Max Payne 1 and 2 Remake In the Works

0

In a surprise announcement on Wednesday, Remedy Entertainment and Rockstar Games revealed that both the companies have signed an agreement to remake the first two Max Payne games for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. 

As per the agreement, Remedy will handle the development of both the remakes while Rockstar will finance the projects. Remedy promises that the final product “….will be in line with a typical Remedy AAA-game production.”

The remakes will be developed on Remedy’s own Northlight game engine, the same game engine that was used in Remedy’s previous title — Control, and is currently used in the upcoming Alan Wake 2. 

The original Max Payne 1 and Max Payne 2 were developed by Remedy Entertainment in the early 2000s (2001 and 2003 respectively) and Rockstar handled the publishing. While the final game of the series, Max Payne 3 was developed by Rockstar in 2012.

“We were thrilled when our long-time friends at Remedy approached us about remaking the original Max Payne games,” said Rockstar founder Sam Houser. “We are massive fans of the work the Remedy team has created over the years and we can’t wait to play these new versions,” said Remedy CEO Tero Virtala. 

Further, he added:

“Max Payne has always held a special place in the hearts of everyone at Remedy, and we know the millions of fans worldwide feel the same.”. 

The team is excited to “bring the story, action, and atmosphere of the original Max Payne games back to players in new ways.”

With Remedy’s announcement and Rockstar’s AAA financing, the remake this time looks more like a legit full remake rather than the disaster remake that the GTA series had in 2021.

Given Remedy’s Northlight game engine capabilities in Control, the remake of both Max Payne 1 and Max Payne 2 will give a new life to the beloved life series and might as well push Rockstar to develop a sequel (or prequel?) of the series. 

New Valorant Trick Prevents Players From Defusing the Spike on Icebox

0

Valorant fans have discovered a new trick on the newly revamped map Icebox that renders the Spike impossible to defuse for the Defenders. While it’s unclear if this is an intended trick or a glitch, it can still be used in any Icebox game as long as you have a Sage in your lineup.

The B-site on Icebox isn’t the easiest bombsite to take for the Attacking side, but once you have control of the site, this plant can easily ensure you a round win in the right circumstances.

The trick works by planting the Spike on top of the bridge by standing at the corner and aiming inwards, which is then followed by a Sage wall at the edge of the bridge to make the spike impossible to defuse without breaking both the Sage walls, as long as they don’t come from the kitchen.

You can take a look at the clip in action below:

Players have already started reporting this plant in the Valorant subreddit. If this is indeed an unintended bug, it’s highly likely that it will be patched out by the developers within the next few days.

How to unlock Mr. Bones in Lego Star Wars

0

The Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga comes loaded with characters from the Star Wars universe. With over 300+ characters to unlock for free, the players are looking for days if not months of grinding to unlock their favorite characters. 

Today we are going to talk about the unique red B1 Battle Droid, Mr. Bones. There are two ways to unlock Mr. Bones as a playable. 

1. Using a game code to unlock “Mr. Bones”

Recently the official Twitter account of the game tweeted a picture of Mr. Bones inside a battlestation. In the tweet, the developers hid a secret game code that once found can be used to unlock Mr. Bones as a playable character for free without any grind and spending stud. 

The community acted quickly and soon spotted the hidden code in the bottom right-hand corner studs in the picture. The code  reads “BAC1CKP” and is redeemed in the pause menu of the game.

All you need to do is simply pause the game and in the menu select the “Enter Code” option. Now enter the code in the dialogue box and press enter. Mr. Bones will become a playable character instantly and accessible right away on the character select screen without the need to spend a large number of studs.

While the code is still working (i.e 8th April), the code might be a limited-time promotion event and may expire later. In case the code stops working try out the method below which will always work.

2. Campaign Unlock Method

To unlock the character simply progress through the main story campaign and make it all the way to the Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker.

After reaching the Battle of Exegol mission, the space above the planet Exegol will open. A repeatable race called The Scramble Run: Exegol will now be available. Complete the race in 55 seconds or less to obtain the gold medal. You can use any character or ship.

After achieving the gold medal, Mr. Bones will be available on the character screen but will still need to be purchased for 100,000 studs after it is unlocked. You get studs simply by just playing the game and in no time you will have the required amount.

The Wild Puzzle event begins April 16 at 00:01 UTC

CHAMPION CHANGES

JARVAN IV

The heir to Demacia has been underperforming amongst other popular fighters in both the Baron Lane and the jungle. We want to amp up Jarvan’s dueling potential and increase his ability to support his allies, so we’re boosting the Attack Speed bonus that Demacian Standard grants.

  • DEMACIAN STANDARD
    • Attack Speed bonus: 15/20/25/30% → 20/25/30/35%

KARMA

Karma’s release balance was close to where we want her to be for the long-term, but she’s doing too much damage in the mid-game. We’re tipping the scales, and lowering Inner Flame’s Mantra bonus damage to make her less of a damage threat since she has so much other powerful utility in her kit.

  • INNER FLAME
    • Mantra bonus base damage: 70/160/250/340 → 70/150/230/310

MASTER YI

We know that Master Yi has been terrorizing the rift and been perma-ban status for a lot of players since our update to his Alpha Strike. It’s allowed him to clear the jungle at turbo speed, so we’re reducing the bonus damage he deals to monsters so this Wuju Bladesman isn’t the undisputed clear speed king.

  • ALPHA STRIKE
    • Bonus damage against monsters and minions: 90/125/160/195 → 80/110/140/170
    • Bonus damage ratio against monsters and minions hit by subsequent strikes: 100% → 25%

NUNU & WILLUMP

Nunu & Willump have a rather steep mastery curve; it turns out that piloting snowballs through the Rift is not as easy as it looks. They’ve been performing for players that put in the time to master them but we want everyone to have the chance to become master snowball pilots. We also feel that their Ability Power build has some room to grow, so we focused our adjustments to those parts of this icy duo’s kit.

  • BASE STATS
    • Armor per level: 3.5 → 3.9
  • CONSUME
    • Damage AP ratio: 50% → 65%
  • SNOWBALL BARRAGE
    • Damage per snowball: 7/10/13/16 (+3% AP) → 8/12/16/20 (+4% AP)
  • ABSOLUTE ZERO
    • Minimum base damage: 125/190/255 → 130/190/250
    • Maximum damage: 625/950/1275 (+250% AP) → 715/1045/1375 (+275% AP)
    • Maximum charge multiplier: 5 → 5.5

OLAF

With the addition of Divine Sunderer and the other changes to the fighter item system we made, Olaf has been dominating both in the jungle and Baron Lane. We’re slightly decreasing the base damage on his Reckless Swing to make it more difficult for him to bring down any target he comes across, particularly in the early game.

  • RECKLESS SWING
    • Base damage: 70/130/190/250 → 60/120/180/240

RENEKTON

Lately, Renekton has been struggling in ranked while continuing to be a powerful pick for coordinated teams. We’re cutting down on some of his early game healing to make his lane priority less powerful, but in return we’re giving this gator some more durability and healing for the later stages of the game. This should ensure that he can still perform his role in teamfights and skirmishes outside of the laning phase.

  • BASE STATS
    • Health per level: 105 → 115
      • Health at level 15: 2120 → 2260
  • CULL THE MEEK
    • Healing per enemy hit: 6/9/12/15 → 4/6/8/10 + 8% Bonus Attack Damage
    • Enhanced healing per enemy hit: 18/27/36/45 → 12/18/24/30 + 24% Bonus Attack Damage

VAYNE

The Night Hunter has been hunting a little too well during her Final Hour, so we’re cutting down on both the movement speed bonus and the extra damage she gains during her ultimate.

  • NIGHT HUNTER
    • Final Hour bonus movement speed: 90 → 70
  • FINAL HOUR
    • Bonus Attack Damage: 30/40/50 → 20/30/40

VEIGAR

This tiny Master of Evil has been struggling to keep up with the other mages in the Mid Lane, particularly in high level play. We’re reducing the cooldown of Event Horizon to give Veigar more opportunities to lock down his foes and blow them up with dark magic, all while laughing maniacally at them.

  • EVENT HORIZON
    • Cooldown: 18/17/16/15s → 16/15/14/13s

VI

Plitover’s finest fighter has been lagging behind other junglers in recent patches. We’d like to see her pack more of a punch in her early game ganks and skirmishes, so we’re beefing up her base Attack Damage.

  • BASE STATS
    • Base Attack Damage: 58 → 64

ARAM CHANGES

ARAM CHANGES

WARMOG’S ARMOR

  • Max health healing ratio per second: 5% → 2.5%

GAMEPLAY CHANGES

ITEMS

BLADE OF THE RUINED KING

Blade of the Ruined King has been a popular item choice since the beginning of Wild Rift, but over time it’s grown to be more common and more powerful as a first purchase for many fighters and marksmen. We’re slightly increasing its price so you’ll have to farm a couple extra minions if you want to snag this blade early on.

  • Total cost: 3100g → 3200g
  • Combine cost: 1000g → 1100g

MONSTERS

BARON NASHOR

Baron’s powerful Acid Shot has been terrorizing champions on the Rift for some time. To ease some of the frustration around this ability, we’re reworking its damage so it scales less with Baron’s Attack Damage and also reducing its damage to targets who get hit by subsequent shots. Since Baron is losing power overall, we’re giving it some more base health.

  • Base health: 10800 → 11800
  • Acid Shot damage: 20 + 120% Attack Damage → 120 + 25% Attack Damage
  • Acid Shot damage ratio to targets hit by subsequent shots: 70% → 50%

SYSTEMS

HOMEGUARD & MINIONS

Minions play a pretty big role in the later stages of the game, so we are making some adjustments to alleviate some of the pressure those late-game minion waves can cause. We’re increasing the bonus movespeed for Homeguard in the mid-to-late game to allow champions to get into more aggressive positions quicker while also reducing the move speed the minions gain.

Homeguard

  • Movement speed effect: After 12 mins, gain 30% movement speed for 4s → After 1 min, gain 40% movement speed until the game ends

Minion movement speed

  • Movement speed bonus at 12 minutes: 40 → 10
  • Maximum movement speed bonus: 120 → 100

RESPAWN TIMER

We’re making some adjustments to respawns and changing how much a champion can be penalized or favored on their death timers. If you have a lead and are ahead in your game, you’ll be penalized less, but if you find yourself behind in your games you’ll be favored less.

Base respawn timer

  • 9 mins – 11 mins: 32s → 33s
  • 11 mins – 13 mins: 38s → 40s
  • 13 mins – 15 mins: 45s → 47s

Respawn modifier

  • Maximum modifier: 25% → 15%

Rainbow Six Siege Y7S2 Operator Leaked with New Images

A new operator has reportedly been leaked ahead of the Year 7 Season 2 in Rainbow Six: Siege along with a plethora of brand new changes to be inculcated into the game but the current leaks tell us about the appearance, details, and the loadout of this new operator, known as “Sens”.

Sens would be the forthcoming addition to the Operators roster in Rainbow Six: Siege according to documentation revealed by Zer0Bytes on his Twitter handle.

His leaks do suggest that Sens would be able to deploy his special gadget which would be a portable device called the R.O.U which would further spawn a holographic wall once rolled on the ground. R.O.U’s duration would last for a certain amount of time which would block the defender’s sight from the attackers.

https://twitter.com/Zer0Bytes0/status/1512078883901751298

Based in Brussels, Sens would highlight the Year 7 Season 2 update as the attacker which would use a brand new assault rifle called POF9 as his primary weapon, and as you can see in the image (attached below) it can be equipped with an ACOG scope.

It was just in the last month that the Rainbow Six Siege community welcomed Year 7’s content with a brand new operator and some huge changes, but now, a big leak from the Zer0Bytes has unveiled the appearance of the next operator as well as his weapons and special ability.
