God of War Ragnarok Story Wasn’t Compromised, No Cinematics Changed Because of Pandemic

  by   Alex Co  
October 18, 2022 6:44 pm in News

While the COVID-19 pandemic is still here, it’s safe to say it wasn’t as bad as when it first struck back in 2020. Not only were day-to-day activities affected, but even game development too. For a project as big as God of War Ragnarok, some might think that certain stuff were changed due to the pandemic making things difficult. Thankfully, that doesn’t seem to be the case — at least for God of War Ragnarok’s story.

In a new video series showing gamers behind the scenes development of God of War Ragnarok, Santa Monica Studios kicked things off by not only showing us the game being filmed, but also a deeper look at how they shaped the game’s story amid the pandemic. In the video feature, Ariel Angelotti, Senior Producer at Santa Monica Studio, mentioned that the studio avoided compromising the game’s story that they were trying to tell as a result of the pandemic (and the limitations they had to deal with), and that there were no cinematics that changed as well. The studio had the same characters in the final game, though they just had to be a bit creative when they shot the content.

You can watch the entire thing below, and don’t worry, there are no spoilers in it.

God of War Ragnarok’s review embargo lifts this November 3, though media people that have the game early (which includes us here on MP1st), will be able to post a hands-on impressions preview on October 21.

Stay tuned for our review of GOW Ragnarok, as well as more coverage leading up to the game’s release on November 9.

The Sims 5 “Project Rene” Currently Under Development, Alpha Footage & Screenshots Revealed

  by   Salman Haider Zaidi  
5:11 pm in News

Maxis and EA have announced that The Sims 5, codenamed “Project Rene,” is currently under development at today’s Behind the Sims Summit event. Footage of the project in alpha stage was also showcased, featuring revamped creation tools and functionality.

Check out .gif we made out of the scant seconds of footage revealed during the show:

From the developers:

The game will stay true to what The Sims has always been while pushing to evolve how those Sims think and behave. It will reimagine The Sims with even more ways to play, tools to encourage creativity, and the ability to tell meaningful stories. With Project Rene, players will have the choice to play solo or collaborate with others, and will have the ability to play their game across supported devices.

“From the start, The Sims defined life simulation games and has continued to grow into an incredible platform for creativity and self-expression,” says Lyndsay Pearson, Vice President of Franchise Creative for The Sims. “Today marks the start of our journey over the next few years as we work on this next game and creative platform, currently titled Project Rene. We are building on the same foundation that has made The Sims compelling for generations of players and pushing the boundaries to create new experiences. We’ll have much more to share as we continue to progress on the game’s development and milestones along the way.”

Check out screenshots from the alpha footage shown at the event, featuring the game’s powerful creation and community tools:

The Sims 5/Project Rene will remain under development for at least “the next couple years,” and has no release window as of yet.

We’ll keep our readers updated with any further developments. In other news, The Sims 4 is now free-to-play on all platforms.

A Plague Tale Requiem – Can You Save the Herbalist?

  by   James Lara  
4:54 pm in guides

For the most part, A Plague Tale Requiem is a pretty straightforward game, guiding players on what to do, and how to do it. However, during Chapter 3 of the game, you’ll encounter a random Herbalist who is being held captive by two guards as they walk through a rat infested area. The game will task you with saving a Herbalist, though it doesn’t offer any insight as to how.

Note: If you’re worried if this is some major spoiler, worry not. The Herbalist is quite literally a throw away NPC that you encounter for a brief few seconds, meaning he plays no major role to the overall story. 

So, for those playing the game, the question here is: can you save the Herbalist in A Plague Tale Requiem?

If you fail at saving him, Lucas, the ally character who is with you will make mention that this couldn’t have been the only outcome, with the game’s objective switching to the next. Despite Lucas saying that there could have been a different outcome, the reality is, it’s the only one. The Herbalist is supposed to die as confirmed to us during our review process by Asobo Studio. No matter how hard you try to save him from the spot he is taken too, there isn’t enough light that sticks around permanently, nor does he attempt to run to a safer spot. He will always be eaten alive by the rats. 

Reason why I’m writing about this is that so, like me, you don’t spend an hour or two trying to save him. I am trying to save you time! Still, you may end up trying, and there is an exploit you can use to save him, but it has no bearing on the story and he’s non-interactable.  

To do this, all you have to do is rush towards the door him and the two soldiers come out of. You have to be quick about it, because you need to be within a certain range for your slingshot to hit the soldiers. If you are quick enough, you can attack the soldiers, and the herbalist will stop before they reach the door. The rats won’t go past this to kill him now. 

It’s a glitch mind you as you can’t go past this point and the doors are supposed to close up and lock, forcing you to take the alternative route to the left. There’s an invisible wall, though Hugo can walk past it. If you are lucky enough, you might get him to a spot just outside that wall with the fire lit nearby to protect him from the rats, but again, you can’t interact or do anything with him. Pointless in the end, but if it helps your conscious knowing you can unofficially save him, well that’s how you do it. 

Hopefully this guide has cleared up some of the few questions you may have had, and if you’re looking for more guides, be sure to check out our official A Plague Tale Requiem guide page. Well have more posted there throughout the day, so stay tuned!

If you haven’t checked the game out yet, go read our review of it right here.

A Plague Tale Requiem – New Game Plus Explained

  by   James Lara  
1:23 pm in guides

For those curious, A Plague Tale Requiem does indeed feature a new game plus mode! Here’s everything about it, from what it does, what you keep, to even what you get for beating it. Check out our handy A Plague Tale Requiem New Game Plus guide.

Does A Plague Tale Requiem Have New Game Plus?

Contrary to the first game, A Plague Tale Requiem does have a new game plus mode that is unlocked once you complete it on any difficulty level. 

What’s New in A Plague Tale Requiem New Game Plus, and What Do You Keep?

NG+ in A Plague Tale Requiem is similar to many other NG+ in other games. You get to keep all the collectible (codex) items you found on your first playthrough, as well as all the upgrades and skills you’ve unlocked. However, unlike a lot of other titles, this mode is locked to the new “ultimate difficulty” level, which is also unlocked after you complete the game for the first time. That means that you won’t be able to play on the lower difficulties (as far as we can tell). Hopefully that changes in a future update. 

With a new difficulty level, players will find a higher level of challenges with enemies that are smarter, and deal more damage. They can detect the players a lot more easily, and it only takes about two hits from them to die. Outside of that, we are unsure if the ultimate difficulty does anything else. 

What Do You Get For Beating New Game Plus in A Plague Tale Requiem?

If you’re hoping for some kind of grand reward outside of some achievements, you may be disappointed to know that the only thing you get is the Count’s crossbow, one of four unlockable cosmetics in the game for your crossbow. A bit lackluster if we’re honest, though does leave room for some potential DLC we suppose. 

There you have it, now you know everything there is about NG + in A Plague Tale Requiem. Hopefully this short guide has cleared up some of the few questions you may have had, and if you’re looking for more guides, be sure to check out our official A Plague Tale Requiem guide page. Well have more posted there throughout the day, so stay tuned!

If you haven’t bought the game yet, go check out our review where we state, “Overall, whether you played the original or not, you owe it to yourself to check out A Plague Tale: Requiem during this spooky season, and beyond.”

Crysis Remastered Trilogy Bundle Brings Crysis 2, Crysis 3 Remasters to Steam on Nov. 17

  by   Salman Haider Zaidi  
12:49 pm in News

Crytek has announced that the remasters of Crysis 2 and Crysis 3 will finally be coming to Steam as part of the Crysis Remastered Trilogy bundle launching November 17, along with a hefty 40% launch discount for the first week.

After the launch of Crysis Remastered back in 2020, Crytek proceeded to release remasters of Crysis 2 and Crysis 3 last year for both consoles and PC. While the Crysis Remastered Trilogy bundle as well as the individual remasters have been available since last fall on the Epic Games Store, only the original Crysis Remastered title was released on Steam.

The full Crysis Remastered Trilogy bundle is now coming to Steam on November 17 this year. While the standard price for the bundle is USD 49.99 / EUR 49.99, players will be able to purchase it at a 40% discount for the first week at USD 29.99 / EUR 29.99. For those who already own Crysis Remastered on Steam but never got to buy the other two titles, Crytek has expanded that launch discount to 55% as compensation.

In other Crysis news, a new Crysis title was revealed to be in development in January along with an eerie teaser.

Battlefield 2042 Persistent Servers Coming to BF Portal in Next Update, Will Be Exclusive to Battle Pass Owners

  by   Alex Co  
12:32 pm in News

For those playing Battlefield 2042’s Battlefield Portal, have you ever wanted to have persistent servers? If so, DICE has some good news for — provided you own the Battle Pass. In an announcement today, DICE has confirmed that Battlefield 2042 persistent servers will be coming to BF Portal in the next game update.

This feature will be part of the Battlefield 2042 game update 2.2, though there’s no firm release date for that just yet. To help players understand how it works, check out the FAQ below.

Battlefield 2042 Persistent Servers for BF Portal FAQ:

What is a Persistent Server?
Presently, if you host a server within Battlefield Portal, it only remains visible within the Server Browser for as long as players are active within it. Once the Server is empty, it shuts down and will no longer be visible within the Server Browser.

A Persistent Server means your Server remains visible within the Server Browser even without active players. This will enable communities to stay together across their favorite servers, without needing to wait for the Server Owner to come online and activate the Server.

Who has access to Persistent Servers?
Starting with Update 2.2, owners of the Premium Battle Pass can select a Persistent Server option when Hosting a Server.

How many Servers can you Host?
Premium Battle Pass owners can host 1 Server per account.

For how long will Persistent Servers remain visible?
Our intent for Persistent Servers is to help nurture active Communities while also making it easy to find active Servers to play on. This means that a Persistent Server will remain visible in the Server Browser for up to 7 days from any last player activity on the Server. We’re able to adjust this value if we see room to improve that experience.

What functionality comes with Persistent Servers?
Existing functionality for hosting a server within Battlefield Portal remains unchanged. That means when you host a Server you’ll still have access to:

  • Enabling Cross-Play
  • Allowing players to follow a Server
  • Setting a welcome and match message
  • Password protecting a Server
  • Admin features for the Host

Mind, this is just for Battlefield Portal, and won’t be available for those who play All-Out Warfare exclusively. Also, you’ll need to pony up the dough for the Battle Pass if you want to be able to take advantage of this. Still, at just $10 for the premium Battle Pass, it’s not a bad deal given EA has never given personal servers for free.

New Mobile RPG “Mortal Kombat: Onslaught” Announced, Launches 2023

  by   Salman Haider Zaidi  
10:44 am in News

Following the Mortal Kombat 30th anniversary event (MK30), NetherRealm Studios and Warner Bros. Games have announced Mortal Kombat: Onslaught, a new mobile RPG releasing in 2023. It will be the first mobile title in the series since 2015’s Mortal Kombat Mobile.

Mortal Kombat: Onslaught will introduce an all-new mobile-exclusive cinematic storyline, where players fight in real-time group battles using teams of fighters chosen from a vast roster of chracters. The game is set for a 2023 release date worldwide, with no gameplay or teasers revealed as of yet.

From Ed Boon, Mortal Kombat co-creator and NetherRealm Studios head:

We are pushing the boundaries of Mortal Kombat to allow players to experience the franchise in new ways, while still staying true to its core visceral nature. With Mortal Kombat: Onslaught, we reimagined Mortal Kombat into a strategic team-based collection RPG with fast-paced, group melee combat that both new and existing fans can enjoy.

Boon previously quashed hopes of a new NetherRealm Studios game announcement during the MK30 event, stating that the next game would be announced in “due time.”

We’ll keep our readers updated with any new Mortal Kombat: Onslaught news. In the meantime, check out the MK30 anniversary video as well as the re-releases of many Mortal Kombat films and animation in celebration of the event.
