  by   Alex Co  
October 10, 2018 3:40 pm in News

Continuing DICE’s massive info blowout regarding Battlefield V, the studio has given DICE Producer Ryan McArthur access to the official DICE Twitter account. One of the things McArthur has shared is what a “base level soldier” looks like in the game, which means this character model hasn’t had any customization items applied, and hence, is the “vanilla” soldier look.

Also of note, Battlefield V Core Gameplay Designer Florian Le Bihan has also shared what the in-game counter looks like on ammo crates. In the same tweet thread, it has been confirmed that ammo crates WILL resupply ammo, gadgets, grenades and everything else, which wasn’t possible in the beta.

Want more info regarding Battlefield V weapons? Check out the full list of weapons available at launch and broken down by class, DICE has also talked about their ambition for gunplay, and even gave a few tips for players to think over.

Battlefield V will be out this November 20 on the PS4, Xbox One, and PC.

Report: Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 Day One Update Has Multiple Files Needed for Download, Here’s Some of the New Stuff

  by   Alex Co  
2:04 pm in News

While we already reported yesterday on the official Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 day one update file size, it seems there’s more to it than meets the eye. Multiple users on Reddit have now obtained early copies of the game, and have said that there’s an initial 17GB download on the PS4 disc version.

User AlexMG95 shares that for him, his initial download is 17.78GB initially.

Got my early copy – First download is 17.784 GB which will take me about 5 hours according to ps4. Any idea what comes after that? from r/Blackops4

Another user, this one goes by the name of Giuliano0307, has posted that he too had to download a 17GB patch, and then the next patch came in clocking in at 50.76GB — both updates are listed as “1.02.” Once the update files have been downloaded, the user couldn’t access even the menu, though he found success after disconnecting, and here’s some of the changes that’s noticeable from the beta build.

  • No new weapons, just the couple already mentioned (2 Snipers / 2 Lmgs / 1 Pistol / Knife)
  • No new streaks, just the three new ones from previous leaks
  • Emblem editor is in
  • Paint shop is in (probably for weapon emblems if you can call them so)
  • Same modes and Maps from previous leaks No new perks altough i didnt know “Sneaker?” – move faster while crouched
  • Blackout is locked
  • Didnt go through Zombie stuff
  • Played a couple of matches, for those mp beta participants – the weapons feel pretty much the same as in the Beta, rampart is not like the br version for example
  • Acustic sensor is pretty much the same, still sixth sense on map and maybe the sound is a bit better of footsteps but i played with dead silence (as always of course hehe)
  • Armor had its own healthbar on bots which i liked a lot
  • if you like weapon sound and wanted to feel like rambo once, the VKM750 Lmg does its job very good, felt amazing in my ears like eargasm
  • The Outlaw sniper looks very cool and its op mod seems a bit overkill, its a one shot sniper from the chest upwards and the op mod will give it a three round burst lol – have to try that soon
  • The SDM sniper is like the DRM just heavier and slower but 2 shot kill, pretty nice
  • Both of the two new sniper have Iron sights as scope
  • there are two new scopes as far as i know – thermal and Threat detector i think its called
  • The GKS smg op mod is 4 round burst
  • The VKM750 Lmg op mod is “FAT BARREL” – fires massive Shells that hit their target easier
  • The Hades Lmg op mod is “Cross Bar” – ADS is replaced with a focused hipfire that has reduced bullet spread and improved movement speeds

Note that this list is NOT final, since there’s a big chance more content, or other tweaks will be implemented once the servers are live.

On the digital version for both Xbox One and PS4, there’s a 12GB file to download. Users OfficialFlorekx and steinkraust have both confirmed the 12GB download which came after the initial 49GB pre-load. Remember: this is for the digital version.

Getting confused? Giuliano0307 explains the entire process (physical disc version on PS4);

Comment from discussion 50GB Patch is live.

Safe to say, Treyarch’s recommendation that gamers have 112GB of free harddisk space is something that’s needed. The wait isn’t long now, and once we know the official patch notes and whatnot for the Black Ops 4 day one update, we’ll be sure to let our readers know.

Stay tuned for MP1st’s in-depth review, and of course, a plethora of tips, features and more leading up to launch and beyond.

PC players head on over here to see the file sizes and when you can pre-load the game client.

Assassin’s Creed Odyssey: Alexios or Kassandra? – The Odyssey Question

  by   MP1st Staff  
12:48 pm in Features

This weekend I had the chance to finally sit down and start my playthrough of Assassin’s Creed Odyssey. I had not watched too much preview gameplay, thinking that I would try to save as much as possible for my own time with it. I knew already that the game would make me choose between its two protagonists: Alexios or Kassandra. I had sort of decided to myself that I would go with Alexios because I had just played Shadow of the Tomb Raider as Lara Croft, and for some reason that made sense to me. Maybe part of me just wanted to play as a male because I am male? I’m not sure.

Then the time actually came. I was prompted to choose one or the other, and I realized that maybe I did not know enough about the characters or the game to make this choice. But, reluctantly, I committed to Alexios and thought the two characters would be mostly the same anyway.

So now the game is really beginning, and I’m introduced to Alexios for the first time. From the first words out of his mouth, I knew I messed up. My first impression was that the voice actor was sub par at best. Maybe it was just the one scene? Maybe I’m the problem.

So I kept playing, and his voice acting, even his appearance, continued to irritate me. Contemplating a restart to switch to Kassandra, I told myself that I need to give this guy a second chance, again.

I played on, and it was not long until I noticed that he runs oddly. Something was just off about it, and I couldn’t pinpoint it. I asked my fiancée who was watching me play, and she agreed. It was one of those uncanny valley situations in which something just looks wrong for reasons unknown.

I thought that maybe it was slightly feminine? Yes, Alexios has an oddly feminine swank to his gait. Then it hit me, I’m not supposed to play this game as Alexios. I stopped playing and did a little research, and as it turns out, Kassandra is the canonical character in the canonical novel.

And in an instant, it all made sense. Did Ubisoft intend to make the game with only Kassandra as the lead, and then back out later and opt to add Alexios? We may never know, but it kind of makes sense. Fans of big franchises are known to be gatekeepers in these situations (I’m looking at you, Star Wars and Battlefield). Studios and publishers have good reasons to be afraid of fan backlash. It can hurt sales tremendously.

With the knowledge that Kassandra is canonical, it makes Ubisoft’s marketing for the game all the more confusing. Alexios stars in the lion’s share of the game’s trailers, and he even has his own Amazon Alexa commercial. There seems to be a divide between the game that the developers wished to make, and the game that Ubisoft’s marketing team wanted to sell.

I can certainly empathize with gamers who prefer to have options regarding the sexes of their characters. I started with Alexios, and I would have stuck with him, had he not felt so wrong. But in the case of Alexios, ostensibly, his presence compromises the artistic intentions of developers.

I restarted the game and chose Kassandra, and everything was right again. I found that her voice acting was in a different league, and her running animations looked correct for her. Even her appearance just seemed so much more likable to me (Wonder Woman, anyone?). Despite sharing the same conversation options and effectively having the same personality, between her appearance and her stellar voice acting, Kassandra emerged, for me at least, as the better character.

Who you choose to play as is entirely up to you, the gamer. That’s why these options exist. But consider yourself warned, Alexios is hard to tolerate. Even I am surprised to hear myself say this, but I cannot recommend Kassandra enough. If you want to save yourself the trouble of replaying the intro, choose her from the start.

What Kind of Gambling Games Will Be Available in Red Dead Redemption 2?

  by   MP1st  
12:00 pm in Features

Source: Red Dead Redemption 2 via Facebook 

Red Dead Redemption 2 is right around the corner, and it promises to be one of the biggest open-world games ever made. Aside from the main storyline, there will be plenty of activities to keep players busy. It has already been revealed that players will be able to go fishing and tend to their horses, but what gambling games will be available?

One of the most popular aspects of 2010’s Red Dead Redemption was the fact that players were able to take a break from the main storyline to play games of poker and partake in other gambling activities. The poker games were realistic, and players could win money to spend on in-game purchases. This meant that there really was something at stake, and it added to the thrill of the game. Because this addition was so well-liked, it is expected that poker will return for the new game. However, because the prequel will attempt to outdo the original on every level, there should be more side-games for gamblers to sink their teeth into.

Red Dead Redemption 2 is set in 1899, which is a few years after the release of the original slot machine – Charles Fey’s Liberty Bell. When the clunky, hand-pulled, reel-spinning game first came out it will have appeared in saloons like the ones players will visit in the Rockstar Games title. If slots are included in the game, players will see just how far they have come to evolve into the offerings of today. Nowadays, the fruit symbols and levers are gone, and the advanced games are usually found online. They are based on films like Gladiator, and have high-tech features. For instance, when players try to win with the gladiator, they spin five reels and have the opportunity to win on 25 paylines.

Another game which could appear in Red Dead Redemption 2 is blackjack. Blackjack has been played for even longer than slot machines, and there is no doubt that the game was around in 1899. However, it may not have been known as blackjack at that time and could have been referred to as twenty-one. Blackjack, like poker, requires the player to have a lot of knowledge of the game in order to succeed. They should know when to hit and when to stand, and be able to calculate their odds of winning. If you want to prevail at the game, it would be a good idea to practice online first. This bonus list shows a number of casinos where blackjack is available, and where players will also be able to get some free money to play with.

As players traverse the detailed and rich landscape of the Wild West in Red Dead Redemption 2, they are sure to encounter many different gambling pursuits to keep them entertained. Poker and blackjack are likely to be included, and it would be really cool to see an old-school slot machine as well.

Here Are the Anthem Javelin Types Players Can Use at Launch, Skills and Abilities Detailed

  by   Alex Co  
11:46 am in News

With Anthem quietly but quickly approaching its February 2019 release date, BioWare has now decided to let gamers know more about each javelin gamers will get to pilot in the final game.

BioWare has detailed the Anthem javelin suits players will be able to pilot at launch! For those not familiar, Anthem will have exosuits called javelins that will have different abilities and skills, which will suit different play styles.

As a side note: as the game is currently in development, BioWare has mentioned that some game or all game features are subject to change.

Ranger Javelin:

All Freelancers train on the Ranger first in Anthem. Not because it’s the easiest, but because it’s the most versatile. In the hands of a master pilot, the Ranger can achieve feats of combat prowess that no other javelin can touch.

The Ranger javelin has a deep bag of tricks to draw from, and there is no combat situation it can’t take on effectively. With access to a wide variety of weapon types, the Ranger is a true wild card that can complement any team and any mission.

Ranger Javelin Exosuit Abilities

Shock Mace: When the Ranger javelin chooses to mix it up at close range, it deploys an electrified mace to send a medically-inadvisable amount of voltage through its enemies.

Grenades: Quick to deploy, grenades lay down area damage for effective crowd control at a moment’s notice. Modified grenades can be found out in the field which can be equipped to create different effects, including Frost and Seeker Grenades.

Muster Point: An effective field commander, the Ranger is capable of creating a Rally Point which provides gear cooldown reduction to teammates who enter its radius.

Multi-target Missile Battery: A powerful volley of micro-missiles, the Ranger’s ultimate ability allows it to target dozens of fast-moving enemies with guided projectiles that pummel the opposition with devastating concussive force.

Storm Javelin:

A Sound of Thunder

The Storm javelin first arrived in Fort Tarsis as a rumor. Developed by the Dominion in their Northern home of Stralheim, the Storm uses a powerful technology known as “seals” to boost the latent kinesis powers of its pilot. The result is a javelin that can float effortlessly above the ground and unleash the raw energy of the Anthem. Only through painstaking Arcanist research has anyone outside the Dominion had a chance to wield the Storm’s awesome potential. And while the Storm can channel unbelievable amounts of elemental force, it has little in the way of defensive capabilities and requires an expert pilot to stay above the fight and dish out damage from a safe distance.

Storm Javelin Exosuit Features

Hover: By manipulating kinetic energy, the Storm is able to maintain a low hover and remain mobile and combat-effective while in mid-air. This allows the pilot to keep distance from their enemies and keep a clear vantage point over the entire battle.

Teleportation: With its incredible command of kinesis abilities, the Storm can maneuver in the air, moving through space instantaneously to arrive at a new position nearby, evading its enemies.

Appetite for Destruction

We’ve all been there. Faced up against a roiling horde of fanged monstrosities, firing off round after useless round into the ocean of carapaced beasts, getting absolutely nowhere, and slowly at that. Well friends, we don’t have to live like that anymore. Meet Anthem’s Colossus, a hulking war machine designed to clear out entire hives of vicious predatory fauna with mounted artillery, heavy arms, or even, yes, a flamethrower. It’s got reinforced armor plating. It’s got jet propulsion. It’s got a cannon. I’m pretty sure it’s even got a cupholder (it doesn’t). If you’re looking to trample through the wilderness in comfort with heavy artillery strapped to your back, the Colossus is for you.

Colossus Javelin Exosuit Abilities

Heavy Smash: The Colossus can use its massive chassis as a weapon both in a diving smash attack from the air and a hammering melee attack. This not only clears out smaller enemies instantly, but has a chance to knock down foes and leave them open to follow-up attacks.

Shield: Providing immense frontal damage mitigation, the Colossus can deploy a shield from its arm in order to close distance on an attacking enemy or charge through environmental hazards as easy as you please. The shield is also deployable while the Colossus is hovering or flying.

High Explosive Mortar: The heavier chassis of the Colossus allows for larger weaponry to be mounted and operated – including a ballistic mortar. An excellent ambush tactic, the mortar rains down punishing amounts of damage and finishes fights just as well as it starts them.

Siege Cannon: The Colossus’ ultimate ability, the Siege Cannon is pure mayhem unleashed on the battlefield. Just aim it at something you want to disappear, pull the trigger, and watch the magic act.

Always Two Steps Ahead

The Interceptor javelin might not have the imposing silhouette of the Colossus, but it still knows how to pack a punch. The Interceptor excels at getting in close to inflict damage and weaken its enemies, then dashing away before they can react. With powerful blades and a full suite of devastating abilities, the Interceptor is both incredibly self-reliant and an excellent supporting squadmate.

Interceptor Javelin Exosuit Features

Interceptor Javelin Exosuit Melee Ability

Every javelin has an innate melee ability which can be used to deal damage to targets at very close range. This ability does not need to be earned, nor can it be changed.

Double-Bladed Daggers: The Interceptor uses a pair of double-bladed daggers to deliver a multi-hit flurry of slashes, dealing damage in a chain of powerful attacks that can be continued indefinitely.

Interceptor Javelin Gear

This list is coming very soon…

Interceptor Javelin Ultimate Ability

More on this soon…

There are a lot more Anthem info out there right now. EA has revealed all the ways players can get to play Anthem early. End game players will be glad to know that Anthem’s versions of raids will have matchmaking, though item trading won’t be available in the game. Finally, don’t forget to check out the latest Anthem gameplay trailer right here.

PSN ID Change Entering PlayStation Preview Program Soon, Roll Out Planned for Early 2019

  by   Alex Co  
10:35 am in News

Remember when a rumor cropped up that developers were readying their games for the PSN ID change option for Sony’s online platform? As it turns out, this rumor is entirely legit.

Announced via the PlayStation Blog, Sony states that this PSN ID change feature will be part of the PlayStation Preview Program, and will become available to select users that have pre-registered as testers for previous PS4 system software betas.

Those who wish to change their PSN IDs can do so for free for the first time they want to change it, but changes after that will cost $9.99. Now, if you’re a PS Plus member, it’ll be way cheaper at just $4.99 after the first change. The PSN ID change feature can be made at the PS4’s “Settings” menu or via the Profile page.

When players change their PSN online IDs, they will have the option to display their previous online IDs in case you want your online friends to know who this “new” person is. This is a one-time feature, so if you choose to have your old PSN ID visible or not, you have to decide beforehand or you won’t be able to reverse it.

Lastly, this feature will be compatible with games originally published after April 1, 2018, and a “large majority” of the “most played” PS4 games that were released before this date. Sony mentions that not all games and apps for the PS4, PS3, and Vita are guaranteed to support this online ID change. Those who experience issues with their PSN ID change in certain games, they will be able to roll back to their previous online ID free of charge at any time.

Sony states that it will reveal a list of compatible games for this PSN ID change feature, so beta tester or not, you’ll know if your fave game is on the list.

The PlayStation Preview Program with this feature is scheduled to conclude this November 2018, with the full roll out of the feature planned sometime in “early 2019.”

About damn time, no? Now xXx_ReaperVsGrim_xXx and all those other edgelord names can finally stop cringing and change their PSN online IDs soon!

Speaking of PSN, don’t forget the two sales going on right now: there’s the “Only on PlayStation” sale, and the “PS VR Celebration” sale which has quite a number of titles at discounted prices.

5:46 am in News

Epic Games has once again rolled out a new Fortnite update 1.84 (v6.02), and same as before, it adds a slew of new content, and gameplay tweaks. Clocking in at 941MB on the PS4 version, this Fortnite update adds Disco Domination, the quad rocket launcher and more.

Break out your best moves and take control of the dance floor in this new Limited Time Mode.

DiscoDomination_GIF.gif

Quad Rocket Launcher (Battle Royale)
Fire rockets in quick succession towards enemies with this new weapon to earn an explosive Victory Royale!

Noble Launcher (Save the World)
Charge this powerful launcher to defeat crowds of enemies with a beam of piercing energy.

GENERAL
PERFORMANCE
We addressed a disk performance issue on Xbox One which was causing buildings and cosmetics to load in slowly. This will also reduce load times.
Please note: This fix will result in a larger patch download than usual (around 10GB).

KNOWN ISSUES
Wanting to track the top community issues? Head over to our Fortnite | Community Issues Trello board here.

BATTLE ROYALE

LIMITED TIME MODE: DISCO DOMINATION

Summary
It’s time for the ultimate dance-off. Dance Floors have spawned around the Battle Royale island. Take them over by clearing out any enemies and then dancing to raise a disco ball up from the floor. The team that fills their meter the fastest by capturing and defending the dance floors will win the match!

Mode Details

  • Two teams of fifty players.
  • Respawning will be turned on until the third (last) storm circle.
  • Five dance floors will appear on the map whenever the storm is not moving.
  • Emoting on a dance floor when no enemies are present will raise a disco ball in the center of the floor, and capture it for your team.
    • The more friendly players dancing on a floor, the faster it will be captured.
  • Once a floor is captured, it will begin filling the team’s “dance bar” on the HUD, until either an enemy stands on it or the current storm timer ends and the storm begins to move. The first team to fill their dance bar to 100% will win the match.
  • The dance floors in the later stages of the match fill the bar more quickly, so don’t give up if your team is behind!
  • It is not possible to build on or over the dance floors, but they can be protected by surrounding them with a fort.
  • Glider redeploy is activated in this mode, press jump while falling to use your glider.
  • This mode uses 50v50 levels of loot and resources.

WEAPONS + ITEMS

  • Quad Launcher
    • Fire up to four lobbed rockets in quick succession.
    • Available in Epic and Legendary variants.
      • 80/84 base damage per rocket.
      • 300 unit explosion radius.
    • Can be found in chests, Supply Drops, and Vending Machines.
  • The Port-a-Fortress has returned and can be looted in-game.
    • Port-a-Fortress availability lowered from 2.43% to 1.83%.
  • Loot drop rate adjustments
    • Decreased common Pistol drop chance from 5.8% to 5.47%
    • Increased Epic Bolt-Action Sniper Rifle drop chance from 0.33% to 0.42%
    • Decreased Rare Semi-Auto Sniper Rifle drop chance from 0.92% to 0.71%
    • Increased Epic Heavy Sniper Rifle drop chance from 0.33% to 0.4%
    • Increased Legendary Heavy Sniper Rifle drop chance from 0.07% to 0.13%
    • Decreased Rare Grenade Launcher drop chance from 1.45% to 0.99%
    • Increased Epic Rocket Launcher drop chance from 0.59% to 0.66%
    • Increased Legendary Rocket Launcher drop chance from 0.08% to 0.21%
    • Increased Epic Guided Missile drop chance from 0.11% to 0.2%
    • Increased Legendary Guided Missile drop chance from 0.03% to 0.05%

​​​​GAMEPLAY

Bug Fixes

  • Removed a change that was inadvertently introduced in v6.01 which caused Bonesy to bark more than was intended.
  • Fixed an issue that caused moving circles to be closer to the previous safezone than intended.

PERFORMANCE

  • Fixed some hitches on Switch caused by blocking loads of UI data.
  • Increased the texture pool size on Xbox One, which should avoid some issues with blurry textures and improve rendering performance.

ART+ANIMATION

  • Skull Trooper styles have a visual issue when viewing the Outfit from the Locker.
    • The Outfit still appears properly in-game.
    • This issue will be fixed next patch.

SAVE THE WORLD

WEAPONS + ITEMS

PS5: Next-Generation PlayStation Hardware Is “Necessary” According to Sony CEO

  by   Alex Co  
9:10 pm in News

Sony has finally spoken out on the next-generation PlayStation hardware, though it didn’t exactly say the term “PS5” or PlayStation 5, as it no doubt will most likely be called.

Talking to the Financial Times, Sony CEO Kenichiro Yoshida states, “At this point, what I can say is it’s necessary to have a next-generation hardware.” Again, there’s no mention of the word PS5, but Sony would be foolish to drop the PlayStation moniker given how strong it is. And of course, there’s no surprise that a successor to the PS4 is coming given how successful the console has been this generation.

Are you ready for the PS5? When do you think will it be released?

In other PlayStation news, Sony is apparently readying PSN ID username changes. If you’re a PS4 gamer, make sure to check out the two PSN sales happening right now! There’s one for Sony exclusives, and another one just for PSVR titles.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 Zombies Easter Eggs to Be Enabled at Launch, Treyarch Cooking Up “Something Extra Special”

  by   Alex Co  
7:50 pm in News

In just a few days, Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 will be unleashed to the masses, and while multiplayer and Blackout might be the ones getting the most attention, a lot of people are also picking up Black Ops 4 for  the Zombies mode that only Treyarch can deliver.

As part of the mode’s 10th year anniversary, Treyarch has something special in mind when it comes to Black Ops 4 Zombies Easter eggs. Posting a message on Reddit, Treyarch states, “Black Ops 4 Zombies Easter Eggs will be enabled worldwide in Voyage of Despair, IX, Blood of the Dead, and Classified at 10AM Pacific Time on Friday, October 12.”

Not only that, but the studio also mentions that it’s “cooking up something extra special” just for Zombies players. Could all this be connected to the hidden messages found in some of the Black Ops 4 trailers floating about?

Make sure to check the pre-load times and file sizes for both consoles and PC. For more on Black Ops 4 Zombies, check out this leaked gameplay footage, and also this info post from a reliable leaker.

Fallout 76 Microtransactions Detailed, Currency to Be Called “Atoms”

  by   Alex Co  
7:18 pm in News

In a not-so-surprising move, Fallout 76 microtransactions are going to be part of the game when it launches. Fortunately, Bethesda has refrained from allowing players to purchase Perk Cards and other game-altering stuff with it. Instead, Fallout 76 microtransactions will purely be about cosmetics.

The currency for microtransactions in Fallout 76 will be called “Atoms,” and can be used to obtain new character outfits and skins. Players will be able to earn Atoms by completing tasks, or buying the currency with real-world money, though no specific pricing has been revealed just yet.

Bethesda exec Pete Hines reassures fans that the game will be generous with the in-game currency, and even stating that Fallout 76 will “throw them at you all the time.”

Atoms are thing that we use and hand out as you play the game–quite honestly we throw them at you all the time. “You get them as little rewards leaving the Vault or the first time you kill a creature or the first time you pick fruits or vegetables from somewhere. It’s a little challenge reward. Atoms are used in our shop to buy cosmetics things. So you know, new outfits or skins or things like that. [Things to customise] your character to look unique from everybody else.

At least it’ll only be cosmetics only, right? With a shared world online multiplayer game like Fallout 76, anything that might affect the actual gameplay or balance should’t be part of microtransactions at all, and I’m glad Bethesda isn’t going that route.

In other Fallout 76 news, go watch hours of gameplay footage right now. Bethesda has also confirmed that mods and private servers will come to the game sometime after launch.

Borderlands 2 VR Announced With a New Trailer, Coming This December

  by   Alex Co  
6:11 pm in News

2K Games announced something Borderlands related today, though its not the highly anticipated, Borderlands 3. In a press release, 2K announced Borderlands 2 VR for the PlayStation VR. Launching this December 14, 2018 for $49.99, check out the announcement trailer!

The iconic shooter-looter gets in your face! Virtually immerse yourself in the untamed world of Borderlands. Step into the boots of a treasure-seeking Vault Hunter armed with 87 bazillion guns on a quest to stuff your pockets with loot. Blast bandits with real-world aiming, punch psychos in the face, race across Pandora in stolen bandit vehicles and free Pandora from Handsome Jack’s clutches!

Key features for Borderlands 2 VR on PS VR include:

  • Virtually Step onto Pandora: Step into the boots of a treasure-seeking Vault Hunter armed with 87 bazillion possible guns on a quest to line your pockets with loot and free Pandora from Handsome Jack’s clutches. Blast bandits with real-world aiming, punch bullymongs in the mouth, find the perfect gun inside a life-sized treasure chest and inspect it from every angle. Catch-a-Ride and race across Pandora in first-person view and experience the thrill of a psycho running toward you with grenade in-hand yelling, “Boom time!”

 

  • Virtually Slow Time: Borderlands 2 VR includes new features unique to the VR experience to empower Vault Hunters in their fight against Handsome Jack. With Bad Ass Mega Fun Time (aka BAMF Time), players can use this new slow-mo ability to literally slow the speed of the game temporarily to set up their next attack. In addition, with the option to Teleport, players can glide across Pandora as gracefully as Claptrap (if he had grace).

 

  • Become a Virtual Vault Hunter: Take on the role of one of four playable classes – Siren, Commando, Gunzerker and Assassin – each with unique combat styles and updated skills that leverage the new VR functionality, including the new BAMF Time ability. Whether crushing enemies with Maya’s Siren powers, calling in Sabre Turret reinforcements as Axton, feeling the heft of dual-wielded machine guns as Salvador, or the satisfying swing of Zer0’s sword in an enemy’s back, Borderlands 2 VR immerses players like never before.

 

  • Experience Virtual Improvements: For the first time ever, players can experience the sublime exhilaration of driving around the Borderlands in first-person perspective – accelerating and steering with the joystick and aiming the vehicle’s weapons with their headset. With the use of the motion controllers and headset, players can interact with the menu systems in a new and intuitive way for the platform, easily navigating through the menus by pointing, clicking, dragging and dropping. Players will also have the choice of preferred movement styles. Whether that’s the VR popular pointed-teleportation, or the classic direct movement style with joysticks – your experience should feel good for VR and true to form of classic Borderlands.

 

  • Get Virtually Rich: Borderlands VR brings shoot-and-loot mechanics to VR with bazillions of procedurally-generated guns and gear, each with their own capabilities and modifiers. Procedurally-generated shields, grenades, relics, class mods and more round out your Vault Hunter’s arsenal for maximum power and mayhem.

Those who pre-order can also expect a PlayStation 4 dynamic theme featuring Borderlands 2’s Vault Hunters.

Is this a precursor for an impending Borderlands 3 announcement? Let’s hope so.

If you’re still playing Battlefield 1 (like I am), then you’ve no doubt partaken in DICE’s crossover event for BF1 and the upcoming Battlefield V. Called the “Road to Battlefield V,” it’s an in-gam community-wide challenge that has you doing specific tasks in the game to unlock camos, and other goodies in Battlefield V.

Well, this week’s Road to Battlefield V event is now live on all platforms! We’re not at the fifth stage of the event, and for this week, we’re even getting new soldier sets! Check out the complete set of rewards below.

Given Battlefield V is set to release in just a few weeks, it’s highly likely that these events will cease once BFV is actually out. Curious about Battlefield V? Check out our hub page for the game where a  ton of news posts and videos are posted.

Go read up on our beta impressions piece, and if you’re curious check out the list of available weapons at launch too.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 File Size to Be at 50GB, Pre-Load Info & More Revealed

  by   Alex Co  
8:07 am in News

With Call of Duty: Black Ops 4’s release day just a few days away, more info regarding the launch are making its way online. Remember when we reported that early copies won’t work due to the game needing a Black Ops 4 day one update? Activision just confirmed it but there’s also some good news!

According to the Activision support website, the Black Ops 4 file size will be at 50GB on both PS4 and Xbox One! If you find that size a bit too big, there’s a little bit of good news though, according to Activision, players can play Blackout in full with just 30 percent installed (about 16-20GB), though you’ll need to download and install a day one update completely in order to play Multiplayer, Zombies or Specialist Headquarters.

Furthermore, players should have 112GB of free disk space, though this isn’t the size of the download but rather, the amount of space required to complete the installation process. The final “installation footprint” will be around 55GB.

Note that these figures are if you install Black Ops 4 via a physical disc, and those who purchase the game digitally will need to download 55GB of harddrive space.

Courtesy of Treyarch’s Reddit post, for those who want to start their Black Ops 4 experience ASAP the moment servers are live, Black Ops 4 pre-load begins on consoles (PS4, Xbox One) at 12 a.m. on October 10! PC players can pre-load earlier at 9 p.m. PT on Tuesday, October 9.

Treyarch will launch a beta post-mortem video that gives an in-depth explanation to some of the changes made to Multiplayer, and Blackout as a result of beta feedback. Once it’s live, we’ll be sure to let our readers know. Lastly, same as in years past, launch streams will be kicked off by the studio. Again, once we know more, we’ll let our readers know.

Don’t forget to check out the complete list of Black Ops 4 multiplayer maps! We also posted a few early images of the Black Ops 4 Calling Cards and camos too.

For all things Black Ops 4, make sure to keep it locked here on MP1t and on our Black Ops 4 hub page!
