  • Microsoft needs help from Sony


    Hells Warrrior

    this week, Microsoft revealed that it is working to support cross-platform and cross-network play on Xbox One - aka PS4 vs Xbox One multiplayer. So that means in the future, you could be playing online multiplayer titles with your PC and PS4 friends on your Xbox One. 

    But, as expected, Microsoft won't be able to do this alone. 

    "Most of you probably noticed that we made an announcement saying that we're now enabling cross-network play support. So if a developer wants to cross game networks, we'll support them on our side," explained Jason Roland, Head of the Xbox Advanced Technology Group. 

    "Obviously we need support from the other supporting networks, but we're working with the first wave of titles on this and we'll start releasing titles very soon that show the ability to actually cross networks together."

    So that means Microsoft is going to need Sony's help to enable cross-platform play between the Xbox One and PS4. Will Sony be up for that? We're not sure, as it seems there's not much in it for them. 

    However, Microsoft believes that it will be very appealing for developers. 

    "From a developer's perspective, this is really about increasing the player pool - making sure that you have the largest audience possible. That you're not letting your ecosystem be restricted by whether they bought it on PC, or they bought it on Xbox, or they bought it on another console.

    "We want to give [developers] the tools to make sure [they] have the largest player base possible and [they] can keep that player base engaged in [that] franchise," added Roland.

    Sony made a statement a few days ago that they're open to discuss this, so it's at least in motion!

      Amidst the dark and eerie night
      A choice to make – to run or fight?
      The undead horde approaches fast
      Armed with weapons, till the very last
      In Call of Duty: World at War - Zombies
      The battle for survival never ceases
      A test of skill, courage and wits
      As waves of zombies just never quits
      Blood-soaked grounds and a burning sky
      The stakes are high, the danger nigh
      But in this game, we rise above
      To conquer the undead with brute, tough love
      With finger on the trigger and heart in hand
      We face the terror, and take a stand
      For in this game, we live or die
      With Call of Duty: World at War - Zombies, we must survive.

      and later released worldwide on December 14, 2011.
      The game features the same gameplay mechanics as its predecessor, with players fighting off waves of zombies as they try to survive for as long as possible. The game also includes a new storyline set in a Cold War-era Pentagon, with the characters from the original Zombies mode returning to fight off the undead.
      The game allows for up to four players to play together via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi, and also includes a single-player mode with a new leaderboard system to track high scores.
      Call of Duty: Black Ops – Zombies received mixed reviews upon release, with critics praising the game's addictive gameplay and multiplayer functionality, but criticizing the graphics and lack of content compared to the console versions of the game. Despite this, the game was a commercial success, with over a million downloads in its first week of release.

    • In a surprise to no one, Amazon's Fallout TV series has been officially renewed for a second season. The news was shared earlier today, with Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy - who executive produce the show via Kilter Films - saying they "can't wait to blow up the world all over again". "Holy shit," added showrunners Geneva Robertson-Dworet and Graham Wagner. "Thank you to [Nolan], Kilter, Bethesda and Amazon for having the courage to make a show that gravely tackles all of society's most serious problems these days - cannibalism, incest, jello cake."

    • Two decades after it first launched on GameCube, Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door is getting a second life with a remake on Nintendo Switch. The remake doesn't release until May 23, but you can snag a physical preorder for just $50 (down from $60) at Geek Alliance. That's one of the best preorders we've seen for the popular upcoming title, and if you've yet to reserve a copy, this deal is definitely worth a closer look. Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door features enhanced graphics and what Nintendo is calling "a suite of additional changes," though the company has yet to elaborate on those updates. Regardless, it's shaping up to be a great remake that'll be popular among nostalgic players and RPG fans alike. GeekAlliance has a few other great deals available right now, including another preorder discount for Luigi's Mansion 2 HD on Nintendo Switch. The game is an HD Switch port of the 3DS classic that launches on June 27, but preorders are discounted to just $50. Like Paper Mario, this one has less than 500 copies available at the price point and comes with free shipping. While you wait for your games to arrive, you can pick up several Nintendo Switch games for cheap at Walmart, including Super Mario Bros. RPG for $43 (was $60), which is one of the better deals we've seen for the game since it arrived last November. Check out the list below for a few more Switch deals at Walmart. Walmart doesn’t indicate when the sale will end, but we can't imagine these discounts will stick around for long. Nintendo Switch Game Deals At Walmart Kirby's Return to Dreamland -- $41 ($60) Mario Kart 8 Deluxe -- $40 ($60) Super Mario Maker 2 -- $40 ($60) Pokemon Shining Pearl -- $30 ($60) Super Mario Bros.
