PS Plus October 2019 FREE PS4 games:

By LIAM MARTIN  of the Daily express

 

 

PlayStation Plus subscribers are counting down to the reveal of the free PS4 games for October 2019.

And the good news is that the October 2019 free PS Plus games reveal is coming very soon.

Subscribers looking to find out the identity of the free PS4 games will be happy to hear that Sony will make the announcement next week.

The October 2019 PS Plus games lineup will be unveiled on September 25 at 4.30pm UK time.

The free games will be available to download less than a week later on October 1.

In the meantime, PlayStation Plus subscribers can grab the September 2019 free PS4 games selection.

This includes the excellent Batman Arkham Knight, as well as the divisive Darksiders 3.

And with International Batman Day coming up on September 21, there’s no better time to download the Caped Crusader’s epic virtual adventure.

“In the explosive finale to the Arkham series, The Scarecrow returns to unite an impressive roster of super villains, including Penguin, Two-Face and Harley Quinn,” reads the official description.

“Batman: Arkham Knight introduces Rocksteady’s Batmobile, which is drivable for the first time in the franchise. This legendary vehicle combined with the acclaimed gameplay of the Batman Arkham series, offers gamers the ultimate Batman experience as they tear through Gotham City.”

Darksiders 3, on the other hand, takes a leaf out of the Dark Souls playbook, although arguably to its detriment.

“Return to an apocalyptic Earth in Darksiders III, a hack-n-slash Action Adventure where players assume the role of FURY in her quest to hunt down and dispose of the Seven Deadly Sins.

“The most unpredictable and enigmatic of the Four Horsemen, FURY must succeed where many have failed – to bring balance to the forces that now ravage Earth.”

Call Of Duty Modern Warefare

Here’s why Call of Duty: Modern Warfare’s weapons may feel a little different than you’re used to

Infinity Ward discusses bullet drop and weapon archetype changes

In a lot of ways, Activision and Infinity Ward are going back to basics with the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare reboot. Returning characters, classic guns, and none (or way, way less) of the new-age sci-fi nuttiness that’s defined the most recent games. But as Infinity Ward explained in a recent blog post, the new Modern Warfare is also making fundamental changes to the way weapons handle. 

“We were a little less precious with these [weapons] systems,” said multiplayer design director Geoff Smith. “We looked to see what still made sense, and pulled stuff out that we feel didn’t work, even if it made the team uncomfortable. Everybody on the team had pre-conceived notions on what ‘Call of Duty’ is and we had to shake people out of that mindset.” 

One of the first big changes had to do with bullet velocity. Call of Duty games are blisteringly fast, so Infinity Ward didn’t want to add too much bullet drop, but for the sake of weapon variety and the multiplayer skill ceiling, Modern Warfare does ease off the instantaneous, hit-scan style of weapon a bit. “At close and mid-range, and depending on the weapon you’re firing, expect an instantaneous hit from your weapon’s ordnance,” Activision’s David Hodgson wrote. “A little further away, and you’ll need a little more skill [to lead your shots].” 

Some longstanding weapon types are also receiving a bit of a shake-up. SMGs, for instance, have been high-recoil close-range weapons for years, but as Smith noted, “in reality, they are low-calibre weapons and are easier to control; they’re lower damage, they’re fairly accurate, so we’ve shifted the role of that weapon around.”

At the same time, some of the customisation options coming in the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Gunsmith system will give weapons a huge range of, well, ranges. Smith teased that “we have a shotgun that you can make by adding a long-barrel and a sniper scope, making it a sniper shotgun. Or you can modify that same weapon by removing the barrel and stock, and get this snub-nose, super-fast weapon that’s completely different than how you started out.”

Speaking of the multiplayer skill ceiling: Call of Duty: Modern Warfare will thankfully have dedicated servers on all platforms.

 

Call of Duty fans, you can finally rest easy: Call of Duty: Modern Warfare will have dedicated servers and support crossplay at launch. According to a Game Informer cover story (via Charlie Intel), Infinity Ward and Activision are confirming that alongside full cross-play support for PC, PS4, and Xbox One, Modern Warfare will feature dedicated servers to ideally help ensure stability at launch and beyond.

Dedicated servers aren’t anything new to Call of Duty, but with the introduction of crossplay support to the franchise with the upcoming Modern Warfare, it’s even more crucial to ensure stable server performance by forking out for dedicated servers. With the pervasive issue of server instability in online competitive gaming, it’s a big relief to hear it’s quickly becoming commonplace for AAA developers to address the issue before it becomes an issue.

Of course, the announcement of dedicated servers is far from a 100% guarantee that Call of Duty: Modern Warfare will launch completely free of server problems, especially with the series’ patchy history in that regard. Regardless, it’s certainly a step in the right direction.

As for cross-play, it’ll work similar to Fortnite, where matchmaking is input-based. That means players using controllers will be paired with other controller-users, and mouse & keyboard players will be paired up likewise. As for PC players looking to play with console-based friends, Infinity Ward has come up with a seemingly workable solution; in these situations, teams of mixed input players will be matched with other teams comprised of both mouse & keyboard players and controller players.
