— Pocketpair – Craftopia (@PocketpairGames) June 6, 2020

Japanese indie devs Pocket Pair revealed its online multiplayer game Craftopia, and announced a Steam Early Access in July. Recruitment for a Closed Alpha Test also began.

Craftopia might look like Story of Seasons in 3D at a first glance, but it actually mixes Survival, Open-World, Crafting, Pokemon, and Online Multiplayer. Craftopia is also an hack ‘n’ slash, as you’ll craft your own equipment and learn skills to fight. You can make buildings and vehicles as well. The game promises a high degree of freedom, allowing you to do a lot of things that would lend you in jail in real life, such as building a giant machine to automatically boil livestock for food, or hunting elephants.

Craftopia looks like tons of fun and is definitely a game I’ll keep an eye on. The official site promises “endless possibilities”. If you can create a whole automated society complete with state racism and cops characters who assassinate innocents with impunity, I’ll buy this in a heartbeat.

Nimbus Infinity Announced on PC via Steam and Consoles (Release Date TBA)

youtube

GameTomo and GameCrafterTeam announced Nimbus Infinity, the sequel to high-speed mecha action game Project Nimbus. Nimbus Infinity will feature skill-based combat, diverse battlefields from asteroid belts to deserts, and customizable mecha & weapons. You can read more on the game on its official site. It’s interesting to note Nimbus Infinity was announced for PC via Steam and “consoles”, so perhaps it could come to Xbox Series X and PS5.

Sumire Announced for PC via Steam, Nintendo Switch (Release Date TBA)

GameTomo revealed a brand new narrative-driven game, Sumire no Sora. it’s definitely one of the game that piqued my interest the most during the Indie Live Expo 2020 stream, so I detailed what we know about the game via a dedicated article.

『ピコンティア』の最新映像が公開されました！でもこれは、まだほんの一部です！完成までもう少しお時間をください…！#ピコンティア #Picontier #gamedev pic.twitter.com/bGDtTuCnGm

— ユウラボ@Skipmore (@skipmore) June 6, 2020

Developed by Skipmore (Fairune, Kamiko) Picontier is a slow-paced garden raising game with cute pixel art. You can also fish and fight monsters. It’s similar to Bokujou Monogatari (Story of Seasons) and its spinoff Rune Factory. They showed around 5 minutes of gameplay on the Indie Live Expo stream. Watch it at the 54:03 timestamp. The game’s developer asked us on Twitter to please wait a bit more till release. They’re also working on another game called Transiruby.

Touhou Fan Game Gensokyo Night Festival on Steam Gets Major Content Update Coming Soon

youtube

Tea_Basira announced during Indie Live Expo 2020 that its 2D scrolling action Touhou game, Gensokyo Night Festival, will get a new update soon. Similarly to Deedlit in Wonderland, the game is in early access. The update will add the game’s second stage, which has Utsuho Reiuji aka Okuu as boss, one of my favorite 2hues.

Chinese Parents, Already Available in English, Will Now Launch in Japanese

Chinese Parents is a pretty interesting sounding game. It’s a raising simulation where you live as a Chinese kid born in an average family, from their very early days of life up to the end of high school when they turn 18 years old. You decide how to spend your time, having fun, studying, learning skills, etc. It’s pretty much Princess Maker but with Chinese Parents. I’d definitely like to try it one day.

Children of Morta, Already Available in the West, was Finally Announced for our Japanese Peers on PS4, Switch

Children of Morta is an indie-action RPG available in the West on PS4 and Switch. Developed by Dead Mage, Children of Morta‘s story driven experience will hopefully become a hit in Japan. No release estimate for the Japanese version was announced yet, but hopefully the wait won’t be much longer. You can read our review of Children of Morta here.

The Indie Live Expo 2020 stream is embedded below. You have the English version and the Japanese version. Smaller announcements were also made, like new ports of existing games. Multiple already revealed or released games were featured for exposure too, such as Gnosia and Alter Ego S. If you’re interested,watch the Indie Waves Part 1,2,3 at the 1:15:56, 2:05:45, and 3:24:27 marks. The event also featured messages from popular Japanese developers:

ZUN (Touhou Project)

Toby Fox (“UNDERTALE”, “DELTARUNE”)

SWERY (CEO for White Owls Inc. ) (1:30:58)

Kazuya Nino (TYPE-MOON studio BB) (3:58:18)

Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War Review

https://ift.tt/eA8V8J

It’s hard to get excited about a new Call of Duty game after 16 years of consecutive releases, but a bigger emphasis on stealth in Black Ops Cold War’s campaign and a couple of enjoyable new multiplayer modes prove that this annual franchise can still hang with the best.

While part of the Black Ops subseries, you don’t need to be familiar with the previous games to enjoy Cold War’s single-player campaign. Alex Mason, the protagonist from the first two Black Ops’ games returns for a few missions, but you’ll be playing as your own created character for most of the adventure. After an adrenaline-pumping opening chase sequence set in Turkey, you’ll get to choose your character’s gender, background, and two extra skills from a “psychological” profile. These skills include perks like extra health or faster reload speed. It’s a cool concept, but it doesn’t add much while on actual missions.

Set mostly in 1981, Cold War sees your character working with the CIA to stop Perseus, a Soviet spy who has stolen nuclear secrets and is now threatening the stability of western Europe. Along the way, you’ll be joined by Mason and Russell Adler, a scarred CIA agent who looks exactly like Robert Redford. Somehow, it’s not him, though. I checked, double checked, and then looked it up again. Redford has nothing to do with the game, though the resemblance is uncanny.

Developers Treyarch and Raven Software have done a fantastic job creating the game’s early ‘80s aesthetic, with fashion and office space seemingly lifted straight out of a movie from the era. File footage and a brief cameo from a very uncanny valley Ronald Reagan help further set the tone. Call of Duty isn’t exactly known for its soundtracks, but Cold War showcases a few big hits from the era, including Billy Squire’s “The Stroke” and Pat Benatar’s “Hit Me With Your Best Shot.” As if that weren’t enough to revive the decade of big hair and shoulder pads, Raven even managed to squeeze a few classic Activision games from the Atari 2600 into Cold War for good measure.

While Cold War retains the more realistic, heavier gunplay of last year’s Modern Warfare reboot, the move away from active battlefields lends itself to some much-needed changes to the series’ usual formula. Many missions have a much greater emphasis on infiltration and stealth. Enemies can be taken hostage and used as shields, and hiding bodies in closets is critical to success during stealth missions. Sneaking around old Soviet bases with a silenced pistol at the ready results in a strong GoldenEye 007 vibe. I didn’t expect a Call of Duty game in 2020 to emulate the classic N64 shooter, but it works well here.

All of this culminates with one of the best missions in the series’ history: a two-part heist that begins with stealth section that can be completed in multiple ways, followed by a tense shootout and escape. It feels like this is the campaign mission in which Raven put most of its efforts, and it’s such a step above everything else in the campaign that it makes me wonder what the developers could do with the series if they were able to get off the biannual release treadmill and not have to meet such a tight deadline.

I don’t want to give too much of the story away, but I will say that it takes a bizarre hallucinatory left turn after the heist mission, and then in one of the most unoriginal moves in gaming history, steals BioShock’s big twist beat-for-beat. The gameplay remains enjoyable until the very end, but the last hour or so of Cold War’s story is especially disappointing because the rest of the story is so well told. I get it. This is Call of Duty. I don’t expect a Shakespearean narrative, but some originality would’ve been nice. At least the story includes the branching choices that last appeared in Black Ops II, though they feel much less consequential here. There are two distinct endings, but the choices you make during the campaign just affect some of the voiceovers.

Another issue I ran into with the campaign while playing the PC version was a bug where no matter what I did, I couldn’t trigger the ending cutscene for the early mission “Fracture Jaw.” Apparently it’s a problem quite a few players are having. After a quick Google search, I was able to resolve it by running scan and repair on the game’s files through the Battle.net launcher, but this is a major bug that never should have made it into the final release.

Release Date: Nov. 13, 2020 Platforms: PC (reviewed), XSX, PS5, XBO, PS4 Developers: Treyarch & Raven Software Publisher: Activision Genre: First-person Shooter

The campaign is also extremely short, even by Call of Duty standards. Accounting for the time I got stuck in “Fracture Jaw,” I was able to breeze through it in about five hours. Of course, many Call of Duty players don’t even touch single player, which is why I’m pleased to report that this year’s multiplayer release is solid, though it’s a little light on content at the moment, with only 10 maps available at launch, and two of those are exclusive to the new Fireteam mode.

The maps are well-designed, though. Thanks to improved ray-traced lighting effects, the neon-hued Miami map is easily the best looking of the bunch, and it features a good mix of interior and exterior sections in which to set up ambushes. Crossroads, a snow-covered map set in the forests of Uzbekistan, is another excellent map, with lots of perches for sniping and wide open areas you can drive snowmobiles through. But my favorite map is the large version of Armada, which is made up of multiple ships anchored in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. You travel between these ships on smaller boats and jet skis, which makes for plenty of unique encounters, but there’s also a lot of verticality. Once you get on top of the larger ships, you can pick off opponents below.

The two big mode additions to multiplayer, Fireteam and VIP Escort, appeal to very different tastes. The 40-player Fireteam mode breaks off players into 10 squads of four players each in a mad dash to kill each other as quickly as possible for pieces of uranium. The uranium is then taken to one of several points around the map to set off dirty bombs. The first squad to 500 points wins. With so many different squads to keep track of, respawning players constantly parachuting in, and detonated dirty bombs irradiating parts of the map every few minutes, Fireteam is like a smaller, more chaotic version of Warzone. So it’s good, but like the rest of Cold War’s multiplayer, I wish there was more to it.

The other new multiplayer mode is the 6v6 VIP Escort. In each two-and-a-half minute round, one player from each team is randomly selected as the VIP, who is equipped only with a pistol, smoke grenade, and UAV. The rest of the team has to protect him as he makes his way to one of two evac points. The round ends when the VIP escapes or is killed, or when all members of the opposing team are killed. The first team to win four rounds takes the match. VIP Escort has an obvious Counter-Strike influence. It’s a lot faster-paced than most other Call of Duty modes, and I enjoyed the matches I played, but I’m not sure it has the staying power of Team Deathmatch or Domination.

Rounding out the Cold War package is the Zombies mode, which returns from Black Ops 4 after a one-year hiatus. The only map available at launch, “Die Maschine,” takes place in 1983 at a graffiti-covered abandoned Nazi bunker. “Die Maschine” is actually a reimagining of the first Zombies map from 2008’s World at War, but it’s a well-made level, starting with a large, open area, and then moving into the winding underground caverns we’ve all come to expect from the Zombies mode. There are also some very cool looking paranormal hijinks to trigger as the rounds progress. The map may not be completely original, but it’s a significant step up from the original release.

cnx.cmd.push(function() { cnx({ playerId: "106e33c0-3911-473c-b599-b1426db57530", }).render("0270c398a82f44f49c23c16122516796"); });

One welcome change to Zombies this year is that you can now play as your custom classes and operators from multiplayer, so you can jump into a match with much stronger weapons from the start instead of having to make do with a peashooter and work your way up to something more powerful. Thankfully, this doesn’t break the game either. It’s still very easy to get overwhelmed in the later waves if you’re not careful. My only complaint about Zombies is that I wish Treyarch had leaned into the ‘80s setting more and included content similar to the retro amusement park seen in 2016’s Infinite Warfare. I suppose there’s always hope we’ll see something like that added in an update. As of now, the only other thing Zombies has to offer is the twin-stick shooter Dead Ops 3, which is really only worth checking out for a few minutes.

If you’re burned out on Call of Duty, or never got into franchise to begin with, Cold War is not the game that’s going to change your mind. There are some rough edges here, particularly in the short campaign mode. The lack of variety in multiplayer is also disappointing. But the underlying gameplay and multiplayer progression system remain compelling. Cold War may not be the best Call of Duty game, but it’s a strong showing for the series at the beginning of a new gaming generation.

Análise Titanfall 2: Xbox One, PS4 e PC

Analise Titanfall 2: Xbox One, PlayStation 4 e PC

Olá amigos, meu nome é Murillo e hoje vamos fazer uma análise de um jogo incrível que eu joguei recentemente e que foi umas das melhores experiências que eu já tive. Estou falando de Titanfall 2, lançado pra Xbox One, PS4 e PC. O game está aprimorado no Xbox One X em 4K Dinâmico, e disponível no The Vault do EA Acess.

A Respawn Entertainment usa a engine Source, a mesma do primeiro Titanfall, mas com ótimos gráficos e efeitos, dando um toque realístico pro jogo.

MODO CAMPANHA: Você controla Jack Cooper, um fuzileiro da Milícia, que, logo avançando pelo jogo, ele se torna um “ piloto “

Cooper está sendo treinado pelo Capitão Tai Lastimosa, para ele aprender a controlar um titã.

Enquanto está sendo treinado, a JamesMac Allan entra em um planeta chamado Typhon, um planeta da IMC, e a nave é atacada pelos soldados do planeta.

Sendo assim, Cooper é mandado pra lá junto com vários soldados da Milícia e são surpreendidos com Espectros, robôs programados para batalha.

Quando eles conseguem destruir os espectros, eles avançam e há mais espectros, mas Capitão Tai Lastimosa defende eles com o seu titã, BT – 7274.

Mas Lastimosa e seu titã são surpreendidos com múltiplos titãs e ele é abatido em combate, enquanto cooper está desacordado e escondido em um gramado.

O dia passa, e o titã é acordado, e Cooper acorda, indo ajudar o titã.

Então, o Titã pede ajuda ao fuzileiro para pegar duas baterias de titã, para voltar ao seu funcionamento normal.

A Campanha é um dos pontos mais fortes do jogo, sendo a melhor campanha que tive a melhor experiência. Mesmo com 6 horas de duração, é uma bela campanha e merece ser jogada até mesmo para aqueles que não estão familiarizados com o gênero FPS.

*****************************************************************************

Modo Multiplayer: O Modo multiplayer também é um dos pontos fortes do jogo.

No primeiro menu do Multiplayer, podemos customizar o nosso personagem, armas, e até mesmo customizar o Titã, e há uma opção vasta de customização para ambos.

Há muitos modos para o Multiplayer de Titanfall 2, o primeiro é o Mata – Mata em equipe, que nesse game é chamado de Exaustão. Nesse modo a ação é garantida, trazendo uma ótima experiência ao jogador.

Na minha experiência, foi incrível jogar este multiplayer, na minha opinião, esse multiplayer está empatado com os Battlefield 3 e 4. Certamente recomendo jogar este modo.

Modo Defesa Da Fronteira: Neste modo, você e mais 3 pessoas se juntam para proteger um objetivo importante, usando o trabalho em equipe e titãs, você terá que derrotar 5 ondas de inimigos tentando destruir o objetivo. É um ótimo modo para chamar seus amigos e trabalhar em equipe. Recomendo jogar também este modo.

Dublagem: A Dublagem foi a que mais impressionou em 2016 e quando eu comecei a jogar, eu fiquei impressionado com tanta qualidade.

A Sincronia labial, as vozes de dubladores brasileiros renomados, enfim: Titanfall 2 trouxe uma excelente dublagem que deixa COD no chinelo (minha opinião)

A Respawn Entertainment reviveu Titanfall, pegando tudo que tem de bom no titanfall 1 e melhorou ainda mais no segundo jogo. É um excelente game, eu recomendo até mesmo para quem não joga FPS.

NOTA FINAL: 10/10 (Baseado em minha experiência)

Você tem outra opinião? Poste nos comentários! Ficarei muito agradecido com opiniões suas!

É minha primeira review, então me ajude também para melhorar essas reviews! Muito obrigado!

Everything Pertaining To Psn

The PlayStation 4 Pro was simply the first of all system in which might manage HD video gaming and the enhancement is generally really primarily with respect to being actually acquired within the functionality regarding the PlayStation.

Because its 2016 debut, PlayStation 4 Pro has actually provided several exceptional end results to get 4K living display screens.. Graphically a masterpiece pertaining to PlayStation as well as particularly to get a 4.2 teraflow GPU.

Although 4K was generally actually at first the emphasis the moment it pertains to the device, I 'd now claim that it really is simply something of a gem to get 1080p display screen end users considering that effectively. Also spells without having a 4k display in which still get an older PlayStation, it really is still a good time to replace to the PlayStation Pro.

Specs PS

Let's consider the evidence, and it starts throughout with the specs of the PS4 Pro itself.Let's see what it really is generally such as to begin as well as with the specs regarding the PlayStation 4 pro.But exactly how did this all of begin together with the PS4 Pro as well as its However the PlayStation 4 Pro does this have 2 primary issues whenever it really concerns providing 4k content, we asked a bunch of hardware professional, as well as these people agree. GPU compute has actually duplicated throughout the regular version, opening the door to temporal supersampling as well as checkerboarding solutions in which. as seen in lots of names might seem awesome on an ultra HD screen.

However, certainly there is another side to this tale; Sony has actually enhanced the GPU however certainly never the RAM.

In the meantime, a mere 512MB of special memory so as to solution a 2x-4x boost inside pixel thickness additionally causes obstacles.

Developers create even more video games

At the same time, programmers are definitely forcing their games harder than previously earlier. A role model of this particular is definitely Just Cause 4. At the release of this particular game, our company were actually enamored of the cost and also stable productivity such the video game attained with a forceful dynamic scale-up the pixel resolution.

The game induced 4 DRS is generally reaching a game bad in 720, although the basic ps4 is generally called a 1080p video gaming machine. Since the Pro has indeed been actually leased with CRP, the performance has actually enhanced a great deal, initially, the resolution was simply generally on 1080p. As a result of the most steady entertainer out of each of the PlayStation gaming consoles.

Avalanche Studios isn't alone throughout pushing the hardware. These guys are definitely not just pushing the hardware. Some creators will definitely just get 60 frames every further, and also to reach this specific, these developers have to compromise on the resolution can easily the game, Namco, Bandai's Tekken 7 is this kind of an example. the two are actually somewhat blurred sub-native games, while the Pro provides 1080p along with a few additional visual embellishments. However certainly there are definitely extra games such as Ace Combat 7, as well as Unreal Engine perform also dail at providing native 1080p on the standard PS4, with regard to a greater enjoy anyone require in order to possess a pro console.

what video game is the optimal pro video game

Key titles acquire the most improved performance out of the PlayStation pro, as well as this specific a big true blessing. EA's Anthem has bespoke settings to get the Pro's 1080p as well as 4K outcomes.

but within our testing The full HD result offered without a doubt the absolute most steady frame-rate of all four gaming console develops, effectively secured at 1080p, 30 frames per second. Battlefield 5 multiplayer?

Our rest result about the ps pro video games

We have actually tested this, as well as our outcomes show that the PlayStation pro provides an even more constant frame rate or perhaps almost all the gaming console that has actually been released. So, in the end, the in regard to all of consoles our people test the PlayStation pro was simply far greater than everything else.

That being actually said, it really gets even better; our team also see a headline in which achieves 60 frames per second on this particular Pro beast, against the usual 30 fps at the typical gaming console. Productivity modes that released frame-rate have never ever really prospered on the Pro - the minimal upgrade to CPU power Pro gives sees to that. The two newest samples that made for a game-changer whenever our company discuss the performance update inside hardware are actually definitely. Our team discuss One of the most apparent is simply Rage 2, co-developed by Avalanche and id software application.|Certainly, obviously, our team are definitely discussing Rage2, which is actually made by Avalanche and also ID software program.|Right now you are generally considering what video game the writer is actually talking about? Well, that is actually Rage 2 which is actually produced by Avalanche and ID software.

People get 30 frames every second at the basis machine, although a nigh-on secured 60fps at Pro. Of course there are actually several even more video games in which may keep it very easy, the favourite of our review crew is generally FIFA 19.

Indeed, the PlayStation pro acquires far better simply by the month, everybody will notice this. However, exactly how is actually this specific possible?Well, that is definitely simple.The video game developer will find out specifically how to deal with the misinterpretation of this pixel along with the PlayStation pro.

Need to Blow off Some Steam? Here Are the 7 Best Shooter Games for the X-Box, ps4, and PC

New Post has been published on https://floridaindependent.com/need-to-blow-off-some-steam-here-are-the-7-best-shooter-games-for-the-x-box-ps4-and-pc/

Need to Blow off Some Steam? Here Are the 7 Best Shooter Games for the X-Box, ps4, and PC

Video gaming is more popular than ever before. Indeed, almost 70% of people in the US now regularly play them!

Clearly, no matter the console, this is a country of gamers.

This explosion in popularity has given rise to a huge number of games to choose from.

Of them all, first-person shooter (FPS) games are some of the most popular. They always have been, and, chances are, they always will be. Unfortunately, not all of them are made equal! Some are significantly better than others.

This fact made us wonder about the best shooter games that are out there right now. Are you looking to find the next FPS to get your teeth stuck into?

Keep reading to discover 7 of our best picks.

1. Call of Duty Back Ops 4

Any list of top FPS games would be incomplete without Call of Duty.

This epic franchise has been up and running for years. It remains one of the most popular games ever created. However, recent years saw it in slight decline.

That is until Black Ops 4 hit the shelves.

An awesome storyline is interwoven with well-designed levels and gameplay. One slight pitfall is the lack of a solo campaign. That may raise some eyebrows. But don’t despair.

It more than makes up for it in action. You can play Black Ops 4 in one of three modes, multiplayer, Blackout, and Zombies. Teamwork is the name of the game. Customize your characters, choose your weapons, and then set about seeking victory.

2. Overwatch

Overwatch took the gaming world by storm back in 2016.

It won countless awards for best game of the year. And deservedly so.

As far as addictive FPS hero games go, it doesn’t get much better. That’s thanks in large part to the vast number of heroes you can choose to control. Each comes with their individual skills, plus an ultimate ability.

The array of characters you can play with leads to a different gaming experience each time. This isn’t a game that gathers dust on a shelf when you complete it. Instead, you start again with a new character.

If you’ve been gaming for any length of time, then you’ve probably come across Overwatch already. If you’re totally new, then you’re going to love what Overwatch has to offer.

3. Tom Clancy’s Rainbow 6 Siege

Tom Clancy’s Rainbow 6 is another classic FPS game-choice for 2019.

Some avid gamers may feel it bears striking similarities to Counter-Strike. However, Rainbow 6 boasts an array of unique selling points that don’t disappoint.

This tactical shooter can be played in both single and multi-player. It ranks as one of the top games all over the web. A primary reason for this is the large variety of modes it boasts. From Terrorist Hunt to Secure Area, there are numerous gameplay options to enjoy.

It also provides players with a degree of choice. Far from having a single means of meeting objectives, players can decide the way they go about it. Don’t like that wall? Then blow it up! Want a stealthier approach? Rappel down from the roof. It’s up to you.

Put all the positives together and Rainbow 6 is difficult to beat.

4. Counter-Strike: Global Offensive

It would be rude to include Rainbow 6 without giving CS:GO a mention too.

This FPS PC game took the world by storm upon its release. It’s based upon its predecessor of old. However, it’s been brought up to modern standards in terms of its gameplay. CS is undoubtedly one of the greatest eSport games ever released.

Anyone who is yet to try it should rectify that problem as soon as possible.

5. Farcry 5

Farcry 5 is as good as open world FPSs get.

This is another brand you may already have heard of. It was Farcry 3 that set this franchise up and running as one of the best FPSs out there. Alas, the games that followed didn’t live up to expectations.

…Until Farcry 5.

It presents the gamer with a nice blend of novelty and familiarity. It’s definitely still Farcry, just in nice novel form. You find yourself in a fictional state in southern America, called ‘Hope County’.

We won’t spoil the plotline for you. But rest assured, you’re going to feel full Farcry- aka, without a hope behind enemy lines.

6. BattleField 1

Time to take a step back from the sci-fi, imaginary worlds of aforementioned games.

BattleField 1 places the gamer into an immersive encounter with World War 1. This historical gaming experience is truly exceptional.

You’ll feel like you’re there. It’s large-scale, real-life, dark and chaotic, in the best way possible.

To play it is to feel immersed in this shocking period of history. Now, the single-player won’t live up to this review. Play it online for best effect. This is where the game comes into its own.

Alas, like all too many games these days, you’ll need to pay extra to open up new features (maps and extra content). Pay the money though and you won’t be disappointed.

7. Tom Clancy’s The Division 2

Here’s another Tom Clancy game that deserves a place on this list.

Ever wonder what Washington DC would look like after an apocalyptic poison outbreak? Now’s your chance. The graphical recreation of this space is second to none.

Battlefield V's single-player stories are the right way to do war games

youtube

Part of The Verge holiday 2018 gaming guide

Fighting Nazis is timely again, and yet Battlefield’s return to World War II feels ill-advised. Endless war has taken a toll on this series, and the generals need a new strategy.

I’ll start with some praise. Despite its flaws, Battlefield V is a breathtakingly cinematic game, and it has all of the relentless chaos that fans expect. In my experience playing a press preview of the game, there were only a few bugs (mostly funny ones, like corpses wobbling in midair), and the game retains the series’s recent level of polish. Control inputs feel tight and fluid, everything looks really nice, and the user interface is better than ever, which are all real accomplishments. Battlefield V is an unquestionably well-crafted object.

But as I was thinking about this review, I could not escape a strange feeling. I’ve now been playing Battlefield since 2002. I’ve spent thousands of hours playing these games: it’s a weird fact that’s difficult to reconcile with my personal identity as an adult. A past self decided to love these games, and now I’m cursed by my mastery of them. At this point, it’s hard to tell whether I’m playing for enjoyment or routine.

It’s at least comforting to play the same game over and over, as the movements become rote. It’s nice when the body and a task become the same thing. (I think this is how games like Battlefield become so abstract: after a while, you’re not holding a gun or fighting Nazis; you’re just responding to patterns and using your limbs effectively.) But this familiarity can also be alienating. A few hours into my multiplayer tour, as the rest of the world faded to the background, I had a genuine out-of-body experience. It was like watching a phantom version of a younger self charging an enemy flag. The sameness of it all made me feel like a passenger. My Battlefield exploits now read more like The Myth of Sisyphus than a medal of honor citation.

Despite my optimism for big changes to the series, developer DICE bluffed its hand. The game’s “Grand Operations” mode strings together multiday battles that are supposed to have continuity, but the consequences of winning or losing a match are minor, like adding a little bit of time to the next round. You have to squint to see how Grand Operations differs from the 16-year-old Conquest mode, and other modes like Breakthrough and Domination don’t offer meaningfully different experiences. Battlefield V’s multiplayer is essentially a lot of the same chaos: capture a point, drive a tank, fly a plane, die, repeat. Character customization and progression are tedious and don’t add much to the experience, though I wholeheartedly welcome EA’s confident turn toward inclusiveness. Ultimately, Battlefield is still rock-paper-scissors with explosions — something with exciting moments, but no sense of accomplishment. At least they’re really nice explosions.

As multiplayer shooters are rapidly evolving with the emergence of differentiated battle royale games, Battlefield is no longer an FPS bellwether. I’ve been playing another recently released WWII game, Post Scriptum, which is made by a team of people who, incidentally, started as Battlefield 2 modders. If Battlefield V is a glistening statue, Post Scriptum is a pile of rocks. It’s buggy, clunky, and only for people with the patience for an early access game that might never be finished. It’s also one of the most memorable shooters I’ve played in a while, with moments that I want to run to tell my friends about.

youtube

Post Scriptum is a shooter that lets you do things other than shooting, which I think ought to be the future of every multiplayer game with guns. Its clever trick is using the stakes and atmosphere of a war game to make the non-shooting activities feel genuinely rewarding. Lately, I’ve been obsessed with playing Post Scriptum as Euro Truck Simulator: World War II. As a logistics truck driver, I can ferry supplies to the front line while getting shot at, which lets me be a part of the deadly spectacle of a large-scale battle without killing people. Playing music out of my truck over the game’s local chat is met with laughs and appreciation. It’s something I simply can’t find in a Battlefield game. It’s weird. It’s fun. It makes me smile. I just wish it was made by the artists at DICE.

And then there’s Battlefield V’s single-player campaign, which really surprised me. The “War Stories” format, introduced in 2016’s Battlefield 1, is the smartest attempt at single-player storytelling in war games that I’ve seen. I just wish DICE had made more of them. There are only three war stories to play in Battlefield V, with a fourth coming in December. (Battlefield 1 had six.) Each story takes about an hour to complete, and while they’re hampered by forgettable action sequences, laughable NPC intelligence, and formulaic set pieces, the format still feels like something with great potential.

Instead of playing an untouchable hero who inexplicably massacres hordes of enemies like in so many other shooters, these short stories allow you to be a vulnerable part of war’s death machine, which feels more authentic than getting the costumes right. Battlefield V’s opening sequence achieves this feeling to stunning effect. When you start the game, you jump between characters in rapid succession, often taking the place of someone who just killed you and continuing the fight from their perspective. The opening whisks you from a nighttime raid to a desert ambush and huge aerial battle. I wish the entire game had been like this.

The War Stories format also cleverly echoes the intangible experience of hearing real war stories told, which often walk the line between real historical accounts and tales stretched tall by time. I was impressed by one Battlefield V story about two brothers from West Africa who were sent to France to fight for a colonial power whose land they had never seen. After native French soldiers took their guns and handed them shovels, they had to overcome the racism of their allies before being allowed to achieve glory in battle — only to see themselves erased from history in the story’s epilogue. It’s a tight and powerful single-player story that’s wrapped in the modern context of a veteran reflecting on his long-secret contribution to history. I wanted more like it.

The “Tirailleur” story could have been the model for a deeply felt war game that elevates neglected heroes into popular historical canon. We’ve had decades of interactive Clint Eastwood movies, and so I appreciate DICE’s attempt to break away from tried-and-true narratives, even if it’s clumsy about expressing them in gameplay. I just wish these stories were the centerpiece of a more complete game, not a context wrapper for multiplayer deathmatches.

If the next Battlefield game only has a collection of untold war stories, I don’t think I’ll miss its multiplayer spectacle. After 16 years, I’m ready for my own war story to end and for others to begin.

Battlefield V is available now on PS4, PC, and Xbox One.

Black Friday 2018 deals at Best Buy: OLED TVs, Sonos, Google -- and the best HomePod price ever

New Post has been published on https://www.articletec.com/black-friday-2018-deals-at-best-buy-oled-tvs-sonos-google-and-the-best-homepod-price-ever/

Black Friday 2018 deals at Best Buy: OLED TVs, Sonos, Google -- and the best HomePod price ever

Best Buy

Best Buy’s Black Friday deals have been revealed and there are some good ones available both online and in-store. The big electronics retailer’s official Black Friday sale begins in stores at 5 p.m. Thanksgiving Day (Nov. 22) and runs through Black Friday. Its circular highlights a bunch of the deep discounts on tech like TVs, phones, laptops and smart home gear, and while some are marked “in-store only,” some will also be available online. A handful of discounts, including a great deal on the awesome TCL 6 Series Roku 4K TV, are available now (scroll down).

We’ll be highlighting our favorite deals below. Keep in mind:

When the product exists on BestBuy.com we’ll link to it below, even if the Black Friday sale price isn’t yet available.

While most of these products are from 2018, be aware that some of the discounted products are older models.

Many of the deals are available in other stores; we’ll note those below.

CNET may get a share of revenue from the sale of the products featured below.

To the deals!

Apple HomePod for $250 ($100 off)

Tyler Lizenby/CNET

Apple’s awesome-sounding smart speaker has two major knocks: Siri still isn’t as good a voice assistant as Alexa and Google, and the $350 price is just too high. This Best Buy discount nicely addresses the second issue, getting it to a much more reasonable $250.

This deal will be available in-store on Thanksgiving at 5 p.m. but this price isn’t marked “in-store only,” so it could appear at BestBuy.com as well.

55-inch Sharp 4K Roku TV: $250 (save $200)

Best Buy

Doorbuster (in-store only on Black Friday, Nov. 23, limited quantities)

Did we mention Roku TV? A bit bigger in size and just as huge in savings, this Sharp features the best smart TV system for as low as we’ve ever seen at this price. We haven’t seen the Sharp directly, but the specifications look similar to the 55-inch 55S405 we reviewed in 2017, so expect similar picture quality.

If you don’t want to deal with a doorbuster, BestBuy.com has the set listed for $300 right now, which is still a great price.

See at Best Buy

43-inch Toshiba 4K Amazon Fire Edition TV: $130 (save $150)

Best Buy

Doorbuster (in-store only starting 5 p.m. Thanksgiving Day, Nov. 22, limited quantities)

Going by pure savings, this is arguably the best TV deal at Best Buy for Black Friday 2018. Fire TV isn’t not our favorite smart TV system — that honor goes to Roku — but it’s still very good, and this price is pure insanity. The cheapest 43-inch Roku TV, the 43S305, costs $220, and it’s 1080p, not 4K.

See at Best Buy

65-inch LG OLED65C8P OLED TV: $2,600 (save $100)

Sarah Tew/CNET

This year the discounts on LG’s OLED models aren’t spectacular. Best Buy’s price on the 65-inch C8, the best TV we’ve ever tested, is $100 lower than everyone else’s however. We still recommend the B8 for $100 less, but if you demand the best picture, period, here you go.

This deal will be available in-store on Thanksgiving at 5 p.m. but this price isn’t marked “in-store only,” so it could appear at BestBuy.com as well.

Ring Doorbell 2 + Echo Dot 3rd gen for $140 (save $110)

Best Buy

Doorbuster (Online and in-store starting 5 p.m. Thanksgiving Day, Nov. 22, limited quantities)

Normally $250 for both the Ring 2 and the new Echo Dot, this bundle lets you live the dream of voice-controlled door security — perfect for when that Amazon guy comes knocking.

If you want one now, Best Buy has this deal for $200 including the free Dot, a $50 savings. (Amazon will have this deal, too.)

Sony WH-1000XM2 noise-cancelling headphone: $200 (save $150)

Sarah Tew/CNET

Doorbuster (Online and in-store starting 5 p.m. Thanksgiving Day, Nov. 22, limited quantities)

These headphones came out in 2017 but they still remain one of CNET’s favorite wireless noise-canceling headphones. While the Bose QuietComfort 35 II is lighter and more comfortable to wear, the Sony WH-1000XM2 arguably sounds a tad better and offers more features. And this price is insane.

Sony WH-1000XM2 review

Google Home Hub: $99 (save $50)

Chris Monroe/CNET

Doorbuster (Online and in-store starting 5 p.m. Thanksgiving Day, Nov. 22, limited quantities)

This is Google’s version of the Amazon Echo Show: a smart speaker with a built-in screen that responds to “OK Google” and shows all kinds of useful stuff, from recipes to smart home controls.

This deal is also available at Target, Walmart and elsewhere.

Google Home Mini: $25 (half price)

Chris Monroe/CNET

Doorbuster (Online and in-store starting 5 p.m. Thanksgiving Day, Nov. 22, limited quantities)

Google’s answer to Amazon’s Alexa is a tiny, always-listening speaker that responds to “OK, Google” with everything Google Assistant has to offer. At this price it’s easy to put one in a secondary room.

This deal is also available at Target, Walmart and elsewhere.

Motorola Moto G6: $200 (save $50)

Josh Miller/CNET

This deal is available now at Best Buy.

Our favorite budget phone of 2018 was already a knockout value for $250, but this $200 price is a steal. The unlocked Android handset has dual rear cameras for portrait photos and some nice extra software touches.

LG G7 ThinQ (Sprint): Save $432 on service

Available online and in-store starting Thanksgiving, Nov. 22.

When you buy the high-end G7 at Best Buy and activate it for Sprint’s service, you’ll receive a bill credit over 50 percent. Instead of paying $33 per month for two years, you’ll pay only $15. That’s $18 back for each month of a 24-month installment plan. More details here.

Samsung Galaxy S9, Note 9, S9 Plus: Save $300

James Martin/CNET

Available online and in-store starting Thanksgiving, Nov. 22. Requires activation on AT&T, Sprint or Verizon.

T-Mobile customers won’t be able to benefit from any of Best Buy’s offers, but $300 off any of Samsung’s premium phones is a pretty good deal. The deal requires a qualified activation, and exact pricing on the phones appear to vary based on the carrier.

Google Pixel 3 or 3 XL: Save $200

Sarah Tew/CNET

Available in-store with Verizon activation starting Thanksgiving, Nov. 22.

iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max, iPhone XR: Save $150

Sarah Tew/CNET

In-store only starting 5 p.m. Thanksgiving Day (Nov. 22)

iPad Mini 4: $250 (save $150)

Sarah Tew/CNET

Doorbuster (Online and in-store starting 5 p.m. Thanksgiving Day, Nov. 22, limited quantities)

This iPad is from 2016, and this 128GB version with Wi-Fi is the cheapest available on Apple’s site, but it costs $400 there — making this a pretty sweet deal. We still prefer the new, larger 32GB iPad at Target for the same price, but maybe you want your screen smaller and your storage bigger.

MacBook Air (2017 model): $800 (save $200)

Sarah Tew/CNET

Doorbuster (Online and in-store starting 5 p.m. Thanksgiving Day, Nov. 22, limited quantities)

The new MacBook Air starts at $1,200 and this older version sells for $1,000 at Apple’s website, so the savings is substantial. This is the base configuration with 128GB storage, 8GB RAM and a Core i5 processor. It goes on sale pretty frequently, but this is still the lowest price we’ve seen.

Sad goodbyes and compromise - An introduction

So after many years of working full time during the day and playing Xbox during the evening, my girlfriend suggested that I get out of my south London comfort zone and go travelling with her. Now to answer your immediate question, no I did not give her the boot. I packed up my Xbox One, gave it to a good friend (for safekeeping) who hadn't yet bought a next gen console and embarked on my 14 month trip. The original plan was to live and work in Sydney, Australia for 9 months, then travel across Oz, New Zealand, the US and Canada. 18 months later I'm living and working in Wellington, New Zealand as we quickly realised we'd need to work for longer to fund our trip.

Have I been completely deprived of gaming in that time? Of course not. What do you take me for? The only piece of hardware I took with me was my 2012 MacBook Pro, a less than ideal gaming platform. I downloaded several of the Total War series to keep me going. I got really into the 17th century setting and line infantry style of Napoleon TW and Empire TW and put a lot of time into the wonderful Shogun 2 TW. However, it was February 2016 and the release of Dark Souls 3 loomed on the horizon.

I've been a fan of the series for a while and I knew I had to find a way to play it. A console purchase seemed unwise as I knew I'd be moving on in the not so distant future. So I looked over DS3's system requirements on Steam and decided that was my best option. I purchased a Dualshock 4, upgraded my RAM and bootcamped my MacBook, all the while knowing it might end in tears and wasted money. But it didn't. I was able to play through DS3, battling Lothric's toughest foes as well as some horrendous frame drops that would kick me into offline mode. I got to play it and after 230 hours I was happy, despite the game's lukewarm narrative. Knowing my Mac's capabilities I played through Dark Souls, Dark Souls 2 and Fallout New Vegas again and was satisfied. But then I started thinking about what I missed about having a console. I'd missed out on the release of Overwatch and Battlefield 1 and I longed for the carnage of Los Santos International Airport that I would frequent regularly with my pals.

After deciding that we would be staying in Wellington for at least another year I decided to set aside some cash and treat myself to a new console. I fought off the temptation to buy a Nintendo Switch and settled on buying a Playstation 4. I remain keen on a Switch but I think I’ll wait until the lineup of titles is a bit more fleshed out. I could have easily bought another Xbox One but went for the PS4 in the end for one reason. Exclusives. I did some shopping around and found a bundle I liked the look of. A 1TB PS4 Slim with Mass Effect Andromeda and a choice of two additional games from a group of six. I selected the Bloodborne Game of the Year edition (easy choice) and The Last Guardian, a game that i knew little about but who’s aesthetic had caught my eye.

So this my situation. I’d like to keep a little weekly journal of what I’ve been playing as well as giving my thoughts on games as I finish them. As many of these games are years old at this point I’d like to think these are more second opinions than reviews. I hope you enjoy.
