Mortal Kombat 1: Important Updates!

Mortal Kombat 1 Liu Kang Poster

If you’ve been living under a rock, then you probably missed the BIG reveal last month when Mortal Kombat 1 was announced by NRS. Well, no harm done – watch the trailer reveal below.

It looks breathtakingly beautiful. But you know what’s better? A gameplay reveal. For months there was chatter to add the old and OG characters from the earliest iterations of this franchise, and it is slowly coming true.

With the new “Kameo” feature, a lot of the characters that have been unplayable for years are now sort-of playable; and you can use them in your roster. Watch the video below!

P.S. It’s age-restricted (I mean it’s Mortal Kombat, what do you expect?)

The arenas look fantastic. The gameplay feels smoother, looks vivid and just draws you in. One of the coolest things is the fact that the fights also take place while the characters are still in dialogue – previously there was a blank loading screen with character art. It has truly been stepped up!

And now for the spicy part! According to a reddit user (MarkT_D_W), the base game will include 24 characters. At the moment, only 8 are confirmed so far. He shared the info of 19 characters in total that will be a part of the game!

Dead Island 2: What We Can Expect

Dead Island 2 Title Cover Image

Zombies, gore, and survival. These are some of the hallmarks of the Dead Island franchise, which has been a fan-favorite among gamers for years. As a fan of the zombie genre, you’re probably familiar with the game that brought us the iconic vacation-turned-horror story. Since its release in 2011, it has spawned sequels, spin-offs, and even a movie adaptation. But what about Dead Island 2?

In 2014, fans were eagerly anticipating the release of Dead Island 2, the sequel to the hit 2011 game. However, the game’s development has been a long and bumpy road, leaving fans wondering what to expect from the upcoming release.

Dead Island 2 was originally announced at E3 2014, with a trailer that showcased the game’s setting: California. The trailer promised the same intense, action-packed gameplay that players loved in the first game, but with an updated and expanded open-world experience. However, the game was hit with multiple delays and changes in development studios, causing frustration among fans.

Dead Island 2 Old Announcement Trailer

Another notable speedbump is the change in development studios. Dead Island 1 was developed by Techland, while Dead Island 2 has been passed between multiple studios over the years. Yager Development was originally tasked with developing the game, but after several delays, the studio was dropped from the project. Sumo Digital then took over development, but the game was delayed again after the studio was acquired by Tencent. Finally, it came back to Deep Silver.

Story

Dead Island 2 takes place 10 years after the original events of the first game, which means that the virus has already spread to California. Players cannot change characters and the story is thought to be somewhat lackluster, but the variety and amount of weapons make up for it.

The setting of Dead Island 2 is drastically different from the original game, which took place on a tropical island. California offers a more varied and urban environment, with locations like Hollywood, Santa Monica, and Venice Beach. It will be interesting to see how the developers utilize these iconic locations to create a new and exciting gameplay experience.

Gameplay

Dead Island 2 promises to build on the successful formula of the first game while also introducing new mechanics and features. It also includes a few features from the old games, including the “rage” feature and the crafting features.

Another new feature is the addition of vehicles, allowing players to traverse the expansive map quickly. From cars to skateboards, the range of vehicles promises to offer a fun and varied experience. The game will also introduce new infected types, which will challenge players with unique abilities and weaknesses.

Visuals

Visually, Dead Island 2 looks like a significant upgrade from the first game. The new setting offers a more diverse and vibrant environment, with an emphasis on bright colors and a unique art style. The game’s character models and animations have also been improved, with more realistic movements and facial expressions.

Conclusion

While the development of Dead Island 2 has been rocky, it seems like the game is finally ready to be seen in its full glory. With a new setting, improved visuals, and exciting new gameplay features, the game promises to be a worthy successor to the original.

Firstly, the game is expected to have a more polished and updated visual experience. The game’s new setting in California is sure to provide a vibrant and colorful environment for players to explore, with plenty of landmarks and iconic locations to visit. The game is also expected to take advantage of newer technology, such as ray tracing and more advanced AI, to create a more immersive experience.

In terms of gameplay, Dead Island 2 is expected to build upon the already solid foundation set by the first game. Players can expect to explore an expansive open world, filled with a variety of weapons, vehicles, and quests to complete. The game’s crafting system, which allows players to create their own weapons and items, is also expected to be expanded upon, providing even more opportunities for players to customize their experience.

It releases globally on April 21 (tomorrow!) so make sure you get your hands on it and let us know what you think about it 😉

3 Must Buy Games During This Winter!

Desperados III Gameplay

Hey guys! Hope you’re all geared up for this bleak and cold winter (hopefully not) and are looking forward to the cozy holidays and amazing dinners with the fam (hopefully).

We made a list of 3 games that you should definitely give a try during this holiday season.

Ready? Ok. Let’s go!

1. Need For Speed: Unbound (NFS Unbound)

Need For Speed Unbound
Need For Speed Unbound

A great new game that was just released. With graphics that make it look like the Spiderverse movies, and the adrenaline fueled action powered by childhood nostalgia, this is something you should NOT miss out on. Here’s the gameplay!

2. Deathloop

DeathLoop
DeathLoop

Time travelling first-person-shooter? Sign me up! Well, this is the perfect winter getaway with tons of replayability and… for you to make a hot cup of chocolate milk every time you feel you can’t get through a mission.

Basically the way this game works is, that you are stuck in a time loop. Every choice you make helps you advance and if you die, well, you start over. To stop the loop, you have to kill 8 targets. One of them, is out for your blood and will do anything for you to stop the loop and will cause you to reset it.

Oof. Sounds like a pain in the ass. But, the more times you die, the more you learn, and the better you get. Watch the gameplay here!

3. Desperados III

Desperados III

Another absolute no-brainer of a game… Desperados III! A real-time strategy game for all who love the wild west – this is the best choice for you. If you’ve ever played any of the older reiterations of the game, then you’re gonna enjoy this one even more – it is a prequel.

The story follows the history of John Cooper, the badass bounty hunter, and explores his past. Get ready to discover how he meets returning characters Doc McCoy, Kate O’Hara, and new ones like Isabel and Hector. Developed by MiMiMi games, it follows a similar gameplay style as it was in Shadow Tactics (another really cool game).1

Watch the gameplay trailer here:

That’s it from us this time! We wish you a very Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays from all of us at Gamers-outlet.net! 🙂

Fortnite Chapter 3 Revealed! Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson AND Spider-Man Are In!

Dwayne-The-Rock-Johnson-The-Foundation-Fortnite-Chapter-3

Well, the second chapter of Fortnite ended with a bang and the event was a total success. The Cube Queen was finally defeated and we are given a glimpse of The Foundation, played by none other than Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson. With the classic Rock brow and his cavalier attitude, it looks absolutely amazing.

How is Chapter 3 different from Chapter 2? Well, there’s a big gameplay change, with the focus shifting a little bit towards swinging and sliding (Spider-Man reference?) making the gameplay much much faster.

Fortnite Chapter 3 Includes Spider-Man

You also earn XP for the Battle Pass in creative mode now, while playing other people’s and players’ creations, which wasn’t the case before. There’s an epic, final “Victory Crown” after you win the game as well. Inclusion of battle camps, where you can heal yourself and your squad + store items every match is also a new feature! And talking about weapons – boy, oh boy! There are brand new AWESOME weapons!

Most of these details were leaked last week and the developers urged the players to not leak the information, but it was unfortunately leaked all over TikTok with memes spanning Dwayne took over and were all the rage last weekend.

Check the trailer out now!

Are you excited to jump in and experience the brand new chapter of Fortnite?! Before you do, please check out our exclusive Black Friday and Cyber Monday discounts on the main site! CLICK HERE to have a peek!

Far Cry 6 Reviews Are Out – It’s Not Looking So Good :(

Far Cry 6 Cover Image

Far Cry 6 is out, finally. The glorious game and the sixth instalment in the Far Cry series by Ubisoft is up for grabs. With a strong star studded lead, it should have broken all sales records, right? Well, apparently even Giancarlo Esposito apparently couldn’t save the game…

It looks beautiful, the graphics are amazing but unfortunately the gameplay seems to be… repetitive. And so does the plot. It’s just like every Far Cry game since Far Cry 3 – evil dictator bad, hero takes him down with help from the locals and other factions – victory. Quoting Vaas from Far Cry 3, “insanity is doing the exact same fucking thing, over and over again, expecting shit to change.”, and quite ironical as it is, Ubisoft did the same thing and expected us to fall in love with it.

It is something to take note of though, most reviews that were average were given by critics or actual reviewers and trusted websites like Polygon, or IGN for that matter. The fans love the game apparently even though they know that these reviews (and the lack-luster gaming experience) exists; and are supporting it fully. It is pretty satisfying and fun to be fair, but unfortunately that feeling doesn’t last that long and wears down pretty fast due to the repetitiveness it has.

Yara (the place where Far Cry 6 takes place) is wonderful and a great area to explore, especially with the free open world atmosphere the game offers.

Check this video out to know more about the game and how it looks like – and if you should wait for a sale before getting it.

Well, that’s it for now folks, hope you have a smashing weekend and stay safe!
