Battlefield 2042 February 3.3 Update Delayed to March to “Improve Quality of Updates”

  by   Alex Co  
4:47 am in News

Back in January, DICE announced that Battlefield 2042 players would be getting a refreshed scoreboard and more in patch 3.3, which is scheduled for release in “mid to late” February. Unfortunately, that’s not going to happen this month. Included in today’s hotfix roll out is the announcement that the Battlefield 2042 February 3.3 update is being delayed to “early March.”

Here’s the announcement by DICE:

Our next Update after todays Hotfix will now roll out in early March. This is a change from our last messaging to you all on it’s intended release.

The extra time will help to ensure we improve the quality of our Updates, and include additional changes.

This is a bummer to hear for sure. Of course, given how there are issues connected to the patches DICE rolls out, this might be for the best. I mean, who’d want to have issues brought in by new patches that should be fixing issues in the first place, right?

In other Battlefield 2042 news, EA has admitted that the game failed to meet expectations. However, the publisher also believes DICE can turn things around since they’ve done it numerous times before.

Battlefield 2042 Update 1.000.009 Patch Notes | BF2042 Update 1.000.009 Patch Notes:

Size: 425MB (PlayStation)

Here’s the announcement from DICE regarding today’s patch:

We’ve just made a small #Battlefield2042 hotfix available across all platforms to address areas of game instability that we’ve noticed after the release of Update #3.2.

There’s zero downtime, so you’ll be good to jump in and play once you have it downloaded at 9AM UTC

Also of note, those on PS4 and Xbox One, Renewal is back onto the map rotation after being pulled out last month!

Sadly, that seems to be it. There are no gameplay-related changes to today’s patch as far as we’re aware. If we spot anything, we’ll let our readers know.

Battlefield 2042 Update 1.08 Rolled Out This February 3

  by   Alex Co  
4:27 am in News

DICE has released an unannounced patch for Battlefield 2042! The Battlefield 2042 update 1.08 is out now on all platforms, and doesn’t add any new content, nor does it include any major gameplay-related changes. Read up on the Battlefield 2042 Feb. 3 patch notes below.

Battlefield 2042 Update 1.08 Patch Notes | Battlefield 2042 Feb. 3 Patch Notes | BF2042 Update 1.08 Patch Notes:

Here’s DICE’s announcement regarding the patch:

We’ve just made a small #Battlefield2042 hotfix available across all platforms to address areas of game instability that we’ve noticed after the release of Update #3.2.

There’s zero downtime, so you’ll be good to jump in and play once you have it downloaded at 9AM UTC

In addition to that, Renewal is now back into the rotation for Xbox One, and PS4 gamers after being pulled due to instability issues.

That’s about it for this patch. If you’re disappointed that it didn’t include any gameplay-related changes, you’re not the only one. Speaking of which, EA admitted earlier this week that Battlefield 2042’s sales didn’t meet expectations. However, EA boss Andrew Wilson is confident that DICE can turn things around since they’ve done it “a number of times” already.

If there are any other gameplay-related changes, or whatever that’s not mentioned above, we’ll update the post.

  by   Damien Seeto  
February 2, 2022 6:20 pm in News

Polyphony Digital has now revealed the Gran Turismo 7 State of Play video in full today. The video in question tells us more about the new gameplay features that will be a part of the full game.

Aside from showing us a ton of new Gran Turismo 7 gameplay running on the PS5, the developer also discussed more about the new game modes, as well as an in-depth look at the new weather system, photo mode, and so much more!

Down below you can read our short summary of the 30 minute video, though if you are more interested in watching you can also do so below.

  • First Polyphony Digital reiterated that Gran Turismo 7 is aimed towards all gamers. Whether you are a beginner or a car enthusiast, there is something for everyone in the game to look forward to.
  • The developer then showed the ‘World Map’ of the game looking at all of the game modes. The modes are ‘Mission’, ‘License’, ‘Used Cars’, ‘Brand Central’, ‘Sports’, ‘Scrapes’, ‘World Circuits’, ‘Cafe’, ‘Garage’, ‘Legendary Cars’, ‘Showcase’, ‘Tuning Shop’, ‘Custom’ and ‘Multiplayer’.
  • There are over 400 cars (more coming post launch) available at the game at launch. You can buy cars in three different categories. Brand Central offers new cars for you to buy. You can also buy cheaper models in the Used Cars section. Used Cars are rotated daily. Lastly, you can get Legendary Cars which offer vintage vehicles from the 20th century.
  • There are over 34 locations in the game with over 90 different track layouts. The game has a mix of real-world style tracks as well as some created race tracks from older games.
  • World Circuits offer many different race modes including: ‘Over 100 race events, ‘Circuit Experience’, ‘Time Trial’, ‘Drift Trial’, ‘Custom Races’ and ‘Meeting Place’.
  • There are two main Graphics Modes. One is Frame Rate which prioritizes 60 fps during gameplay. The game also offers a Ray Tracing mode for race replays, 3D stages and Photo Mode.
  • The game offers 75 music artists and has 300 music tracks. The genres covered are ‘Classic’, ‘Jazz’, ‘Hip Hop’, ‘Electro’ and ‘Lounge’.
  • Speaking of music, there is a new game mode called ‘Music Rally’. This is a mode where you can relax and listen to the music while driving. Music from past Gran Turismo games are included too!
  • The PS5 version of the game offers 3D Audio and Haptic Feedback.
  • You can still tune cars to your heart’s content allowing you to drive the way you want.
  • They have extended the car customization allowing you to place stickers in places you couldn’t before. You can also download designs to use from the online community.
  • There are two new game modes called ‘Gran Turismo Cafe’ and ‘Scrapes’. The cafe has info on cars, while Scrapes is where you can take realistic photos.
  • Both online multiplayer and split-screen multiplayer is included.
  • The game will also offer realistic weather effects as well as day and night cycle for some tracks. The car physics are also the most realistic they have ever been.

Gran Turismo 7 State of Play Gameplay

That’s all of the info that we could summarize from the State of Play event. The game will be out on March 4, 2022 for the PS5 and PS4 consoles.

Neverwinter Update 10.01 Patch Notes | Neverwinter Feb. 2 Patch Notes:

Highlights

  • A crash that affected a high number of players on PlayStation® systems has been addressed.

 

Known Issues – Remaining

Character Art Visuals

  • Ancient Scalebreaker’s Barbute is incorrectly invisible on male dragonborn characters.

Refinement and Enchantments

  • The new enchantments currently cannot be donated to the Gems category of the Stronghold Coffer. While this is correct for reclaimable versions of these enchantments, we plan to allow donation of enchantments earned through gameplay or purchase.

 

Content and Environment

Tutorial Quests

  • Wooden Insignias no longer disappear when swapping with a standard insignia, and then swapping back.

 

Combat and Powers

Companion Powers

  • Shadar-Kai Witch: This companion’s Sense through the Shadowfell bonus power now properly grants extra currencies when completing Dragonbone Vale quests, in addition to just the weekly ones.
  • Windsoul Genasi: This companion’s Player Bonus now properly gives Combined Ratings.

 

Enchantments

  • Gaining immunity for any reason (e.g. dodging) no longer incorrectly causes Combat Enchantments to “boost” your damage to 0.

 

Enemies and Encounters

Trial: The Crown of Keldegonn

  • Clones from the Mirage set should no longer make Valindra’s Necrotic Orb deal additional damage.
  • Lightning strikes should no longer continue after the end of the fight, thereby keeping players in combat.
  • Palhavorithyn should now consistently drop loot when defeated.
  • The Crown of Keldegonn Trial should no longer incorrectly give players Lore about Mount Celestia.

 

User Interface

General

  • Some more references to the old version of the Refinement system have been corrected.

 

Auction

  • There are new sub-categories for Enchantments. Due to the timing of this release, they may be unlocalized until the next fix release.

 

Character Sheet

  • Enhancements: Players can now properly swap enchantments with ones in a stack, when the stacked enchantments’ bag is full (but the full inventory isn’t).
  • Tooltips now properly update when switching from highlighting gear to highlighting enchantments or enhancements.

 

Items and Inventory

  • Enchantments that slot into only one location (Combat, Companion, Bonus) will no longer give an error message when using the ‘Equip’ menu option if another Enchantment is currently equipped.
  • General and Overload enchantments can now be equipped from the inventory.
  • In the Apply Reinforcement window, if the selected reinforcement was Protected at time of slotting, there is now an option to remove protection.
  • The Apply Reinforcement window no longer shows an empty context menu when selecting a slotted reinforcement.

 

Refining

  • The refinement window’s layout now looks better when refining certain items like Insignias.
  • Upgrading an item without a Mote will no longer show an empty error message in the Results UI.

 

Art and Audio

Powers

  • The Wizard power, Steal Time, once again properly has sound.

 

Localization

General

  • In the French locale, the Appointment Event Vendor’s name has been shortened so that it is no longer truncated.

 

Performance and Stability

General

  • As mentioned in the Highlights, a crash when retrieving Friends List information on PlayStation® systems has been addressed.

EA on Battlefield 2042: DICE Used to Rebuilding Games, Has Been Able to Do It “A Number of Times Now”

  by   Alex Co  
3:55 pm in News

Are you disappointed with how Battlefield 2042 turned out after years of waiting? Yeah, you’re not the only one, as even EA admitted that the game didn’t meet expectations for them, too. With how late Season 1 is being timed to roll out, could EA be planning a relaunch of sorts for BF2042?

While not outright confirming or stating it, EA CEO Andrew Wilson mentioned in EA’s latest quarterly financials call that DICE, as much as he hates to admit it, is used to rebuilding their own games, and re-engaging their community.

Yeah. So, I think that, you remember coming into the launch, the demand measures were very high, influence for us. The core underlying created for the game still has really strong demand around it. And we — as I mentioned, we had some challenges around stability, particularly on high end PC machines and performance and there were some design decisions, but not all the community really agreed with. And so our focus right now is to really go back in and make sure we get that stuff right.

And as much as I hate to admit it, DICE’s the studio that has been able to do this a number of times now and really go back and rebuild at the core and reengage the community, as long as we do that in conjunction with a committee. That’s what that studio was so great at doing.

So I think the combination of DICE with the new leadership and a strong vision for the future, we will build out the core, we will reengage the community and we will manifest that demand that we saw coming into launch over the course of time. – Andrew Wilson, EA CEO

Wilson does have a point. Aside from Battlefield V, DICE has also been able to weather Star Wars Battlefront 2’s rocky start, and after numerous free game updates, managed to turn things around. Of course, it took some time to do that, but still, it is doable. Again, Wilson didn’t outright confirm that DICE is going to relaunch Battlefield 2042, but from his words, it does come off that way (at least for me).

However, it bears mentioning the fact that DICE needs to do this for their games speaks volumes on their direction as well, no? Heck, it’s rare that a game needs to be relaunched in the first place, and the fact that a studio might be trying it for a third time? Well, you might want to ask why they need to do it in the first place.

Report: Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League Delayed to 2023

  by   Alex Co  
12:58 pm in News

While Rocksteady has already revealed gameplay for its upcoming game based on the Suicide Squad, a new report has surfaced stating that Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League has been delayed to 2023.

This latest report comes from Bloomberg, which cites people familiar with the game’s development as the sources. The same report mentions that Hogwars Legacy and Gotham Knights were both planned for release in 2021, but got pushed back to this year due to production problems caused by the on-going global pandemic and other development challenges.

For now, treat this with a grain of salt, but don’t be surprised if this is the real deal, since we haven’t really heard anything about the game recently. If you’re keeping score, Rocksteady’s last major release was Batman Arkham Knight which was released back in June 2015. If this rumor rings true, then that means Rocksteady will go on seven years without releasing anything (!).

Hopefully, Warner Bros. will shed light on this soon. Once we know more, we’ll let our readers know.

Sony Plans to Release 10 Live Service Games by 2026

  by   AJ Macalagay  
12:43 pm in News

While discussing the recent acquisition of Bungie by Sony for 3.6 billion dollars, Hiroki Totoki, the Chief Financial Officer of Sony, revealed the company’s plan to launch 10 live service games for Playstation by 2022.  He also shared the company’s plans to harness Bungie’s experience in the live service space.

Although it doesn’t clearly indicate that Bungie will work on any of these live service games, it’s probable that the studio’s major new IP, which has been defined as a multiplayer action game will be included in that release timetable. In addition, Sony hasn’t officially announced that these titles will be released on the PS5 and whether they will be released on the PS4, or other platforms are much less certain. However, it’s quite likely that Bungie’s new IP will be released on other platforms.

“Our studios will learn from Bungie, that is a strong wish we have the Bungie side is willing to work closely with us,” Sony’s Chief Financial Officer, Hiroki Totoki stated during the call.

While these live service games have yet to be confirmed, a number of Sony studios are currently working on multiplayer titles that potentially include live service components.

Bungie has been working on a new IP outside of the Destiny universe, the studio’s first new IP in nearly a decade. It hasn’t been announced whether or not this game will be live service, but given Bungie’s experience and Sony’s drive into the live service arena, it seems plausible. While the new Bungie IP appears to be the most likely to be a live service game, PlayStation Studios is working on a few multiplayer projects that appear to be poised for live service.

Insomniac Games, the developer of Marvel’s Spider-Man, was hiring for a multiplayer project in 2021, as was Sucker Punch, the developer of Ghost of Tsushima, and Naughty Dog has been working on its’ first standalone multiplayer, which is a spin-off of The Last of Us 2. We also know that Sony has teamed up with Deviation Games, which is made up of ex-Treyarch devs, to work on a new IP, and PlayStation and Firewalk Studios have a publishing partnership to develop a new multiplayer IP. Assuming that all of these games include live service elements, then that leaves four games unaccounted for.

In case you missed it, Sony has launched the latest PlayStation Store sale this Feb. 2, and it’s called the “Critics’ Choice” sale! If you are interested, you can read more about it here.
