[CONFIRMED] Star Wars Battlefront 2 confirmed in 2017

With one of the most lucrative IP licenses under its belt, Electronic Arts understandably intends to pump out as many Star Wars games as it can. During an earnings call today, the publisher's chief financial officer Blake Jorgensen confirmed that EA intends to release a new Star Wars game every year from 2017 onwards – for at least the next three to four years.

Speaking more specifically, it looks like another Star Wars Battlefront game will release as soon as 2017. "Next year we’ll see Star Wars Battlefront back with bigger and better worlds, because we now have the new movies to work off  not just the historical movies that we used before," Jorgensen said.

Of course, there are other Star Wars games in the offing: Visceral's contributionto the canon will resemble the aborted Star Wars 1313 project – basically an Uncharted-esque cinematic third-person action game – and will be a collaboration with EA's Motive studio, which is helmed by former Assassin's Creed producer Jade Raymond. Jorgensen says that game will release "most likely the following year."

[CONFIRMED] Mass Effect: Andromeda releases 2017

BioWare General Manager Aaryn Flynn has confirmed that Mass Effect: Andromeda won't be out until early 2017. That release window actually came to light earlier this year by way of CFO Blake Jorgensen's address at the Morgan Stanley Technology, Media, and Telecom Conference, but now it's official. 

“We’re building the best of what we all love about Mass Effect—amazing stories, characters, and fun third-person shooter combat—and bringing them along with us on the expedition to Andromeda,” Flynn wrote. “But we’re also excited to be introducing new features and ways you can enjoy a Mass Effect game.” said Bioware General Manager.

Details on how exactly that will be accomplished are predictably thin—more freedom, new worlds, allies, and enemies, and of course the power of the Frostbite engine—but playtesting is “showing us that we’re taking the game in the right direction,” he continued. “But we also know we need the right amount of time to make sure we deliver everything the game can be and should be—that’s our commitment from all of us to all of you. Because of that, Mass Effect: Andromeda will now ship in early 2017.”

[RELEASED]Fallout 4: Far Harbor trailer released

At last, the big one is almost upon us: Far Harbor, the full-size expansion for Fallout 4. Bumper size, even—Bethesda says that Far Harbor has the largest landmass of any Bethesda add-on ever. That makes it a welcome change from the light fluff of Automatron and the wholly skippable Wasteland Workshop. More content does mean more cash however, and if you don't own the season pass, Far Harbor will cost you £20. You'll ship out to an island off the coast of Maine, a region that's come out of the war far worse than the Commonwealth. Deathclaws are cute radioactive puppies compared to what's been mutating in Far Harbor. Add to that the ever-pesky Children of Atom, synths and unfriendly locals, and you've got yourself the worst possible summer holiday. Apart from caravanning. Far Harbor is out May 19.


Here is the awaited trailer:

[EXPANSION] The Witcher 3: Blood and Wine

Blood and Wine has an impressive stat sheet: 90 new quests, 20 new monsters, 100 pieces of armour, an upgradeable vineyard, new mutations. It feels like a proper extension of the main game, complete with a twisting core tale of royalty and monsters. The setup is simple: Duchess Anna Henrietta summons Geralt to Toussaint to solve a series of brutal murders, inducting him into an alien world of good wine and summer tourneys. Blood and Wine has an impressive stat sheet: 90 new quests, 20 new monsters, 100 pieces of armour, an upgradeable vineyard, new mutations. It feels like a proper extension of the main game, complete with a twisting core tale of royalty and monsters. The setup is simple: Duchess Anna Henrietta summons Geralt to Toussaint to solve a series of brutal murders, inducting him into an alien world of good wine and summer tourneys. 

There's an entertaining friction between Geralt's personality and the Toussaint's lavish customs. It's a classic fish-out-of-water story told well. From Blood and Wine's opening moments, Geralt must wrestle with the florid language of the Duchess' protectors. Events conspire to force Geralt into a sunset festival at the Duchess' gorgeous castle. The guests scoff and laugh at his boorishness. Even the taverns of Toussaint are different. In one, the bartender is outraged when Geralt asks him for local gossip. On the way out, a man at a nearby table mutters to himself, “A well-composed pâté, I must admit!” We're not in Velen anymore, Toto. Blood and Wine is a fine showcase for a team at the peak of their abilities. Characterisation is swift and vivid, and the laid-back tone contrasts well with the grim intensity of Velen and the lonely, beautiful crags of Skellige. In less than an hour I'm enjoying the company of the honourable duo, Palmerin and Milton. The Duchess is a no-nonsense problem-solving machine. Knight Guillant constantly performs daring deeds to impress a lady at court, but is completely useless at it. It's a brilliant balance of comedy, high-fantasy fun and darkened by sudden moments of violence. 

Here is a trailer of it:

[UPDATE] Fallout 4 with New Mods

This week, Fallout 4 gets a dynamic depth of field mod that changes depending on what you're looking at, plus a nifty configuration tool that lets you pop a holotape into your Pip-Boy and change the settings while in-game.

This mod provides a convincing dynamic depth of field that changes depending on what you're looking at. There's a documentary-length video to see how it works, and in an extremely clever touch you can edit the mod settings while in-game by inserting a holotape in your Pip-Boy and fiddling with the settings.

[RELEASE] Free Overwatch Beta From 5th to 9th May

The Overwatch “head start” for people who have preordered the game is set to begin tomorrow, leading into an all-access open beta which will run from May 5-9. And that means it's time for a stirring message from the ultra-intelligent simian named Winston, who wants the former members of the team to know that they can still make a difference.  

The video provides a very brief, rough breakdown of the state of the world leading into Overwatch, including the creation of the team, its dissolution, and what Winston obviously hopes will be its reformation. It's cute, and even though I don't think the plot is an essential element of the game—it's a team-based FPS, after all—it's as well-produced as you'd expect from Blizzard.  

Each phase of the open beta will go live at the same time, meaning that in our neck of the woods, the early access period will actually begin at 4 pm PDT on May 2 (just a couple of hours from now, in fact), while the all-access portion will kick off at 4 pm PDT on May 4. The full schedule, along with installation and play instructions, is on battle.net.

[LAUNCH]Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare Is Coming On PS4 this NOV.

The Call of Duty franchise has revealed the trailer of Infinite Warfare. The trailer speaks for it self that the game is placed in very far in future. The game is based on fully sci-fi setting. The fighting areas are also much more advanced than the Advance Warfare as seen. Fighting on the ground and space, piloting vehicles is also new to COD. 

Here is the reveled trailer:
   

Infinite Warfare represents a departure for us in several ways. This will be Infinity Ward’s first Call of Duty to benefit from a full three-year development timeline. That means we’re bringing an ambitious approach and employing state-of-the-art design methods during our development. We’ll also have a little extra time for even more of the high-quality polish and refinement to make this game everything it can be. 

Infinite Warfare will redefine what players think of as the traditional narrative experience for the franchise. Human conflict under extreme pressure unpacks character personalities, character depth, and story in a manner that few games have explored. Our goal is to create the most gripping and immersive story ever told in a Call of Duty game. We’re doing that by thrusting players into wartime leadership against a relentless enemy, and making them truly feel the weight of command.

Finally, Infinite Warfare will be the first game in the franchise to venture beyond the reaches of Earth, framing a plausible future war in our solar system. To be clear, we aren’t developing a science fiction or space battle game — Infinite Warfare is first and foremost a Call of Duty game, which means visceral boots-on-the-ground infantry combat as well as piloting combat vehicles. But, by expanding the scope of the action into the vastness of space, we are taking this experience to exciting and surprising places in many ways.

Next Hitman is on DirectX 12

Earlier this week, Square Enix released their second installment of the latest Hitman, Sapienza. As one of the hardware geeks at PC Gamer, I'd been meaning to check into the DirectX 12 performance of the few games that currently support the new API. Hitman is one of them. With the second episode now out, it seemed like a good time to go run some tests. 

On April 26, right after the update to Sapienza, things were going okay. I started with Nvidia cards, since those were installed in my testbed, and I got numbers for DX11 and DX12 with the GTX 980 Ti. I also ran 980 Ti SLI, which not surprisingly showed that there's currently no support for multiple GPUs in the DX12 path. Nvidia's 980 Ti wasn't showing any benefit from switching to DX12, with performance slightly slower in DX12 mode and more stuttering (particularly at the start of the test sequence), but otherwise all was going according to plan.

Day two, there was an update in Steam, which I figured I should grab in case it fixed anything. There was a new graphics option (Ultra quality Level of Detail), and using that (instead of High LoD) resulted in lower performance for both DX11 and DX12. I tossed out my initial benchmark data and started again. Day three, Steam informed me there was yet another update. Sigh. So I grabbed that and prepared to restart all of my testing yet again.

Asemblance Debuts Next Month on PS4

It’s the first episode of an expansive franchise inspired by The Twilight Zone, The X-Files, and the Black Mirror television series. These series show a unique ability to pull the viewer into a narrative that isn’t always logical and keeps you engaged by asking what is really true. We’ve also found inspiration in games that allow players to explore different theories and ultimately engage one another to learn the truth. We were inspired by this approach to create a narrative where you’re never quite sure what’s real or what’s not. We hope we’ve accomplished that in Asemblance.
We’re just about done with development and are currently optimizing the game, polishing the audio design, and adding the final touches to the game’s multilayered narrative.

[COMPARISION] Counter Strike 1.6 PC vs Android Port

How would you like to play one of the most popular PC games of all time on your Android device? Well, how about Counter Strike on Android? Of course, this isn’t going to be the latest Counter Strike Global Offensive with the Source Engine. It’s going to be the old school original counter strike 1.6, yup, the old awesome FPS is available on Android.

Since I am also a fanatic die hard player of CS, I thought of comparing both the experiences on PC and Mobile. So, here is kind of review/comparison of both gameplays.

How To Install CS on Android:   

To install CS you will be needing the following files-

•  Counter Strike Original game files
•  Android CSClient
•  Xash3D

Now install the Xash3D and CSClient app on your device. Now create a folder "xash" in the root directory. Copy the "valve" and "cstrike" folder from the original game files to this folder. 

Open CSClient app and click on the "Launch CS16" button.

ENJOY!!!         ENJOY!!!          ENJOY!!!

CS 1.6 PC Play:   

As usual the gameplay on PC is fantastic as always. Even though the graphics are no comparison to latest CS: GO but even through can't stop my hands.

CS 1.6 Android Play:

The game is same as original but the controls suck and it is just a mark that CS 1.6 is available on android devices with original gameplay. The developer has made a dream come true along with multiplayer which not exactly functions and no bots just solo play.

Deus Ex: Mankind Divided - The Perfect RPG

The new trailer of Deus Ex: Mankind Divided is out.

10 ways how does Deus Ex: Mankind Divided perfect the action-RPG:

1. Deus Ex is all about letting you play the way you want. Combat, stealth, hacking, and social approaches will always be at your disposal to tackle your objectives.
2. Every choice you make in the game will have a consequence, and every decision you make will ultimately have an impact on the ending you witness.
3. Adam Jensen will have a whole new set of augmentations, and it’ll be up to you to choose which ones to invest in to support your play style.
4. Weapons are now customizable on the fly with different attachments and ammo types.
5. Our team has taken a lot of care to craft meaningful side quests. No generic objectives and situations here — every one of our side quests will introduce you to different characters and their own stories, and involve moral choices.
6. Dialogue choices are also an important social feature in the game, with one augmentation providing you with information on how to best handle certain conversations to reach your objective.
7. Our hacking mini-game comes with a slew of new possibilities. We’re also introducing a remote hacking augmentation, which lets you manipulate certain devices on the fly.
8. The game will take you to diverse locations around the world. So far, we’ve revealed Dubai, Prague, and a fictional ghetto called Golem City. Dense and rich environments are our motto.
9. Layers are at the core of our music system, which will dynamically adapt to what you will be doing in the world — exploration, infiltration, combat, and so on.
10. When you finish the game, you’ll be able to access the New Game Plus mode. In this mode, we’ll encourage you to make different choices and mix up your play style to experience what you might have missed the first time around.
