Respawn dial down Titanfall matchmaking changes "to help players find games"
Respawn last week sold us on the idea of a revamped matchmaking system for Titanfall, but have since eased off a bit on the vamping. They’ll work on improving the system and tackling some new bugs - while ensuring players can find games in the meantime.
Battlefield 4 loadout presets to let us spend more time toppling skyscrapers from today
Load in... load out. Load in... load out. Oh, sorry friends: you’ve interrupted me during my morning pre-battle ritual. I find the slow assembly and disassembly of weapon configurations helps ready me for the day - but you might like to take advantage of DICE’s new loadout presets, which are designed to ease match startup in Battlefield 4.
Scrolls foretold: Mojang CCG to benefit from "snappier" tutorials, free demo version
Mojang’s Scrolls has a future, and it’s not just on tablets. The upcoming port has grabbed headlines elsewhere, but here we like to focus on games that allows us to remain uncomfortably upright at our desks.
So: a less intimidating tutorial! A free demo! A weekly reward system! Attacks with more “oomph”! All this will help bring the Minecraft lot’s already rather popular CCG to a wider catchment of card-fancying humans.
Standby for Ironfall: Minecraft has a Titanfall mod
Not for the first time in Minecraft, a player stands on the roof of a custom-built building and surveys his surroundings. But everything else has changed: his view is filled with double-jumping opponents, and his ears with a cacophony of cannon fire.
The player checks his UI. The time has come to call down a golem. As he gives the command, an iron man tumbles from the sky, smashing through a nearby skylight. It sits patiently in the ruined house, awaiting his command.
This in Ironfall: an ambitious, evidently Titanfall-inspired mod for Minecraft.
Zenimax send in pest control to squish The Elder Scrolls Online's progression halting bugs
Since The Elder Scrolls Online’s early access launch, our Nick’s only managed to join the dots between enough quest markers to reach level 12. That’s encouraging, because Nick’s become accustomed to blazing through MMOs in a week. But also depressing, because he was eventually halted by a bug in the main plot.
Thankfully, Zenimax Online have just today squeezed out an update that’s nudged their sometimes bold, sometimes buggy debut a little further towards the former.
All Reich Now: Wolfenstein trailer paints post-war world in bloody reds and nostalgic greys
The latest Wolfenstein: The New Order trailer doesn’t open where you expect it’s going to, geographically speaking. There’s no gothic castle; no Nazi-filled bullet train. Instead, pop culture turned pulp.
It ends in a more familiar place - but the journey there is just as tense and twisty as that train ride.
Hotline Miami 2 trailer is all forward rolls and dual-wielding in the name of sudden death
Whenever a point total springs up on screen to record a kill in Hotline Miami - which is always - it looks a bit like the word ‘Woops’. That just about sums up the best-played-in-private antisocial glee of the game’s ultraviolence, which is clearly recognisible via its dental records in this new trailer for the sequel.
