Spyro Reignited Trilogy is the new Sypro bundle developed by ‘Toys For Bob‘ but published by ‘Activision‘. It is coming out the 13th of November on the Xbox One and PS4. No PC. The purple dragon is back and he’s improved. Let’s take a look.
Spyro Reignited Trilogy is a Spyro bundle that contains three of the past Spyro games: Spyro the Dragon, Spyro 2: Ripto’s Rage and Spyro: Year of the Dragon. Many gamers will remember these games from back in the day. In case you want a quick reminder we will briefly go over each game.
In Spyro the Dragon, Gnasty Gnorc came back from exile. He trapped the dragons in crystal (who knew dragons were so easy to defeat) and raised an army of gnorcs. Spyro must save the day. In Spyro 2: Ripto’s Rage, Spyro has been called back to the land of Avalar but this time to defeat Ripto the sorcerer who started war against the homelands. Spyro again must defeat them. In Spyro: Year of the Dragon, the dragon realm is celebrating well… the year of the dragon, when. cloaked figure shows up to steal all of the dragon eggs. An whole army of Rhynocs are under a sorceress’s spell and now guarding those eggs, keeping the good guys away. Spyro once again must be the hero and save those eggs. Pu all three of these games into one bundle and you’ve got Spyro Reignited Trilogy.
Now what’s the point of getting Spyro Reignited Trilogy if you have already played these games? Let’s see. Spyro Reignited Trilogy not only has the three games but all three have been improved with HD graphics and just from the trailer it’s obvious the game is looking much better… but wait… there’s more. There are more puzzles, more dragons and off course, more eggs. There are more challenges as well. When you combine these additions to the game, they equate to more time spent in these games. Also, yes, switching between the three Spyro games is easy (It better be).
We checked out some Spyro Reignited Trilogy gameplay and so far it looks good. It’s definitely an improvement that’s obvious to the eyes. The enemies look much more lively too. The levels feel like a 2018 game and the environment, lighting and greenery are very good also. It’s good to see that Spyro still has his same move set but we also hope that new abilities will be brought into the game. The official trailer was just good, it would have been better if more memorable areas in the game were displayed instead. Spyro doesn’t look crazy, extra scaly or anything but looks normal like he should.
Overall Spyro Reignited Trilogy looks like a good game. Old fans of Spyro would definitely enjoy this as it’s the old experience just with much better visuals and a few small additional things. So no major changes. The developers ‘Toys for Bob’ have done a good job with this. We at X35 Earthwalker look forward to seeing what Spyro Reignited Trilogy offers the gaming community and how fans react to this. Now Spyro may be looking better but he’s clearly nothing compared to the good looks of… the ‘Earth Walk!’
Grip: Combat Racing is a new combat racing game developed by ‘Caged Eelement‘. It is coming out the 6th of November 2018 on the Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, PS4 and PC. Grip: Combat Racing got our attention. Lets take a look.
Grip: Combat Racing makes it clear right from the start that it’s all about high speed racing and using a whole load of weapons to destroy your competitors. This heavily reminds us of that old Play Station 1 game called S.C.A.R.S where you pick up effective weapons and destroy enemy racers and all vehicles where shaped like animals. Check that out. The main difference though is that Grip: Combat Racing is much much faster and more weapons. Describing vehicles as “armed to the teeth with heavy weapons”. Sounds interesting right? We know!
The history behind Grip: Combat Racing is that street racing has evolved. Everything is more dangerous and ruthless. It’s apparently not just about winning the race, it’s also about what you do during the race, especially how much destruction and how merciless you are towards your opponents. Is this a clue to a scoring system? Who knows? Destroying opponents shouldn’t be a problem as the weapons in Grip: Combat Racing has been described as outlandish and devastating.
Now about what you can do in Grip: Combat Racing. Players can drive along the walls and ceilings. The maps are suppose to be creative and weird, so experience and mastering the controls are essential if you plan to get anywhere. Where ever your tires can touch is where you can drive. The physics in this game are described as gravity defying. You can also perform tricks and stunts which now reminds us of ATV: quad power racing 2. It gets worse (or better) as the environment is destructible.
Grip: Combat Racing has been fully enhanced for the Xbox One X and the Play Station 4 Pro. Grip: Combat Racing was developed using Unreal Engine 4 and the developers seem to have bragged quite a bit concerning the soundtrack. Best of all is that Grip: Combat Racing is both online and offline. That’s right and even better the offline is split screen. Meaning you can play with your family and friends without having to buy another console. But what else can you expect from this game? We will happily tell you.
22 tracks across 4 different planets
A single player campaign
Drive across ceilings, walls and the floor with speeds up to 767mph
There are 9 weapons and power ups like missiles, shields and more
There are 19 carkour runs for you to try against the clock
Work alone or team up in the arena battle maps
We checked out some Grip: Combat Racing gameplay and now it reminds us of Drome Racers which was an excellent game by the way. The racing speed doesn’t look or seem like 767mph but whatever. It’s still fast paced, the weapons are making the whole race dangerous. The designs of the vehicles need to be more diverse though. We know there is vehicle customisation but there needs to be great variety. The ability to drive on the walls and ceilings does make everything look more futuristic and cooler. We did expect the tracks and environments to look more creative though. We will have to see.
Overall Grip: Combat Racing seems like a good game. It’s definitely interesting but from what we have seen, we are not impressed. This game needs to stand out from other racing games, the environments need to be more creative and the vehicles need more variety in design. Even so we are liking the concepts and the level of combat. The graphics are very good as well. The developers ‘Caged Element’ did a good job. We at X35 Earthwalker will keep an ear out for Grip: Combat Racing. Now Grip: Combat Racing be fast but it’s incredibly slow when compared to… the ‘Earth Walk!’
My Hero One’s Justice is a new action fighting game developed by ‘Byking‘ but published by ‘Bandai Namco‘. My Hero One’s Justice is coming out the 26th of October 2018 on the Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, PS4 and PC. Fine we’ll say it… Plus ultra. Let’s take a look.
If you couldn’t figure it out (get out from under your rock) My Hero One’s Justice is a fighting game of the popular anime called ‘My hero academia‘. That’s right so all the popular characters, both hero and villain are here and ready to clash big time. Is there a story yes, and players can experience both sides. Basically players must fight for the justice you want. So if what you want is for the heroes to defend those in need and prevent evil or be the source of evil and cause massive destruction, then well you must fight for it.
So pick the character you want and bring your justice to life in My Hero One’s Justice. Off course if you are Tomoura shigaraki and want to cause trouble then expect All might and Izuku Midoriya as obstacles. Also if you are a hero like Shoto Todoroki and want to save the day well, what makes you think the bad guys will let you? So expect many characters like Shota Aizawa, Tenya Lida, Ochaco Uraraka, Katsuki Bakugo, Chizome Akaguro (hero killer stain), Himiko Toga, Dabi and more. Players can even play as Endeavor who is available only to those who pre-order.
Now players can use almost anything in the battle field to their advantage. For example the environment is destructible so destroy buildings and walls to make extra paths, cover to use or to extend combos. So even get use to using the buildings and walls. My Hero One’s Justice also allows sidekicks. You can have two sidekicks and like in other beat em up games can be used to make powerful attacks, extend combos, interrupt enemies or even as a distraction. Strategy is needed here so experiment and find out what works.
Off course a fighting battle game like this will have online combat. So Detroit smash heroes and villains from around the world to make it clear who’s better. If you are really competitive, then check out the leaderboards and fight your way to the top earn the right to call yourself the number one villain or hero. Not that it matters as neither number even stands a chance against X35 Earthwalker. Rumour has it that both All might and All for one got one shotted by X35 Earthwalker himself.
We checked out some gameplay and it looks fast paced. Characters can dash around; however Tenya’s dash lasts longer and stronger (as it should be). Players as we mentioned can fight along walls, get into the air, evade projectiles, combo like crazy and use powerful ultimate moves (not sure if they are called ultimate or not). My Hero One’s Justice so far does look very good, fun and action packed indeed. It is also quite clear that there are layers to the strategy and things can get sort of deep. So be prepared for that. Also there’s some character customisation and cool and silly stuff you can add to make your character your own.
Overall My Hero One’s Justice is looking good. The graphics are good, the sounds are good, the actions is smooth, the effects are cool, the locations and environments are familiar but we hope they get creative with the battle fields. More information concerning the story would be nice but let’s stay patient. The developers ‘Byking’ did a very good job with this game. We at X35 Earthwalker are looking forward to seeing who will be on the receiving end of the United States of smash. Now My Hero One’s Justice may be looking cool now but it’s coolness is in fact lame when compared to… the ‘Earth Walk!’
Starlink: Battle for Atlas is a new action adventure game developed by ‘Ubisoft‘. It is coming out the 16th of October 2018 on the Xbox One, Nintendo Switch and PS4. Starlink: Battle for Atlas is suppose to be a large world containing large action. Let’s take a look.
In Starlink: Battle for Atlas, basically players are a part of a group of heroic interstellar pilots. They are all about defeating an evil robot force known as the Forgotten Legends and freeing the Atlas star system from them. This group of pilots are supposed to be so good that even Star Fox Mcloud is even a part of it. Off course Fox Mcloud is only available on the Nintendo Switch. With someone like Fox on your team, you know that team is going to make things happen. Even better is that you can play as Fox.
The way how Starlink: Battle for Atlas works is that first you control a pilot and there is actually a good number of them in this game. For example there’s: Judge, Shaid, Fox Mcloud, Calisto chase da silva and even more. Then players build and off course customise their starship. Choose the hull and the wings and from four ship classes. Also Starlink: Battle for Atlas allows players to collect and build your own modular Starship model and connect it to your controller, allowing you to use it. You can equip your model and make other modifications and the changes take place in the game in real time. Pretty cool. New and different features are always great to have. It also provides more options. By the way, you can play with the figures and toys as well.
What’s a space planet blasting ship game without weapons? Well Starlink: Battle for Atlas has weapons. The shredder is a kinetic weapon that fires rapidly and is basically like a rotating chain gun. The levitator is a stasis weapon that firs missiles that upon impact, freezes your enemies in place meaning they can’t fight back. The flamethrower is a fire based weapon (obviously) that does continuous damage in a wide arc and can weaken enemy defences. The frost barrage is all about slowing down your enemies making it easier to land your heavier weapons on them. It fires as missiles. The implored basically fires black holes, not only that it can be combined with elements to make crazy combinations like flaming or icy black holes etc. There are more weapons than mentioned here (we know that they are).
The Atlas Star system is huge. Expecting multiple planets? If yes, then you are right. Starlink: Battle for Atlas has multiple planets like Sonatus, Krite and Necrum. There are more but when you see these planets you might be impressed. A lot of work has gone into the designs of these planets. Expect giant flowers, rocky mountains with hollowed forms that look like creatures live inside. Expect deserts and structures that look like table mountain. Expect different wildlife and creatures going about their business. Expect areas to look like they are split into to climates, expect beautiful but very deadly plants that lure you in and then will devour you. These world are very lively and we at X35 Earthwalker are liking what we see so far.
The enemies in ,Starlink: Battle for Atlas, are everything from other star fighter ships to creatures on planets or giant monsters that pose a serious threat and even bases and enemy structures and defences that will shoot you down. Basically no where is really safe. You can get attacked while travelling from one planet to another, you can get jumped by enemies from out of no where when trying to hack something or other tasks. You can even get attacked on a random fun tour of the planet and suddenly run into something not friendly.
We checked out some gameplay and it does look very good right now. The graphics are very good indeed. The visuals and environments are excellently good. We like the different designs of the planets. The combat, and action flows nicely. Not much information on enemies but from what we have seen, they vary quite a lot from what look like complete aliens, to nature enemies and should keep things exciting. Being able to travel how you want in space and then go to planets, enter the planets atmosphere and being able to control it all is very good.
Overall Starlink: Battle for Atlas looks like a very good game that both children and adults will enjoy. Variety in ships, weapons, planets and enemies. Variety and options are key in gaming. The use of outside figures and collectibles is a good idea and some will be into that as it does have some advantages. The developers ‘Ubisoft’ did a very good job with this game. We at X35 Earthwalker are looking forward to seeing what this game accomplishes. Now Starlink: Battle for Atlas may have variety but it’s range doesn’t compare to… the ‘Earth Walk!’
Mark of the Ninja: Remastered is the off course the remastered and new action stealth game developed by ‘Klei Entertainment‘. Mark of the Ninja: Remastered is coming out on the Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, PS4 and PC the 9th of October 2018.
The story in Mark of the Ninja: Remastered is basically that a unnamed ninja is given a special ink tattoo which grants him increased senses and reflexes, which isn’t worth it if you ask us. The downside of the tattoo is that the bearer will eventually descend into madness and get deranged. A heavily armed group show up at the dojo and attacks. The unnamed ninja is awoken by a female ninja named Rio, who when he gets up saves multiple members. Eventually both Rio and the ninja are ordered to take revenge for the attack. So a revenge story with tattoos.
So since it’s remastered, gamers can expect 4k resolution on supported hardware. Also expect cinematic scenes to also be in 4k too. There is 5.1 surround mix for the whole game. Make sure you put your headsets on. Additional information says that the in game audio uses high quality compression and that the cinematic audio has been completely redone. So this is something for players to experience personally themselves.
Now less about the little obvious stuff and what’s new about Mark of the Ninja: Remastered? Well the biggest thing is the new special edition DLC called Dosan’s tale which allows players to control Dosan. In this content there is new and unique items. Also a additional story level and unlocked developer commentary. What’s also new we believe is that there is a new game plus which allows players to go again, taking on new challenges and options. Each level in the whole game has collectibles, unlockable abilities and optional missions.
We checked out some gameplay of Mark of the Ninja: Remastered and it looks very good so far. The animations of the unnamed ninja is very good. We like how mobile the main character is. You can use the environment to your advantage, you can make enemies panic. There are executions, there are time freeze moments allowing for targeted throws and more. The action is smooth and things look good. There are a lot of options and players can choose to go through without killing anyone or just straight up executing all.
Overall Mark of the Ninja: Remastered looks like a very good game. We like games that combine both action and stealth and grants the choice and rewards both. The developers ‘Klei entertainment’ did a good job with this game. We at X35 Earthwalker are not looking forward to this game as we haven’t seen anything that makes us want to play Mark of the Ninja: Remastered but we see that it’s definitely a good game. Now Mark of the Ninja: Remastered may have been improved but it’s still nothing compared to… the ‘Earth Walk!’
Assassins Creed Odyssey is the newest Assassins Creed game developed by ‘Ubisoft‘. It is coming out the 5th of October on the Xbox One, PS4 and PC. This time it looks like the action is taking place in Greece, 431 BC. Let’s take a look.
Players control the oldest son of a general. Not just any general but, a Spartan general. You was sentenced to die but off course you didn’t (plot armour). Now you must embark on an adventure, surviving and learning about the secrets of your bloodline. Basically you moving from a outcast to a hopefully a legend. Doesn’t sound that hard right?
Now Assassins Creed Odyssey is looking like a serious game has it claims to allow players to explore the entire country. So we can go from city to city, take up tasks, challenges, do what we need to do and move on. Beware though as there is said to be reactions to our action and decisions. Multiple games have said that there are consequences to our actions but they all pretty much have failed in making consequences that actually matter. Will Assassins Creed Odyssey get it right?
Within Greece players can even go up to the snowy mountain peaks where it’s… well… quite cold. Is there a penalty for being in the cold? Do we need a jacket or not? If that was cool then check this out. Another area for players to explore is the Aegean Sea. So there are some nice looking places underwater so make sure to have a look. Off course there are more areas in this game with some being uncharted and there fore must be discovered. We hope to see some greek mythology in the game in terms of monsters.
What’s the point in having a large sea and ships if we can’t use them? Good thing that’s not the case here. It’s Greece after all, sailing and fighting with ships is sort of like their thing back then. Players can get access to large ships and explore the sea themselves. It gets better. You can customise how your ship looks and off course upgrade your ship weapons. Things get a bit deeper though. You can recruit and add crew members who can have perks that could really make a difference in a fight.
We checked out some gameplay and it’s basically what we expected. You can sneak, run. fight, attack, use a bow, wield a sword, charge into battle, watch large armies fight etc. It’s still assassins creed. There are executions. You can call and use Ikaros, who is a bird that just like in a previous title (Egypt) allows you to scout out the area, see your target etc. The Spartans are against the Athens, a lot of stuff is going on in this world. You can even find some ship wrecks and rubble.
Overall Assassins Creed Odyssey looks like a normal Assassins Creed game. We are not impressed. Off course a lot of work has gone into this game but we haven’t seen anything that makes us say, we should buy this. Graphics look very good. Sounds are good. The developers ‘Ubisoft’ did a good job with their game. We at X35 Earthwalker hope we see something game changing in Assassins Creed Odyssey. Now Assassins Creed Odyssey may take place in Greece this time but what’s bigger than Greece is… the ‘Earth Walk!’
Anthem is a new action RPG developed by ‘BioWare‘ but published by ‘Electronic Arts‘. Anthem is coming out the 22nd of February on the Xbox One, PS4 and PC. From what we know, this ain’t an anthem you want to sing. Let’s take a look.
In Anthem, players take control of a freelancer. Freelancers are people (pilots) that use javelins for traversing the world and combat off course. A javelin isn’t something that you throw here but instead a powerful exosuit. So players must pick their exosuit from their wardrobe – we mean collection and get right into the action. Anthem is a large world and these javelins are essential so take care of them.
With these javelin exosuits players can soar through the air at great speeds, dodge, slide, dash around faster than enemies can keep up (hopefully) and even explore submerged areas. That’s right, underwater areas are here too. Javelins can have equipment, gear and weapons which the players can customise and decide. Anthem seems to have good emphasis on the customising of the javelins. Since it’s an RPG we all know things can be unlocked as progression is made.
So ranking up is crucial. There are also dangerous and powerful enemies that once defeated you will pass milestones and even get loot which off course can get you even more gear and personalisation options for your javelin. Eventually like Halo 5 Guardians, it will be incredibly rare to find someone with the exact same looking javelin as you.
Now off course there are different types of javelins. There is the: Storm, Colossus, Interceptor and Ranger. Storm is like a mage, lots of longer range attacks and all electrifying. Storms can even hover and teleport to keep a distance from enemies. The Colossus is all about lots of weapons, heavy damage, explosions, flamethrowers and shields. So it’s basically the big tank that fights hordes by itself. The interceptor is all about getting in the enemies face, landing some blows and then getting out of there just as fast. Even weakening enemies and crippling them with it’s many abilities. The Ranger is basically the strong all rounder. It has different weapon types can get physical with enemies (melee), has grenades to deal with grouped enemies, can buff allies and even grant ability cool down reduction.
Anthem is an open world game which means expect expansions. That’s a good thing as it also means players will always over time have new things fight, explore and look into like stories and events. This is multiple ways reminds us of Destiny 2. What else can you expect from Anthem? This open world will have different hazards and conditions popping up. So the developers clearly want an alive world with things going on. We like that.
Off course Anthem is also very much cooperative. Anthem is focusing quite a bit on the social side. Gamers can play in teams with up to three other players to take on missions. These missions will reward both the teamwork and the individual ability. Players can still go solo and accomplish things by themselves. This is serious and some big games have failed in this area. Making sure that solo players have lots to do is important. Developers shouldn’t create exciting content that only groups and teams can do. Not everyone has or wants to play with strangers or friends.
Each freelancer has a team. This team provide vital information to freelancers and do everything in the ability to make sure everyone mission is a success. They are the support. Players must also remember that you can progress your javelin and your pilot. Pilot upgrades can include improvements in combat like mobility and even allow you to use javelin functions for longer before overheating like flying. Pilot skills and aspects are carried over to each javelin and not restricted so keep that in mind.
We checked out some gameplay and it definitely looks good. The world is very big indeed. The biggest factor that separates Anthem from others is the huge mobility. Players can fly to wherever they want, investigate and leave. Graphics and the environments look very good. It’s generated using the frost bite game engine. Sounds are very good too. The enemies are wildlife, monsters and other humans with guns, all can be dangerous. The multiplayer works very well but we hope the game has high difficulty, especially since you can play with friends. The action seems great so far and it will only get better as it get closer to release date.
Overall Anthem is going to get a lot of activity and excitement from gamers. There’s variety, good visuals, lots of action, mobility, creativity and multiplayer. Off course there is much more we can write about and mention but we will leave it as this. The developers ‘BioWare’ have done a very good job with this game. We at X35 Earthwalker look forward to seeing everything Anthem has to offer as it’s potential is very high. Now Anthem may have a massive world but it’s so tiny when compared to the size of… the ‘Earth Walk!’
Sea of thieves as you should know by now is a shared world adventure game developed by ‘Rare‘ and published by ‘Microsoft Studios‘ is one of those games that has a lot of potential. The developers, have done a very good job with this game and there are million of players currently. As we hoped, they didn’t stop there. More has come to Sea of thieves. Now the only update that has yet to come is the Forsaken shores. We are only just talking about these different updates.
Most of the new stuff has already happen by now. The cursed sails was the second and is most likely the more obvious of the three. Basically some undead crews are also roaming the seas. This is the one of the things we mentioned in our first G-blog about Sea of Thieves we were hoping for skeleton crews who are hard to kill to sail around and give some players a serious run for their money… or should we say loot. Sort of like Captain Barbossa in pirates of the Caribbean, curse of the black pearl. Cursed sails also brought in a new alliance system and a new ship type. The skeleton battles was a temporary thing but we hope they bring it back.
The newer one that most are talking about is the forsaken shores. This update is suppose to be available the 27th of September. Forsaken shores opens up a region called there devil’s roar. Now this area is friendly nor is it safe. There are rocks being launched from volcanoes which can destroy your ship and you along with it. There are geysers which naturally you do not want to be near when they activate and thanks to all that heat and fire, some waters are too hot for even the toughest pirates to handle, especially when it’s superheated. Those are just some hazards, so expect more.
It’s quite obvious that the developers are working hard to make Sea of Thieves a major game. One update that got a lot of players excited was the hungering deep. A giant super shark basically that hanged out at a certain location and when conditions are met, it shows up to battle pirates. It was huge, intimidating and many didn’t know what to do about it. When you look at all these things and everything else in Sea of Thieves you can see the potential. We at X35 Earthwalker have many ideas and we hope they have the creativity that we have and get some more big exciting stuff out there.
Overall if you are already a Sea of Thieves player then you have much to look forward too especially since an open shared world game like this relies on the new updates and additions. If you have never played then do your own research and see for yourself the growth of the game and how many players are already out there before making your decision whether to join this world or not. The developers have done well. Now Sea of Thieves may have some big things coming but all of them are small when compared too… the ‘Earth Walk!’
Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 is definitely on the way and is coming with a battle Royale mode called ‘Blackout’. The developers are ‘Treyarch‘ and ‘Beenox‘ while the publisher is ‘Activison‘. Many have a lot to say about battle Royale. Now let’s see what we have to say.
Battle Royale are very big games containing so many factors and things to consider. Therefore they are never easy to get right. The size of the map, what type of weapons should be in it, vehicles yes or no? That’s just some stuff. There’s nothing with a game trying battle Royale. Too many immature people say that if you try battle Royale like call of Duty did, then you are just copying Fortnite and desperate. That’s stupid. Fortnite and Pubg didn’t invent battle royale, even old wrestling games had that. If the game has a suitable setting, universe size, genre etc then they can try it.
Call of Duty’s Blackout so far definitely looks serious. The map use for Blackout has been declared the largest map ever in Call of Duty history. There’s a dam, hill and mountainous elevated areas, buildings, sand, a bit of greenery, water and a good amount of cover and open space. This is allowing for multiple forms of combat whether standard shoot outs while using cover or letting your opponents chase you and then going round to take the high ground for that elevation advantage. This giant map will have many battles and hyped moments for sure.
Unlike Fornite Blackout will have vehicles. The developers on their website said land, sea and air vehicles are available. We have seen, Mongoose from halo – We mean the ATV which can have one driver and one passenger who can shoot, a cargo truck which holds 4 passengers (and off course one driver). Concerning the sea there is the zodiac inflatable boat which has one driver and a passenger, it’s all about speed. For air there is a helicopter and we know everyone will be fighting over this thing. Again (not doing a comparison) but remember when playing Halo Reach trying to secure an objective but multiple enemies in a falcon flying over you shooting you down. Helicopters will be a problem.
Off course there is more. Those stupid RC – XDs cars things are here too. So players have to keep their ears open at all times or a small car comes in and messes up your whole plan. There’s something much worse in these battle Royale matches. Call of Duty fans are no stranger to them… zombies. Imagine all that battle Royale Blackout style goodness finding a nice place to take cover but zombies are there. they will not be a game change in our opinion since they should be easy to kill but firing will give away your position, may cause you to use up ammo, or force you out of a certain location.
off course there will be standard weapons. So expect to find pistols, assault rifles, machine guns, shotguns and the most feared, in some cases, the sniper rifle. With a map like the one for Call of Duty Blackout, all of these will have some use. There are multiple items. Some allow you to set up traps like trip wires. There are grenades, healing kits and much more. How much more? There are 17 considerable perks, 3 tiers of armour and health, 12 equipment items, 24 different weapons and 8 primary ammunition types and 125 items in total but off course games like this always gets updates and expansions so expect much more.
We checked out some gameplay and everything looks quite good. No offence but the best way to sum it up is that it looks like an improved Pubg. Glider suits are used for entering the battlefield which looks cool, graphics are very good, the environment seems to be designed well but more variety is needed for the future. A battle royale will off course have some nerfs and buffs as big games like this will be almost too difficult to get right the first time. We like the idea players on foot could be hiding from a helicopter and a crew on the sea is patrolling by all coasts. This danger from all directions really does hep keep things as a battle Royale.
Overall Call of Duty: Black Ops 4’s Blackout does look very good. Doesn’t seem to be much lag or hit detection issues. The graphics again are very good. We hope for more items in the future and that they should be kept separate in another mode. The developers Treyarch and Beenox did a very good job with this mode. We at X35 Earthwalker look forward to seeing how well this all goes. Now Call of duty’s Blackout may seem like it has all the good stuff but all it’s good stuff combined doesn’t stack up when compared to the goodness of… the ‘Earth Walk!’
Mega Man 11 is the latest and 11th main game, in the Mega man series and is being developed by ‘Capcom‘. It is coming out the 2nd of October 2018 on the Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, PS4 and PC. The Blue bomber is back. Let’s take a look.
In Mega Man 11, Mega Man must fight even more robots (doesn’t he get bored). This time he is facing the robot masters to save the day. He’s the only one who can do it… but… will the bad guys let him? The robot masters are strong and very dangerous. You know the drill, each one stands out, has different abilities and patterns of attack. Once defeated Mega Man can take their weapons for himself.
Something different though. When he gets their weapons it actually changes the appearance of Mega Man. For example if players defeat Block man (lame name) and get his weapon, then Mega Man has the same shape but gets different colours, a heavy looking helmet and his cannon is replaced with a bigger rocky hand. It’s a good touch to add to the game and it makes you want to know what other looks he will have when he gets the other weapons too.
Now Mega Man fans should be happy that things like the gameplay are pretty much how you remember it. as in run, shoot, jump, shoot, evade, shoot, slide and shoot some more. Mega Man did get an upgrade though. Introducing the double gear system. With this Mega Man becomes more powerful and versatile. He can either boost the power of his mega buster to completely destroy enemies or even slow down time allowing players to dodge attacks and maneuver much more easily. Now that’s an upgrade. He still wouldn’t be able to beat Astro boy in a death battle but he’s getting there.
There’s more. Mega Man 11 have extra modes like missions and time trials. There is also galleries containing concept art and for competitive reasons, there is also a global leaderboards. Now concerning difficulty, as we know Mega Man is also known for it’s high difficulty. Mega Man 11 has multiple difficulty modes meaning seasoned Mega Man fans can pick a high difficulty to get the classic feel while new players can get something easier. So read and pick wisely.
We checked out some gameplay and Mega Man 11 looks really good. It does seem quite classic as well. The new graphic style works well in our opinion. The back grounds and environments are very well done as well. Things look very smooth as well. It does not look that difficult though but then again, looking and playing are two different things. The robot masters are looking real cool though, especially Fuse Man. The effects are very good.
Overall Mega Man 11 looks like a very good game. We don’t have a problem with the graphics, too many gamers are being complainers, like what they do with every new Halo game. Not everything can stay the same. The developers ‘Capcom’ did a good job with this game. We at X35 Earthwalker are looking forward to seeing what Mega Man 11 has to offer. Now Mega Man has some strong enemies to face but none are as strong as… the ‘Earth Walk!’
