  by   Alex Co  
5:01 pm in News

Those looking for their next great adventure in High Isle, Bethesda announced just that today! During the The Elder Scrolls Online 2022 Global Reveal stream, Bethesda announced The Elder Scrolls Online new chapter titled the “High Isle” which is due out this June 6, 2022 for PC, and June 21 for consoles. Starting today, players can experience “The Legacy of the Bretons”

Check out the trailer and info straight from the press release!

The Elder Scrolls Online New Chapter High Isle:

In High Isle, ESO’s more than 20 million players will experience an island paradise steeped in medieval culture and architecture, complete with magnificent castles and exciting tournament grounds. The story of this year’s Chapter focuses on political intrigue, and High Isle is the perfect getaway destination for alliance delegates to take on peace talks that would put an end to the Three Banners War. While the summit is hosted by the noble Society of the Steadfast, players should beware of The Ascendant Order and their chaotic motives.

A previously unexplored region, the Systres Archipelago takes inspiration from the beautiful, windswept shores of the Mediterranean. Here lies the stunning world of High Isle, home of the Bretons, descendants of both humans and elves. The social elite live in the feudalistic society of Gonfalon Bay, the center point of all political dealings on High Isle. Above all, ruthlessness is a virtue here, so players will have to watch their backs!

The Legacy of Bretons will last throughout 2022, and will span four major updates this year! Players who pre-purchase the High Isle chapter will get a new pet today!

Lastly, also coming this year is a brand-new card game called “Tales of Tribute” which will be playable within The Elder Scrolls Online. According to Bethesda, the card game is a “unique, resource-building game complete with PvP and PvE.” Players can increase their rank through the card game’s own leveling system. And as one migh texpect, there are rewards tied to Tales of Tribute! Players can earn stuff like “furnishings, transmute stones, and even advancing a storyline by competing against specific NPCs around the world.”

Destiny 2 Season 16 HDR, Vanguard, Crucible & Nightfall Changes Detailed

  by   MP1st Staff  
4:12 pm in News

Bungie is ramping up the hype for their game’s biggest expansion yet, with their latest weekly update detailing the Destiny 2  Season 16 HDR, Vanguard, Crucible, and Nightfall changes to come! The latest TWAB also goes over Ritual Reputations and the state of Lost Sectors, as well as the usual reminders of everything players should claim before The Witch Queen drops this February.

One of the most notable things checking out in the latest TWAB is the HDR settings for Destiny 2. Bungie has outlined the changes coming to HDR in-game for The Witch Queen, and you can check it out below.

Destiny 2 Season 16 HDR, Vanguard, Crucible & Nightfall Changes:

Destiny 2 HDR Needs Love Too 

Destiny is a beautiful game, and we want our players to enjoy the majesty in all its glory.  Our resident magical space wizards (aka the Destiny devs) have cooked up some amazing new solutions to take the adventure we love and make it even more stunning, thanks to some new updates to our High Dynamic Range (HDR) implementation.
Here’s what you need to know about the HDR changes launching next month with The Witch Queen:
Windows 10 (and up): Windowed HDR is now supported.
  • To use windowed HDR, players must have the in-game HDR option enabled, and Windows 10 configured to have “Use HDR” enabled for the specific display.
  • When playing Destiny in windowed HDR, the game will automatically swap between HDR and SDR if the window moves to a display without HDR support.
  • All players (SDR or HDR) that use the software OBS on Windows 10 (and up) with Window Capture: ensure the ”Capture Method” is set to “Windows Graphics Capture” or capturing will display a black screen. The BitBlt setting will continue to work for previous versions of Windows.
Windows 10 (and up): Windowed Fullscreen should provide the same (or better) performance compared to exclusive Fullscreen.
  • Under the hood, Destiny now uses DXGI flip model on Windows 10 (and up). Dig it and want to learn more? Check out more detailed information, which can be found here.
Screenshots are now supported when playing in HDR on PC.
  • Screenshots must be taken using the in-game screenshot feature.
  • HDR screenshots will be tone mapped to SDR and saved as lossless PNG files.
Display calibration improvements (all platforms).
  • Players in HDR will see an updated calibration UI screen to adjust their settings.
  • HDR calibration settings have been updated with friendlier functionality to accommodate the wide range of HDR display capabilities and viewing environments.
  • SDR and HDR calibration settings are no longer stored account-wide and old settings have been reset.
  • Display calibration settings are now stored per-platform: PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series S and X, PS4, PS5, and Stadia.
  • SDR brightness settings no longer affect the game when playing in HDR.
  • Xbox players going through new account bootflow will no longer be incorrectly shown the SDR calibration screen if HDR is active.

Besides HDR content, Bungie has also raised attention on the upcoming changes to the Destiny 2 Vanguard operations, Nightfalls, and of course, the Crucible.

Vanguard Ops

As we discussed in an earlier TWAB, the Season 13 Battlegrounds activities have been added to the Vanguard Strikes playlist, and this playlist has been renamed Vanguard Ops.
As a reminder, the four new Battlegrounds coming with the new Season are:
    • Behemoth – Nessus 
    • Oracle – Nessus 
    • Hailstone – Europa 
    • Foothold – Cosmodrome

The actual Battlegrounds activities are the direct-launch/no-champion version of the Battleground, as these match the length and difficulty of most of the Strikes in the playlist.

Any bounties, quests, Triumphs, or challenges used to reference strikes now references Vanguard Ops instead.

Nightfall

We have been slowly iterating on the pressures and challenges we apply at each of the Nightfall difficulty ranks. One big outlier was the strike-specific modifiers with damage boosts and other effects that enhanced boss attacks. While some of them were cool and fun (who doesn’t like getting yeeted five miles by Sedia?), they were generally inconsistent and were pushing tactical play more than the intended buildcrafting. So, we have removed these from Nightfalls starting at Hero. We also added a new style of burn called Acute – which will increase player damage taken from a specific element by 50 percent and increase player damage done by 25 percent. Most Nightfalls already had a 25 percent damage received modifier, so this will be an across-the-board increase of 25 percent in both directions for that element.
Secondly, we are moving the Seasonal Strike modifiers that we introduced in Season 15 from the Vanguard playlist to Nightfalls. These are unique buffs and boosts that aid you if you lean into the combat themes of the Season – for Season 16, they are themed to Glaive and Void usage. These rotate weekly, and appear on all Hero, Legend, and Master Nightfalls. We look forward to your feedback on these as we continue to iterate! Ah, and here’s a quick preview of some sweet loot that you’ll be able to earn from Nightfalls next season. Look familiar?
We have also been iterating on how we communicate the shields present in a strike (if Match Game is on). Like the Legend and Master Lost Sectors, all Nightfall activities now have a modifier that lists the shields used.

Crucible

While we don’t have any specific changes to talk about with the Crucible or Iron Banner in this TWAB, we would like to address the longer respawn times we implemented in the 30th Anniversary patch, and then removed a few days ago.

When we original implemented this change, we were hoping it would spread out the pace of combat and reduce the number of times players spawned in and were immediately killed by the same Super that had just wiped them out. Despite the initial intention, feedback has shown that this wasn’t the best solution for the issues we were trying to solve. When we looked at the data, we saw unclear/mixed messages, partially because we implemented the change at the same time as large ability tunings, and the start of the Dawning:

    • Kills per minute were slightly down in the modes with longer respawns.
    • Team score delta went up a little, but we saw the same jump at the start Season 15, and it eventually went away. This is likely a larger player base coming in during a new content drop.
    • Match duration went up slightly in Control and Iron Banner, but not in Clash.
    • Inversely, Mercy Rates are down in Control and Iron Banner, but up in Clash.
    • The rate at which players quit went up slightly when these changes were introduced, but almost immediately came back down. In Control, 10% more games ended due to time. In Iron Banner, 5% more games ended due to time, but in Freelance Iron Banner, 5% less games ended due to time.
When looking at both feedback and analytics and seeing little definitively positive, it was the obvious choice to revert Crucible respawns back to their original values.

Check out the full TWAB for a detailed breakdown on changes coming to Lost Sectors  as well as other important stuff to know before The Witch Queen’s release this February 22.

Hyper Scape Server Shutdown Set for April 28

  by   MP1st Staff  
3:10 pm in News

Ubisoft announced today that they are killing off their battle royale, with Hyper Scape dead as servers shut down on April 28. Announced via a short blog post, Hyper Scape’s lifespan lasted barely two years following its initial release in August 2020. Check out the official announcement below.

Here’s the official Hyper Scape server shutdown announcement from Ubisoft, signalling that the game is dead by the time April rolls around:

Contenders,

We have made the difficult decision to end development of Hyper Scape and shut the game down as of April 28th. We set out to create a vertical, close-quarters, and fast-paced shooter experience and we are extremely grateful to our community for joining us on our journey. We will be taking key learnings from this game into future products.

To the Hyper Scape community, thank you for your passion and dedication to the world of Neo Arcadia both inside and outside of the game. Your devotion to the game we built will always be cherished.

Reach out to us if you have questions.

Sincerely, Hyper Scape

Despite a dwindling player base, Hyper Scape’s closure was met with sad reactions over on the official Twitter announcement, meaning that the game is beloved by some players in spite of its flaws. Here’s hoping Ubisoft can find a battle royale formula for themselves in the future, one that will be enjoyed by players without enduring a rather unceremonious death.

In case you missed it, one of Ubisoft’s other multiplayer title, For Honor, is still alive and kicking years after its release. Check out the latest patch notes for the latest For Honor update here.

Horizon Forbidden West PS4 Pro Gameplay Released by Guerrilla

  by   MP1st Staff  
1:20 pm in News

As its release date grows ever closer, Guerrilla Games has now shared Horizon Forbidden West PS4 Pro gameplay for those still playing on last-gen systems! Given the chip shortages being experienced worldwide, and the fact that most people still cannot get a PlayStation 5 without paying an arm and a leg, this gameplay footage should inform most PlayStation players on how well the game will perform on last-gen consoles. Check out the footage below.

Posted over on the PlayStation Blog, the footage consists of several GIFs of Horizon Zero Dawn in action on the PS4 Pro.

The Utaru tribe make their home in Plainsong, although the lands they live in have been heavily affected by the mysterious red blight. In this clip, you get a glimpse at their way of living in the massive thatched canopies, built atop Old World radar dishes – both serene and defensible.

Clamberjaws are a dangerously agile enemy, who will keep you on your toes throughout a fight. Take a look at what you can expect when you come across them in the wilds, in this extended clip.

Remember the Bristlebacks shown in our announce trailer? They make for a worthy opponent, especially when found in herds as encountered in this clip.

In case you missed it, a new trailer showing off the game’s cast was released a week ago, and you can check out that one here.

Star Wars 1313 Boba Fett Gameplay Footage Surfaces Online

  by   MP1st Staff  
12:18 pm in News

Footage of the cancelled Star Wars 1313 Boba Fett gameplay has surfaced online, with the game picking up quite the attention once more! The footage sees Boba Fett in several sequences that showcase the game partially; although incomplete, it looks amazing, and it really is a shame that the project has been put on hold indefinitely. Check out the footage below.

Provided by creative director James Zachary and uploaded to YouTube by The Vault, the three minutes of footage is cut into three parts. The first sees Boba Fett walking through an open market of sorts in Star Wars 1313, and the atmosphere really gives off a ‘seedy underbelly’ feel. The second one is much more action-packed, with Boba Fett caught up in a chase sequence. Although a lot of the textures are clearly missing, the animations are very much on point and it pretty much feels like ‘Uncharted’ in space. The last part is just a compilation of various animations for Boba Fett and the other characters in the cancelled game.

In case you missed it, Respawn Entertainment recently announced that they are undertaking three Star Wars titles, and you can read the details on it here.

Deep Rock Galactic Update 1.07 Out for Changes & Fixes This Jan. 27

  by   MP1st Staff  
11:13 am in News

Ghost Ship Games has released the Deep Rock Galactic update 1.07 patch (PS5 1.000.007) includes more fixes and change. Check out the official patch notes for the PS4 version of the game below.

Deep Rock Galactic Update 1.07 Patch Notes | Deep Rock Galactic Update 1.000.007 Patch Notes:

— PATCH NOTES —

  • Fixed an issue where some players disconnected from servers when going back to the space rig after a mission
  • Online sessions should now be joinable after the console exits rest mode with the game open.
  • Added a Motion Sensor option ‘Precision Mode’. Turning it off removes camera axis scaling and acceleration.
  • Added Lunar Festival decoration to the Space Rig Bar.
  • New Lunar Convergence Cleanup assignment available during the Lunar Festival event.
  • Increased font size across several user interfaces for better readability.
  • Added a voice chat indicator for yourself if voice chat is enabled.
  • The cursor is now hidden during the Mission Complete screen until the Continue button is visible.

Deep Rock Galactic features:

1-4 PLAYER CO-OP

Work together as a team to dig, explore, and fight your way through a massive cave system filled with hordes of deadly enemies and valuable resources. You will need to rely on your teammates if you want to survive the most hostile cave systems in the galaxy!

4 UNIQUE CLASSES

Pick the right class for the job. Mow through enemies as the Gunner, scout ahead and light up the caves as the Scout, chew through solid rock as the Driller, or support the team with defensive structures and turrets as the Engineer.

FULLY DESTRUCTIBLE ENVIRONMENTS

Destroy everything around you to reach your goal. There is no set path so you can complete your mission your way. Drill straight down to your objective or build an intricate network of paths to explore your surroundings — the choice is yours. But proceed with caution, you don’t want to stumble into an alien swarm unprepared!

PROCEDURALLY GENERATED CAVE NETWORK

Explore a network of procedurally generated cave systems filled with enemies to fight and riches to collect. There’s always something new to discover and no two playthroughs are alike.

HIGH-TECH GADGETS AND WEAPONS

Dwarves know what they need to bring to get the job done. This means the most powerful weapons and the most advanced gadgets around – flamethrowers, gatling guns, portable platform launchers, and much, much more.

LIGHT YOUR PATH

The underground caves are dark and full of terrors. You will need to bring your own lights if you want to illuminate these pitch-black caverns.

That’s about it for the patch.
