Suicide Squad Kill the Justice League New Trailer Looks Gorgeous, Confirmed for Next-Gen Only and Out This 2022

DC Fandome has a ton of surprises in their big event this October 16, and one of those is the Suicide Squad Kill the Justice League new trailer. The trailer confirmed some things about the game which will surprise last-gen consoles players, and you can check it out below.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MsQ3Js4wYI4

As confirmed by the trailer, Suicide Squad Kill the Justice League is going to release for new-gen consoles only (PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S) as well as PC, officially leaving behind the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. The game is one of the first to move away from the cross-generational releases, and as shown by the graphics in the trailer, that may have been one of the primary reasons.

Here are some details on the recently released new trailer:

Debuted at DC FanDome, the brand-new story trailer sheds light on the origins of Amanda Waller’s infamous Task Force X (a.k.a. the Suicide Squad) as Harley Quinn, Deadshot, Captain Boomerang and King Shark begrudgingly embark on their mission to take down the World’s Greatest DC Super Heroes, The Justice League. Featuring an original narrative set within an expansive open-world Metropolis, Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League puts the four DC Super-Villains on a collision course with an invading alien force and DC Super Heroes who are now laser-focused on destroying the city they once vowed to protect. All the while, the squad must be mindful of the lethal explosives implanted in their heads that could go off at the first sign of defiance.

Suicide Squad Kill the Justice League is releasing on new-gen consoles and PC sometime in 2022.

Stay tuned with us here at MP1st for our complete coverage of the DC Fandome event.

Gotham Knights Official Trailer Leaked Before Reveal at DC Fandome

The trailer opens with a voiceover from none other than Penguin, who offers a little bit of insight into the game’s primary antagonists, the Court of Owls. Nightwing himself is skeptical of their existence, but with the apparent deaths of both Batman and Jim Gordon, the Bat family are pulled into a deep mystery that has plagued Gotham for a long time.

At the time of this writing, DC Fandome is still ongoing, and we’re yet to see more information on Gotham Knights. However, the Gotham Knights official trailer does show that the game will release sometime in 2020.

Battlefield 2042 Next-Gen vs. Last-Gen Map Comparison

In case you didn’t know, the last-gen version of Battlefield 2042 won’t feature the entire scale of warfare as its next-gen versions. Not only are the graphics downgraded, but matches will be capped at 64 (32v32) players max, while next-gen will feature 128-player matches (64v64). With the lower player count on last-gen, it’s understandable that the overall map size would be smaller. If you’re wondering how big of an area is left unplayable, then wonder no more! Check out the Battlefield 2042 next-gen vs. last-gen map comparison map comparison below!

The map featured is the lone map playable in the beta, which is Orbital. We’ve marked the last-gen part where players will fight it out, alongside an image of the original map, and one where we highlight the last-gen map, and how small it is compared to the “complete” one. There’s also an image of what the Orbital map looks like on last-gen, too.

It’s no surprise that last-gen consoles offer less real estate to play, though that also means that action should be more frequent given the smaller space to fight in, no? In other Battlefield 2042 news, Hazard Zone was finally unveiled just a few days ago, and here’s everything you need to know about it.

We will be turning the servers offline at 1AM PT for up to 2 hours in preparation for the next update.

Thank you for your understanding, we can’t wait to show you what we have in store!

Splitgate Update 1.09 Warps in This October 16 (Update)

1047 Games has released the Splitgate update 1.09 patch this October 16, and this is seems to be a significant update given the tease the developers have mentioned online. The patch has been deployed while maintenance is on-going, so don’t be surprised if you can’t connect to the game.

Splitgate Update 1.09 Patch Notes for October 16:

Update: Here’s the official word on what’s included in today’s update:

The official patch notes haven’t been released yet, but here’s what developer 1047 Games had to say:

This could somehow be tied to the Splitgate Por Series, where cash prizes and more are at stake, and is open to both PC and consoles players! This is the game’s first eSports event, and most likely not its last.

Once the patch notes are released, we’ll be sure to update the post, so make sure to keep an eye out no this page and refresh it regularly. We’ll put an “update” tag on the headline once the devs have released the official changelog.

Hideki Kamiya Reminisces on His Career in New Kamiya Chronicles Video Series

One of Japan’s most prolific video game creators looks back at his origins, as Hideki Kamiya (Devil May Cry, Bayonetta, and tons more) reminisces on his career in a new Kamiya Chronicles video series — with the first episode looking at the developers first steps working in the industry.

Here’s the entire episode, with English subtitles available when you click on the CC tab.

Uploaded and developed by Cutscenes, Kamiya Chronicles intends to explore the career of the man behind some of the best action games known in video game history. Here’s the overview that accompanied the video explaining the premise of the series.

The “Kamiya Chronicles” is a series where Hideki Kamiya, one of Japan’s most prolific game creators who is behind titles such as Resident Evil 2, Devil May Cry, Viewtiful Joe, Okami, Bayonetta or The Wonderful 101, goes back on his career spanning over 25 years. This first episode starts at Kamiya’s beginnings in the industry and how he got to join Capcom and Resident Evil creator Shinji Mikami to ultimately make his directorial debut with Resident Evil 2.

Speaking of upcoming games by Hideki Kamiya, the highly anticipated Bayonetta 3 is coming next year — and you can check out the new trailer released at the last Nintendo Direct a couple of weeks ago here.

Madden 22 Update 1.007 Blitzs Out This October 15

EA has released the Madden 22 update 1.007 patch this October 15, and this seems to be for next-gen platforms only (PS5, Xbox Series X|S). Given we just got patch TU3 a few days ago, don’t expect anything major in this title update.

Madden 22 Update 1.007 Patch Notes:

No official patch notes have been shared just yet, though there is the release of the Most Feared event in the game, which is the 10th one for the franchise.

10 YEARS OF MOST FEARED
Celebrate 10 years of Most Feared in Madden NFL 22 with spooky content lurking around every corner! Available in-game until November 1, 2021.

ULTIMATE TEAM
Collect Most Feared Heroes to earn a 92 OVR Most Feared Champion like Ed Reed or Derrick Henry. Haunt your opponents with Monster Morph strategy items like Scary Speed, Monstrous Might, and Towering Terror.

In addition to that, there’s been a player ratings update available as well for Week #5!

Week 5: Who’s Up

Dawson Knox | TE | Buffalo Bills

The Bills tight end posted a season-high 117 yards and his fifth touchdown in the last four games on Sunday against the Chiefs. Dawson Knox has become a go-to target for Josh Allen in the Buffalo passing game and the Madden Ratings Adjustor team is bumping him a full +4 OVR points ahead of Week 6, making him an 81 OVR.

Joe Burrow | QB | Cincinnati Bengals

Second-year quarterback Joe Burrow led his Bengals into an overtime battle against the Packers on Sunday. Ultimately, Cincinnati suffered the loss, but Burrow threw for 281 yards and two touchdown passes in the game. The Madden Ratings Adjustor team is lifting Burrow’s OVR by two points ahead of Week 6, making him an 80 OVR.

Mike Williams | WR | Los Angeles Chargers

Mike Williams went nuclear on Sunday. He saw 16 targets, caught eight passes, and racked up 165 yards and two scores. Williams and Chargers’ QB Justin Herbert have a special connection, and it’s playing out in front of football fans on a weekly basis. Williams has six touchdowns on the season and the Madden Ratings Adjustor team is taking note, bumping his OVR +2, to an 85 OVR.

Week 5: Who’s Down

Zach Ertz | TE | Philadelphia Eagles

In a game where Zach Ertz saw six targets, he only managed to catch one for seven yards on Sunday. With the Eagles passing game struggling a bit, Ertz is not producing like the elite TE football fans are used to seeing. As a result, the Madden Ratings Adjustor team is lowering Ertz’s OVR by -2 points, dropping him to a 79 OVR ahead of Week 6.

Allen Robinson | WR | Chicago Bears

It’s been a tough season thus far for the Bears No. 1 wideout. Allen Robinson has just 181 yards and one touchdown on the season, and he’s coming off a game where he posted a meager 4-32-0 line. Not all of the accountability falls on Robinson as the Bears passing game goes through some growing pains, but the Madden Ratings Adjustor team is dropping A-Rob -2 OVR points to an 87 OVR ahead of Week 6.

If EA releases the full patch notes for today, we’ll be sure to update the post.

Steam Blocks Games With Cryptocurrency and NFTs

It would appear that Valve has no intention of dipping its toes in the booming crypto market (yet?), as new information on SteamDB has detailed that Steam will now block games with cryptocurrency and NFTs.

As first noted on SteamDB’s official Twitter account, a look into recent code changes within Steam’s onboarding rules now block games that fall under specific crypto leanings, as detailed below:

Applications built on blockchain technology that issue or allow exchange of cryptocurrencies or NFTs.

According to the post, at least one cryptocurrency-based game which had an existing Steam store page has already been removed. Scrolling down to the comments, it would appear that there are still some games that flew under Valve’s radar. A game called Mist still has its store page up, and you can clearly see in its promotional videos in the page that it’s built on the Binance Smart Chain.

What do you think? Is blocking crypto-based games a good move on Valve’s part? Let us know in the comments below!

Thanks, SteamDB !

The Day Before Release Date Announced, New Project Unveiled (Update)

Publisher MYTONA and developer FNTASTIC have just finished their exclusive developer livestream, and in there they have announced The Day Before official release date as well as a new project called Propnight, also releasing on PC. Head on down below for more details on this new survival open-world MMO set in a post-apocalyptic world overrun with zombies.

The developer livestream aired exclusively over on IGN, where FNTASTIC shared more about the game including some new gameplay footage via a trailer. The game is dated for release on PC via Steam next year, June 22, 2022. Update: A press release sent to us made note of a small correction. The Day Before will be releasing on PC via Steam on June 21, 2022.

If you’re wondering what the game is all about, below is a short description via its Steam page:

The Day Before is an open-world MMO survival set in a deadly, post-pandemic America overrun by flesh-hungry infected and survivors killing each other for food, weapons, and cars. You wake up alone in a world you no longer remember, setting out to find answers and the resources to survive.

In addition to The Day Before’s release date, MYTONA and FNTASTIC also debuted a new project called Propnight. In the same vein as Gmod’s Prop Hunt and other derivatives, but with a twist of its own. Propnight is built with the same physics-based gameplay in mind, but instead of simple hunters hunting the prop players, there are killers instead, same as with the asymmetric horror hit Dead by Daylight. Check out some gifs of Propnight below.

Update: Propnight will have an open beta on October 15 to 18, with the release date set for November 30. You can check out the game on Steam here.

Metroid Dread Sells Over 86,000 Physical Units Since Launch in Japan

Samus Aran’s newest adventure just made big money for Nintendo, as Metroid Dread sells over 86,000 physical units since launch in Japan — making it the best-selling Metroid game at launch in history and setting a new record for the franchise as whole.

According to Famitsu’s weekly report, the new Metroid sold a total of 86, 798 in its first week of release — taking the top spot and beating the PS4 and PS5 releases of Far Cry 6. Both versions of Ubisoft’s latest first-person shooter adventure sold a combined total of 50,905, with the Nintendo action adventure game outperforming it by a large margin.

As the newest spin-off of the long running Metroid franchise, Metroid Dread brings back the traditional 2D side-scrolling game while also incorporating stealth elements. Here’s the overview of the plot from the official Nintendo page of the game.

Upon investigating a mysterious transmission on Planet ZDR, Samus faces a mysterious foe that traps her in this dangerous world. The remote planet has been overrun by vicious alien lifeforms and murderous robots called E.M.M.I. Hunt or be hunted as you make your way through a labyrinth of enemies in Samus’ most intense side-scrolling adventure yet.

Someone Has Calculated the Cost of Owning All PS4 Games on PSN, Here’s the Breakdown

Have you ever wondered how much it’d cost to buy ALL the games available on the PlayStation Network Store? If so, we now know the answer! A Redditor took it to collect useless data for one of the more interesting tidbits of trivia for PlayStation. The user, utilizing his scripts for the PlayStation Store, found out just how much it costs to buy all PS4 games on the PlayStation Store across different regions, and the results are incredibly intriguing, to say the least.

The Redditor opened his post with an explanation, saying:

I have scripts that every day collect prices from the Playstation store and I wanted to know – How much does it cost to buy all PS4 games on Playstation Store? I excluded from the statistics all add-ons, premium editions, maps, game pass, games that have the status – preorder and etc.

Prices are calculated in two columns. The first column – the price with the base discount, the second column is the discount price if you have a PS Plus subscription.

The data collected only reflects prices for October 13, but it does paint a very specific picture when it comes to the pricings for all PS4 games. Check out the images for the prices below.

Number of games:

PS4 Games

Full cost of all games:

PS4 Games

Average price per game:

PS4 Games

Full price per region:

PS4 Games

In terms of pricing, Germany leads the pack with $146,842.31 for full-priced games. The lowest is in Brazil, where it costs $77,079.57 for all full-priced games.

While this data is useless, it provides a very interesting insight for games pricing across different regions. The discounts for having a PlayStation Plus subscription also adds quite a bit over time, as you save more than $52,000 if you buy all games in the German PlayStation Store.

What do you think? Is it surprising to see the regional pricing for PS4 games on the PS Store? Let us know in the comments below!

TET (IV) 35 51.00% 59.50%
PEN (V) 40 36.00% 50.40%
Black Desert Online Update 2.02

Enhancement chances for Tuvala gears and Tuvala accessories have increased. This was one of the most difficult questions we had to tackle in this week’s update as we reviewed feedback suggesting that the gear enhancement system was sometimes too harsh and, while it may partially be due to the low chance, it was also in some part due to the inherent characteristic of the enhancement system itself: enhancement levels dropping upon enhancement failure. As a result, it wasn’t uncommon for Adventurers to find themselves going back and forth between PRI, DUO, and TRI. We thought long and hard about making an exception for Tuvala gear and its accessories but, in the end, we eventually leaned towards preserving it because it was such a defining component of Black Desert. Also, making an exception to Tuvala gear would only bring about more confusion in the long run, especially when Adventurers migrate to normal servers.

 

For these reasons, we’ve decided to retain the current system and instead ease the burden by reinforcing the raw chances for success. (The current setup represents a difficulty that would stand somewhere in the middle between Naru gear enhancement and Tuvala gear enhancement before the changes.) We’ve also paid extra care to the ‘DUO (II) – TRI (III)’ stages because that’s where people seemed to labor the most. Consequently, we’ve substantially increased the basic success rate for the PRI (I) – DUO (II) – TRI (III) stages. TET (IV) and PEN (V) stages have been set up so that the Advice of Valks (40/60) stacks issued by Fughar would let Adventurers reach the respective success rates at 35% each.

 

● Changed Tuvala Ores to be usable for repairing Tuvala gear to max durability.

Black Desert Online Update 2.02

Challenge Objectives Rewards
On the Corrupt Yolun Dagger! Defeat the Maleficent Centilutos and acquire the knowledge, ‘On the Corrupt Yolun Dagger’ Sycrakea: Prottia Chest x2
Black Desert’s second co-op dungeon after Vahmalkea, “Atoraxxion: Sycrakea,” is finally unveiled. Unlike “Vahmalkea,” Atoraxxion’s first biome, Adventurers will be able to encounter the bosses guarding each area of Sycrakea. Each boss has its own unique pattern that will test your mettle, and you will encounter more of those “thread” puzzles signature to Atoraxxion, along the way. Sycrakea holds a total of seven delightful threads, five of which you shall run into while completing the main questline. Do note that one of those five threads is required to move onto the next area. Once you defeat the bosses and unravel the threads, you will ultimately make your way to Syca’s Cradle, where you will find “Maleficent Centilutos.” The core mechanic of Maleficent Centilutos lies in “electrical currents.” This is directly connected to the “power supply devices” located all over Syca’s Cradle, as you can control the amount of electrical power that is supplied to Maleficent Centilutos, which will determine just how much safer and easier your encounter will be. Also, you will need to work together with your party members especially depending on the state of Maleficent Centilutos. We designed Sycrakea to be slightly more difficult compared to Vahmalkea, and we can guarantee that those Adventurers who dare take their chances on entering Sycrakea will suffer many deaths even before reaching Syca’s Cradle.

Caphras Enhancement – Level 10
