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.

Anyone out here looking for a bit of gaming on their LG Smart TV? No? There’s got to be someone out there surely. Well if you are, and you happen to be reading this article, well then you’re in for a treat! News has just come in that the Google Stadia cloud gaming service is available on LG smart TVs running webOS 5.0 or webOS 6.0. That’s just the news you want to be hearing if you recently took advantage of those TV Black Friday deals!

According to reports, the Stadia app will be available to download from the LG Content store in the US and 21 other countries. This is much bigger news than it seems too, as gamers will have access to more than 200 games without having to plug a device into their TV. Not only this, but you won’t even have to downloaded gigabytes of data first. You know what, fair enough, maybe I haven’t given this the credit it deserves, that’s pretty amazing!

Obviously, you’ll still need a controller, but thats the only piece of equipment it looks like. With only a £10 subscription charge, you can play more than 30 games with no additional charges. Moreover, the app will support 4K HDR and graphics hitting 60 fps. This is exactly what any gamer wants to hear isn’t it?

No Need For Google Chromecast With Stadia Introduction

Have we got your attention now then? It’s certainly got mine! Might have to go out and buy an LG TV as soon as possible now. If you’re still not entirely sold, wait till you hear this.

Due to the fact Stadia can stream games directly on your LG TV, this’ll mean you won’t need additional devices like Chromecast. As such, you could potentially be saving loads of your hard earned cash. What’s not to love about that?

Additionally, it seems that playing through the LG TV you won’t suffer from as much lag. This i because they have easily accessible Ethernet ports for you to keep games going smoothly. Obviously, this’ll come in very handy when in those late night sessions which becomes periods of frustration when the game starts to slow down.

If you want to know what else Stadia works with, well we’ve got you covered for that too! The app functions on Chromecast Ultra, the new Chromecast with Google TV, NVIDIA Shield TV and Shield TV Pro, One FHD Streaming Stick, Philips Android TVs, the TCL 5-Series and 6-Series, the Xiaomi Mibox 3 and Mibox 4, and the Hisense U7G, U8G, and U9G.

So there we have it! As previously mentioned, I certainly underestimated how impressive this all is. We wonder if there will be any of this years game of the year nominees available on the app. Similarly, make sure to visit our store to check out the ones which you can purchase right away!

The heavily delayed followup/spin off of rainbow six: Siege may finally have a release date, or so a recent leak would suggest.

Rainbow Six Extraction was first announced in 2019, but was then delayed due to Covid 19 in 2020, before being delayed Again to January 2022 a few months back. Before now that was all we new: the game was intended to release in January 2022, but no definitive release date, just the month. That may just have changed

What is “Rainbow 6: Extraction”

“Rainbow six Q̶u̶a̶r̶e̶n̶t̶i̶n̶e̶ P̶a̶r̶a̶s̶i̶t̶e̶ Extraction” is a spin off of the popular Tactical FPS game “Rainbow 6: Siege”, but is more specifically a spinoff of the 2018 limited time mode “Outbreak” in which Players faced off against aliens in New Mexico.

In Extraction, a team of 3 players will be tasked with “Infiltrating” Alien infested locations and making their way through them. Along the way they will need to complete side objectives, from recovering lost team mates to killing key targets or collecting samples.

The Alien Threat you will face down are the “Archeans”, Parasitic lifeforms that spread a goo-like substance called the sprawl. While walking on sprawl, Players will be slower while Aliens will be buffed. Alongside the standard Alien threats there are numerous specialised variants of aliens that do different things.

Despite all this sounding… Kinda weird for a spinoff of a formerly very realistic/Realism adjacent Series like Rainbow 6, it should be noted that Extraction is set on a timeline split that originates from the outbreak event. That, and this isn’t even the weirdest Spinoff Rainbow six has had, even recently. Lets not forget that Very Recently 4 Rainbow ops were blasted into an alternate universe of anime catgirls. Yes, Really.

So when is the game coming out?

Again, as of now, Ubisoft’s official word on the release date of rainbow 6 Extraction is “January”. But thanks to a blogpost on ubisoft’s official website.According to a post on Ubisofts website, the Release date is January 20th, 2022. This has yet to be confirmed by Ubisoft themselves and while certain Publications have reached out from comment, nothing has come through yet.

The Delay was originally announced alongside a delay for Riders republic, which has yet to get any sort of word on when it is going to be released.

“Rainbow Six: Extraction” is set to release on Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, the Ubisoft Store on Windows PC, and Stadia

Using your phone as a controller now possible with Google Stadia

Google has revealed a new feature Google has added “Phone Link” to Stadia, allowing you to play games using your smartphone as a gamepad on Android TV devices, your Chromecast, and through a web browser. Previously, Stadia required that you have a dedicated Stadia controller to play games using the service; you can use the phone link to connect a third-party gamepad. These include Xbox and PlayStation controllers that can be connected through Bluetooth, wifi, or USB via the Phone Link accessory.

To connect and utilize this is simple, the “controller” icon has to be pressed in the Stadia app, and “Phone touch gamepad” would then be connected. Tapping this will launch a new menu that confirms that you can use your phone as a virtual controller to play on any screen. To utilize this fully, one would have to use the same Wi-fi network to operate this within a local server.

Stadia’s “bridge mode” is very helpful in this instance. The game streaming platform will immediately recognize any controllers connected to your smartphone via Bluetooth or wired connection. Once connected, the controls on the screen disappear and you will have gaming access for your phone; with this, “Playing on TV” is shown on the screen.

You can use your phone as a bridge to connect unsupported controllers to your TV for playing. With Phone Link utilized, you can connect third-party controllers to your smartphone and then have those controllers work when playing on your TV.

YouTube channel 9to5Google has outlined much of its setup here:

Using your phone screen as a controller may not work for many 3D games due to the lack of tactile controls. This means it lacks the precision of an actual gamepad. But, if you don’t have enough controllers for a multiplayer experience, it is a useful tool.

Stadia’s “Phone Link” tool is available to use now.
