  • C.A.R. SMG enters the crafter

  • Spitfire returns to the floor

  • Peacekeeper returns to the floor

Anvil Receiver Hop-Up

  • Limb damage multiplier reduced to 0.75 (was 0.9)

  • R301 damage reduced to 32 (was 35)

G7 Scout 

  • Damage reduced to 32 (was 34)

  • Damage increased to 15 (was 14)

Sentinel 

  • Now requires 1 shield cell to Energize (was 2)

BUG FIXES
  • Fixed mirage decoys not showing shield regen fx when near a Wattson Pylon or in Control or Gun Game modes.

  • 10 new Welcome Challenges added to help new players learn Apex.

  • New “Apex 101” badge reward for completing all 10 Welcome Challenges.

  • Changing characters in the Firing Range now has a smoother third-person transition.

  • Fixed rare issue with Mobile Respawn Beacon sometimes spawning the Dropship out of bounds.

Note that Apex Legends running in DirectX 11 (DX11) requires the operating system to use an additional buffer for compositing, which was not counted in mat_backbuffer_count. DX12 includes that required buffer in mat_backbuffer_count, so DX12 in full-screen mode with “1” will be just as low latency as DX11 with “0”.

  • Fixed issue where Crypto could inspect while using their drone removing the HUD.

  • Fixed issue where the lobby tabs would enter an unresponsive state after changing resolution on PC.

  • Adjusted hold and tap logic for controller players viewing weapons in Loadouts to be more responsive.

Tales of Symphonia Remastered Gameplay Trailer Showcases Classic JRPG With Modern Improvements

Tales of Symphonia, the classic JRPG released back in 2003 for the GameCube, is getting a remaster, and a new Tales of Symphonia Remastered gameplay trailer just came out.

The trailer showcases gameplay from the original Tales game with improved graphics and visuals to keep up with modern standards.

Here are some of the remaster’s features as highlighted on the game’s webpage:

AN EPIC ADVENTURE
Explore a rich and lively world filled with unforgettable characters and experience an emotionally charged storyline like never before.

FULLY RESTORED
Features graphically enhanced and improved gameplay.

THRILLING BATTLES
Play with up to 3 friends in local co-op mode to fight powerful opponents in real-time battles. Combine hundreds of special attacks and magic spells.

A 3D MASTERPIECE
Watch stunning anime cutscenes and become absorbed in endearing cel-shaded characters designed by renowned artist Kosuke Fujishima.

While the Tales franchise isn’t as widespread as the likes of games like Final Fantasy, it still has a sizeable following both in Japan and abroad. Tales of Symphonia was the franchise’s first worldwide release, making it an important entry in the Tales series. The franchise is still going strong today, with its most recent entry being the visually-stunning Tales of Arise.

Tales of Symphonia Remastered is slated for a February 17 launch on PS4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch, with backward compatibility for modern consoles (PS5 and Xbox Series X|S).

The Texas Chain Saw Massacre: Motion Capture Behind-The-Scenes Footage Revealed

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre has some pretty big shoes to fill as a video game adaptation, as it’s based on one of the most popular horror franchises of all time. The game doesn’t have an exact release date just yet, but we did recently get some behind-the-scenes footage of the game’s motion capture elements.

The 13-minute video, which was filmed back in July 2021, showcases the actors warming up and performing some cutscenes in their mocap suits. Mocap does look a little silly without context, but the final scenes will likely be a whole lot more horrifying.

Motion capture and its more complex counterpart, performance capture, have been popular forms of animating 3D models for many years now. They’re staples in many AAA titles, with some games such as God of War Ragnarok taking the technology to new heights. For a game like The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, motion capture sets an important foundation, at least according to Ronnie Hobs, Creative Director at Gun Interactive. 

“On Texas Chain Saw Massacre, the film, there’s a lot of terror, there’s a lot of uncomfortableness in the way characters moved, in the way they felt. So if you try to translate that to a video game, really, the motion capture is where it starts.”

We also learned a bit more about Johnny, a new character in the Texas Chain Saw Massacre universe. Johny’s mocap performance actor Dove Meir describes him this way:

“He’s the guy you’ll meet at the bar in town, that’ll talk to the ladies, get ’em feel very comfortable, and then bring ’em down to the house. And then he turns into a not-so-nice guy when the bad man takes over.”

A bit of gameplay footage is also sprinkled throughout the video, including a scene where the player appears to cut a door down with a chainsaw.

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre is set to launch sometime in 2023, and it’ll be available on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. You can wishlist the game on Steam here.

King of Fighters 15 – Shingo Yabuki Trailer Revealed, Will Launch Alongside Season 2 on Jan. 17

A new trailer for King of Fighters 15 highlights Shingo Yabuki, the fighting game’s latest addition to the character roster. Yabuki is a DLC character and will launch alongside the start of Season 2 on January 17.

In the trailer, we see Yabuki interact with a couple of other characters while also showing off his moves and combos.

As announced a couple of months ago, Shingo Yabuki is the first DLC character slated for 2023. He will be followed by Kim Kaphwan a South Korean Taekwondo expert who’s expected to come out sometime in spring this year. 

By the time King of Fighters 15 turns a year old on Valentine’s Day next month, the game will have already seen the release of multiple DLC characters and content. With over 50 characters already present in the roster, these next couple of additions will add to an already stacked fighting game cast.

King of Fighters 15 is out now on PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. If you’re interested, check out the review we made of the game last year, where we gave it a strong 9/10. Here’s our verdict: “The King is back. If you are a newcomer to the series, it is a fantastic game to start on your KOF journey. Returners will have a blast with the classic characters returning and the beautiful style improvements. You can preorder the Ultimate Edition to get three days of early access to The King of Fighters XV.”

Tchia Behind-the-Scenes Video Reveals the Real-Life Inspiration Behind Its Vibrant World

Tchia, an upcoming open-world adventure game, is heavily based on New Caledonia, a country found in the southwest Pacific Ocean. A recent video showcases Tchia behind-the-scenes footage from game developer Awaceb as its team travels across the country for inspiration.

In the video, we learn that New Caledonia is home to various biomes, and these biomes shaped the landscape of Tchia.

If you’re wondering why Tchia is so heavily inspired by this country, it’s actually because the founders of Awaceb come from these islands.

Awaceb, founded by two childhood friends from New Caledonia, is a small, nine-person Montreal-based studio creating a big adventure. Tchia draws inspiration from the homeland and firsthand experiences of these two friends, evoking the island nation’s customs, culture and gorgeous landscapes to create a powerful, fantastical island adventure. With a unique soundtrack and a cast of characters brought to life by talent from New Caledonia, Tchia is a true love letter to the team’s home.

In-game, you get to take control of various animals that live throughout the world, and you’ll be able to traverse areas inspired by New Caledonia’s lush greenery and landscapes. You also get to hear Drehu, a language native to New Caledonia that’s also featured in Tchia.

Tchia is set for an early 2023 release date on PS4, PS5, and PC.

New Forspoken Cinematic Trailer Revealed With More Blood-Pumping Music

Square Enix just posted a new Forspoken cinematic trailer. This trailer is shorter than the other ones we’ve been treated to thus far, so it doesn’t showcase a whole lot.

In the trailer, we see the protagonist Frey running away from something both in real-life New York and the fantasy world of Athia. The cinematic cuts between Frey running in both worlds, before she’s cornered and decides to fight back. Forspoken’s pretty different from RPGs released thus far when it comes to music choice, and this is certainly the case with this cinematic trailer, too, with “Revolution” by Bishop Briggs playing in the background.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N6goMdDb4UQ

As one of the first big PlayStation titles launching in 2023, Forspoken’s got some pretty big shoes to fill. The game is set to release following an incredibly successful God of War Ragnarok release back in November. And with the PS5 being easier to buy than ever before, this new influx of players may expose Forspoken to a much wider audience than expected.

Currently, PS5 owners can play a demo of Forspoken via the online store. You don’t get to do a whole lot, but if you’re excited to try the game out as soon as it launches, you can familiarize yourself with the game’s unique magic-based combat system and fast movement.

Forspoken is set to release on January 24. It’ll be available on PC and PS5 on launch, with the console exclusivity deal ending on January 23, 2025.

Rumor: Xbox Games Showcase Planned for January; Xbox Exec Hints at Something “Fun” This Week

Microsoft is apparently going to present some upcoming games via a showcase, according to rumors. The Xbox games showcase will be called “Developer_Direct,” and it’s expected to premiere on January 25 at 12PM PT.

The showcase is expected to include anticipated titles such as Forza Motorsport and Minecraft Legends. Because it’s an Xbox-only show, the scale won’t apparently be as big as reveals you’d see in presentations such as E3. 

This is good news for Xbox users as we really didn’t get any information during the last major games showcase in The Game Awards. With Microsoft seemingly going for something more along the lines of Nintendo Direct and PlayStation’s State of Play, we should be able to get more regular information regarding games developed for the console.

While this report on its own doesn’t really have a whole lot backing it, we do have possible confirmation via an Xbox executive. Aaron Greenberg, Vice President of Xbox Games Marketing, teased that he was excited for the next few days, expecting it to be a “fun week.”

The rumored Developer_Direct showcase is supposed to premiere on January 25, so while Greenberg may not be hinting at the show itself, he may instead be referring to its official announcement. Microsoft has yet to reveal anything regarding the show, after all, and announcing it this week should create enough buzz for it to premiere to a wider audience.

If we hear any more information regarding this rumored show, we’ll let you know.

The Last of Us HBO: Tendrils Replacing Spores for More Realism

With the premiere less than a week away, The Last of Us HBO TV series’ showrunner Craig Mazin has explained that the decision to replace Cordyceps spores with tendrils was taken as a part of a more realistic approach to the transmission of the franchise’s infamous zombie pathogen. Mazin holds that choosing tendrils as the Cordyceps vector “honors the game” while remaining compatible with fungus biology, and is actually “a bit scarier.”

Series creator Neil Druckmann and showrunner Craig Mazin (of Chernobyl fame) have recently been stressing the show’s loyalty to the original The Last of Us title, and explaining the rationale behind some of the changes it has made from the game. The most prominent of these has been the decision to replace Cordyceps spores with an interconnected network of tendrils. While tendrils were actually part of the game at one point during development, Mazin understands the frustration of longtime fans of the franchise, and comprehensively explains how the tendrils are designed to authentically enhance the realism and the scare factor of the pathogen:

In the game, [the spores] make a lot of sense. The spores tend to occupy a small space, so the characters come across an area where they say “Uh oh… there are spores here – let’s put on our masks.” In reality, if the fungus did spread that way through spores, everybody would be wearing masks all the time, and […] everybody would be infected within a few hours. […] So we wanted to come up with a different vector of infection […] and again, talking to scientists, we came up with a slightly different method that honors the game, feels very similar to the game in really important ways: “biting” matters. But it’s not incompatible with the way fungi actually work. And in truth, I think, we thought it was actually a bit scarier.

The Last of Us HBO TV series premieres this Sunday on January 15.

Star Wars Jedi: Survivor ESRB Rating and Summary Saber Out

With Respawn Entertainment’s Star Wars Jedi: Survivor set to hit consoles and PC this March, it looks like more details about the game are being released, and one of these is the official Star Wars Jedi: Survivor ESRB rating (and summary).

As one might expect from a Star Wars title, this one doesn’t breach past the “T” for Teen rating, which is understandable given the Star Wars license and Disney. The ESRB (Entertainment Software Ratings Board) has tagged this as T for some crude language.

Star Wars Jedi: Survivor ESRB Rating and Summary:

Rating: T for Teen

Rating Summary:

This is an action-adventure game in which players assume the role of an outlaw Jedi on the run from the galactic Empire. From a third-person perspective, players explore alien planets while using their Jedi powers to traverse environments and battle enemies in melee-style combat. Players use lightsabers to slash and break apart alien creatures, droids, and humanoid enemies. Combat is fast paced, with cries of pain, impact sounds, and large explosions. Some sequences depict characters getting impaled through the chest. The words “a*s” and “bastard” are heard in the game.

Star Wars Jedi: Survivor will be available on March 17, 2023 for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S.

Stay tuned here on MP1st for more Jedi: Survivor news.

A Playable Version of Turtle Rock Studios’ Left 4 Dead Alpha Prototype Has Leaked

A huge leak occurred relating to Left 4 Dead, the classic co-op zombie shooter. A playable build of Left 4 Dead’s alpha prototype has somehow leaked, giving us a glimpse at what the game looked like in its very early stages.

The leak was publicized by Tyler McVicker, who posted gameplay footage over some commentary of the game. It’s worth noting that despite having access to the leak, Tyler refuses to share the source of this prototype.

The Left 4 Dead prototype is actually a lot simpler than you think. In fact, the prototype isn’t a full game at all, but rather a map made in a game that ran on the same engine as Counter-Strike: Condition Zero. The map, aptly named Zombie City, had up to four players, who played as terrorists, run across the map in order to plant a bomb.

Instead of the usual fuse-defuse gameplay of Counter-Strike, however, planting the bomb actually made you win the level. The catch? You’d need to survive waves of endlessly spawning counterterrorists that only had melee attacks. Sound familiar?

As you can probably tell by the description of that map, Zombie City was likely the earliest prototype of Left 4 Dead as we know it today. The prototype would then be fully realized as Left 4 Dead and eventually get a sequel, Left 4 Dead 2. This map, which is likely two decades old at this point, now marks a significant point in video game history.

Tyler made a video discussing all this and more, which you can watch below:

Left 4 Dead’s an old game, but you can still play it right now via Steam and Xbox consoles (as long as you have a physical disc of the title).
