[Mobile] Marvel Future Fight Introduces Original Character Crescent


Netmarble today released an update to Marvel Future Fight introducing three new characters.

The update introduces an original character, Crescent, as well as Marvel favorites Morgan Le Fay and White Fox.

“Crescent is a 10-year old girl named Dan Bi who grew up in Korea, raised by her single father, an antiques dealer who was forced to acquire powerful artifacts for the ancient sorceress Morgan Le Fay. By touching one of the artifacts, a mystical bear mask, Dan Bi summoned a “half-moon” bear spirit named Io, who bonded with her to become her protector.”

Marvel Future Fight has previously introduced new characters including Sharon Rogers and Luna Snow to positive feedback. Today’s update introduces additional content including four new costumes, Tier-3 upgrades for Captain America (Sharon Rogers), potential realizations, heroic quests, giant boss raid improvements, and a special mission quest pack.

  3. Hit “Battle”
  4. Play!

Easy as pie. Magic: The Gathering Arena is currently in open beta on PC. Full launch is expected next year.

[Not Massive] EA (Possibly) Caught Shilling Battlefield V On Eurogamer Review


Battlefield V is out, at least for EA Access subscribers and deluxe edition buyers, and reviews are already piling in. Eurogamer’s review stays in the middle, also noting that the game is launching in the glitchiest and most technically troubled state that DICE has been in since Battlefield 4.

“Battlefield 5 is a spotty experience, beset by bugs and glitches that continually pull you out of it all. The new animations don’t seem fully baked, with legs prodding out at inhuman angles and players warping through the floor, while elsewhere quirks and server lag rear their heads. I had one particular game of Frontlines the other night that, thanks to a bug that prevented the round timer working properly, went on for well over 90 minutes, ending up in a strange armistice as players got tired of shooting each other and camped peacefully under a bridge together instead.”

Eurogamer’s review received a comment by user TimidExplorer, who posted that Eurogamer’s review is “something that our industry can do without”:

A game developer being angry at the perception of another developer’s work being criticized is understandable, but TimidExplorer’s comment wouldn’t have been newsworthy if Eurogamer staff didn’t point out shortly thereafter that he was posting from an Electronic Arts computer.

“There’s no mockery intended at all – I’m writing about the game, and its war stories, and they’re simply not very good. It’s also a bit weird that you’re posting this from an EA provided ISP.”

TimidExplorer rather quickly deleted his account afterward.

Hellgate: London Launches To Steam, No Tokyo Content For Launch


Hellgate: London is back, again, again, and this time it is hitting Steam as a single player only game with the Tokyo expansion that Hanbitsoft added on after Flagship Studios went bankrupt. There are no microtransactions or cash shop items, and the game is available for a single purchase of $12.99 with a launch sale of 25% down to $9.74.

There is one caveat, and that is that the Tokyo content will not be available right now. The team is working on stability in the main quest and will release it as a free update.

As it was mentioned before, HELLGATE: London Steam Version has the latest update client of the Tokyo Version, which has all improved UI / UX / Content. However, due to internal circumstances, Tokyo content is temporarily unavailable in order to provide you with a smooth gameplay. Once stability of the Tokyo Main Quest is settled, you will receive a notice for FREE UPDATE. Until then you can still enjoy playing London, Stonehenge, Second Attack and Abyss maps.

MMO Fallout will have an impressions piece up in the next couple of days.

IPE Update: Brandon Lucas Files Motion to Dismiss Epic Lawsuit


Brandon Lucas has filed a motion to dismiss in North Carolina court this week. Lucas is currently being sued by Epic Games over causes of copyright infringement, breach of contract, interference with contractual relations, and unfair/deceptive trade & unfair competition in relation to alleged cheating and promotion of cheats in Fortnite.

The Defendant Brandon Lucas hereby files a motion to dismiss the complaint. The motion date will be scheduled by the Court after proper notice to the Plaintiff, Epic Games, Inc. The Defendant, Brandon Lucas, will rely on the affidavit submitted.

In his motion to dismiss, Lucas claims that he does not own the Youtube channel in question, that the videos posted are not his, that he does not own or advertise any cheats, and that generally Epic has the wrong guy.

Epic filed the lawsuit back in October against Lucas and another defendant. Epic is alleging that Lucas owns, operates, and profits from a website selling cheats and buying accounts for Fortnite. MMO Fallout will update once the court reaches a decision.

The adventurous among you can check out the link below for both the original filing and motion to dismiss. Be aware that the original filing contains all evidence and runs over 160 pages.
