With Ubisoft pulling back the curtain of Rainbow Six Siege Operation Void Edge’s new Operators, some players might be wondering what the Rainbow Six Siege upcoming changes will be when these new Operators are rolled out in the Y5S1 (Year 5 Season 1).patch.

As part of the Operation Void Edge Operator reveal, Ubisoft has given us a sneak peek at some of the Rainbow Six Siege upcoming changes. Note that these are not the complete patch notes, but a look at the reworked map, as wellas some of the new features, gameplay updates and more.

  • Lesion nerf: line of sight and proximity required to see Gu Mines, removed initial damage, increased damage over time from 4 to 6

Same as with every big seasonal patch, expect a massive list of gameplay tweaks for the current Operators and other stuff too.

Titanfall 2 Effect and Cause Making Of Video Breaks Down the Game’s Best Level

If you played Titanfall 2’s single-player campaign (and you should since it’s friggin’ amazing), you no doubt remember the “Effect and Cause” level. Before you read any further, we’ll be diving into spoiler territory here regarding the Titanfall 2 Effect and Cause stage, so proceed at your own discretion, alright?

The Effect and Cause level not only managed to bring platforming elements into the game, but it also melded it with phasing and time-jumps in a way that I’ve yet to see in any first-person campaign (or any campaign for that matter). If you’re a fan of that or just Titanfall 2 in general,  you’ll want to watch this “making of” video that has Respawn Entertainment Senior Designer Jake Keating talk about the level and how it’s structured and more.

Again, if you’ve yet to play Titanfall 2’s single-player campaign or multiplayer, I suggest you do so right now. This game is probably the best shooter this generation, and had the unfortunate standing to be released between a Battlefield and Call of Duty game.

Speaking of Titanfall 2, it made our Best Multiplayer Shooters of the Decade list, and read on why.

Where would you rank Titanfall 2’s single-player campaign and the Effect and Cause level among the cream of the crop?

KNOWN ISSUES

  • Picking up an item on the upper floor of a watchtower can crash the game

Regarding the DayZ 1.07 crashing issues, this seems to happen when players access the inventory.  Bohemia issued a statement and acknowledged it along with frame rate drops as well.

Dear Survivors,

yesterday’s 1.07 Update regrettably introduced several new issues to the game. To be as transparent as possible with you, we would like to go into some detail on those problems and what we intend to do about them.

The game crash (blue screen on PS4), that most of you are currently experiencing, is a consequence of the recent work that was put into the inventory. However, as our inventory is quite complicated with countless options of switching and swapping on both the PC and console inventory, this error occurred on the consoles, as a result from the fixes. Our programmers are currently going through all interactions that are moving items to adjust them.

We have also seen a server crash appear which is most likely tied to the physics-based dropping of large items. This issue also seems to appear more often on console servers. So we will most likely revert the change temporarily, until a more solid solution is found.

An issue not as game-breaking, but certainly frustrating, is the voice-chat being triggered during inventory navigation. While we are currently prioritizing the crashes, we will fix it as soon as possible.

Last, but not least, we have received your reports of FPS-drops during the gameplay. But as we haven’t been able to find their cause yet, we would ask you to provide us with some data on where you are experiencing the lag. Critical information is here:

  1. The location your character is at
  2. The server you are playing on
  3. If there is anything unusual about this location, be it a player-made base, large amounts of loot, or just many structures

We will continue to focus on these priority issues, and hope to have fixes tested and ready for release by the beginning of next week. We apologise for the inconveniences and hope to have the problems resolved swiftly.

Hopefully, a fix for this is deployed soon, as it’s never fun for anyone to have their console crash from a game.

Are you experiencing the DayZ update 1.07 crashing issue? Have you found a fix or workaround? If so, let us know down in the comments.

Modern Warfare Regiment Colors Abuse to Be Fixed, “Clear All” Green Dot Feature Planned

As part of this week’s big Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Season 2 patch, Infinity Ward introduced “Regiments” into the game, which is sort of a Clan system like those found in other shooters. Unfortunately, though, a Modern Warfare Regiment color abuse is happening, which is an annoying exploit.

Over on Reddit, a user pointed out that some gamers are exploiting on how Modern Warfare Regiment colors can be changed to blue (which is what the dot above your username will look like to friendlies) to fool enemies into thinking they’re teammates.

Infinity Ward developer Paul Haile jumped in the thread and clarified that the studio is looking to fix this along with other protections against the creation of regiments that have invalid characters in their tags.

Hi everyone –

This is a bug. Colorized names is not intended to be something players can do.

We are doing a pass now to fix regiments that have offending tags set up causing their names to be colorized.

We are also implementing additional protections against the creation of regiments that have invalid characters in their tag.

This should be cleaned up soon – feel free to report players with colorized names and we will take a look.

Thanks.

Aside from the Regiments color issue, Infinity Ward has finally confirmed that we’ll be getting a “clear all” feature for the annoying green dot bug! In case you didn’t know, every time you earned something new, be it new weapon attachments, Calling Cards, emblems, etc., you’ll get a green dot/square on the menu portion of multiplayer reminding you that something new can be checked. Unfortunately, though, it always shows something is new even when there is none.

Well, Infinity Ward has confirmed that they working on this as well! In another Reddit thread where the user was complaining about the green dot bug, Infinity Ward Art Director Joel Emslie confirmed that a “clear all green dots” feature will be coming in the near future.

Bugs aside with the green bread crumb. We are pushing to get a clear all current green dots in the menus button. Hoping sometime in the near future stay tuned.

While there’s no ETA for the changes mentioned, the fact that Infinity Ward has confirmed they are being looked at is very welcome news indeed. Don’t forget to check out the changes rolled out by Infinity Ward today (Feb. 14).

Warframe Protea Gameplay Shown, Upcoming Warframe Events Announced

Two new Warframe events have been revealed along with another look at some Warframe Protea gameplay at today’s Warframe devstream.

Announced during the devstream, Warframe will be receiving a couple of new events in a future update. The sound team didn’t go too in-depth for the story of these events, considering the stream focus was on the game’s sound design, but they did give us some brief descriptions of both the events.

Operation Scarlet Spear – The Sentients Have Reached The Veil Proxima

Tenno squads in Raljacks and on the ground must link up their operations to quell the invasion.

The Deadlock Protocol – The Corpus Are Attempting A Resurrection

Uncover secrets about their founder and end their plans with the new Warframe, Protea, in a newly remastered tileset!

The newly remastered tileset has been described to bring a ” fresh new representation” for the Corpus faction, all while maintaining the original feel that everyone had for them. No time window was given as to when we can expect these to drop, though in the very least we know that the new Warframe, Protea will release with The Deadlock Protocol.

Missed it? Catch up on the latest Warframe News

And speaking of Protea, the devstream also showcased some brand-new gameplay footage of the new Warframe that you can check out below. Again, because this stream was centered around the sound design, the gameplay footage down below is also around that, seeing that this is the first time the Warframe has any sound to it.

Tennocon 2020 Event Date Announced

Tennocon 2020 is officially starting this July.

Announced during their Devstream, members of the Warframe sound team took to reveal the official start date for the annual Tennocon event. Tennocon 2020 will take place in London, Ontario, Canada and begin Saturday, July 11th. The event will not only give the community an opportunity to meet-up with one another but also offer a number of developer panels and Q&A segments. Much like last year’s event, we can definitely expect to see major announcements around Warframe and it’s future expansions.

The last major Warframe expansion, Empyrean released last December. It introduced a number of new features, though the most notable one being the ability to control spaceships. Digital Extremes stated that Empyrean would just be the start of the grander vision for Warframe’s future, with it eventually allowing players to connect to more planets. Perhaps we will see more news centered around this at Tennocon along with the long await Raids that missed the 2019 roadmap release. We also expect to hear more on the New War that many are currently anticipating.

Tickets currently aren’t available to purchase just yet, but if you want to stay in the loop as to when they become available, be sure to sign-up for email alerts on the official Tennocon website. You can sign-up for alerts here: Tennocon Event Page

Final Fantasy 7 Remake Opening Movie Released

Square Enix has today revealed the Final Fantasy 7 Remake opening movie! Those who remember the PS1 original, this is vastly different from what you remember. Not only is the music revamped to feature orchestrated new music, but the visuals are definitely a huge step up, too.

The planet’s very life force is drained as Mako energy by the shadowy Shinra Electric Power Company.

In the city of Midgar, a flower merchant gazes upward as a train pulls into a station…

FINAL FANTASY VII REMAKE is a reimagining of the iconic original with unforgettable characters, a mind-blowing story, and epic battles.

The story of this first, standalone game in the FINAL FANTASY VII REMAKE project covers up to the party’s escape from Midgar, and goes deeper into the events occurring in Midgar than the original FINAL FANTASY VII.

In addition to that, Square Enix has also announced that fans can experience the music from Final Fantasy 7 Remake live during the  Orchestra World Tour starting in Los Angeles this June.

At the June 14 concert, vocalist Yosh will be present as well to perform the theme song for the remake titled “Hollow.” You can read up on more details regarding the concert, right here.

Final Fantasy 7 Remake will be out this April 10, 2020, since it got delayed by a month. Read up and watch the leaked FF7 Remake demo here.

Dead by Daylight Chapter 15 Teases New Killer, International Tour Announced

There’s a new killer lurking around, as Behavior Interactive today released the first teaser for Dead by Daylight Chapter 15 .

The teaser is pretty short, with the only hint of who this new killer is being a bloodied chain.

Like we said, short and it’s really anyone’s guess as who this Chapter killer will be. At this time, most are speculating that it may be Hellraiser’s Pinhead character due to the chain. In the films, Pinhead is shown to have many supernatural abilities, though his preferred method of killing typically revolves around him using his mental powers to control chains with hooks at the end of them. It is definitely a possibility and one that would make many happy as it has been a fan request for a long time now.

We should expect to hear more about Dead by Daylight Chapter 15 real soon, especially with their international tour starting at the end of this month at PAX, followed by GDC next month.

The full tour schedule can be found below.

  • PAX East — In late February, Behaviour will attend Boston’s leading gaming convention to meet with fans and press.
  • Game Developers Conference— In March, the developer will head to San Francisco for GDC to discuss their 2020 lineup with journalists.
  • TwitchCon EU— In early May, Behaviour will set up community events for fans at TwitchCon EU in Amsterdam.
  • Dead by Daylight™ 4th Anniversary—Behaviour will host its second Dead by Daylight annual event in Montreal to celebrate the game’s 4th Anniversary.
  • E3— In June, the team will head to Los Angeles for the most anticipated gaming convention in the U.S. to meet with journalists and showcase their titles.
  • Gamescom— In August, Behaviour will head to the largest gaming convention in the world to meet with journalists and fans.
  • PAX West— In late August, the developer will host a large booth where press and fans can check out its latest titles.
  • TwitchCon NA— In September, Behaviour goes to sunny San Diego to meet with the biggest influencers and fans.
  • EGX— In October, the developer will attend the U.K.’s premier video games show for the first time ever and host a community get-together for the U.K.’s amazing gamers and press.
  • DreamHack Atlanta — In November, Behaviour will expand its conference presence in the Southeastern U.S. by attending DreamHack Atlanta for the first time.

Dead by Daylight is now available on the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC, and Nintendo Switch.

Rainbow Six Siege Operation Void Edge New Operators Revealed

Hold on to your seats, Rainbow Six Siege players, another new Operation is coming to Rainbow Six Siege! Called “Void Edge,” we’ll be getting another new set of new Operators, reworked maps, and more. Check out a brief trailer revealing the Rainbow Six Siege Operation Void Edge new Operators below.

Called Iana and Oryx, the full reveal will be happening this weekend February 15 at the Six Invitationa. We’ll get the details up as soon as we know them. Over on the official Rainbow Six site, Ubisoft has posted a letter.

“Six,

I know, I know, but you’re going to have to get used to the title someday. Can’t have all of the power and none of the kowtowing. You might start to think you’re a regular Joe again, and then where would we be?

I looked into the newest additions to Rainbow, like you asked. Iana was an open book – family of engineers, excelled in academia after busting out of the air force for reasons beyond her control. You’ve got to be a pro at keeping a cool head to go into orbit, at least in any kind of technical capacity. She’s stable, sure, and predictable, but that doesn’t mean her tactics are the same. I like what I’ve seen so far, and I look forward to frustrating her attempts to gather intel in future matches.

Oryx was a different story. In that, there isn’t much of one. I know he comes highly recommended by Kaid, that he’s the second-in-command as far as the Fortress goes, and I trust your judgment. Still, those 15 years where he disappeared from local AND international records give me pause. I’ve met him. I like him, or what little he’s been willing to show me of his personality. The problem is, he’s a mystery, and I don’t like mysteries in my line of work. They give me ulcers. But, as a part of the team, I’d much rather he was on my side than someone else’s. And I’m not going to lie – having the chance to observe him more closely in the field will give me the data I need to put my fears to rest.

The two of them coming on board at the same time, that’s where I scratch my head. On the one hand, you’ve got technological smarts that are out of this world (literally) and on the other, a guy who could bench-press a hundred and fifty pounds with just his face. He’s not stupid, and she’s not weak, they’re just… diametrically opposed, both in their life experiences and in how they view the world. The one thing they share is a love of the element of surprise, of catching people off-guard and seeing how they react. I never would have guessed it just from looking at them.

I’ll ask again, with no hope of a clear answer – where do you find these people? My training in psychology is largely in identifying pathologies, so my hat’s off to your teambuilding expertise. But then again, that’s why you’re Six. And it’s why I’ll keep reminding you of that fact until the cows come home.

— Miles”

Stay tuned for the full reveal of the two new Operators this weekend.

Modern Warfare Warzone Gameplay First Look, Item List Revealed (Update)

Following yesterday’s big Call of Duty: Warzone leak, we now have something more and it’s none other than Modern Warfare Warzone gameplay! Note that as of now, we’re not sure whether it’s called Call of Duty: Warzone or Modern Warfare Warzone or something else entirely.

The original video showcasing gameplay of Warzone was uploaded by YouTuber and reliable Callof Duty leaker TheGamingRevolution before Activision laid down a copyright strike on it. Having said that, YouTuber Mr. Ghost Gaming uploaded it on his channel (and even placed his own logo to cover up TheGamingRevolution’s which is just classy), which you can watch below! Note that this shows the training area, so don’t get too excited. That said, it is legit gameplay.

Outside of the Modern Warfare Warzone gameplay, we now have the item list too! Over on Twitter, reliable Call of Duty leaker TheGamingRevolution has shared an in-game image of the “Suppply Station,” with in-game prices of the equipment players can use in Warzone!

Given the leaks, we’re expecting Infinity Ward or Activision to spill the beans very, very soon. Maybe a new trailer? Perhaps unveil the new mode entirely and let players have at it? We’re awaiting it as much as you are.

What do you think of the leaked gameplay so far? And are you excited for a battle royale mode in Modern Warfare?
