Dirt 5 Gameplay Races Into Cape Town

by James Lara

10:50 pm in News

Hot of the track, Codemasters have released some brand-new Dirt 5 gameplay showing off the Cape Town Stadium racing track.

Down below you’ll find over three minutes of new Dirt 5 gameplay published by Codemasters, viewable in full 1440P and at 60 frames-per-second.

From the press release:

Taking inspiration from arena-based action in previous DIRT games, this stadium complex is the perfect setting for some close-quarters racing with jumps, crossovers and a roaring crowd. Take the action through the stadium, the parking lot, and the outer area for a thrilling route, available in Career, Arcade and online play with up to 12 cars on track.

” Cape Town Stadium in South Africa is ideal for both our Playgrounds custom arena creator mode, and atmospheric, technical and flat-out fun races. Going from the perimeter through the parking lot and into the stadium is an exhilarating experience,” said Robert Karp, Development Director, DIRT 5.

Dirt 5 will be racing onto current-gen console on November 6, with the Xbox Series X|S version launching on November 10, the same day of the console releases. A PS5 version is currently planned, though no definite release date has been given other than this year. If you do happen to purchase the title on either PS4 or Xbox One you will qualify for a free upgrade to the next-gen versions once they have been released.

New PS5 4K Movie Branding Shows Up on New Movie Cover

by James Lara

9:52 pm in News

Spider-Man Miles Morales won’t be the only Spider-Man content dropping this November, as Sony Pictures is set to release a movie collection featuring the web-swinger’s recent releases shortly after the launch of the PS5. To help go tie-in the marketing, a new work in progress box art has been uncovered, showing off a new PS5 branding across the black cased 4K movie packaging.

Spotted on Amazon UK, the 4K triple pack will come with Spider-Man: Homecoming, Spider-Man: Far From Home and Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse in both UHD and Blu-ray for a total of six discs. It’ll ship for £50.00 (estimated $65 USD) and is exclusive to Amazon. What makes this somewhat of an interesting note though is that the packaging features a new branding that is specific to PS5 owners.

Mind you, it does mention “TBC” (to be confirmed,) so the branding may not even be the final one once it releases. With Miles Morales launching along side of the PS5, this new PS5 4K movie essential branding could very well be a one time thing in order to drive up sales. It could also be a way for Sony to help market the fact that the PS5 will be able to play UHD disc, something that the PS4 Pro lacked when it released. Either way, it’s not a bad marketing move by the company, even if it seems like a little one at that.

Xbox Series X Load Times Show Impressive Speed for Backwards Compatible Games

by Tim Villasor

5:09 pm in Hardware

Here’s a closer look at some of the impressive Xbox Series X load times for titles that were built for the Xbox One, and gamers should be very pleased at how current-gen games are benefitting a lot with the new tech!

Head on below for the list of games tested so far (via YouTuber Austin Evans and The Verge), and the differences between loading the game on current and next-gen consoles.

Using an early preview unit and giving gamers a first-hand impression of the system, Evans gives us a quick run on the Xbox Series X|S specs and details — with games running at 4k 60fps, incorporating ray tracing, and most importantly having access to fast load times thanks to the new SSD drive that is built into the new console. The games Evans tests range from newer titles like Forza Horizon that have patches for 4k compatibility on the Series X to older classics like Gears of War that are part of of the Xbox Series X Game Pass. This shows the remarkable differences and potential in playing games with backwards compatibility, and the load times speak a lot about that as demonstrated in the video above.

Here’s the list of games played on the Xbox Series X and comparing the load times to its predecessor systems in the Xbox One X and Xbox One.

Forza Horizon

Xbox Series X – 0:10:14
Xbox One X – 0:45:31
Xbox One – 0:53:37

Halo 5

Xbox Series X – 0:08:58
Xbox One X – 0:33:22
Xbox One – 0:26:33

Red Dead Redemption 2

Xbox Series X – 0:37:00
Xbox One X – 1:37:43
Xbox One – 1:38:03

Gears of War

Xbox Series X – 0:06:42
Xbox One X – 0:10:22
Xbox One – 0:10:57

Call of Duty: Warzone

Xbox Series X – 16 seconds
Xbox One X – 21 seconds

Red Dead Redemption 2

Xbox Series X – 52 seconds
Xbox One X – 1 min 35 seconds

The Outer Worlds

Xbox Series X – 6 seconds
Xbox One X – 27 seconds

Evil Within 2

Xbox Series X – 33 seconds
Xbox One X – 43 seconds

Sea of Thieves

Xbox Series X – 20 seconds
Xbox One X – 1 min 21 seconds

Warframe

Xbox Series X – 25 seconds
Xbox One X – 1 min 31 seconds

AC: Odyssey

Xbox Series X – 30 seconds
Xbox One X – 1 min 7 seconds

No Man’s Sky

Xbox Series X – 1 min, 27 seconds
Xbox One X – 2 mins 13 seconds

Destiny 2

Xbox Series X – 43 seconds 1 min
Xbox One X – 52 seconds

Overall, it looks like the Xbox Series X is capable of cutting load times in half, with some titles reaching even higher. This certainly is am impressive feat. from the console, and what’s more that there are also noticeable increases in FPS and other areas for backwards compatible titles. This should certainly get some Xbox fans excited come the November 10 launch. If you want to learn more about the consoles be sure to read up on the Xbox Series X|S specs and what’s included in the box.

In other recent Xbox Series X news, we now know how much data the Xbox Series X OS will eat up on the console’s HDD.

Modern Warfare & Warzone Season 6 New Maps, Weapons & Roadmap Revealed

by Alex Co

4:16 pm in News

While we got the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and Warzone Season 6 trailer last week, that really didn’t dive in what new stuff we’re getting. Well, that has changed today! Activision has revealed the Modern Warfare & Warzone Season 6 new maps, weapons roadmap and more coming, and there is a LOT!

Even if Black Ops Cold War is on the horizon, that hasn’t stopped the Infinity Ward from pulling all the stops for the game! There’s a Halloween event planned, two new weapons. four new maps for multiplayer and loads more! Check out the new trailer and read up on the details now.

Modern Warfare & Warzone Season 6 New Maps, Weapons & Roadmap:

Modern Warfare Content: New Maps, Modes, and More

Four Free Multiplayer Maps to Cover All Sizes of Combat

Station – Gunfight

A picturesque rural Kastovia train station serves as the backdrop to the latest Gunfight arena.

Operators will want to use the station’s exterior and abandoned military cargo trains as part of a winning strategy. Like other maps of its size, Station has some quirks beyond its simplistic design, beckoning true Gunfight masters to uncover jump spots and tactical angles that may help them crush the opposition.

Every top of the boxcars and passenger car can be climbed on top of, which give superior verticality at the cost of being essentially exposed on all sides. Other objects, such as crates, containers, and even tank parts, can also be used to gain a height advantage or just be used as cover.

Broadcast – Core Modes (6v6)

Veterans of the franchise: welcome back to Broadcast.

Since its cameo in Verdansk within the BCH TV Station zone, this large Multiplayer map introduced in Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare now has a primetime slot in Season Six. Whether you experienced its first iteration back in 2007, in a remastered version since, or within Warzone, expect to drop into familiar territory when infiltrating this recently abandoned communications center.

From the atrium and massive newsroom, to the station’s balcony and nearby office buildings, this map could cater to serious CQB play through numerous tight corridors. Meanwhile, those using assault rifles, LMGs, marksman rifles, or sniper rifles can counterplay SMGs and shotguns with use of various sightlines and the limited, yet still viable, verticality on offer.

Mialstor Tank Factory – Core Modes (6v6 and 10v10)

The larger of the two core Multiplayer maps, Mialstor Tank Factory is built for both 6v6 and 10v10 play, changing its playable dimensions depending on the size of the lobby.

For either skirmish size, expect a mix of indoor and outdoor combat zones with two large buildings – the eponymous tank factory and a warehouse – being the map’s central point of conflict due to sheer surface area and accessible rooftops. Other areas to explore include an abandoned workshop, skybridge, scrapyard, shipping area and residential zone, with some parts of the map sectioned off if it is being used for 6v6 combat.

This map, in either form, caters to all playstyles, but the building’s rooftops and surrounding snowy streets give preference to long-range weaponry. Those who want to use a CQB weapon may want to stick indoors, or use cover such as snowbanks, crates, and vehicles on the outside to avoid getting caught outside their gun’s effective range.

Verdansk Riverside – Ground War

A once-unlabeled landmark on the in-game Tac Map, Verdansk Riverside is a suburb that lies across the frozen Gora River from the Verdansk International Airport, with its northern border defined by cliffs that eventually lead to the Arklov Peak Military Base.

At one point, this sleepy village was taken over by El Traficante, a smuggler that Armistice tracked down through intel gathered here during Operation Harbinger. This area has a few modest two-story homes, some shacks and garages, a pharmacy, school, a public house chain restaurant, and a small construction project that seems to have no end date in sight.

Using available vehicles, squads will navigate within and around this village, as the streets themselves may turn into no man’s land shortly after infiltration. Most buildings will act as cover from heavy machinery, or as a mounting and overlook point for those using long-range weaponry. CQB operators may find it better to clear individual structures out one-by-one or use walls and natural cover to avoid long sightlines and vehicle traffic.

New Modes, Trials, and Challenges:

Killstreak Confirmed: This Kill Confirmed variant comes charging in with multiple changes concerning Killstreaks: These can only be earned by collecting enemy dog tags. However, your streak won’t reset on death, so you’ll want to rush for tags as fast as possible to earn your Killstreaks. Trying to stay alive? Unlike traditional game modes, Killstreak Confirmed also allows players to “wrap” Killstreaks, making it possible to earn the same Killstreak (like the UAV or Cluster Strike) multiple times in one life. The team that collects the target number of dog tags – in spite of the inevitable barrage of Killstreaks – wins the match.

Gun Game TDM: As the name states, this mode combines the random weapon assortment of Gun Game with Team Deathmatch. Pick your loadouts for perks and equipment, then get ready to use whatever is handed out to take down the opposition. Each kill with a given weapon cycles you through a predetermined list of weaponry all the way to a Combat Knife, where one melee takedown with it resets the cycle back to the starting weapon. First team to the target kill count wins the match.

HQ: Firefight: This twist on Headquarters awards team score for both holding the objective and earning kills, almost like a Team Deathmatch. This allows teams to try to catch back up on score between HQ objectives. After a team captures an HQ, respawns are disabled until the enemy team neutralizes it. Hold down the objective and defend it from enemy players to maximize score. First team to the target score wins the match.

Hardpoint: Hills and Kills: Similar to HQ: Firefight, this mode awards team score for playing the objective – holding hills – as well as earning kills. With respawns enabled, this mode could turn into a pure deathmatch, a tactical objective game, or a chaotic mix between the two. First team to the target score wins the match.

Nine Trials to Explore: Rank up this season to earn Trial Tickets, or use tickets left over from prior seasons, and turn them into XP completing a fresh set of challenges. Whether it’s tearing up waves of enemies in either new Juggernaut Trial, cutting corners in the Quad or Helicopter Race, or just taking a Free Roam, these unique side missions add even more variety to over two dozen existing experiences.

Earn Free Items, Blueprints Through Season Six Missions and Challenges: Whether you’re playing Multiplayer or Warzone, the Challenges tab allows you to easily tailor your progression through the Season’s Ranks whether you’re focusing on Daily, Weekly, or Mission Challenges. Be sure to check out this tab to see what the seasonal Missions and their rewards are. The XP rewarded through all challenges, including a new set of Officer Challenge ribbons, will aid in maxing out your Officer Rank and earning this season’s max rank blueprint reward.

SP-R 208 Marksman Rifle (Free Battle Pass System Weapon) – Tier 15

This bolt-action marksman rifle comes as one of the most accurate weapons in its class and with a breadth of customization options. From alternate ammo choices to bolt assembly changes and more, no matter how this weapon is configured, it’s a powerful yet mobile tool for a marksman on the go.

AS-VAL Assault Rifle (Free Battle Pass System Weapon) – Tier 31

This assault rifle, the 13^th member of this weapon category, is a rare Soviet powerhouse chambered in subsonic 9x39mm ammunition and is pre-equipped with an integral suppressor. Combined with the weapon’s high rate of fire, the AS-VAL is built for stealth, accuracy, and high penetration, all on a highly configurable platform.

Warzone Content

Next Stop: Verdansk – Subway Fast Travel System

Get around the Warzone in a flash with the recently opened subway system, known as the “Metro” in-game. This dynamic fast travel system combines existing points of interest with new transportation stations for a high risk, high reward movement option within Verdansk.

At one of a number of open Metro stations around the city, squads can move underground via staircases to find potential item spawns all the way to that station’s platform. Once there, squads can catch a ride on a subway train, which will whisk them off to the next station in seconds.

Despite its “retro” interior, this subway system boasts incredible safety standards; it will not travel to a station that falls outside the safe area during Battle Royale matches, nor move a single inch if there is any conflict aboard its cars.

Otherwise, fighting in and around the station is fair game, making these new and updated locales prime spots for ambushes.

A New Mode, New Weapon Rotation Coming to Warzone

Armored Royale: This fast-paced, high action Battle Royale variant gives every squad an armored Cargo Truck, complete with a turret and plenty of armor plating. Squad members can respawn if their truck is still in one piece, but once that squad’s vehicle disappears, so does their ability to return to the fight. The last squad standing wins, regardless of whether their truck just rolled out of a repair shop or has its parts scattered around greater Verdansk.

Weapon Rotation: Verdansk received a new shipment of weaponry that’s now scattered around the map on the ground or in Supply Boxes. A combination of familiar armaments and new blueprints will be a part of this more streamlined Season Six weapon rotation, which includes six Common, 10 Uncommon, 13 Rare, 18 Epic and 24 Legendary variants.

Activision has also revealed the Season 6 file size for all platforms as well! Take note that PS4 players have already initiated the pre-load since this weekend.

Season Six: File Size and Download Instructions

Please note that the Season Six update will have a download size of approximately 19.6 – 63 GB for owners of the full version of Modern Warfare and free-to-play Warzone, who are up to date with the latest update.

PlayStation 4: 19.3 GB

Xbox One: 22.66 GB

PC: 57 GB (Modern Warfare owners) and 25.5 GB (Warzone only owners)

At Season launch on console, owners of the full version of Modern Warfare will also have to download the Compatibility Pack to access Multiplayer and Special Ops, and the Survival Pack to access Survival. File sizes for these two Packs are below:

PlayStation 4 Compatibility Pack: 7.8 GB

PlayStation 4 Survival Pack: 5.8 GB

Xbox One Compatibility Pack: 8 GB

Xbox One Survival Pack: 5.9 GB

Note that on October 1, Xbox and PC players can access the Survival mode.

You can check out the Activision Blog to read up on the Battle Pass new rewards, and upcoming bundles

Same as before, once the patch is out, we’ll be sure to let our readers know about it.

Tekken 7 Season Pass 4 New Features Coming to All Players Revealed and Detailed

by Alex Co

3:52 pm in News

Just yesterday, we posted the trailer for Tekken 7’s Season Pass 4, which featured the first DLC fighter for the pack. Now for those who don’t own the Season Pass, you’ll still be able to experience the Tekken 7 Season Pass 4 new features when you download the data for it.

In a press release, Bandai Namco Entertainment listed down the new features coming in Season Pass 4 to all players (even if they don’t own the Season Pass), and detailed what they do exactly.

Tekken 7 Season Pass 4 New Features:

New Moves: All TEKKEN 7 characters will be receiving new moves to add to their arsenal of martial arts skills.
Updated UI: More streamlined user interface
Online Play Enhancements: Response improvement / Wi-Fi indicator
TEKKEN Prowess: A new way for players to see their TEKKEN skills through points scoring. TEKKEN Prowess is calculated through a player’s highest owned rank, total rank of all characters, play stats, and the number of matches played.
Rank System Renewal: A new top level rank will be added to TEKKEN 7; those who reach this new highest level rank will be given the title of “TEKKEN GOD OMEGA”.

Note that these are not the complete patch notes, as we’re expecting a roster balance pass to be part of the patch roll out as well. Once we know that, we’ll let our readers know.

Tekken 7 Season Pass 4 will drop sometime in “Fall 2020,” and once it’s released, we’ll let our readers know.

Black Ops Cold War Alpha Is the Most Downloaded Alpha/Beta in COD History

by Alex Co

11:28 am in News

As if the Call of Duty hype train needed more boosting, Activision has today announced that the Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War alpha that concluded earlier this month was the most downloaded alpha or beta in Call of Duty history!

This was announced by the official Call of Duty account today with a short but sweet trailer:

https://twitter.com/CallofDuty/status/1310595121121955840

As the tweet states, PS4 gamers will be able to play more of the multiplayer soon with the upcoming beta! Head on over here for the complete Black Ops Cold War beta schedule. Regarding the alpha, if you didn’t play it, go read up about it in our impressions piece to see what we thought of so far.

Given the hype surrounding Black Ops Cold War, I suspect the upcoming beta will shatter the alpha’s record soon.

Black Ops Cold War will shoot its way out this November 13 on the PS4, Xbox One, PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X.

Roughly 200GB Will Be Reserved for the Xbox Series X OS and System Files

by James Lara

10:55 am in News

As with all devices with a dedicated operating system, the Xbox Series X OS will be taking quite a bit of space on the internal 1TB SSD.

To be exact, the Xbox Series OS (and other system related files and operations) will be taking up 198GB of the internal 1TB SSD that ships with the console. Meaning come November, buyers will only have 802GB of usable space that they can use to download games, media applications, recording, game saves and other types of related data.

To compare, the original Xbox One and PS4 shipped with a 500GB hard drive, with 138GB reserved for the Xbox One OS and system files and 92GB for the PS4. Moving up, the Xbox One X reserved about 220GB according to Forbes, with the PS4 Pro reportedly reserving somewhere between 200-220GB.

Of course this news of space being reserved should come to no surprise to anyone as there has always been some allocation on hard disc for the consoles’ operating system. Still, this does give us a better look at what space we actually have to use now, which is a bit less than most were assuming.

All it really means is that users will need to now better manage what they download and keep on the system if they opt out to not wanting to get an Xbox Series external 1TB expansion card. Of course the easiest and cost effective method though will be to use an external HDD, one you most likely already own for your Xbox console. You won’t be able to run Xbox Series X games off of it, but you can store them so that you can easily transfer them to the Xbox Series’ SSD, saving you a bit of time from actually downloading them. Additionally, owning a physical disc version of a game is another way to help manage disc space.

It’ll be interesting to see what the PS5 will be setting aside for reserved OS and system files, since the SSD is only 825GB compared to Xbox Series’ 1TB SSD. Guess we’ll know hopefully in the coming weeks as some hands-on experience are expected to go live soon. Both consoles will be launching this November.

Ghost Recon Breakpoint Update 1.12 September 28 Now Live. Compensation Rolled Out

by Alex Co

8:18 am in News

Originally set to be released last week, Ubisoft has rolled out the Ghost Recon Breakpoint update 1.12 September 28 patch, and it’s purely for fixes. Given we just had the big Title Update 3.0 patch two weeks ago, this is to be expected.

Check out the changes and even the rewards gamers will be getting given the patch was deployed late.

Ghost Recon Breakpoint Update 1.12 September 28 patch notes:

As mentoned above, Ubisoft has clarified that this patch is a hotfix to mend the crashing issues brought about by Title Update 3.0.0 on all platforms. The maintenance tied to this patch should be over by the time you read this on all platforms.

Given the patch was originally scheduled to roll out last Friday, Ubisoft is granting the following compensation as a reward to all players:

As compensation, we will be granting to all active players:

Desert Eagle | Custom
1200 Skell Credits

As far as we know, there are no gameplay-related changes included in this title update. However, if you notice anything, feel free to leave a comment and we’ll follow up with Ubisoft. And if it pans out, we’ll update the post and credit you.

Hopefully, players will experience less crashes (or none at all) after this patch.

VC from daily bonuses not going into wallet after they’re earned

Tekken 7 New DLC Fighter Kunimitsu Announced in Season 4 Launch Vid

by Alex Co

September 27, 2020 5:45 pm in News

Season 4 of Tekken 7 is almost upon us, and Bandai Namco Entertainment is drumming up the hype by releasing a brand new trailer for it. We have the first Tekken 7 new DLC fighter in Kunimitsu, though with some slight differences. I’ll leave it for you to find out by watching the trailer below.

Kick off Season 4 with the return of Kunimitsu & a new stage arriving Fall 2020 to #TEKKEN 7!

We also have these FREE updates coming your way:
– Online Play Enhancements
– New Moves for all playable characters
– A new top level rank “TEKKEN GOD OMEGA”
– TEKKEN Prowess: A new way for players to see their TEKKEN skills through points scoring.

As you can see Kunimitsu is a different version from the original which we last saw in Tekken 2! Iit does seem like she plays the same, so most likely the character change is only skin deep.

No release date has been revealed yet for Season 4, though we should be getting that soon.

9:18 am in News

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and Warzone players, Infinity Ward has stealth released the Modern Warfare & Warzone update 1.27 patch today! Clocking in at 20GB, players will be curious about this no doubt.

Modern Warfare & Warzone Update 1.27 patch notes:

Don’t expect any official patch notes to drop, as this patch is the preload for Season 6 of Modern Warfare and Warzone! It mentions that it can be installed on September 29, which is when Season 6 is starting.

Same as in Season 5, this patch is being deployed in waves (meaning not everyone is getting the download all at once) as to lighten the server load.

It’s also only available on PS4, as the Xbox One doesn’t allow patch pre-loading.

Activision has already released the Season 6 cinematic for Modern Warfare and Warzone, which confirms new Operators! We’re expecting a new map, weapons and modes to make its way out as well. We should be getting the official notes this Monday, and once we do, we’ll let our readers know.

In other Call of Duty news, the Black Ops Cold War PS4 closed beta is looming nearer and nearer! If you haven’t had the chance to try the alpha earlier this month, go read our impressions on it.

For Zombies fans, Treyarch will give us a taste of what’s coming to the mode tomorrow, Monday, September 28! Here are the first few images available.

Report: Starfield First Look Surfaces via Leaked Images

by Alex Co

September 26, 2020 9:06 pm in News

While the big Bethesda news the past week is Microsoft’s acquisition of the entire company and its IPs, new Bethesda news has surfaced thats not connected to that, and it’s our first look at Starfield!

For those not familiar with the brand, Starfield is the first new Bethesda IP in 25 years, setting itself to be a massive RPG set in space. There has been no confirmation whether the game will feature multiplayer elements just yet, but that hasn’t stopped us from reporting about it. On 4chan, an anonymous member posted what they claim to be our first look at Starfield via images!

Image showing a character out in space. We can see the UI, which features a health and stamina bar, along with an oxygen meter. The next one below is a model of a spaceship.

It’s hard to judge whether these are real or not, though given this is 4chan and all we suggest you take this “leak” with a grain of salt. We’ve reached out to Bethesda about the images’ legitimacy and will update the post if we hear anything back.

Once we know more info regarding Starfield, we’ll let our readers know.
