Comrades

Well, the feature that caught my curiosity the most in regards of Final Fantasy XV is here in a closed beta phase. To be specific, it’s the Comrades multiplayer mode. Which will be getting a preview come next week (August 3 to 8).

This closed online test is an exclusive preview that allows players to experience select elements of the upcoming multiplayer expansion. Now players will be able to take their custom avatar on multiplayer quests with up to three other players. With Noctis and the rest of the gang of bros coming at a later date.

Comrades mode requirements and features

In order to get access to the test version of the feature. Players are required to have a Season Pass and a subscription to PlayStation Plus or an Xbox Live Gold membership. The players that meet this requirement will start off a base camp and play through a custom tutorial. Only to be followed by them taking on their own quests.

This test will allow players to choose from a variety of weapons like katana, club, dagger, and shuriken weapons. The attack patterns are variations from those Noctis does in the game, however. So new strategies have to be made around them.

Another one of the features in the test mode will be its quests. The game will have you going on quests to gain Metoshards (Which can’t be usable in the test version). And also retrieving one ingredient per person for the group’s cook to make at the end of the day.

The customization is also limited to the preset variations the game offers, however. A reminder must be done that this feature is barely just entering a test phase, and its full features will be added at a later date. This is certainly a very interesting mode, and I look forward to seeing what Square-Enix has in their hands with it.

I always wanted to be a journalist who listens. The Voice of the Unspoken and someone heavily involved in the gaming community. From playing as a leader of a competitive multi-branch team to organizing tournaments for the competitive scene to being involved in a lot of gaming communities. I want to keep moving forward as a journalist.

While Sony may not classify Gran Turismo 7 as a live-service game, the team at Polyphony Digital certainly approaches it with a similar mindset. The game continues to impress with every new update, and although v1.44 may be smaller compared to previous versions, it still manages to enhance the already extensive content of this simulation racer.

The update, now available worldwide, introduces three new cars: the Audi R8 Coupé V10 Plus ’16, the Lamborghini Urus ’18, and the Toyota GT-One (TS020) ’99. Furthermore, it introduces three fresh events to World Circuits, an extra menu to conquer in the GT Café single-player campaign, and a collection of livery stickers inspired by the upcoming Highspeed Étoile anime, set to debut next week in Japan.

If you’re not already acquainted with Highspeed Étoile, you can watch a trailer right here. “Sony has announced that a collection of 26 stickers, consisting of 8 title logos and 18 main character stickers, will be made available for a limited time,” stated Sony on the PS Blog. In addition, Fukushima will be included as a backdrop in the title’s beloved photography mode.

This author has consistently praised the realistic portrayal of tennis in TopSpin 4. After more than a decade, we are thrilled to witness the release of TopSpin 2K25, which expands upon the success of its renowned predecessor. This gameplay video provides a comprehensive overview of the features discussed in our recent preview while also incorporating relevant footage to enhance understanding.

The series’ swing system sets it apart from arcade-style games like Virtua Tennis, as it requires players to charge up their shots in a different way. In order to succeed, timing is crucial, and fortunately, a new meter above your player will assist you in achieving that. Surfaces have their own distinct characteristics, such as clay, where you’ll experience a noticeable amount of sliding.

The game ensures that every player has a distinct set of animations, adding a touch of individuality to each competitor. The courts, found in all Grand Slams, possess a remarkable amount of individuality and charm. It is mentioned in the video that with each in-game season, players can expect a plethora of additional content, such as animation packs. This indicates that there will be plenty to anticipate even after the game’s initial release.
