Diablo 4 New Season Starts Jan. 23; Here’s What to Expect From “Season of the Construct”

  by   Alex Co  
1:46 pm in News

Blizzard Entertainment has the next set of activities and new content lined up for Diablo 4, and it’s due next week! The Diablo 4 new season is titled “Season of the Construct” and starts January 23, 2024! Read on for what to expect from it.

Diablo 4 New Season – “Season of the Construct” Details:

Start Time: January 23, 2024 at 10 am PT/1 pm ET/2 am HKT

SEASON OF THE CONSTRUCT
  • Created by Zolton Kulle and Ayuzhan of Caldeum, an ancient technology known as the Loom has been usurped by the Demon Malphas. In this all-new quest line, team up with Zoltun’s former companion, Ayuzhan, to defeat Malphas and his deadly constructs.
  • Visit the Gatehall, a new town center underneath Kehjistan, which will serve as your base of operations in the fight against the Constructs.
  • You will acquire your very own Seneschal Companion during the Seasonal Questline which will fight by your side and can be customized to fit your playstyle.
  • Using magical Governing and Tuning Stones recovered from the Vaults, you can augment the Seneschal. Governing Stones determine which attacks your Seneschal perform, and Tuning Stones augment those skills and provide greater utility.
  • Vaults are a deadly new dungeon riddled with various elemental Hazards and a new monster family, The Constructs. At World Tier III, Nightmare Vaults will unlock.
  • When entering a vault, you can convert Pearls of Warding and be blessed by Zoltun’s Warding, a special layered blessing that grants access to riches within the Vaults. These will diminish stack by stack if you fall prey to the Hazards within. Pearls of Warding can increase the risk by exchanging them for stacks of Zoltun’s Warding, but success will see your reward increase as well.
  • Pearls of Warding can be obtained from destroying Elite Constructs during Arcane Tremors in the overworld.
LEADERBOARDS AND QUALITY-OF-LIFE UPDATES
  • The Gauntlet is coming soon after the start of Season of the Construct! This is a weekly rotating fixed dungeon where players can compete for the top spot on the leaderboards. Top weekly scores will earn a permanent place in the Hall of the Ancients. More details will be revealed in a future update.
  • Helltides will now always be active with a 5-minute rest once per hour.
  • Those on PC can now traverse Sanctuary by using W-A-S-D keys on the keyboard.
  • An extra Stash Tab is now available. Other improvements have been made to reallocating your skill tree, UI when trading Gold, and increased rates to earn summon items for the Beast in the Ice, and more!

For a more in-depth look at the incoming season, head on over here.

As for what’s incoming in terms of DLC, the Vessel of Hatred expansion is due to drop sometime in “late 2024.”

Same as always, once the patch for the new season is out, we’ll be sure to let our readers know.

Tomb Raider Trilogy Remastered Features Include Modern Controls, Photo Mode, and More

  by   Jack Breitenbach  
1:32 pm in News

Long-time Tomb Raider fans have plenty to look forward to with the upcoming re-release of the first three games in the series. Tomb Raider Trilogy Remastered will feature various controls options, an in-depth photo mode, and plenty more.

Developer Aspyr detailed many of the planned changes coming to the imminent Tomb Raider Trilogy Remastered release in a post on the PlayStation Blog this morning. Here’s what they shared with us:

Tomb Raider Trilogy Remastered Features:

Classic and Modern Control Options

Tomb Raider Trilogy Remastered will feature an option for modernized controls. This control scheme is reminiscent of the way Lara moves in Tomb Raider: Legend, Anniversary, and Underworld. Players will be able to move Lara independently of the camera, with the right stick retaining full camera control and the left stick moving Lara directionally. Tank controls will still be available for those seeking an experience more faithful to the original releases.

Boss Health Bars

Boss encounters will now feature a health bar UI at the bottom of the player’s screen. This health bar is meant to assist players through the more bullet-spongy enemies.  With this extra information available, it’ll be easier to choose whether to lay on some heavy damage with the games’ bigger weapons or continue plinking away with Lara’s signature dual pistols.

3D Item Sprites

In the original trilogy, in-game items and treasures were depicted with 2D sprites. Part of Aspyr’s effort to enhance the gameplay experience is converting these 2D sprites to full 3D models, giving them a better sense of presence in the world. The art style of these new models remains faithful to the original game’s vision, preventing them from standing out or seeming out-of-place.

Trophies, Trophies, and More Trophies

Tomb Raider Trilogy Remastered will feature a whopping 200+ trophies for players to collect. We don’t have the full trophy list yet, but Aspyr has reassured players that you will get a trophy for the most important actions like locking Winston the Butler in the freezer. Good times.

Photo Mode

No modern game is complete without a photo mode. With options for poses, facial expressions, outfits, and weapon changes, Tomb Raider Trilogy Remastered’s new photo mode will give players plenty of opportunities to show off the game’s delightful new graphics and document Lara’s adventures.

Visual Upgrades

Speaking of new graphics, the team at Aspyr strived to update the game in a way that remained faithful to the original trilogy’s aesthetic and feel. As they put it, they “want the games to look the way they did in your mind.” They do so through a few key improvements:

  • Baked and Real-Time Lighting Effects – Updated lighting goes a long way in older games. There’s a pretty clear difference and improvement in environmental ambience with the updated lighting system, but it’s not overdone in a way that kills the feel of the tomb-plundering classics.
  • Graphics Toggle – At any point in time, players can swap back and forth between the original and updated graphics. This really helps to cement the differences and let players see exactly what’s changed.
  • New Models, Environments, and Enemies – Aspyr’s touched up every part of the games’ 3D spaces, especially when it comes to character and enemy models. Lara herself sports a shiny new look that fits with the modern graphics without being unrecognizable. Textures and shaders have all been updated as well, giving them a “modern PS1” feel that really hits home.

This game looks great. It remains to be seen whether it hits the ideal remaster mark, but Aspyr clearly had a great design philosophy when working on this. Hopefully, it’ll turn those rose-colored memories of our time with the originals into reality and let us re-live some classic gaming experiences.

Tomb Raider Trilogy Remastered launches on February 14 for PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and PC.

Follower States
  • Befuddled – Followers will stumble around, vomit, fight, chat, laugh, sing, and generally have a merry old time until they are no longer befuddled.
  • Injured – Followers will limp around feeling sorry for themselves until they are no longer injured.
Chore Levelling Up
  • When cleaning a poop/vomit/burnt or cleaning out an outhouse, XP will be generated.
  • Once the chore XP bar reaches full, the Lamb will unlock a new mop. There are as many as 10 (!!!) mops to unlock.

Poop variations
  • Golden Poop – Drops gold when cleaned. Drops gold/gold bars when harvesting a crop fertilized with golden poop.

Remedy Logo Facing Trademark Dispute From Rockstar Games Parent Take-Two Interactive

  by   Jack Breitenbach  
11:28 am in News

Rockstar Games parent company Take-Two Interactive has apparently been involved in a trademark dispute with Control and Alan Wake II studio Remedy Entertainment. The dispute, which was reportedly filed back in September 2023, accuses the recently revamped Remedy logo of being too similar to Rockstar’s own.

The trademarks for Remedy’s logo are visible online on the UK’s Intellectual Property Office website. We’ve included images of the trademarks for viewing below:

According to the trademark’s historic details, both Remedy logos were filed in May of 2023. Since then, they went through an examination and publication process before ultimately being opposed on September 12 of last year. Looking at the oppositions information, it’s clear to see that Take-Two Interactive is the company behind the dispute.

This isn’t the first time Rockstar’s parent company has done something like this. Back in 2021, the company filed a dispute against Hazelight Studios for their game It Takes Two. They claimed the game’s title was too close to their own company name and effectively blocked Hazelight from securing the title for sequels. It’s a move that seems kind of scummy, especially since anyone who plays enough video games to know Take-Two Interactive is going to be able to differentiate between the massive holding company and the indie darling Game of the Year winner.

We can’t imagine Take-Two will actually get anywhere with this dispute, but it sure is unsurprising to see them try. We’ll be sure to let our readers know if this case progresses any further.

Ubisoft Plus Director Discusses the Rise of Subscription Services and Says Gamers Should Get Used to Not Owning Games

  by   Jack Breitenbach  
10:38 am in News

After a recent revamp of their popular subscription service, Ubisoft Plus Director of Subscriptions Philippe Tremblay sat down for an interview to discuss the changing landscape of video games and the mediums they’re delivered in. According to him, gamers should get used to making the shift to digital and give up on owning their games.

The interview in question was conducted by GamesIndustry.biz, who talked to Tremblay about the new Ubisoft Plus Premium subscription and what it means for Ubisoft’s future. Tremblay had a good bit to say regarding how people interact with their subscription:

We looked at the consumer behaviour and how people were interacting with our offer and we saw an opportunity for us to evolve. When we look at how gamers engage with our different games, we see that our back catalogue is still very active and alive. So we saw an opportunity to offer these worlds to our consumers for a lower fee. And this is a response to the behaviour that we saw from players.

There are multiple behaviours. There are definitely a lot of people who come in for one game and then decide to buy it after [the subscription ends]. That’s part of the reality and that’s okay with us.

Their new model is apparently bringing in new players who wouldn’t touch their products before, according to Tremblay. There are plenty of gamers who are now engaging solely on the subscription side of Ubisoft’s library. It’s a new alternative to outright buying the games they want to play, and it’s working for lots of people.

This idea of playing a game without owning it is one that Tremblay insists is going to become the norm for gaming. While he expresses sympathy for those who hold onto their physical media, he also says that the time of ownership is fading fast:

One of the things we saw is that gamers are used to, a little bit like DVD, having and owning their games. That’s the consumer shift that needs to happen. They got comfortable not owning their CD collection or DVD collection. That’s a transformation that’s been a bit slower to happen [in games]. As gamers grow comfortable in that aspect… you don’t lose your progress. If you resume your game at another time, your progress file is still there. That’s not been deleted. You don’t lose what you’ve built in the game or your engagement with the game. So it’s about feeling comfortable with not owning your game.

I still have two boxes of DVDs. I definitely understand the gamers perspective with that. But as people embrace that model, they will see that these games will exist, the service will continue, and you’ll be able to access them when you feel like. That’s reassuring.

Tremblay’s not wrong. We’ve already seen both Microsoft and PlayStation begin to sell all-digital consoles. Game streaming has also been an endeavor of numerous companies such as Amazon, Microsoft, Netflix, and more. We’re on a pretty constant clip towards dissolving physical media as a whole. It won’t be too long before your physical library takes on a status not unlike a collection of vinyls.

We’re watching closely to see where the future of Ubisoft Plus leads. Stay tuned into us here at MP1st to keep yourself in the loop.

BF 2042 Update 1.000.050 Fires Out for Patch Version 6.2.1 This Jan. 16

  by   James Lara  
3:46 am in News

A small hotfix for Battlefield 2042 is rolling out for all gamers, which current-gen gamers will see as BF 2042 update 1.000.050. This is the Battlefield 2042 update 6.2.1 that was announced last week.

BF 2042 Update 1.000.050 Patch Notes | BF 2042 Update Today Patch Notes:

Size: 685MB (PS5)  (PS4)

CHANGELOG

  • The YUV-2 Pondhawk is now available from the Light Ground Transport Vehicle list for Custom Conquest, Air Superiority and Ground Superiority Custom Experiences in Battlefield Portal.
  • The YUV-2 Pondhawk should no longer spawn under the map when deploying on it within Breakthrough > Flashpoint as the attacking side, during the final sector.
  • Attachments for the RM68 will now correctly display the Charon Weapon Skin colors rather than appear as factory standard items.
  • Soldiers will now be able to successfully spawn on Capture Point A4 whilst it is being contested by the enemy team on Control > Breakaway.
  • Fixed an issue on F-35E Panther changing its flying characteristics after activating VTOL while using mouse and keyboard peripherals.
  • F-35E Panther and SU-57 Felon should now have similar flight sensitivity while using mouse and keyboard peripherals.
  • Further improvements have been made to sticky input while using mouse and keyboard peripherals.

Dev Comment: This will make triggering sticky input quicker and easier especially for default settings, allowing players to do loops without constantly dragging their mouse across the mousepad. Players will still need to provide aggressive input in order to initially trigger this maneuver.

While Season 7 is due for a reveal and release in March, check out what to expect in the meantime in this Road to Season 7 roadmap.
