The Black Market Returns to Call of Duty Black Ops 4 on PS4

By Leave a Comment

It will take a week to be seen by PC and Xbox One.

The Black Market Returns to Call of Duty Black Ops 4 on PS4

Along with a new patch full of improvements and corrections, Treyarch introduced yesterday in Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 the Black Market, the in-game store of the game. As it happened in previous iterations of the CoD series, it will give access to a good handful of cosmetic contents of all kinds. You can already browse your merchandise on PS4, and next Friday on PC and Xbox One.

“The objects of contraband will arrive in Operations by seasons, and each one will be accompanied by new contents every two months” can be read in the official communiqué. The first season is First Strike, and includes new Blackout characters, weapons and special outfits, as well as gestures and business cards. There will also be special events from time to time, which refresh the contents of the store with extra cosmetics: the first will be dedicated to Halloween and will start today on PS4 (and on October 27 on the other platforms).

In November, the Black Market of Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 will also offer paid content in Blackjack’s Shop. The offered objects will have a weekly refreshment, and apparently, they will completely abandon the loot boxes in favor of the direct purchase of content. You can read our opinion about the game in the analysis of Black Ops 4 .

Sony would still have an Exclusive PS4 to Announce Before PS5

According to an insider, the company already focuses efforts on the next generation.

Sony would still have an Exclusive PS4 to Announce Before PS5

While press and users are debating whether a new generation is needed, from Sony at least seem to be concentrating part of their efforts on that hypothetical PlayStation 5. However, in addition to everything presented months ago, the Japanese company would still be saving an exclusive adventure to present before making the promotional leap towards its new hardware.

All this as long as we heed the warning of Benji, an insider, in the ResetEra forums . On the question of whether Sony should increase its presence in future fairs to continue promoting PS4, with the likely launch of PS5 not before 2020, this person said that the Japanese company had already shown the public its main cartridges save this latest adventure.

At the insistence of other users did not want to disclose more information about what video game could be, or what study would be behind. There are several internal development teams working on proposals not yet submitted. For example, Naughty Dog is already recruiting staff for a secret project according to the information of another insider, Daniel R, usual source of superhero movies. But everything seems to indicate that this type of productions would go away for the next generation.

Know The Size Of Red Dead Redemption 2 on PS4 and Xbox One

By Leave a Comment

In the Sony, the system will go to the rumored 105 GB, on Xbox One up to 88.57 GB.

Know The Size Of Red Dead Redemption 2 on PS4 and Xbox One

After many rumors, today there is finally official data on how long the download of Red Dead Redemption 2 will be on PS4 and Xbox One. On the Sony platform, it will require the rumored 105 GB, while on Xbox One it will be enough with “only” 88.57 GB.

This report would be in contradiction with the last information that spoke of 50 GB for Red Dead Redemption 2, and that the 105 GB was in fact an exaggerated estimate of the developers. To find out if it is just an excessive figure, we will have to wait for the launch of RDR2 on October 26. In the meantime, these data are removed from the Xbox Marketplace and from the PlayStation UK support account.

This morning we also published a story that estimated the duration of Red Dead Redemption 2 from Rockstar in 65 hours, having in its file a work with 300,000 animations, 500,000 lines of dialogue and many more lines of code.

Sony Recruits Staff to work on PS5 Marketing

They find a job offer that mentions the next console.

Sony Recruits Staff to work on PS5 Marketing

There are only a few weeks until Xbox One and PS4 are five years old in stores, but while we look back, Microsoft and Sony are already looking forward: from the Reseteraforums, they report on a new job offer from Sony where they are looking for a ” senior product manager “for” the [development and advertising] campaign of the next generation of PlayStation.”

What is perhaps even more interesting is that this offer was issued on Linkedin just one day after a Sony executive said that ” new generation ” hardware is needed. Although Sony has not directly mentioned PS5 recently, it seems an open secret that at this point the company is preparing to present it to the public.

The question that remains in the air is, “when will we see the PS5 ad ?” We know that this year there will be no PlayStation Experience, so E3 2019 could perhaps be the right place to talk about it. Of course, all we can do until then is to be alert to possible clues.

It is a compilation of PS4 that includes the classic Rondo of Blood and Symphony of the Night.

Presented officially only a few days ago, Konami has assured that there are no plans to bring Castlevania: Requiem to other platforms, is, therefore, an exclusive release of PS4. The Japanese company responsible, among others, the Silent Hill saga, has not gone into more detail about the reasons that led him to rule out the release of the game on other machines.

As detailed in the Castlevania ad: Requiem, it is a compilation that brings back updated versions of the classic Rondo of Blood and Symphony of the Night. Both titles will be released in the Sony console with a 4K resolution (rescaled), new rendering modes and compatibility with trophies.

The announcement of Castlevania Requiem: Symphony of the Night and Rondo of Blood comes just days before the release of the second season of Castlevania on Netflix, an animated series that has left a good taste in the mouth among fans.

New World Record of PlayStation Platinum Trophies

The well-known player Hakam Karim “Hakoom” achieves this achievement with 1,691 trophies.

New World Record of PlayStation Platinum Trophies

Hakam Karim “Hakoom” has won the Guinness Record, which credits him as the player with the highest number of PlayStation Platinum trophies in the world. Last year we talked about Hakoom since he was one of the only two players to beat the 1,200 marks worldwide. Leaving behind its most direct competitor, it already totals more than 70,000 trophies on Sony platforms.

Guinness World Records has given him the distinctive badge where his merit is recognized, but this fan keeps winning trophies. In fact, from the date on which he achieved the record Hakoom has won even more platinum trophies: According to his PSN profile he has currently achieved 1,717 platinum. Hakoom explained in Reddit how he has achieved such a figure. The secret seems to be to start different games at once on different PlayStation platforms to win the platinum trophies faster, also playing an average of 15 hours a day. This explanation has not convinced the rest of the community, as many fans point out that it is suspicious that obtained some trophies with so little difference of time between one and another, although Hakoom maintains that he has not made any type of trap and that he has supported with proofs his record.

In any case, Hakoom only takes a lead of 4 points to his closest rival, Roughdawg 4, which could snatch the world record at any time.

Reggie Fils-Aimé: Xbox and PlayStation are not Competitors of Nintendo

Nintendo competes for entertainment time.

Reggie Fils-Aimé: Xbox and PlayStation are not Competitors of Nintendo

As part of the Geekwire 2018 technology summit that was held between October 1 and October 3 in Seattle, Reggie Fils-Aimé, president and chief operating officer of Nintendo of America , denied viewing on Xbox and PlayStation to competitors from his company, because he said he was interested in the time people spend on entertainment, implying that it goes beyond the scope of video games.

“I do not [see them as competitors],” the executive responded to a question he was asked about it. According to a report by Ars Technica, Fils-Aimé proceeded to break down the time that people devote to each activity in their lives, day by day. “The rest of the time is entertainment time, that’s what I compete for, minute by minute, the time you spend on the web, watching a movie, watching a lecture: that’s all the entertainment time we compete for. My competitive set is much bigger than my direct competitors at Sony and Microsoft, I compete for time, when I do it, I have to be creative and innovative, in order to win that battle.”

To put things in context, during the talk, Reggie Fils-Aimé had already put a lot of emphasis on the fronts where Nintendo has business, that is to say, video games, of course, mobile phones and the use of their intellectual properties, an area where they are already well-documented projects of amusement parks and movies . The manager pointed out that Nintendo’s approach to the future will be to take advantage of properties such as Mario, Zelda, and Pokémon through multiple entertainment platforms to grow the company.

It is worth mentioning that Reggie Fils-Aimé is not alone in this idea of entertainment time as the true goal of video game companies. During the BCTECH technology summit in early 2016, Andrew Wilson, head of Electronic Arts, also designated the time as the real battlefield for companies like his.
