Driveclub Servers Shutting Down Tomorrow

While we posted about about last year, racing fans on the PS4 might want a reminder that one of the console’s exclusive racing games, Driveclub, is being taken off the pavement permanently starting tomorrow. Yes, after March 31, 2020, the Driveclub servers will be no more.

Here’s the exact list of things players can still do and can’t do once the servers are offline (via the official site):

PS4/PlayStation VR – DRIVECLUB, DRIVECLUB VR and DRIVECLUB Bikes

Online servers for DRIVECLUB, DRIVECLUB VR and DRIVECLUB Bikes will shut down on 31st March 2020, 23:59 BST. All online features (including online multiplayer modes) will cease on that date. You will still be able to play and enjoy these games in single player offline modes. However, the games have significant amounts of online gameplay, so from 31st March 2020, functionality will be affected in the following ways:

You will not be able to:

  • Use your season pass online.
  • Represent your Club online in multiplayer events or tours.
  • Play online multiplayer and compete in challenges.
  • Create your own events.
  • Compete in leader boards, or share stats and player progress.

You will be able to:

  • Use your season pass on all single player and offline modes. 

  • Continue to play all game (DC, DC VR and DC Bikes) and DLC single player functionality in offline mode.

  • Earn trophies in single player / offline mode.

Released way back in 2014, Driveclub was from the now-defunct Evolution Studios, and was released exclusively on the PS4.

For those who are fans of Driveclub, you might want to race and compete again online just for old time’s sake.

Modern Warfare Server Update Deployed for March 30

Infinty Ward has rolled out a server-side Call of Duty: Modern Warfare server update, and it’s live now. It’s not a playlist update, nor does it do anything to the game’s meta. What it does is fix an issue with the new map, Khandor Hideout.

A patch has just been released across platforms that fixes an area on Khandor Hideout where there was a missing door. #ModernWarfare

For those unaware, there’s a bugged door in the map that can’t be accessed, though it looked like players can. It’s now blocked with some crates, which should prevent people from trying to run through it.

In case you didn’t see it, a new playlist was rolled out by Infinity Ward a few days ago that grouped some of the most played maps of the game in one playlist.

For those that didn’t catch the big update released last week, there’s not only a lot of fixes, but a ton of stuff got leaked which included content coming for Season 3, such as the maps and weapons.

If we spot any stealth changes or fixes made once again, we’ll be sure to let our readers know. If you spot any, feel free to leave a comment to let everyone know.

Rumor: Modern Warfare 2 Remastered Release Date Set for Tomorrow, Will Be Campaign Only (Update)

Following the appearance of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Remastered on the Korean Ratings Board, and the game’s pre-order bonuses being leaked via the Modern Warfare 1.18 patch via dataming, it seems the Modern Warfare 2 Remastered release date is closer than you think.

Apparently, Modern Warfare 2 Remastered will be released tomorrow, Monday, March 30! This was mentioned by leaker Okami on Twitter, who also mentions that Modern Warfare 2 Remastered will be out tomorrow “99.9999%.” He also pinned “March 30th” on his Twitter profile on March 25, seemingly confident Modern Warfare 2 Remastered release date is indeed March 30, 2020.

Same with the Korean Ratings Board leak, the Modern Warfare 2 Remastered release for tomorrow seems to be for campaign only, which is being done intentionally by Infinity Ward since it doesn’t want to fragment the player base from Modern Warfare (2019) and Modern Warfare 2 Remastered multiplayer.

Important to note, Okami is correct in that Infinity Ward is adding old maps in the series to Modern Warfare, as the maps datamined that’s coming for Season 3 are rejigged maps.

Important to note that this is still considered a rumor and a leak, and should not be taken as official in anyway. That said, he/she was spot-on in his Call of Duty: Warzone leak, so we’re optimistic that he/she knows someone from inside Infinity Ward and isn’t just blowing smoke out of their asses.

We’ll know for sure if this is legt come Monday, tomorrow.

Are you ready to dive back into Modern Warfare 2’s highly controversial campaign?

Update (3/30/20): The game is on the PSN Store and the trailer has leaked, stating it’ll be out tomorrow, March 31.

Rainbow Six Siege April Fool’s Challenge Has Players Confused, Consulate Map Pulled

If you’re wondering if there’s going to be any pranks or whatnot for April Fool’s in Rainbow Six Siege this year, well, you’re going to have to figure that out yourself. Ubisoft has announced the Rainbow Six Siege April Fool’s challenge that will net the player a new gun charm! Take a look at what it looks like below.

Unfortunately, though, the vagueness of this challenge has left some players confused, with some stating that players are getting the gun charm at random being the actual joke. Different players have chimed in on how they got the gun charm and so far, there’s no fixed thing that guarantees that you’ll get it.

Some have speculated that the reward is tied to playing in a three-man squad, but there’s no definitive proof of that.

Now, in other gameplay-related issues, those playing the game, you might have noticed the lights go out on the Consulate map. It’s an unintended bug, and Ubisoft has mentioned that a hotfix is coming this week to fix it. In the meantime, they have pulled Consulate on all platforms.

[Mar 27.20] Consulate Map Deactivated
byu/UbiNoty inRainbow6

An update to the Consulate map was released with the Y5S1.1 patch which introduced a lighting issue that caused the map to be much darker than intended. We are working towards releasing a PC hotfix early next week, and Console will have the fix in the Y5S1.2 patch. Until we can release the fix, we have deactivated Consulate for all platforms to mitigate the impact for players.

Once the patch is out, we’ll be sure to let our readers know. If you’re 100 percent certain on how to get the gun charm for April Fool’s, share it below or email us, and we’ll update the post crediting the finder.

Report: Xbox Series X Source Code Stolen and Held for Ransom

Earlier this week, a report came out claiming that the Xbox Series X source code had been stolen, and the individual is asking for a hefty $100 million in exchange for its return.

Website Torrentfreak noted that the individual stole Navi 10, Navi 21 and Arden devices, which is rumored to be the GPU of the Xbox Series X. AMD took action by issuing DMCA takedowns on the Github repository that apparently had the stolen code.  Following, AMD issued this statement concerning the stolen property

At AMD, data security and the protection of our intellectual property are a priority. In December 2019, we were contacted by someone who claimed to have test files related to a subset of our current and future graphics products, some of which were recently posted online, but have since been taken down.

While we are aware the perpetrator has additional files that have not been made public, we believe the stolen graphics IP is not core to the competitiveness or security of our graphics products. We are not aware of the perpetrator possessing any other AMD IP.

We are working closely with law enforcement officials and other experts as a part of an ongoing criminal investigation.

TorrentFreak was apparently contacted by this individual, who opened up a bit of how the files were obtained.

“In November 2019, I found AMD Navi GPU hardware source codes in a hacked computer,” the person explained. “The user didn’t take any effective action against the leak of the codes.”

The source code was unexpectedly achieved from an unprotected computer//server through some exploits. I later found out about the files inside it. They weren’t even protected properly or even encrypted with anything which is just sad.”

She then went on to claim that Arden is indeed the GPU that Xbox Series X will be using, and that if no one pays up the source code would eventually make it’s way online.

That’s a big chunk of change to pay for something without guarantees, and AMD certainly isn’t going to pony up any of that. Of course, as AMD stated, the files could possibly pose no major security risk on the core design. We will just have to wait and see where this all goes.

Resident Evil Resistance Will Feature Jill Valentine as Survivor in a Future Update

While it’s no secret that Jill Valentine is the heroine in Resident Evil 3 Remake, it seems Capcom made a low-key announcement today that Resident Evil Resistance — the free asymmetrical multiplayer mode included in Resident Evil 3 Remake — will feature Jill Valentine as a Survivor.

This reveal was tucked away in the official description of the Resident Evil 3 Remake Jill Valentine trailer.

Jill Valentine’s escape from Raccoon City is fraught with danger, but she still has some dependable allies to rely on… as well as some enemies to watch out for. Jill won’t just be the star of Resident Evil 3, though – she’ll also be added as a playable Survivor in Resident Evil Resistance in a future update.

Speaking of Resident Evil Resistance, the open beta for the PS4 and PC version has been pushed back with no definite release schedule given yet.

Resident Evil Resistance will be out alongside the Resident Evil 3 Remake this April 3 on the PS4, Xbox One, and PC. We should hopefully have a review up in the coming weeks to follow.

Former COD Player Speaks Out on SBMM, Former Sledgehammer Boss Answers It’s All on Activision

While we’ve already posted about Call of Duty: Modern Warfare’s SBMM (Skill-Based Matchmaking) woes, there’s still no official explanation from Infinity Ward or Activision. Well, if a recent tweet from a former head of studio is to be believed, it’s Activision pulling all the strings.

Over on Twitter, former COD pro player Matthew “Nadeshot” Haag spoke out on Call of Duty SBMM, and how he doesn’t understand why studios just don’t create a ranking system mode for the game/franchise.

I’ll never understand why Call of Duty goes through all of the trouble to implement skill based matchmaking but won’t add a ranking system. If you’re going to match me up against better players, why can’t I have a rank to be proud of and work towards?

As these things go, it was directed to someone familiar with these things, and that’s none other than former Sledgehammer Games boss Michael Condrey, who worked on Call of Duty: WWII. Condrey is now the president of 31st Union, a 2K Games owned studio based in California. Given he’s no longer employed by Activision, Condrey now has more freedom to talk about these things, and it seems, based on his tweet, the blame is all on Activision.

Ask ATVI. Never directed into COD from me. Analytics, SB match making, monetization, dedi server coverage, etc all driven from ATVI central tech and production teams. Fustratingly little influence on those corp decisions despite their impact on our games and the COD community.

Given Condrey’s statement, this could very well be the same reason why Infinity Ward has refused to comment on it at all. I mean, they obviously can’t blame their parent company for one of the biggest gripes players have with their game, right?

While I don’t approve of SBMM or how strict it is in Modern Warfare, I kinda understand why Activision is doing it though. I mean , it should benefit new players and rope them in, which in turn, equals more revenue. Hopefully, there’s a good middle-ground players can be OK with soon.

Microsoft Comments Xbox Exclusive Game Development and COVID-19’s Impact

While we already had Halo studio 343 Industries comment on how the global COVID-19 pandemic has affected the studio and the franchise, Microsoft’s Xbox division has given a statement on the Xbox exclusive game development situation and how COVID-19 has affected that as well.

Here’s what Xbox Game Studios Matt Booty had to say about their Xbox exclusive game development (via GameSpot):

We know that gaming connects people during times of social distancing, and we are committed to delivering the highest quality Xbox Game Studios games for our global community of players. At the same time, the health and safety of our XGS development teams is our top priority. Each studio is facing unique challenges and constraints depending on its particular location, and many of our external development partners around the world are similarly affected. We are supporting our studio leaders to make the right decisions for their teams and their individual games during this challenging time.

While games are important to a lot of people, it’s nowhere near important as people’s lives and how they deal with the global pandemic. If this means some exclusive games get delayed, then so be it.

This won’t be the last game studio or game-related announcement that touches on COVID-19, but we hope it’ll be one of the last, as I can’t wait for the world to get over this soon.

Modern Warfare Playlist Update Tweaks Cabin Fever Playlist & Adds It to Hardcore

Just yesterday, Infinity Ward did everyone who craved shoot outs a solid as it introduced the Cabin Fever playlist in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare. This Modern Warfare playlist update lumped Rust, Shipment, Hackney Yard, Gun Runner, and Shoot House into its own playlist.

Unfortunately, a bug within the playlist itself made it so that the Shipment and Rust maps didn’t come up as intended (or at all). Well, that’s now been fixed. Today, Infinity Ward released a new Modern Warfare playlist update that fixes that, and adds the Cabin Fever playlist into the Hardcore filter!

We’re rolling out a playlist update that helps you find more Shipment and Rust matches in the Cabin Fever playlist. We’ve also added this playlist to the Hardcore filter!

As far as we’re aware, there are no gameplay changes included in this server-side update, which is to be expected, as we just saw the release of the 1.18 patch yesterday. And speaking of that patch, data-mined info from it reveals the two new maps and new weapons are set to come in Modern Warfare’s Season 3. We should hopefully be hearing about the new season real soon.

If there are any additional changes spotted in the playlist update, we’ll be sure to let everyone know. Otherwise, enjoy the chaotic mayhem that Rust and Shipment have to offer!

Resident Evil Resistance Beta Delayed on PS4 and PC

In case you didn’t know, the upcoming Resident Evil 3 Remake will include a free multiplayer mode called Resident Evil Resistance. It was originally planned that the asymmetrical multiplayer game will have an open beta on the PS4, Xbox One, and PC. Well, as it turns out, the Resident Evil Resistance beta has been pushed back for at least the PS4 and PC.

UPDATE: There has been a new patched deployed on the PlayStation 4, allowing players to once again gain access to the open beta. PC players can also download the beta again from the Steam Store, or play the current one if they have already.

This was announced today by Capcom citing technical issues.

Due to technical issues, there is a delay for the RE Resistance Open Beta on PS4 and Steam. The XB1 version is unaffected and is available. We’re working to resolve the issue as soon as we can and will keep you updated. Apologies for the inconvenience.

No word yet on what exactly happened or when it’ll become available. As for the Xbox One version, Capcom has already said it’s business as usual, so players can download it for free now and test it out.

Check out more info regarding the Resistance Evil Resistance game modes and mechanics here.

Don’t forget, there’s a Resident Evil 3 Remake demo out now on all three platforms, which you might want to try before the game’s out this April 3, 2020.

Are you looking forward to this multiplayer mode? Or do you think it won’t catch on?

Warframe PS5 and Xbox One Series X Versions Confirmed

With both Sony and Microsoft pushing hard for backwards compability, it’s not surpising that a lot of online games this gen will see the move to next-gen. One of these games is Digital Extremes’ Warfare. In Hong Kong-based Leyou Technlogies’ (which is the parent company of Digital Extremes) latest earnings report, the company confirmed that Warframe PS5 and Xbox Series X versions are on the way,

Leyou Technlogies mentioned this causually when talking about Warframe’s year-on-year decrease in revenue of 12.2 percent, where it also mentioned “other devices” where Warframe is coming to aside from next-gen platforms.

During the reporting period, the revenue of Warframe reduced by 12.2% year-on-year, mainly
driven by three reasons. Firstly, large-scale AAA games with themes and gameplay similar to
Warframe were launched and endorsed by reputable game studios and publishing companies.
The strong market promotion of these highly competitive new products inevitably diverted
market attention from Warframe to a certain extent. Secondly, with the next-generation
consoles to be released by the end of 2020, sales of current models have been declining,
which contributed to a reduced number of new console players. Thirdly, due to the size and
scale of development work related to Empyrean , a milestone content update for Warframe , the
update cadence was temporarily affected and less new game content was released during the
reporting period. Nevertheless, the Company believes that Warframe demonstrates a strong
edge in the highly competitive gaming market. As the game will remain a popular F2P online
game, the abovementioned factors are likely to be fleeting. Meanwhile, the management
is proactively responding to the above hindrances. On one hand, the Group increased the
frequency of its game updates, and further optimised the marketing channel and direction to
boost product exposure. On the other hand, the Group was preparing to expand Warframe to more platforms, such as the next-generation consoles and other devices, to hedge the risk of contracting new users on consoles. The Group is confident that Warframe will enter into a new stage of development, after overcoming these temporary setbacks.

In the same report, it mentions that in calendar year ending December 31, Warframe amassed 57.5 million registered players, which is a 19.5 percent increase from 48 million from the previous year.

This is definitely good news for Tennos everywhere. As for the “other devices,” perhaps Warframe is headed to mobile? That’s the only platform it’s yet to launch on, so it’s a fair assumption.

In terms of Warframe’s new content, Operation Scarlet Spear was released earlier this week on PC, with consoles getting it soon.

Battlefield 5 April Update Rolled Into May Patch

Following DICE’s announcement that game updates for Battlefield 5 will see “short delays” due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the studio has today announced that the Battlefield 5 April update has been pushed back, and will instead be part of the May update.

This was announced today by DICE, where they they also mentioned that the studio will be able to share more details regarding the Battlefield 5 April update and what’s in it sometime in April.

Initially, we were planning to release an update around the start of April, however with all of the changes and the need to create entirely new workflows, we found ourselves up against much more constrained timelines. The April update will now feature as a part of our next update, which we believe we will be able to release in May, alongside all of the changes that we were targeting making in May as well. The alternative option was to deliver April’s update much later than we had planned, and subsequently cause a delay to May’s update. This way, we get a better quality update out to you, in an overall shorter timeframe vs. attempting to publish two updates and needing to delay both of them.
Our next update is otherwise in development right now. I’ll be able to share more with you throughout April about what we’re working on. In terms of some of the smaller stuff that will feature in that update that I can talk to you about today, we’re currently exploring a change to the end of round experience to help ensure that you’re playing in more populated servers, more often, and alongside players of similar skill. We’re also revisiting the colors used on some of our default soldier uniforms, and based entirely on your feedback, we’re looking at changing up the Transport Vehicle Skins used across our maps. All of this in addition to the regular swathe of fixes, improvements, and changes that we’ll talk more about some other time.

DICE says that “this all may move” and that they’ll be open with communications with the player base should anything change. No exact release date has been given to the next Battlefield 5 patch but players should expect it sometime in May.

While we hate game updates that fix issues and add new content to be delayed, it’s perfectly understandable why this is happening given the climate of things.

Fallout 76 Wastelanders Delayed a Week Due to COVID-19

While Fallout 76’s Wastelanders expansion was originally set to come out this April 7, that’s been put off the table by Bethesda. The publisher announced the Fallout 76 Wastelanders delayed news in a letter to the community explaining why it’s being delayed (yep, it’s about the COVID-19 pandemic).

Here’s the Fallout 76 Wastelanders delayed letter in full:

Like others around the world, we’re dealing with the critical situation that’s currently affecting so many of us and our communities”, Bethesda writes. “For the safety of everyone, we have transitioned to remote work, and are limiting our in-person  interactions.”

This has obviously changed the way we work, but rest assured  that critical services for all our live games are fully operating.

Hwever, this has affected our ability to do final testing we need for Wastelanders and we must move the release date a week, from April 7 to April 14. We’ve done everything we can to minimize the delay and can’t wait for everyone to play.

We know this is a stressful time, and we can’t thank you enough for all the support you’ve given each other and us. We’re humbled to have such an incredible community that has stuck with us though ups and downs. It means the world to us, especially in times like this.

Stay safe, and thanks again,

Bethesda Game Studios

Waiting just a week isn’t that bad especially when you consider what’s happening around the world. For Fallout 76 players, don’t forget that Bethesda is planning to reveal the new roadmap after that’s out.

Mortal Kombat 11 Aftermath Kollection Leaks on Steam

Another day, another Mortal Kombat 11 leak, this time coming for popular PC gaming platform Steam. In an updated Steam database listing, it appeara that NetherRealm Studios may be working on a new edition for the title, dubbed “Mortal Kombat 11 Aftermath Kollection”

The listing, which was spotted by Reddit user Delorean82, has now since been removed from the Steam database, leaving us with only a captured image from the user. There really isn’t much else known about the Mortal Kombat 11 Aftermath Kollection, though we can probably assume it will be like any other fighter editions that get released later on in the game cycle. This meaning it will most likely contain all the DLC released so far, not just from Kombat Pass 1, but from all the additional skins and character purchases not included in the pass.

It wouldn’t surprise us in the least if that were the case as NetherRealms are pretty known from releasing newer game editions of their fighters. Mortal Kombat 9 and X both saw complete editions, as did both the Injustice games. It would only make sense to see Mortal Kombat 11 get one too, though the name “Aftermath” does seem like an odd one. Guess we’ll just have to wait until the studio makes an official announcement.

This leak just comes a day after the Mortal Kombat 11 Ash Williams DLC leak, so hopefully this means we will see a reveal a lot closer than we think.

SMITE Update 11.36 Released, Here’s What Got Fixed

While Hi-Rez Studios just released the Grim Omens patch for SMITE earlier this week, players should be getting a prompt (or have already gotten one) for a new SMITE patch. Console gamers will see this as SMITE update 11.36, and it’s purely for fixes, and yes, some do affect gameplay.

There are changes here that’s just for consoles (PS4, Xbox One), and some are specific to PC. We’ve lumped them into one list since it’s fairly short one.

SMITE update 11.36 patch notes:

  • [Console] EOML unable to report players
  • Characters that execute themselves that have Thorns deal reflect damage based on 9999
  • Blink Upgrade still has 55 range (intended is 45)
  • Battle Pass not showing ‘NEW’ for most players
  • [PC] The Details pop up in Match History appears highlighted

And given this is a hotfix more than anything, that’s basically it. If you spot any changes not mentioned there, feel free to let us know down in the comments. Same as always, for the latest SMITE updates, make sure to check back MP1st regularly.

Modern Warfare Season 3 New Maps, Weapons & MW2R Pre-Order Bonuses Revealed via Datamined Data

With yesterday’s (today for some) big Call of Duty: Modern Warfare patch, it seems Infinity Ward has once again tucked away data intended for the next season of multiplayer. Thankfully, dataminers are on the case, and managed to unearth a TON of new info regarding the Modern Warfare Season 3 new maps, weapons, modes and more!

Reliable Call of Duty dataminer Senescallo digged around the Modern Warfare update 1.18, and found some of the Modern Warfare Season 3 content! These include two new maps, two new weapons, and there’s even about Modern Warfare 2 Remastered (MW2)!

Modern Warfare Season 3 new maps, weapons, Operators and more:

Maps

Backlot

  • Returning from Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare

  • Location: Set in Meska, Urzikstan

  • Teams: Demon Dogs & Jackals

Village

  • Returning from Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3

  • Location: 14 km outside of Venskaya, Kastovia

  • Teams: SAS & Spetsnaz

Weapons

SKS

  • Class: Sniper

Lightweight semi auto Carbine chambered in 7.62x39mm. This hard hitting and agile Soviet rifle focuses on utility over accuracy. It flaunts a faster fire rate than other weapons in its class, but a carefully placed round will eliminate the need for follow up shots entirely.

It seems Infinity Ward might somehow be tying Modern Warfare with Modern Warfare 2 Remastered based on this info? But we’re just guessing. Same as always, treat everything here with a grain of salt, as these are stuff not officially announced or confirmed by Activision or Infinity Ward. That said, this dataminer has been super spot-on, so we’re giving him the benefit of the doubt.

Excited for what you’ve seen? How do you think Modern Warfare 2 Remastered fits into all this? Let us know down in the comments.

Fortnite Update 2.64 Rolled Out on PS4

While Epic Games released an update for Fortnite earlier this week on all platforms called the Fortnite v12.21 patch, the PS4 version got a new one today, and players will see this as Fortnite update 2.64! This is a small patch at just 300MB.

Unfortunately, Epic Games has continued not publishing their patch notes for every update, but fret not, thanks to the Fortnite Reddit community, we know what’s in Fortnite update 2.64 on PS4!

According to the players, the Fortnite replay mode issue has been fixed on PS4! Mind, this is an issue that plagues other platforms as well. However, this patch doesn’t fix forced crossplay, SBMM (skill based matchmaking), or other issues the game has. We’ll need to wait for another update for that, and dig around to see if it indeed got really fixed.

So far, that’s the only thing we’ve noticed that got fixed, but we’ll update the post if there are more that surfaces, or if there’s any leaks obtained from this patch (highly unlikely given the size). If you spot anything, feel free to leave a comment or send us an email and we’ll credit you with the find.
