The Division 2 PS5 and Xbox Series X Ports Not Coming Says Ubisoft

  by   Alex Co  
February 17, 2020 3:20 pm in News

Just yesterday, we reported that Rainbow Six Siege will be headed to the PS5 and Xbox Series X when the new consoles launch (at least that’s the goal). If you assumed this would be the same case with Ubisoft’s other shooter, The Division 2, you’re sadly, mistaken. There will be no The Division 2 PS5 and Xbox Series X ports.

Ubisoft Massive Associate Creative Director Yannick Banchereau confirmed that there won’t be new versions of The Division 2, stating:

“We are not looking at porting it to new platforms.” 

“What I can tell you is that we are not making a specific version for those for those consoles, we are very much focused on just working on what we have now and making that as good as possible.”

Now this doesn’t mean that The Division 2 won’t be playable on the PS5 and Xbox Series X, as the two new upcoming consoles will have backwards compatibility out of the gate. Just don’t expect new, jazzed up versions of The Division 2 this holiday or beyond.

In other The Division 2 news, Ubisoft has revealed the Warlords of New York expansion hitting the game soon. Read up on that and watch the trailer here.

Are you bummed out by this news or were you expecting it? Heck, does it even matter given backwards compatibility is a thing?

Should the Next Battlefield Game Be Bad Company 3?

  by   James Lara  
2:11 pm in News

If you ask Battlefield fans what their favorite Battlefield game is of all time, chances are high that you’ll hear Battlefield: Bad Company 2 included in the conversation in some form or another — and with good reason. The big question now here is: should the next Battlefield game be Bad Company 3?

While we haven’t heard of any news regarding the next Battlefield game, we do know it’s coming. Rumors surfaced back in 2018 that DICE was developing a new entry in the Bad Company series. We haven’t heard anything about that since, but that doesn’t mean it’s not coming. Long-time fans might want a Bad Company 2 remaster more than anything, but given EA really hasn’t been a fan of that, the chances of us getting an all-new Bad Company game is higher than a remake/remaster.

Here on MP1st, Alex Co and James Lara discuss why (or why not) in favor of a new Bad Company game. Ready? Dive in below!

bad company 2

Jimmy Lara:

No

I still believe that the Bad Company series is probably some of DICE’s best titles that they have ever built. Despite both Battlefield Bad Company 1 & 2 being more focused on smaller-scale battles, the scope of options that they offered kept the game engaging, and the amount of destruction was far ahead of its time as maps could easily be leveled, something still unmatched by later iterations of Battlefield. Matches felt as if they held heavier weight on the player as every action seemed like they matter, rather than just being another fodder of an online shooter. The campaigns themselves were pretty fun, mostly because it wasn’t meant to be taken seriously, which added depth to the characters. To this day we see a lot of what Bad Company introduced (Rush, Squads, etc) in newer Battlefield games, so it’s no surprise that fans are holding the series so dearly and demand a sequel. Yet, perhaps that isn’t entirely the best course of action as somethings are better left as a memory.

Look, I’d love a new Bad Company game as much as the next guy, but the Battlefield games as of late haven’t really been on par with where they should be. This does go without saying that DICE is actively working on fixing their issues, but how many releases must we go through just to get the game we should have had a year or two later? How satisfied are the majority of Battlefield fans with the last few iterations? What about Battlefront seeing that DICE is also developing that series? Sure these games are in a much better position now, but why is there a need for all this backlash to make these changes? Clearly the studio doesn’t know what fans are wanting, which shows even more with recent updates to BFV and it’s TTK.

EA strategy all this generation has been to ship what’s broken now and “try” to fix it later. It’s insane for a company as large as they are to even do this, and because of this I just don’t think a new Bad Company game, or even a remaster would get the same loving treatment it got when the originals released. Like many of the studios under EA’s wings, the people behind the studios that originally built these fan favorites have all moved on to other places. I feel that they are a shadow of their former self that are trying to pick up the pieces that are scattered all over the place.

Don’t get me wrong, IF EA and DICE were to release a new Bad Company game or Remaster the old ones, I’d probably be the first in line to get it, but it’ll be with low expectations. I’d love DICE to blow me away again and Bad Company 3 would be the best way to do it, but the state they are currently in I just don’t have much faith in them. Perhaps with Vince Zampella now having a bigger role at EA and helping multiple studios out with their projects, things may eventually turn out differently, all considering that Respawn Studio has been pushing some quality titles out. For now, I think I’d much rather keep my good memories of the Bad Company series as just that, rather than see them brought back half done and half broken.

Alex Co:

I’m honestly conflicted. I want to say yes, but given how high the chances of this doing more harm than good, I’m leaning on a “maybe.” However, there is a middle ground, though! I’d want DICE/EA to remake Bad Company 2 first.

Imagine if DICE pulled off a Bad Company 2 remake/remaster and nailed it? That would be insane and set up the stage for Bad Company 3 quite nicely. But if they did that (Bad Company 2 remake release) and it bombed? Well, then you’d best not tarnish the franchise name even further, no?

Having said all that, I wouldn’t want DICE to do it, but at the same time, I do want that same core Bad Company multiplayer formula. If you think about what made BC2 multiplayer so great, and apply it to today’s shooters, you’d still get (technically) a very good game. Better visuals? Better sound effects? Re-jig the classes a bit? Add tracer darts back, make entire stages destructible, and the list goes on. While some parts of that might not work in today’s modern shooter formula, I would hazard a guess that a lot of those would still be OK.

My main concern is, most of the people involved in Bad Company 2 have moved on from DICE, so whatever it is we get, might not be as faithful to the franchise as we’d like, which in turn, would sour the taste for a lot of Battlefield fans.

Though if you think about it, releasing Bad Company 3 would seriously hype up the fanbase, which both EA and DICE kinda need right now. And if you add in the next-gen consoles into the mix, well, that could very well be an explosive combination that would do very well commercially and critically.

Would you want another entry in the Bad Company franchise from DICE or would that do more harm than good? We want to hear your thoughts down in the comments below!

Marvel’s Avengers Game Characters Redesign Shows New Thor Look and Other Changes

  by   James Lara  
12:43 pm in News

The latest trailer for Marvel’s Avengers is out and judging by the “old” footage shown off in it, it would seem like Crystal Dynamics has heard some of the fan’s feedback and have once again done some Avengers game characters redesign/changes.

When Crystal Dynamic’s Marvel’s Avengers game was first fully revealed at E3 2019, many were quick to criticize the game’s visual, especially with how some of the character models looked. This was mostly directed towards Black Widow’s “Manly” look, which as we saw last year has actually gone through slight improvements. It now appears that after closer examination of the latest pre-order trailer, Thor now has a new hairstyle along with some general improvements to other areas in the game. Take a look down below at the collection of images we created to show these differences.

Quick note: The changes down below may have in fact been added last October, but due to the limited footage the studio had released we only got a small look at the new revised Thor and could not provide a side-by-side comparison. The latest Pre-order trailer shows the exact same scenes that were present in the original 2019 reveal trailer.

As you can see his hair is now styled and also appears to be softer. One could say that the 2019 version bears a resemblance to Thor’s first introduction in the MCU (Marvel Cinematic Universe) and his 2020 version goes for the style he had in Avenger 2: Age of Ultron and at the start of Thor Ragnorok.

We included this one as it’s the actual in-game model versus a similar scene from the 2019 trailer.

Next is The Hulk.

General lighting has been changed, though that may be explained by the less dense smoke that is now present in this scene. Besides that, there are some minor differences between the 2019 and 2020 build of The Hulk. Like Thor, his hair has been adjusted slightly to give it more details. The “big” difference comes in the Hulk’s chest hair which is now gone in the newer build.

This 2020 build added a focus blur, a very minor change there. The environment, however, is a bit different as the car in the background has more details as does the street. There’s even a very visible puddle (Puddlegate!) of water near Iron Man.


No major changes when you see it as a still image outside of the different lighting. Particle effects do appear to be downgraded a bit when you see it side-by-side in motion, mostly seen in the effect under the carrier. A bit of color was added to the carrier.

An interesting one as the 2019 build featured some very tall hills or mountain ranges in the background. The 2020 build gets rid of these and trades it for taller trees and more man-made structures.

That’s all the changes that we could spot in the trailer, though we are sure there are more smaller ones in there. Sadly we couldn’t get a better look at Black Widows character or Captain American, and for the most Iron Man appears to hold the same visual appearance. Overall we do feel that there have been some improvements (debatable) made, and in the least, it shows that Crystal Dynamics is still hard at work at polishing.  It’ll be even more interesting to see what the team does with the additional months they have received due to Marvel’s Avengers delay. It was originally going to launch this May but has since been pushed back for a September release.

What do you guys think of Thor’s new hair? Did you prefer the old one more or the new one?

How Student Gamers Manage Time for Work and Play

  by   MP1st  
12:28 pm in News

As a college student, you want to succeed in your studies and also have fun with friends while pursuing your hobbies. As a gamer, time management is very important as gaming can be addictive robbing you of time to do other things.

For many students who love video games, time management may be a challenge for them hence they struggle to balance school life and gaming. Many gamers have managed to maintain proper balance and you can do the same. What is required is proper planning and discipline to follow through what you have planned. Here are a few tips to help you balance your work and play

Create and Write Down Your Schedule

This is one of the first things you need to do to manage your time well. Carefully consider your circumstances then create a schedule that will work well with you. Ensure your schedule is specific. Instead of planning to do an assignment in the afternoon, be specific by including the exact time you would like to start your assignments.

As you create the schedule, be realistic and avoid expecting too much from yourself. This may discourage you when you are not able to accomplish everything you set out to do. Be flexible and change your schedule in case of a change in circumstances.

Avoid Procrastination

Strictly following your schedule is important. Procrastination affects other things you are meant to do later on which creates unnecessary pressure when you try to complete many tasks in a short time. It may not be easy at first to strictly follow through the schedule but you will get used to it. Have a reminder on your phone to send you a notification when you need to get started on a certain task. 

You can also download a mobile application that helps you track your progress throughout the week or month and also give you the motivation you need to accomplish your goals. If an emergency arises and you are not able to do some of your tasks, you can always ask for help.

Ask for Help

There comes a time during the academic year when the workload increases and you still have to read, do exams and hand in your assignments on time. During such times, you may have little to no time to spend gaming or any other activity. Asking for help from others may reduce the pressure and help you do things on time.

Joining a study group may help you understand things better and do your assignments faster as you share ideas in the group. If you are unable to complete your assignments on time and you keep asking who will do my uni assignment for me?, better turn to professional writers who are willing to help you with your uni assignments. By doing this, student gamers get more time to relax or take care of other important matters.

Make Use of College Resources

This is one-way students manage to balance gaming and work. The resources available to you in school is dependent on the activities you take part in. Some schools have tutors to help you out in subjects you are weak at. E-learning is also accessible for most institutions hence you do not need to go to the school library to access information that you require. This saves you a lot of time that could be used in doing other things.

Relax

Scheduling time to relax is important so that you do not get burn out from your busy schedule. It is easy to overlook relaxation time in order to complete tasks that are behind schedule. However, this may lower your academic performance in the long run as your ability to focus will decrease. To avoid this, set aside a specific time for relaxation each day and follow through with it.

Sleep

It is advisable to get adequate sleep each night, approximately 7 or 8 hours. You benefit both physically and mentally including better memory, a better immune system and you are more productive after getting enough sleep.

Conclusion

Striking a balance between work and play is possible as long as you have it all planned out. Have a written schedule for all the tasks you need to accomplish and avoid letting unnecessary things from interrupting your schedule. 

When you are overwhelmed by the tasks you need to accomplish, you can ask for help through professional writers online who will do your assignments on time and according to university standards. Finally, getting enough rest and sleep should also be a priority each day.

Overwatch Cartoon and Diablo Anime Shows Being Developed

  by   Alex Co  
11:35 am in News

With Konami’s Castlevania animated series hitting it big over on Netflix, it seems other video game properties are following the same route. While no official announcement has been made so far, an Overwatch cartoon and Diablo anime have both been mentioned in Activision Blizzard Studios co-president Nick van Dyk’s LinkedIn profile.

According to van Dyk’s profile, Diablo is getting the animated treatment “rendered in anime style,” and is currently in pre-production, and will be released via Netflix. As for Overwatch, van Dyk mentions that he has “developed and sold an animated series based on Blizzard’s Overwatch franchise,” though it doesn’t mention which company the series has been sold to, nor has anything official been mentioned about this.

For reference, van Dyk served as a Producer on the Netfixl original animated series Skylanders Academy, which is based on Activision’s Skylanders franchise.

Note that nothing has been announced by Activision, so for now, treat this with a grain of salt, but don’t be surprised if it pans out soon-ish.

Woudl you watch a Diablo anime? Or what about an animated Overwatch series? I honestly think both would go over well with fans, but I’m more curious with how Diablo could shape up and add to the lore of the franchise.

In other Diabo news, don’t forget that Diablo 4 has already been announced, and there’s even gameplay!

Rainbow Six Siege PS5 and Xbox Series X Confirmed, Crossplay and Cross-Gen Planned

  by   Alex Co  
February 16, 2020 5:41 pm in News

With Rainbow Six Siege already in its fifth year since it launched, it seems Ubisoft has no intention of letting the game die anytime soon, even if we’re on the cusp of the next-generation of gaming with the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X. Those wondering, Ubisoft has just confirmed a Rainbow Six Siege PS5 and Xbox Series X versions as well!

Game Director Leroy Athanassof has confirmed that Rainbow Six Siege PS5 and Xbox Series X versions will be available on day one — whenever that might be.

Why I can’t give you a date is because those dates are, in the end, on the people doing the next-gen consoles. What I can tell you is that we are going to be on [the consoles] from launch. When they will release the consoles; but it’s up to them to agree that. For Siege, our target is to be available right at launch.

While that is already good news for Rainbow Six Siege players, Ubisoft has more good stuff planned, and that’s with the integration of both crossplay and cross-generation play! This means that Ubisoft is targeting PS4/XB1 Rainbow Six Siege players to be able to play with PS5/Xbox Series X players at the same time!

Again, this is more a discussion between Microsoft and Sony. We would love to be fully cross-play — have Xbox players matchmaking against the PlayStation players. We are ready to support that. And hopefully, this will happen because as I said, it’s a general move in the industry, and there is nothing that can prevent that. It’s just a matter of time before it happens.

Unfortunately though, Rainbow Six Siege crossplay is just being planned between consoles, and not for consoles and PC.

I don’t think there will ever be console cross-play with PC. The only way we could do that kind of stuff is by letting you do that if you want to. By default, you’re always with console. But if you want to match with these players, to have better matchmaking, or whatever, and get your ass kicked by a keyboard and mouse, up to you.

Lastly, Ubisoft is also looking into offering cross-platform progression as well, which means your Rainbow Six Siege progress on one platform (say the PS4) can be transferred to another (PC, XB1).

While Ubisoft has no timetable on the cross-play and other stuff planned, the fact that they’ve gone public with these plans means that the game has a long life ahead of it. Mind, it’s not that surprising given we just had our first look at Operation Void Edge’s new Operators, and even upcoming changes.

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

  by   Alex Co  
1:17 pm in News

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?

That said, there’s already lots of data packed in the current Modern Warfare build, and we’re suspecting that we’ll get the official announcement before the month is out.

Deluxe Edition:

  • Obisidian Outfit Pack

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

  by   Alex Co  
February 14, 2020 7:34 pm in News

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

  by   James Lara  
7:11 pm in News

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

  by   James Lara  
6:18 pm in News

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

Destiny 2 Xur Location Today and Items – February 14, 2020

  by   Alex Co  
12:06 pm in News

It’s Friday, and that means another Destiny 2 Xur location today and items post here on MP1st! For the full list of items, check it out below.

Destiny 2 Xur location today and items – February 14, 2020:

Xûr, Agent of the Nine

Description:

A peddler of strange curios, Xûr’s motives are not his own. He bows to his distant masters, the Nine.

Location:

Nessus, The Barge, Watcher’s Grave

Exotic Gear:

Name Type Armor Perk Perk 1 Perk 2 Cost
Tractor Cannon Heavy Shotgun 29 Legendary Shards
The Dragon’s Shadow Hunter Chest Armor 23 Legendary Shards
Starfire Protocol Warlock Chest Armor 23 Legendary Shards
Wormgod Caress Titan Gauntlets 23 Legendary Shards

Consumables:

Name Type Cost
Five of Swords Challenge Card

What’s a Xûr?

Xûr, Agent of the Nine, is a strange vendor who randomly appears in a Public Sector in each of the Worlds, depending on the current Flashpoint. 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 reset. If you would like to see all the live conversions of Time Zones, please follow this link here.

Don’t forget to check out this week’s weekly reset of activities as well as this week’s hotfix list of changes.
