Minecraft Caves & Cliffs Update Part II Finally Releases To Make Your Worlds Richer

2 years 5 months ago

After a monumentally long wait, Mojang and Microsoft finally released the second part of the Caves & Cliffs update for Minecraft.

The update completes the additions that came back in June, finally completing what was promised back in 2020 and then partly delayed.

The most prominent feature is definitely a complete overhaul of the world generation which will bring much more dramatic caves and mountains to all Minecraft worlds.

You can enjoy it below.

Minecraft is currently available for basically everything with a chip, including PC, PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, iOS, and Android. There probably are more devices, but I’ve lost track.

We already got a glimpse of what’s coming next year, assuming it’s not delayed.

If you’re unfamiliar with this massively popular game, here’s an official description.

Techland’s much-anticipated sequel title, Dying Light 2, is finally ready for prime time following several delays since its announcement back in 2018. The developer has today announced the game has gone gold and is locked in for its release date on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC platform next year, Feb. 4.

Latest GTA: The Trilogy Definitive Edition Patch Fixes a Huge Number of Bugs

2 years 5 months ago

Rockstar Games’ Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy remake hasn’t enjoyed the smoothest of launches, to put it mildly. The updated character models and the techniques that have been implemented to issue graphical improvements across the board have resulted in a game that looks… different, and not in a good way.

Exacerbating the issue, a huge number of bugs and glitches have rendered the experience a bit of a nightmare to play, and so it’s no wonder the developer has been quick to release updates in order to at least try and rectify the issues.

Today, that continues with a new title update for all three games in the trilogy across PlayStation, Xbox, and PC platforms. The same update for the trilogy’s Switch version is expected in the coming days.

As you’ll see below, the number of fixes is substantial, which is both pleasing to see but perhaps raises question marks as to whether the compilation was ready for release in the first place. The most notable changes seem to relate to the new rain effects, which are generally excessive and often spill into areas they shouldn’t.

Here’s the full list of changes via Rockstar Games’ official patch notes:

General – PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PC

AEW Reality Show Rhodes to the Top Renewed for Season 2

2 years 5 months ago

Earlier this week, it was confirmed that the Cody and Brandi Rhodes-led AEW reality drama Rhodes to the Top has been renewed for a second season on TNT. The show was announced back in March of this year, with six hour-long episodes following the couples’ personal lives and the backstage issues surrounding the rise of the hottest wrestling promotion in the industry, All Elite Wrestling.

An official description of the reality show can be seen down below:

Coming to TNT, Rhodes to the Top will take viewers behind-the-scenes as the powerhouse couple manage their ever-busier lives inside and outside the ring, all the while surrounded by a colorful and often hilarious motley crew of wrestlers, family and friends who both support and test them at every turn. Married in 2013, Cody and Brandi have been on an unprecedented path to wrestling greatness, but will now face their newest and possibly biggest challenge yet.

This news comes by way of well-known wrestling journalist David Meltzer, with F4W Online corroborating the report. According to the site, Rhodes to the Top averaged 360,000 viewers and a .15 rating in the 18-49 demo, though rotating time slots of Saturdays instead of Wednesday following Dynamite may have affected viewership.

While there isn’t an exact release date in mind for Rhodes to the Top season 2 on TNT, fans should keep an eye out for more news regarding the AEW reality show at some point soon.

New Halo Infinite BP Progression Update to Add First Game XP Boost

2 years 5 months ago

Halo Infinite’s gameplay is receiving glowing praise from critics and fans alike following its launch earlier this month, but the slow and grindy nature of its battle pass progression has been the subject of some controversy.

To its credit, 343 Industries has been quick to recognize the problem and offer XP payouts simply for playing games, rather than having to tick off daily and weekly quests. Still, though, the battle pass has proved slow going, and so today the developer has announced plans to boost daily XP.

343’s community manager, John Junyszek, has outlined a new first-six-game XP boost that the team believes will help to rectify the issue in Twitter thread. Following an update that is expected to release later today, players will earn the following XP tiers across their first six games:

  • 1st Game = 300XP
  • 2nd Game = 200XP
  • 3rd Game = 200XP
  • 4th Game = 100XP
  • 5th Game = 100XP
  • 6th Game = 100XP
  • 7th+ Game = 50XP

Junyszek signed off by highlighting that the team is aware that many players “want even larger changes” and that the team is “committed to doing so” moving forward.

Some have pointed out in the replies that XP boosts for performance within games would be a welcome addition to the new changes, while others highlight that the descending XP bonus still incentivizes players to purchase XP boosters. It will be interesting to see how 343 further hones BP progression moving forward; keep in mind the game is still officially a beta.

Dungeon & Fighter Fighting Game DNF Duel by Arc System Works Shows Inquisitor in New Trailer

2 years 5 months ago

Today Nexon released a brand new trailer of the upcoming fighting game DNF Duel, inspired by the Dungeon Fighter franchise (also known as Dungeon & Fighter in Korea).

The trailer focuses on one of the available characters, the Inquisitor, showing off her rather flashy gameplay in action.

As usual, it may feel rather familiar to fans of Arc System Works’ games. This shouldn’t be a surprise for anyone since Nexon hired the popular Japanese fighting game developer to create the game. The previous trailer featuring the Berserker gives the same feeling.

You can check it out and see for yourself below.

Dungeon Fighter Online is quite popular worldwide (admittedly a lot more in Asia than in the west) and the game has social media accounts in English, so we might certainly expect a western release.

Dungeon Fighter Online is one of the most played games in the world if you look at actual revenue, so it was pretty much a matter of time for it to expand to other genres and markets.

Last week, we saw the release of the Everyone Is Here update for Dead Cells on PC. This big update adds weapons and skins from games like Hollow Knight, Skul: The Hero Slayer, Hyper Light Drifter, and Blasphemous. And the best part of this whole thing? It’s available to all players for free.

The update lets you dress up as iconic characters like the Knight from Hollow Knight, and even lets you use some of their iconic moves like the pogo jump with the Nail weapon. Here are all the characters and weapons added with the update:

Vampire: The Masquerade – Swansong Gets Pushed Back to May 2022

2 years 5 months ago

Vampire: The Masquerade – Swansong is a new narrative-driven RPG from developing studio Big Bad Wolf and publisher Nacon. It had been delayed before, but it looks like fans will need to wait a little longer before the game is officially released.

Announced on the official Twitter account, Vampire: The Masquerade – Swansong has been pushed back to May 2022.

The game was originally supposed to be released in February, but the team has since made the decision to delay the game so that they have more time to polish it up while still maintaining a healthy work-life balance. Considering how prevalent crunch culture has been in the video games industry, this definitely seems like the best decision for all parties involved.

The game is set to be released for consoles and PC on May 19, 2022.

The post Vampire: The Masquerade – Swansong Gets Pushed Back to May 2022 appeared first on Twinfinite.

Yet Another Dupe Glitch Has Surfaced in Pokemon Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl

2 years 5 months ago

Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl have just been released for the Nintendo Switch, and as players have quickly discovered, it’s absolutely full of glitches and exploits. Pokemon duplication glitches have been rampant, and yet another one has been discovered, making it easier for players to dupe rare Pokemon that they want.

YouTuber PanFro Games goes over the steps in the video below:

Basically, you’ll need two Pokemon boxes: one full of the Pokemon you want to dupe, and the other one left empty. You’ll then need to trigger a menu overlay glitch by checking the summary of one of the Pokemon in your party, and then going back to the Pokemon boxes to start the duplication process.

While there are a lot of steps you need to follow in this method, it’s also faster than some of the previous dupe glitches we’ve seen. Like with all Nintendo games, if you’re planning on duping Pokemon, you’ll probably want to jump on this one quickly as it’ll likely get patched out soon.

Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl are now available on the Switch.

Pokemon Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl Speedrunner Finishes Pokedex in One Day

2 years 5 months ago

In Pokemon, one of the main goals, and catchphrases, of the game is “Gotta catch ’em all,” prompting players to try and fill out their Pokedex by encountering and capturing every Pokemon possible in the game. For some, this goal might seem impossible, as you need to venture all over, capturing Pokemon, completing trades, and more to get every single one. For Twitch streamer SmallAnt, though, the accomplishment was all in a day’s work.

As you can see in the video below, the well-known Pokemon streamer managed to complete his entire Podex in Brilliant Diamond in just one day. To be exact, it took about 21 hours of straight streaming Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl to complete this task.

How exactly did he accomplish this monumental feat? Well, by owning both copies of the game, SmallAnt was able to trade both the starters and the exclusive Pokemon found in Shining Pearl over to Brilliant Diamond before getting the rest of the others through encounters.

New The Book of Boba Fett Footage Teases the Antihero’s Escape From the Sarlacc Pit

2 years 5 months ago

With the legendary bounty hunter all set to return on Disney+ this Dec. 29, it’s safe to say that fans of that galaxy far, far away are on tenterhooks for the upcoming sci-fi offshoot, The Book of Boba Fett.

Yes, earlier today, we received a brand new teaser to get all you wookiee-loving nerf herders out there a wee taste of what to expect a month from today. Check out the new clip down below:

While the new video only clocks in at around thirty seconds long, there’re a few neat teases that are worth mentioning.

Interestingly, we get to see footage of the dusty desert planet of Tatooine, while Boba Fett narrates a portion of dialogue in his signature gruff voice.

Specifically, the infamous bounty hunter describes his experience as: “Left for dead on the sands of Tatooine,” with a short clip of the titular antihero recovering in what appears to be an underwater Bacta tank.

CD Projekt Shares More Details on Cyberpunk 2077 & Witcher 3 Next-Gen Versions Development & More

2 years 5 months ago

CD Projekt hosted its financial conference call for investors and analysts, talking about its future plans for Cyberpunk 2077 and The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, and more.

We hear that the developer has been focusing on rebuilding positive sentiment about Cyberpunk 2077. And CD Project indeed sees “improvement of the sentiment on every platform.”

Later in the call, the studio’s executives explained that the next-generation version of Cyberpunk 2077  (which was recently delayed) is “currently in the testing phase” as they have to be sure that it’ll release “in a very, very good shape.” This requires substantial efforts since the next-gen version includes both a graphical update exploiting the potential of the consoles and a set of system-level improvements. These systems are “general to the game.” While they’re “not a revolution” they can interact with other systems, so the developers need to be sure that there is “no regression whatsoever,” so extra time for testing is needed.

About the next-gen version of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, the situation is a “bit different” as it’s being developed by a trusted partner in collaboration with CD Projekt. The game was originally released almost seven years ago, so technology has advanced and new solutions have emerged, like ray-tracing. The update is mostly technical, applying new technologies to the old game, so the studio needs more time to implement them.

Danganronpa Decadence Review – Cardboard Cutouts Never Looked So Good

2 years 5 months ago

Danganronpa Decadence on Switch

There’s nothing quite like Danganronpa. 10 years after the release of the first game, no other visual novel series has captured the essence of the high school battle royale genre quite like Danganronpa has. The premise for all three games is always the same: a bunch of high schoolers get trapped in a school (or on a beautiful tropical island), and are forced to commit murder and get away with it if they want to escape. There’s also an evil black and white bear named Monokuma that watches over the proceedings.

Danganronpa Decadence is a collection of all three games ported for the Switch, including a small bonus: Danganronpa S: Ultimate Summer Camp. There are a few mechanics that feel rather dated, particularly in Trigger Happy Havoc, but even without any additional changes or quality-of-life tweaks, all three games have held up immensely well and they’re still an absolute joy to play through in 2021.

If you’ve somehow never heard of Danganronpa, or if you haven’t played it, the best way to describe it is Ace Attorney on acid. 16 (give or take) high schoolers get enrolled in Hope’s Peak Academy, an incredibly prestigious school that only takes in ‘ultimate’ talents that are the best of the best in their field. Not long after they get accepted into the academy, they find themselves trapped within the compound by Monokuma.

Today CD Projekt published its financial results for the third quarter of 2021, and provided more insight on its business and development pipeline.

We hear that, while sales have grown by 38% year-on-year, profit has dropped by 30% due to costs that did not apply last year including the upkeep of Cyberpunk 2077 and higher development costs for new and unannounced games early in development.

We also hear that the next-generation versions of Cyberpunk 2077 and The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt are still slated for Q1 and Q2 2022 respectively (following the recent delay)

Last, but not least, the team at work on the “major” expansion for Cyberpunk 2077 has increased in size.

Enigma Archives: RAIN CODE Is a New Dark Fantasy Mystery Game from Spike Chunsoft and Danganronpa Devs

2 years 5 months ago

It’s been a while since we’ve gotten a truly mind-blowing visual novel game or series. Sure, we had AI: The Somnium Files (which is getting a sequel), and the very underwhelming World’s End Club, but none of these quite match the level of quality we got from Danganronpa, Zero Escape, or even Ace Attorney. This newly announced game could be one to keep an eye out for, though. Developed by Too Kyo Games and published by Spike Chunsoft, Enigma Archives: RAIN CODE is a new dark fantasy mystery game that looks pretty intriguing so far.

You can check out the teaser trailer down below:

We know pretty much nothing about this game, aside from the fact that it’s being worked on by the creative team behind the Danganronpa series. Kazutaka Kodaka is the main scenario writer, while Danganronpa composer Masafumi Takada is working on the soundtrack, and the game also features illustrations by Rui Komatsuzaki.

Pokemon Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl Speedrunners are Now Beating the Game in Under an Hour

2 years 5 months ago

Not even a month since its official release, and the speedruns for Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl are already out in full force. While speedrun.com has yet to list any submitted runs for either of these games (presumably because of the long Thanksgiving weekend), it looks like YouTuber and Twitch streamer Werster is the first one to beat the game in less than an hour.

You can check out the full run down below:

According to Werster, Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl contain quite a few glitches and bugs that allow runners to beat the game at a much faster pace. From storage glitches to early gym battles and Elite Four fights, there are plenty of skips that allow players to bypass huge sections of the game.

We’re still in the early days of the Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl speedrunning scene, however, so we’ll definitely be seeing even faster runs come through in the coming months.

Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl are now available on the Nintendo Switch.

Earth Defense Force 6 for PS5 & PS4 Reveals New Underground Gameplay

2 years 5 months ago

D3 Publisher hosted a livestream to reveal new gameplay of the upcoming Earth Defense Force 6.

We get to see a new level, which appears to be underground. This should feel familiar to fans of the series. On top of that, we know that humanity has mostly retreated under the surface before the beginning of the game.

You can check out all the gameplay below. It’s worth mentioning that the version showcased is the PS4 one, so it’s likely that the PS5 version will look at least a bit better.

The game will release in Japan in 2022 for PS5 and PS4, as confirmed during Tokyo Game Show.

At the moment, no western release has been announced for the game, but D3 Publisher has been doing a good job at localizing its games, so there is certainly hope.
