25-Aug-2016, 7:00 pm Fyra Frost

Treyarch has revealed the contents and the release date for the fourth and final expansion pack planned for their shooter Call of Duty: Black Ops 3. With the name of Salvation, this new DLC includes four multiplayer maps and the last episode of the Zombies storyline, pretty much following the same format as the previous three. “In Revelations, we meet up with the Origins characters after they’ve taken an epic journey through space and time–all of their struggles lead to this very moment. In this, the final chapter of the Zombies experience, Richtofen, Dempsey, Takeo, and Nikolai finally come face to face with the mysterious Doctor Monty in The House. Confronted by an ancient evil, our heroes must fight the zombie horde once more in the final battle to save their immortal souls,” reads the press release. Call of Duty®: Black Ops III – Revelations Prologue The multiplayer maps included in the pack are a mix of new designs and remakes of one of the most iconic Call of Duty: World at War scenarios. In this case the first reworked one is Rupture, based on the Outskirts map, where the old buildings have been remade as a hi-tech facility. The other three maps will allow us to visit quite different places that range from the ruins of a medieval castle in Citadel, to a giant well-stocked family picnic table in Micro, (yes! a giant picnic table as battlefield!), or even a western-style re-imagining of the fan-favorite map Standoff from Call of Duty: Black Ops II in the map called Outlaw. Call Of Duty: Black Ops 3 – Salvation is scheudled for release on September 6th for Playstation 4 exclusively. If you want to play it on your PC or Xbox One you will have to wait until October to do so. It is included in Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 Season Pass but you can also purchase it separatedly.

Vermintide arrives to consoles this fall

27-Jul-2016, 6:32 pm Fyra Frost

Warhammer Fantasy Battles tabletop game has become the perfect inspiration for many games over the years. Games like Shadow of the Horned Rat, Dark Omen, Mark of Chaos, Mordheim: City of the Dammed or Age Of Reckoning have become perfect examples of titles that have managed to capture the essence of Games Workshop’s miniature game and successfully turn it into a good videogame. In most cases those titles have been strategy games, so it was quite refreshing to see Fatshark Studio take a different approach when they created Warhammer: End Times – Vermintide as a first person shooter. They did a great job and released what’s probably the best co-operative multiplayer game of last year with more than half a million players. If fighting against endless hordes of Skaven for the city of Ubersreik is not motivating enough, Vermintide has a fluid gameplay, their five classes are unique and quite different from each other, it has a solid combat system with easy-to-grab/difficult-to-master mechanics, and manages to do all that being quite faithful to the franchise and mantaining game immersion. All that makes you want to have more after eatch match. Warhammer: End Times – Vermintide | Console Announcement Trailer Today Fatshark have announced that they will finally release Warhammer: End Times – Vermintide on Playstation 4 and Xbox One this fall, more exactly on October 4. Nordic Games will be the company in charge of the Worldwide distribution of the physical editions, that will also include Sigmar’s Blessing and Drachenfels DLC. All we can say is that, it was about time! The post Vermintide arrives to consoles this fall appeared first on News, updates from the DLCompare.com Blog.

22-Jul-2016, 8:27 pm Fyra Frost

City Interactive Games has made public the demonstration video that was shown behind closed doors during the E3 2015. It was available for press members only but now we all get a chance to see what they have been working on for the third installment of the tactical shooting series. Sniper Ghost Warrior 3 Developer Commentary Sniper: Ghost Warrior 3’s lead narrative designer, Jess Lebow, guides us through the video with his comments where he explains some aspects of the gameplay and what they aim for on this new AAA title. The use of a drone for exploration and information gathering takes a very important role on this specific mission, and the trailer shows that a meticulous preparation can make things much easier when we are trying to locate and eliminate a target without being killed in the process. There are some aspects of the game that could use some polishing but it definitely looks good and shows enough potential to be a great shooting title for those that like commandos.

Total War: Warhammer blood & gore DLC is out

01-Jul-2016, 6:33 pm Fyra Frost

Developer Creative Assembly keeps adding more stuff to their recently released title of strategic battles inspired on the Warhammer Fantasy Battles tabletop miniatures game. This time they have released a new DLC that provides exactly what you can read on its name, Blood for the Blood God. The theme selected to announce this gruesome addon couldn’t be more appropiate, since Khorne is the Chaos God of blood, war, rage and murder. Total War: WARHAMMER – Blood for the Blood God Trailer This DLC adds a list of all new effects and features that will make the game more realistic, (in a bloody way at least): Blood spurts Gory spatter on unit models Limb and head dismemberment (humanoids and non-legendary characters) Zombies, skeletons and Grave Guard may continue to fight after dismemberment! Explosive Gibbing from deadly mid-torso strikes Blood-drenched UI elements New random, global campaign events that generate greater carnage in battle Someone could argue that they are being cheap, selling something that should have been in Total War: Warhammer from the start. But you have to keep in mind that if something like this was included in the base game it would have been rated for older people, making it available to less people. Maybe adding it as a toggle option with an age confirmation check requirement would have been the solution? Other than that, Creative Assembly keeps polishing this jewel of a game with their first big update that comes loaded with balance changes, performance fixes, multiplayer maps and a new type of cavalry unit for the Vampire Counts army, the Blood Knights. You can read all the changes implemented in the patch notes. Now it’s time for my Chaos army to continue crushing all hope and spreading corruption through the Old World, hoping that they keep steady that flow of updates and free stuff. “Blood for the Blood God! Skulls for the Skull Throne!” The post Total War: Warhammer blood & gore DLC is out appeared first on News, updates from the DLCompare.com Blog.
