RECREATE THE F2™ 2020 SEASON NOW IN F1® 2020 Free Update Available on All Platforms

Sydney, Australia – Thursday 10th December 2020– After the 2020 FIA Formula 2 Championship™ went down to the thrilling final race weekend in Bahrain, Codemasters allows players to re-write history with a free F2™ 2020 season update as part of F1® 2020, the official videogame of the 2020 FIA FORMULA ONE WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP™. Players can now compete with the full 2020 line-up featuring all 11 teams, cars, and drivers including the new FIA Formula 2™ Champion, Mick Schumacher.

The F2™ game option replicates its real-world counterpart with 12 weekends each made up of two races. The first, known as the Feature Race, follows a standard format with drivers lining up based on their qualifying times, and points awarded to the top 10 placings. The second, Sprint Race, sees the Feature Race top eight positions reversed in a shorter race, with fewer points awarded to the top eight drivers. For both, there are two additional points available for the fastest lap.

“Having witnessed an incredible end of season battle between Mick Schumacher and Callum Ilott, we’re delighted to give players the free F2™ 2020 Season update,” said Lee Mather, F1® Franchise Game Director at Codemasters. “F2™ has proved very popular with our players since its debut in F1® 2019, and we know they will enjoy re-writing recent history with the free 2020 update.”

F1® 2020 is the most comprehensive F1® game to date. With two new circuits, the introduction of driver-manager feature, My Team, improved on-track options, split-screen and more, F1® 2020 caters for race fans of all levels and experience. A free trial version of the game was recently released for PlayStation®4 and Xbox One, and can be downloaded here:

13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim Review

13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim Review

13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim

Developer: Vanillaware
Publisher: Atlus
Platform: PlayStation 4
Release Date: Available Now
Price: $59.99 – Available Here

Overview

Vanillaware has come to be known for developing gorgeously drawn tightly controlled action games so when it was revealed that 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim would be something entirely different, many wondered just what to expect from the team. To make things worse, the developer went dark for quite some time to work on the game before once again revealing it to the world and surprising many by revealing that it would not only be shifting its entire genre away from the action game that many would have expected but would also feature an intricate storyline unlike any previous game from the developer. Have the ambitious developers of Vanillaware managed to create another great title for their lineup or is 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim a step too far?

Story

Having strange dreams of battling against Kaiju with a giant robot wouldn’t seem too odd to an average 1985 high school boy who loves to watch classic movies but when these dreams seem to constantly persist and even appear to feature some of his classmates in them, Juro Kurabe begins to think that things are getting a little strange. Of course, when he ends up accidentally summoning the same giant mech from his dream in the middle of the city only for his friend to act like he is being dumb for bringing out his “Sentinel” randomly, that is only the tip of the iceberg.

13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim tells perhaps one of the most complex types of narratives that a video game can have as it does not feature a sole main protagonist and instead constantly features a shifting perspective that moves the story along through different characters’ viewpoints and even their points in time. Things may seem crazy in 1985 only for it to jump back to World War era Japan and even into a futuristic modern world with there being very little time to catch up and get a handle on things. The reason for this is because players are meant to be kept in the dark for the most part as all thirteen of the playable characters have their own unique viewpoints, “thoughtclouds,” and even story progression with some of this story advancement being limited depending on how far the player has managed to get into the storyline of another character.

In an effort to avoid spoiling things as much as possible, especially given some of the significant events that take place over the course of the game, we’ll be trying to stay as vague as possible, players will find each of their characters undergoing their very own narrative arc throughout the course of the game and while some are clearly better than others, there is no weak story among the many threads that are spun here. It also helps that these storylines are all interwoven with one another in various ways that help keep players interested even if they are using a character that isn’t one of their personal favorites.

That being said, it is interesting to note that thanks to the way the game’s story is designed with Remembrance being the core storyline mode, players will often need to make use of the game’s ability to select “episodic” sequences to try and unlock various key words that enter a character’s aforementioned “thought cloud” that can then be used to trigger an event that may have kept another character’s story from advancing. This can be a bit rough at times especially if the player ends up struggling to figure out exactly what they might be missing to unlock the next bit of storyline but does make sense overall given how important some of these sequences can end up being.

By telling an incredibly engaging storyline that, might start slow but quickly hooks your attention once the twists start happening, 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim does an amazing job handling its unique cast of characters and interwoven storyline that features so many different elements of sci-fi built upon one another all circulating around a world-changing mystery that is all held together by an amazingly written narrative handled expertly by a great translation team, especially when one considers how massive the amount of text this game features throughout its lengthy campaign.

Gameplay

For the most part, players will be spending the majority of their time in 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim in the “Remembrance” gameplay mode that serves as the game’s story and sees players controlling one of the thirteen main characters at a time. These characters move around a 2D side-scrolling plane and can talk with other NPCs, observe the environment, and gather items or subjects for the “thought cloud” which can then be used to talk to another NPC or use said item with something. When the player manages to find the right solution to the current objective, sometimes simply talking to enough characters being the task at hand. Of course the bulk of the time spent in this mode will then be spent listening to the massive dialogue sequences that play out between characters.

The other half of the game is oddly enough the weaker side of things, the giant mechs battling against the Kaiju forces that appear no matter what year or character the player is currently controlling. This mode happens to be Destruction and, unfortunately rather than featuring highly detailed models or designs, is set on an overhead map of the city and plays out similar to a turn-based tower defense game with players using their selected team of available Sentinels to take down any enemies that are trying to attack the designated defense point.

The player’s Sentinels and enemy Kaiju are represented through simple icons on a map and each character and enemy type has their own strengths and weaknesses with some foes being capable of flight, others being stronger in melee, and more while the player needs to customize their team to best take down the various threats that come their way. These battles generally don’t come off as difficult if the player is vaguely familiar with the genre but players can turn the difficulty up if they want more challenging battles. 

That being said, completing battles is another requirement to advance through the story, often with major revelations happening before and after key battles, so the ability to take things easy is nice for those who want to enjoy a sci-fi mystery and not be punished for not expecting a tower defense style game but it would have been nice to see some more variety or unique elements implemented here given the mech themes.

Visuals & Audio

If there is one thing that Vanillaware has become known for, it is creating gorgeous hand-drawn looking characters and backgrounds for their games and that remains true for 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim. All of the characters have unique enough designs, some of which are quite pretty, to stand out from one another to avoid players from mixing them up and the various designs of the environments and world in the 2D planes are quite a sight to behold. It is worth noting that there is even fan-service for everyone here as, for reasons that cannot be stated, whenever a character is piloting their Sentinel they do so completely naked and while there is nothing explicitly shown, this is a nice touch for fans of such things. Unfortunately the same level of detail is not carried over to the battle side of things as, while the mech designs overall are neat, the battles themselves lack any real noticeable flair outside of a few flashier attacks and the lack of proper overworld designs and a bland map, it is a real disappointment.

Players will have the option of playing 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim with either the original Japanese voice track or the English voice cast at will and can swap between them anytime in the options menu. Despite having to release the English dub later, the voice cast has performed admirably with their characters here and fit the theme of the game and the extreme jumps in logic and twists that it takes quite well.

Overall

Vanillaware has always known to provide plenty of substance with their style but now with 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim the company has proven that they can tell an engaging and riveting storyline that will keep players hooked wanting to unravel more of its mysteries even while the perspectives continue to shift and the plot thickens across the numerous playable characters all with their own unique stories to tell.

Players Drive Record Engagement as Xbox Expands Cloud Gaming to More Devices in 2021

by Jerret West, CVP, Microsoft Gaming 

Thanks to you, we’ve kicked off a new generation of gaming and can now share more about what comes next in 2021. If the last year has taught us anything about the future, it’s that the joy of play and its power to connect us to family, friends and newly joining members of Xbox is something to be cherished and shared.

Your overwhelming response to the launch of Xbox Series X|S has been staggering and heartening at the same time. We can’t wait for everyone who wants to experience gaming on Xbox Series X and Series S to do so and are working with our retail partners to replenish stock as quickly as we can.

As we look at how we define success at the start of a new generation for gaming, we can think of none better than more and more players connecting with their friends and discovering games they love. It’s the billions of hours and over 3,800 different games you played in the last month that is the foundation for our success at Xbox.

You’re also getting the most out of the Xbox Game Pass library – compared to the prior year, in November, Xbox Game Pass monthly engagement more than doubled. We also saw:

  • Over 1.6 million seamless upgrades delivered to Xbox Series X|S owners with Smart Delivery.
  • Over 40% of you joining Xbox for the first time are playing on Xbox Series S.
  • One of the fastest selling Xbox Series X|S markets out of 40+ launch regions, Europe saw record sell-outs in a matter of hours across the UK, France and Germany.
  • During November, Xbox Game Pass members played more of their favourites, including, Destiny 2: Beyond Light, Rainbow Six: Siege, Tetris Effect Connected, and Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order with EA Play on Xbox Game Pass Ultimate.

So, what’s next?

Cloud gaming (beta) with Xbox Game Pass Ultimate coming to iOS and PC in 2021

Expanding Xbox to new players is central to our ambition of helping games and developers find an easy path to the world’s 3 billion gamers. We are doing this by embracing multiple devices and providing a consistent Xbox experience wherever you log in, whether that’s on your Xbox Series X|S, PC, Xbox One, Android device or – starting in Spring 2021 – your Windows PC and iOS device from the cloud.

In Spring 2021, we will take the next step in our journey to reach more players around the world by making cloud gaming as part of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate available on Windows PCs through the Xbox app and browser, and iOS devices through mobile web browser. By adding over a billion devices as a path to playing in the Xbox ecosystem, we envision a seamless experience for all types of players; whether it’s playing Minecraft Dungeons with your Xbox friends using touch controls on an iPhone or jumping into a Destiny 2: Beyond Light strike on a Surface Pro when you have a break between meetings.

Whatever screen you choose, we want to make it easy to continue your game and connect with your friends. 

Finally, we’ll bring cloud gaming with Xbox Game Pass Ultimate to new markets, including Australia, Brazil, Japan and Mexico, where we recently began our limited Project xCloud preview program.

We can’t wait to share more early next year about our cloud gaming ambitions and how you can expect to take your gaming experiences further.

Game creators dream big on Xbox

No matter the year, it’s always about the games. In 2021, creators around the world will tap deeper into the power of Xbox Series X|S and bring a massive variety of content to Xbox players.

From Xbox Game Studios, 2021 will see the Master Chief’s return in Halo Infinite, a new brain-bending odyssey in Psychonauts 2, and some surprises we haven’t announced yet. Your favourite games will also continue to grow with you, with 30 pieces of new content coming to several of our franchises next half, including Forza, Sea of Thieves, Grounded and much more. Looking further ahead, you will also hear more from teams across Xbox Game Studios and Bethesda.

Next year we also plan to officially welcome the Bethesda team, creator of critically acclaimed and best-selling gaming franchises like The Elder Scrolls, Fallout and Doom, to the Xbox family. With their help, Xbox will grow from 15 to 23 creative studio teams in 2021, all forging a future of games fit for a world of different players.

We anticipate this to be the most exciting generation yet for developers and players alike, with something for every kind of gamer. While we have so much more in store, both from our talented partners and our creative teams at Microsoft, here’s a small taste of new games that have been announced as coming to Xbox in 2021, including those that will also be playable with Xbox Game Pass:
