It hasn't been so long since the release of far cry 5 back in March 2018 and after little teasers and snippets ubisoft has officialy announced a post-apocalyptic sequel to it; Far-cry new dawn.

Platforms:TBA

After years of waiting we finally got the real confirmation at E3 2018 about Bethesda upcoming game The elder scrolls VI , revealed by Todd Howard himself. There isn't much information about this long-awaited game other than that it Currently is in pre-production so don't expect it to come out anytime sooner at least not before their upcoming game "starfield" which is expecting to be out by the end of 2019.

Starfield

Release date:TBA

Platforms:TBA

Starfield is Bethesda's new original upcoming franchise in 25 years, the game was revealed at E3 2018 by Todd Howard where he also revealed several other project's. Now back to starfield, the only thing we know about this game from the teaser is that it's a space based rpg game, any other information on it is still obscure.

Halo infinite

The well known halo franchise will be coming back with a new installment Halo infinite which was revealed in E3 2018.

Bandai nomaco finally launching the remake of one of the most spine-chilling classic "resident evil 2", which originally was released back in 1998.

PS5 coming out possibly in 2019, Rumors saying that it might be capable of rendering games in 8k-120fps

PS5 coming out possibly in 2019, Rumors saying that it might be capable of rendering games in 8k-120fps

December 16, 2018

2019 is almost at the doorstep and with new year comes new technology

It's been a while since the launch of ps4 and since then gaming has evolved so much with games getting bigger in terms of size and graphics, naturally consuming more resources and 4k gaming rapidly taking over, it seems like soon we can expect to see the launch of new next-gen console; possibly in 2019.

Now if you do or don't know Sony is taking absence from next year E3 2019 claming that they are working on something bigger and will reveal a big news next year, which might be the indication of a brand new console.

Now aside from that the specs of PS5 is currently unknown but we can speculate that the next-gen console will be 4k 60fps ready but here's a plot-twist many rumors saying that the upcoming PS5 can render upto 8k with 120fps (which I know is insane) Even the new line of Nvidia rtx series cannot deliver 120fps at 8k, not even with 2080ti NVLINK.

And apparently this rumor is derived from the inter Bee 2018 event in Tokyo recently, where sony unveiled their brand new ultra-high-end “Crystal LED Display System”, also known as CLEDIS, capable of running 8k at 120fps, where they showcased Gt sports running at 8k resolution.

Which is quite interesting because a year ago in an interview with finder.com; Kazunori Yamauchi the CEO of Polyphony Digital talked about Gran Turismo Sport in-game resources being developed for upcoming console rather than the current one and he also said that It would be no problem to run the game at 8k resolution.

And if it's true

if sony can make a console that can really deliver something revolutionary than it will truly be the next-gen console.

Avengers: Endgame full breakdown; Time travel to stop Thanos?

2018-12-11T01:57:00.000-08:00

Avengers:Endgame full breakdown; Time travel to stop Thanos?

December 11, 2018

Marvel officially revealed sequel to infinity war and this time it's Avengers:Endgame,And as soon as the music dropped with Marvel studios logo turned into dust you can already feel the ghastly atmosphere and it really might be the end of the avengers as we know it.

Tony accepting his fate

After witnessing the death of everyone except nebula on titan tony apparently took vessel in Benatar(the guardians ship) in order to get back home as shown in the trailer but unfortunately drifited off into the vast space. Unable to move at the speed of light and completely deprived out of food and water for past four days and oxygen running out next morning.
Knowing that he won't make it back tony accepted his fate and decided to make one last farewell massage for his beloved miss potts saying goodbye through the residue of his iron man suite's helmet which was completely demolished by thanos.

So where is nebula

Now we do know that Nebula landed on titan in her own spaceship and also survived the decimation alongside tony, so where is she now, one will probably assume that they left together since their chances to do something against thanos are much more considerable that way.

But as shown in the trailer she's on board a ship, we also saw her touching someone's shoulder but the context didn't provide any further information, so nobody is exactly accurate whether she is with Tony or not.
And also many fans are speculating that the one who'll save Tony's life is none other than Captain Marvel.

What thanos is upto now

After successfully killing half of the lifeforms it looks like thanos is currently on what seems like an earthlike planet, and we do get to see his armor just standing on a field like a scarecrow as well as a little snippet of thanos walking in a field with a really damaged infinity gauntlet, which was created by dwarf king Eitri in order to house and wield all of the infinity stones but apparently gauntlet couldn't handle the absolute power of stones.

Missing Avengers and friends

Now flashing back to earth at avengers basecamp, we see Bruce banner behind two screens looking at all of his friends who're now missing and on the screen you can see Scot lang aka antman and shuri right before it changes to peter and it looks like shuri also disappeared. we didn't exactly get to see what happened to her but we do know that her brother T'Challa king of Wakanda died so maybe she is upto something or might possibly be dead, but on the otherhand we're already aware of what happened to Peter.

The return of Hawkeye(Ronin)

We also get to see the return of long gone Hawkeye who was last seen in civil war and now he is back. The footage shows Hawkeye using a sword instead of his usual bow and killing yakuza on the streets of Japan and most interesting thing is you can see him in his new outfit which appears to be ronin outfit; alterego of hawkeye which might be the hint that his beloved family also snapped away by thanos causing Clint to comeback as Ronin.

Captain America and Scott Lang

Endgame trailer also shows captain America mourning over all of his dead friends and talking about a big plan to fix the mess thanos caused and even the God of thunder is bewildered. we also get to see Scott Lang aka antman at the end of the trailer who was believed lost in quantum realm after ant man and the wasp. It was obvious that Avengers thought Scott also died, his face was also included among the list of those missing, but he survived since he was in quantum realm when thanos snapped.

In the post-credits scene of Ant-Man and the Wasp, the quantum tunnel - the gateway to the Quantum Realm that Hank and Hope created to rescue Janet was in the back of that van and you can see the same van in the post-credit seen of the endgame trailer which might be the indication of time travel.

And if it's true then it will be most interesting element of any marvel movie, Going back in time to find infinity stones before thanos do; to match that one outcome Dr.strange saw.

So are you excited for new Avengers:Endgame

Avengers: Endgame will come out on 24 April 2019, one month after the launch of Captain Marvel

Epic games store will also features something known as Connect with Creators,

"YouTube content creators, Twitch streamers, bloggers, and others are at the leading edge of game discovery. The 10,000-strong Epic Games Support-A-Creator program helps you reach creators, so they can help you reach players. If you opt to participate, creators who refer players to buy your game will receive a share of the revenue that you set (tracked by code or affiliate marketing link). To jumpstart the creator economy, Epic will cover the first 5% of creator revenue-sharing for the first 24 months."

Any person who'll purchase a game will automatically subscribe to the developer newsfeed and all devs will be able to engage with their community about any upcoming updates, news or a new game. you'll also be able to reach player's through e-mail but only if they're willing to share it. Developers don't need to worry about advertisements being shown on their game pages . There will be no store-placed ads or cross-marketing of competing games on your page, and no paid ads in search results.

The company will reveal other important details and more upcoming stuff at The Game Awards this Thursday, December 6th.

why fallout 76 is so unfinished

2018-11-25T08:34:00.000-08:00

why Fallout 76 is so unfinished

Sun, November 25

Fallout 76 just became Bethesda lowest rated game

Fallout 76 is currently struggling to keep up with the standard's and expectation of many players and the reason behind it is well as we all know,
"an incomplete bland game filled with tons of glitches and lack of development in storyline".

The concept of multiplayer feature in a post apocalypse game seems like a fair deal but only if done correctly.
But in this case Bethesda went into a different direction and delivered a complete mess of a game and obviously many players are upset and disappointed with the game and it's currently being criticized quite harshly by many critic's.

Now if you've played the game you must've noticed the problematic fractious bugs and not only that the gameplay itself is quite clichéd and with no npc you're left with fetch quests given to you over recording by Ai, robot's or people who are long dead asking you to go somewhere click something or do a certain task and then come back and repeat it over and over making the gameplay banal and even if you're determined to complete quest you cannot because there are still server issue's which is making the game completely inept and unplayable.

We all know how convolouted it is to program something which is so massive but just because of that there is no reason to defend something like 76 which is made by a huge AAA company. This is not the only time that gaming companies have launched incomplete game, many other AAA companies have done it before and still doing it; publishing underdeveloped games and slowly its becoming a norm which is totally ruining the gaming community.

sony won't be showing up at E3

2018-11-20T00:53:00.003-08:00

Sony won't be Showing up at E3 2019

For first time in 24 years Sony interactive entertainment won't be participating in E3 2019. According to variety Sony confirmed their absence in E3 2018 with a statement. “As the industry evolves, Sony Interactive Entertainment continues to look for inventive opportunities to engage the community,” “PlayStation fans mean the world to us and we always want to innovate, think differently and experiment with new ways to delight gamers. As a result, we have decided not to participate in E3 in 2019. We are exploring new and familiar ways to engage our community in 2019 and can’t wait to share our plans with you.”

And not only that the chairman of Sony interactive entertainment, Shawn layden confirmed the cancellation of this year PlayStation Experience due to lack of material.

“Now that we have ‘Spiderman’ out the door, we’re looking down in 2019 to games like ‘Dreams’ and ‘Days Gone’ but we wouldn’t have enough to bring people altogether in some location in North America to have that event, We don’t want to set expectations really high and then not deliver on it.”.

For past couple of years PS4 maintained it's dominating position in gaming market with the titles like the last of us, uncharted, God of war etc. And according to buisness insider over 76 million PlayStation consoles have been sold since launch in Nov 2013.

And now Sony taking absences from 2 major events is a very big decision for the company but looking at the other side Sony might be working on something bigger.

Last October Sony CEO kenichiro yoshida confirmed the successor of ps4 "At this point, what I can say is it’s necessary to have a [sic] next-generation hardware,”

So maybe they're pulling away from PS4 and working on next-gen device.
