Here Are Some of the Best Battlefield Moments From the Franchise

  by   Alex Co  
May 31, 2021 4:59 pm in News

While the Battlefield franchise might seem like your regular military, first-person shooter, franchise vets know it’s anything but. Sure, there’s your typical sniping montage, but for the most part, the most memorable stuff in the game are when “Battlefield Moments” happen.

What are Battlefield Moments? Simply put, these are unscripted (or sometimes scripted) scenarios in multiplayer that can only happen in Battlefield! Stuff like flying a jet, jumping out, sniping someone and then getting back in are just some of the most memorable stuff we’ve seen from every game in the franchise.

Having said that, check out some of the best Battlefield moments from the clips below! Some are funny, some are inventive, and some are just downright ridiculuous! Whatever you think of these are, one thing’s for sure: these are the stuff that can only be done in Battlefield.

One of the most iconic moments ever – the “Renderzook!”

Getting UAV roadkills in Bad Company 2 was just fun as heck!

Attacking C using a jetski!

This is just badass! James Bond the original!

Putting a jet ski on a jet!

Now this is a true gunship!

Throwing Knife vs. a chopper?

Tanking to the limit

Battle…log?

Watch the whip!

Tank bouncing blasts a jet out of the sky!

Flying hovercraft?!

That’s about it. Do you have an amazing Battlefield moment to share? Link us below in the comments or post a gif!

Report: Dolby Vision Gaming and Atmos Exclusive to Xbox for Two Years (Update)

  by   Alex Co  
4:28 pm in News

Those looking forward to the Dobly experience for their next-gen consoles, it looks like you’ll have to stick with Xbox platforms for a while, as it seems Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos are going to be exclusive to Xbox for two years!

Update: According to Microsoft there is no exclusive deal between the two companies for the either tech.

This was revealed in a now-deleted post on the official France Xbox website, where the following was noted:

The Xbox Series X|S have been Dolby Atmos compatible since their release and Dolby Vision will arrive on these consoles in 2021, both technologies will remain exclusive to the Xbox ecosystem for two years.

Those not familiar with the tech, here’s what Dolby has to say about both:

What is Dolby Atmos?

Take your music and entertainment to the next level with Dolby Atmos. Go beyond the capabilities of stereo and surround sound to unlock a richer, fuller, and more immersive experience. With Dolby Atmos, artists, storytellers, and content creators can now place individual sounds all around you with more space and depth, so you can hear more and feel more. (via Dolby)

Dolby Vision is a set of technologies developed by Dolby Laboratories for High Dynamic Range (HDR) video. It covers content creation, distribution and playback. Dolby Vision include dynamic metadata that are used to adjust the brightness, color and sharpness of each frame of the video to match the display color volume (i.e. the maximum and minimum brightness capability and the color gamut). It allows for the creative intents to be preserved on all Dolby Vision compatible displays. It was introduced in 2014, making it the first available HDR format. (via Wikipedia)

Would this be a deal-breaker for you in terms of deciding which next-gen platform to buy?

COD Online Shutting Down in China by End of August

  by   Alex Co  
12:26 pm in News

Remember Call of Duty Online (COD Online)? If not, I don’t blame you, as the game never got out of China. For those not familiar with the game, it’s a free-to-play shooter developed by Raven Software and Activision Shanghai that launched a beta version way back in 2012, before launching in China (exclusively) in 2015.

It looks like the rest of the world won’t be able to play COD Online, as Activision is shutting down the game by the end of August! The reason cited was declining revenue and lack of renewal from Activision, which isn’t surprising given how popular Call of Duty: Warzone has been, and is possibly the biggest free-to-play game in Activision’s portfolio.

Not only that, but Call of Duty Mobile (COD Mobile) has also gotten to be very big, too, so I can see why Activision wouldn’t want a separate F2P Call of Duty game to maintain when you have those two titles being worked on already.

Aside from the two Call of Duty games, we are also getting a new entry in the franchise later this year, which is rurmored to be once again based on World War 2.

Thanks, ZhugeEX!

Final Fantasy Director Naoki Yoshida: Console’s Long Reign Will End Once 5G Becomes Standard

  by   Alex Co  
8:10 am in News

While there are still loads of people that can’t buy a PS5, Xbox Series X or a Nintendo Switch, the time where we won’t even need a dedicated gaming console might be coming sooner than some people think — at least according to Final Fantasy Director Naoki Yoshida.

Speaking to the Financial Times (subscription required), Yoshida commented on how 5G will usher in the demise of consoles.

Once 5G becomes the global standard, there will definitely come a time when we can transfer images to any device.
Players can enjoy a high-quality gaming experience on any device by not being tied to a gaming hardware or TV monitor. We’re definitely heading in that direction, and I don’t think coronavirus will slow this shift.

Yoshida also muses that with home consoles, people need to sit in front of a TV, turn the power on, and wait for the hardware to start, which is a time-consuming affair.

My take? Even if we do get 5G, unless mobile games can feature controls that feel as natural as physical controllers, there will always be people who prefer consoles. That, and of course, just having a device dedicated to games means that the hardware can and will be maximized just for that, which in turn equates to better gaming experiences.

Do you agree with Yoshida’s take? Will we see console decline once 5G becomes the standard across the world?

Destiny 2 Upcoming Update 3.2.0.3 Out Next Week Will Bring Stasis Changes & More

  by   Alex Co  
May 29, 2021 6:00 pm in News

While Bungie just released a title update for Destiny 2 this past week, the studio has announced that the Destiny 2 upcoming update 3.2.0.3 is planned for release next week, June 3 (Thursday), and will include a few fixes, and more importantly, stasis changes for PvP!

Destiny 2 Upcoming Update 3.2.0.3 Patch Preview:

Issues addressed (partial list):

  • The Empty Tank Lost Sector will correctly reward leg Exotics when they are advertised.
  • The Couturier Gauntlets will no longer obstruct a player’s view when using Bows and will appear again as intended.
  • The Archon’s Thunder Machine Gun and Riiswalker Shotgun can now be acquired from Lord Saladin, Iron Engrams, Bounties, or post-match Iron Banner rewards.

Stasis changes incoming this June 3:

General Stasis
Stasis Freeze
  • Reduced duration of all non-Super freezes vs. players to 1.35s.
      • Note: This freeze is too short to break out of, so breaking out is now only possible when frozen by a Super.
  • Reduced Special-weapon, Heavy-weapon, and Light-ability bonus damage vs. frozen players from +50% to +5%.
Stasis Slow 
  • No longer reduces weapon accuracy.
      • Now increases weapon flinch when under fire.
  • No longer suppresses class ability and air moves (e.g., Icarus Dash).
      • Known issue: The Stormcaller’s Ionic Blink is still suppressed when slowed. We plan to address this in a future release. 
  • Reduced movement speed penalty while slowed by ~20%.
Whisper of Hedrons Fragment
  • No longer increases weapon damage after freezing.
  • Now increases weapon stability, weapon aim assist, Mobility, Resilience, and Recovery after freezing.
Whisper of Rime Fragment
  • No longer provides overshield while in Super.
Coldsnap Grenade 
  • Seeker no longer tracks targets after initial target acquisition.
  • Increased arming duration before seeker spawns from 0.3s to 0.8s.
  • Reduced detonation radius vs. players from 3m to 1.5m.
  • Now bounces off walls and detonates on the ground.
 
Titan Behemoth 
Looking at recent gameplay data, the Behemoth generally has the highest win rate of any subclass in most 6v6 game modes and is also among the strongest in 3v3 modes. In Trials of Osiris matches, for example, only top-tree Dawnblade has a higher win rate. We’ve taken these strengths into account when balancing the Behemoth’s abilities. Between Shiver Strike and Cryoclasm, the Behemoth has incredibly high mobility, making targeting the Behemoth frustrating for controller players in particular. We’ve taken steps to make the Behemoth more targetable while moving, which should hopefully alleviate some of this frustration.
Shiver Strike 
  • Reduced flight speed and distance.
  • Reduced knockback vs. players.
  • Removed slow detonation on player impact.
Cryoclasm 
  • Now requires the Titan to sprint for 1.25s before activation when not in Super.
  • Removed cooldown.
Howl of the Storm 
  • Reduced angle of initial freezing/damage cone.
  • Reduced crystal-creation freezing radius.
  • Slowed down sequence of crystal formation to allow victims more opportunity to escape.
  • Now spawns a small crystal on walls if performed into walls.
Glacial Quake 
  • Reduced heavy slam vertical freeze range vs. players.
  • Reduced damage resistance from 50% to 47%.
Hunter Revenant 
The Revenant’s Crucible win rate, kills per minute, and average efficiency is generally within the top six of all subclass trees, but its usage rate is incredibly high. In Trials of Osiris matches, it has the fifth-highest win rate of any subclass tree, but is used by a whopping 36% of Trials players. This high usage means players fall victim to its abilities more often, multiplying the frustration of being slowed by Withering Blade and Winter’s Shroud. We hope that the changes we’ve made to being slowed, paired with the adjustments to the Revenant’s abilities, make this experience better.
Withering Blade
  • Reduced slow duration vs. players from 2.5s to 1.5s.
  • Reduced Whisper of Durance slow-duration extension vs. players from 2s to 0.5s.
  • Reduced damage vs. players from 65 to 45 (after one bounce reduced further to 30).
  • Reduced projectile speed by 10%.
  • Reduced tracking after bouncing off a wall.
Winter’s Shroud 
  • Reduced slow duration vs. players from 2.5s to 1.5s.
  • Reduced Whisper of Durance slow-duration extension vs. players from 2s to 0.5s.
Touch of Winter 
  • Coldsnap seeker no longer has increased movement speed or travel distance.
  • Coldsnap seeker now spawns a small Stasis crystal on detonation.
Warlock Shadebinder
The Shadebinder’s Crucible performance is generally within the top ten of all subclass trees. In Trials of Osiris matches, it had the 9th highest win rate of all subclass trees. (BTW – I’m pulling all this data from the weekend of 5/14/21, but it generally doesn’t deviate much between weekends. VOG launch weekend shook things up a bit though.) While the Shadebinder may not be the most powerful in competitive play, being frozen by its abilities takes a large emotional toll on the victim. We’ve adjusted Penumbral Blast to require more accuracy vs. players in order to turn this ability into more of a skill shot given its powerful effects.
Penumbral Blast 
  • Reduced tracking and proximity detonation size and tracking vs. players.
  • Reduced freeze radius vs. players when impacting the environment from 2.7m to 1.5m.
Iceflare Bolts 
  • Seeker now only chains once when spawned from a player shatter.
Winter’s Wrath 
  • Freezing-projectile tracking strength now ramps down to 0 after 2s of flight.

Note that these are not the complete patch notes, but once we have them (when the patch is out), we’ll be sure to let our readers know.

You can head here for a more detailed look at the Stasis changes explained by Bungie.

Horizon Forbidden West the Most Watched State of Play, Leapfrogs Over Other Game Showcase Episodes

  by   Alex Co  
12:39 pm in News

Just a few days ago, Sony showed off brand new gameplay for Horizon Forbidden West that, for lack of a better term, was jaw-dropping. It seems gamers are in agreement as well, as the State of Play episode featuring the game is now the most watched State of Play game showcase episode — a feat Horizon Forbidden West achieved in less than a day!

For context, here are the numbers at a glance:

What’s even more impressive here is, the reveal was just a few days ago, which means it’s bound to cross over the 3M mark in terms of views soon!

While we got to saw actual gameplay, there were also new locations that were revealed, which we go into detail right here! You might also want to check out the day & night cycle for the game, too.

This is definitely most impressive, no? While this doesn’t guarantee that the game will be a hit commercially, this is a good indicator on how much interest the gaming populace has on the title, and judging from the views it got, it’s quite a lot.

Which game do you think will beat Forbidden West’s State of Play numbers? God of War’s next entry perhaps?

And if you couldn’t tell from the pictures above, the Syn also features a bionic shell design, allowing the RGB lighting to really shine without all the excessive flashing. The ear cushions are also said to be glasses friendly.

The Syn Pro Air is available for pre-order on the official ROCCAT website, and will be launching June 20 with a MSRP of $149.99.

Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night Is Getting a Sequel

  by   Tim Villasor  
3:33 pm in News

One of the biggest video game kickstarter successes came from the mind some of the best Castlevania games in recent memory, and now it looks like Koji Igarashi’s Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night is getting a well deserved sequel!

According to publisher 505 Games during their fiscal year 2020/ 2021 Q3 results presentation, they are currently developing a second version of the game — which could translate to a new sequel or possibly an enhanced version for next-gen consoles!

  • Latest creation of Koji Igarashi, the former series producer of the Castelvania franchise.

  • Worldwide publishing rights on PC and all console formats.

  • High Metacritic score (average 81).

  • €30.2 million life-to-date revenues—more than one million copies sold.

  • Expected lifetime revenues of at least €30 million.

  • Second version in development.

Bloodstained first came to mind as the brainchild of Igarashi — who considers it a spiritual successor to his Castlevania games like Symphony of the Night and launched a successful kickstarter campaign in 2015 to crowdfund the game following his departure from Konami the previous year. The Metroidvania styled game was first released for consoles and PC nearly two years ago — and has enjoyed praise and positive reviews from gamers and critics alike. Two 8-bit style games in Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon 1 and 2 were also released as companion pieces to Ritual of the Night — and they have equally garnered praise from fans as well.

If you love the Castlevania games and haven’t played Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night yet — check out our review of this wonderful game here.

We’ll have more news about the Bloodstained sequel/ follow-up when more information is released by ArtPlay and 505 Games.

Far Cry 6 Release Date Set for Oct. 7, Watch the Gameplay Trailers Here

  by   Alex Co  
1:14 pm in News

As announced previously, Ubisoft has not only announced the Far Cry 6 release date, but also first look at Far Cry 6 gameplay today! Check out the gameplay below to see how it’s shaping up so far.

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

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YFMLi8ekeTE&feature=youtu.be

Here’s what Far Cry 6 is all about per Ubisoft:

As local Yaran and military dropout Dani Rojas, players will be swept up in the guerrilla movement as the brutality of Antón’s rule reaches new heights and the fire of revolution ignites across the country. Players will be able to choose to play Dani as a woman or a man, and will join forces with a colorful cast of characters, including Clara Garcia, the leader of revolutionary group Libertad, or Juan Cortez, a jaded ex-KGB spy and guerrilla master as they fight their way to take down the tyrant.

To succeed against the overwhelming power of Antón’s army, players will embrace the “resolver” spirit, a philosophy of resourcefulness found across Yara, making use of everything and whatever they have to inflict chaos on the regime. Fueled by the creativity of “resolver” mastermind Juan Cortez, Far Cry 6 features a broad and unexpected arsenal of customizable “resolver” weapons and tools. From a motorcycle engine powered minigun to a homing missile throwing backpack, pushing the “resolver” spirit to the limit will grant Dani the power of an entire guerrilla army.

Far Cry 6 gives players unprecedented freedom to experience the game the way they want by supporting their playstyle, whether they prefer a stealthy or forceful approach. In addition to resolver options, players will be able to pick traditional weapons and use new ways to traverse the world such as horses, tanks and crazy DIY vehicles. They will also be able to pair up with all-new animal companions like Chorizo, the adorable wiener dog no soldier can ignore or Guapo, Juan’s soldier-hungry pet crocodile.

In solo or two-player co-op, players will explore a vast and contrasted open world, from lush jungles to decaying cities. With Antón’s army controlling the air, roads, and seas, players will operate from hidden guerrilla camps across the country, gathering soldiers and resources while planning their next move. Players will have to navigate the world and approach situations like true guerrilla fighters to make sure every strike against the regime hits hard.

Once we get more info, we’ll be sure to let our readers know.

What’s a Xûr?

Xûr, Agent of the Nine, is a strange vendor who randomly appears in a Public Sector on one of the Worlds. Xûr sells Exotic equipment and only takes Legendary Shards in exchange for them.

TL;DR: He’s the Santa Claus of Destiny and every weekend is Christmas. Sometimes he brings you what you want, sometimes he brings you coal. Mostly it’s coal.

When does Xûr visit?

Xûr visits every Friday at 17:00 UTC and departs at Weekly Reset (Tuesday 17:00 UTC). If you would like to see all the live conversions of Time Zones, please follow this link here.

Thanks, Reddit!

Black Ops Cold War & Warzone Double XP Event for May 28 2021 Kicks Off, Here’s the Schedule

  by   James Lara  
11:58 am in News

Season 3 Reloaded kicked off last week for both Black Ops Cold War & Warzone, bringing with it some iconic ’80s movie badasses, Rambo and John McClane. While those two were undoubtedly the highlight of the update, least we forgot about all the new weapons introduced in Season 3. And what better to visit them as this weekend will mark the start of yet another Black Ops Cold War & Warzone double XP event for May 28 to cap off the month!

Black Ops Cold War & Warzone Double XP Event Schedule May 2021

Starting tomorrow, Call of Duty players in both Black Ops Cold War and Warzone will be able to earn double XP simply by playing in any of the available playlists, including Zombies.

Unlike previous double XP event where it was only for the weekend, this one is running a bit longer as it will offer a total of four days worth of double XP. Down below you’ll find the start and end time for this month’s double XP event.

Schedule: Friday, May 28th 10AM PT through Tuesday, June 1st 10 AM PT.

As a reminder you will not be able to stack any XP tokens you may have during this event, so be sure to save them for afterwards.

Should be the perfect time to level up any weapons you may have, or if you haven’t yet, to hit prestige master for the season. Don’t forget to clear up any of those season events, especially the ones that were included with the Season 3 Reloaded update.

Now get out there are start earning XP!

Fan Creates a Well-Made Battlefield 2021 Teaser to Draw Up Hype Ahead of Reveal

  by   Alex Co  
10:39 am in News

While the (internal use only) Battlefield 2021 reveal trailer is making the rounds, it’s a bit confusing as to why EA hasn’t released anything just yet. Well, one fan took it upon themselves to show what a good teaser for the game would look like, and I have to admit, it’s just what fans might be looking for in terms of building hype.

Reddit user GreenyMyMan crafted this short “teaser” for Battlefield 2021, that features a countdown and a rocket, and ending with “Battlefield” logo — just the perfect length for a tease and all.

Now if only EA pushed something out like this, and not just “soon,” no? But what do I know? I’m not a multi-billion dollar corporation with a huge marketing team.

In other Battlefield 6 (or whatever this year’s Battlefield game is titled) news, EA calls it a “relaunch” of the franchise, and will “unbelievable player counts.” The upcoming shooter which will be revealed this June, has also been confirmed to be coming to both last-gen (PS4, Xbox One) and current-gen consoles
