E3 2019: Persona 5 Characters Join Catherine: Full Body

/0 Comments/in /by

Japanese developer Atlus, creators of the Etrian Odyssey and Persona franchises, has announced a cross-over between the puzzle-platformer Catherine and RPG Persona 5 during E3 2019. The re-release of Catherine–Catherine: Full Body, releasing this September–will see Joker and the Phantom Thieves enter the platforming action.

Catherine: Full Body includes Persona 5’s main English voice cast and features Joker as a playable character in multiplayer. The Persona 5 characters can be acquired by either purchasing the Digital Deluxe edition of Catherine: Full Body or buying the add-on after the game launches. In a new trailer for the game, Joker is seen scurrying across a mountain of constantly shifting boxes while the rest of the Phantom Thieves cheer him on. Check out the announcement trailer below.

This isn’t Joker’s first cross-over. The Phantom Thieves leader has also appeared as a color swap for Yu Narukami in BlazBlue: Cross Tag Battle, his outfit was a pre-order bonus for Sonic Forces, he most recently challenged Super Smash Bros. Ultimate as part of the game’s Fighter Pass, and more.

In our original Catherine review, we said that the game “doesn’t just challenge your hand/eye coordination: It challenges your intellect and your emotions.”

Catherine: Full Body will launch on September 3 for PlayStation 4.

E3 2019 – How Zelda: Link’s Awakening’s Dungeon Maker Mode Works

/0 Comments/in /by

Nintendo showcased much more of The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening remake during its E3 2019 presentation. While the game looks largely like a faithful reimagining of the classic Game Boy adventure, we learned it will introduce at least one major new feature, a dungeon creator, and we got a glimpse of how that will work during a Treehouse livestream demo.

The dungeon creator feature is accessed from the Chamber Dungeon, a new location in Tal Tal Heights that replaces the Camera Shop from the DX version of Link’s Awakening. When you clear a dungeon during the course of your adventure, you’ll earn rooms from it (known in-game as Chambers) with which you’ll then be able to create your own custom dungeons.

It doesn’t appear you’ll be able to customize the contents of these Chambers–it seems each is lifted straight from the game’s existing dungeons–but you’ll be able to rearrange the placement of the rooms in almost any order you please, provided you meet some basic requirements; for example, each dungeon will need to have an entrance, as well as a boss room, and all of the doorways within the dungeon must be connected to another doorway.

Series producer Eiji Aonuma shed a bit more light on the new Chamber Dungeon feature during the Treehouse demo. “I’ve always wanted to create a way for players to create their own dungeons, but I didn’t want to make it anything too hard,” he explained through an interpreter. “Just like solving a puzzle, I wanted to make this Chamber Dungeon easy enough for people to play and feel like they’re solving a puzzle.”

The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening launches for Nintendo Switch on September 20. In North America, the game will release in standard and Dreamer editions, the latter of which includes a hardcover art book. In Europe, however, players will be able to pick up an extravagant Limited edition, which comes with an art book as well as a steelbook case that resembles an original Game Boy. You can read more in our Link’s Awakening pre-order guide.

Nintendo is also releasing a new Link’s Awakening Amiibo alongside the game. When scanned into the game, the figure will add a “plus effect” to the Chamber Dungeon. As Nintendo explained, these plus effects “are layered on top of the Chambers and add a new gameplay variant.” The Link’s Awakening Amiibo in particular will add Shadow Link, who’ll chase you throughout the dungeon. The game will also be compatible with any previous Zelda Amiibo figures, which can unlock additional Chambers.

That wasn’t the only big Zelda news to emerge from Nintendo’s E3 Direct. The company also announced a sequel to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is in development for Switch. Nintendo shared an eerie teaser trailer for it to close out the Direct; you can read our trailer breakdown and theories here. The Zelda spin-off Cadence of Hyrule also released on the Switch Eshop this week.

Where Is Xur? Destiny 2 Location And Exotic Weapons And Armor Guide (June 14-18)

/0 Comments/in /by

Xur has returned for another weekend in Destiny 2 with a couple of Year Two Exotics you might need to fill out your collection. And with the first Iron Banner of the Season of Opulence kicking off next week, one is especially handy–provided you’re not using a sniper rifle to chase the new Crucible Pinnacle weapon like literally everyone else. Here’s where to find Xur and a rundown of what he’s selling.

Like last week, Xur is once again on Nessus. You’ll find him on Calus’s golden barge, standing near all those glittering treasure chests filled with Imperials. His big offer is the Forsaken linear fusion rifle The Queenbreaker, which fires powerful bolts of arc energy great for popping the heads of your Guardian adversaries in the Crucible or when invading in Gambit and Gambit Prime.

On the armor side, Warlocks have access to a second Year Two Exotic this week: Geomag Stabilizers, a pair of boots that extend the duration of your Chaos Reach Super when you’re dealing damage with it. Sprinting can also top off your Super energy if it’s near full to get you blasting away with Chaos Reach more quickly. For Hunters, there’s Knucklehead Radar, a helmet that maintains your radar even when aiming down sights. It’s very handy for Crucible as well, providing a more detailed radar readout when you crouch. Finally, Titans can snag the ACD/0 Feedback Fence gauntlets, which store energy when you make melee kills and release it in an explosion if you take damage from a melee attack.

Xur Exotics For June 14-18

  • The Queenbreaker (Exotic linear fusion rifle) — 29 Legendary Shards
  • ACD/0 Feedback Fence (Exotic Titan gauntlets) — 23 Legendary Shards
  • Knucklehead Radar (Exotic Hunter helmet) — 23 Legendary Shards
  • Geomag Stabilizers (Exotic Warlock leg armor) — 23 Legendary Shards

If Xur’s inventory doesn’t interest, you can also buy a Fated Engram, if you can afford it. Dropping 97 Legendary Shards on the item will grant you one Year One Exotic you don’t already have for that character. Xur also offers the Five of Swords challenge card for free, which allows you to add difficulty modifiers that increase your score in Nightfall runs.

And if you haven’t finished all of Xur’s Invitations of the Nine from the Season of the Drifter, you can snag one of those as well. The bounty was new in Season of the Drifter, dispensing Powerful gear rewards, a bit of story about the Nine and the Drifter, and a lore drop.
