Destiny 2 Guardian Games 2021 Set for April 20, Here’s What You Need to Know

  by   Alex Co  
12:27 pm in News

Bungie is bringing back the Guardian Games for 2021! The Destiny 2 Guardian Games 2021 start date is set for April 20, and as players can expect, there are rewards, prestige and more at stake. Check out the trailer and changes coming to this year’s event.

Destiny 2 Guardian Games 2021 Info:

How the scoring will work this year.
Medals have the following values:
  • Bronze: 1 Point
  • Silver: 2 Points
  • Gold: 5 Points
  • Platinum: 15 Points
We still have to account for different class population, so this year the class that comes in third place each day gets a permanent 10% bonus on scoring going forward.

NEW GUARDIAN GAMES PLAYLIST 

Another new addition to this year’s event is the Guardian Games Strikes Playlist. This is like the standard Vanguard Strikes Playlist but will group players together by class. This feeds into the Laurel collecting mechanic where players have a chance at bonus Laurels when they pick up a Laurel generated by a player of the same class.

MODIFIERS 

This new playlist will have gameplay modifiers added based on the previous day’s class standing. Classes will get a beneficial modifier tied to gold, silver, and bronze placement.
  • Gold: Health, shields, and recovery are increased. Kinetic weapons deal more damage.
  • Silver: Melee abilities recharge faster. Elemental damage increased from Guardian sources. More Heavy ammo available.
  • Bronze: Grenade abilities deal more damage and recharge much faster. Elemental damage increased from Guardian sources.
There are also negative modifiers added to the playlist to make things a little more challenging for the leaders. The gold class gets two modifiers, and the silver class gets one. These modifiers are themed around the classes that finished lower on the podium.
Bronze Silver
Titan
 Combatant melee attacks deal more damage. Combatant melee attacks deal significantly more damage.
Warlock Incoming damage increased while airborne. Incoming damage significantly increased while airborne.
Hunter Radar is disabled. Radar is disabled and combatants don’t flinch when damaged.
Silver classes only get the modifier from the bronze class below them. Gold classes get a combination of both silver and bronze.
Thematically, we’re going for an experience where the Guardian Games Strike Playlist is the venue for players hoping to jockey their classes’ podium placement as it will likely be one of the most efficient ways to earn Laurels.

MEDAL CASE 

You will receive a medal case from Eva to store your hardware until you are ready to visit the podium in the Tower to bank them for your team. Once you have the maximum medals for a certain type in your case, make sure you go turn them as any more earned for that type will be lost. Turning in medals will give you a chance at receiving an event package depending on the medal type.

CONTENDER CARD 

This year we are introducing a new way to earn points for your team called Contender Cards. You will be able to pick these up from Eva in exchange for Laurels and can have one active at any given time. Completing objectives in strikes, Crucible, and Gambit will grant a Gold Medal upon completion.
There is also a special Platinum Contender Card that will focus on completing objectives in Nightfalls, Survival, and Trials. This will be the only way to earn Platinum Medals. Completing a Platinum Card will earn you All-Star status and a special reward at the next podium ceremony.
Make sure you complete your Platinum Contender Card before daily reset on Friday if you want to lock in your All-Star status for the weekend.

PODIUM CEREMONY

Every weekend there will be a special ceremony where you will be able show off a glow from your class item depending on your class’ standing that week.
  • Third place receives a bronze glow.
  • Second place receives a silver glow.
  • First place receives a gold glow.
  • All-Stars receive a platinum glow.

Curious what the rewards are? Head on below.

REWARDS 

As with any event, there will be new loot to grab. At the start of the event, you will get is a new class item from Zavala – these are required to participate in the games. Your old class items won’t work for this event, even though they still look cool. Super cool.
There will be a new Exotic Sparrow you can earn during the event because every Guardian can use a new set of wheels… OK maybe not wheels since they hover, but you get the point. It’s a cool vehicle that you can drive… fly… drift? Yeah. You can definitely drift them.
Anyway, there will also be new emblems and shaders to collect and Heir Apparent is back for anyone who didn’t get it last year. Proud owners of the tanky Exotic Machine Gun now have a new catalyst to earn. If you want to roleplay as Valus Ta’arc, this catalyst will provide even beefier shields for you as you cabal-stomp your way through the battlefield.
There will also be new Eververse collectibles including, but not limited to, a new Universal Ornament armor set.  At Beyond Light’s release, we said we would be working to make future Universal Ornament sets more accepting of shaders. New tech allows us to achieve this change more easily and the GG sets are a great example.  Here is a peek at some of the offerings.
You can also earn the chance to nab some sweet Bungie merchandise based on your performance in the Destiny 2 Guardian Games 2021. You can check that out right here.
We gather, there’s a title update accompanying the Guardian Games, and once it’s out, we’ll let our readers know.

Resident Evil Village Runs at 4K 60fps on PS5 & XSX, 45fps With Ray Tracing On

  by   James Lara  
5:17 am in News

Next-gen consoles owners will be happy to know that Capcom is targeting 4K 60fps (frames-per-second) on both the PS5 and Xbox Series X, though ray tracing will be at 45fps rather than 30fps like in most games. 

In a new update to the official Resident Evil Village website, Capcom has listed a full (not including PC) breakdown of Resident Evil Village resolution and expected FPS. 

Resident Evil Village Resolution and Expected FPS

PlayStation®5 4K HDR/60 fps
PlayStation®5
(when Ray Tracing is turned on)		 4K HDR/45 fps
PlayStation®4 PRO 1080p/60 fps
PlayStation®4 PRO
(when set to high resolution)		 4K HDR/30 fps
PlayStation®4 900p/45 fps
Xbox Series X 4K HDR/60 fps
Xbox Series X
(when Ray Tracing is turned on)		 4K HDR/45 fps
Xbox Series S 1440p HDR/45 fps
Xbox Series S
(when Ray Tracing is turned on)		 1440p HDR/30 fps
Xbox One X 1080p/60 fps
Xbox One X
(when set to high resolution)		 4K HDR/30 fps
Xbox One 900p/30 fps
Stadia 1080p/60 fps or 4K/60 fps
Note: 4K is upscaled using dynamic resolution.

While  60fps does seem to be what most developers are going with as a standard with 4K resolution, the target framerate for ray tracing seems to be a rather odd one as Capcom is shooting for 45fps rather than 30fps. While no doubt games that support 4K ray tracing at 30fps could probably squeeze out more frames, the general thought is that sticking with 30 typically offers a smoother experience due to potential dips in say an uncapped option. 

However, if Capcom can promise a locked 45fps at 4K with ray tracing, then the overall experience should be a smooth one. Still, we are a bit hesitant, especially since the wording does say “expected,” meaning it’s likely to change. I suppose we will know shortly as the first day of the demo will be available this Saturday.

Resident Evil Village 4th Trailer and Screenshots From RE Showcase Digital Event Released

  by   Tim Villasor  
April 15, 2021 11:21 pm in News

It’s a great time to be a Resident Evil fan, as Capcom has graced gamers with brand new Resident Evil Village content — including a new 4th trailer and screenshots shared from the RE Showcase digital event released — giving us a better look at what to expect from the upcoming latest installment in the series.

Here’s the brand new trailer — which gives us a new glimpse at the enemies Ethan Winters will face in his journey and teasing more about the role Chris Redfield will play in the sequel.

Here’s the overview of the new trailer from Capcom.

The latest trailer for Resident Evil Village pulls fans deeper into the enigmatic locale with a peek at the diversity of environments and enemies players will encounter. New footage provided clues to an immense underground factory possibly mass producing humanoid creatures, and a vast man-made lake barely concealing what appears to be a colossal aquatic monster. The mysterious man from the January Resident Evil Showcase is revealed to be Heisenberg. Though his name is now known, his role remains unclear in protagonist Ethan Winters’ quest to find his daughter. Series veteran Chris Redfield also makes an appearance with questionable motives, creating more mystery as to what his role is.

Capcom has also released these awesome looking screenshots for the game, which you can take a look below.

In case you missed it from the RE Showcase, Resident Evil Village is also bringing back the Mercenaries — which you can read about here.

Resident Evil Village will be released on PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Google Stadia, and PC on May 7.

Resident Evil Infinite Darkness Launches On Netflix This July

  by   Tim Villasor  
10:41 pm in News

After being teased and revealed first at last year’s Tokyo Game Show, Capcom has finally revealed that the new CG animated series Resident Evil Infinite Darkness launches on Netflix this July!

If you didn’t catch the Resident Evil Showcase digital event, here’s the new trailer!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lp477ZhyrXg

Reuniting RE2 Remake voice actors Nick Apostolides as Leon S. Kennedy and Stephanie Panisello as Claire Redfield, the new Resident Evil web series is set a few years after the events of Resident Evil 4. Here’s the summary of the story from the official Resident Evil Portal website.

In 2006, there were traces of improper access to secret Presidential files found in the White House’s network. American federal agent Leon S. Kennedy is among the group invited to the White House to investigate this incident, but when the lights suddenly go out, Leon and the SWAT team are forced to take down a horde of mysterious zombies. Meanwhile, TerraSave staff member Claire Redfield encounters a mysterious image drawn by a youth in a country she visited, while providing support to refugees. Haunted by this drawing, which appears to be of a victim of viral infection, Claire starts her own investigation. The next morning, Claire visits the White House to request the construction of a welfare facility. There, she has a chance reunion with Leon and uses the opportunity to show him the boy’s drawing. Leon seems to realize some sort of connection between the zombie outbreak at the White House and the strange drawing, but he tells Claire that there is no relation and leaves. In time, these two zombie outbreaks in distant countries lead to events that shake the nation to its very core.

In case you missed it, Resident Evil Village is bringing back the Mercenaries mode! Check out the details here.

Resident Evil Infinite Darkness will stream on Netflix this coming July.

Resident Evil Village Mercenaries Mode Announced

  by   Tim Villasor  
6:55 pm in News

Get ready to embark in a new survival horror adventure and play one of the most beloved extra modes the series has ever had, as Resident Evil Village has a Mercenaries mode announced — complete in first-person and featuring all the thrills and then some you’d expect from it!

Check out the reveal of the extra mode you can play besides your single player adventure!

As detailed in the Resident Evil Showcase digital event, the Mercenaries will have players facing down enemies in an arcade style gauntlet of challenges that will test their survival skills and inventory management to their limits. Players guide Ethan Winters as he battles through hordes of monsters and creatures, but he’ll also be able to gain skills and buy weapons off the Duke that will help even out the odds. In many ways, the first-person perspective looks very much like an arcade shooter as well as the Resident Evil Survivor games — albeit in a much better and polished capacity.

First debuting as an Extreme Battle mode in the original RE2 before gaining its proper namesake and introduction in Resident Evil 3: Nemesis, the mode hit its stride when it was incorporated again in Resident Evil 4 — and since then has become a staple in the series. Some recent entries in the franchise, including the RE2 and RE3 Remake, have excluded  the Mercenaries mode to the disappointment of fans. But it looks like Capcom has listened to the cries and requests of the RE community 0– and now it’s back and looking much more intense than ever.

If you didn’t catch the news in the RE Showcase, Resident Evil Village will have a brand new demo out starting next week with early access to PlayStation owners — check the details here!

Resident Evil Village will be out for the PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Google Stadia, and PC on May 7!

Resident Evil Village Gameplay Demo Release Dates Announced, Early Access for PlayStation

  by   Alex Co  
6:05 pm in News

With Capcom holding a Resident Evil showcase today, it looks like some of the major details for it has surfaced already! Remember when we reported that Resident Evil Village gameplay demo was uploaded on the PlayStation Network’s backend? Yep, as expect, that has been announced in today’s stream!

During the showcase, it was revealed that the gameplay demo will be available on three different dates. The first two being what the team is calling “8 hours in Village” where there will be two 30 minutes demo exploring two different parts of the game. These will be exclusive to PlayStation gamers as a early access. The first demo will be dropping on April 17 and is dubbed “Village demo”.

The second demo is called “Castle Demo” and is coming April 24.

Both demos will feature roughly 30 minutes of playtime and will be available on each day for only 8 hours. The third demo, which is a time limited one of 60 minutes is releasing on May 1 on all (disregard image as PlayStation has marketing rights) platforms.

This demo will be available for a full 24 hours for all (PlayStation, PC, and Xbox) platforms. As a little bit of a surprise, PlayStation gamers will also be able to preload the demo starting today.

Not a bad way to get a taste of the game, no? And knowing how ingenious some people are, I suspect we should see more than what Capcom intended

How to Play as a Zombie in Warzone’s Latest Event Leading to Season 3

  by   James Lara  
5:43 pm in News

In case you missed the news earlier, Warzone Verdansk is seemingly being polluted with radiation, as areas of the map have now become dead zones to players. As it turns out, however, the radiation is doing more than just killing players as it is seemingly reanimating them into the living dead! Here’s how to play as a zombie in Warzone.

How to Play as a Zombie in Warzone

The process of playing as a zombie in Warzone is pretty easy, although it does require that you don’t play in a solo que. We aren’t sure why that is, but you will need to be either playing with some friends or a group of random in order for this to work.

So, once the game kicks off all you have to do is drop down into one of the points (currently either Shipwreck or the Prison) below.

As you get closer to it, you will begin to notice a red ring on the mini-map, indicating a gas zone.

Once you enter it, you will be inside the ring of radiation, which will slowly begin to kill you off. Wait until it does.

You will then respawn once again in the air, this time as a zombie!

You won’t be able to do any damage to any of you allies in this mode, but you can hunt down other players who will now show up on the mini-map.

What Abilities Do You Have as a Zombie?

Besides your vision being different and having melee as your main attack, you do get a few other perks of being a zombie. As stated before, you can see everyone on the mini-map as red-dots. Additionally, you also have three abilities which are; Charge jump, gas grenade, and EMP blast.

How Do You Return Back to Normal?

If you want to leave the zombie state, your teammates can buy you back into the game at a buy station.

That’s all there is to it, pretty easy right? Now go out there and start munching on the remaining survivors on Verdansk!

  by   James Lara  
5:25 pm in News

It seems that the Season 2 closing event is starting to kick off in Call of Duty Warzone, as areas of the Verdansk map are becoming inaccessible due to radiation, with some reports of players being turned into zombies!

Check out footage of that below.

That’s definitely not your everyday gig at Warzone.

Warzone & Black Ops Cold War Season 2 Outro Teases Season 3 1980’s Verdansk Map

  by   James Lara  
4:17 pm in News

Black Ops Cold War & Warzone Season 2 is about to come to a close next week, and with it, everything changes. Here’s our first real tease at Season’s 3 1980’s Verdansk map.

Black Ops Cold War Season 2 Outro Cinematic

Naga’s diversion worked as intended, throwing Woods and his squad off the scent long enough for Stitch to continue his master plan. Armed with fresh intel gathered from the cartel operation in Laos, they urgently deploy to Verdansk. Adler’s time is running out…

Judging from the video and description, it’s clear that Season 3 will see us in a 1980s’ themed version of the Verdansk map. It’s been previously rumored, and just a few days ago, teased that the Verdansk map would be getting “nuked” in order to make way for a new (or perhaps old?) version of it. This video seems to all but confirm that in the very least, we will be getting that 1980 themed version of the map, which will be overhauled visually to match the time period.

Guess we won’t know for sure until next week when season 2 is over, though one thing is certain, and that’s some type of in-game event happening April 21.

Days Gone PC Release Date Revealed, Hitting Steam and Epic Games This May

  by   Tim Villasor  
12:33 pm in News

One of the PlayStation 4’s best open world post apocalyptic adventure games is making its way to the PC pretty soon, as the Days Gone PC release date has been revealed — with the Sony Bend made game hitting digital retail stores like Steam and Epic Games this May.

Check out the new features trailer released by the developers.

Here’s the word on the release straight from the folks at the PlayStation Blog.

Days Gone is coming to PC! We cannot wait to see more players experience the epic journey of Deacon St. John, a former outlaw biker now drifter and bounty hunter trying to survive in a post- apocalyptic open world where danger lurks around every corner. Explore the sprawling Pacific Northwest high-desert on your trusty Drifter bike as you try to maneuver around collapsed bridges, abandoned vehicles, ambush traps and blocked tunnels. Scavenge supplies from abandoned buildings to craft assorted items, barter with local camps and gear up for the ride through an infested ever-changing environment.

We are very excited to share our first look of Days Gone on PC with our features trailer. Catch a glimpse on what PC features you can expect to see when booting up Days Gone for the first time on May 18, 2021. Days Gone is available now for Pre-Purchase from a range of digital retailers, including Steam and Epic Games Store.

On related Days Gone news, a sequel was pitched with co-op and a connected universe — which sadly never got the greenlight from Sony.

Days Gone will be out for the PC on May 18. The PS4 version, which you can read our review here, is already out and available. No word on whether Sony plans on releasing a fully upgraded version for the PS5.

Outriders Update 1.06 April 15 Fixes Inventory Wipe Glitch

  by   Alex Co  
11:24 am in News

Are you one of the many people affected by the Outriders inventory wipe glitch? If so, rejoice! People Can Fly has released the Outriders update 1.06 April 15 patch, and it’s to fix this massive bug! Head on below for the official details.

Outriders Update 1.06 April 15 Patch Notes:

Here’s the full message from People Can Fly:

Hello Everyone,

We have just released a patch on Steam, Epic, Xbox and PlayStation platforms that addresses the bug that has, since the previous update, been causing the inventories of certain players to be wiped.

If your inventory has been impacted, please note that our efforts to restore your items are a separate process from today’s released patch. Restoring the inventory of affected players is still our highest priority, while today’s patch is intended to prevent the issue from continuing to occur. The restoration process is run via our server database and does not require a patch to be implemented. We will have news of this very soon.

IMPORTANT:

  • With this new patch, some players may occasionally encounter multiplayer connectivity issues followed by inventory items being momentarily invisible. This is a known and only temporary behaviour that is part of our three-step inventory safeguarding measures.
    • Restarting your game or waiting a few minutes and then restarting your game should make your items appear again.
  • We aim to address the occurrence of these edge cases in a future patch.
  • If you do encounter a wipe that occurs after installing the patch and is not resolved following a game restart, please immediately report this in this Edge Case sub-thread.

While we are confident that the patch will prevent inventory wipes in future, we do want to use the weekend to continue monitoring the situation and ensure that no more players are encountering any related issues before we move onto the restoration process.

As soon as we are satisfied by the patch’s effectiveness, we will share extra details including timelines of our upcoming Inventory Restoration process.

While our teams have mainly focused on preventing any further inventory wipes, we have also continued to look at ways of improving our restoration process. We will update you with these final details as soon as we have tested it and confirmed what is possible.

For any affected characters currently encountering a “Couldn’t Connect to Server”: these characters will have their inventories returned and they will become fully playable again as soon as our restoration process has completed.

Please keep an eye out for our upcoming announcements regarding restoration and other Outriders related news updates.

In other Outriders news, don’t forget to check out our review of the looter shooter. We also posted the complete list of mods for weapons and armors, too.

Resident Evil Village Upgrades Video Details How Players Survive Through the Adventure

  by   Tim Villasor  
7:26 pm in News

Players waiting for the next Resident Evil have some pretty intense new game mechanics to look forward to, as a new Resident Evil Upgrades video has been released that details how players survive through the course of the adventure.

Check out this new gameplay presentation from the folks over at Gameinformer.

Unlike other past Resident Evil adventures, RE Village will allow players to hunt down wildlife in a manner similar to other action RPGs, and the meat they harvest from these animals can be traded with the merchant character known as the Duke — who’ll cook up some dishes that will improve the player’s statistics such as health, movement speed, and much much more.

Additionally much like the past action oriented RE games, the Duke will also sell weapon upgrades — to improve the player’s arsenal to take on much more powerful foes. Some of the enemies you encounter through the game will also drop valuables and other possessions, which can be sold to the merchant and reward you with currency needed to purchase these upgrades.

There’s an upcoming Resident Evil Showcase digital event this April 15 that promises to detail more information about RE Village. Stay tuned for that!

Resident Evil Village will be released for the PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Google Stadia, and PC on May 7.
