Sony director of China game production Bao Bo said that the incubator will benefit teams of varying sizes, from smaller, independent studios to those with “a dozen engineers or more.”

“The scale of the third season will far exceed the previous two,” Bao said.

“We want gamers around the world to better understand the creativity that comes from China. I have always had a dream which is for console gaming to become a regular part of daily entertainment for Chinese people,” Tatsuo Eguchi, president of SIE Shanghai said.

Furthermore, the court determined that the game release was unauthorized and unfair competition. The game was released back in 2020 for platforms such as the Nintendo Switch and the Playstation 4.

Office Create is now in the process of removing both digital and physical Cookstar units from the market and it cannot be found in either the Nintendo eShop or the Playstation Store.

Per the statement:

“Office Create commenced arbitration before the International Chamber of Commerce International Court of Arbitration (“ICC”) against Planet and its CEO, Mr. Steve Grossman, to enforce its rights and enjoin further infringement from, inter alia, the manufacture, distribution and sale of the unauthorized “Cooking Mama: Cookstar” video games. By way of a Final Award dated October 3, 2022, the ICC Arbitral Tribunal has found, among other things, that Planet and Mr. Grossman were not authorized to release the Cooking Mama: Cookstar Switch and PS4 games in 2020 and 2021 respectively, that the license agreement had been validly terminated, that the unlicensed “Cooking Mama: Cookstar” products infringe Office Create’s trademarks under 15 U.S.C. § 1114 and common law and registered copyrights under 17 U.S.C. § 501, that they had engaged in unfair competition, that the packaging, labeling and games themselves falsely identify the origin of goods as “Office Create” in violation of 15 U.S.C. § 1125(a), and that they are financially liable for their conduct.”

Microsoft has a deal in place to buy Activision Blizzard, the publisher behind Call of Duty, for around $69 billion, but the deal has been scrutinized by competitions regulators, including the UKs Competition and Market Authority, with concerns that Microsoft could end up “withholding or degrading” Activision Blizzard works from other consoles or even subscription services.

Ryan spoke out about the offer.

“I hadn’t intended to comment on what I understood to be a private business discussion, but I feel the need to set the record straight because Phil Spencer brought this into the public forum,” Ryan said, according to Gamesindustry.biz.

“Microsoft has only offered for Call of Duty to remain on PlayStation for three years after the current agreement between Activision and Sony ends. After almost 20 years of Call of Duty on PlayStation, their proposal was inadequate on many levels and failed to take account of the impact on our gamers. We want to guarantee PlayStation gamers continue to have the highest quality Call of Duty experience, and Microsoft’s proposal undermines this principle.”

The post Playstation Calls Xbox’s Call of Duty Offer “inadequate on many levels” appeared first on Sudairy.

As part of a document sent to Brazil’s Administrative Council for Economic Defense (CADE) to justify its proposed acquisition of Activision Blizzard, the company claimed that Sony actively attempts to “inhibit growth” of Game Pass by trying to prevent content from landing on Game Pass.

“Microsoft’s ability to continue expanding Game Pass has been obstructed by Sony’s desire to inhibit such growth,” the company said in the documents. “Sony pays for ‘blocking rights’ to prevent developers from adding content to Game Pass and other competing subscription services.”

Additionally, Microsoft called Sony’s concern regarding the potential that Call of Duty could become an exclusive Xbox title “incoherent”, pointing to Sony’s own exclusivity strategies related to Playstation.

“It only reveals, once again, a fear about an innovative business model that offers high-quality content at low costs to gamers, threatening a leadership that has been forged from a device-centric and exclusivity-focused strategy over the years,” Microsoft said.

I’m beyond happy to tell you that at the time of writing this, Alan Wake Remastered is nearing its completion. Confirmed, announced, coming up in partnership with Epic Games Publishing. Multiplatform. PC on the Epic Games Store, Xbox, and for the first time ever, PlayStation, this generation and the previous one.

This is for you. Alan Wake came out over 11 years ago, and through that time, you have told us again and again how much you love the game, the story, the characters, and the lore. And that matters a lot to us. We love this game as well. I love this game. The remaster is coming because of your support for Alan Wake through the years. That is why we felt it was fitting to make this announcement here, at The Sudden Stop, which has been an integral part of the Remedy community since back in 2012, when it started out as an Alan Wake fansite. The Remedy community wouldn’t be what it is today without The Sudden Stop, and we wanted to show our gratitude by telling you about Alan Wake Remastered right here. So thank you, Rachel, and everyone else, for supporting Remedy and our games through all these years.”

The developer & creator for the game,  Eric “ConcernedApe” Barone, is moving on to other projects so it is unknown when there will be an update for the game again.

“I’m not saying there’s going to be another Stardew Valley update,” Barone said during one of the twitch streams following Stardew Valley Cup (via Eurogamer). “I don’t even know at this point. Right now I am focused on my next game. So, we’ll see.”

Barone also was mum on what they next game would be.

“What it is, no one knows at this point,” he stated. “What I will say is it’s another pixel art game, a top-down perspective similar to Stardew Valley. And in some ways it is kind of similar to Stardew Valley, but it’s not a farming game. It’s something different.”

The Frontiers update comes with plenty of updates and more information on Settlements, changes to Base Building, visual improvements information, save streaming, and the bugs that have been addressed.

Settlements

• Mission Board missions that involve locating NPCs can also take players to settlements.
• Players may submit their credentials to the monument at the heart of the settlement. If accepted by the citizens, they will become Overseer of the settlement and may choose its name.
• Every settlement and its layout is unique. Each building is procedurally generated, using only parts available for player base building.
• Settlement status can be seen and managed from the central monument. Once players have constructed their Overseer’s Office, they can also manage the settlement from the terminal in their office.
• Settlements have five key stats: productivity, population, happiness, upkeep costs, and Sentinel alert level.
• Improve their stats by researching new technologies, attracting new settlers to the town, constructing new buildings, setting settlement policies, and more!
• Settlements, where productivity is higher than its upkeep, will generate valuable products for its Overseer to claim for themselves. Higher class settlements will produce more valuable goods.
• Settlements can fall into debt, for example after commissioning an expensive new piece of technology. Debt is automatically repaid from surplus production. While settlements are in debt, the Overseer may not claim the extra products.
• Key stat bonuses are awarded in the form of settlement features.
• Strong features will replace weaker ones. Once the settlement is at the feature limit, weaker features will be awarded as stat bonuses and will not replace a better feature.
• Over time, the Overseer will be called upon to make decisions. A new Settlers mission has been added to the log to help keep track of these requests. This mission will alert Overseers whenever they are required.
• Every few hours, the Overseer may be requested to make a decision. These range from greeting strangers, to resolving crimes, to setting settlement policies and research goals.
• These decisions will help shape your settlement into a thriving town. However, be sure to monitor the Sentinel alert level. This will rise slowly over time, and may trigger an attack on the settlement. The Overseer must be ready to defend their people!
• The settlement’s citizens will wander the town according to their routines. Their mood is influenced by the overall happiness of the settlement, as well as their own reactions to your decisions.
• Any settler may be inspected to glimpse a view at their current thoughts.
• Other settlers will display their thoughts as they wander, allowing the Overseer an insight into the inner lives of their citizens.
• Opportunities to choose a new building to construct will arise frequently. Choose which buildings to prioritize and make your settlement unique.
• Once a decision has been made at the terminal in the Overseer’s Office, a construction site will be placed in the settlement. Visit the site and supply resources to fuel construction.
• Completing the construction of buildings will also award stat bonuses.

Base Building

• The base building menu has been replaced by a new grid of all available parts.
• The grid allows a quick and easy preview of all existing parts, as well as offering quick access to part selection.
• From the grid, players can select a part to place or go straight to edit mode.
• In placement mode, players now have quick access to scale, color, material, and rotation options.
• In placement mode, players can quickly cycle between related parts or can return to the parts grid to choose their next construction module.
• A new ‘free placement’ mode has been added. This disables snapping and allows parts to intersect with each other and still be valid to place. It also allows players to freely place parts in mid-air.
• From placement mode, or direct from the parts grid, players can enter Edit mode and adjust any existing parts. Simply target the part and select the appropriate option.
• From edit mode, parts can be duplicated for rapid construction.
• Or, pick up a part to fine-tune it before putting it back in place.
• Over 250 new base building parts have been added, from decorative to structural.
• Three new construction sets have been added – timber, stone, and alloy. While still versatile and easy to snap, these new sets are much higher detail and more visually diverse than the previous basic sets.
• These sets replace the old wood, concrete, and metal sets. The older sets are no longer available to learn but will be kept for existing players.
• Players who have already researched pieces from the old sets will be awarded parts from the new set for free. The new sets are significantly larger, so be sure to visit the Construction Research Station on the Space Anomaly to browse the full set.
• The new sets are context-aware and will automatically adjust their visuals to suit their position within a building. For example, walls placed at the top of a multi-story building may add extra trim to their tops, while walls placed at the bottom may feature extra support beams.
• The Exocraft signal boosters can now locate Trade Outposts.
• Fixed an issue that prevented the Galactic Trade Terminal from being placed on basic wall pieces.
• The Galactic Trade Terminal no longer needs power to function in player bases.
• A number of deprecated and unusable base parts have been removed from the research trees.
• Signal Boosters are no longer limited to one per region.

Visual Improvements

• Space skies have been significantly improved, with all-new visuals for generating nebula effects.
• Visual effects across the entire game have been significantly improved – destruction, environmental, combat, and much more.
• The mode select screen has been updated with a new set of images from the community. Thank you to all the dedicated No Man’s Sky photographers!
• Fixed an issue that caused a single black frame during a teleport.
• Fixed a number of rendering issues with stars in VR.

Save Streaming

• The save/load system has been overhauled.
• On console, each save is now treated as its own object, rather than all five save slots being bundled together.
• All existing saves have been automatically backed up.
• A number of crashes that could occur when saving or loading large and lengthy save games have been fixed.
• The number of possible save slots has been increased from five to fifteen. The save select screen now supports scrolling to see additional slots/start a new game.
• The number of discoveries that can be saved locally without uploading has been doubled.
• Any non-consumable Quicksilver rewards, such as gestures and base building parts, are no longer save slot specific and can be used across all save slots once purchased.
• Cross-save Expedition rewards, Titles, and Catalogue data will now be cloud-synced along with other save data.
• Multiple users on the same PC and Windows login will no longer share Expedition rewards, Titles, and Catalogue data.

Other Improvements

• On the Discovery screen, improved the clarity of the button that is used to register completion of all creature discoveries on a planet.
• The reward for discovering all creatures on the planet has been significantly increased.
• The clarity of the end-of-expedition countdown has been improved.
• Season Three will begin soon and will bring an exciting range of new rewards.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed a number of mission issues related to other players discovering the target creatures/plants/minerals.
• Fixed a number of issues where matchmaking with players who had adjusted their clocks would cause the Expedition to end prematurely.
• Fixed a number of issues that could prevent players from landing despite the location being valid.
• Fixed an issue that made it difficult to hover-select the final Expedition patch.
• Fixed an issue that caused the text on the expedition start splash screen to overlap in VR.
• Fixed an issue that allowed players to start a new Expedition without updating their client to the correct version.
• Fixed a number of mix issues with Bytebeat and background music.
• Fixed an animation issue that could occur when stroking a companion immediately before mounting them.
• Fixed an issue that caused the collision detection for biological horrors to be far too small.
• Fixed an issue that prevented jetpack trail names from appearing if they had not been unlocked.
• Fixed a number of camera issues that could occur when using a planetary chart while inside an Exocraft.
• Fixed an issue that caused some buildings and bases to be labeled incorrectly when entering them.
• Fixed an issue that could cause players to take hazard damage if their hazard protection was drained but they were no longer in the active hazard.
• Fixed an issue that caused some markers to have a “time to walk here” estimate despite being on another planet.
• Fixed a rare crash on Xbox that could prevent players from loading into the game.

The post Fallout 76 Releases Hotfix Update, PvP Coming in 2019 appeared first on Sudairy.

Here are the full details:

Operation Absolute Zero has arrived on Xbox One and PC, granting all players free access to a huge new season of content:

• Multiplayer: Zero, Black Ops 4’s new Specialist armed with the EMP Disruptor grenade and Ice Pick hacking tool.
• Blackout: The debut of Hijacked, the new ARAV armored vehicle, and new IX Zombies Character Missions.
• Black Market: 100 new Tiers of earnable loot, including new MP weapons, Blackout characters, Mastercrafts, Epic Outfits, Reactive Camos, Weapon Camos, and more.

And for Black Ops Pass holders on Xbox One and PC, we’ve got exciting new game content in all three modes:

• Two new Multiplayer maps: Elevation and Madagascar.
• Dead of the Night, an all-new Zombies experience starring Kiefer Sutherland, Helena Bonham Carter, Brian Blessed, and Charles Dance.
• Black Ops 3 fan-favorite Reaper joins the cast of Blackout.

In today’s update to Multiplayer, we’ve implemented our first balancing pass on Zero, our new Specialist. As with all new features in Black Ops 4, we’ve been paying close attention to how Zero plays into the overall Multiplayer experience and have tuned some of her abilities accordingly. This includes an increase in the time it takes to earn her Ice Pick, varying increases to the time it takes her to hack Scorestreaks and Torque’s Barricade, preventing her hacks from freezing enemy healing cooldowns, and more. Take a look at the full patch notes below for the full list and let us know what you think.

We’ve also updated our MP Featured playlists, including the new Half Off Heist on all platforms, Map Pack Moshpit for Black Ops Pass holders, and Mercenary Objective Moshpit for our lone wolves.

This week also brings new updates to Blackout, including…

Blackout Custom Games

In Blackout Custom Games, players can start a private match to explore the map at their own pace and practice Blackout with teams of friends. As we mentioned in last Friday’s update, Custom Games in Blackout will initially support a max player count of 12 – this is planned to grow over time as we evaluate player engagement, and we’re already planning expanded feature support over time.

Blackout Custom Games will support private matches in Solos, Duos, and Quads, as well as full character customization and Weapon Camo support (coming tomorrow!). Blackout Custom Games will be online-only to ensure all matches are always up-to-date.

Audio Improvements

Today’s new audio improvements in Blackout are focused on vehicles. We’ve lowered the volume of the Supply Drop plane to ensure players can hear more of the in-game action while the plane is overhead, and vehicle engines can now be heard more reliably when several other sounds are playing. The ARAV can also now be heard from farther away to help prevent surprise ambushes. Yes, we’ve seen the footage.

Specialist Unlocks and Outfit Rewards

Starting today on PS4, we’ve unlocked all Specialist characters in Blackout without requiring players to track down and complete their Character Missions, to ensure all players can play as the Specialist of their choice. For those players who’ve already put in the time to unlock their Specialists the old-fashioned way, we’ve got a special new Blackout-exclusive outfit reward for you called “The Numbers”, which we think you’re going to love. Players can also earn this outfit for each character by finding and completing these missions, which are now called Outfit Unlocks, after today’s update. And of course, more new characters are on their way to Blackout in the near future.

Contraband Stashes

Contraband Stashes are also new today in Blackout on PS4. These are new types of Supply Stashes that you’ll find throughout the world, which can contain the new Secret Santa and Slay Bell melee weapons from the Black Market. Ho ho hooooly sh*t, they’re deadly!

Weapon Camos and Armor Tuning This Week

We’ve got more Blackout updates planned for this week, including Weapon Camo support and tuning to Armor durability and Armor Plates (currently in playtesting). Keep an eye on the subreddit for more details soon.

In Zombies, we’ve implemented a new round of gameplay improvements across all maps and a handful of stability fixes to help smooth out some of the remaining bumpiness players might have experienced. While we believe the vast majority of lingering Zombies stability issues have been eliminated with this update, we’re always investigating further ways to deliver an even smoother experience in future patches. If you’re still experiencing a crash in Zombies after this update, please let us know in the comments below with details on what was happening in-game at the time of the crash.

Finally, we’re happy to introduce an accessibility feature that we’ve been planning for a while: the new Auto Sprint option will allow players to double-click their controller’s left stick to automatically sprint in Multiplayer, Blackout, and Zombies. Players can enable this setting under Controls in the Options menu.

“We have been listening closely to what you’ve all been saying

“On December 11, Operation Absolute Zero launches for free on PS4, including a new Specialist and weapons in MP and Blackout, the debut of Hijacked and the ARAV vehicle in Blackout, all-new features in Zombies, our revamped Black Market, and much more! To set the stage, we’ve begun rolling out our new 1.09 title update a little early this week starting on PS4, with other platforms to follow.

First up, Multiplayer: We’ve added Nuketown Custom Games, improved melee and Purifier reliability, reduced Titan effectiveness, updated transition stages for Diamond and Dark Matter camos, improved stability, and made several other quality-of-life updates to the game. Read on below for the full list.

We’ve also made fundamental design changes to the map, audio, and Armor in Blackout with this update, including adjustments to the SDM and Spitfire to better balance out the weapon classes, environmental changes to key destinations around the map, and more. See the Blackout section of our patch notes below and jump into the game to find out what’s new across the entire Blackout map, just in time for the holidays.

Our 1.09 update marks the launch of the first of this week’s three new Zombies features with the addition of Daily Tier Skip credit for Zombies! With this update, Zombies players can now earn a bonus Black Market Tier skip by completing 15 rounds in one match of Classic Zombies. We’ve also implemented new high-round fixes in Zombies as we gear up for more new content coming this week, as well as fixes for specific crashes that could occur across each of our four current maps. This is our initial wave of fixes targeted at high-round play, and should result in a smoother Zombies experience for all players.”

Blackout

Audio

We’ve made the changes below with the goal of creating more predictability around when a player can hear another player’s footsteps, as well as a pass on unrelated game audio that could significantly impact footsteps. We intend to perform additional tuning on unrelated gameplay audio that egregiously impacts the player’s ability to hear other players moving in the world. Details include:

• Occlusion
  • When players don’t have line of sight to another player, some of the sounds those players make are occluded using an audio filter. This filter subtracts some of the lower frequencies (AKA “bass”) to help to create a distinction between players who are in very close proximity to other players, but not necessarily in the same structure.
    • Changed occlusion levels to prevent situations that could make footsteps nearly inaudible.
    • Refactored occlusion code to properly occlude specific materials and buildings that were missing occlusion.
    • Terrain now occludes properly.
    • Fixed issues with garage doors that kept them from occluding properly when opening and closing them.
• Distances
  • Rebalanced the distances at which players can hear first hear someone approaching.
  • Unified distances related to certain movement types – for example, sliding should now be heard about the same distance as other player movement sounds.
• Gameplay Modifiers
  • Awareness and Dead Silence Perks have been changed accordingly with the new distance settings for footstep audio.
• Directionality
  • Lowered the reverb on third-person footsteps, which helps with the player’s understanding of the overall location those footsteps are coming from. This is especially true when wearing headphones/playing in stereo and not in 5.1.
• First and Third Person
  • Further lowered the first-person footstep volume that players hear themselves make.
  • Further lowered volume of teammates’ footsteps.
  • Decreased first-person weapon audio slightly to balance with third-person weapons heard by others.
  • Addressed an issue with first-person splash audio where jumping into water sounded louder than it should.
• Environment
  • Lowered volume on the main ambient blend track (the overall sound made by the environment that players always hear, varying by map location and elevation), allowing subtler gameplay cues to be more audible more often, including footsteps.
  • Reduced volume and distance that garage doors can be heard from.
  • Modified the volume and distances that opening Stashes can be heard from.

Armor Redesign

Armor has been completely overhauled in Blackout. Our goals for these changes are to allow Armor to survive multiple engagements, and to reward players for taking out an enemy and destroying the enemy’s Armor in the process. While coming out of an engagement on the winning side feels good, it doesn’t feel good to have your Armor destroyed with each engagement you find yourself in. As such, players can find and use Armor Plates to repair damaged Armor, which are applied from your Inventory on all platforms, and from both the Inventory or the Quick Equip menu on consoles.

It takes approximately two seconds to use an Armor Plate to repair a segment of damaged Armor. One Armor Plate will repair a single Armor pip, regardless of Armor level. We will closely monitor the amount of available Armor Plates in the world and make adjustments quickly as needed. Details include:

• Armor Plate Locations
  • In enemy Death Stashes after destroying the Armor of an opponent.
  • In Equipment Stashes.
  • More rarely, on the ground as a lootable item.
• Durability
  • Armor durability has been increased, allowing Armor to last longer through an engagement.
  • Armor durability indicators have been updated to display individual pips of Armor.
• Damage Mitigation
  • The percentage of damage that Armor mitigates has not been changed. As we monitor how these changes to Armor affect gameplay in Blackout, we will continue to evaluate damage mitigation values.

Map Changes

• Overall
  • Added seasonal changes to foliage and softer winter lighting across the entire map.
• Hydro Dam
  • Added elevators to allow players to get up and down in alternative ways.
  • Provided additional cover on the rooftops of both major buildings.

  • Opened 3 previously sealed buildings to offer additional looting opportunities.
  • Added 2 new pipes to allow players to navigate between structures in alternative ways.
  • 2 previously closed train cars are now accessible.
  • 13 containers are now accessible.
• Nuketown Island
  • Opened up 4 previously closed garages throughout Nuketown Island.
• Map Boundaries
  • Expanded and improved upon boundaries on all sides of the map to be more consistent with the physical indicator of those boundaries seen inside the map, including:
    • Fence along the northern boundary of the map.
    • Power lines along the eastern side of the map.
    • Pipeline along the southern border of the map.
  • The mini-map now reflects the location of these boundaries.

Weapon Balance

• SDM
  • Reduced damage.
  • Increased ADS time in and out.
  • Increased recoil.
• Spitfire
  • Reduced damage.
  • Increased recoil.

General

  • Zombies will now have a chance to drop ammo when killed.

  • Added Daily Tier Skip credit for completing 15 rounds in a game of Classic Zombies each day.
