Deathmatch Creator Update 

Starting today, players can use the Deathmatch Creator to build out tons of new game types and modes with a slew of additions to the tool. The Deathmatch Creator Tutorial has been updated to guide you through the new additions, which include customization and modification options to define player inventories, alter team balancing, control starting health, hide player blips, change movement speeds and much, much more. You can even use new Modifier Sets to shrink play areas over time and gain health or other items as you score a kill.

To showcase what these new tools are capable of, we’ve published six new Deathmatches made using the updated Creator, now playable in-game:

Big Shot: You’ve got just one gun, one bullet, and one shot to kill your foes. Taking out an enemy will reward you with another bullet, but you can also scavenge from fallen fighters. The first team to reach the target score wins.

Speed Kills: Balance is crucial in this mode where the first team to reach the target score wins. One moves quickly while carrying slow-firing weapons; the other moves slowly but carry weapons with faster rates-of-fire.

Hot Swap: Racking up the highest score you can in a five-minute window sounds simple, but things can get complicated when the weapon in your hand keeps changing. Transferable skills have never been so important.

Dead Head: Take out your enemies to earn points — headshots earn bonus points. Precision is the key component.

Sumo Crush: This free-for-all Sumo variation is all about momentum: force your competition out of the area to score points. Last one standing wins.

Friendly Fire: This one’s simple, but with a twist: kill the enemies, and stop them from wiping out your team to earn points. Here’s the catch: killing your own teammates gives you a bonus. Can you wipe out the enemy team before they wipe out each other?

Announcing the Winner of the Sprunk vs. eCola Showdown

Well, the dust has settled, and the branding exercise of the century is over. It’s been a dog-eat-dog competition out there: red and green doing battle on the streets over the past month in the Sprunk vs. eCola showdown.

Diehard soda fans guzzled a ridiculous amount of cans, claimed millions of bodysuits, transformed their cars into speeding billboards, and raced to photo finishes in the Southern San Andreas Super Sport Series to prove their allegiance. But only one brand can come out on top.

Ultimately, eCola fans came out and showed up in greater numbers — proving this beverage is truly Deliciously Infectious! As a result, all players will receive the eCola Parachute Bag, eCola Jacket, and eCola Cap upon logging into GTA Online this week.Meanwhile, everyone who played GTA Online at any point during the Sprunk vs. eCola showdown will receive a GTA$300,000 bonus automatically wired to their Maze Bank account (delivered within 72 hours of logging in).

Premium Deluxe Motorsport Showroom

The Sprunk vs. eCola showdown may be over, but you can still visit Simeon’s showroom this week and peruse a selection of themed vehicles sourced in a totally legitimate and legal fashion:

• A Classic Garnet Red Dinka Veto Modern equipped with the eCola livery
• A Classic Red Vapid Peyote Gasser complete with the Blacktop Burner livery
• The Annis Hellion painted Pearlescent Torino Red and wrapped in the Nightmare livery
• A Metallic Bright Green version of the Weeny Issi Sport (50% off) in a White Stripes livery
• The Obey Omnis in a tasteful shade of Matte Green and the Classic Rally livery

Luxury Autos Showroom
Stop by the Luxury Autos Showroom – located just across the street from Record A Studios in Rockford Hills – to get a closer look at the Benefactor SM722, painted a Classic Garnet Red and decked out in the Speed Livery, and the Classic Green Pegassi Tezeract (30% off) wrapped in the Sprunk Livery, and purchase either or both vehicles outright.

Bonuses for Offloading Special Cargo

Academics and PhDs consider economics a “soft science,” but the market’s whims hit different in Los Santos. Case in point: is your Warehouse filled with valuable contraband? Don’t let it sit idly by gathering dust — offload it in Special Cargo Sell Missions.

Completing a Special Cargo Sale will earn you a special GTA$250k bonus, while completing 3 will get you an additional GTA$250K (bonuses delivered within 72 hours of completion). Plus, get a 50% discount this week on sourced cargo from Lupe. 

3X GTA$ and RP on Southern San Andreas Super Sport Series

Make the most of it by ensuring those sponsor decals are secured in place and heading to the starting line to earn your prize purse: all participants in the Southern San Andreas Super Sports Series will earn 3X GTA$ and RP until the end of this week.

Only on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S

Visit Hao at the LS Car Meet to check out this week’s Premium Test Ride: the Principe Deveste Eight, an already formidable hypercar augmented with additional upgrades of questionable legality.

TOKYO – 15 Sept., 2022 – NeverAwake, the nightmarish twin-stick shoot ‘em up set in a world of a young girl’s fears and horrors, from developer Neotro Inc. and publisher Phoenixx, takes on a realm of nightmares on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch on Thursday, 19 Jan., 2023, as revealed during Tokyo Game Show.

Childhood nightmares will last forever, thanks to a physical release in Western territories through a partner to be announced later and in Eastern regions through Happinet. Physical preorders will open in the coming months for Vermillion Gate Grand Prize winner at BitSummit 2022, Japan’s most prestigious indie game festival. Bedtime comes first for PC sleepers, with a Steam version for PC arriving on Wednesday, 28 Sept. 

Explore the nightmares of Rem, a little girl shackled in her nightmares by her fear of vegetables, dentists, and her classmates. She summons up the internal strength to fight against her tormentors, wielding a demonic, dragon-shaped gun that can vanquish these twisted abominations. Square off against giant, grotesque bosses, all hand-animated with incredible detail.

Fight against waves of imaginary monsters in more than 80 looping, side-scrolling levels, dodging, aiming, and shooting in 360-degree combat to defeat enemies, and collect the souls of defeated monsters to complete each level. Failing to collect 100 percent souls on the first loop leads to more dangerous levels on the next loop. Spend collected souls on upgrades and a temporary powerup to make the stage easier if things get too nightmarish.

“I wanted to make a shooter that would not only be accessible to those who already enjoy fast-paced shooters, but those who are less skilled and just want to enjoy the art and atmosphere,” said Hiroshi Sawatari, founder, Neotro Inc. “But make no mistake, those who want a challenge from NeverAwake can find plenty of features like branching paths and high score leaderboards to get the most out of the game.”

New Threats Rise in Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak Title Update 2

Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak opened the TGS2022 Capcom Online Program with a fiery new trailer of the rising threats facing Elgado Outpost, and the new tools at hunters’ disposal when Title Update 2 arrives on September 29. The previously announced return of Flaming Espinas from Monster Hunter™ Frontier sets the stage for another blazing beast’s reveal: Violet Mizutsune. This creature’s alluring bubbles are actually filled with a highly combustible gas that can turn any graceful movement into an inferno of white-hot flame. Finally, an Elder Dragon capable of overcoming the affliction has been sighted. Risen Chameleos has managed to achieve symbiosis with the Qurio, and through this diabolical union has gained incredible power and even more devious attacks. Hunters bold enough to challenge these overwhelming foes will receive materials for crafting new weapons and armor complete with new skills.

Additionally, a new tier of Anomaly Quests will be added, and will include challenging targets like Gore Magala and Espinas. Anomaly Investigations are also being expanded, with an increased level cap of 120, and new afflicted materials. Hunters crafty enough to survive the challenge will be able to unlock new options for Qurious Crafting, including added Anomaly Slots and other new upgrades for weapons. Fashion Hunters also have reason to rejoice, as Title Update 2 will introduce layered weapons. This system enables hunters to change the appearance of their weapon to combine their favorite stats and designs. Finally, this update also includes new paid DLC such as the Master Arlow layered armor set, layered weapons, gestures, poses, hairstyles, and more.

New Event Quests will continue to arrive every week, and A-List Hunters eager for even more challenges can look forward to future title updates, as new monsters and more are just around the corner with Title Update 3 launching in late November.

Spacetime Distortions Unleash New Exoprimal Story, Dinosaur, Exosuit Reveals

Exoprimal summoned a swarm of updates from a mysterious vortex in the sky, including exciting new story and gameplay details about the upcoming team-based action game.

The Tokyo Game Show trailer introduced two new dinosaurs: the venom-spitting dilophosaurus and the carnotaurus, a massive beast that charges headlong into melee with its brutal horns. Players will take on these threats with a range of cutting-edge combat armor. This advanced arsenal includes a pair of newly-revealed Exosuits. Skywave is a Support type that can fly, heal allies, and obstruct its adversaries’ vision and movement. Meanwhile, the samurai-inspired Tank model Murasame can guard against assaults from all sides before unleashing powerful counterattacks with its katana, Kiri-Ichimonji.

Players can tailor-make their Exosuits with a myriad of weapon and suit skins, decals, charms, and more. A variety of emote choices offer ways to interact with teammates. There is even gear to enhance Exosuit performance. Modules grant bonuses like faster reload speeds, and Rigs arm players with extra abilities, such as the new Blade Rig with its paralyzing electromagnetic shuriken. Customization options even extend to the main protagonist, Ace, who can be fully personalized with the character creator.

Ace’s story begins in 2043, after dinosaur outbreaks engulf the globe. The transport plane carrying their Exofighter unit, the Hammerheads, crash-lands on Bikitoa Island. There, they are forced to compete against hordes of dinosaurs and squads of fellow Exofighters in wargames hosted by the A.I. Leviathan. Not everyone on the island is necessarily an enemy, though. The Hammerheads receive help from a pilot known as Magnum, who shares his knowledge about the deadly situation they find themselves in. Perhaps by working together they can find a way to survive and escape.

Exoprimal launches in 2023 for PlayStation®5, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation®4, Xbox One, and Steam.
