Coop Shooter in the Post-Apocalyptic World

How does Remnant play? It is a coop shooter, where you can go on adventures with two others – or alone. Basically, you create your own version of the world and then invite players to complete missions together. Or you can jump into a friend’s game to help them.

  • Together, you fight against the Seed, including huge boss monsters
  • Tactics are important, as each type of enemy has its own weaknesses that you need to discover
  • Crafting plays an important role in improving your equipment
  • You choose character classes and can improve your hero based on equipment and through traits
  • There is no PvP

We have some tips and tricks for the game here for you.

When did Remnant launch? The release is today, August 20, but the game is already unlocked. You can start directly via Steam or get the game for PS4 or Xbox One in the respective store.

How is the shooter received? As soon as Remnant launched with little fanfare, the coop action game received a rating of 94 percent and “Very Positive” on Steam.

We also reported interesting gameplay in our hands-on report.

A Surprisingly Good Start – Steam Reviews Rave

What is well received? There are a number of things that players like:

  • The combination of story and grinding is well executed
  • Thanks to voice acting and cutscenes, Remnant creates an exciting atmosphere
  • The performance is very good. The shooter plays very smoothly
  • The fights feel very good. You have a good feeling with each weapon and it is fun to use them
  • The combination of the atmosphere from Hellgate: London and the fights from Dark Souls or The Surge is very well received and works
  • The difficulty level is high but never unfair
  • Crafting is fun and provides a motivation factor, as it allows you to improve your heroes well

What is not so well received? There are also a few criticisms of the game:

  • The randomness of the worlds is something some expected differently. The world basically always remains the same until you start a new one
  • Communication with other players is difficult, as there is no chat
  • The boss fights are often difficult only because of the additional monster spawns that occur repeatedly. The actual bosses are not intended to be a major challenge
  • Once you finish the game, everything repeats itself, especially if you do not start a new world

Overall, Remnant: From the Ashes is currently being received very well. However, one must of course wait and see how things develop over the coming days and weeks. The game just launched a few hours ago.

Apex Legends: Boss expresses that an employee insulted players

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time 2 minutes

In Apex Legends, the head of the studio, Vince Zampella, apologized for comments made by his employees on Reddit. The Project Lead referred to “assholes” and “freeloaders” – but Zampella explains that there were death threats against developers.

Why did the dispute escalate? Apex Legends released several skins for the “Iron Crown” event. However, they could only be obtained through loot boxes:

  • If you wanted all the skins and an extra bonus skin, it cost quite a bit – you ended up at around €190
  • Additionally, there was frustration that you could not purchase skins directly, but had to rely on luck.
apex-legends-tv-absage-titel-01

After several days of players venting about this, Respawn apologized for this decision and promised to make individual skins directly purchasable in the shop. However, the conflict escalated right after the apology:

  • Players took to Reddit to express their displeasure. They feared more influence from EA and said the skins in Apex Legends were too expensive – some Reddit users called the developers greedy.
  • Two developers then defended their position – this happened on Friday and over the weekend, outside of Respawn’s business hours.
Apex Legends Wattson surprised look better

Freeloaders, Assholes, Bastards

What were those flames? The Executive Producer, Drew McCoy, responded directly on Friday in several posts, some emotionally, using words in his argument that upset fans:

  • Freeloader – means something like beggar or freeloader
  • Dick – literally “penis”, in German one would say something like “bastard”
  • Ass-Hats – “assholes”

Essentially, Drew McCoy wanted to say: Guys, we messed up. We apologized. But it’s no reason to attack us like this now – give us the chance to do better in the future.

However, this message got lost in the uproar.

Now the topic was how someone from Respawn insulted the players.

Boss says there were death threats – still, the behavior is unacceptable

Here’s what the boss says now: The CEO of Respawn, Vince Zampella, is highly respected in the gaming industry and at EA. Many attribute the great success of Apex Legends to him because he works meticulously and Apex Legends was tested thoroughly before it went live.

He expressed himself in a tweet:

  • He says some employees crossed the line – that is not the way Respawn wants to present itself
  • He wants to apologize to all fans who feel attacked
  • He will always stand behind his team and support them when they stand up against “ugly” comments that include death threats or comments against relatives or friends
  • But one must lead by example – that did not happen last week
  • In the future, they want to do better and work towards an open, healthy relationship between the community and Respawn – that is important to everyone

14-year-old Twitch streamer cries as he tells mom about the good he has done

Patrick Freese Patrick Freese Reading time 2 minutes

In a 12-hour stream, this streamer raised over €5,000 for charity on Twitch.TV. He tearfully tells his mother about this milestone.

What kind of stream was it? The 14-year-old streamer “averageharry” started a charity stream on August 19. The broadcast lasted 12 hours straight. He played games like Minecraft, Fortnite and mini golf while raising donations for charity.

The collected money will be donated to Great Ormond Street Hospital. A children’s hospital in England. The big Fortnite streamer Dr Lupo has also successfully raised money for sick children.

His viewers were generous during the stream and donated a lot of money. When he shows his mother the current total shortly before the end of the stream, he has already collected £4,288.92. At the current exchange rate, that’s about €4,700.

Streamer Harry donation goal

So emotional shows the streamer: A clip is going viral in the gaming community that shows the streamer in tears. He proudly tells his mother in the video how much money he has raised. “Four thousand, two hundred and eighty,” he says, hugging his mother.

“Mom, there are still 5 minutes. I have collected 4,300,” he says, as tears of joy roll down his face.

This YouTuber was visibly moved when he learned about his influence on Final Fantasy VII.

What is special about it? His donation goal in the stream was £5,000, but the streamer thought he could never reach it. As Dexerto reports, averageharry explained that the £5,000 “wasn’t really a goal”.

“I just put this down to see how much money…” comments the streamer, as he is interrupted by a £1,000 donation. He was visibly touched by this large donation and struggled to find the right words.

GTA Online gives away 100,000 GTA$ in 40 seconds for this time trial

Patrick Freese Patrick Freese Reading time 2 minutes

In GTA Online the time trial Drainage Canal is active. The race is short and easy to win. Grab the 100,000 GTA dollars as a reward quickly now.

How to win the money? You can find the start of the current time trial on the open map of GTA Online. You do not need to start a race mode with other players, but drive alone from start to finish. Look for the purple stopwatch on the map; that’s the start.

The time for the race is tight. If you make it to the finish on time, you will receive 101,000 GTA dollars.

Which race is active? Currently, you will find the race “Drainage Canal”. You have 38.5 seconds to reach the finish line.

How to win “Drainage Canal” in GTA Online

The course of the track: This track is one of the easier time trials. After the start, you simply follow the canal. You don’t need to take any crazy shortcuts.

GTA Online Time Trial Canal Track

This is how the ride goes: After the start, you follow the track on the left side of the canal upwards. Try to steer as lightly as possible to lose little time.

GTA Online Time Trial Canal Jump

Just before the finish line, there is a jump that you should steer in such a way that you do not fly too far to the right but stay on the path.

Braking is not recommended at any point, as time is really tight.

Video guide: To give you an overview of the route and the small jump just before the finish line, we are embedding a video from GTA-Series for you here.

Can you repeat the race? Yes, you can race it as many times as you want. The 101,000 GTA dollars can only be obtained once per active time trial week.

Which vehicle should you take? Motorcycles are particularly suitable for the track. If you want, you can also use a car with rocket propulsion, like the Vigilante, to reach the finish in time.

In our attempt, we used the Tron bike “Shotaro”.

Once you have completed the race, you can find playing cards for this treasure hunt nearby.

Destiny 2 Shadowkeep: New endgame activity is known, lets you hunt nightmares

Tom Rothstein Tom Rothstein Reading time 3 minutes

In Destiny 2 there are fresh updates about Shadowkeep. A new endgame activity has been revealed, and the new Moon map has been unveiled.

Here’s where the info comes from: On yesterday’s Monday, the opening of the gamescom 2019 took place, during which several livestreams were held. Bungie was well represented:

Finishing Moves, Nightmare Hunt, Moon Map

This can be seen in the video: Initially, Bungie’s Game Director Ben Wommack and Community Manager DeeJ introduce the finishing moves. These are new Guardian abilities that allow you to smash enemies once they have little health left. Each Guardian class has its own finishing moves.

Once Shadowkeep launches on October 1, all Guardians are said to have access to the finishing moves, as revealed in the video.

destiny 2 artifact
Artifact Perks

In addition, a few artifact perks can be seen. The artifact provides seasonal, unlockable benefits under the Armor 2.0 system, such as these:

  • Bonus damage for all Arc melee attacks and bonus super energy on “finisher final blows”.
  • Overshield and reduced cooldown when activating Arc class abilities
  • And particularly interesting: A finishing move grants heavy ammunition to all team members, but consumes half of the super energy.

This is the new endgame activity: On the Moon map, there are several red symbols marking a fresh endgame activity in Shadowkeep. This is called “Nightmare Hunt: Servitude”:

nightmare hunt

It states that you must defeat the nightmare of Zydron, the Gate Lord, in one of these 3 Nightmare Hunts.

What we know about the “Nightmare Hunt”:

  • It is a cooperative activity
  • A fireteam of 1-3 players can play it
  • It rewards powerful gear (at level 1). Presumably, powerful gear will feature levels in the future.
  • The activity has various difficulty levels.

In Nightmare Hunt, you can select one of three “modes” that determine the difficulty:

nightmare destiny 2
  • Adept – Power level 860 is recommended
  • Hero – Power level 920 is recommended
  • Legend – Power level 950 is recommended

These tiers feature different modifiers. Additionally, for Adept and Hero, matchmaking is on, while for Legend, you must form a fireteam yourself.

Thus, Nightmare Hunt is expected to be an endgame activity that will present a challenge for all Guardians.

Regarding the nightmares you can hunt therein, it is known that Shadowkeep brings back many enemies from Destiny 1 in nightmare forms, such as Skolas, Omnigul, or Crota. Some nightmares can be seen in this gameplay trailer.

This is likely the new Moon map from: In the video above, snippets of the new Moon map are continuously visible. A user on reddit has already taken the effort to piece together the snippets and thus complete the map. With this result:

destiny 2 moon map

For comparison – this was the map of the Moon in Destiny 1:

New Strike: In addition, the name of a new strike on the Moon has been shown: The Scarlet Keep.

Can you play WoW Classic for free?

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 3 minutes

Soon World of Warcraft Classic will be launched. Those who have a lot of time or have already made arrangements can play the game “for free.”

In just under a week, it will be time, then World of Warcraft Classic will start and fulfill the fans’ long-standing dream of an Azeroth as it was nearly 15 years ago. However, some returning players or newcomers might not know how the payment for WoW Classic works or that they can pay for their subscription through the “normal” WoW.

No extra costs for WoW Classic, but you need an active subscription

What does WoW Classic cost? To be able to play World of Warcraft Classic, players do not need to purchase an additional game.

World of Warcraft, as the base game with many expansions, has long been free, you only pay the subscription each month – so 11 to 13 Euros, depending on the offer.

Buy WoW tokens and thus the subscription for gold

How can you play WoW Classic for free? You need an active subscription. However, you do not necessarily have to pay for it with money.

For a while now, there has been the principle of the “WoW Token” in World of Warcraft. Players can buy a WoW Token for real money and then sell it for gold in the game. Other players pay this gold and receive a WoW Token, which they can then exchange for 30 days of gameplay time.

So, if you have a lot of gold saved up, you can use this to save your account’s subscription fees. Since there is the same subscription for both the current WoW and WoW Classic, it is possible to finance the gameplay time in Classic through the WoW Token.

If you still have gold, you can use it: It will likely be particularly worthwhile for players who still have large amounts of gold from the time of Warlords of Draenor or Legion. Here, it was easy to acquire large amounts of gold that can now come into play.

This also works if you currently have no active gameplay time left. When you log into WoW and have enough gold, you will be asked if the gold from your account should be used to pay for gameplay time. This way, inactive players can also check if they have enough gold!

Still unsure about which professions you want to play in Classic? Our little guide will surely help!

What does a WoW Token cost? A single token currently costs between 180,000 and 200,000 gold pieces and is subject to daily fluctuations. The amount of gold is likely too much to be earned “on the side” by most players. Only those who are really active in the retail version of WoW are likely to earn such a sum each month.

Particularly successful players, however, also sell services, such as a particularly difficult dungeon run at a high “Mythic+” level. This way, one can earn a decent amount of gold.

World of Warcraft: The most famous representative of P2P games

Is it worth it? The answer to that is a clear “It depends.” If someone plans to play both versions of WoW in parallel, paying through the WoW Token could be quite successful. However, those who have little time or are not good at speculating with items from the auction house are likely to invest much more time and energy into the endeavor than it is ultimately worth. Then the 11 to 13 Euros per month might actually be the better investment.

How will you pay for your WoW subscription for Classic? Traditionally? Or do you spend your gold from the retail version of back then?

Magic: The Gathering Arena will be Epic-exclusive – but only partially

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

The Epic Games Store secures another exclusive title that will be interesting for card game fans. However, it’s not really exclusive.

In light of the upcoming Gamescom 2019, publishers and game developers are providing new information about their titles. One of them concerns Magic: The Gathering Arena (MTGA), one of the most eagerly anticipated card games of the near future. It has now been revealed that MTGA will be released on the Epic Games Store.

What restrictions are there? MTGA is not really exclusive, as the deal has a clear limitation. The Epic Games Store will only be the only “third-party” platform for the card game on PC. Those who do not wish to use the Epic Games Store can still download the game from the official Magic site and won’t need to go through the launcher.

The deal simply means that MTGA will not be released on other PC platforms like Steam.

When will MTGA be released? However, no exact release date for the card game has been announced yet. The only timeframe given is “this winter,” which suggests early 2020. This date is likely also aimed at the end of the beta, as MTGA is currently still in open beta.

You should not click on a certain cat in MTGA…

A competitor for Hearthstone? In the scene of digital collectible card games, MTGA is considered the “next big thing” that could dethrone the competitor Hearthstone from Blizzard. Many Hearthstone players find the stagnation of the game terrible and are hoping to find a solid alternative soon. Hopes are pinned on MTGA.

Will you play Magic: The Gathering Arena via the “Epic Games” launcher? Or is that a reason for you to avoid the game?

The FIFA 20 gamescom trailer shows cool skills but disappoints

Tom Rothstein Tom Rothstein Reading time 2 minutes

In FIFA 20, a fresh trailer was shown at gamescom 2019. It features the story mode of Volta and cool skills.

This is the gamescom trailer: As part of the Opening Night of gamescom 2019, developers of FIFA 20 appeared to briefly talk about the biggest innovation: The Volta mode.

Afterward, a short trailer was presented, teasing the story mode in Volta.

We are embedding the trailer here – it is a recording uploaded by GameSpot:

Fine ball handling in the video

This is what you see in the video: The footage is an excerpt from a cutscene that you will see again in the Volta story mode of FIFA 20.

Two characters take a seat on a stage to watch a ball artist casually juggling with a ball, acrobatically swirling it around, revealing some pretty cool skills.

Meanwhile, one of the two spectators says: “Hey, how cool is that!” However, in the middle of the cutscene, the video ends and the Volta logo appears.

fifa 20 sancho volta

Cool, but more was expected: While the official gameplay trailer for Volta received overwhelmingly more upvotes than downvotes, this gamescom trailer has been accumulating thumbs down. Currently, nearly a third of the votes are negative ratings.

In the comments, many fans write that this looks pretty “nice”, the skills are intense, and the mode comes across as interesting, but they expected more for a gamescom presentation.

This trailer truly did not create a hype, as can be read on reddit. Compared to gamescom trailers from previous years, this one was boring. Here you can see the gamescom trailer for FIFA 19, which elaborately introduced the three heroes of the story mode.

In contrast, the announcement that FIFA 20 has new Bundesliga licenses was received much better yesterday.

What does the Volta story mode actually offer?

This is the Volta story: Volta brings virtual football back to the streets. On small fields, you compete in 3v3, 4v4, or 5v5 matches.

As a kind of introduction to the Volta world, the story mode can be seen, in which you create your own avatar and learn the basics of Volta.

You will not be a professional footballer like Alex Hunter in The Journey, but a street football player.

You can find all information about the Volta story mode in FIFA 20 here – duration, trailer, info.

It remains to be seen whether this is the only trailer that EA Sports shows for FIFA 20 during gamescom. More may come.

New Fortnite update arrives today on 20.08. – What’s included?

Robert Albrecht Robert Albrecht Reading time 3 minutes

Today, on Tuesday, August 20th, you will be prompted to download a new patch for Fortnite on all platforms (PC/Mac, Xbox One, PS4, Switch, iOS, Android). What will be included and what about maintenance? We have the information!

What is happening today in Fortnite? Since the beginning of Season 10, it seems that Epic has reserved Tuesdays for new patches and maintenance work. Last week, the new version 10.10 was supposed to go live on Tuesday, but it had to be postponed due to issues. Instead, there were many discussions about a dog.

Today, you will be prompted to download a patch that will not change the game version 10.10, but is supposed to offer new content. The twist: You won’t have to endure any maintenance.

Update: The patch is now available. We show you the new Rifts and unstable consumables

Content Patch 10.10 in Fortnite – When and How Big?

When does the new patch come? It is expected to be around 2:00 PM German time, possibly a few minutes earlier or later. Then you will be prompted to download a patch. There will be no downtime, so you can immediately jump back in after the download.

How large will the update be? If Epic is not planning any massive features that are still unknown, the download size will be similar to previous content updates and not larger than a few hundred megabytes.

Fortnite Patch 10.10 Title

What’s included in the Fortnite Update 10.10?

Here’s what’s new in the Battle Royale mode: According to the in-game message, players can look forward to a new item, the Rifts. The functionality is already clear. Once activated, items will be thrown from the Rift at your enemy.

Fortnite Rifts

These items will likely cause damage to your opponents depending on their size. Which objects can come from these Rifts is still unknown, but leaks are already predicting dinosaurs, police cars, and other crazy stuff:

https://twitter.com/iFireMonkey/status/1162782874027941890?s=20

In addition, discussions about the large battle mechs are ongoing. After all, you can also decimate your own enemies blindly with a mech. Will Epic finally make adjustments here? Perhaps the new item could serve as a counter for the mech. It is certain that the usual small bug fixes will come to stabilize the player experience.

Fortnite Western Outfits

What’s included in the update for Save the World mode: According to the developer roadmap for August, only a few new features will be added today:

  • The rocket launcher Sixshooter
  • Cloaked Star will be driving the van this week

What do you think of the update and the new Rifts? What tactics might there be for it?

MMORPG ArcheAge Unchained will be Buy2Play, refraining from Pay2Win

Alexander Leitsch Alexander Leitsch Reading time 2 minutes

The countdown to the MMORPG ArcheAge has expired and the cat is out of the bag. ArcheAge Unchained is the new product and it does not require a subscription.

What happened? On August 19 at 7:40 PM, Gamigo’s countdown for a new project ended. We were already speculating about an ArcheAge 2.0, what has come out is something similar.

What is ArcheAge Unchained? The new MMORPG ArcheAge Unchained is basically the same game, but with adjusted rules. It will be Buy2Play and must thus be purchased only once.

The version will not have a subscription system, thus removing an important aspect of the current Pay2Win problem of the MMO.

In return, there should be a season pass that will include special rewards. However, there should be no gameplay advantages.

The new publisher Gamigo promises that the system should be fair.

Both versions will receive updates

How do the two ArcheAge versions differ? According to the official FAQ about Unchained, both games are scheduled to receive the same major content update in autumn.

There seem to be no differences in terms of pure content. However, there are very clear adjustments in areas such as housing or work points.

archeage_mahlstrom-title-01

This way, all players will receive the same number of work points and all are capped at 5,000. Housing is also available to all players. This is different so far.

Subscribers of the first game receive double the number of work points, have an increased cap, and exclusive access to their own residences.

Why was the actual game not changed? The developers originally wanted to make the changes to the monetization in ArcheAge itself.

There were some adjustments already with the new patch Haram, but a complete overhaul was not possible. Thus, they are now planning with two versions of the game that differ only in the business model.

When will ArcheAge Unchained be released and how much will it cost? The developers have not yet announced a specific release date. They are also keeping quiet about the costs in the FAQ.

However, there is a chance that we will learn more during the gamescom.

What do you think of the idea of a new ArcheAge without Pay2Win? Will you take another look at the MMORPG? In addition to ArcheAge, there are also other online games at gamescom 2019:

Destiny 2 shows first trailer for Season 8 – The Undying come

Tom Rothstein Tom Rothstein Reading time 2 minutes

In Destiny 2 a new gamescom trailer has been released. This showcases the new threat that awakens in Season 8: The Vex – the Undying.

This is the new trailer: At the beginning of gamescom 2019, Bungie delivers juicy trailers for Shadowkeep. After a gameplay trailer has already been released, a cinematic story trailer has now been revealed.

The story trailer teases Season 8, which is called “Season of the Undying.” In German, it is translated as “Saison der Unvergänglichen.”

We embed the trailer here in German:

Here’s what it’s about: According to the video description, the gates are open. The Vex are coming. The Garden of Salvation marks only the beginning.

The Garden of Salvation is known to be the name of the Shadowkeep raid. It is said to draw you back into the Black Garden.

Here’s what you can see in the story trailer for the Season of the Undying

You can see this in the trailer: At the beginning, we see massive Vex installations. Then a little Vex milk swirls around, which disappears into a Vex body. This likely shows how the Vex are formed. Because after the milk enters the body, the eye begins to glow red.

According to the narrator’s voice, the Vex will do everything to protect the Black Garden.

When does the Season of the Undying start? According to the trailer, Season 8 begins on October 1 with Shadowkeep, but according to the video description, the seasonal content starts on October 5, 2019 – when exactly the Undying break upon us remains to be seen.

The special thing about the trailer: Anyone who has been following Destiny for years will recognize some scenes from this trailer. The cinematic of the awakening of the Vex was partially shown years ago in a ViDoc for Destiny 1. It had been assumed that this should show a Vex expansion that was scrapped in favor of the Destiny 2 reboot.

We just searched through our old articles and found the article about the scrapped Vex Void DLC, which featured these scenes. A leaked Destiny roadmap showed that after “The Taken King,” a Vex DLC called Vex Void was planned.

Now it shows once again that Bungie throws nothing away.

The trailer is still very well received. The graphics are said to be outstanding, it is read in the comments, and that Bungie is currently surpassing itself since they parted ways with Activision.

What is said about the characters? The four playable characters are introduced again individually, and their special abilities are showcased. Here is an overview:

  • Moze is the Gunner. She has numerous weapons to choose from and can almost shoot anything she finds. Her highlight is a giant mech that causes even more destruction.
  • Zane Flynt is the loner of the group. He can create holograms of himself to distract enemies. Additionally, he has a shooting drone and can deploy a shield that protects himself and his teammates.
  • Amara can unleash numerous impulses that can knock out enemies one after another. She can also immobilize enemies on the spot and force them to surrender.
  • FL4K is the character for all animal lovers, even if his pets are not entirely normal. His pets relentlessly attack enemies and can even shoot. Furthermore, FL4K can also become invisible and surprise enemies.

Generally, you can strengthen your character with a skill tree and learn new abilities.

Here’s how you can modify your character: Just like the characters appear in the trailers, you don’t have to run around. You can put crazy heads on them or generally change their style. The modifications seem nearly endless.

These weapons were showcased: A highlight of Borderlands 3 are the crazy weapons, which seem particularly extravagant this time.

There are guns that can freeze or burn enemies. Additionally, there are weapons that can shoot around corners and directly target objectives.

Especially eye-catching are the weapons with legs. A small army of weapons can run around by themselves and take down all enemies.

Watch Dogs Legion: New trailer shows strong heroes that can fall dead

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time 3 minutes

During the Google Connect for Stadia, a new official gameplay trailer for Watch Dogs Legion (PS4, Xbox One, Stadia, PC) was shown. The highlight from the clip of Ubisoft’s new game was some pretty broken heroes that you can recruit into your team when the release comes in March 2020.

This is the special gag of Watch Dogs Legion: In the new action game from Ubisoft, you will be able to recruit every resident of the city of London. This can be up to 9 million people, as Ubisoft states.

In trailers, Ubisoft tries to make it appear as if all characters are unique, a bit eccentric, and offer something special. They are supposed to affect the actual game.

In the new gameplay trailer that Google showed at Stadia Connect, 3 of these people were introduced that you can play as, and they have some quirky abilities or combinations of pros and cons.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Je1HzoAEU1E

Heroes with Quirky Abilities and Personalities

These were the heroes in the video:

Victor Lysenko is a Russian with apparently a mild alcohol problem. The advantage: when he is drunk, he has 50% resistance to damage. Luck is indeed with the drunk. Cheers.

Watch-Dogs-Legion-Victor
A bit clichéd, but oh well.

Sue Taylor is a lawyer. If you have her on your team, there is a 25% chance that someone will be released from prison. She seems to grant a passive bonus.

Heroes go to prison for example if they prefer to give up rather than die. There is no shame in that, says the cheerful voice in the trailer.

Watch-Dogs-Sue
It seems to be a passive bonus that gets you out.

Alan Murphy looks like a great hero. However, he hasn’t visited a doctor in 25 years. The spry retiree deals 100% more damage with rifles but can also drop dead at any time. And then he is gone – Watch Dogs Legion features permadeath.

In the trailer, it is noticeable that Murphy shoots like a madman but moves rather slowly. This could be another disadvantage when recruiting older residents of London – as already noted in the grandma’s gameplay.

Watch-Dogs-Legion-Alan

What else can be seen in the trailer? There are still a variety of passersby with interesting abilities that you could recruit into your team or not.

There are some very eccentric characters to be seen, from street fighters to punks to ninjas. In addition, Ubisoft promises that you can also customize your team.

When is the release? Watch Dogs Legion is set to be released on March 6, 2020, for PS4, Xbox One, PC, and also Google Stadia.

Watch Dogs 3 is set to offer multiplayer.

MMORPG ESO comes to Stadia – Runs well on even bad PCs

Patrick Freese Patrick Freese Reading time 2 minutes

Good news for all MMORPG fans. Elder Scrolls Online can be played with Google Stadia. This allows you to play the online role-playing game even on older PCs, tablets, TVs, or smartphones, whenever you like.

What has been announced? During the Stadia Connect on August 19, several new games were presented in the livestream that can be played via Google’s cloud service Stadia.

Among them is the popular MMORPG Elder Scrolls Online. For you, this means that you do not need a powerful computer or a current console to play the game. It works smoothly via Stadia, as the powerful servers are hosted by Google and take on a large part of the computational work.

With this announcement, Google is taking an important step, as it has been shown that ESO is among the top MMORPGs searched for on Google in Germany. The interest in the title is therefore great. In addition to PC, Mac, PS4, and Xbox One, ESO will also be available on Google Stadia.

It is unclear when ESO will be released for Stadia. No release date has been provided so far.

Why MacOS users should be excited: This release could be particularly interesting for Mac users. Often, Mac devices are equipped with weak graphics cards that prevent players from playing certain titles. With Stadia, new options are opening up.

The trailer: In the following video, you can see the official trailer that was also shown during the Stadia stream.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kkxqc-WV1UI

What is currently happening in ESO? Since its release, many expansions for ESO have already been released, filling the MMORPG with a lot of content.

Recently, the highly anticipated DLC “Scalebreaker” with two new dungeons was released on PC. Console players will have to wait a few more days to play this DLC.

With Update 23, ESO also added quality-of-life features, such as improved crafting.

Which games are coming to Stadia? As early as June, Google released a list of games that will be available at launch on Stadia. Among them is also Destiny 2. These games will also be available for you at the launch of Google Stadia on the streaming service.

Red Dead Redemption 2 for PC and Stadia – Rumor is refuted for now

Micha Deckert Micha Deckert Reading time 3 minutes

Again, there are rumors surrounding a PC release of Red Dead Redemption 2. Allegedly, it’s once again about Stadia, Google’s gaming platform. The rumors predict that a release for Google Stadia and possibly for PC will be announced as early as this coming Monday, just before the opening of gamescom 2019.

What is this rumor about? Players are eagerly waiting for the cowboy adventure Red Dead Redemption 2 to be announced for PC. The title was already released for consoles PS4 and Xbox One on October 26, 2018. Since then, there have been rumors that Rockstar is also planning a PC port – but none has been announced.

According to a rumor, Rockstar might soon spill the beans. Allegedly, a PC release could be announced tomorrow, on August 19, during the Stadia Connect.

During the presentation, Google will present further details about their gaming platform Stadia on Monday at 7 PM – this happens just before the opening of gamescom 2019.

Red-Dead-Redemption-Fight

Where does this rumor come from? A Reddit user has connected existing hints in a post. The user has drawn his conclusions with the help of various articles from US media, as well as with information from alleged insiders.

However, there are also points that seem less conclusive, such as that Red Dead Redemption 2 is supposed to come exclusively to the Epic Games Store.

What speaks in favor? Even before the release of Red Dead Redemption 2 on consoles, there were always rumors about a PC release:

Recently, there were also possible hints regarding Red Dead Redemption 2 with Google’s Stadia. At the Game Developers Conference last March, various images with icons indicating upcoming games were shown during a presentation. One of these images featured elements that can clearly be associated with cowboys.

Recently, Rockstar’s logo was seen in a livestream on Google’s Stadia. In the presentation, 28 games were presented that will be available at the launch of the service. The logos of Rockstar, Capcom, and Electronic Arts were also visible. They were marked with an asterisk, indicating that these publishers could release their content at their discretion.

Release could be late 2019

What about the PC? The Reddit user speculates that if RockStar is already porting “Red Dead Redemption 2” with high-resolution textures for Stadia, it would only make sense to announce a PC release as well.

According to an insider, Rockstar is supposedly planning this for the release window in Fall 2019, i.e., between October and December.

What has improved in Ghost War after Wildlands?

The developers at Ubisoft have come up with a few exciting improvements to make Ghost War more interesting:

A bit of Battle Royale in Ghost War

Ubisoft writes on the official website that they learned a lot from Wildlands. Therefore, the Elimination mode now uses a battle royale feature, where the combat zone of the map continuously shrinks.

The shrinking zone appears towards the end of the game to entice the last players into battle. Players outside the zone will take damage, and the zone will close in on a random location, as in battle royale games.

Further improvements and features

Additionally, the developers adjusted the cooldown times in PvP.

Players can also drop items on the map for others to pick up. This will add more excitement and improve the quality of the matches. The following features are also included:

  • There will be dedicated servers
  • Your experience points, ranks in specializations, and equipment level as well as gear, weapons, and other items will be shared between PvP and PvE. There are very few exclusive exceptions.
  • In PvP, weapons have no gear level – The weapons have a special damage calculation for PvP
  • There will be a reporting system to report toxic players or cheaters
  • In PvP milestones, players can collect special PvP rewards
  • In the first year, Ghost War will receive more classes, maps, and modes
