LET’S RACE TOGETHER F1® 2020 OUT NOW

Codemasters® celebrates the launch of F1® 2020, the official videogame of the 2020 FIA FORMULA ONE WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP for PlayStation®4 computer entertainment system, the Xbox One family of devices including the Xbox One X, Windows PC (via Steam), and Google Stadia.  With two new circuits, the introduction of driver-manager feature, My Team, improved on-track options, and the reintroduction of split-screen and more, F1® 2020 caters for race fans of all levels and experience. Currently tracking as one of the highest-rated games of the year according to aggregator site, Metacritic, the F1® 2020 launch trailer can be viewed here.

New simplified menus and assists enable drivers to spend more time competing and less time in the gravel. On-track improvements include ERS activation, which, as in real-life, is now a simple button press, and the introduction of the virtual rear-view mirror. Following its success last season, F2 returns with three-race, half and full season options. The F2 2020 season update will be added later in the year as a free digital download.

To celebrate the Seventieth Anniversary of Formula 1®, fans who purchase F1® 2020 Seventy Edition will receive exclusive in-game items such as podium emotes, car livery and team colours. For fans of Michael Schumacher, a separate Deluxe Schumacher Edition is also available with additional in-game content and four iconic cars from his legendary career. Both editions come with added virtual currency which can unlock Podium Pass VIP. Players can race, earn and unlock more cosmetic items and collect enough currency for the following VIP season.

My Team, a new driver-manager feature, gives players the opportunity to create a new Formula 1® team and take their place alongside the established 2020 driver line-up. From car design to hiring a team-mate and finding sponsors, players now have the added pressure of making sure everything runs smoothly both off and on the track. Players can also choose from the original full 22 race season, and shorter 10 and 16 race season options in both My Team and the 10-season Career.

F1® 2020 features all 10 teams, 20 drivers and cars from the 2020 season. The latest car liveries and team colours, including Mercedes AMG Petronas, will be added as a free digital update.

“F1® 2020 is two years in the making, and we are excited with the level of innovation for players of all levels,” said Lee Mather, F1® Franchise Game Director at Codemasters. “Whether someone wants a split-screen battle with friends, a 10-race season or a full driver-manager experience, F1® 2020 gives players the option to race their way.”

Coming to PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch this summer, HyperBrawl Tournament lets you smash, brawl and score your way to victory in relentless, high-adrenaline PvP arena battles for 1-4 players.

This video details the ins and outs of HyperBrawl Tournament, as players master the HyperCurve to change the trajectory of their shots, and the channel the HyperForce to power up their offensive capabilities and launch their opponents out of the arena. Assemble a team of two heroes from three classes and arm them with unique weapons to make for an entirely unique playstyle. With 12 heroes to choose from and eight cosmic weapons to equip, there are over 4,000 unique ways to customize your character. 

In this developer walkthrough you’ll also get a glimpse at  three of the HyperBrawl Tournament games modes, including the story-based single-player Campaign, the quickmatch Arcade mode, or the more competitive Blitz tournament.

HyperBrawl Tournament is an easy game to play, but a hard one to master,” said Jonathan Holmes, Founder & Studio Director of Milky Tea. “We can explain the gist of it in six minutes, but to truly understand HyperBrawl Tournament’s untold depth, you’ll have to play it yourself. Thankfully, it will be out on PC and consoles later this summer!”

A gameplay video is released for the first Monster Truck simulation

Lesquin, France, July 9, 2020 – NACON and TEYON studio are pleased to release a gameplay video for Monster Truck Championship, the first simulation to showcase the incredible power of Monster Trucks. The game will be available in October 2020 on PlayStation®4, Xbox One and Steam, and later on Nintendo Switch™.

Monster Truck Championship is a unique simulation where players climb aboard a giant truck to take part in various competitions. Taking a realistic approach to driving rather than an arcade-game style, Monster Truck Championship gives players the chance to pull off believable aerial and ground moves by learning the unique physics of these vehicles.

Monster Truck Championship features five major types of challenge: Race, where you try to finish in first place after completing a certain number of laps against eight other drivers; Time-Trial, in which you try to set new time records; Drag Races, where you compete against one other driver on a small section of the track; Freestyle, in which you try to perform as many spectacular tricks as possible; and Destruction, which rewards you for destroying every obstacle you can!
 
For deeper immersion, you can use the cockpit camera and experience the exhilarating feeling of driving high above the track. During tricks, the camera is placed so you can admire your moves at the best angle, and you sometimes get slow motion for an even more impressive view!

Monster Truck Championship boasts many other features, including:

  • 25 circuits in different cities across the United States
  • 16 customizable trucks to make each one visually unique
  • Realistic handling and physics, including independent front- and rear-wheel control, and adjustment of different mechanical elements, such as suspensions, gearbox and engine
  • An online mode for up to 8 players in monster-sized races
  • A Career mode where you must manage the vehicle, sponsors and technicians to improve your performances and earnings

Monster Truck Championship will be available in October 2020 on PlayStation®4, Xbox One and Steam, and later on Nintendo Switch™.

Tropico 6 is free to try this weekend for all Steam users.

Additionally, Lobbyistico, Tropico 6’s third DLC, is out now and it’s a great DLC – amazing DLC if you look at a long lineage of amazing content made by a very smart company. “Incredible DLC” – it’s always been said, and that’s no surprise, really. The appearance of DLCs like this one is rare, but when they do arrive, they come in the best packages. “The best DLCs for the best people”, we say, because those people and us and companies like that have everything they want in life. More content and more DLCs, really, bigger and better than anybody else.

Boomerang Fu’s Six-Player Scuffles Begin August 13 on Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, PC

SYDNEY — July 9, 2020 — Boomerang Fu, the frantic boomerang brawler starring adorable yet lethal food creatures from Cranky Watermelon, invites up to six local players to duke it out on Nintendo Switch, Xbox One and PC on August 13th 2020.

Select one of 12 unlockable food characters from the mighty Milk Carton to the awesome Avocado, then leave a delightful mess by tearing each other apart in fast-paced food fights. Learn the simple controls in minutes, then deftly dash away from danger and unleash a barrage of bladed boomerangs.

One hit means instant death. Master the basics, then learn advanced techniques including deflecting attacks, curving throws, and drawing the boomerang back across the map while playing defensively. Bank boomerangs around corners, off walls, activate traps or even toss them through teleportals for tricky feints. After acclimating to ordinary boomerangs, up the ante with stackable power-ups.

Power up boomerangs with flames, frost, or explosives to obliterate opponents, then take it a step further with telekinesis, multi boomerangs, or teleportation. Learn how each of the twelve power-ups work, find a spectacularly ridiculous combo and destroy the competition. 

Practice the art of grocery-slaying through more than 30 deadly arenas inspired by Hong Kong action cinema, such as cloudy tranquil gardens, slippery bathhouses and ancient temples. Wreak havoc in these peaceful environments secretly filled with spike traps, crushing stones, and portals.

Create the perfect custom match with modifiers like win conditions, friendly fire, homing boomerangs to help new players and more. Add in formidable A.I. bots for solo practice or to fill out matches. Play Free-For-All matches to see who reigns supreme or form squads in Team Up mode. An additional asymmetrical mode tasks players with fighting for the possession of the Golden Boomerang, leading to glorious “one versus many” showdowns.

Boomerang Fu combines everything I love: food, boomerangs, and Hong Kong action cinema,” said Paul Kopetko, founder of Cranky Watermelon. “Which food is best? Only razor-sharp boomerangs decide which veggie gets chopped and which dairy product is king.”

Boomerang Fu will be available on Nintendo Switch, Xbox One and PC via Steam in English, Simplified Chinese, Japanese, Korean, German, French, Spanish and Italian for $14.99 USD. Play locally with up to six players, or use Steam Remote Play Together on PC to play online (experience may vary based on connection and network quality). For more information, please visit the official website and follow Cranky Watermelon on Twitter.

About Cranky Watermelon

Helmed by Paul Kopetko, Cranky Watermelon is a tiny indie studio with credits on Rodeo Stampede, Crash of Cars and Skiing Yeti Mountain, with art direction by Julian Wilton from The Adventure Pals. Joined by his friends in the Australian indie community, Paul hopes Boomerang Fu can help people connect in a time where we’re apart.

Rare Pokémon Trainer Card Sells for Record $90,000 at Heritage Auctions

One of seven, card is among most prized Pokémon collectibles

DALLAS, Texas (July 9, 2020) – An exceedingly rare Pokémon Super Secret Battle “No. 1 Trainer” Trainer Promo Hologram Trading Card, one of seven known to exist, sold for a record-breaking $90,000 on Thursday, July 9, at a public auction of comic and comic art held by Heritage Auctions. Collectors consider the Trainer Promo card possibly the most sought-after card, and arguably one of the rarest cards in the entire Pokémon Trading Card Game.

Equated to one of Willy Wonka’s Golden Tickets, the holographic “Trainer Card” allowed the owner preferential entrance to a secret game tournament, hence the card’s name Super Secret Battle. The finals took place Aug. 22, 1999 in Tokyo. The 1999 card is graded a “Gem Mint 10” – meaning the rarity is in the finest condition of any such card offered at auction.

Owners only found out the location of the private game after winning one of these cards in one of seven regional tournaments. “This particular card was given to one of the seven first-place winners, meaning there are only seven of these cards in the world,” said Barry Sandoval, Vice President of Comics at Heritage Auctions.

The artwork is by Hideki Kazama, a Japanese artist whose work has appeared on three trainer cards over the years. The card, with text in Japanese, is translated as such:

The Pokémon Card Game Official Tournament’s champion is recognized here, and this honor is praised. By presenting this card, you may gain preferential entry into the Secret Super Battle.

The Pokémon Super Secret Battle “No. 1 Trainer” card was one of several lots of high-end, rare playing cards and sealed card packs offered at Heritage Auctions on Thursday. An additional highlight included a Pokémon First Edition Neo Genesis Set Sealed Booster Box (Wizards of the Coast, 2000), which sold for $15,600.

The auction of rare comic books and original comic art continues through Sunday on HA.com

Heritage Auctions is the largest fine art and collectibles auction house founded in the United States, and the world’s largest collectibles auctioneer. Heritage maintains offices in New York, Dallas, Beverly Hills, San Francisco, Chicago, Palm Beach, London, Paris, Geneva, Amsterdam and Hong Kong.

Heritage also enjoys the highest online traffic and dollar volume of any auction house on earth (source: SimilarWeb and Hiscox Report).
