Monster Hunter World's Final Update

 

Fatalis brings into the foreground the main antagonist of Monster Hunter that came out in 2004. Not only is he a huge dragon but is always lurking around in the monster hunter games. Often a secret boss that has to be found instead of stumbled upon Fatalis hates humans with a passion.

The update is set to launch on the 1st of October. Good luck Hunters!

Call of Duty Warzone Gets an Update

 

Modern Warfare has an update on Friday that fixes some of the graphical issues players have been experiencing. On the Xbox this will set players up to the task of downloading 66GB while PS4 and PC users will content with a mere 2GB. 

Infinity Ward have said that the reason the Xbox update is so huge is due to an issue with the patch delivery system on that platform. The games size should not increase to much but this means a lot of the content already on the system has to be reinstalled.

Sorry Xbox users, looks like you are in for a long haul.

Warframe: Heart of Deimos

 

As you know by now Warframe for me is by far the best free to play game that ever existed. hundreds of hours of content, so much so that the majority of casual players will never see all there is to offer. At Tennocon there was a huge host of new content revealed. Today I shall leave the game play reveal of the new open world: Heart of Deimos. 

The graphics and infested environment are astounding. I cannot wait to see what the next gen consoles bring to it.  Until then we have this free expansion hitting Warframe on all platforms on the 25th of August!

The New Open World: Heart of Deimos

"There is a sinister mystery lying underneath Deimos, hiding from even the Entrati and the Infestation that has overtaken the entire moon. We can’t wait for you to experience everything Heart of Deimos has to offer:

- Explore a new open world; a hauntingly-beautiful landscape festering with Infested enemies, the dark Entrati and sights unseen in ever-changing underground cave networks.
- Harness the power of the Void with the Community-designed Xaku, the second-ever Warframe to be designed by the Tenno!
- Customize your Warframe like never before with the Helminth Chrysalis system. Give the Helminth a Warframe to absorb a signature Ability and transfer it to another Warframe."

The Frontier Pursuit: Red Dead Online

I recently turned my back on Red Dead Redemption Online. It was a big decision and it hurt to discard it. The instability of the online world and the lack of content for so long made the game, for me at least, unplayable.

Now we see an update that will land on Tuesday, July 28. The Frontier Pursuit has yet to be detailed, but Rockstar promises that it’s an all-new role focused on naturalism. In addition, the update adds a new Outlaw Pass. It also boasts to add a host of features and bug fixes that fans have been asking for. Hopefully this time they will be true to their word.

No Man's Sky Desolation

Today is the release of another enticing No Man's Sky Update. Desolation allows players to dive into the remains of derelict freighters that have been left spread across the star systems since the exo-mech update.

“Being a small dot amongst the stars can bring a sense of awe and wonder, but we’ve always wanted to explore a little more those feelings of fear and dread that come from being alone in the depths of space,” said No Man’s Sky developer Hello Games in a press release.

Each freighter has now become a far less chilled out experience than the rest of the game. These horror filled dungeons are Packed with lore, scrap, and  technology. Each of these derelicts comes with its own risks and challenges. The procedurally generated explorations contain a whole host of hazards and horrors lying in wait for the explorers.

Thankfully No Man’s Sky is also scheduled to receive an update to its combat mechanics alongside Desolation. It is said to bring a faster and more dynamic combat experience by way of several tweaks and balance adjustments to the game’s weaponry. 

PlayStation 4 Must be Compatible With PlayStation 5

Sony has told developers that new games coming out for the PlayStation 4 must be compatible with the upcoming PlayStation 5 console. The new rule this compatibility will be from the 13th of June on wards.  However all PS4 games released or submitted before this period have been advised to be patched or remastered for the PS5.

Hopefully the PS5 announcement event on the 4th of June will shed more light on the subject.

The PS5 is still set to launch in the 2020 holidays and Sony have reassured gamers that despite Covid 19 there will be no price changes. 

May the 4th Be With You!

May the 4th be with you! Today is the Star Wars holiday and it comes with a new update for Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order. The free patch adds a new game plus mode, combat challenges, additional cosmetics, and a host of upgraded accessibility options.

Lots of games allow you to carry over abilities into a second play through, new game plus as its now known has been going on for well over a decade. Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order retains aesthetic options. New Journey + gives you a chance to play through the story again with all the cosmetics you’ve unlocked. In the update is also a new Inquisitor outfit as well as the much coveted red lightsaber crystal and hilt designs based on the ones offered at Disney parks.

Cosmetics aside the main bulk of this update is in its new Meditation Training mode, which features several combat challenges against waves of opponents. The battle grid will also give you an opportunity to face off against a wide range of enemies such as Cal’s mentor Jedi Master Jaro Tapal and even Inquisitor Cal.

I know this update has made me dust off the game and hopefully it draws some of you back in too. Happy snapping VPs!
