NBA 2K18 Update 1.10 Dribbles Out

NBA 2K18 update 1.10 dribbles out of bounds!

Visual Concepts has just released NBA 2K18 update 1.10, and while it’s a hefty 5.7GB download on the PlayStation 4, we currently don’t know the exact stuff that got added, tweaked or changed.

Unfortunately, 2K Games is continuing its “roll out a patch, and don’t give an update until hours or days after” approach. We’ll be checking every possible source available to see what’s new in NBA 2K18 update 1.10, but for now, you’ll have to do it the old fashioned way — by playing it and finding out for yourself.

The last NBA 2K18 update added the Combine, so there’s a chance this could be fixes to the bugs introduced there. What we do know is that this patch introduces the new All-Star game uniforms that Team LeBron and Team Steph will be wearing later this month.

If you see any new changes, please let us know down in the comments. We’ll be updating this post the moment 2K releases the official patch notes.

Injustice 2 TMNT Trailer Brings the Ninja Turtle Action to DC

Injustice 2 TMNT in the house!

Cowabunga! In a press release, Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment unveiled the first-ever Injustice 2 TMNT trailer that showcases the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and their moves!

Get to play as Leonardo, Donatello, Raphael, and Michaelangelo, all with character-specific moves, all by gear customization! Equipping each of the characters’ trademark weapon ((swords, bo staff, sais, nunchakus), players will be able to change their character loadout to play as one of the turtles. For those wondering how this’ll work in online and tournament play where loadouts aren’t available, each Turtle will be available via the character select screen.

Deep below the surface, in the sewers of New York City, four turtle brothers were mutated by radioactive ooze and began training in the art of ninjutsu. While in a fight with the fearsome Krang—our heroes in a half-shell were jettisoned on a one way trip across the Multiverse.

Set to arrive in the game this February 13 for those who purchased the Injustice 2 Ultimate Edition, Injustice 2 Ultimate Pack, or Fighter Pack #3, those who are getting it piecemeal can do so on February 20.

Heroes in a Half Shell are coming to Injustice 2! Prepare the early ’90s lingo!

DICE Explains the Fight Against Battlefield 1 Cheats and Exploits

Developer DICE has provided an insight into how it handles players who use Battlefield 1 cheats and exploits. A detailed (but not too detailed) blog post explains the various Battlefield 1 anti cheat systems that are in place, and what measures are being taken to help keep the fight fair.

Here’s a rundown of what DICE deems safe to share:

State of Play: Removing Cheaters

Over the past six months, we’ve steadily ramped up our anti-cheat efforts, working closely with the FairFight team to detect and remove more cheaters than ever before. In October alone, we sanctioned over 8,500 accounts. Since then, instances of cheating have declined. While we have made significant gains, we still can do more.

Improvements to FairFight In-game Messaging

Battlefield 1 veterans may remember the global messaging that was sent every time FairFight had acted against a player. As we ramped up our efforts against cheaters, these messages became a distraction from other in-game discussions, and they were disabled a few months ago based on your feedback. However, our communication about this created some questions. Going forward, our communication will be more clear, transparent, and proactive.

Soon, you’ll see a new form of FairFight messaging. This will condense the combined bans from the last 24 hours into a single in-game post, sent every few hours.

How and When a Player Gets Sanctioned

We saw a rise in the number of social media posts claiming FairFight had banned players incorrectly after the October ban wave mentioned above. However, we are confident that our detection methods produce accurate results. Cheat developers may be attempting to manipulate players’ minds about anti-cheat tools, and to leverage detection information from game developers.

A common misconception regarding FairFight is that higher skilled players are more likely to get sanctioned due to their improved match stats. This is not correct; it is not possible to be banned simply for being skilled.

An important note: unfortunately, we cannot respond to your account questions on social media or the forums. If you believe that your account has been sanctioned by mistake, the best thing you can do is to contact our disputes team: https://help.ea.com/help/account/information-about-banned-or-suspended-accounts.

Protect Your Account – and Help Everyone Out

Be aware that you are responsible for the activity that takes place on your EA Account. Spending a few minutes to ensure your account is secured can avoid possible heartbreak! Learn how to protect your account with a strong password and login verification here: https://help.ea.com/help/account/how-to-maintain-account-security.

It’s good to see developers explaining the process behind monitoring and blocking cheaters. I think this kind of transparency and communication is key to building a trusting community.

In other Battlefield 1 news, you can read up on the latest set of patch notes here, YouTuber LevelCap shared his thoughts on EA manipulating the media, and all Operations are now accessible to all players with no Premium Pass requirement.

Battlefront 2 Clone Wars DLC Teases Continue, Updates to Be More Regular & Other New Info

There have been more rumblings about an upcoming Star Wars Battlefront 2 Clone Wars DLC. DICE developers have been teasing aspects of the Clone Wars era, with fans pushing for Obi-Wan and other CW-era heroes. We’ve also seen a number of tweets providing updates on patches and what is currently being focused on. You can find a smattering of those, collected from Twitter and the game’s official forums, below:

HypergamerMk2 wrote:

  • I think I speak for everyone when I say:
  • are we getting conquest
  • any news on more customization (personally I would love it if you would make it more that just having a skin. Jaig eyes, for example)
  • any clone wars content?
  • But I only speak for me when I say #CaptRexInBFII

FireWall:

  • We’re obviously hearing the requests about a more open, free-flowing large mode like Conquest. Not sure if porting a mode over is the right way to go, but we’re definitely working on satisfying that request.
  • Yes
  • Yes

The Surge 2 Announced for Consoles & PC, Launching 2019

Focus Home Interactive has announced that The Surge 2 will be coming to PC and consoles in 2019. It will be powered using a new “upgraded and improved engine,” and take place in a “sprawling, devastated city with larger and more ambitious level design.”

It isn’t clear if The Surge 2 multiplayer will be a thing, but I can definitely see the potential for an awesome co-op experience.

In addition to the announcement and target release window, we’ve also been provided with a nice chunk of information about the upcoming game. Read it all below.

We’re excited to announce the development of The Surge 2!

After the success of The Surge, our hardcore Action RPG released in May 2017 on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC, we are happy to announce the renewal of the partnership between Deck13 and Focus Home Interactive and the development of The Surge 2, with a release date planned for 2019 on consoles and PC.

The Surge 2 keeps what fans and critics loved about the original – hardcore combat utilizing a unique, dynamic limb targeting system and deep character progression – while also expanding greatly upon the formula.

The Surge 2 takes place in a brand new environment: a sprawling, devastated city with larger and more ambitious level design, made possible by Deck13’s upgraded and improved engine.

Combat is more brutal and tactical than ever, with even more options thanks to an expanded limb targeting system. In addition, more abilities, weapons, implants, and drones give players a vast arsenal to build their character with, in their fight against the array of diverse new enemies and bosses.

More information about The Surge 2 will be unveiled at Le What’s Next de Focus – February 7-8, the yearly press event organized by the French publisher in Paris. Deck13 will talk more about their new title to the international press, so stay tuned.

The Surge 2 will release on consoles and PC in 2019.

Are you excited for The Surge 2? Want to see some form of The Surge 2 multiplayer? Let us know in the comments below.

PUBG Xbox One Update Patch Notes 8: Increased Vehicle Damage & Bug Fixes

A new set of PUBG Xbox One update patch notes have been released for the new update. The main focus of this PUBG Xbox update is to tweak vehicle damage, while also fixing a few bugs.

Here are all of the details you need:

PUBG Xbox One Update Patch Notes 8: Gameplay Changes

  • We received a lot of great feedback following the changes made to vehicle/player damage. We continue to tune and balance this element of gameplay, and are therefore reverting back to increased damage if a player is struck by a vehicle.

PUBG Xbox One Update Patch Notes 8: Bug Fixes

  • Resolved an issue preventing players from vaulting over specific ledges and/or windows
  • The camera will now remain in the correct location following player death
  • Vehicles will no longer relocate to another position on the map after the player disembarks

It looks like the developer is trying to find the sweet spot for vehicle damage. This is being handled separately to the PC version, with vehicles clearly being a bigger issue on the console platform.

Do you think vehicles should be stronger? Or should they be mostly used for transportation, and less as a weapon/cover? Let us know!

In other PUBG news, Reshade has been totally blocked despite the anti-cheat patch delay, over 1 million cheaters were banned in January 2018 alone, and a new PUBG Invitational has been announced.

Report: Obsidian Entertainment New Game Most Likely Titled “The Outer Worlds”

If you’re an RPG fan, chances are you’ve heard of Obsidian Entertainment since the studio has been around developing such notable titles like Fallout: New Vegas, Pillars of Eternity, and South Park: The Stick of Truth.

While the studio has Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire set for release later this April, it seems we now know a few details regarding the studio’s next game! Thanks to intrepid forum member UrbanNebula, news about the Obsidian Entertainment new game project has surfaced, and it seems to be titled “The Outer Worlds” if recent trademark filings are to be believed.

Obsidian has trademarked the name The Outer Worlds for use in games, books, even tabletop card games.

Entertainment services, namely, providing online games, providing a website featuring computer games and video games, and news, information, tips, hints, contests, computer interface themes, enhancements, audio-visual content, music, films, videos, television programs, animated series, and other multimedia materials in the field of computer games and video games; providing information, news and commentary in the field of computer games and video games; game services provided on-line from a computer network

The closet thing UrbanNebula managed to find was this book on Amazon about aliens invading the galaxy and all that, which is most likely not connected to Obsidian’s filing, but don’t be surprised if it is.

Once we hear more about this, we’ll be sure to let people know. In the meantime, gives us your thoughts on what Obsidian’s next game should be, and what do you think of the title so far?

The Division 1.18 Patch Fixes Issues and Exploits

In case you’re one of the many people going back to Ubisoft’s shared world third-person shooter The Division, you’ll be glad to know that there’s a game update rolled out today by the developers, and it’s to fix a few nagging in-game issues.

The Division 1.18 update fixes an exploit, and a few issues. Check out the patch notes straight from the PlayStation 4 version of The Division’s update history.

In case you can’t see the image, it reads:

Version 1.18

Update 1.8.1

Game changes

– Fixed an exploit where players could reach infinite RPM by swapping weapon magazines and loadouts

– Fixed an issue where mods would unequip from weapons or gear and could no longer be retrieved from the stash if the player switched loadouts in certain conditions

– Fixed an issue were gear optimizations were reset between game sessions

In other The Division news, Ubisoft has hinted at the sequel, which would surprise no one if it’s announced.

Bluepoint Games Is “Remaking a Classic” Once Again, Hiring Senior Graphics Engineer

Bluepoint Games is looking for a senior graphics engineer to help remake “a classic for current-gen game systems.” The new hire will be joining the team to develop “AAA titles for [the] latest-gen home consoles.” It’s not clear what game is being worked on, but the job listing offers some hints.

Here’s what the job consists of, and what experience is required:

RESPONSIBILITIES

  • High- and low-level optimization of rendering code for console platforms
  • Development and maintenance of content generation and content optimization pipelines
  • Research into new real-time rendering techniques and features
  • Collaboration with other team members to determine rendering requirements
  • Implementation of rendering features to the Bluepoint Engine

  • Ability to manage oneself
  • Must have shipped at least one well-reviewed title on PS3 and/or Xbox 360 as a graphics engineer
  • A true desire to satisfy the needs of others in a fast-paced environment

In recent years, Bluepoint Games has been focusing exclusively on PS4 remakes. Does that mean we’ll see another PlayStation classic remade? Or will they be shifting gears?

PUBG Reshade Is Now Permanently Blocked, However Upcoming Anti-Cheat Patch Is Delayed

It’s a sad, sad day for PUBG Reshade users, as the program has now been officially blocked. This comes as part of the new anti-cheat measures, and is the first step to blocking cheating and “helping” programs which give players an unfair advantage.

The PUBG Reshade block was supposed to be accompanied by a large anti-cheat patch, but that update has now been delayed.

The permanent block of PUBG Reshade and the delayed anti-cheat update were announced by @PUBG_help on Twitter, and also on the game’s official forums:

“PC players,

As announced, the new anti-cheat solution that was to be applied today has been delayed.

However, BattlEye, a part of our anti-cheat solution, has blocked ReShade. For you to run the game, you must uninstall ReShade. If the game files are already damaged, you must also reinstall the game.

ReShade not only behaves like a cheat program but can also be used for cheating, and must therefore be blocked. Please be advised that this is a permanent block.

Thank you.”

There goes PUBG Reshade! Now the game will be much less vibrant, and much more blurry, for many players.

Let us know what you think of the PUBG Reshade block? Sad to see it go? Or necessary, do you think?

In other PUBG news, the game made over $700 million in 2017, a new simulator will help make you a sniper master, and the Xbox patch hits vehicles hard with nerfs.

Warframe Update 1.33 Is Live, Here Are the Patch Notes

Warframe update today brings in new skins, and lots of tweaks!

Digital Extrremes has released a new Warframe update out on consoles, and it’s live! Warframe update 1.33 clocks in at 1.43GB, and brings with it, a lot of new weapon skins, tweaks and more.

For those wondering, this update is also called Plains of Eidolon update 22.10.1, so don’t be confused by the numbering

 

Before we dive into the new weapon skins and whatnot, first, the changes to the base game.

General Additions:

  • The Day 800 Tribute Milestone is here! For those Tenno who have been with Warframe since the beginning of its release on consoles, you may be fast approaching the Day 800 Login Reward! Upon reaching Day 800, dedicated Tenno will receive the Lodestar Syandana!

  • The War Within Choice Scene has been added to Captura! Completing The War Within for the first time will reward this in your Inbox. For those that have already completed The War Within quest, it has been retroactively added to your Captura Scene selection right on login.
  • Added “Replay Quest” option for the following Quests in your Codex:
    • Apostasy Prologue
    • A Man of Few Words
    • Stolen Dreams
  • Melee weapons will now display a ‘Block Damage’ reduction stat in the Arsenal! This stat varies mostly between weapon categories, and while there are only select Mods that enhance the effects of blocking, the stat is still valuable to expose the mechanic. If you favor a melee playstyle, we hope you find this information valuable!
  •  Added a bit more variety to the dynamic weather in the Plains: Wind will become stronger if it is pouring. Currently, rain and wind are independent of each other and cycle in a predictable pattern that we want to avoid.
  •  Added a reusable Blueprint for converting Intact Sentient Cores to Exceptional Sentient Cores. This Blueprint is available from Onkko in Cetus. This is an addition to help provide an alternative, but still invested, way for players to progress in the Quills.
  •  Added back long lost functionality of showing ‘Inspect Player’ help text when looking at other Players in Relays/Cetus.
  •  The Teralyst has a new purple shield bar that will appear overtop its health bar until depleted. This is to give players a better indication of how much shields it has left.
  •  We now present players with the option to buy a Forma Bundle when using the Upgrade screen to install Forma.
  •  Added filters to the Fish inventory screen at Fisher Hai-Luk’s shop (Small, Medium, Large).
  •  Added distinct icons for Elevator controls going up or down and increased the speed of some Elevators.
  •  You can now decide to only allow friend invites from certain groups (All, Friends of Friends, etc).
  •  You can now see how many of a given Mod you own if you click it through Chat Linking!
  •  Added Time of Day text to the Free Roam node for the Plains of Eidolon!
  •  Added separate category for Sentient and Eidolon kills in Profile stats.
  •  Added each type of fish from the Plains in the Codex.
  •  Added a small delay when transitioning to jog from run after firing a weapon so you have time to play your fire animation. Before depending on the weapons refire wait time, you wouldn’t have enough time to raise your arms so bullets sort of just shot out of your body.
  •  Added ‘Defend’ icons to Eidolon Lures in the Plains. This icon will change to blue (0, 219, 255 to be exact) when the Lure is fully charged.
  •  Added options to Flip Horizontal and Vertical for artwork within the Display customization window.
  •  Added 4 new Grineer Asteroid Capture/loot rooms, and a new Capture objective room.
  •  Added a Settings options for enabling/disabling hit sounds. This will be a toggle that disables the function entirely (instead of just muting the mixer) to save performance when disabled.
  •  Added a Kuva count label under the ‘confirm’ button when attempting to reroll a Riven to inform you of how much Kuva you currently have.

Changes:

  • Bounties are now Mastery Rank tiered! In the current system, a player of any Mastery Rank could queue up and join any Bounty, even the highest level ones! In order to avoid a mismatch in experience, we’ve simply set each Bounty to have a default Mastery Rank. It looks a little something like this:

  • You can now properly waypoint dropped weapon parts/Blueprints.
  • More than doubled the size of the Cetus Wisp pickup radius. This will allow you to obtain the Cetus Wisp from further away instead of needing to be right on top of it.
  • Reduced Vay Hek’s zap Magnetic Status to not drain Energy completely.
  • Items claimed while in the foundry’s “In Progress” tab will now stay in the tab until the tab is changed so you can choose to build it again right after.
  • Warframe Specters are now much smarter! If you don’t recall, Specters are craftable gear you can equip to summon an AI companion in battle. We’ve done a general intelligence pass on their proficiency with Weapons, and we’ve also updated their power-casting logic. Virtually every power is now castable with only a few exceptions! Specters CANNOTcast the following Abilities: Vauban’s Minelayer, Ivara’s Zipline, Titania’s Razorwing, Nekros’ Desecrate and Shadows of the Dead, Excalibur’s Exalted Blade, Valkyr’s Hysteria, Wukong’s Primal Fury, Cloud Walker, and Defy, Atlas’ Petrify and Tectonics, Limbo’s entire kit (save for the damage aspect of Banish), and finally Zephyr’s Dive Bomb.
  • Zaw strike Plague Kripath now uses the default Rapier holster position when used with a one-handed Zaw Grip.
  • The Plague Kripath now uses Rapier melee style instead of Sword melee style.
  • Itzal Penumbra now turns off sprint toggle so you don’t immediately cancel out of the cloak when using it.
  • Plains of Eidolon Sorties are now a string of 3 encounters that must be completed in order to finish the mission.
  • Made improvements towards the dynamic sky in the Plains to reduce sun lens flare popping.
  • Increased the drop chance of Intact Sentient Cores from Vomvalysts to 100%.
  • Improvements towards enemy navigation throughout the Corpus Ice Planet Defense tileset.
  • Replaced the Jupiter-Saturn Junction requirement of ‘defeat the Raptor on Europa’ with ‘complete Baal on Europa’. This is due to the Raptor’s boss fight getting increasingly difficult after his re-work, which created frustration for newer players attempting to unlock the Junction.
  • Tweaked wording/order in the Landing Craft menu:
    •  Renamed ‘PLACE DECORATIONS’ to ‘DECORATE’
    •  Renamed ‘CUSTOMIZE INTERIOR’ to ‘INTERIOR COLORS’
    •  Flipped the order of those two options
  • Tweaked the brightness/visibility of Frost’s Snow Globe in the Plains at night.
  • When browsing Warframes/weapons to equip, you will now see the equipped Skin displayed on the Warframe/weapon icon instead of the default icon.
  • Optimized away about 250KB of code spread throughout the whole game (over 1% savings!)
  • Optimized memory related to the Star Chart.
  • Increased Stubba’s ammo pool from 285 to 399.
  • Removed the Mastery Rank 2 requirement from the MK1-Furis.
  • Sarpa and Redeemer trace distance reduced to 300m to match the rest of the non-sniper weapons.
  • Headshots from the Arca Plasmor will no longer give a headshot multiplier. The Arca Plasmor was designed to hit multiple targets with a high-status chance, but with wide wave projectiles and inherent punch-through, a single shot could result in multiple headshots. With it being a shotgun, it was never intended to behave as a precision weapon, and the bonus pushed it too far out of that mold.
  • Updated description of Kwath (Grip) to properly inform of its stats:
    •  “Light weight” now reads “Heavy weight”
    •  “increase in speed” now reads “increase in damage”
    •  “cost of damage” now reads “cost of speed”.
  • Updated the description on Zaw balances to say “link” instead of “counterweight”.
  • Updated all mentions of “anti-matter” to read “antimatter”.
  • Update description of Nova’s Null Star to reflect the damage reduction it gives per particle:
  • Each active particle gives +5% damage reduction to Nova’s Health, stacking up to 90%.
  • Equinox’s Night-Form ‘Mend’ now regenerates Shields of Allies as enemies are killed within range.
  • Replace a vaulted Relic (Meso V2) with a current Relic (Meso H1) in the Daily Tribute rewards.
  • Spearfishing spears can now kill Condrocs and Kuakas if you wish to do that.
  • Removed the equip sound from the Fishing Spear.
  • Updated the Design Council tips that appear in the loading screen and removed some that don’t apply anymore.
  • When the Acolytes are live, players will only see them in the World State panel once they’ve completed Vor’s Prize.
  •  Sabotage missions on Settlement, Shipyards, and Gas City tilesets now have 2 stages.
  • Eidolon Lures now follow both Warframe or Operator rather than just the Warframe. The Lure will also now teleport to the player it’s following if/when it gets too far away/stuck.
  • Security cameras now trigger more intelligently, the Corpus have upgraded their software.
  • Improved the UI on Defection missions by having instruction text, aligning objectives, and better colour coding for defector icons.
  • Increased duration of Duality Augment to be 10 seconds at Max Rank (affected by Duration Mods).
  • Second Dream now has two vaults instead of three during the first Spy mission.
  • Disabled Stalker, Arc traps, and random transmissions during some quest missions.
  • Updated some doors which still had red non-interactive locked materials to new off versions.
  • Instead of redundantly showing both Fire Rate and Charge Rate on bows, they now hide Fire Rate unless comparing to a non-bow weapon.
  •  Changed the background on selected Tenno customizations to be the same white as when selecting customizations from the Arsenal.
  •  Improved Sprint/Toggle Sprint so that sprinting stops less often.
  •  Standing in place with sprint key down no longer causes the sprint posture (for the purposes of Prowl and such).
  •  When a player tries to sell their last Sentinel, a more informative message will appear to explain why it cannot be sold.
  •  Somachord now continues playing where you left off when you return to your Orbiter.
  •  Somachord Tones now have their own marker icon when waypointing/finding one in a mission.
  •  Removed the “kill unalerted enemies” or “hack 1 terminal” Challenges from The Law of Retribution and The Jordas Verdict.
  •  Increased the Health of the Loki Specter in the Neptune Junction on Uranus.
  •  Changed the ‘disable sniper scopes’ HUD option to be ‘use sniper scopes’ instead to fit with the positive style of other option wordings.
  •  Increased follow radius of Drone in the Drone Hijack Incursion from 30m to 50m.
  •  Lowered health of Grineer Auto Turrets from 1250 to 1100.
  •  Lowered health from 650 to 550 and armor from 100 to 75 of the big Dropship Turret.
  •  Nox enemies will now react when being damaged by a Stealth attack. Before they would remain not alerted after taking some stealthy damage.
  •  Operators will now automatically go back into Void Mode after a Void Blast if crouch is still being held (and they have enough Energy).
  •  Replaced old damaged Liset ship in Vor’s Prize cinematic with new damaged version.

Vay Hek Changes:

  •  You can now damage Vay Hek up to 25% of his total Health (was 10% previously) while his Propaganda Drone is active before it shuts off. This will result in less waiting around, and will make Vay Hek in Terra Frame easier to deal with.
  •  Reduced base Armor of Vay Hek in his Terra Frame from 225 to 200.

Ghoul Bounty Changes:

The Ghouls have burrowed back deep into the ground with the coming of this update. Konzu no longer seeks your aid (for now) as the Ghoul Bounties have been removed from his board. However, the Ghouls can and will reappear, and when they do, the following changes will be active on their next visit:

  •  Ghoul Lore Fragments are simply way more likely to drop within Bounties now.
  •  Ghoul enemies themselves can now also drop the Lore Fragments (and Ghouls always have a chance to appear outside of Ghoul Bounties!).
  •  Ghoul Bounty tables have received new items including Nitain, Cetus Wisps, and Breath of the Eidolon!

Market Changes:

The following Market changes have been made to be more user-friendly and easier to browse:

  •  The top left HOME tab has been renamed to CATEGORIES
  •  The Drop Down Icon has changed to an Arrow
  •  Renamed the first category in the drop-down menu (currently called HOME) to FEATURED
  •  Updated Icons for CATEGORIES and FEATURED
  •  The TennoGen tab in the Market now has individual categories to better organize and sort the amazing growing collection of TennoGen items.
  •  Warframes and Weapons that you have fully ranked up will now display a ‘Mastered’ label in the items panel when viewing them in the Market diorama.

Quartakk Changes:

  •  Converted the Quartakk to a burst fire that fires all 4 rounds at the same time instead of a semi-auto that fires 4 bullets per shot.
  •  Increased fire rate from 6.32 to 12.67.
  •  Increased Accuracy from 58.8 to 90.9.
  •  Reduced damage from 51 to 27.

Objective Text Changes:

  •  Changed Vault timer UI text in Spy missions to flash red instead of grey and added /!\ warning icon like in Interception missions.
  •  Tweaked Plains Bounty objective text to make hierarchy and relatedness clearer by enlarging, bolding, and aligning with other objective text on the screen.

Boss Reward Location Changes:

In an effort to balance the acquisition of Warframes, we’ve shifted some boss drop locations.

  •  Excalibur from Pluto to Mars – meaning Lieutenant Lech Kril now possess Excalibur parts
  •  Frost from Mars to Ceres – meaning Lieutenant Lech Kril/Captain Vor now possess Frost parts
  •  Trinity from Ceres to Pluto – meaning Ambulas now possess Trinity parts

Here’s Every New PS4 5.50 Update Feature Explained

Following several leaked PS4 5.50 screenshots, Sony has now lifted the lid off the entire thing, revealing every improvement coming in the new system update.

Read on for the full list of changes, which are currently being experienced by closed trial testers, and will soon be made available to all PS4 owners.

PS4 5.50 Update: Play Time Management

We’re introducing Play Time Management, which will allow family managers (and adult family members who are set as guardians) to manage PS4 playtime for child family members on family on PSN. Managing Playtime is easy; go to Settings > Family Management on your PS4, or log into your PlayStation account on your web browser from your PC or smartphone, to check and manage your child’s playtime each day. If needed, the family manager/guardians can apply playtime restrictions to make sure that the child is only playing for a set amount of time or within set playable hours. Notifications on PS4 will be sent to the child during gameplay so that he or she knows when they should save and quit. The family managers/guardians also have the option to add extra game time via their smartphone or PC. In addition, the family manager/guardians can choose whether or not to automatically log the child out of their PS4 once their playtime is over.

PS4 5.50 Update: ‘This PS4’ and Name/Avatar tab

Two new tabs are being added to Library to make it easier for you to see which apps you’ve installed and purchased. The ‘This PS4’ tab lists all the applications that are installed on the PS4 system, and the tab with your name/avatar lists all the apps that you purchased with your PSN ID. This feature also makes it easy to search and find games you’ve already purchased but have not yet installed.

PS4 5.50 Update: PS Plus tab

This update also adds a new PS Plus tab to the Library, which clarifies what games you own from PS Plus’ Monthly Free Games. If your PS Plus membership is expired, a PS Plus icon with a lock will appear next to your game so you’ll know you cannot play the game until you’ve re-subscribed.

PS4 5.50 Update: Hide apps

We’re adding a function that will allow you to hide certain applications under the ‘Purchased’ tab in the Library. In ‘Options,’ you can hide content including betas, trials or demos of games that you probably won’t be going back to.

PS4 5.50 Update: Quick Menu Enhancements

If you ever want to quickly access specific friends in your custom list, you’ll be able to do so via the pulldown menu under the Friends tab in Quick Menu. You can also see who’s currently online.

Whenever you’re listening to music on PS4, you’ll be able to access certain shortcuts from the Quick Menu. If you’re using Spotify on PlayStation Music, the ‘square’ button will serve as the shortcut for volume control. And when you’re on the Media Player or the USB Music Player, ‘triangle’ will work as the shortcut for play or pause, and the ‘square’ button as the volume control.

PS4 5.50 Update: Background Music on PS Now

With Background Music on PlayStation Now, you’ll be able to listen to your favorite tracks while streaming a game on PS Now. Just keep in mind that, similar to when playing a game locally on PS4, background music may not always be available.

PS4 5.50 Update: Notifications Update

This update will give you the ability to delete old notifications for better organization and management. Just go to Notifications and press the ‘triangle’ or ‘Options’ button to open up a menu that will allow you to select a single or multiple notifications you’d like to delete.

PS4 5.50 Update: Import Custom Wallpapers via USB

Love customizing your PS4 Home Screen? Well, this new update will give you even more options. You can import your own images to PS4 from a USB stick and set it as your wallpaper. You can also zoom and crop your images so they look perfect on your dashboard. Just go to Settings > Themes > Select Theme > Custom > Select Image > USB Storage Device.

PS4 5.50 Update: Customize Tournaments Team Pages

Following the 5.50 update, you’ll be able to customize your Tournaments team page with your own team logo or background that you can import from a USB stick. Represent your team by customizing your team page with something unique and original! To set your logo and background, head over to Events > Teams > select your team > Edit Team Profile.

PS4 5.50 Update: Supersampling Mode on PS4 Pro

PS4 Pro users will see a new ‘supersampling mode’ under Settings, which enables those with HDTVs (i.e., 1080p or less) to enjoy an enhanced visual experience when playing some PS4 games. With supersampling mode, games that render to a higher resolution when connected to a 4K TV will downscale to match the HDTV – allowing PS4 Pro owners to leverage the benefits of an image clarity boost even if they don’t own a 4K TV. Certain games already have ‘supersampling’ benefits as part of their ‘PS4 Pro Enhanced’ feature set, but this new mode can enhance the experience for those games that don’t already have the feature. Because PS4 Pro’s added power and modes benefit different games in different ways, please note that certain games’ image clarity may not improve with this new feature.

Those are some pretty huge changes coming in the PS4 5.50 update!

Are you a Sony system owner? If so, which feature are you most looking forward to using? Let us know!

Report: Red Dead Redemption 2 Multiplayer Battle Royale Mode, First-Person Option & More Leaked

It looks like Red Dead Redemption 2 will be joining the “battle royale revolution,” if reports from Trusted Reviews are to be believed. According to TR, “a number of development notes” offer hints at featured missions, mechanics, online multiplayer modes, and the story.

Highlights of the leaks include: a new “Battle Royale” mode for multiplayer, as well as a “Revive and Survive” and “Money Grab” game types; the ability to play both the main campaign and the multiplayer in first-person, with “bespoke animations” available in first-person; and player actions leading “to events unfolding differently depending on which characters you interact with.”

Like with GTA Online, Red Dead Redemption 2 multiplayer will allow players to roam the open world. However, RDR2 will apparently “provide far more depth.” Players will be able to complete objectives and receive rewards, and tents will be the Red Dead-ified apartments.

The leaked notes also speak of a Red Dead Redemption 2 companion app, which is to launch alongside the game.

red dead 2 leak

The remaining details largely consist of returning features from the original Red Dead Redemption. Expect random encounters, collecting plants and herbs, a wanted level bounty, and the Dead Eye mechanic, to all make a return.

As this is not officially confirmed by Rockstar Games, all of this information should all be taken with a grain of salt.

What do you make of this big Red Dead 2 leak? Like what you hear? Or are you hoping it’s all false? Let me know!

In other Red Dead Redemption 2 news, the game’s release date has been pushed back to October 26, a new story trailer dives deep into the plot, and we included the title in our “5 Must-Play Titles of 2018” video list.

The Avengers Project Details Shared by Marvel, Confirms Its a New and Original Story

While we know that Square Enix is working on a untitled Avenger’s game for Marvel simply titled, the “Avengers Project,” there’s not much to go on. Sure, we know it’s being made by Crystal Dynamics (Tomb Raider), and that it’s being worked on by an impressive list of video game vets, but for the most part, Marvel itself has remained silent about it…at least until now.

On a news update on the company’s official site, Marvel talked a bit about the Avengers Project, the recent hirings, and even confirming that it’ll be based on a new untold story.

The Avengers project, featuring a completely new and original story, will introduce a universe gamers can play in for years to come. The project will be jammed pack with characters, environments, and iconic moments that will thrill Marvelites.

We hired fifteen world-renowned industry veterans, spanning production leadership, animation, design, art and engineering, who have previously worked on games such as Batman: Arkham Origins, Dead Space, Star Wars:Battlefront and many more,” shared Ron Rosenberg, Co-Head of Studio at Crystal Dynamics. “Their AAA experience adds to an already deep roster, making us well-positioned to deliver on the ambitious goals we’ve set for ourselves with The Avengers project. It’s a stellar addition of many people who fit incredibly well into our wheelhouse of building game experiences we all love.

Yep, that’s still not a lot to go on, but the fact that Marvel is talking about it now is a good sign, right? At the very least, we should hear about this game within the year, I expect. Maybe sometime close or at E3? One can hope.
