With the MediEvil remake coming out in a few weeks Sony and Other Ocean have released the first in what will be a series of videos that describe various elements of the game. Called “A Bonehead’s Guide to Gallowmere,” this first video focuses on the proper ways to use the shield. For those unfamiliar with the game, MediEvil places players in the undead boots of Sir Dan who will have quite a challenge ahead of him but with a wide array of weapons and special weapons at his disposal players will need to do their best to make sure Sir Dan doesn’t end up losing his head, again.
This remake features not only a graphical overhaul but also an improved camera system, new secrets to uncover, and a brand new narrator. You can find the video below and keep an eye out for the game when it is released on October 25th.
There are not many forms of art that get a successful switch from one media to another. We all know that a streak of translating video games to the big screen has been less than stellar so far. There have been some hits when it comes to books on cinema but also a bunch of misses. “What about anime, though?” – asked absolutely no one. Well, my dear absolutely no one, do I have some good news for you! Actually, one piece of good news. You see, there is one cute game from far away Japan (or maybe not so far away if you live there, hm) that captured perfectly that anime spark and the gameplay is also nothing to complain about. In a strange twist of fate, I managed to play the sequel first and then the original (aka this remastered release) but that’s fine, cause they are fundamentally different games anyway. Read on, dear reader!
Story
We follow the journey of Oliver, a resident of Motorville. While trying out a new vehicle designed by his friend Philip, Oliver almost drowns, but is saved by his mother Allie; however, she immediately dies from heart problems after saving him. Damn, talk about an early plot twist. Devastated, Oliver starts to cry and the tears cause his doll (a gift from his mother) to come to life and reveals itself as a fairy named Drippy. Drippy tells Oliver that each person from his world has a “soulmate”, someone with who they share a link in Drippy’s world. Unfortunately, Drippy’s world has been conquered by an evil wizard called Shadar. Fearless and determined, Oliver decided to travel to Drippy’s world and find & save his mom soulmate, a great sage called Alicia. He hopes that in doing so, it might also bring back Allie in Oliver’s world. A strange plan to rely on but as they say, hope dies last.
Gameplay
If you played Ni No Kuni II first by any chance, here is a piece of advice: forget everything you know about that game. Not only that the stories are fundamentally different, but so is the gameplay. When a player encounters an enemy, they enter a real-time battle system. Battles take place in an open area, allowing the player (and the enemy/enemies) to freely roam the field. Pretty useful if you feel like evading or escaping from an enemy attack. To fight enemies, you use physical, magical attacks and something called “familiars”.Familiars are creatures that you can find and tame in the game world and send them to battles. Your own battle ally, if you will. Familiars level up and evolve along Oliver throughout battles, and each of them has unique attacks and stats. Not to mention unique cuteness. Once you defeat enemies in battle, you may receive experience, gold, and occasional items as loot. There is the usual health and mana bar and as you might imagine, health is lost when an enemy attacks you, while mana is depleted whenever you cast magic. Both can be replenished by using items during the battle while health can also be restored by picking up green orbs, known as “glims”. Glims are dropped when you continuously attack enemies and there is also something called golden glim. A rare drop during a battle that restores all health and enables as powerful miracle move that deals significant damage to enemies (super useful during boss fights).
Visuals
There is one world that you might read over and over when it comes to Ni No Kuni games. Ghibli-like, Ghibliesque, Ghibli inspired, Ghiblibling. Ok, that last one isn’t even a real word, I just made it up. But you (hopefully) get my point. You don’t have to be a powerful anime connoisseur to know what Ghibli studio stands for. A name depicting quality, integrity, and creativity when it comes to anime. And call me crazy, but the same could be said when it comes to Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch Remastered. The visuals are done in the expected cell shading style (aka Borderlands or XIII), while the important cutscenes in the game are fully animated. I mean like watching the regular anime. The quality of animated segments is top-notch while the actual gameplay visuals are nothing to skip over as well. Worlds map is full of details and even the meanest monsters could be described as nothing else but cute. The big cities are fun to explore and easy to get lost into. That last bit might sound like a minor flaw but it certainly isn’t. If anything, it only amplifies the sense of awe and wonders whenever you enter a new town for the first time.
Audio
If I have given praise on the visual front, the audio angle would definitely use some polish. Especially considering that I’m playing the remastered version of the first Ni No Kuni. Major cutscenes will have a full voiceover in whatever language you prefer, while the rest of the dialogue will have occasional “ohhh”, hmmm” or “hi” sounds. A bit weird and not easy to get used to at first. If anything, it definitely took me out of the experience once I get spoiled with full voice acting in animated cutscenes. Other than that, the actual soundtrack is nothing short of amazing, thanks to Joe Hisashi. What the game lacks in voice acting, it surely makes up for it when it comes to the marvelous soundtrack.
Overall
And lastly, I have to mention the “remastered” bit of the whole game. While the game does feature slightly improved visuals in terms of world map details and performance and better resolution support, everything else stayed pretty much the same. Audio received no touch-ups at all. Call me crazy, but I expected more voice acting, at least during important moments in the game and not just in defining cutscenes. Despite that, Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch Remastered is a well-rounded release with loads of content. A slight improvement over the original and different experience altogether when compared to the sequel.

While Red Dead Redemption 2’sPC release was only a matter of time, PC gamers can finally breath a sigh of relief as Rockstar has officially announced the PC port. The game will appear on Rockstar Game Launcher, Epic Game Store, and several third party retailers on November 5th.
Oddly, the Steam version will be delayed until December. It is unknown if Rockstar and Epic Games has worked out a short term exclusivity deal, as Epic Game Store exclusives do not usually appear on official third party resellers like Humble Store. If there is an exclusivity deal, this is the shortest one to date, beating out Borderlands 3’s six month window by a few months.
Pre-orders kick off on October 9th at 11 AM EST on the Rockstar Game Launcher. Those who pre-order during this exclusivity period will also be able to pick two classic Rockstar titles to keep. Other platforms will begin offering pre-orders on October 22.
Red Dead Redemption 2’sPC version will launch with Red Dead Online right out of the gate. The PC version will also come with graphical enhancements to take advantage of more powerful gaming rigs and a variety of new content.
Rockstar also announced that Red Dead Redemption 2 will be a launch title for Stadia in November. No exact date for the Stadia release has been set, with more details promised soon.

Throughout the journey, you’ll face tense turn-based strategy encounters with destructible elements and a range of tactical challenges, including stealth, dialogue, hacking and combat.
Rain of
Reflections’ debut chapter – “Set
Free” – follows Wilona, a scientist trying to cure a global epidemic of
infertility in a future dystopian world. When Wilona begins to question the
experiments she’s running on the planet’s lastborn child, she sets off a
life-or-death quest that’ll take her through the pristine towers of the elite,
the derelict slums of the underclass, and the sterile halls of the state’s
labs.
Your dialogue choices can convince, defuse or
outsmart other characters in fully voiced conversations, but they can also
affect your friends and foes in combat, helping to change the tide of battle at
a critical moment. The game’s unique motivation system means that Wilona’s
relationships with characters impact how you can approach situations, allowing
various paths to accomplish your goals, some more aggressive than others.
Rain of
Reflections’ ambitious narrative
will traverse multiple chapters, each a full story in itself showing completely
new environments and gameplay from different perspectives. Chapter 2 – “Open
Eye” – will follow a deadbeat private investigator in a cyberpunk district
called The Cluster, while Chapter 3 – “Undercurrent” – will shed light on the
underground resistance movement and its front figure, Imra. For more

THE GHOSTS FACE THEIR EX-BROTHERS-IN-ARMS IN
TOM CLANCY’S GHOST RECON® BREAKPOINT, NOW AVAILABLE
Ubisoft Introduces “What Makes A
Ghost”, A New Live Action Trailer Showing The Life Of an Elite Special
Operations Unit Stranded Behind Enemy Lines
Sydney, Australia — October 4, 2019 — Today, Ubisoft announced that Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon® Breakpoint is now available on the Xbox One family of devices including the Xbox One X, Windows PC, PlayStation®4 computer entertainment system, and UPLAY+, Ubisoft’s subscription service.* To celebrate the launch of the game, Ubisoft debuts “What Makes a Ghost”, a new live action trailer taking viewers right to the heart of the action. With a strong cinematographic feeling encapsulating organic and rough emotions, the immersive short movie shows how the Ghosts went from being the hunters to being the hunted.
Developed
by Ubisoft Paris,** Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Breakpoint is a military shooter
set in a diverse and hostile open world entirely playable solo or in up to
four-player co-op. Players will discover Auroa, a mysterious island where the
most technically advanced facilities meet wild and untamed nature. Home to tech
giant and drone creators, Skell Technology, Auroa has fallen into the wrong
hands and all contact has been lost. The Wolves, a lethal ex-US military unit
of former Ghosts gone rogue, have taken over the island. Led by Nomad’s
ex-brother-in-arms, Lt. Colonel Cole D. Walker, portrayed by Jon Bernthal, the
Wolves have reprogrammed Skell’s drones into killing machines and are ready to
use them, no matter the casualties.
Nomad
and the Ghosts are sent on a recon mission, but their helicopters are shot
down. Injured, without support and hunted down, players will live an intense
military experience as they fight to survive, take down the Wolves and regain
control of Auroa.
Steep
slopes, accumulating injuries and fatigue are new challenges for players to
tackle as they test their survival skills in the varied terrains of Auroa.
Players will enjoy total freedom to accomplish their missions and have plenty
of tactical options and tools at their disposal, including a set of new
military features. They will be able to carry enemies and teammates’ bodies,
blend into their environment with prone camo and set up camp with teammates in
the bivouac to manage equipment, change classes and fine-tune their strategies.
Additionally, Ghost War, the game’s PvP mode, is seamlessly
integrated within the Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Breakpoint experience. With the
new shared progression system, each player will progress in PvE and PvP with
the same character and keep their unlocked classes, skills, customization items
and weapons across both modes. Specific tuning will be implemented for PvP to
ensure a fair and skill-based experience for all players.
The
launch of Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Breakpoint is just the beginning, as there
is a robust post-launch content support plan with regular updates. Episode one
will bring Project Titan, the first raid to come to Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon
Breakpoint, along with new Faction missions, PvP updates and the first new
class, engineer. It will also showcase the first live event, featuring the
Terminator. Episodes two and three will offer two new Adventures, two new
classes, several PvP updates, new end-game content and various live events.
Each faction in Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Breakpoint will evolve through new
narrative missions regularly added to the game. Players will also have access
to 14 daily missions that will bring fresh tactical challenges in the open
world.
Year
One Pass owners will have access to all Year One Adventures and their rewards,
including one-week early access to the three new classes and instant unlock to
the Siren’s Call mission and the Special Operations Forces Pack. Additionally,
Episode one, Operation Greenstone, will be available for players starting
today.

SEGA and World of Tanks Blitz Bring a Roman God to the
Battlefield
The fiery Vulcan from Valkyria Chronicles 4 is ready
for battle
October 4, 2019 — Two giants of the gaming industry, Wargaming and SEGA, are
back at it again as a new Valkyria Chronicles vehicle is ready to storm the
battlefield in World of Tanks Blitz. A combination of two unique universes and
a match made in tank heaven, Vulcan will bolster the Chronicles line up that
already includes four other hero tanks plucked from SEGA’s critically acclaimed
RPG series.
“Our community left
us so much great feedback on the Valkyria Chronicles tanks that we knew we
wanted to bring even more to the game,” states Andrey Ryabovol, Product
Director, World of Tanks Blitz.
“Players kept
asking whether we were going to continue our collaboration and we think we’ve
brought it back with a bang! Based off an original design by the Valkyria
Chronicles team, Vulcan is completely unique and our team created the vehicle
from the ground up without using any existing tank model.”
Named after the
Roman god of all things fiery (forging, metalworking and volcanoes), Vulcan
serves under the 502nd Imperial Heavy Tank Battalion (also known as
Ausbruch) in Valkyria Chronicles 4. In World of Tanks Blitz, Vulcan is joining
the ranks of the heavies in the game’s exclusive Hybrid Nation, which features
the greatest fantastical vehicles from artistic minds, Warhammer 40K and more.
In a nutshell,
Vulcan combines solid armour, a powerful gun and good manoeuvrability, which
will allow players to support the offensive, break through enemy lines and
reduce those unlucky tanks caught in its sights to mere scrap metal.
To celebrate
the new addition, all the Valkyria Chronicles compatriots will be available in
World of Tanks Blitz from October 4 19.00 AEDT until October 18 19.00 AEDT.
