Welcome to Redfall Trailer Gives an Introduction on What to Expect

  by   Alex Co  
11:16 am in News

If you’re not familiar with Arkane Studios’ upcoming Redfall, then let us remedy that for you with the “Welcome to Redfall” trailer that gives players an introduction on what to expect from the vampire-hunting shooter game.

Redfall is an open world, story-driven shooter that gives players the option to go it alone or play with up to three other friends as they unravel the mysterious appearance of Vampires on the island town of Redfall, Massachusetts. With a diverse team of heroes to choose from, players can collect an arsenal of specialized weaponry and customize their character with unique abilities and upgrades as they take back Redfall. 

Check out the game’s official description and features (via Steam):

Slay Alone or Squad Up

Redfall blends single- and multiplayer options seamlessly, allowing the player to venture into the darkness alone or to squad-up for up to four player co-op. Teammates can try different hero loadouts and combine their strengths to find creative solutions to the vampire apocalypse. You will collect an arsenal of specialized weaponry and customize your character with unique upgrades and abilities to suit your playstyle for guns blazing, stealth combat, and everything in-between.

Unconventional Heroes vs. the NIght

Created by science experiments gone wrong and gifted with psychic abilities, Redfall’s vampires will challenge you and your squad to get creative. You will choose from a team of diverse heroes – each with their own character-specific abilities – to overcome the vampire legion and their brood of maniacal followers.

  • DEVINDER CROUSLEY: A cryptozoologist and aspiring inventor. Armed with weapons of his own creation, he’s on a mission to prove himself.
  • LAYLA ELLISON: A biomedical engineering student who interned at a research facility, where something went very wrong, leaving her with intense telekinetic abilities.
  • REMI DE LA ROSA: A brilliant combat engineer who has spent her life on the frontlines. With the help of her robot cohort, Bribón, she’s determined to help rescue Redfall’s survivors.
  • JACOB BOYER: An ex-military sharpshooter turned private contractor. Strange happenings on Redfall have left Jacob with a mysterious vampiric eye and a spectral raven that’s never far from his side.

The Open World of Redfall

Redfall is a true Arkane experience set in a rich world that blends the familiar with the extraordinary. Redfall’s open world is handcrafted by the master level designers behind Prey’s Talos I space station and Dishonored’s Dunwall. From the town’s once-bustling downtown and the haunted forest to the decimated seaside boardwalk and beyond, you will fight through cultist outposts and supernatural psychic spaces as you piece together Redfall’s many mysteries.
 
Redfall shoots its way out onto Xbox Series X|S and PC sometime in 2023. Check out the latest gameplay footage released right here.

God of War Ragnarok Not Delayed, No Announcement Planned for Tomorrow Says Cory Barlog

  by   Alex Co  
7:54 pm in News

With Sony seemingly quiet in terms of any announcement regarding God of War Ragnarok, some might assume that it won’t be released this year, and that the game is being delayed.

Well, it seems that’s not the case! Over on Twitter, God of War 2018 game director, and now God of War Ragnarok Producer Cory Barlog confirmed to a fan that the game is not getting delayed.

Not only did Barlog refute that, but he also shot down rumors circulating online that an event or announcement is planned for tomorrow regarding the game.

Barlog also asked fans to be patient, and that “things” will be shared at the earliest possible moment.

There you go! God of War Ragnarok is NOT getting delayed, though we still don’t have a firm release date or window yet. The latest news on that surfaced earlier this month wherein a rumor mentioned that Ragnarok is due for release sometime in November.

Hopefully, a release date is shared soon, as I’m sure a lot of gamers are eagerly awaiting when we’ll be able to play Kratos and boy’s latest adventure.

  by   Alex Co  
5:46 pm in News

Studio MDHR has rolled out Cuphead update 1.03 on all platforms, and this is in preparation for the game’s “The Delicious Last Course” DLC that’s set to be released tomorrow, June 30! Read on for what’s new in the official Cuphead June 29 patch notes.

Cuphead Update 1.03 Patch Notes | Cuphead Update 1.3.2 Patch Notes | Cuphead June 29 Patch Notes:

Here’s Studio MDHR’s announcement regarding the title update:

Well hello there!

It’s surreal to be able to say this, but the time is here at last…The Delicious Last Course expansion launches tomorrow. We cannot wait for the wonderful Cuphead community on Steam to set sail for this new adventure, experience the story of brand new playable character Ms. Chalice, and take on some of the biggest and wildest boss battles we’ve ever created!

In preparation for tomorrow, we have released a small but important update which contains some necessary code adjustments to allow the base game to function with the DLC on launch day. However, keen players will also notice a small but highly requested quality of life improvement — the ability to swap your weapon loadout from the “Retry” screen of a boss battle instead of having to back out to the map to do so!

As we look back on the road to release, we can’t thank everyone enough for their kindness, patience, and continued support. Now, there’s nothing left to do but prepare your appetite…for adventure!!

If you didn’t hear that Cuphead would be getting DLC, here’s what Studio MDHR has to say about the expansion:

Another helping of classic Cuphead action awaits you in Cuphead – The Delicious Last Course! Brothers Cuphead and Mugman are joined by the clever, adventurous Ms. Chalice for a rollicking adventure on a previously undiscovered Inkwell Isle! With the aid of new weapons, magical charms, and Ms. Chalice’s unique abilities, players will take on a new cast of fearsome, larger than life bosses to assist the jolly Chef Saltbaker in Cuphead’s final challenging quest! For all those with an appetite for adventure, be ready to set sail for D.L.C. Isle when The Delicious Last Course launches on June 30, 2022.

KEY FEATURES

  • Featuring Ms. Chalice as a brand new playable character with a modified moveset and new abilities. Once acquired, Ms. Chalice is fully playable through the DLC and the original Cuphead adventure!
  • Traverse a brand new Inkwell Isle and wallop the most wacky and monstrous bosses Cuphead has faced yet!
  • Find new weapons and charms to aid you in overcoming brand new challenges and setting new records on old bosses!
  • Help Chef Saltbaker on a brand new adventure to uncover the mystery of Legendary Chalice’s secret quest!

If there are other gameplay changes in this patch that’s spotted, we’ll be sure to update the post about it.

Indie Dev Bit Planet Gives Us Our First Look at PSVR2 Headset and Controllers Out in the Wild

  by   Alex Co  
3:34 pm in News

While Sony has given us our first official look at the PlayStation VR2 a few months ago, there’s still quite nothing like seeing unreleased item shots out into the wild. Well, that’s exactly what we have now, as an indie dev has shared the first look at what seems to be a PSVR2 unit (headset and controllers, and cables) lying on a seat.

The indie dev who shared the PSVR2 headset and controller pics was none other than Bit Planet Games (Ultrawings, The Battle of Sol), who even asked people what game is coming to PlayStation VR2.

https://twitter.com/bitplanetgames/status/1542192292110417921?s=21&t=nCAfrnNsgr65hFxYg30XEA

Mind, we’re not sure whether Sony is aware of this photo’s existence, and if the company will ask Bit Planet to take it down. If so, we backed it up:

Image

In case you’re not sold on the PSVR2 just yet, here’s the official product features straight from Sony!

  • Visual Fidelity: For a high-fidelity visual experience, PS VR2 offers 4K HDR, 110-degree field of view, and foveated rendering. With an OLED display, players can expect a display resolution of 2000×2040 per eye and smooth frame rates of 90/120Hz.
  • Headset-based Controller Tracking: With inside-out tracking, PS VR2 tracks you and your controller through integrated cameras embedded in the VR headset. Your movements and the direction you look at are reflected in-game without the need for an external camera.
  • New Sensory Features: PS VR2 Sense Technology combines eye tracking, headset feedback, 3D Audio, and the innovative PS VR2 Sense controller to create an incredibly deep feeling of immersion. Headset feedback is a new sensory feature that amplifies the sensations of in-game actions from the player. It’s created by a single built-in motor with vibrations that add an intelligent tactile element, bringing players closer to the gameplay experience. For example, gamers can feel a character’s elevated pulse during tense moments, the rush of objects passing close to the character’s head, or the thrust of a vehicle as the character speeds forward. Additionally, PS5’s Tempest 3D AudioTech makes sounds in the player’s surroundings come alive, adding to this new level of immersion.
  • Eye Tracking: With eye tracking, PS VR2 detects the motion of your eyes, so a simple look in a specific direction can create an additional input for the game character. This allows players to interact more intuitively in new and lifelike ways, allowing for a heightened emotional response and enhanced expression that provide a new level of realism in gaming. 
For more on the tech specs, head on here.

The PlayStation VR2 has no confirmed release date as of yet, but once we know it, we’ll be sure to let our readers know.

Spellbreak Dev Proletariat Set to Be Acquired by Blizzard to Help With World of Warcraft Development

  by   Alex Co  
2:32 pm in News

Just yesterday, Spellbreak developer Proletariat announced that they are closing the game’s servers in “early 2023,” which didn’t surprise anyone given how the studio pretty much abandoned the game since last year. Well, it seems there’s a reason for the server shutdown, as Proletariat is being eyed by Blizzard to be acquired!

Under the deal, Proletariat will become part of Blizzard, and the 100-man studio will be tasked to develop World of Warcraft, which includes the Dragonflight expansion that’s due out later this year.

Terms of the deal has not been made public, but if this pushes through (and I don’t see why it wouldn’t), this will be Blizzard Entertainment’s biggest acquisition in recent memory. This will also mark the second studio Blizzard has folded into its own, as just last year, Activision Vicarious Visions has been absorbed by Blizzard in order to work on the Diablo franchise.

While this sucks to hear for Spellbreak players, those are the breaks. At least this way, you can bet that whatever project the studio works on will be supported for more than a year.
