TGA 2017: “GTFO” Game Announced in New Gameplay Trailer, Four-Player Co-Op Shooter

  by   Alex Co  
December 7, 2017 11:23 pm in News

Possibly one of the best reveals during this year’s The Game Awards is 10 Chamber Collective’s “GTFO” — a new, four-player co-op shooter that looks to bring the horror, action and more all in one go.

Watch the GFTO game trailer below, and marvel at how awesome it looks — especially considering it’s being made by an indie studio with just eight developers.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZNmVMuuk1rk

GTFO is a terrifying 4 player co-op game for hardcore FPS players, brought to you by the game designer behind the PAYDAY franchise. Players get to play as a team of scavengers, forced to explore and extract valuable artefacts from a vast underground complex that has been overrun by horrifying monsters. Gather weapons, tools and resources to help you survive – and work to unearth the answers about your past and how to escape. GTFO is set to be released 2018.

It’s not known whether GTFO will drop for consoles, but based on what’s shown so far, let’s hope it does.

TGA 2017: Watch PUBG Miramar Desert Map Gameplay Now, Then Play It Tonight!

  by   Mack Ashworth  
11:10 pm in News

During The Game Awards 2017, gameplay of the new PUBG desert map, Miramar, was finally unveiled to the world. This is the first time the new map was seen in action, and it’s a huge moment for the millions playing the game. Do note, that this map will be free to all players.

What’s more, players on the Test Server will be able to try out the new map tonight! (We’ll update this post with the exact time, once confirmed!)

Let’s not beat around the bush: the gameplay is just below. Hit play and enjoy!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8iR4kHj9qAY

We are excited beyond words that we can finally share the name of our new desert map and tell you a little bit about some of the places you can visit. When we decided to create a new map, we focused on creating an environment that is very different from Erangel. We wanted to go the opposite direction of having lush fields and forests and arrived at the harsh and unforgiving desert of what we can now reveal is Miramar. The unique terrain and dense urban areas of Miramar will create a new Battle Royale experience where the old strategies may no longer work and new tactics are required.

So there it is. Like what you saw? Excited to see and hear more about Miramar? Let us know in the comments below.

In other PUBG news, the Miramar map’s key locations have been given official descriptions and offer clues as to how gameplay will change, the developer has promised that they will never add microtransactions that affect gameplay, and Xbox players can get exclusive skins to celebrate the game’s console launch.

Nvidia Titan V Graphics Card Announced, Priced at $3000

  by   Mack Ashworth  
11:01 pm in Hardware

Nvidia just dropped a surprise bombshell during the NIPS 2017 conference. Jensen Huang, CEO of Nvidia, revealed the $3,000 Nvidia Titan V graphics card.

It’s less about gaming, and more about compute power for artificial intelligence. With that said, it should probably be pretty capable for gaming, too! (I mean, even programmers have got to have downtime, right?)

What do you make of the Nvidia Titan V?

We’ll update this post with more details, as they come in!

TGA 2017: Witchfire Announced, Made by The Vanishing of Ethan Carter Devs

  by   Alex Co  
10:53 pm in News

If you liked The Astronauts’ The Vanishing of Ethan Carter, then you’ll be in for a shock, as the studio’s new game is as far off from it as possible. Announced during The Game Awards is “Witchfire” a first-person shooter game that looks gorgeous.

Given the pedigree of the people behind Witchfire (The Astronauts are comprised of devs from People Can Fly and made Bulletstorm and Painkiller), this could very well turn out to be special. No release date or platforms have been revealed, but we’ll report on it once we know more.

TGA 2017: “Save the Single-Player Gamer” Trailer Brings the Laughs and the Deals

  by   Alex Co  
10:02 pm in News

While MP1st is a multiplayer-focused site, we do play and appreciate a lot of single-player games. With more and more games going the “Games as a Service route” (GaaS), Bethesda has made a trailer that wants to #SavePlayer1 and was rolled out during The Game Awards.

The video’s hosted by Lynda Carter (Wonder Woman), and Bethesda is even making a $100,000 donation to the ESA to fund the next generation of video game developers.

Gaming, like life, is often about social interaction – a time to join with others in a common cause, or to simply exorcise a few demons with some cathartic virtual carnage. But sometimes you just need a little time away. A place where you can go to escape the vicissitudes of everyday life. And that’s where a great single-player game comes in.

Once upon a time, these solitary experiences dominated the gaming landscape. But in recent years, with multiplayer on the rise, single-player games have become fewer in number. Meanwhile, the community has been clamoring for more single-player games, and the media has penned a panoply of pieces bemoaning the loss of single-player experiences. But never fear! Bethesda is here to help. In a new video that debuted at The Game Awards, starring none other than Lynda Carter, we share our vision for saving the single player.

So whether you pick up Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus, The Evil Within 2, Prey, Dishonored 2, DOOM, Fallout 4: Game of the Year, Skyrim Special Edition – or all of the above – rest assured that Bethesda has you covered with a critically acclaimed, award-winning single-player game that’s just what you need.

There’s a bunch of discounts for Bethesda’s games happening right now. We here at MP1st love games of all kinds. So we support #SavePlayer1 and play multiplayer as well. There’s no reason we can’t have both, right?

During The Game Awards pre-show, Geoff Keighley “unveiled” From Software’s new game! But sadly, aside from a super short teaser trailer, not much else is know. Not even a title. But you can check out the From Software next game teaser below.

It mentions “Shadows Die Twice.” and that’s kinda it. We do get to see what seems to be some sort of pulley, which some people are associating with Bloodborne 2. Once internet sleuths have deduced everything the video has to offer, we’ll be sure to let gamers know.
