League of Legends: Pyke is the new champion in LoL, but not a ray

Patrick Freese Patrick Freese Reading time 2 minutes

League of Legends (LoL) is getting a new champion. And Pyke doesn’t look like a ray, even though everyone expected that.

A few weeks ago, the developers of the MOBA League of Legends announced that a new supporter would join the game. This one should be rather dark and intervene strongly as a supporter. Now Pyke, the Blood Harbor Ripper, has been introduced in the video.

Who is Pyke?

In the trailer, we mainly learn about Pyke’s story. He is disappointed with his crew, who stood by while Pyke sank into the depths of the sea. “In his eyes, the entire Bilgewasser is guilty,” it says in the description.

Is Pyke already known in the lore? Reddit user KingR10 believes that Pyke was already mentioned in the lore of Miss Fortune. It says there

In the following years, stories were told all over the islands about Miss Fortune, each more imaginative than the last. She stole the Syren from a captain who had to learn the hard way that one should keep their fingers to themselves, drowned the leader of the Silkblade Corsairs in a barrel of her own rum, and dragged the mad harlot killer from his cave in the belly of a half-dismembered leviathan in the Slaughter Dock.

This story might be about Pyke or inspired the team to create the new champion.

Pyke – These are his abilities

You’re wondering what abilities Pyke has? A new video provides a closer look at Pyke:

  • Passive: Gift of the Drowned One
    • When Pyke is not seen by enemies, he quickly restores a part of the health he recently lost to enemy champions.
  • Q: Bone Skewer
    • Basic Click: Pyke skewers all enemies in front of him and significantly slows them down. If he impales a champion, 50 % of the cooldown of Bone Skewer is refunded.
    • Hold: Pyke readies his harpoon and throws it. The first enemy hit is impaled, and Pyke pulls them a short distance towards him.
  • W: Phantom Undertow
    • Pyke dives into spectral waters, camouflaging himself and greatly increasing his movement speed, which gradually decreases over the next few seconds.
    • Camouflage hides Pyke from his enemies as long as they remain outside his immediate vicinity. Attacks and abilities immediately end the camouflage.
  • E: Phantom Pull
    • Pyke leaps and leaves a drowned phantom behind. After a short delay, the phantom returns to Pyke. Enemies hit by the phantom take damage and are stunned.
  • R: Death from Below
    • Pyke strikes in an X-shaped area, teleporting to champions and executing all those whose health is below a certain threshold. Enemies in the X who are not executed take damage equal to that threshold.
    • If an enemy champion in the X is killed, the last assisting ally also receives the full gold amount and the kill credit. Additionally, Pyke can use Death from Below again immediately for a short time.

But not a ray – what a pity

Since the announcement of the new dark support, players have been searching for clues. One theory led to the conclusion that the new hero is a ray. This was substantiated by the teaser image and small shadows from artworks of other champions. Why fans believed in a ray, we show you here in detail

Neverwinter becomes a horror MMORPG with Ravenloft

Andreas Bertits Andreas Bertits Reading time 2 minutes

The Cryptic Studios have now announced “Ravenloft,” the latest module for the MMORPG Neverwinter. The addon strongly resembles horror. A sub-genre that only a few MMORPGs cater to. Release is on June 26 for PC. Neverwinter players on PS4 and Xbox One will have to wait.

Neverwinter Ravenloft 1

Ravenloft may ring a bell for some fans of the D&D Pen & Paper RPGs. It is a classic campaign world. There, pure horror reigns in the form of vampires, undead, and werewolves. The adventures will take you into this world, as a bridge between the worlds has opened.

It looks like Neverwinter is getting some classic horror elements. The selection for MMORPGs is quite limited.

Pokémon GO Fest 2018 will bring Qurtel and new special research

Patrick Freese Patrick Freese Reading time 3 minutes

The Pokémon GO Fest 2018 brings new special research tasks and at least one regional Pokémon. Find out what to expect here.

Niantic announced the events for summer 2018. This includes the GO Fest in Chicago, which will once again feature a regional Pokémon for attendees. At last year’s event, Shuckle appeared in Chicago; this year, Qurtel, which is typically found only in India or South Asia, is expected. An image for the event provides a crucial hint about Qurtel.

Pokémon GO Fest Chicago – Hints about Qurtel

In a new blog post, the Pokémon GO team elaborates on the upcoming GO Fest in Chicago. They also released an image for the event. In the foreground, we can see Pokémon like Minun and Plusle. Hidden in the background of the image is Qurtel, which is directly associated with the event.

GO Fest Qurtel Icognito

On the right side, we see an Unown in the form of the letter B. It seems there will be a selection of Unown during the event again. In the past, Unown in the shapes of letters such as S A F R I were found at Safari events.

However, just because a B-Unown is depicted in the image, it does not mean that this form will be unlocked. At last year’s event, an exclamation mark Unown appeared in the promotional image, which did not show up at the event.

New Special Research Tasks

In the announcement, the team writes regarding research:

While you stroll through the park, you can also discover the Pokémon that live in these habitats. You can also perform new special research projects that come with great rewards.

It is unclear whether these new researches will only be available for trainers in Chicago or will be unlocked worldwide at the same time.

One possibility is that trainers in Chicago might get a head start and begin working on new tasks during the event, while trainers who are not attending the event in Chicago will start later. However, this possibility is merely speculation at this point.

It is also unclear what rewards the new special research tasks will provide. Niantic has not revealed anything about this yet.

Participation Possible Only on One Day

The event in Chicago offers a nearly 3-kilometer-long route through a park, where trainers can explore various Pokémon habitats. Additionally, there will once again be team lounges where you can meet members of Team Red, Blue, and Yellow.

Only one ticket is worthwhile, because you can only catch Pokémon on one day, even though the event spans two days. “Trainers who purchase a ticket for the event on Saturday will not be able to catch Pokémon in the park on Sunday, even if they have a ticket for Sunday,” the announcement states.

Worldwide Event Planned

If you do not wish to travel to Chicago, you will not go empty-handed during the event. Niantic explains that trainers around the world can celebrate Pokémon GO Fest 2018 in a “unique way.”

Pokémon GO Easter 2018 Title

What the worldwide event will look like is still unclear. During the GO Fest 2017, there were time windows during which many Pokémon had to be caught worldwide. This then unlocked rewards.

The developers plan to release more detailed information about the event soon.

Destiny 2: All known attributes of exotic masterwork weapons

Sven Galitzki Sven Galitzki Reading time 3 minutes

With the release of the Warmind expansion for Destiny 2, many exotic weapons have not only been revised, but also received Masterwork versions. These allow for further upgrades of the respective specimens. We show all known Masterwork properties of the weapon exotics so far.

Masterwork versions are already familiar to most players in Destiny 2 from legendary weapons. The exotic Masterwork weapons function similarly. They essentially represent upgrades of the special firearms and provide the respective weapon with certain stat bonuses along with a kill counter and orb generation. However, the buffs for exotics are stronger. Some exotics even receive additional perks.

UPDATE: This article reflects the state of the Warmind expansion. An updated article with information on all currently available catalysts (as of 2019) can be found here: All Masterwork catalysts in Destiny 2 and how to obtain them

Metal Gear Survive: Financial report omits sales figures – Flop?

Micha Deckert Micha Deckert Reading time 2 minutes

The Metal Gear spinoff Metal Gear Survive was released in February. How well or poorly the survival game has sold is currently unknown, as Metal Gear Survive is only mentioned in passing in Konami’s financial report.

Recently, Konami announced its results for the fiscal year ending March 31. It is noteworthy that Metal Gear Survive is only mentioned as a footnote, even though it was released in February for PC, Xbox One, and PlayStation 4.

“Metal Gear Survive has been released” was all Konami had to say about the game in the financial report. Now there are rumors that Metal Gear Survive has sold far below expectations.

Metal Gear Survive Title

Is Metal Gear Survive a Financial Disappointment?

What is Metal Gear Survive? Metal Gear Survive is a spinoff of the main storyline of Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes and takes place in an alternate universe. Players are pulled into a hostile world full of biological threats through a wormhole. There, they must survive in missions with up to four players and find a way back home. Survival typically involves hunting, crafting, and fighting.

What do players think? Metal Gear Survive faced a tough start with players. Konami was accused of exploiting the Metal Gear brand. Additionally, the departure of the series’ creator, Hideo Kojima, has intensified fans’ distrust.

What do we know about the sales? It is known that Metal Gear Survive debuted at 6th place in the UK charts for physical sales in its launch week. Despite this good result, around 85 percent fewer units were sold in the first week of Metal Gear Survive compared to Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance in 2013.

According to market researchers, the survival game did not place in the top 20 of best-selling video games in its first month in the USA. Additionally, the game was quickly discounted: both domestically and in other countries, Metal Gear Survive is already available for as low as 20 Euros.

Wild West Online has launched: Catastrophic reviews on Steam

Andreas Bertits Andreas Bertits Reading time 2 minutes

The Western MMORPG Wild West Online has officially launched. No early access phase, no beta anymore, just a simple release. Do you want to join in? However, the previous reviews talk about a catastrophe.

The Wild West is calling – better stay away

Here’s how to get involved: If you want to check out the Western MMO, just visit the Steam page for WWO and download the client for €29.99. Create an account and you’re in. However, there are quite a few warning signs:

What are the initial reactions? The reviews on Steam are currently “mostly negative.” The few positive reviews, however, mention some potential that exists. The following issues are especially criticized:

  • Character creation – There are too few options for creating an individual hero. Most characters look very similar.
  • Introduction – The game explains too little, there’s no tutorial, no starting quest. As a player, you don’t know what to do at all.
  • Graphics – Players criticize the lack of detail and clunky animations. The graphics are compared to games from 2006.
  • Connection errors – There are frequent disconnections that curiously cause players to find themselves in other areas of the game world after logging in.
  • Microtransactions – The smaller packages in the in-game shop don’t offer enough content, making it so one is practically forced to spend more money if they really want to gain an advantage from the microtransactions.
  • A lot of bugs – Even the controls and UI are reportedly buggy.

German translation of Wild West Online is heavily criticized

  • German translation – The German texts are poorly translated. For example, some German items have incorrect names, causing some quests to be uncompletable.
  • Missing content – Players complain that despite the official release, many promised content such as bounty hunting is not available in the game, and WWO feels more like an alpha.
Wild West Online 1

Unfinished, buggy, too little content – a disgrace

Here are a few examples of user reviews on Steam.

  • Keule writes: “I suspect that they are still trying to cash in on this and that the game won’t be developed further. Especially after the announcement of Red Dead Redemption 2. I hope I’m wrong. But I advise people to stay away from the game until more content is released.”
  • Chum Lee says: “I would like to give a thumbs up….but there is honestly nothing positive about the game…. how can you go into the release phase with soooo little content? It remains an absolute mystery to me!!!”
  • Press_Enter thinks: “I was already very disappointed in Early Access, but to release something like this is more than cheeky.”

How are the developers responding to the criticism? The developers thank players for their feedback and state that they are continuing to work on content, bug fixes, and improvements. They advise all players to contact the team via email as this is the quickest way to provide feedback.

Monster Hunter World: How to get the High-Rank Armor for Ryu

Leya Jankowski Leya Jankowski Reading time 2 minutes

In Monster Hunter World you can now craft a high-rank armor for Ryu. Learn here how to unlock the Alpha Set from Street Fighter V and what stats the armor has. The event is available for PS4 and Xbox One.

You were able to craft an event armor for Ryu before, but it was only usable at low rank. Now you can unlock an Alpha Set for high rank with appropriate stats by completing the challenge “The Awakened Satsui No Hado”.

To obtain the armor, you must take on a Nergigante in the arena. The event runs from May 11 to May 24.

These are the quest details for high-rank Ryu:

  • Name: The Awakened Satsui No Hado (I, II, III)
  • Level: 8 stars
  • Target: Kill the Nergigante
  • Location: Arena (top of the Gathering Hub)
  • Quest Type: Challenge
  • Duration: May 11 – May 24
  • Conditions: Hunter Rank 13 or higher – How to level up your Hunter Rank
  • Failing Conditions: Time expired, knocked out nine times
  • Available on: PS4 and Xbox One

Why is there the quest three times? The Awakened Satsui is available three times with the same prerequisites and conditions. Since it is an arena challenge, you only have a special selection of weapons available. However, with the three quests, you have access to all 14 weapon classes . Otherwise, there are no differences between the quests, including the rewards.

Ryu-High-Rank-Quest

The Ryu Set-α has new abilities

As the Ryu Set is a high-rank armor, it has new skills compared to the low-rank armor. However, it is still a one-piece set. This means you cannot mix the armor with others.

This is the skills the Ryu Set-α gets: 

  • Aggressor Level 2 – Increases attack power and affinity when large monsters become enraged
  • Constitution Level 2 – Reduces stamina consumption
  • Revival Level 1 – With abnormal status effects, you dodge quicker and stamina consumption is reduced
  • Rathalos Mastery:
    • Critical Element Level 2 – Increases elemental damage on critical hits
    • Inner Eye/Ballistics Level 4 – Attacks are not deflected and reduces the time for ammunition and arrows to reach their maximum strength.

To craft the armor you need four times the SFV Ticket III, which you receive directly from the event quest.

In the quest “The Awakened Satsui No Hado” you actually play with the Ryu Alpha Set, as you can see in the video below by Charles.

It could be that other event armors will follow, as there is currently no high-rank variant available. Nonetheless, most players prefer skins over event armors:

Irina Moritz Irina Moritz Reading time 2 minutes

The PC version of the Korean MMORPG Blade and Soul is switching to Unreal Engine 4 after over 7 years, demonstrating how the changes will look. 

There had been signs that Blade and Soul would switch engines, and it is now confirmed. The upgrade is from Unreal Engine 3 to Unreal Engine 4.

The transition to Unreal Engine 4 will primarily bring improvements in lighting and shadow effects, water, reflections, and overall performance upgrades.

The content that will follow the graphic update is said to bring more life to new monsters according to the developer’s own statement.

More content is on the way

In addition to new combat-based content, more features will also be added to Blade and Soul:

  • Fishing
  • Collecting materials in the open world
  • New social activities
  • Improved physics, questing, and sound
  • The character Mushin will have a new role in the story of the game

These features mainly aim to give players a break from fighting and allow them to relax.

A MMORPG like Blade and Soul completely switching to a new engine is a significant undertaking. It is still unclear how long the process will take. However, NC Soft has announced that more information will be provided in the second part of the “Vision” trailer.

Fortnite changes the ‘Infinity Gauntlet’ for the 2nd time: Thanos adjusted again

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time 2 minutes

Epic has once again made changes to the “Infinity Gauntlet” mode in Fortnite via patch. The goal is that while Thanos is powerful, more people can play as Thanos.

This was the problem: The problem was likely that Thanos could withstand too much. He has a 200-point shield and 800 health points. Every time he kills someone, his shield fully regenerates. So, you need to destroy the shield and then deal damage to Thanos without him eliminating anyone. The health pool of 800 was simply too large. Whoever was Thanos remained Thanos for a long time. Just a few days ago, Epic had already changed the mode, but that wasn’t enough. Now they have improved it once more.

More on the topic
Fortnite: Thanos was too strong, so Epic nerfed him via hotfix
von Schuhmann

This is how Epic solves the problem: They have reduced the health points from 800 to 500. In compensation, Thanos now deals more damage. His laser beam now inflicts 20 damage points on players, previously it was 12. Additionally, the damage from his punch has increased from 80 to 100 points. The changes are already active.

Further changes to the “Infinity Gauntlet” mode:

  • Now only rare, epic, and legendary items should appear in the “Infinity Gauntlet” mode.
  • The Infinity Gauntlet now appears much later; instead of “Bus Tour and 30-45 seconds,” it now takes “Bus Tour and 120-135 seconds” until the first Gauntlet is in the game.
  • The first three storms deal significantly less damage.
  • The first storm circle is larger.
  • The Battle Bus flies lower now.
Fortnite-Thanos-Screens-05

This is Epic’s intention with the patch: The one who is Thanos should feel powerful and go all out as long as they are wearing the Gauntlet. However, more people should also have the chance to become Thanos.

What do the fans say? Some fans now view the mode critically. Many supposed victims focus on becoming Thanos. Clever players ruthlessly farm those who blindly chase after the Gauntlet. From a tactical perspective, some see it as unwise to become Thanos and paint a gigantic target on themselves since everyone is now after them. They farm kills by playing tactically and not going for Thanos.

Destiny 2: How to get the Polaris Lance? Fans have a theory

Sven Galitzki Sven Galitzki Reading time 3 minutes

One of the last great mysteries of the Warmind expansion for Destiny 2 is the whereabouts of the exotic weapon Polaris Lance. So far, no one has obtained Ana Bray’s new scout rifle. Fans are now speculating how to acquire this weapon. However, there is a theory that seems to be gaining traction.

So far, five new exotic weapons have been confirmed to have entered Destiny 2 with the Warmind expansion. Fans have already figured out how to get the SUROS Regime, the submachine gun Huckleberry, the sword Worldline Zero, and the linear fusion rifle Sleeper Simulant.

However, there is still no concrete information about the whereabouts of the exotic scout rifle Polaris Lance. There have been many speculations. Most of them have, however, either been disproved or discarded.

For example, one of the most prominent theories suggested that you might receive Ana’s weapon if you collect all 40 Sleeper Nodes. However, this theory has not proven to be true. Completing this collection task only rewards you with an emblem. This has already been confirmed by some diligent collectors.

Another theory, on the other hand, seems to be gaining more and more support among fans.

Destiny 2: Sleeper Simulant and Coming Dusk – Here’s How
von Micha Deckert

Where is the Polaris Lance? This is what the community suspects

Destiny 2 Polaris Quest Start

An already known quest is in focus. A large part of the community now agrees that the Polaris Lance is connected to the quest series “Coming Twilight.” This task also serves as a mid-step towards the Sleeper Simulant.

The following factors support this: As soon as you complete the world quest “Data Recovery” and obtain the IKELOS_HFW_V1.0.1 hand cannon from Ana, you will receive not only the first step for the Sleeper Simulant but also another quest – Coming Twilight 1/5.

This quest prepares you for the search for the Sleeper Nodes. After completing it, the Sleeper Quest continues, although Coming Twilight 1/5 is considered completed.

Destiny 2 polaris lanze db

Based on the name, fans already suspected that it could be a 5-part quest series. They were then able to find it in the Destiny 2 database.

It is indeed a series of tasks consisting of 5 individual steps. In this task chain, you will help Ana gradually explore her past. However, after completing the first part, the quest does not progress further for now.

No one knows how to trigger or obtain these additional task steps yet. Fans speculate about potential time limits – for example, only one quest step per week – or specific in-game achievements that need to be fulfilled.

Destiny 2 Lanze Prototyp

The most important hint is provided by the very last step of Coming Twilight 5/5. This part is noted there with the following words: “This module is exhausted. Ana will continue to tinker with it, but because you have restored her memories, she has a finished work for you, which she calls the “production model” of the rifle prototype she had given you.”

On the one hand, it clearly shows that you must have previously received a rifle prototype. Most likely, this will be the legendary BrayTech RWP Type II scout rifle. This scout visually resembles the Polaris Lance identically. Whether you need to develop the prototype further, as was the case with the Necrochasm in Destiny 1, is unknown.

On the other hand, according to the quest description, you will end up with a production model of this prototype. This will likely be the Polaris Lance.

My MMO asks: Are you using Early Access or waiting for the launch?

Micha Deckert Micha Deckert Reading time 2 minutes

Do you test your games before launch or do you prefer to wait until games are officially released? Today, we want to know from you if you have ever bought games in Early Access or if you are not quite sure about the system.

The release of video games is changing. More and more studios are opting for a smooth transition from Early Access to an official release. The benefits for the studio: they generate revenue that can be used to continue working on the games and ideally also receive feedback from the target audience.

More and more studios are embracing Early Access

What is Early Access? Early Access refers to a new form of funding and releasing games. In this process, unfinished games, mostly in an alpha or beta stage, are sold before the official release. Developers secure cash flow this way and can further adapt the games with feedback from buyers.

Especially on the gaming platform Steam, this type of release has already established itself, but Early Access has also arrived on consoles:

  • The dino game ARK was a pioneer here. Even Sony made an exception.
  • The Xbox One now has a “Preview” program that games like PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds use.

With Conan Exiles, a title was released on May 8 that spent a long time in Early Access on both PC via Steam and Xbox One.

Also this week, Electronic Arts stated that they are considering Early Access as well. Thus, the open-world game Anthem could be released in a still unfinished state before the planned launch in March 2019 and be tested by players.

We want to know from you: Do you use Early Access or are you not able to relate to this type of release? Do you think it is good that games can be tested before launch or do you prefer “finished” games? We look forward to your comments!

Fortnite: The biggest streamer on Twitch no longer curses – fans are annoyed

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time 2 minutes

Fortnite star Ninja is the biggest streamer on Twitch. Now he has stopped swearing. He wants to be family-friendly. But some fans see this critically. They accuse him of selling out.

Ninja says very bad words. Just in March, Ninja was involved in a “mini-scandal”. At that time, he had used the word “Nigga” in an improvised rap. There are also videos where the popular streamer resorts to a tone filled with swear words. Especially about the double shotgun in Fortnite, he has been known to get terribly upset. But somehow, for many, that is part of the culture on Twitch. It is seen as “authentic”.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mf9X3FaESWg

Ninja wants to be like SpongeBob

But that is now over. For a few weeks now, it has been noticeable that the biggest streamer on Twitch is paying attention to his language. He no longer swears. In an interview, he said he wants to be like SpongeBob SquarePants now. Adults might still catch dirty jokes, but everything would be alright for kids.

A letter from a parent causes a rethink. Ninja says a letter from a parent reached him and made him rethink. While swearing in gaming is quite common, he does not want kids to run around shouting “Fuck” and swearing. In the future, Ninja will provide an age recommendation for his streams;

  • When Ninja plays solo, the age recommendation will generally be “child-friendly.”
  • When Ninja is with others, the age recommendation is higher. Because some celebrities with whom Ninja streams do not behave in a child-friendly manner. But Ninja does not want to give up collaborating with them.

Brother as a role model. He learned from his brother the ability to switch his language depending on the situation. His brother is a teacher and can refrain from using swear words or use them as needed.

Some fans scold: “Sellout”

Too commercial. Not everyone sees this positively, as the US site Kotaku knows. Among the fans, some view this as “betrayal.” They say it’s too commercial and mainstream. Ninja is selling out and changing himself. One user says: “It’s not Ninja’s job to raise kids. That’s the parents’ responsibility. This is 100% a cash move by Ninja.”

Wife behind Ninja explains why this is happening. The head behind Ninja’s stream is his wife and manager, Jessica. She explains that Ninja has gained many viewers between the ages of 7 and 13. Ninja feels morally obligated to tone it down a bit for these young ears. However, she assures that there will still be situations in which he will turn it up again. She is proud of Ninja.

Many changes to the Global Cooldown in WoW are being reversed

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

Blizzard is rowing back. Racial abilities and trinkets are being freed from the global cooldown in World of Warcraft.

With Battle for Azeroth, many abilities of all classes in World of Warcraft are being assigned the global cooldown (Global Cooldown or “GCD”). The feedback from players has been largely negative, causing Blizzard to free some abilities from the GCD.

WoW Legion Rogue Combat

Which abilities are being freed from the GCD? All active racial abilities (such as “Arcane Torrent”, “Blood Fury”, or “Every Man for Himself”) will be freed from the cooldown. Furthermore, all trinkets with a “Use” ability will also be exempt from the cooldown.

Why were abilities assigned to the GCD in the first place? The developers wanted to combat large macros that activate four or even five buffs simultaneously, resulting in a massive performance boost for characters. This made decisions less important and individual abilities lost significance, as they were only activated in conjunction with other effects.

Why does Blizzard reverse the changes to the GCD? According to community manager Lore, it does not feel good to have additional cooldowns from racial choices. Additionally, it is not ideal to have to activate multiple GCDs that all only enhance the performance of other abilities.

When will the changes come to the beta? The cooldowns for racial abilities and trinkets are planned to be removed next week and will then be playable in the beta.

Overall, Blizzard is continuing to row back and is gradually removing further abilities from the global cooldown. Whether the changes will ultimately create the desired effect of more conscious gameplay remains to be seen.

Red Dead Redemption 2 will show kills artistically in slow motion

Irina Moritz Irina Moritz Reading time 2 minutes

The co-head of Rockstar, Rob Nelson, talks in an interview about the special death video sequences of Red Dead Redemption 2 and their significance for the player experience of fans. 

The last few weeks have brought a flood of new information about Red Dead Redemption 2. After a new trailer and details about the world map, Rob Nelson from Rockstar now reveals something about the “Slow-Motion Death Scenes” feature of the game.

Unified Camera Features for Story Missions and Open World

The slow-motion death video sequences are already familiar to players from the first part of Red Dead Redemption. They serve to visually enhance the action in the game and are further improved in RDR2.

Red Dead Redemption campfire

According to Nelson, these sequences will be dynamic and intelligent, adapting to the players’ actions to create spectacular combat scenes. They will not only appear in story missions but everywhere in the world of Red Dead Redemption 2.

Red Dead Redemption 2 pistol fire

So if you take on the law in the open world or get involved in a confrontation between gangs, you can also expect slow-motion sequences here. 

The feature is primarily meant to convey the feeling that the player can see the world from the perspective of the protagonist, Arthur Morgan. For example, there will be dramatic pans in areas where the camera has plenty of space.

Red Dead Redemption 2 gang

The team aimed to create the same visual and mechanical leitmotif throughout the game, ensuring consistency in the player experience.

It definitely sounds like a feature that will lead to many video snippets of cool death scenes on social media and YouTube.

Can Anthem be played alone? BioWare gives a clear answer

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

Will Anthem also be interesting for solo players? BioWare explains whether Anthem will have a single-player mode.

Anthem is the next big title from the game studio BioWare. Fans around the world are eagerly waiting for this multiplayer title, hoping that Anthem will be a serious competitor to Destiny 2. However, there were also questions about whether the shooter can be played alone or if some missions require multiplayer. BioWare has now assured that Anthem will also be fully playable solo.

Anthem City guy failure

What are the fans’ concerns? BioWare has always been a game studio that places great importance on exciting stories that can also be experienced in single-player mode. It has not yet been discussed to what extent players might be forced to interact with other players.

What has BioWare said now? The fans’ concerns have been eased as Anthem is supposed to be completely playable alone if desired. Alternatively, players can experience the game “simply with friends” and will not have to encounter “randoms”.

Developers assure: Gameplay of Anthem is supposed to be like in the trailer
von Jürgen Horn

What impact does multiplayer have on the story? Players will always be the key figures in the story of Anthem. They are supposed to feel “special” and like the hero of a story. Nevertheless, the world will be subject to various influences of an online world with multiple players. However, the plot will primarily be dictated by the respective player.

When will there be more to see about Anthem? In June, the “EA Play” event will take place, where Anthem is expected to be presented in a good state. Then there will be fresh information about the gameplay and how exactly single-player and multiplayer will interact.

Are you already excited about Anthem? Do you have high hopes that it will be a good alternative to Destiny 2? Or do you expect nothing from BioWare’s new game?

Conan Exiles brings more PvP servers, kills PvE conflict servers [Update]

Benedict Grothaus Benedict Grothaus Reading time 3 minutes

Shortly after the launch of the survival MMO Conan Exiles, Funcom immediately brings more servers online. The number has roughly doubled. However, there is trouble, as Funcom is eliminating one of the three server types.

Conan Exiles Server Screenshot

New servers. Conan Exiles has sold over a million copies since its launch. The influx of players to the servers upon release on May 8 fully loaded most official servers. Most of the servers were instantly full, so some players didn’t even get a chance to play on them.

During the night of May 9 to 10, Funcom worked to bring more servers online for Conan Exiles. Around 12 noon European time on May 10, the new servers for PC and PS4 went online.

The servers are spread across all regions. Europe, the USA, and Asia now have new locations for players to game.

Conflict servers are eliminated – players have been looted

One server type is being eliminated. PvE conflict servers are servers where players can attack each other only at certain times of the day. PvP is only active during “prime time” between 5 PM and 11 PM server time. Player bases are off-limits and can never be attacked. Otherwise, the servers function like PvE servers, where players play peacefully together.

PvE conflict servers were only available for PC and were supposed to be brought to consoles if they perform well. However, Funcom has now decided differently and has converted all conflict servers into regular PvP servers.

Conan Exiles Attack

Some fans are unhappy with this decision. Players complain that they built PvE bases on the conflict servers, and they were suddenly looted overnight by others. This was supposed to be excluded. Bases were supposed to be safe.

Especially on Steam, the players’ reactions are reflected. Most of the negative reviews in recent days criticize the decision to eliminate conflict servers.

The rush for PvP was too big

Barbarians love PvP. PvP servers are servers where players can kill each other at any time without regard. The rush for this server type was so great at release that some players resorted to PvE or PvE conflict servers.

Funcom thus decided to temporarily close conflict servers and turn them into PvP servers. Furthermore, most of the new servers are PvP servers to meet player demand.

Whether the conflict servers will return is not yet known. The servers were reportedly too unpopular and did not carry enough players to be considered currently. However, the demand for PvP servers is so great that they will likely take priority.

UPDATE: In a statement shortly after the strong criticism of the approach, Funcom confirmed that new conflict servers will go live. According to the developers, the new conflict servers are supposed to start before the weekend!

FIFA 18: Is Ultimate Team a game of chance? EA boss says “No” and wants to take action

Philipp Junge Philipp Junge Reading time 3 minutes

In FIFA 18 Ultimate Team, there are controversial loot boxes. The CEO of Electronic Arts denies the accusation that FUT sets are gambling. However, he wants to take action against coin traders.

In almost every online game, you can purchase additional content through microtransactions. Often, this takes the form of loot boxes: you buy a chest or a pack for a specific price, but the contents are largely unknown.

FUT also cannot do without these surprise packs. At the beginning of the year, a ban was contemplated in various parts of Europe. This would also have affected Ultimate Team.

In the conference about the current financial report, EA CEO Andrew Wilson commented on the discussion.

fifa-18-hunter-chelsea

Loot boxes in FIFA Ultimate Team: Gambling or not?

For EA, which makes a fortune with Ultimate Team through microtransactions, a loot box ban would be critical. Sets are an essential part of the FUT mode.

How do loot boxes work in FIFA Ultimate Team? In FUT, everything revolves around player cards of professional footballers. These are only available from packs. They can then be used or offered for sale on the transfer market. The cards are divided into bronze, silver, and gold as well as “common,” “rare,” and “special.”

There are different types of sets, each with a different number of players. A “Premium Gold Player Set” contains twelve players, of which eleven are gold cards and three are rare; a “Rare Player Set” also contains twelve players, but all are gold and rare, making it significantly more valuable.

How do players get loot boxes? Packs can be obtained in many ways. You can earn them in various modes or purchase them for in-game currency, which is coins, in the shop. However, they can also be bought with “FIFA Points.” These are obtained in exchange for real money; for 10 euros, you get about 1000 FIFA Points.

The video shows a “pack opening.” The YouTubers buy FIFA Points for several hundred euros and pull sets with them. The result is often modest, as good players are very rare.

EA CEO Wilson argues against pack ban

For Andrew Wilson, CEO of Electronic Arts, sets are not gambling, even if the value of a pack’s contents can vary greatly.

He argues that buyers know in advance what contents they can expect in the set – namely, a certain number of items of varying rarity. Furthermore, there is no way to exchange the drawn cards for real money. Thus, they have no real value.

This statement is probably not entirely correct. There are ways to sell in-game currency or FIFA accounts for real money on certain sites. However, this is illegal. If you are caught during a coin transfer, the FUT account is immediately banned.

von Tom Rothstein

Electronic Arts wants to take stronger action against coin traders

To ensure that the FUT cards continue to have no real value, EA wants to take action against such traders. Wilson stated that the publisher is working globally with industry associations and regulatory authorities.

EA does not want to be hindered by the loot box discussion. On the contrary, it should continue to look forward and offer players content and features in a “transparent, entertaining, fair, and balanced manner.”

A first step has already been taken. The WM mode for FIFA 18 will come completely free as an additional download for PS4, Xbox One, and PC.

fifa-18-wm-griezmann

Philipp says: I believe EA is very afraid of a loot box ban. A lot is being done to pacify the community: the free WM mode, cheaper TOTS cards for all players, and responding to community wishes. Such things had been missed in recent years.

Because even if Wilson’s arguments are certainly valid: it is still mostly minors who are repeatedly encouraged by EA to spend real money on sets.

Rend: The Alpha is now inviting to the survival battle

Andreas Bertits Andreas Bertits Reading time 2 minutes

You want to see how the survival MMO Rend plays? Then you now have the opportunity in the Alpha!

What do the developers aim to achieve with Rend? The developers of Rend have set themselves a big goal: They want to be to the survival MMO genre what World of Warcraft was to MMORPGs. They hope to advance the genre and provide long-lasting fun that is accessible yet deep – whether this will work can be determined by the now launched Alpha. The Early Access phase will begin later in the year.

Rend Attack

The Alpha provides an initial glimpse

This is how you join! Do you want to participate in the Alpha? Then sign up on the official website. With a bit of luck, you will receive one of the limited access keys and can take a look at the very early version immediately. However, the developers place great importance on feedback to continuously improve the online game.

rend 1

What is Rend?

Rend mixes survival, sandbox, and MOBA gameplay. It sounds adventurous but also very exciting:

  • You find yourself on a large map where you gather resources
  • With the resources, you expand your base and craft better equipment
  • During your expeditions into the wilderness, you are attacked by players from hostile factions and wild beasts
  • Throughout the match, you collect souls. Once you have gathered the required number of souls, you win the round, and the game world resets
  • Once a week, the shields around the factions’ bases lower, and you can attack them to destroy the soul stone where the souls are collected
  • Your hero collects progress points during the match that you use to improve him, so you don’t start from scratch in the next round

This is what the developers themselves have to say about their work: “Our goal from the beginning was to allow Rend to continuously grow and optimize through direct player feedback at every step of this project journey,” explains Jeremy Wood, Co-Founder and CEO at Frostkeep Studios. “With the help of players, we put a lot of love into the creation process, making it not just our project, but also theirs. The Alpha testing phase represents a significant milestone, now that even more players from around the world can join the universe of Rend and become part of our community.”

Rend comes from the creative minds of former WoW and LoL developers.

Next Day: Fallout meets Tarkov as a post-apocalyptic survival MMO

Andreas Bertits Andreas Bertits Reading time 2 minutes

The hardcore shooter Escape from Tarkov is still pending, but maybe the survival MMO Next Day can bridge the wait until then.

Apocalyptic, survival, role-playing… that doesn’t sound too bad. Next Day could be an interesting mix of Fallout, Escape from Tarkov, and MMO. And soon you’ll be playing. The release is scheduled for May 21 on Steam.

Next Day 3

What is Next Day about?

  • The MMO places you – similar to Escape from Tarkov – in a fictional Eastern European state
  • A toxic fog has made large parts of the country uninhabitable
  • You try to survive in this area
  • You search for resources and weapons
  • Crafting plays an important role
  • There are dangers lurking everywhere – Not only NPCs, but also other players will stand in your way. PvP is an important gameplay element
  • You improve your character based on skills
  • You join one of several factions and slowly advance within it based on ranks
  • Each faction offers you advantages and disadvantages
  • You complete quests for the factions that will also lead you into attempted areas where you must survive
  • In single-player mode, you play alone

Next Day 1

Developers are committed

The early access version of Next Day is currently rated “balanced”, which is mainly due to some bugs that the developers need to fix before the planned release on May 21. The team now wants to focus on the core game and deliver regular content updates after the release. You can currently take a look at the early access version for 8.99 euros.
