CALL OF DUTY: INFINITE WARFARE CONTINUUM DLC AVAILABLE NOW, FIRST ON PLAYSTATION®4

Continuum Features Four New Multiplayer Maps, Including the Re-Imagining of Modern Warfare® 2 Classic, Rust 

New Zombies Co-Op Experience, “Shaolin Shuffle,” Brings the Funk, Stars Actress Pam Grier set in 1970s New York 

April 19, 2017 – Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare Continuum, the second DLC Map Pack for 2016’s No. 1 top-selling console video game in the U.S. (excluding hardware bundle sales), is available now on the PlayStation® Network for the PlayStation®4. Published by Activision and developed by Infinity Ward, Continuum delivers four new maps, including the return of one of the most beloved maps from Modern Warfare 2, Rust, re-imagined for today’s generation with an ultramodern look. The new DLC pack also features “Shaolin Shuffle,” as actress Pam Grier joins the cast in the new, 1970s New York-inspired zombies experience.

“With Continuum, the team has crafted each map with a distinct feel and different style so that each match brings that immersive gameplay and feeling of teamwork,” said Dave Stohl, Studio Head of Infinity Ward. “Shaolin Shuffle takes our zombies co-op experience creatively to a new level. Everything from the disco zombies and character dialogue to the martial arts component is all about taking players to a new and funky setting in another twisted horror film that builds from the original storyline.”

Shaolin Shuffle, the next thrilling chapter of the Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare zombies experience, features the return of Willard Wyler, the mysterious movie director villain portrayed with voice and likeness by Paul Reubens (Pee-wee’s Big Holiday, Gotham). This time, Wyler has trapped the four protagonists inside a new horror film, set in the unforgettable 1970s.

Players face all-new zombie enemies across a variety of disco-era New York locations, including subways, flashy nightclubs and a martial arts dojo headed up by the “Shaolin Sister,” played with voice and likeness by Pam Grier (Jackie Brown, Foxy Brown). In addition to hallmark Call of Duty action, Shaolin Shuffle introduces four unlockable fighting styles, each with its own set of unique combat moves. Seth Green (Robot Chicken, Austin Powers) as “the Punk Rocker;” Ike Barinholtz (Neighbors, Suicide Squad) as “the Sleazebag;” Jay Pharoah (Saturday Night Live, Ride Along) as “the Street Poet;” and Sasheer Zamata (Saturday Night Live, Inside Amy Schumer) as “the Disco Chick,” all return from the ongoing story in this all-new experience.

In addition to the Shaolin Shuffle, Continuum includes four new multiplayer maps:

  • Turista – A plush spa and resort, Turista is nestled in the middle of a giant skeleton of an ancient creature. With sniper spots scattered across a majestic, central waterfall, Turista also boasts tight interiors for fans of close-quartered combat and a three-lane design that caters to a variety of play styles.
  • Scrap – Set in an abandoned junkyard on the Moon, Scrap features a combination of extended sightlines and tactical pathways that reward players who engage in both long and short-range combat.
  • Archive – Fast, frenetic action sets the pace in Archive, a post-futurist art gallery where tight engagements contrast with open exterior battlegrounds in this wide three-lane style map.
  • Excess – Perched atop a gilded penthouse in a sprawling future metropolis, Excess is a small, circular map re-imagined from the classic Modern Warfare 2 map, Rust, that retains the intense, fast-paced combat from the original.

Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare Continuum DLC Map Pack is available for a great value via the Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare Season Pass, which can be purchased on its own or obtained as part of the Legacy Pro or Digital Deluxe editions of the game. Season Pass gives discounted access to all four Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare DLC Map Packs released during 2017 (discount based on a Season Pass suggested retail price of AUD$64.95 / NZD$69.95, and four individual DLC Map Packs at a suggested retail price of AUD$19.95 / NZD$22.95 each). Upon purchase, Season Pass owners also receive the three new base weapons released to date, as well as 10 Rare Supply Drops and 1,000 bonus Salvage Credits to craft new prototype weapons.

Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi Teaser Analysis

Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi Teaser Analysis

Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the last few days, you’re probably fully aware that Disney’s Lucasfilm released a new teaser trailer for the upcoming Star Wars:The Last Jedi film; directed by Rian Johnson and due to be released later this year. Although Abrams may no longer be at the helm directing the newest installment of the Star Wars franchise but you can certainly see his hand in the trailer’s construction. Abrams is well known for his “mystery box” philosophy regarding the deliberate and careful use of mystery to captivate and hold the attention of an audience. A common criticism of this approach to storytelling is that although it is an effective maxim to create an interest in a story, using it to excess essentially leaves the story with little to no substance. It’s essentially what we get with this trailer which is heavy on the hints but light on the substance.

Knowing that, it is probably quite a futile exercise to try to form predictions from what we see in the trailer… BUT woe be to me to tell anyone that they shouldn’t buy themselves a ticket on the hype train so instead I’m going to join the fun and join in analyzing/dissecting the trailer. Below are two of my wildest and unsubstantiated conjectures I have regarding what might unfold in the film later this year:

  • Luke teaches Rey the ways of the force BUT rather than attempting to replicate the teachings of the jedi order which were handed down to him piece meal by Obi Wan and Yoda, he decides to try impart a less restrictive moral code. Effectively this means that the Jedi order as we know it is effectively bunk with Luke (the last jedi) but also means that the mistake of crushing a padawan under the excessive expectations of the code will not happen with Rey… also, she may end up being able to use powers traditionally associated with the dark side of the force (force lighting/choke anyone?).
  • Finn is shown in some sort of stasis capsule. Ostensibly we could assume that this is because he got injured in The Force Awakens as he gets pretty badly burned up by Kylo Rens lightsaber but I’m going to go out on a limb and suggest he may actually end up captured by the First Order to try and motivate Rey to leave her training early. It’ll be a direct homage to what happens in The Empire Strikes Back and continue the pattern of the new films borrowing their story elements quite liberally from the original trilogy.

These are my literal two cent thoughts and I hope you enjoy them alongside a viewing of the new teaser. May the force be with you all, always.

Wonder Boy: The Dragon’s Trap Review

Wonder Boy: The Dragon’s Trap

Developer: Lizardcube
Publisher: DotEmu
Platform: Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, Playstation 4 (Reviewed)
Release Date: April 18, 2017
Price: $19.99 USD – Available Here

Overview

There is always an argument about older games. If you like a little niche, offbeat title from days of yore and its not some top-ten list dwelling legacy game, you’re actually remembering that said experience blindly as nostalgia is jading your outlook. While I completely disagree with those sentiments, I can say I did find myself lucky enough to experience Wonder Boy: The Dragon’s Trap for the first time ever, with developers of old and new coming together to bring back what is possibly one of the most overlooked titles of the Master System catalog. For those unfamiliar (which I mostly was, going in), this release is a full blown remake of Wonder Boy III: The Dragon’s Trap, a game that launched eighteen years ago to decent critical praise and moderate fanfare. With a hand-drawn art style, new music, and a lot of love, Lizardcube are finally ready to crack this beast out of its shell. Does this remake modernize itself to appeal to all, or is this a game built only for those loyal to their past? Let’s find out.

Story

Wonder Boy: The Dragon’s Trap has a very fairy tale atmosphere, and starts out with the player conquering a mechanical dragon. After doing so as Wonder Boy (or girl, if you so choose), we then are whipped into a sudden adventure as the player is cursed – transforming into Lizard-Man. To break this curse, it is up to you to take your new abilities and body from stage to stage as you hunt down other dragons, transform into new bodies, and eventually remove the disguise once and for all. Yep, it is simple – but is effective for the sake of progression. A lot of NPCs add a great deal of flavor as well, as there are usually locals in many areas to converse with or buy items from – which brings a bit of quirk and character to the game.

Gameplay

The gameplay of The Dragon’s Trap really depends on what transformed state you’re currently in. Lizard-Man is able to throw fireballs at a short range in order to defeat random enemies. Pirahna-Man specializes in swimming, Hawk-Man flies, and Mouse-Man can climb specific platforms in order to progress. There are several of these transformations and each feature their own perks and challenges – based on the level the player is currently on. For instance, Lizard-Man is sort of weak, but his fireball can put a stop to an upcoming enemy quickly. Every character skin has a bit of its own balance, and that is where the charm of the game lies.

After getting out of the first level, the world is literally yours to explore. Every path you take comes off as non-linear, meaning that if you want to go a specific way – there will not be anything to stop you other than the occasional puzzle or locked door. With keys scattered about, the player will have to find gold and keys in order to get through many areas, so they can buy upgrades, weapons, and so on to give them the edge as they work to each themed level’s Dragon. Even though this is a platformer, it is not a game where you just blow through and jump occasionally in order to succeed. No, no. I quickly learned that this hero controls kind of like a lead pipe. Even though he is animated well, the game manages to keep that same feel that I remember so strongly from the first Wonder Boy and Alex Kidd, where jumping is an act of precision and range and hit boxes require more attention than ever before due to the small room for error. I am not saying this is a bad thing by any means, but the weighted platforming and general movement will not be for everyone.

Personally, the gameplay here is why I feel the Master System has such a small following compared to the Sega Genesis and Super Nintendo. Platforming is better with speed, and no one wants to bring a sword that feels like a dagger to a fight. I literally had so much trouble with hitboxes as my impatience was on fully display during the opening hour of the game. As I played however, I got over that learning curve and started to appreciate gameplay that was actually far more strategical and layered than I originally perceived it as. There is such an incredible little world here to explore and those who don’t allow themselves to fully indulge due to that rusty feel that the game first exudes will be doing themselves a huge disservice. Now, if you played Alex Kidd and Wonder Boy back in the day on a regular basis – you will be right at home as Lizardcube nailed bring that feel to modern platforms.

Visuals and Audio

Wonder Boy: The Dragon’s Trap has an amazing art style. In fact, that was the first thing I truly fell in love with. The characters are very well animated, with little details bringing this old adventure into newer times. The animations of the world itself are equally impressive as well, as these environments feel very alive with quirk and color. Those who are into nifty features will also be thrilled, as you can throw the game back into 8-bit with the touch of a button, which adds a great amount of replay value even after the adventure comes to a close.

The soundtrack is also pretty awesome. These tunes definitely capture their original platform, but still sound fluid and modern. Michael Geyre does a great job of bringing these old melodies to life, and even though I can say some melodies are not as memorable as others – there is definitely a great deal of charm added for those looking to crunch into a very retro experience. The sound effects are also special in their own right as well – cementing the tribute that our little hero pays to his predecessor with some familiar chimes.

Overall

Wonder Boy: The Dragon’s Trap is a terrific remake, as it has rebuilt one little title into something that looks new, but still keeps its old mechanics close in order to remain true to its origins. Sure, that could be a curse for some titles, but Wonder Boy doesn’t really try to appeal to anyone other than those who want to get a fresh take on a look back in history. With a ton of content, easter eggs, and satisfying – yet not completely accessible to everyone stylings of days past, this little romp is a monster-filled blast from the past that is sure to add a bite of culture to any console it lands on.
