Arc Raiders Gameplay Reveal Debuts at The Game Awards 2021

  by   MP1st Staff  
11:01 pm in News

Embark, the studio from ex-DICE develepors, have unveiled their brand-new project called Arc Raiders, and it looks stunning! Check out the gameplay reveal for Arc Raiders below.

ARC Raiders will be free to play and is planned for a 2022 release on the Epic Games Store, Steam, Nvidia GeForce NOW’s game streaming service, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. Eager players can wishlist the game today on Epic and Steam.

Here’s a description of the game via its official Steam page:

Enlist.
ARC Raiders is a cooperative third-person shooter where you and your squad of Raiders unite to resist the onslaught of ARC – a ruthless, mechanized threat descending from space.

You play as one of the Raiders, a rogue group of resistance fighters. With the help of a patchwork early warning system, you fight to protect our home against enemies dropping from orbit. ARC is faceless and unfeeling, but no one could accuse ARC of being unresponsive. In fact, ARC responds to resistance with ever-increasing destruction.

Resist
As a Raider, you know that defeating ARC requires more than simply pointing and shooting a gun, and more than one person trying to be a hero. When ARC is around, lone wolves never make it very far.

As underdogs, we need to believe in something bigger than our own strength, in something unapologetically human. That’s why we come together. United amid the unlikelihood of success, what seemed implausible may just become the best course of action. So, by all means, come prepared and plan ahead, but sometimes you just have to wing it.

Jump right into the fray in a free-to-play world.
Scavenge the ruins of the past. Wield tools and gadgets to outsmart the enemy. Use on-the-fly tactics, your surroundings, and physics to your advantage. If you and your squad play well together, one day the stars may again become beacons of hope, instead of omens of oblivion.

Reimagine the third-person shooter – Go beyond simply matching ammo to a weapon. Experience action where combat demands unrehearsed creativity.

Reimagine cooperation – ARC pursues you relentlessly, but together you can overcome these faceless foes. Fight, flee, and fine-tune, shoulder to shoulder with your squad.

Transported to ages long ago, you will relive the Shattering, a war that brought darkness to the Lands Between, initiated by demigods’ hunger for power. You’ll fight alongside General Radahn and Malenia the Severed, but even these two undefeatable warriors couldn’t reunite a world so badly broken. There is only one hope left: the hope that a new Elden Lord will rise and lift the veil of shadows that has fallen over Marika’s domain.

Here’s a description of the game via its Steam page:

• A Vast World Full of Excitement
A vast world where open fields with a variety of situations and huge dungeons with complex and three-dimensional designs are seamlessly connected. As you explore, the joy of discovering unknown and overwhelming threats await you, leading to a high sense of accomplishment.

• Create your Own Character
In addition to customizing the appearance of your character, you can freely combine the weapons, armor, and magic that you equip. You can develop your character according to your play style, such as increasing your muscle strength to become a strong warrior, or mastering magic.

• An Epic Drama Born from a Myth
A multilayered story told in fragments. An epic drama in which the various thoughts of the characters intersect in the Lands Between.

• Unique Online Play that Loosely Connects You to Others
In addition to multiplayer, where you can directly connect with other players and travel together, the game supports a unique asynchronous online element that allows you to feel the presence of others.

Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2: It Took 1 Month for Artists to Create That 40ft Film-Quality Troll

  by   James Lara  
10:33 pm in News

Making an impressive gameplay debut during this year’s Game Awards, Ninja Theory and Ziva Dynamics reveal just how much work went into creating that impressive troll for Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2.

“This deadline for the troll was really right,” Simon Clutterbuck, VP of Creative at Ziva Dynamics said in a press release. “We had 3 artists working on it and only one month to get it all done. Building out a realistic body utilizing our existing datasets as a starting point saved us a lot of time. The tech is really changing the way our partners tackle character work.”

Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2 Gameplay Trailer

The team notes that it took six hours of rendering per 50 frames, which was baked using 15 AWS (Amazon Web Services) clusters in order to handle the process. Additionally, in order to bring the troll to life, they used machine learning in to train the troll’s assets to pull all kinds of animations in real-time, all while maintain the original quality they produced. 

“By utilizing their latest runtime technology Ziva helped Ninja Theory bring the full fleshy horror of the Troll to life in a way conventional workflows just can’t do.” says Andrew Vidler, Technical Director at Ninja Theory. Since its inception, Ninja Theory has been devoted to pushing the envelope for interactive digital content. They have continued to work with new, paradigm-shifting technology teams to uncover and create the bleeding-edge of gameplay experiences, and the partnership between Ziva Dynamics and Ninja Theory is set to generate even more best-in-class character results into 2022. 

Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2 currently has no release date, though is set to release as a console exclusive for Xbox, as well as PC.

8:22 pm in News

The new gameplay trailer for Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2 is out, and it looks incredibly unsettling, creepy, and visually terrific! The gameplay trailer blends perfectly with the cinematic aspect of the game, and you can check it out in full below.

The Hellblade 2 trailer shows off Senua and his companions landing on shore to find a gigantic humanoid creature, before trying to take the creature on. However, things go horribly wrong, and and Senua and her men are forced to retreat.

All throughout the trailer, you’re going to realize the unique binaural audio that developer Ninja Theory utilized for the first title, Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice. It amplifies the chaos perfectly, and captures the essence of mental psychosis that has always been at the core of Senua and the Hellblade series.

“This deadline for the troll was really right,” exclaimed Simon Clutterbuck, VP of Creative at Ziva Dynamics. “We had 3 artists working on it and only one month to get it all done. Building out a realistic body utilizing our existing datasets as a starting point saved us a lot of time. The tech is really changing the way our partners tackle character work.”

Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2 is coming to Xbox Game Pass at a still to be announced date.
