COD: Ghosts – Infinity Ward Teases New Weapon and Map For Season Pass Holders

Call of Duty: Ghosts developer Infinity Ward is teasing a new weapons and multiplayer map for owners of the game’s Season Pass.

“Season Pass holders: this is for you,” the studio said in a recent Instagram posting. You can catch the teaser video right here and check out a few of the screens below.

Screen Shot 2014-03-05 at 9.36.51 AM

As you can see in the video and images, the new sub-machine gun looks like it came straight out of a sci-fi movie, sporting transforming iron/optic sights, a curved magazine, and a grey-black metallic finish. The map also appears to take place on a large bridge similar in style to the Brooklyn Bridge.

UPDATE: The weapon actually appears to be some sort of SMG-Assault Rifle hybrid. You’ll notice two distinct ‘modes’; “SMG” and “ASLT”, depending on which sight or optic is in use.

According to a leaked document discovered last week, we believe either the new sub-machine gun weapon or the weapon and map bundle is called “The Ripper”. As it says in the video, more information on it is coming tomorrow.

What do you think? Excited to learn more?

The Division Gets New Screens

There still isn’t a whole lot out there for Ubisoft Massive’s open-world tactical, survival third-person shooter The Division, but that doesn’t mean the studio won’t tease small bits every now and then.

Earlier today, Massive posted a new in-game screenshot of their work in progress, showing off a soldier mid fire-fight atop two buildings in a digitally recreated New York city. There might not be anything too interesting to look at, but it does a good job reassuring viewers that the game does look pretty darn good.

Screen Shot 2014-03-04 at 9.49.25 PM

Here’s another one from a few weeks ago.

Screen Shot 2014-03-04 at 9.49.57 PM

Again, The Division really does look stunning. If it weren’t for some of the HUD elements, you could pass this image off as real life.

Hopefully we’ll get to see more of the game in action and learn a little more about it in the coming weeks and months. Recently, we learned that there will be “little or no interruption” between solo play, PvP, and co-op. Catch the details here

Keep your sights locked on MP1st for more on The Division.

Counter-Strike: Global Offensive is a GO on Linux, Says Newell

Counter-Strike: Global Offensive is coming to Linux.

We don’t know when, but according to Valve studio head Gabe Newell’s statements in a recent Reddit AMA, a Linux version of the classic shooter is currently in development.

“It’s being worked on but we don’t have an ETA,” said Newell in response to a question about the game coming to Linux.

Valve and Hidden Path Entertainment originally launched Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, an updated version of the original Counter-Strike, on PC, Mac, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3 in August 2012.

Users are currently enjoying a CS:GO update called Operation Phoenix that offers eight top-voted Operation maps chosen by the community as well as 13 new community-created weapon finishes.

Are you a Linux gamer?

Thanks, Polygon.

Microsoft Details Xbox One March System Update, Rolling Out Today

Microsoft is launching a brand new Xbox One system update today that looks to improve a number of features with some of the biggest tweaks coming to the console’s Friends and Party functions.

The update also prepares the platform for Respawn Entertainment’s upcoming shooter, Titanfall.

“I’m excited to share that our second, and most significant, system update for Xbox One is starting to roll out today and includes improved matchmaking, party chat and friends features that will make gaming on Xbox One an experience like no other,” chief product officer Marc Whitten said in the latest Xbox Wire update.

Before checking out the video presentation above and reading up on the full details below, Whitten also outlined a few of the company’s upcoming goals, mentioning another future update to come.

“We know external hard drive storage is another big one on your list. It’s on our list too,” he said. “We’re working on that for a future update and will keep you posted. We’re also working on friends notification improvements and experimenting with how to make that better.”

For now, check out the full update notes below, as listed by Mr. Whitten.

Xbox One March System Update

Get to your friends list faster. – The friends list is now front and center on the homepage of the Friends app. Click the Social tile on Home, or say “Xbox, go to Friends” to see who’s online and what they’re up to. From there you can quickly send messages and get into a party.

Party chat on by default. – When you party up, chat audio is turned on by default.

Chat with friends playing different games. – Party chat is now separated from people playing your game, so you can chat with your friends who are online or you can chat with everyone playing the game.

“Invite friends to game” option available in your multiplayer titles. – Similar to Xbox 360 titles, when you’re inside a game’s menu you have a simpler and quicker way to set up your multiplayer battles. Selecting “Invite friends” lets you invite friends to your game and party.

See a list of “Recent Players.” – This is a simple list that shows you Xbox Live members you’ve recently played with, making it easier to stay in touch with people, add new friends after your multiplayer sessions, or report a player for bad behavior.

Twitch live streaming support. – The best broadcasting and spectating experience on any game console is on its way to Xbox One with the new Twitch app launching on March 11, just say “Xbox broadcast” to start sharing.  Xbox One is the only next-gen console that allows you to archive your Twitch broadcasts and view live Twitch streams regardless of their original source.

Dolby Digital sound. – Optical out now supports 5.1 Dolby Digital, enabling devices such as sound bars and headsets with only optical in to be able to receive 5.1 Dolby Digital from Xbox One over optical. We’re also adding support for Dolby Digital surround sound over HDMI. Now you’ll be able to have the best sound quality no matter what speaker setup you are using.

We will now support 50Hz output to Xbox One. – You can set the live TV app to display at 50Hz for full or fill modes, fixing the frame rate issues some users in Europe have been experiencing while watching live TV on Xbox One.

Volume up/down adjustments. – We’re making it easier to adjust the volume on your Xbox One. Now, you can tailor the number of volume increments when using “Xbox volume up” or “Xbox volume down” voice commands.

New ways to stay connected with SmartGlass. – We’re introducing new ways for you to stay connected with your friends through Xbox One SmartGlass. Receive notifications of Xbox Live messages, check out what your friends are doing, and see their latest highlight clips. You can even unsnap apps with the tap of a finger – all from your personal device.

Support for new Xbox One accessories. – Xbox One now supports the recently announced Xbox One Stereo Headset and Adapter, the Xbox One Media Remote with a dedicated OneGuide button, as well as third party headsets.

Browser improvements. – When you’re searching for content, there’s now a direct link to IE to see related results on the web. New gesture and controller features let you directly zoom and pan Bing and Google maps.  And search is even faster in IE – just highlight a phrase on a web page and press the menu button to search Bing and learn more.

IR blasting of power and volume to TVs/AVRs is now available in all regions.

Easy sound bar setup. – Your audio sound bar set up just got a lot easier. You no longer need to type in the model number for most sound bars or AVRs when setting up TV on Xbox One.

General improvements. – Last, but not least, a few miscellaneous updates like the ability to view Game Clips while in Snap mode and a new passkey feature to protect user settings.

Titanfall – Respawn CEO on Xbox 360 Version, Recent Leaks, Season Pass, and More

In a recent interview, Respawn Entertainment CEO Vince Zampella laid down a lot of info on the studio’s fast-approaching sci-fi shooter, Titanfall, including details on the Xbox 360 version of the game, Titanfall’s season pass, and why there’s no single player.

He also touched on some of the recent leaks that you might have seen right here, including images of the game’s multiplayer maps, and the newly unveiled Pilot Hunter mode, among many other things.

While Zampella says he hasn’t seen many of these leaks, he admits that sometimes you just have to let it go. “I haven’t read it all so I can’t say if some of it’s incorrect or not, but, I mean, at some point you just have to throw up your arms and say, ‘alright, you got us’,” he said. “It is what it is. It’s out there.”

Humerously, when asked what he would do with a Titan if he had one for a day, Zampella answered that he would “step on the guy” that leaked all their info.

Moving on, a small point of controversy surrounding Titanfall is its lack of any single player content. According to Zampella, it’s “about looking at where people spend most of their time.”

“Generally, people burn through a single player campaign as fast as they can, you spend 5-6 hours, and 80% of the work goes into that. And then you go and spend 100 hours in this thing that gets bare bones – it’s the minimum you can get away with,” he continued. “For us, it was about pushing the boundaries of what multiplayer is. So let’s take all that great single player stuff, build up the world – that world that you’re going to spend a hundred hours in should be the most full-featured.”

While it’s confirmed that DLC for the game is indeed in the works, curious fans have long wondered if the studio would offer a season pass as a way to discount the entire bundle.

“We plan to do DLC to support the game,” Zampella explained. “We’re going to do paid DLC. We’re also going to do free updates. We’re going to add in – there’s things that we want in the game that we didn’t get to ship in the final game, so we’ll add private matches and things like that for free. We’re going to do a season pass just because if you buy it up front, you get a deal. We’re not doing micro-transactions. So, you know, a season pass is just, buy it up front and get a better price.”

So, there you have it. Titanfall will have a season pass. Keep your eyes open for more announcements on that later.

Zampella also touched on the highly secretive Xbox 360 version of Titanfall in development at Bluepoint Games.

Though he admitted he wasn’t the best person to speak to this, he stated that their hope is to get both versions as similar as possible when it comes to features.

“That’s the goal,” he said. “I mean the game’s obviously not done yet. [Bluepoint Games is] doing a port of our game. We just started our day on patch, so they now have to take that and integrate it into their game. So, they’re naturally lagging behind us. The goal is to get it as close as possible. Obviously it won’t be exact. It’s on a less powerful system.

When asked if continued support for both titles would be equal, Zampella answered, “we’ll have to sit down with EA and talk about that, but my assumption is yes.”

Lastly, on the topic of a sequel, Zampella couldn’t confirm the studio’s intent on creating a series or franchise out of Titanfall, but he did mention that he “could see a sequel working, absolutely.”

Check out the entire interview over at GameSpot.

Thanks, Aaron Kenney, for the tip!

PvZ: Garden Warfare To Receive Higher Level Cap Alongside First DLC, Mixed Mode Now Live

With the recent release of PopCap’s Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare, the team is already hard at work with post-launch content.

This is according to a recent tweet from the development team who teases that they’ve received a sneak peek of the first add-on content for Garden Warfare and that it’ll be “amazingly hilarious”.

As we reported earlier, those who purchased Garden Warfare can expect to see all DLC for the game to be free of cost, according to franchise marketing director, Gary Clay.

When the first add-on content for Garden Warfare does arrive, additional content won’t be the only thing it’ll introduce, as you’ll also be greeted with a new level cap, increasing it to beyond 80.

Additionally, as of today, a new “Mixed Mode” playlist is now available which combines Garden And Graveyards and Team Vanquish into one playlist. There are also two new sticker packs available for 20,000 coins each; the Incredi-Plant Pack, containing new items for Plants, and the Vengeful Zomboss Pack, containing new items Zombies.

Looking forward to additional in-game content? How are you enjoying PvZ: Garden Warfare so far?

New Call of Duty: Ghosts Game Update and Personalization Packs Available

A 2.1 GB game update is now available for the Xbox One version of Call of Duty: Ghosts.

Patch notes are not yet available [EDIT: see update at bottom of post], but we do know that it introduces new personalization packs to the in-game marketplace, including skins for Makarov, Rorke, Zakhaev, and the Hazmat man. The same applies to the Xbox 360 version of the game as well. You can catch the details on these items right here.

Screen Shot 2014-03-04 at 11.50.00 AM

In addition, the update introduces the Free Fall dynamic bonus map to all playlists, now free to download for all Xbox Live members.

From what we can see, it has also entirely revamped Call of Duty: Ghosts’ Operations, making each Operation accessible at any time. You can, however, still highlight the Operations you want to keep track of more easily.

Screen Shot 2014-03-04 at 11.49.13 AM

As an unfortunate side effect, however, reports are coming in that the Maniac Juggernaut Killstreak in the Assault Package has been severely bugged. It now carries an SC-2010 assault rifle, instead of wielding its default Combat Knife. It’s more than likely that Infinity Ward is currently looking into a fix for the bug.

UPDATE: According to Infinity Ward on Twitter, the Xbox One version of Call of Duty: Ghosts now supports LAN play.

As a couple of side notes, four new personalization packs are also available on the Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 marketplace:

Screen Shot 2014-03-04 at 12.11.55 PM

PlayStation 4 Sells Over 6 Million Units

In a truly remarkable feat, Sony Computer Entertainment has now sold over 6 million PlayStation 4 units worldwide, the company announced today.

This is just over one week following the console’s successful launch in Japan and just over three and a half months after it’s initial release in North America.

“There have now been more than 3.6 million live broadcasts, and more than 56 million spectate sessions on PS4 through Twitch and Ustream,” writes VP of Marketing John Koller in the latest PS Blog posting. “In fact, since January 1st, PS4 gamers account for 20% of daily broadcasters on Twitch. PS4 owners are also embracing the Share button on the DUALSHOCK 4 Wireless Controller, with more than 100 million shares captured as fans show friends their latest achievements on Facebook and Twitter.”

Fittingly, Killzone: Shadow Fall, the console’s exclusive debut shooter, is getting its first batch of free DLC later today as the game also goes free-to-play for the remainder of the week. Catch the details here.

Congrats, Sony!

Report – Driveclub Release Date Revealed?

Originally planned to launch alongside the PlayStation 4, Driveclub may now finally have its long awaited release date.

User 100mph of PSNation, reported seeing an official Tweet from the Driveclub Twitter handle, saying that the game would release on “9.4.14”.

The Tweet, however, has since been removed and the studio now puts the game at an “Early 2014” release date. “Exact date is still TBC,” it says.

It’s important to take note that Driveclub is being developed by Evolution, whom are based in Europe. This could potentially mean, if the leak is correct, the game will be releasing next month. This wouldn’t be surprising either, as Sony’s very own CEO reported in an interview with Variety that he currently enjoys playing games like Driveclub on his PlayStation.

Driveclub was first announced last year as “team-based” racing game coming to the PlayStation 4.

Rumor – First PlanetSide 2 PlayStation 4 Gameplay [Off Screen] [Updated]

Update

It’s been pointed out that the camera man was recording PlanetSide 2 gameplay footage being played back by PlayStation 4’s web browser and not from the actual disk drive. The video is, therefore, unquestionably fake.

Original Story

Above is what appears to be some of the first footage of the PlayStation 4 version of Sony Online Entertainment’s large-scale free-to-play FPS, PlanetSide 2.

The user clearly shows a working PlayStation 4 console and even demonstrates the consoles’s user interface. It’s unclear how the copy was attained, however.

Last we heard, PlanetSide 2 will launch on the PlayStation 4 as a free-to-play shooter in the first half of 2014.
