Warframe PS5 Release Date Set for Nov. 26, Here Are the New Features

  by   Alex Co  
11:11 am in News

Tennos migrating from the PS4 to PS5, you’ll be able to shoot, slice and loot your way to new-gen platforms, as Digital Extremes has announced the Warframe PS5 release date is set for November 26! Check out the previously released trailer as well as the list of new features PS5 gamers can expect from the hit free-to-play shooter.

Warframe PS5 Release Date: November 26 (worldwide)

New Features:

ENHANCED POWER AND FIDELITY IN THE NEXT GENERATION
Taking full advantage of the power of next-gen consoles, Warframe will run at up to 4K resolution and 60fps. Drastically improved loading times will zip players into the action as fast as possible, creating a seamless experience from player-filled towns to massive Open Worlds.

The all new Enhanced Renderer introduces dynamic lighting in unprecedented ways to Warframe. From the neon underbelly of Fortuna, to our newest landscape on the Infested moon of Deimos… there’s no better place to see the stunning differences. The light from the sun now casts long shadows through the trees, foliage creates dynamic shadows as players stalk through it, and the reflections of the dense Cetus market can be seen across each Warframe as they stroll through.

A game-wide texture remaster adds new levels of detail and enhanced color throughout the experience and reduces the space Warframewill take up on players’ hard drive!

SQUAD UP WITH CROSS-GENERATION PLAY
This new hardware generation delivers on the promise of cooperative team-play by giving squads around the world one of their most desired features: cross-generation play!

For PS4 and PS5 owners, this means Tenno can move seamlessly between platforms, playing with teammates regardless if they’re on PS4 or PS5. Gamers’ profiles and progress will be saved and will follow them as they move onto PS5.

Look for details on Xbox One Series X cross-generation play in the future on Warframe.com.

ACTIVITIES, NEXT-GEN CONTROLS & MORE ON PLAYSTATION 5
The next generation of Warframe takes advantage of many of the new and unique features of Sony’s PlayStation 5.

Progress Activities will show you exactly how close you are to earning a Trophy, while Challenge Activities will get you right into the action with no need to load the game. The first will be a Sanctuary Onslaught Challenge, with more to come!

At launch using the PS5’s Adaptive Triggers, players will experience the impact of every shot fired with each trigger pull, bringing a new level of immersion and thrill to your actions without comprising the tight, fast, fluid and responsive controls that you can only get in Warframe.

In the future, as Digital Extremes explores Sony’s advanced Haptic technology, it aims to further immerse the player with unique vibration patterns that match in-game environments: from feeling the cold snow crunch under your feet on Venus in contrast to the soft-footing of a dusty Mars settlement!

PS+ PACK EXCLUSIVE: DUALSENSE INSPIRED SYANDANA (AND MORE)
PS5 and PS4 owners can celebrate the next generation by downloading the free, exclusive Warframe®: PlayStation Plus Booster Pack (an approximately $30 value) to get started. This exclusive pack contains a new Sedai Obsidian Syandana — a design inspired by the new DualSense Controller — an Experience Booster, in-game Currency Booster, Credits and Premium Credits.

Xbox Series X gamers, Digital Extremes will announce the release date for the platform in the future.

Hitman 3 Adds New Location in Chongqing, 4K, HDR, 60fps on New-Gen & PC

  by   Tim Villasor  
10:45 am in News

Hitman fans who are eagerly looking forward to the return of Agent 47 are going to be getting some nice visual updates for Hitman 3, as IO Interactive has revealed via a new trailer a brand new location for the game in Chongqiing and confirms that 4K, HDR, and 60fps (frames-per-second) are supported on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.

Here’s the new trailer showing the pretty smooth looking location based on the megacity of the same name in southwest China.

As you can see from the trailer, IO Interactive has added improved lighting and reflections, improved animations, a lot more NPC’s, and better effects that will also be carried over to locations from Hitman and Hitman 2 — as players can import their progress and data if they own the first two games.

In case you missed the overview of Hitman 3, here it is from the game’s official website.

Death Awaits.

Agent 47 returns as a ruthless professional in HITMAN 3 for the most important contracts of his entire career. Embark on an intimate journey of darkness and hope in the dramatic conclusion to the World of Assassination trilogy. Death awaits.

Play Your Way.

Experience a globetrotting adventure and visit exotic locations that are meticulously detailed and packed full of creative opportunities. IOI’s award-winning Glacier technology powers HITMAN 3’s tactile and immersive game world to offer unparalleled player choice and replayability.

A World of Assassination.

HITMAN 3 is the best place to play every game in the World of Assassination trilogy. All locations from HITMAN 1 and HITMAN 2 can be imported and played within HITMAN 3 at no additional cost for existing owners – plus progression from HITMAN 2 is directly carried over into HITMAN 3 at launch.

Be sure to check out our other related features about the Hitman series here.

Hitman 3 will be released for the PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, Google Stadia, and PC on January 20, 2021.

Demon’s Souls Update 1.003 November 24 Slashes Out

  by   James Lara  
10:03 am in News

Bluepoint Games has released the Demon’s Souls update 1.003 November 24 patch on PS5 today. It weighs in at just 225MB, which suggests that it’s purely for bug fixes and the like.

Demon’s Souls Update 1.003 Patch Notes:

Outside of weighting roughly 225mb, as of right now there are no known patch notes. We can only assume this is to address some of the crashes players have been experiencing and potentially the rest mode issues. We will be monitoring community feedback, and will update this post once any confirmed fixes have been discovered. However, we most likely won’t be getting any official changelog as Bluepoint Games  have yet to detail any of the fixes in the last 1.002 update.

Chances are these are for some minor bug fixes, though for those wondering this does not patch to recently found luck glitch that allows you to exploit gold coin for an insane amount of luck that players have been abusing to gain max soul level. Nor does this update appear to fix “wrong warping” a new glitch that allows players to warp to a different location in a means that isn’t normally possible.

Again, we will be updating this post should anyone from the community find any substantial changes for the game. In the meantime, in case you haven’t heard and have been living under a rock these past few days, the secret door that was added in the remake of Demon’s Souls has been cracked open by user Distortion! You can read up on the details here: Demon’s Souls Secret Door Puzzle Has Been Solved

Complete Black Ops Cold War Weapon Stats

  by   Alex Co  
November 23, 2020 7:11 pm in News

For the first time in a Call of Duty game, the developers actually put in the numerical values of gun attachments and how they affect each weapon. While that in itself is awesome, what if you can check out the complete Black Ops Cold War weapon stats?

Thanks to YouTuber XclusiveAce, we can do just that! The content creator best known for publishing gun guides and stat breakdowns of gun attachments has released his full Black Ops Cold War weapon stats one sheet! This treasure trove of info has the damage numerical values, how many shots it takes to kill a character and loads more! Note that this only has the guns released at launch, and of course, there will be constant patches, so expect these values to change. We’ll be updating the table once a new balance patch or new weapon has been rolled out, but if you’d rather check the one sheet yourself, it’s right over here as a Google document.

Here is a short sneak peak of the sheet but if you want more information, go and look at the Google document above!

Mortal Kombat 11 Movie Skins Teased

  by   Alex Co  
6:57 pm in News

For those old enough (like me), or just familiar with video game movie adaptations, chances are you’ve heard or seen the original Mortal Kombat movie that was released way back in 1995. It looks like NetherRealm Studios is looking to bring back a blast from the past, as a couple of Mortal Kombat 11 movie skins have been teased!

Over on the official Mortal Kombat Twitter page, we got what seems to be a sneak peek at the Mortal Kombat 11 movie skins for Sonya Blade, Johnny Cage, and Raiden.

https://twitter.com/MortalKombat/status/1330996225823240192

Based from the image, it looks like this will be part of the Mortal Kombat 11 Ultimate edition or possibly the Kombat Pack 2. In case you didn’t know, Sonya Blade was played by Bridgette Wilson, while Johnny Cage was portrayed by Linden Ashby. Raiden was played by Christopher Lambert, who was pretty well known back then thanks to the success of the Highlander movie franchise.

Of course, no official announcement or release date for these skins have been announced just yet, so we’re unsure as to when we’ll exactly get to rock these. Once we know more info, we’ll let our readers know.

Black Ops Cold War Upcoming 2XP, 2x Weapon XP & Nuketown 24/7 Starts Tomorrow

  by   Alex Co  
4:48 pm in News

If you find the weapon XP in Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War a little bit slow, then rejoice! Treyarch has announced that a Black Ops Cold War upcoming 2XP and 2x weapon XP event is starting tomorrow alongside the free Nuketown map drop!

The Black Ops Cold War upcoming 2XP event starts tomorrow and will last until November 30, which means you have about a week to grind your progression and weapon attachments!

We are expecting a patch to be deployed with the Nuketown map, and if so, maybe the sniper buff confirmed to be on the way by Treyarch will be part of it too. Don’t forget to redeem your free Nuketown weapon bundle as well (which you can read about here).

Of course, there is the chance that there’s no patch planned for tomorrow, as the Nuketown map data could have been included in this past week’s title update. Once we know more details, we’ll let our readers know.

Black Ops Cold War Sniper Buff Incoming, Buff or Nerf Decisions Influenced by TTK

  by   Alex Co  
November 22, 2020 5:59 pm in News

Just a few days ago, Treyarch released the first big patch for Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War that fixed a few bugs, and hoisted a lot of weapon changes onto the table. If you’re a sniper in the game, you’ll be glad to know that a Black Ops Cold War sniper buff is incoming!

This was revealed by Call of Duty Game Designer Tony Flame, who tweeted the two images as the “next order of business:”

As you can see, that’s a sniper rifle on the in-game display rack as well as someone “buffing” a car.

Flame also gave some insight on the buff and nerf decisions from the studio, and mentioned how time-to-kill (TTK) is king!

A little insight into the core of “Buff” or “Nerf” decisions. Time-To-Kill (TTK) is king, it’s paramount to preserve the best TTK experience across weapons over time. When a weapon far exceeds that baseline, we must nerf it to respect the TTK, and likewise buff to get it there.

Chances are, we’ll see this patch come either this week with the Nuketown map drop, or in the game’s first season set for launch in December.

Would you want to see a Black Ops Cold War sniper buff or are they fine as they are now?

Black Ops Cold War Nuketown ’84 Release Date & Nuketown Weapon Bundle Announced

  by   Alex Co  
November 20, 2020 7:30 pm in News

While Activision has announced that Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War will get the  game’s version of Nuketown called “Nuketown ’84” for free, the actual day of availability has been announced today. The Black Ops Cold War Nuketown ’84 release date is set for November 24, which is next week!

Aside from the release date, there’s a new trailer ad a free Nuketown Supply Drop revealed today too!

As for the free Supply Drop, players who got the game at launch or in its first week, will get it for free!

How to Redeem

As a special thank you to everyone who played Black Ops Cold War since its release, every player who logged in from when the game launched on November 13 to 10 a.m. PT on November 20 will automatically receive the Nuketown Weapon Bundle. You’ll find all its items waiting for you in-game by November 20 at 12 p.m. PT, well ahead of Nuketown ’84’s debut on November 24.

The Nuketown Weapon Bundle will also be included with every purchase of Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War from now until December 4 at 2 a.m. PT, making this Black Friday season a great time to jump into the next generation of global combat if you have yet to experience it. So long as you log in and play the game before December 4, you’ll receive this bundle on top of any edition-specific rewards included with your purchase.

Here’s the content of the Nuketown Weapon Bundle:

      “Last Stop” Epic Shotgun Blueprint – With this Weapon Blueprint, any enemy who dares to challenge you in close quarters will know it’s the end of the road. This configuration includes a 21.6” Paratrooper Barrel, a 6 RND Tube Magazine, a Milstop Reflex Optic, and a Commando Assembly Stock. When combined, these attachments give the shotgun a faster fire rate, better damage range, increased ammo capacity, slightly quicker speed when aiming and shooting, and a clearer sight picture — all the ingredients needed for a great secondary weapon.

·      Six Weapon Charms – These six mannequin Weapon Charms are a perfect fit for any long-time Nuketown fan. Pick your favorite well-sculpted hunk – “Chad,” “Thad,” or “Vlad” – or a flawless friend – “Karen,” “Sharon,” and “Bobbi McDaren” – to give your favorite weapon more personality.

·      “Test Subjects” Sticker – Let your enemies know you’re ready to go nuclear with the “Test Subjects” sticker, which can be slapped onto most weapons in the Gunsmith.

·      “Nuketown Legend” Emblem and “Omnibus” Calling Card – Spruce up your player profile with some classic Nuketown imagery through the “Nuketown Legend” Emblem and “Omnibus” Calling Card.

Note: when Warzone transitions on December 10 at the beginning of Season One, all these items will be available for use across your loadouts and profile.

Log into Black Ops Cold War today, or purchase the game, to get the Nuketown Weapon Bundle before its half-life is over.

We should be getting a patch for Nuketown ’84, and once we get that, we’ll let our readers know ASAP. Speaking of which, the first major patch for the game has been released today! Read up on all the changes here.

It’s time to raise the stakes higher than ever before.You’ve broken a convicted spy out of Bolingbroke Penitentiary. You’ve saved the world from an egomaniacal tech billionaire. And you’ve beaten the odds to drain a casino of its cash. This time, you’re taking on an entire island.

Prepare to infiltrate the remote island compound of the world’s most notorious drug dealer in Grand Theft Auto Online’s biggest, most daring, and action-packed addition yet: The Cayo Perico Heist.

It’s up to you to find a way to breach Cayo Perico, one of the most secure private islands in the entire world, evade or neutralize the heavily armed security forces stationed there, and escape with valuable evidence along with as much art, gold and drug money as you can carry.

Choose your tools. Choose your approach. Choose your crew – or even go it entirely alone. Just make it back to Los Santos in one piece.

The Cayo Perico Heist is the biggest GTA Online adventure ever, introducing an all-new exotic Heist location, with a brand-new approach to Heist design that features the ability to play everything solo or with up to three other players. Plus you can acquire new vehicles and tactical weapons, experience new social spaces to dance and party with friends and new world-class DJs, and listen to new radio stations with over 100 new songs. Oh, and a very large, very versatile, and very heavily armed submarine HQ with plenty of other surprises.

Once the title update is released, we’ll be sure to let our readers know. Don’t forget to check out this week’s activities refresh right here.

Borderlands 3 Update 1.20 November 20 Released for PS5 Save Transfer

  by   Alex Co  
1:06 pm in News

Heads up, vault hunters! Gearbox Software has released the Borderlands 3 update 1.20 November 20 patch, and this is exclusive to PlaySation platforms! Don’t expect any gameplay-related changes in this one, as it’s purely for functional purposes.

Borderlands 3 Update 1.20 November 20 Patch Notes:

This is what Gearbox Software tweeted out just now:

A patch has been pushed live that enables players to transfer multiple saves from PS4 to PS5. Thank you for your patience while we worked to address this.
That seems to be it, However, there’s also a new event on-going now called the Golden Path mini-event! Check out the official description of the event below.

Your rewards for saving the universe are about to get Legendary – literally. From November 19 through December 3, get Legendary item rewards for completing select campaign missions during the free Golden Path Mini-Event for Borderlands® 3. Get your mitts on the Lyuda Legendary Vladof Sniper Rifle, Handsome Jackhammer Legendary Hyperion SMG, Nemesis Legendary Dahl Pistol, Hellwalker Legendary Jakobs Shotgun, and more!

From November 19 at 9:00 AM PST to December 3 at 9:00 AM PST, select missions in the main Borderlands 3 story campaign are guaranteed to grant Legendary rewards. Note that this lucrative loot buff does not apply to optional side missions or any missions in campaign add-ons. This is the “golden path” we’re talking about, after all.

If you notice any gameplay-related changes to this update, let us know what they are down in the comments.

  by   Alex Co  
12:43 pm in News

Treyarch has released the Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War update 1.06 November 20 patch, and this is the first significant title update the studio has released since the game launched!

PSA: PS4 to PS5 Disc Upgrades Will Reinstall PS4 Version When Swapping Discs

  by   Alex Co  
11:24 am in News

For those upgrading from PS4 to PS5, it’s refreshing to know that almost all your games will work on your next-gen console, and most even have free upgrades. However, there is one thing Sony or devs haven’t told you and it’s that most PS4 to PS5 disc upgrades will end up taking double the space since it will reinstall the PS4 version upon disc insertion on certain titles.

While it was discovered that the PS5 will default to installing/downloading the PS4 version a few days ago, it seems that physical based upgrades have a bit more of a problem when it comes to taking up space.

For those unaware, games such as Marvel’s Spider-Man Miles Morales, Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, Borderlands 3, and many more offer a free digital upgrade to the ps5 version if you own the a physical disc for PS4. While digital owners don’t have to worry about disc authentication and can delete the PS4 version permanently, this based upgrades will try to forcibly install the PS4 version, even after downloading the PS5 version.

This was tested by us, as we tried with Watch Dogs Legion and Marvel’s Spider-Man. While initially we thought deleting the PS4 version the first time around would fix this issue, upon switching to another game and then switching back to one that offers a free upgrade, the PS4 version would stealthily be installed in the background. We had to verify this after seeing a couple of threads over on the PS5 subreddit

The only reason we noticed this is because while playing Spider-Man we had received a notification saying that the PS4 version is ready to be played (after inserting disc again) , despite deleting the data some time ago.

What this means for end users is that their console may be storing data that isn’t needed. Do note that this doesn’t appear to be the case for every game (and apparently some users period), as Assassin’s Creed Valhalla isn’t performing a reinstall upon inserting the disc a user told us.

If you’ve managed to come across an upgrade that doesn’t do this, let us know down in the comments.

Demon’s Souls Secret Door Puzzle Has Been Solved

  by   James Lara  
9:32 am in News

Nearly a week after it’s release, the Demon’s Souls secret door puzzle has been cracked. For those unaware, this secret door is something the original version on PS3 never had, which meant this drove fans to theorize what could be in it.

Update: Video on how to open the door

 

Taking a cue from their (Bluepoint Games) last remake, The Shadow of The Colossus, the puzzle to unlocking the secret door was all in collecting some newly discovered coins called “Ceramic Coins,”  which were located in the game’s fractured mode. This was discovered by Distortion, who we previously reported on discovering a glitch to allow players to exploit Demon’s Souls collisions.

For those unaware, that’s the armor set belonging to the Penetrator boss!

While not exactly what many were expecting (no MGS remake, sad face) to see, the armor set is still a pretty badass unlockable. Reportedly you will need to acquire 30 coins, which are located in the same spot under the white/black world tendencies.

Once you have them, you will then need to visit the crow and perform a trade, which you will then receive the Rusty Key to open the door. And that’s all there really is to it! No more secrets for now it seems, though we wouldn’t be surprised if Bluepoint Games hid some more.
