Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus’ New Trailer Provides Several Surprises

Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus is almost upon us, and Bethesda is hyping up the Nazi-murder simulator with a new trailer that shows a few new faces.

The Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus launch trailer is about as high-octane as you can get, which is par for the course with the Wolfenstein franchise these days. Sure, it features American resistance leader Grace Walker giving a rousing speech to stand up against the occupying Nazi regime, even if it’s with a knife or a clenched fist, but mostly the video is about the one-man army known as B.J. Blazkowicz tearing through Nazi forces. But, the promise of decimating the Nazi army isn’t the only highlight of the trailer. No, it’s who’s among those forces that is meant to get our blood pumping and excited for the release of Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus.

While series antagonist Wilhelm “Deathsead” Strasse won’t be returning (spoiler: he died in Wolfenstein: The New Order), his right hand woman Frau Engel will pick up the swastika-shaped baton as the big bad. And yes, in the trailer she’s talking in front of a desecrated Lincoln Memorial where Honest Abe has been replaced by Adolf Hitler in what can only be described as a mirror universe version of the “I Have a Dream” speech. But the hit list doesn’t end there; viewers will remember that in the “Nuke Area 52” gameplay video, KKK members were getting all chummy with occupying Nazi soldiers. Well, the latest trailer confirms that Klansmen will be among those opposing Blaskowicz (and getting their faces shotgunned off by Blakowicz as well); I can already hear the angry comments complaining that evil people are being portrayed as evil in a video game. Oh, and at the end of the trailer, Hitler, albeit a horribly aged and decrepit version of himself, makes a special guest appearance. Personally, I’m hoping his boss fight is saved for Wolfenstein III, because you can never kill too many Nazis in video games.

Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus releases October 27th for PC, Xbox One, and PlayStation 4. That date can’t come soon enough.

All you have to do to get my attention is talk about video games, technology, anime, and/or Dungeons & Dragons - also people in spandex fighting rubber suited monsters.

Shift Up unveils the intriguing details behind the physical packaging of Stellar Blade for the PS5

It appears that many

are eagerly anticipating the launch of the highly anticipated PS5 exclusive, Stellar Blade. Shift Up, the developer, has shared a lengthy video showcasing the “secrets” found in the physical box of the game for PS5. From what we can gather, these secrets include a reversible cover/dust jacket and a download code for cosmetic items.

We must clarify that while we do appreciate the variant cover, it may be more appealing than the game’s standard art. However, it is not something we would typically classify as a “secret.”. However, what’s interesting is that Shift Up has confirmed through the comments section that this will be the case in all regions. Additionally, the visually striking action RPG will remain uncensored worldwide.

It’s refreshing to witness a developer going the extra mile for physical collectors, and it’s evident that the developer is determined to leave a favorable mark in the console realm. Stellar Blade is set to make its highly anticipated debut this Friday, April 26th, exclusively on the PS5.

  • If you want to join in, navigate to Settings, then Captures & Broadcasts, followed by Captures, Auto Captures, and finally Community Game Help. From there, simply choose the option to participate. Users have the option to unsubscribe whenever they choose
  • During Remote Play, players now have the option to hide the persistent message “Remote Play connected.” that appears on their game screen. To ensure a seamless gaming experience, navigate to the Settings menu, then proceed to the System section. From there, locate the Remote Play option and activate the Hide Remote Play Connection Status feature
  • The system’s software performance and stability have been significantly enhanced
  • The messages and usability on some screens have been enhanced

While not the most groundbreaking update, the Community Game Help feature has the potential to be intriguing, contingent upon the number of games that offer support for it. What are your thoughts on the latest update? Feel free to share your thoughts in the comments section below.

New PS5 Patch Introduces Rare 40FPS Mode for Avatar Game

Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora has received an exciting update that introduces a new graphical mode, elevating the game’s visual experience. With a smooth frame rate of 40 frames per second and enhanced resolutions, players can now immerse themselves in even more stunning and detailed environments. Now downloadable on PS5 with the latest patch 3.2, this mode is compatible with 4K TVs that can handle up to 120 Hz. Before this update, Avatar PS5 only offered quality and performance modes. However, with this new option, players can now enjoy the benefits of both modes after downloading the 2.4GB update.

Throughout the PS5 era, 40fps modes have been a rarity, much to the disappointment of the hardcore community. Insomniac Games first introduced them in Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales and later added the feature to Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart. They also included it in Marvel’s Spider-Man 2. Other PS5 titles, such as Hogwarts Legacy, Lies of P, and God of War Ragnarok, also offer 40fps modes.

In addition to that, Patch 3.2 for Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora brings along the following:

Worldwide:

  • Research Station Alpha now features a convenient Fast Travel option
  • The issue of controller re-mapping and resetting on game restart has been resolved
  • Addressed multiple instances of crashes
  • I corrected a few spelling errors
  • Addressed the issue of voice lines overlapping during dialogue

Primary Objectives & Optional Objectives:

  • [Main Quest: Shadows of the Past] This main quest is an intriguing journey into the depths of history. Addressed a bug that previously hindered quest progression in co-op mode

More bug fixes have been implemented.

  • [Available on all platforms] The rescued human characters no longer return to the Resistance HQ wearing masks
  • Available on all platforms. There is a noticeable improvement in the visibility of NPCs when they are at the edge of the Player’s vision
