A Fresh Start On the surface, Zelda veterans will have no trouble getting into Breath of the wild, with it’s real-time combat largely unchanged. Link attacks his enemies with melee weapons and ranged weapons, holding down the attack button allows you to do his signature spin attack. This gives each combat encounter a deeper edge, never knowing if you’ll have the tools to take out an enemy seen as it’s possible for your weapon to break, or need to make a hasty retreat, while finding much more powerful weapons delivers a genuine thrill. With a ‘new’ Nintendo console just around the corner that also means new games for the icnonic characters we all know today. Zelda is in the line of sight, as the new legend of zelda game was teased with the new hybrid console. What of Breath of the wild’s Backstory, and the historical decline its environment hints at? At the very beginning of the game it revealing more of the story and characters of the world. As seen in the E3 gameplay reveal. Link awakens from a long slumber, called out by an unknown voice towards what remains of Hyrule Castle. During his long slumber, the wild has claimed back what was there and link has lost his memory. With only the mysterious Sheikah slate that he finds, a mystical tablet, to guide him. Link has to rediscover the world, encountering the

Link can also use bow and arrows, similarly scavenged from downed opponents. Headshots do double damage making it more fun sniping Moblins from afar is supremely satisfying but if your bow isn’t powerful enough take them out it will alert the enemies nearby.


Battlefield 1 Tips

Guns are much less effective over long distances. This makes skirmishes over small pieces of territory more intense because there will be more people closer to where the action is taken place. Old rules still apply, however with different measure. This means that are support weapons are most efficient while the player is prone, immobile, and firing in long bursts rather than the player being on the move which will make it harder for the player to be more accurate with the shots. If you’re prone to spamming Q on every target, get ready to unlearn that bad habit, instead try and tap Q on targets that are truly dangerous, like hidden snipers, or a tank that’s making a flanking maneuver which might affect the battlefield around you and that will give your team a benefit of seeing where they are. Support players should open up paths for teammates using bullets and the occasional lethal or tactical grenade. If an assault team needs to run down an open hillside, distract the enemy defense force with a constant stream of bullets however you should not keep firing in one direction as this won’t give them the best cover for running down the hillside.

A New Hope? While many were underwhelmed by No Man’s Sky procedurally generated sprawl, and it seems there is still an appetite for an ambitious, universe-sized space games following the disappointing No Man’s Sky. Dual universe is a sim which claims to marry a ‘single-shard’ MMO (ie, everyone is on the same server) with minecraft another sandbox game about being creative. “You can’t add ‘MMO’ as an afterthought,” Novaquark creative director and founder Jean-Christophe Baillie tells me during an hour-long demo. “Every single thing in the game is tightly tied to the server tech. It’s not like you can add that afterwards. I think we took the problem from the right angle.” Second, although I haven’t seen a populated world myself, Novaquark isn’t camouflaging the current state of the game. “People will extrapolate … but the only remedy for that is to have clear communication and have gameplay at the beginning that’s good. And also to show progress, I think.”

Dual Universe is an ambitious, long-term project. We aim to have a playable alpha version open to a limited number of people in the second half of 2016. Typically a game of this size will take 12-24 months from alpha to full launch. You can expect a beta phase for the second half of 2017 and an official release in 2018. After the release, development will continue as the idea of Dual Universe is to create a lasting game that will evolve with its player base.

The game Is currently in the early stages of being made and are trying to avoid the mistakes of pervious games that were to ambishious, like No Man’s Sky which turned into a disaster on release. The future of Dual Universe is septicle after the release of No man’s sky that gamers dont trust what the devlopers say. However there might be an opertunity for the game to be released on console as well, bit does this mean that it might be released on the Nintendo Switch?


A New Region 20th Year Aniversery

After making it debut in 1996 on the Game Boy, Pokemon has been a cultural phenomenon for two decades. Due it’s popularity it has spawned movies, multi-series tv shows, and remains one of gaming’s most treasured games and series. Also in alola there isn’t any use of megas until you have betean the game and are at the battle tree, but they added z-crystals for each type, there are some pokemon that have dedicated Z-crystals like pikachu that has pikachusimz which allows it to unleash a unique z move that other electic types cant preform. However you have to complete all the trials and beat the 4 kahunas on each of the island to be able to use all of the z-crystals, also you are onmly able to use one z-move per battle to limmit the possible endless spam if there wasn’t a limit and makes the trainer have to think if they should use it.

In each Region we get 3 starters. One of the starters is Popplio which is a sea-lion pokemon which is a water type. Another is Rowlet, it is a cute, Owl-esque pokemon and is a Grass-Flying type. Lastly there is Litten which is a meaner looking cat pokemon that is a Fire type.


At the start you are gifted a level 36 Greninja which has the ability battle bond which will allow it to become Ash-Greninja, which sun and moon buyers will be able to transfer over to their main game. You even get given a powered-up Pikachu for a test-run, unleashing a Gigavolt attack to wipe out team skull’s resistance with its new Z move. With every new Region that is introduced into the Pokemon Series there are New Pokemon that come with it, however Alola is a bit different! Aswell as getting pokemon we also get some old ones that addapted to living on Alola (Alolan Forms), all Pokemon that have these new forms are from Kanto the original games including the first 151 pokemon

As you play through the alola you encounter many new pokemon like Pikipeck and Cosmog which can be encountered in different places in alola. However as you get further into the game you will also encounter Team Skull and the Aeather Foundation with have an evil scheme hidden from the publics eye. You travel around the Alola doing trials which is like a right of passage, and meet new pokemon and new people and become friends wih some like Hau and proffesor kuki’s mysterious assisantant.

Alola is not like other regions that we have had before in pokemon, firstly there are no longer any gyms, but instead there are trails which are like gyms but dont include you battleing with someone else to recive a badge. Instead you do a task that the trail captain has set you which normally includes battleing 3pokemon then a totem pokemon.
