Survive

Alright, let’s end this quick. Konami made an announcement about the latest title in the Metal Gear franchise. After a long hiatus, many wondered where the game disappeared to because no updates were made in regards to Metal Gear: Survive. With some fans speculating that the game got quietly canceled.

Oh, how much I would’ve wished this was the case. However, it seems like Konami wants to keep on pushing their fans’ limits and provided an announcement for an update in the Metal Gear Twitter.

Afterwards, the company finally revealed that Metal Gear: Survive will be making its debut in the Americas by February 20. The first Metal Gear game made without the supervision of Hideo Kojima will also be available for Europe by February 22.

This is painful to write, ladies and gentlemen, but I’ll continue regardless. Anyways, those players who pre-order the game will be getting early access to stuff and cosmetics. Because of course Konami would add to the already awful pre-order culture.

Those who pre-order the game will be getting the “Survival Pack”. Which consists of 4 Golden weapons, 2 Additional Emotes, Motherbase Nameplate and more cosmetic stuff.

Not only that, but we have also been provided with some screenshots of the game and its narrative. Which is going to take place after Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes, where the members of Big Boss’ base are trapped in an alternate universe and have to fight zombies.

I wonder how long will Konami take until they start incorporating Microtransactions and Loot Boxes with this game. I mean, considering they are jumping at every single bandwagon ever. Would it really be that bizarre to see some “Survival Kits” that offer some sort of weapons that kill more enemies and such? But eh, let’s see how this plays out.

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.

Battle Pass for Crash Team Rumble is not necessary to unlock new characters; the upcoming closed beta

The competitive multiplayer spinoff of Crash Team Rumble, which will be available on both the PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4, will debut on June 20. A closed beta for the game will be held in the coming weeks, and the good news that character unlocks won’t be dependent on Battle Pass progress was just revealed.

Publisher Activision made its intentions very clear in a lengthy blog post, writing, “New heroes and powers will be unlocked through in-game challenges rather than being connected to the Battle Pass because we want every player to have a balanced experience while enjoying the N. Sane fun that Crash Team Rumble has to offer.” “For those who wish to get a WUMP on the season’s newest looks, Battle Passes will solely reward cosmetic goods; however, cosmetics will still be earnable through participation in seasonal events.”

Those who preorder the platformer/battle royale mix can take part in a limited beta between April 20 and 24. For those who want to jump right in, online matches against other players and practice matches versus AI bots will be offered.

How does Crash Team Rumble strike you? Will you participate in the closed beta test?

Indie Not on PlayStation Wins BAFTA Game of the Year, Beating PS5, PS4’s Greatest Hits

God of War Ragnarok and Elden Ring were both beaten out for the British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) award for Best Game by a tiny little independent title called Vampire Survivors, which isn’t even accessible on PlayStation systems. Do you really believe that?

Putting all lightheartedness aside, Vampire Survivors was something of a phenomenon in 2022, and you would have to be living under a rock (or live offline) to have missed it. It burst into prominence and eventually became a favorite among industry insiders. A fiendishly addictive fundamental gameplay loop hides beneath a deceptively simple exterior, earning developer Luca Galante, aka Poncle, this year’s BAFTA for Game Design as well as another honor.

There hasn’t been any news of the mega-hit coming to PlayStation as of yet, so there’s probably some sort of exclusivity agreement in place or anything else blocking it. Perhaps one day we will be granted access to it, but until then, console yourself with one of the numerous high-end games on our preferred platform, such as The Last of Us, which won Best Game back in 2014.

In slightly related news, Shuhei Yoshida, a PlayStation legend, received a BAFTA Fellowship, the highest honor bestowed by the organization.

What do you think about the Vampire Survivors’ victory—do you believe it was well-deserved or totally absurd?

While we felt Crusader Kings 3: Console Edition was fantastic when it was launched on the PS5 last year, we were only able to play the base game. We are incredibly grateful that the great Royal Court extension will be coming to consoles. This is a regal proclamation that we could not be more delighted to make.

It’s pretty difficult to switch back after you’ve experienced the conveniences and enhancements that Royal Court offers to the well-stocked table, as anyone who has played Crusader Kings 3 on PC knows. It’s not just for show; players will be able to use trophies and priceless pieces of art to adorn their throne room, which adds a minor RPG system to an already magnificently complex adventure.

If you haven’t already and like the basic Crusader King’s experience, we highly encourage you to give Royal Court a try. This expansion is the ideal reason to jump back in for another round of backroom maneuvering. Are you going to create your own royal court?
