November 15, 2021 10:30 am in News

Digital Extremes has released the Warframe update 1.012 patch this November 15 (for last-gen, and next-gen consoles), and this is purely for backend fixes, and adds nothing new in terms of content or features. The official patch notes from Digital Extremes are listed below.

Warframe Update 1.012 Patch Notes | Warframe Prime Resurgence Hotfix #2 Patch Notes:

Here’s the official word from Digital Extremes regarding Prime Resurgence hotfix #2:

Prime Resurgence: Hotfix #2

This build brings some back-end fixes – nothing to see here

Yep, that’s about it. Speaking of Prime Resurgence, the patch released last week included a ton of new stuff, which you can read about here. Not sure what Prime Resurgence is? Read on for the official description via the devs:

A Prime Resurgence is upon us…

Coming November 16 for a limited time, we are launching Prime Resurgence! This event provides Tenno with a schedule of Vaulted Prime releases. The impending War grows near day by day, Tenno. A new (yet familiar face to some?), Varzia Dax, has an opportunity to fortify your Arsenal with Prime items that have long been Vaulted.

We first announced that we are looking at running a Prime Vault event of sorts on Devstream 156 – and Prime Resurgence is just that! It is our first stab at offering an alternative to Prime Vault: A one-stop shop to gain access to Vaulted Prime content and Relics with a fully transparent schedule to allow players time to plan.  

Varzia, a Dax from the Old War, will appear in Maroo’s Bazaar November 16th on all Platforms with a slew of Prime goods for you to obtain. You can either purchase Relics from her Wares with Aya (free path) or gain instant access to Prime items and bundles with Regal Aya (purchase path).

If other fixes and whatnot are found in this patch, we’ll be sure to update the post.

  by   Alex Co  
10:22 am in News

Ubisoft has rolled out the Far Cry 6 update 1.000.006  patch this November 15, and this is to prep the game for the Vaas: Insanity DLC set for release tomorrow, November 16! Same as in almost every game, the actual data for the DLC is released a day before it gets activated. This title update is out for both last-gen, and next-gen consoles.

Far Cry 6 Update 1.000.006 Patch Notes:

Update: Ubisoft has released the official patch notes:

Download sizes (based on development environment)
Xbox One: ~13 GB
Xbox Series X|S: ~6 GB
PlayStation 4: 512 MB
PlayStation 5: 600 MB
PC: TBD

  • Fixed an issue causing a Danny & Dani vs Everybody loading screen to appear.
  • Fixed an issue causing the Weapon Wheel selection to not work properly.
  • Fixed an issue where the Danny & Dani vs Everybody mission stayed in the journal for players that had accepted the mission prior to Title Update 2.
  • Fixed an issue that caused the “Posh trousers” to be missing when buying the King and Country bundle after Title Update 2 had launched.
  • Fixed an issue that caused the Double-O Pistol to be missing after buying the King and Country bundle.
  • General bug fixes

No official patch notes regarding the gameplay-related changes have been released just yet by the devs, but here’s what players can expect from the Vaas DLC via Ubisoft’s press release:

Players will embody Vaas, the iconic villain from Far Cry® 3 played by Michael Mando (Better Call Saul), who is reprising his role in a brand-new experience inspired by the roguelite genre. Starting with nothing more than a pistol to defend themselves, players will need to find new weapons and unlock power-ups to become stronger and progress deeper into the depths of Vaas’ psyche. Blending intense action and storytelling, Vaas: Insanity will provide a unique opportunity to better understand Vaas’ past, personal demons and motivations.

We’ll be updating the post once the official patch notes have been released, so make sure to check back later today.

If you haven’t played the game yet, go read our Far Cry 6 review here, where we state, “It’s not going to win over any Far Cry naysayers, but fans of the series should thoroughly enjoy what Ubisoft have done here. It is, in my opinion, the best Far Cry title since 2012’s Far Cry 3.”

Marvel’s Avengers Klaw Raid Rewards Revealed

  by   Alex Co  
November 14, 2021 6:52 pm in News

In case you didn’t know, this end of November will see the Klaw Raid be available for Marvel’s Avengers players. While Klaw isn’t a new enemy, players will be getting exclusive rewards for doing (and we presume completing) the raid. In this past week’s Marvel’s Avengers devstream, Crystal Dynamics has revealed the Marvel’s Avengers Klaw Raid rewards!

Marvel’s Avengers Klaw Raid Rewards:

Speaking in the latest Marvel’s Avengers devstream, Game Designer Alex Kende outlined the rewards players will get via the Klaw Raid. Kende said that there will be a Weekly Mission Chain per hero in the Klaw Raid, with the rewards currently set to be the following (standard split type of rewards):

  • 1 piece Discordant Gear from melee and range slot
  • 1 Discordant gear for the Defense and Heroic slot
  • 1 Klaw Raid-exclusive Minor Artifact that will have some of the new perks, and have access to a slightly modified minor artifact perk pool

Players will also get 1 random piece of Discordant Gear for completing the mission.

The Klaw Raid will be rolled out for free for everyone who owns a copy of the game this November 30. Alongside the Raid, PS4 and PS5 players of Marvel’s Avengers will also get the Spider-Man DLC for free (you can watch the reveal trailer featuring webhead here). Outside of the new content, expect reworks on the resources, perks and more to be part of the title update, too.

Report: COD Vanguard Launch Sales Down 40% Compared to Black Ops Cold War; Worst UK Launch in 14 Years

  by   Alex Co  
4:43 pm in News

It looks like Call of Duty: Vanguard launch sales aren’t exactly setting the charts on fire — at least in the UK. The latest sales report from GSD data shows that physical retail sales dropped 26% compared to last year’s Black Ops Cold War. Now, if you think that declinde was compensated by digital sales, it wasn’t, as digital Vanguard launch sales were down 44% as well compared to last year’s entry.

However, even if this is the case, Vanguard is still the second highest biggest game launch in the UK this year only behind FIFA 22. Check out the full list below.

Last Week This Week Title
New Entry 1 Call of Duty: Vanguard
1 2 FIFA 22
2 3 Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy
3 4 Mario Party Superstars
6 5 Grand Theft Auto 5
10 6 Mario Kart 8: Deluxe
5 7 Far Cry 6
25 8 Spider-Man: Miles Morales
9 9 Minecraft (Switch)
11 10 Animal Crossing: New Horizons

Adding more fuel to the bad news fire for Activision, VGC’s own sources have suggested that Vanguard had the lowest-performing Call of Duty launch in 14 years! Per the report, only Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare released way back in 2007 sold fewer units during opening week, though one can argue that the gaming landscape is bigger now compared to 2007, and Vanguard is available on more platforms as well.

More data from VGC states that Call of Duty titles seen as “fails” by the community such as COD: Ghosts and Infinite Warfare sold more during its launch week than Vanguard.

Mind, this is only for the UK, though it’s still a big blow when you think about it. Is this because Vanguard was released during the transition from the PS4/Xbox One era to PS5/Xbox Series X|S or are people not a fan of non-modern setting multiplayer shooter? We can’t say for certain. For thosew who bought Vanguard, is the game living up to your expectations? Let us know down in the comments below.

Rainbow Six Extraction Roadmap Revealed

  by   Alex Co  
2:46 pm in News

Just a few days ago, Ubisoft announced that Rainbow Six Extraction will be out this January 20, and not only will it be released at a cheaper price, but it’ll come with a Buddy Pass as well. Today, Ubisoft announced the Rainbow Six Extraction roadmap, which is coming with post-launch content for free!

Check out the trailer and details below via the press release:

Risk it all in Maelstrom Protocol, a thrilling weekly challenge mode with tiered ranks, built for the most skilled Rainbow Six players. Players must navigate a series of nine subzones with increasing difficulty, tougher enemies, quickly depleting resources, and allotted time getting shorter at each stage. At each checkpoint, squads must choose to either extract to bank their points or attempt to push to the end. Earning points will secure a place for challengers in up to four classes, from Bronze to Silver to Gold, Platinum and even Diamond Class, each rewarding players with special headgear and REACT Credits.

Rainbow Six Extraction will feature a variety of other exciting challenges, including Crisis Events and Assignments. Crisis Events are limited-time, game-changing events with themed content,  introducing a new Operator to your roster or a new dangerous Protean enemy to defeat. In the first Crisis Event, Spillover, players must wipe out mass colonies of an evolved version of the Sprawl as hordes of Archæans attempt to stop them. These events will reward exclusive REACT Tech, new cosmetics, and new lore.

Assignments are weekly modes with gameplay modifiers that put players’ skills to the test. For example, Veteran Mode involves no HUD, limited ammo, and friendly fire enabled. At launch, players can tackle both Maelstrom Protocol and weekly Assignments, with Crisis Events becoming available soon after.

Stay tuned to more Rainbow Six stories here on MP1st right here.

FIST Developer TiGames: Chinese Game Industry Foundation in Story-Driven Offline Game Is “Weak”

  by   Alex Co  
November 13, 2021 6:14 pm in News

While Chinese studio TiGames’ FIST Forged in Shadow Torch was received quite well both critically and in terms of sales, the Chinese game development scene is mostly known for mobile games rather than high-profile “core” game releases. Sony is aiming to fix this with the “China Hero Project,” which TiGames is a part of.

In an interview with MP1st, TiGames CEO Tao Zhang states that he thinks the foundation of story-driven offline games made in China is considered “weak” currently, and also comments about the China Hero Project as well.

MP1st: I feel not a lot of people are putting enough focus on the China Hero Project. Perhaps that’s due to how most of the world sees the Chinese market as one flooded with copycats, and this notion has spilled over to gaming as well. What does the studio think of this, and how does this idea get pushed out of people’s minds?

Zhang: Chinese game industry has its own story which is different from the world, and the foundation of the story-driven offline game is weak. Nevertheless, it still is a growing market that players expand their need for high-quality games from all over the world. China Hero Project is a response to this kind of change, making it possible for small developers like us to bring games to global platforms like PlayStation. Our faith is to develop games that could be accepted by players all over the world and letting people realize that Chinese developers are capable of producing high-quality games through this.

Zhang does have a point. Having said that, aside from FIST, another China-based studio — Game Science — is working on a single-player story-driven game, Black Myth Wukong, which looks to bolster the country’s games lineup.

We’ll have our complete interview with TiGames going up very, very soon.

Battlefield 2042 & Portal XP Farming Lobbies Run Wild, DICE Issues Changes to Combat It

  by   James Lara  
November 12, 2021 9:02 pm in News

In an effort to combat some early XP farming in Battlefield 2042, DICE has pushed out an all-new server update that is disabling and decreasing some XP earned in specific modes both in Battlefield 2042’s All-Out War mode, and in Battlefied Portal.

Today was the official start day for the Battlefield 2042 early access, and while the Battlefield 2042 servers have been rather rocky throughout the day, players who were have managed to get in with no issues may have noticed a recurring theme in the server browser for Battlefield Portal. 

https://twitter.com/emfromthesea/status/1459267938511372291

With users being able to create their own lobbies and host them at will, there has been an unsurprisingly amount of increase in what many had feared — those being Battlefield 2042 XP farming lobbies. Well, it seems like DICE has gotten the picture, and in an effort to combat it (until a better solution arrives,) they have, for the, time disabled XP gains in custom Battlefield lobbies, while also decreasing the amount earned in solo/co-op in All-Out Warfare.

An understandable move by DICE, however that does remove an incentive in wanting to play on custom lobbies, especially for the ones that are legit, not trying to exploit the system for in order to farm XP in Battlefield 2042. Hopefully a better solution is implemented soon. As for server issues, they of course will continue to monitor the situation.

Battlefield 2042 is now available in early access for all platforms. The official, full release will be on Tuesday, November 16. Stay tuned later for our full review!

GTA: The Trilogy Pulled From PC Storefront Due to Glitches

  by   Tim Villasor  
5:11 pm in News

Brace yourselves if you’re looking forward to revisiting the classic Grand Theft Auto games, as GTA: The Trilogy has been pulled from PC storefront due to glitches — dealing a hefty blow to the new remastered versions of GTA 3, Vice City, and San Andreas.

As seen and reported throughout social media, there have been parts of the game that have become glitchy and unbearable for some players to navigate through. One of the problems that went viral is in the remastered San Andreas, where the rain effect makes it very difficult to see where you’re going as shared by Twitter user Janky.

Rain has even appeared in areas of the game that are covered, but it doesn’t stop there. Other glitches are still being reported by a number of people who have bought and are currently playing the games. Most of these range from graphical bugs to frame rate drops — which some players have noticed is most evident in the Nintendo Switch port of the collection. That version as well as the PlayStation and Xbox releases are still available to purchase, but the PC port is now listed as unavailable in the Rockstar Games website.

Rockstar has yet to comment or address these problems as the game was just released. However dataminers seem to have unearthed the missing music tracks and dev notes of the game, and you can read about that right here.

TiGames “Satisfied” With FIST Forged in Shadow Torch Sales Performance

  by   Alex Co  
4:36 pm in News

This past September, we saw the emergence of a new action-platform in FIST Forged in Shadow Torch, which was developed by China-based studio TiGames. While there’s no sales figures released just yet, the studio is “satisfied” with the game’s market performance.

Speaking to MP1st, TiGames CEO Tao Zhang confirmed this, and also touched upon the positive feedback they’ve gotten from gamers.

MP1st: How has the sales of FIST been so far? Is it what the studio is hoping it would be?

Zhang: We are satisfied with the market performance of F.I.S.T. and the positive comments from players and media all over the world. F.I.S.T. has just launched on Steam in October which could attract more players to access and experience the game.

This is definitely good news, as gamers buying new and original games (not just sequels) means that these studios can craft new adventures that would otherwise be untouched.

If you haven’t played it yet, FIST is available on the PS4, PS5, and PC, and our review can be read here where we were quite surprised at its quality.

Our full interview with TiGames is hitting the site soon, so stay tuned!

New Destiny 2 Trials of Osiris Rewards This Week November 12, 2021

  by   Alex Co  
12:05 pm in News

Destiny 2’s Trial of Osiris has undergone some major changes this season, and MP1st is here to bring the new Destiny 2 Trials of Osiris rewards this week November 12, 2021 edition! Check out what you can win, and this week’s map pick!

For this week, Bungie is revisiting Trials Labs with Capture Zone! Here’s what the studio shared this week:

What’s New in Destiny 2 Trials of Osiris This Week?

This week we are revisiting Trials Labs with Capture Zone. A quick reminder, Capture Zone is still Elimination, with the following changes:
  • 30 seconds after the round starts, a capture zone is enabled. Players can capture this zone to win the round, or just eliminate the other team like normal.
  • The capture zone has a waypoint from round start, including a countdown timer, so everyone will know exactly when and where it will be.
  • The capture zone starts in the middle of the map in the first round and changes location each round.
We took feedback from the previous Capture Zone Lab, and made the following changes:
  • We are using a stronger Trials Map: Endless Vale.
  • Rather than rotating through points that give one team a significant location advantage, we are rotating through three neutral zones — one at Temple, one at Mid, and one at Shrine.
  • Players no longer get Super energy when capturing a zone, either before or after the round ends.
As we mentioned last week, card-based Matchmaking is on all weekend, with the Flawless Pool turning on Sunday morning at 10 AM. As with the previous two Labs, a 2x Trials Rank booster will be on all weekend.

New Destiny 2 Trials of Osiris Rewards This Week November 12:

Trials of Osiris Map

Endles Vale

Rewards

  • Reputation Rank 4: Upgrade Module (2)
  • Reputation Rank 7: Enhancement Prism (3)
  • Reputation Rank 10: Trials Weapon (Changes on every rank reset)
  • Reputation Rank 13: Upgrade Module (2)
  • Reputation Rank 16: Trials Weapon (Changes on every rank reset)
  • Flawless Reward: Reed’s Regret (Legendary Fusion Rifle) (Adept)

Reputation System, Trials Engrams, and Adept Farming

Win individual rounds within each match to gain trials reputation.The amount of reputation you gain increases with each round you’ve won on your card. Earn enough reputation, and you’ll be able to claim a Trials Engram from Saint-14! This engram can be focused into any currently available trials loot you have previously obtained, or it can be taken to Master Rahool for a random Trials drop. Your reputation increases after every match completion, based on the amount of round-wins on your card, regardless of the result of that match itself (win or lose, 0-5 or 5-4).

Once you have gone flawless, keep playing! Every win on your still-flawless card will give you a chance at bonus, additional post-match drops of the Adept weapon for that week. Once you lose a game, you will no longer get these adept drops. However, still winning games at 7 wins even on a non-flawless can can drop bonus trials engrams, prisms, and even ascendant shards.

When you’re done, you can cash in your 7-win passage for one additional adept drop, granted you have gone flawless that week. This resets your card so you can start anew.

Passages

Name Perk Cost
Passage of Ferocity Your third match win grants a bonus win. 10000 Glimmer & 15 Legendary Shards
Passage of Mercy Forgives one loss per run. 10000 Glimmer & 15 Legendary Shards
Passage of Wealth Increased Trials Rank points from reaching 3, 5, and 7 match wins on a ticket. 15000 Glimmer & 25 Legendary Shards
Passage of Confidence Grants bonus rewards from Flawless Chest. 20000 Glimmer & 50 Legendary Shards
