are able to play the game with a mouse and keyboard yourself. Half-Life: Alyx is available right now from Steam.

As many of you will know, whether you care or not, the Call of Duty Vanguard Open Beta was live this weekend, being extended until the 22nd of September. I’ve been playing a bit on PS5, and here are some thoughts on the trial run of the following installation to the Call of Duty franchise.

https://twitter.com/i/status/1439288151529381888

Although the world war II era has been repeatedly created by multiple games companies, this game really gives off those Call of Duty World at War vibes, especially when you release the hounds once reaching a ten-kill streak. The MP40 is back and an overpowered juggernaut of an SMG, while the STG remains dominant in the assault rifle category.

It’s a Beta; there will be bugs; everybody knows this. There was no exception here. The sound is the worst of any FPS I’ve ever played and is as if enemies were constantly running on Dead Silence, which the developers have made clear through in-game notifications they know and will rectify for the main game, so they say. There are some visual issues now and then with a flickering of objects and walls. It was only a 9GB download after all.

The vision whilst firing weapons have been complained about by various streamers, and I must agree. The flash of some of the guns, along with the heavy recoil, makes it difficult to see where you’re aiming, which the developers stated they will look at. Again, proving the importance of Betas releasing with enough time for fixes.

Now for controller players, you’ll know what aim assist is, and for PC players, you may hate it for sound reasoning in this game. The aim assist is so strong it will track enemies through walls and pull your character around. Keyboard and mouse players may have an argument for the “legal aimbot” claim that controller players have because if this isn’t fixed for the launch, that’s what it’ll be! Although the strength of aim assist is adjustable, tracking such as this is going too far.

Most of the game modes were like the standard, apart from you can choose how intense you want the action, with how many players are on each team. The 18v18 player games are nothing short of hectic and fun. The main reasoning for playing a game in the first place, so that box is ticked. Running on an improved engine to what Modern Warfare runs on, it’s pretty smooth compared to the Cold War title as well.

The new mode, Champion Hill, is excellent!

A refreshing 2v2 game type that is highly tactical, campy at times, and intense. Each team starts with 12 lives to be whittled down, with buy rounds every few games to upgrade, buy perks, new weapons, UAVs, armour, even more lives and other items to improve your chances of taking the win.

The addition of a destructive environment is welcomed, but it’s not on a Battlefield scale. Mostly wooden plank walls to smash through like you’re the terminator, doors and windows to destroy, which can occasionally give you a tactical advantage. Creating small holes to fire through until an enemy gamer susses you out and flings a grenade you’re way. Should stop camping, I guess.

With some more fine-tuning, this will be a great game, which personally I’ll be buying. You can give your own feedback to Sledgehammer games if you’ve been playing over the weekend and Call of Duty through Twitter which, by the looks of their tweets, are listening to the community to make the game better. You can pre-order a copy here and jump into the action on the 5th of November. Let us know in the comments below you’re thoughts on the Beta.

It is a sad day for all tap-strafers out there…

Apex Legends developer, Respawn Entertainment, has announced that they will be removing the popular movement technique, tap-strafing, from the game in the upcoming 10.1 patch.

The movement technique is one utilised by the most skilled PC players. It involves turning and strafing more quickly by repeatedly pressing the forward movement key by binding movement to the scroll wheel. We haven’t received exact details of how the developers intend to eradicate the technique, but more details will be revealed in the 10.1 patch notes.

After much consideration and debate, we've decided to remove tap-strafing from @playapex in patch 10.1.

Our reasoning: It's inaccessible, lacks readability/counterplay, and is exacerbated by movement abilities.

The next patch notes will include a more detailed note about this.

— Respawn (@Respawn) August 31, 2021

Performing the technique correctly involves sliding, jumping, and strafing simultaneously, as well as binding the Move Forward command to a mouse scroll wheel. Tap-strafing requires several keys to be pressed simultaneously, alongside an extra input on one’s mouse. Therefore, it can’t be utilised by controller players. This is of extreme significance as one of Apex’s biggest recent changes was the addition of crossplay, allowing PC players to play against console players (or with). Mouse and Keyboard (M&K, henceforth) players typically have an advantage over controller users due to having more command options (through the number of key bindings available) and having more precise aim once mastering one’s mouse. Of course, console players are granted aim assist to compensate for the M&K aim disparity, but even with assistance, the relative inaccuracy of a controller is significant. Therefore, having a highly effective movement technique only available to PC players enhances their advantage further and makes it near impossible for console users to compete. This has been recognised by Respawn and hence, is their reasoning for this latest change. The goal is to even the playing surface a little more.

The news has not been warmly received by many among the PC Apex community. Prominent Apex streamer nokokopuffs bluntly responded to the tweet, saying: “Actually sh**tiest decision ever made.” NRG member and streamer Rogue also responded, asking Respawn to “change this decision.” Both tweets have thousands of likes, and the majority of other tweets appear to be complaining about how console players get help with their play, but PC players have had the tap-strafe advantage taken away from them. I personally agree with the developers; even with the controller’s aim assist, M&K users already have an advantage relative to their console counterparts in both movement and accuracy. Therefore, I believe the tap-strafing mechanic’s removal is the correct decision. Regardless of the change, there will always be negative feedback from community members who heavily utilise a soon to be removed technique.

Whilst some, like myself, agree with the decision, the mechanic’s removal has sparked the conversation about whether tap-strafing is truly an “advanced” move. Interestingly, Respawn’s comment that it is “exacerbated by movement abilities” is pretty clear when you see that Octane is by far the most chosen legend. Evidently, the high-speed Legend can utilise the technique the best competitively, reflected by his selection rate.

Battlefield 1 is due for release in late October and is currently in a closed alpha mode which only a handful of people have access to. The rest of us are all waiting for the beta to release which could be sooner than you think.

The Battlefield community manager of Germany, Sebastian Moritz, has confirmed that the beta will be released “shortly after” gamescom. Moritz revealed this during a livestream with a Twitch streamer named CommanderKrieger.

The announcement was in German but was translated by Reddit and Twitter user, Patrick K.

Gamescom takes place from 17^th August to 21^st August so we could definitely see the beta before the beginning of September.

Battlefield insiders will get early access to the beta, up to three days before everyone else.

Just remember, this isn’t the completed game!
