Iron Man VR Release Date Announced At NYCC

/0 Comments/in /by

Iron Man VR, the PSVR exclusive that puts you in Tony Stark’s iconic metal suit, is coming next year. In a new trailer that debuted at New York Comic Con during the Marvel Games panel, the studio announced it’s coming on February 28, 2020.

The game was initially announced during Sony’s debut State of Play, with a trailer that showed how your VR headset imitates Tony’s in-helmet UI as he flies through the atmosphere. Your personal assistant will be Friday, who became Tony’s trusty AI companion after Jarvis became Vision in the Marvel cinematic universe.

Iron Man VR is being developed by Camouflaj, the studio behind Republique and its VR version. Director Ryan Payton wrote that the studio is looking to make a “a deeply personal, and appropriately funny, narrative” in Iron Man VR that sees Tony confront “ghosts from his past.”

That’s not the only Marvel game on the horizon. Crystal Dynamics is also at work on Marvel’s Avengers, which stars Iron Man alongside the other main Avengers cast like Captain America and Thor. You can check out our pre-order guide for more details on that game, which is also slated for early next year.

Ghost Recon: Breakpoint Drone Guide — How To Deal With The Wolves’ Pesky Drones

/0 Comments/in /by

Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon: Breakpoint has plenty of challenging enemies to fight, who each demand you to be at your tactical best. Compared to its predecessor, enemies are far more intelligent and organized. Aside from the special ops-trained Wolves unit, one of the most significant additions to the enemy roster are drones, and gosh, are they a handful.

If you play stealth, the best way to avoid these mechanical headaches is to cover yourself with Cloaking Spray, which can make you invisible to them for a limited time. However, if you didn’t choose the Panther class, then this repellant isn’t available until after you complete the side mission called “Cover Up”–which is given to you by Skell scientist Christina Cromwell.

You can only meet Cromwell after you rescue Jace Skell and take him back to Erewhon. That said, the version of the Cloaking Spray you’re given lasts 30 seconds instead of a full-minute and offers +10% Drone Evasion instead of +100%. We highly recommend unlocking the Panther class if you’re ever considering tackling a mission stealthily.

Your only other option for taking out Drones “quietly” is waiting for it to get to a side of the map that isn’t populated by guards. A well-placed shot from a powerful sniper rifle should suffice, but still, cross your fingers that the resulting explosion doesn’t alert the opposition. It’s not the best, but there are simply no guaranteed options to incapacitating them silently.

If you don’t mind fighting drones directly and alerting everyone around you, then stock up on EMP grenades and rockets. Ground drones can’t access elevated positions, so it’s best to attack from there to inhibit their capabilities. For the more powerful drones, it’s best to cheese it and use an attack helicopter with rockets to destroy them, especially if you’re under-leveled.

In Breakpoint, drones are a constant headache no matter the approach you choose to take, but it’s best to be prepared. If you find any other useful tactics, let us know in the comments below. Otherwise, we’ll be updating this guide with more findings in the coming days.

Pokemon Sword & Shield’s 24-Hour Stream Has Shown A Whole Lot Of Nothing So Far

/0 Comments/in /by

Pokemon Sword and Shield‘s animal cam-style 24-hour livestream has been running for a little over four hours now, and if you’re a fan of ambient forest sounds, it’s certainly been great. However, if you were hoping to get a look at some new Gen 8 Pokemon, the stream has been severely lacking thus far.

In the few hours the broadcast has been airing, we’ve only seen brief glimpses of some existing Pokemon such as Pikachu, the mushroom-like Morelull, and the ghostly Phantump. Impidimp, the strange imp Pokemon who was first discovered in Sword and Shield’s E3 2019 demo, also made a rare appearance, but aside from that, the stream has almost entirely consisted of forest sounds and the occasional rustling bush.

The most exciting moment so far happened around 8:50 AM PT, when a never-before-seen Pokemon quickly ran across the screen. However, the Pokemon was only visible for a split-second, so if you were looking away the moment it appeared–as I was–then you probably missed it, and there’s no telling when it’ll make another appearance.

Despite the fact nothing of note has happened yet, there are still roughly 27,000 people tuned in to the broadcast as of this writing. You still have a chance to tune in as well, as the 24-hour stream will continue until 6 AM PT / 9 AM ET tomorrow, October 5. You can watch the livestream here on GameSpot.
