AFL Evolution Announced for PS4, Xbox One and PC

The first AFL game for next generation consoles has been announced, with AFL Evolution sporting a first half of 2017 release date. Not much information was give on the game but we know it will be coming to PS4, Xbox One and PC and is being created by Wicked Witch Software who have worked on the AFL franchise before with AFL Live and it’s sequel. Both games received mild critical reception but it’s important to understand that the game of footy is a hard one to translate into video game form.

AFL Evolution will strictly focus on the men’s side of the game and is putting a lot more effort into in game player recreation, with AFL players from all 18 AFL clubs (it is unclear if that includes all players) doing photo shoots, with 24 cameras used to simultaneously photograph the players in order to create highly detailed likenesses within the game.

Check out this link to the official AFL page for your chance to vote on who you think the cover star should be, although unless you’re voting for Bontempelli I wouldn’t bother as he already has it locked up.

Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 Big Free Patch Out Now, DLC Pack 2 Leaked

Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 Big Free Patch Out Now, DLC Pack 2 Leaked

Patch 1.05 for Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 was the big patched that was promised for December 20th but it seems to have come early on both the PS4 and Xbox One (with the Steam version once again screwed over with a coming soon message). Below are the patch notes right from the update history. In addition to what is listed below I also noticed Saiyan race created characters now have a new line of dialogue when going Super Saiyan 3.

1.05
-Adjusted game balance

1.04
-Implemented a new online event “Frieza’s Siege Event”
-Implemented a new event to raise the level cap
-Implemented a special area to call out for participants for player and team match
-Added the room search function for online expert mission in the online PQ reception (for some reason it says online twice in the latter part of that sentence)
-Improved map UI
-Added voice of Future Trunks
-Implemented contents of free update
-Implemented contents of “Dragon Ball Super Pack 1”
-Adjusted battle balance
-Other minor bug fixes

Also added but not mentioned there was was the inclusion of new variations of Hit and Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan Goku. Hit gains access to his Rapid Improvement technique that seems to include counters and Goku gains access to Kaioken and Kaioken x 10 while in his transformed state, just like in the Universe 6 vs Universe 7 arc of Dragon Ball Super.

DLC Pack 1 will drop on the 20th of December but thanks to a recent V-Jump leak we now have confirmation on two characters that will appear in DLC Pack 2. Champa, the God of Destruction from Universe 6 and his lovely assistant Vados will be making their playable video game debuts in Xenoverse 2. It will sure be interesting to see what they do with Vados as she hasn’t been involved in any combat at all in the entire series and even Champa has had only brief moments of fighting. No date or other information is provided with these scans as of yet.

UPDATE: Bandai Namco have released a trailer showcasing the content of the DLC and also released a promo of their own revealing Champa and Vados alongside other characters that will be included in the Season Pass in one of the future packs. This includes Super Saiyan Rose Black, Super Saiyan Blue Vegito and Zamasu. Judging by the … more is still to come.

UBISOFT® ANNOUNCES NEW ACOUSTIC UPDATE FOR ROCKSMITH® 2014 EDITION – REMASTERED

UBISOFT® ANNOUNCES NEW ACOUSTIC UPDATE FOR ROCKSMITH® 2014 EDITION – REMASTERED

Ubisoft® has announced that Rocksmith® 2014 Edition – Remastered will now feature all-new acoustic instrument support, allowing acoustic players to join the four million people who have learned to play guitar and bass through the award-winning Rocksmith® method, the fastest way to learn guitar.*

The free update comes with three new modes including Microphone Mode, Disconnected Mode and Endless Replay Mode in Guitarcade. With Microphone Mode, players can go acoustic. They will be able to plug in a dedicated USB microphone to a console or computer that will detect the notes played on an acoustic instrument. By placing the microphone near their acoustic guitar or bass, players will be able to take full advantage of Rocksmith without plugging in their instrument.

Disconnected Mode enables players to learn songs without plugging in an input device. With this mode, note detection is deactivated and players can read the notes on the screen for more casual practice sessions. Now with Endless Replay Mode, players are able to immediately restart their session in Guitarcade rather than starting back at the game menu after each round.

“We’ve been looking for a way to bring Rocksmith to aspiring acoustic players for a long time, so we’re thrilled to unveil today’s updates,” said Nao Higo, executive producer, Ubisoft San Francisco. “This year our song catalog grew to more than 900 tracks, and we added new features for all players with the free remastered upgrade.  Now, millions of acoustic guitarists can enjoy Rocksmith too. We’re focused on providing our players with the best guitar learning experience possible and will continue looking for ways to grow and support our community.”

 

Along with these new modes, players can now edit their song lists from the Learn a Song menu, as well as the Nonstop Play menu. There is also the added ability to choose other arrangements in Score Attack and the ability to replay the Welcome to Rocksmith introductory lesson, as well as an updated Calibration sequence for greater accuracy. The new update will be distributed as a free patch for users on all platforms.

UBISOFT ANNOUNCES CLOSED BETA COMING JANUARY 2017

Join the Closed Beta and Help Determine Which Faction Reigns Supreme in War of the Factions Cross-Platform Competitive Metagame

To download all assets please visit the press extranet: ubisoft-press.com | Register for closed beta: forhonor.ubisoft.com/game/en-AU/register

Ubisoft® has announced that the For Honor Closed Beta will be available in January 2017. Players will be able to step onto the war-torn lands of Ashfeld, Valkenheim and Myre with brand new multiplayer experiences that showcase the age old war between Vikings, Samurai and Knights.

Players will learn why these brave heroes have gone to war with one another in the new campaign trailer that dives deeper into the world of For Honor and Apollyon, the main antagonist of the game, who seeks to incite war amongst the various factions. The new trailer details the motivations of the three factions including the Knights of the Iron Legion, the Warborn Viking clans and the Samurai of the Dawn Empire. Players will unravel the harsh and unforgiving world of For Honor as they play through the thrilling story campaign in single player or online co-op.

Coinciding with the closed beta, Ubisoft will launch War of the Factions, a pre-launch limited time event that will answer the question: When the might Vikings, Samurai and Knights finally collide on the same battlefield…who will reign supreme?

War of the Factions will track all multiplayer activity across all platforms in the closed beta launching January 2017. Rewards will be given to warriors participating in the beta as well as the winning faction.

Players can charge into battle with a cast of 12 unique heroes across the three Factions. Ubisoft revealed two new Heavy heroes – the Samurai Shugoki and the Viking Warlord, as well as a new Assassin hero – the Knight Peacekeeper. All three offer even more depth to the competitive multiplayer experience:

  • Shugoki: Once the guardians of the Samurai, they have become as family. Massive and fierce, their weapon of choice is the kanabo, a huge stick that they only can wield efficiently. The Shugoki might not have the same agility as the other Samurai, but their rock-like resistance and demon-like strength make them an unavoidable force on the battlefield.
  • Warlord: Warlord is a name from an ancient Viking tradition, a name that is earned by only the true leaders in combat, those who are ready to spend their whole life servicing all who need it. Warlords’ shields are as versatile as they are strong and their sword, while simple in design, is sharp and deadly.
  • Peacekeeper: Selected from the desperate, the humbled or the devoted, they are sworn to secrecy by unbreakable oaths. Quick and lethal, they fight with a short sword in one hand and a dagger in the other. Peacekeepers are the deadliest duelists of all Assassins, capable of winning a fight before their enemy even knows they are here.

Ubisoft also debuted its brand-new metagame, Faction War, the persistent cross-platform conflict between the Knights, Vikings and Samurai. Players begin by pledging their sword to the faction of their choice. Every multiplayer battle in For Honor impacts the world as players earn War Assets based on their personal performance in matches. These War Assets can be deployed and spent helping players conquer and defend territories. Every match makes a difference as all players contribute to the glory of their faction during each 10-week competitive multiplayer season. Once the season ends, all For Honor players will receive rewards based on the rank of their faction. At the end of each season the Faction War resets and resumes after an off-season period.

Players can get a taste of what For Honor has to offer by registering for the Beta at forhonor.ubisoft.com/game/en-AU/register. For more information about For Honor, please follow us on Facebook at www.facebook.com/ForHonorGame and on Twitter at www.twitter.com/ForHonorGame. For the latest on all of Ubisoft’s games, please visit www.ubiblog.com.

Developed by Ubisoft Montreal in collaboration with other Ubisoft studios*, For Honor offers an engaging campaign and thrilling multiplayer. Players embody warriors of the three Great Factions – the bold Knights, the brutal Vikings and the enigmatic Samurai – fighting to the death on intense and believable melee battlefields. The game’s innovative combat system puts players in total control of their warriors, allowing them to utilize the unique skills and combat style of each hero to vanquish all enemies who stand in their way. For Honor will be available on February 14, 2017.

*Associate studios are Ubisoft Quebec, Ubisoft Toronto, Blue Byte, a Ubisoft studio.

Yooka-Laylee Release Date & New Trailer Announced, Wii U Version Cancelled

Yooka-Laylee got a huge update from the developers over at Playtonic Games recently, revealing the final release date, confirmation of a physical release and final pricing, a brand new casino themed world with a trailer and some bad news for sole Wii U owners.

Yooka-Laylee will be available on Xbox One, PS4, PC, Mac and Linux platform on April 11, 2017. The recommended retail price will be £34.99 / $39.99 / €39.99, so if you backed it smart move as you effectively get the game half price. Playtonic also confirmed that participating stores will see physical box copies of the game and you can preorder now both physically and digitally. Digital pre-orders on all platforms will receive the Toy Box demo backers received four months earlier.

If you backed the game for a digital copy and want to go physical a way to do that will be revealed soon but Playtonic have stated they want all those who backed a physical copy originally to get first priority. You may have noticed the Wii U was not mentioned in the that extensive platform list and that is because that version has been straight up cancelled with the devs having this to say.

The Playtonic team is sad to confirm that despite our best efforts and exploring every possible avenue, we’ve encountered unforeseen technical issues that unfortunately mean it will be impossible for us to release the game on Wii U as initially planned.

However Nintendo fans need not cry as they mention they are working very close with Nintendo to bring this new duo to the Switch and should have more details on that early next year. Of course backers of the Wii U version are getting the option to switch their console of choice to any other version or upgrade to the Switch version when further details are announced. A way to do this should be coming in January.

Now let’s check out some new gameplay. A brand new level called Capital Cashino was revealed where players must compete for casino tokens and exchange them with the banker to receive their Pagies (the equivalent of the Jigsaw Pieces from Banjo Kazooie). You can expect oversized roulette tables, slot machines and other casino propaganda scattered all over the level.

This glamorous, marble-floored playground has our buddy-duo navigating the casino floor, discotheques and oversized roulette tables in search of delicious golden bounty. But there’s a twist; players must now compete to win casino tokens, and exchange them with the banker for the pivotal Pagies! Like with all worlds you can expand Capital Cashino to unlock new areas. If you find Dr. Puzz (the equivalent of Mumbo Jumbo) she will transform you into a ‘head-spinning transformation’.

Check out the new trailer below as well as a special developer diary video that focuses on all the improvements made to the first level since its reveal.
