After some details of the expansion were released publicly a few weeks back, Warframe’s newest content was released yesterday in The War Within expansion pack for the game.
The War Within continues the story that was left off in the previously released expansion The Second Dream, as well as adding a new battle mode, new weapons and much more to the game. Remember that the cinematics will put your characters into them as well, so if you want to looking good can become a new priority in-game. Developers Digital Extremes has put out a release trailer for the expansion to demonstrate what players old and new can come to expect.
Ahead of its free-to-play opening up to all players, CCP have put out a new trailer for EVE Online, to show off its merits to those still on the fence about joining in.
EVE will be going free-to-play on November 15th and it’s clear that CCP wish to bring in new blood to become hopelessly lost in the endless hours you can spend grinding for ships and fighting for corporation in EVE. After all, that game’s player community pretty much writes the game’s entire story, and the battles that happen in it are quite legendary.
If you decide to give it a go, make sure to inform all your friends and family. If you get hooked, you might not be seeing them again for a long time…
No, but seriously, the trailer’s pretty cool. Check it out below:
Last thing we heard on possible Diablo projects was a listing from Blizzard, in which they were advertising for a new Game Director for the franchise. This of course led to rumours of a Diablo 4 being in the works. That listing’s gone now and a look at the Twitters of some Blizzard developers have given a few hints about who could be involved and maybe some vague clue as to a possible theme for the new Diablo game/project?
Both David Brevik, who was lead programmer on the first Diablo and then project lead on Diablo II, and the former president of Blizzard North, Bill Roper met up this last week. They’ve tweeted out pictures of themselves next to the wolf-mounted Orc statue that is at Blizzard HQ in Irvine, CA. That alone wouldn’t connect it to Diablo, if it wasn’t for this further tweet from Brevik which also contains the (possible?) cryptic hint about the next Diablo project:
For 20 years, Diablo-like games have evolved & surprised us. I’m proud to be the adviser for the game that pushes this genre to new heights. pic.twitter.com/LIT3i0UwJv
It’s fair to say that while it’s nothing concrete, it is worth potentially getting a bit excited about. First the job listing, now this confirmed meetup of developers and the tweet from Brevik – something’s happening with Diablo. As for the Libra constellation photo, it seems an odd one to use if it’s got nothing to do with said mysterious project.
Well Blizzcon is coming up on the weekend of November 4-5, so it’s possible that we’ll find out a lot more during it.
RuneScape has been going now for fifteen years. It’s been around a very long time, and that means as all games have people who cheat and abuse the rules, it’s got an awful lot of banned accounts in the game – all with their own inventories. Now Jagex, the developers of the game have announced that they plan to do something with all that frozen loot – auction it off!
The way it’ll be done is through an activity called Bank Bidders, inspired by Storage Wars where players will get to bid on the contents of a banned account’s inventory – but they won’t know exactly what it is they’re bidding for until they’ve won it. This could mean you end up with an inventory of nothing, or be lucky enough to get the ill-gotten spoils of an account that was banned for abusing an XP exploit.
It’s not a complete mystery though, the players will at least get told how old the account was when banned and how the account ended up being under the banhammer in the first place.
It’s certainly an interesting way of dealing with the backlog of items lost to the ban void.
Finally Star Trek Online is coming to console! For someone who doesn’t have a gaming PC, this is great news. I have wanted to play this game for years. With how much I love Neverwinter, I am looking forward to Star Trek Online by Cryptic, due Fall of 2016.
The console version will have new features, new missions, controller support and improved graphics. Your story will begin from the faction you choose from, Federation, Romulans or Klingon. But this will include 32 species for customisation, to create your captain. The video below is the official developer walkthrough.
The console version will release with new content. As quoted by Arc’s website, there is exclusive content for console.
‘Players on the Xbox One console version of STO will receive a free Tier 1 Blockade Runner Escort Steamrunner-class Starship. On the PlayStation 4 console version, players will receive a free Tier 1 Andorian Light Escort. Note that these items will be available for free for two weeks after launch!’
This game has currently been running for six years on the PC, and I for one am looking forward to finally being able to play it, on my own or with my friends.
