Training Mode comes to PUBG on Xbox One

By 1 Comment

For now, you can play on the PTS (test server).

PUBG Corp. has updated again the version of PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds for Xbox One, this time to introduce a feature already installed in its PC counterpart: the training mode . As its name suggests, it is a space specially designed to become familiar with the controls and mechanics of this battle royale; although for now, you can only play in the PTS (Public Test Server).

The mode of training is housed in a special map of PUBG of only 2 square kilometers and with capacity for 20 people. It includes zones designed specifically to practice with each weapon, melee, running and jumping or driving. During combat, the health of the players can not drop below 1 PS to test the damage of the weapons without risk.

You can see more about the training mode in the video attached to the news. It does not seem to be the only novelty on the way, since days ago the official account of PUBG already anticipated in social networks some type of event for Halloween that has not yet been revealed.

Ghost of a Tale will be Available Soon on Xbox One

By Leave a Comment

The PS4 version will be delayed until at least the beginning of 2019.

Ghost of a Tale will be Available Soon on Xbox One

After its premiere on PC last March, the charming Ghost of a Tale is now heading to consoles . In a new update to the game’s blog , SeithCG explains that Microsoft has granted ‘port’ approval. “Among other things, it means that the final version of Ghost of a Tale works on Xbox One without setting the console on fire,” jokes the author. He also shares a video that demonstrates how the game works.

The version of PS4 has a somewhat less clear future: Seaven Studio will be responsible for bringing the game to the Sony console, with a view to putting it on sale at the beginning of 2019. And what about Nintendo Switch ? SeithCG has not specified anything about its launch, but it has dropped a hopeful comment: “my position has changed slightly from ‘I’m not sure it’s even possible’ to ‘we could study it in the future”.

Álex Pascual had the opportunity to talk about this great little adventure in the analysis of Ghost of a Tale : “It has some technical failures and could be rounder in the final stages, but his proposal is so original and well taken that it leaves any player amazed to approach him knowing what he is looking for.”

Observer, Outlast, Hello Neighbor and Dead Island: Riptide will be available soon.

Xbox Game Pass Prepares you for Halloween with Four New Games

Time to get a pair of spare underpants: Microsoft is determined to put you in tension this Halloween with four thematic games for Xbox Game Pass that mix horror, zombies, mystery and even neighbors. Although they have not been officially revealed yet, some subscribers have already found warnings on their menus that make it very clear what titles we are talking about; Observer, Outlast, Hello Neighbor and Dead Island: Riptide Definitive Edition. They can not be downloaded yet, though.

That said, the official Game Pass account on Twitter has been generating excitement all week by joking with a “patch of pumpkins” that, at the time of writing these lines, is 95% ready. It is likely that Microsoft’s formal announcement will arrive on Monday, perhaps together with the games themselves or their availability date. We leave you with a brief presentation of each one, in case you do not know them yet.

  • Outlast is a survival horror involving veteran developers from Ubisoft and EA, the Red Barrels company. The game is led by the journalist Miles Upshur, who investigates an anonymous report in a psychiatric hospital, which will trigger a gruesome story of terror and suspense.
  • The creators of Layers of the Fear sign for their part Observer, a ‘walking simulator’ of suspense that transports us to a dark world of cyberpunk aesthetics where our protagonist, an agent of the special forces of the police, has the ability to get into the mind and the memories of people through hacking.
  • You move to a new neighborhood and as soon as you arrive you realize that your neighbor is hiding something horrible in his basement … What are you doing? The Hello Neighbor video game gives you the answer and invites you to enter your house in a secretive way and find out what is hiding there. The challenge will not be so simple, and its leaders promise an adventure in which the AI learns of our movements in a plot where there is no shortage of puzzles or terror.
  • The undead of Techland return in Dead Island: Riptide, new action and role game that maintains the line of the original and adds new game mechanics based on the need to fortify a position with various defensive resources to survive the waves of zombies. Face the holiday paradise taken by the dead.

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.

Another of the great novelties of this update is related to the support of Alexa and Cortana, which will allow Xbox One users to control the console using voice commands whenever they use devices compatible with any of these two technologies. On the other hand, the console is supported by Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos, at least for now for Netflix content, although Microsoft hopes to expand the number of compatible applications before the end of this year.

Also, the “Narrator” option adds new languages, among which is Spanish, as well as Portuguese, Polish or Swedish among others. This update is available on all models of the Xbox One family.

“Today there are more than 3000 video games available on Xbox One, and thousands will be developed in the future, so we are preparing the ground for these games to reach Project xCloud with no additional effort,” Microsoft reports. To this end, the company has partnered with content developers to adapt their titles to this new service that offers “the most advanced streaming technology in the industry” with the sole purpose that fans can “play freely regardless of the system “where they do it.
