Well, seems Blizzard have a mysterious new Hero in store for Hearthstone possibly. At least, that’s what the latest Innkeeper’s Tale seems to be hinting at…
The blog post seems to be a teaser for a new Warrior Hero, but so far there’s few details to go on. The only thing we have is the silhouette above and a clue from a Tweet sent out by Blizzard from the @PlayHearthstone Twitter about the new teaser
It’s pretty obvious that the character will be a Dwarf, but no bets on whom or if they’ll keep the Armour ability that Garrosh has or will come with a new Hero Power. Personally, I’d hope for the latter option.
Blizzard have said before that adding new Hero classes would be difficult because of the need to balance a whole host of new class-exclusive cards as well as the Hero Power every class is equipped with. However, adding new Heroes that are of the exisiting classes seems a good way to add new playable characters without having the trouble of balancing a whole bunch of new cards. Maybe we’ll see alternate Heroes for the other classes too if this is what the teaser is hinting at.
The 15th Hearthstone Ranked Play Season has begun and it’s bringing a new savage Darnassus card back with it.
Players looking to pick up the Darnassus card back will need to hit Rank 20 in Ranked Play mode during the month of June. Blizzard also notes that even those who have already reached Rank 20 need to log in at least once during the month to get the new card back.
In addition to the card back, Blizzard revealed that the top 100 Legend players for the June Ranked PLay season will accrue points toward qualifying for the Hearthstone World Championship.
Original: It’s not an official announcement, but MSI is boasting that they’ll have Final Fantasy Type-0 running on their GS60 Red and GS70 Silver laptops at their Computex booth. Given that those are both PCs, it would suggest that Final Fantasy Type-0 is coming to PC.
Originally a PSP game, Type-0 is a mission-based RPG with occasional bits of RTSing. It was recently re-released in an HD version for the non-portable consoles, so a PC version would make sense. The trailer below confirms that, yes, Type-0 is pretty much as weird as any other Final Fantasy game, and I can’t wait to play it 😀
Just as it might be true that for smartphones, if you can imagine it, “there’s an app for that”, when it comes to modern videogames, often if you can imagine it, “there’s a mod for that” – be it from flooding the majority of the world in Grand Theft Auto 5, to making Thomas the Tank Engine rain from the sky in Skyrim. World of Warcraft is no exception – but perhaps the most interesting mod yet is not an actual game mod, but one modder’s interpretation of a new look for the game.
Recently, a modder named Daniel Luchau decided to give one of the game’s most famous environments – and the hometown of newly created Human characters – a visual facelift through the use of Unreal Engine 4. In order to recreate The Elwynn Forest, Luchau took standard assets as seen in Unreal Engine 4 Tech Demos and combine them with actual models imported from World of Warcraft, though some of the latter’s textures were retouched for better visual splendour. While Luchau is keen to express that his video of the work so far is “an early build” – this only touches the surface of what Unreal Engine 4 can offer and many details and textures still look rough – there are many impressive moments even in the two short minutes of this preview. Outside of Elwynn Forest, players will recognize Goldshire, the second quest town in the area; as well as Westbrook Garrison, with the infamous wanted poster for Hogger outside…
Enough talk, take a look for yourself:
