The mobile platform is it’s own monster to deal with, "the controls were the first thing we tackled, obviously, because its how you enjoy the game," Côté describes, "The team really nailed it, it’s simple, it works. We had a bit of an edge because the game was always designed to be a two-button game. Ideally it was played on a controller, and the early prototypes were two shoulder buttons and the thumb sticks, and that was
Based on the short clip we have seen so far, some incarnation of an Oni appears to be in development, which is a type of yōkai, ogre, or troll in Japanese folklore. These are often large and imposing figures with horns growing from their heads, and typically conceived as red, blue, or green. However, the Oni are also typically represented as wielding clubs, and what we saw in the first teaser on November 11 does not appear to a club, but a sword, so right now it is anyone’s guess exactly what we might
This recent controversy is problematic because it reeks of the manipulative practices we have seen from EA. These loot boxes are terrible for consumers, and rather than providing the items directly, encourage consumers to keep buying until they win the items they desire. These loot box mechanics are exactly what has governments up in arms as they seem to promote gambling to the target audience, which can range from underage youth to adu
Apex Legends launched with a thunderous boom onto the PC , PlayStation 4 , and Xbox One in February of this past year. Although it had a fantastic start, the game has plummeted in popularity, and many are wondering if this is due to problems with the developer, Respawn Entertainment, or if EA has more control than players are aw
As Dead by Daylight is strictly an online, multiplayer game, it lives or dies by the size of its player base. In a recent announcement post leading up to the release of the game on the Nintendo Switch, the possibility of cross play was raised but addressed as not being planned between platfo
Hacker savant Crypto is all about surveillance, and his intelligence-gathering abilities give even Bloodhound's a run for their money. He can deploy and control an airborne drone to scout and mark enemies, and his ultimate allows it to produce a powerful EMP blast that stuns enemies, damages shields, and destroys traps over an impressively large rad
But it's all for the better, honestly. The base cost for entry is higher, but conversely, so is the payout. The biggest takeaway here is the change to how score from kills is calculated, which is drastically improved over the last sys
In Shadowfall , undead players' melee attacks do a whopping ~~158 damage each~~ 150 damage each. ( Update: The Shadow Legend melees do 150 damage, but with the Low Profile trait for Wraith, Pathfinder, Wattson and Lifeline, this amounts to 158. Since Gibraltar and Caustic both have the Fortified trait, these characters take 15% less damage. This means zombie melees grant around 133 damage .) If a Legend has only a while shield, this amounts to ~~a one-hit kill~~ . a one-hit kill for most characters. Therefore, it’s important to have at least a Level 2 shield early on in the game. The PS5 game Tips’s supply ship and hot zones will almost always have Level 3 or Level 4 shields somewhere. However, players may have to fight other Legends for t
When the game first launched, players were swarming over from all other titles, including the dominant Fortnite by Epic Games . Apex offered fans a pleasing aesthetic in that the design fuses concepts from the Titanfall ser
In total, the pass provided only four new skins, and three of them were unlocked right away at level one. These skins had only the smallest of differences in their paint jobs, leaving most to wonder what the point was of releasing them in the first place. The rest of the items were bland, and in some cases, loot boxes, which frustrate players now more than ever as they do not know what they are receiving and are at the mercy of a random loot table select
He likely came from a family of wealth and/or one that found pride in their familial history. Though Caustic is still alive there is truth to the belief that their son Alexander Maxwell Nox died that day in the lab as the man he is now is unrecogniza
His last name Nox is a clever play on NOx which is a noun for oxides of nitrogen, more specifically as pollutants in the atmosphere. As someone who relies on toxic fumes to overcome his enemies, it's a great way to tie-in his defining characteristics back into his n
Shadowfall starts as a normal Solos Mode that takes place on a night version of Apex Legend s' pre- Season 3 map . Other than the night map and a smaller player pool of 35, it's similar to the Solos Mode that game developer Respawn temporarily added to the game in Season
On the issue of cross play, Côté was clear in the matter, "It’s untrue that there are no plans for cross play, we are looking at it. For us, the one thing that allows us to keep the game alive is a player base, there is a critical mass for the matchmaking to work, purely for that, anything above that is good, and the more we can bring people together through cross play or any other way, the better it’s going to be for everyone’s experience. It’s obviously something we are looking at very close
