Gran Turismo Sport Update 1.08 Races Out, Here’s the Tweaks

by Alex Co

December 9, 2017 2:26 am in News

Just a few days after we got Gran Turismo Sport update 1.07, a new one has just raced out today on the PlayStation 4. Gran Turismo Sport update 1.08 is super tiny at just 95MB, but it brings with it some much-needed bug fixes.

Here’s the patch notes from the official website.

Please note this update is NOT the update for additional vehicles as notified in the “’Gran Turismo Sport’ Future Updates Preview”

The items that will be fixed by this update are asfollows:

１. FriendRankings
　- The Friend Rankings of the Campaign has been refreshed to resolve issues.

２． SaveData
　- We have fixed an issue where the save data would become corrupted due to a mismatch occurring at startup regarding the number of Race Photos registered as favorites, depending on the number of photos registered as favorites from the Gallery.

Other issues for improving stability have been addressed.

Same as before, there’s scheduled maintenance happening every Tuesday, which will mean players won’t be able to save their progress while the maintenance period is on going for two hours. Don’t forget to check out our fast money exploit to net you some sweet cash fast and easy.

PSX 2017: Detroit: Become Human Gameplay Demoed, PSX 2017 Audience Makes Crucial Choices

by Mack Ashworth

December 8, 2017 11:59 pm in News

Quantic Dream demoed Detroit: Become Human gameplay during PlayStation Experience 2017. It was an interactive experience, with the PSX 2017 audience helping to make crucial decisions.

While we’ve seen the scenario before, it hasn’t played out this way, and it was certainly interesting to see so many options available to the player. It might be a single-player game, but this is going to warrant multiplayer playthroughs.

Watch how decisions can affect the game’s story:

Travel to the near-future metropolis of Detroit – a city rejuvenated by an exciting technological development: androids. Witness your brave new world turn to chaos as you take on the role of Kara, a female android trying to find her own place in a turbulent social landscape.

Shape an ambitious branching narrative, making choices that will not only determine your own fate, but that of the entire city. Discover what it means to be human from the perspective of an outsider – see the world of man though the eyes of a machine.

Detroit: Become Human is coming out during spring 2018.

PSX 2017: Firewall Zero Hour Announced, VR 4v4 Tactical FPS

by Mack Ashworth

11:17 pm in News

Firewall Zero Hour was the first game announced during Sony’s PlayStation Experience 2017 event. It’s a PlayStation VR exclusive title, bringing 4v4 tactical FPS gameplay to Sony’s headset.

Firewall Zero Hour is being developed by First Contact Entertainment.

Check out the reveal trailer below:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hXdBU90_rac

Firewall Zero Hour is a team-based, tactical multiplayer FPS coming exclusively to PlayStation VR in 2018.

Information is power and in the right or wrong hands, can change the course of the world simply with the push of a button. A well-timed release of sensitive data can bring the most powerful swiftly to their knees and crumble empires in an instant.

In Firewall Zero Hour, two teams of mercenaries are hired by anonymous contract handlers to either protect or obtain highly sensitive information on a laptop in dangerous and exotic locations around the globe. Each team’s anonymous contract handler acts as their “eye in the sky” and guides each match by providing objectives and critical mission information along the way. Their only concern is the data and they are willing to pay you handsomely for it.

As Attackers, your team’s objectives are: Bypass the Firewall access points, Locate the Laptop and Initiate the Hack.

As Defenders, your team’s objectives are: Secure the Firewall access points, Protect the Laptop and Prevent the Hack.

Each team accomplishes these objectives through highly-coordinated teamwork with an arsenal of modern weapons and offensive/defensive equipment to help their team and hinder the other. Players are rewarded in-game with cryptocurrency and experience points upon the successful completion of contracts/matches and can use those currencies to upgrade contractors, weapons, equipment, load-outs and cosmetic customization.

Ubisoft Delays Far Cry 5, The Crew 2 and an “Unannounced Franchise” Game

by Alex Co

6:15 pm in News

In a press release, Ubisoft has announced the release date delays of Far Cry 5, The Crew 2, and an “unannounced franchise” game. Far Cry 5, which was originally scheduled for release on February 27, 2018, will now be out on March 27, 2018. The Crew 2 will come out in the “first half of fiscal 2018-19” rather than on the original target date of March 16, 2018.

In addition to those two, Ubisoft also states, “one of the three unannounced franchise games initially planned for release in Fiscal 2018-19 now will be released in Fiscal 2019-20.” As one can expect, no other clues were given about this unannounced game.

According to Ubisoft, part of the delay stems from the the success of Assassin’s Creed Origins, which eschewed its annual release to tinker with the game’s formula.

Christine Burgess-Quémard, Ubisoft’s Worldwide Studios Executive Director: “This decision is in line with our strategic vision of developing even more engaging and higher quality experiences for gamers. Taking more time with Assassin’s Creed Origins enabled our talented development team to fully express their creative vision. As expected, this had a very positive impact on the game’s quality and largely participated to its commercial success. Taking a similar approach, we have decided to invest additional development time in three upcoming games.”

If the delay means more polish and a better gaming experience, then bring it on. I’d rather have a finished game than something rushed just to meet sales projections, and glad Ubisoft sees it that way too.

Star Wars Battlefront II Sells Over 800K in Debut at Retail, New The Last Jedi Challenges Are Up

by Alex Co

4:30 pm in News

Just a few days ago, we posted the Star Wars Battlefront II The Last Jedi season challenges. Well, it looks like there’s a bunch of new ones up right now. Thankfully, the new one is super easy and just consists of defeating 75 enemies using any class.

Speaking of The Last Jedi, check out the season trailer right here to see Finn and Captain Phasma in action. There’s also talk of microtransactions not coming back at all to Battlefront II, which should make a ton of people very happy.

In other Battlefront II news, the game has reportedly sold 882,000 units at retail in its first two weeks of availability according to the NPD Group. This sales figure doesn’t count digital downloads and is only applicable for US sales. For reference, 2015’s Battlefront sold 1.8 million copies at retail in its launch month.

This is a massive drop off in sales, which no doubt have been affected by the negative word of mouth surrounding loot boxes and microtransactions.

Are you surprised at all in Battlefront II’s initial sales numbers or did you expect it given the negative reaction to the game and how EA tried to force in microtransactions?

Monster Hunter World Beta Download Is Now Live, Get It Here

by Alex Co

2:26 pm in News

In case you need something to play this weekend, Capcom’s Monster Hunter World beta is now live! Set to start today until December 12, 9 a.m. PST, the Monster Hunter World beta download can be initiated here, and it’s around 5.47GB.

If you’re wondering what to expect from this action-adventure online game, here’s some of the important info.

Specifics

Start Time: December 9, 2017 at 9:00 a.m. PT / 5:00 p.m. GMT / 6:00 p.m. CET
End Time: December 12, 2017 at 8:59 a.m PT / 4:59 p.m. GMT / 5:59 p.m. CET
Location: Your gaming room + the Internet
Requirements: Internet connection, PlayStation 4, PlayStation Plus subscription, 5.9 GB of free space, hunting spirit

Quests

The beta features three quests across two environments from the game. In the Ancient Forest, you can hunt a fierce yet beginner-friendly Great Jagras or as a more experienced player confront the mighty threat of an Anjanath. In the Wildspire Waste, a massive, dry expanse with swamplands, you can face off against the intermediate level mud-slinging Barroth.

Rewards

In addition to an unquantifiable amount of fun, complete each quest and you’ll get some useful bonus items in the full game! Just make sure you use the same Sony Entertainment Network account for both the beta and the full game.

Additional Notes

Each quest can be done solo or with up to three other players online, and you’ll be able to choose from 14 different weapon types based on your preferred play style, which you can now change during quests at camp. You can even try out each of them before heading out on a quest by visiting the series’ all-new Training Room, included in the beta! Potions and other supplies will be provided on quests during the beta, but you’ll have to fetch your own food and drinks outside the game for those long gameplay sessions.

And one final note – this beta is just a taste for what the quests will look and feel like in the full game. The beta features a game currently in development and some aspects about balance may be different from the full game, but the satisfaction of tracking and bringing down a giant monster you’ll find is all there.

Stay tuned to our Monster Hunter World beta impressions set to go up soon once we get enough time with the beta.

PSA: Destiny 2 Prometheus Lens Sold by Xur, Enjoy It Before the Nerf

by Mack Ashworth

12:37 pm in News

In addition to covering Destiny 2 Xur’s inventory in our usual weekly update post, I figured that a separate article was warranted on this very special occasion. You see, Xur is selling the incredibly overpowered Prometheus Lens weapon, which I think players need to experience before the inevitable nerf.

Yes, I know that the Crucible will become a mess for the weekend, but I think it’s important that all Destiny players wield what is a truly overpowered weapon.

Head over to Xur and make the purchase, then dive into the Crucible and see just how much damage this thing kicks out. (Of course, you’ll likely come across others taking advantage of the weapon’s power!)

Here’s a rundown of the Prometheus Lens’ perks, which combine to make for an insane damage output!

Prismatic Inferno

Fires a Solar trace beam and generates a damaging heat field that grows while the weapon continues to fire.

Chambered Compensator

Stable barrel attachment

– Increases stability

– Moderately controls recoil

– Slightly decreases handling speed

Projection Fuse

Distance optimizations.

– Increases range

Flame Refraction

Kills with this weapon return a fraction of the ammo used to the magazine, extending the beam’s duration.

Composite Stock

This weapon has a versatile dual-purpose stock.

– Slightly increases stability

– Slightly increases handling speed

Will you be trying out the Prometheus Lens trace rifle this weekend? Let us know.

In other Destiny 2 news, the game’s future updates were detailed in a “State of the Game” overview, a limited edition loot crate is now available to pre-order, and a Destiny 2 free trial is now available for PC, PS4 and Xbox One.

Ghost Recon Wildlands PvP Update Detailed, Coming December 14

by Mack Ashworth

10:42 am in News

Ghost Recon Wildlands was recently transformed from a hardcore PvE adventure, into a hardcore PvE and PvP experience. The PvP Ghost War mode is set to expand on December 14, with the next free major update.

All players will gain access to two new classes, be able to take part in ranked play, test their skills on new maps, wield new weapons, and more.

Here’s everything we know about the December 14 update, so far:

The competitive battlegrounds of Ghost War are expanding on December 14 with the second major free update to Ghost Recon Wildlands’ PVP mode. Two new classes are joining the fight, one of which is the Pathfinder, a stealth-oriented Ghost who brings a fearsome crossbow into the field and cannot be marked by drones. The second class?
