Hero Forces, the Real-Time PvP Shooter, Blasts onto iOS and Android

Can save the world from terrorists? Mobile gamers who download Hero Forces… Playcube, a rising mobile games developer, announced today that its new PvP shooting game, Hero Forces, has launched in the UK for iPhone, iPad and Android and is available on the App Store and Google Play Store. In Hero Forces, players will step into a supercharged world where, as members of an elite task force, they will take on terrorists and mercenaries from around the globe—or challenge rivals for supremacy in pulse-pounding, real-time PvP matches to see who gets bragging rights.

In the game, players move between cover points in third-person view while aiming and shooting at opponents using intuitive FPS-style controls. In Campaign mode, gamers progress through a series of challenging scenarios over four action-packed chapters where they must eliminate enemies and achieve mission objectives as they save the world from destruction by the evil organisation D.O.O.M. As they go, players will level up, buy new gear, and boost their weapons and armour to overcome increasing levels of challenge. In Survival mode, it’s all-out war as players take down successive waves of enemies in a variety of environments ranging from rain forests to cities to deserts. Hero Forces’ real-time PvP mode allows gamers to quickly take on friends and strangers in 1-on-1 solo battles or 2 vs. 2 team matches—and players can even team up to fight zombies in Co-op mode with up to 4 players.

“Hero Forces puts players right in the middle of non-stop, action movie-style battles they can pick up and play at any time on their mobile device,” said Some Wan, Executive Producer of Hero Forces. “With over 75 levels and thrilling Single Player, Co-op and PvP modes, players can blast away with weapons including guns, RPGs and sniper rifles to take out enemies, win PvP matches and level up to become a true H.E.R.O. of the free world.”

Nearly everything in the free-to-play game can be customised and upgraded, including assault rifles, shotguns, sniper rifles, machine guns, RPGs and armour. While players can buy upgrades and speed their progress, they are not blocked from progressing if they choose to play entirely for free. Players can recruit other heroes and equip them with advanced weapons and armour before they fight alongside the selected player character. The intuitive controls can be quickly mastered by shooter fans while rewarding skilled shooting with bonuses for headshots and combo kills. Players can also utilise grenades to take out groups of opponents, use RPGs to take down vehicles such as attacking helicopters, utilise environmental hazards like oil barrels to take out multiple enemies  and switch weapons on the fly to eliminate enemy snipers and tough level bosses.

Playcube will support Hero Forces post-launch with additional updates including a new fifth chapter of Campaign mode missions, 2 extra levels for Co-op mode and new in-game content so players can always find new battles and challenges.

EA announces EA Play for London and Los Angeles

EA is ready to shake a few things up for this years E3, with a few months from this years E3, by introducing a fan-oriented EA Play event.

The EA Play event will run from 12th – 14th June and will be located near the Los Angeles Convention Center at Club Nokia, and will be open to the public. EA will also move its pre-E3 keynote to Sunday, 12th June at 1pm PT instead of the Monday prior to the start of the show. There will also be live events going on while London will be in single date 12th June. For those who are unable to attend the EA Play event in Los Angeles.

EAPlay 2016

If you can’t be either in Los Angeles or London around the time of EA Play, the company will be offering a behind-the-scenes experience that will take online viewers into their event, while also offering livestreams of all its new games, exclusive behind-the-scenes content and special online-only prizes.

Electronic Arts has traditionally been one of the highlights of E3. The American company was riding an annual show very local taste, taking advantage of the great sports licenses in his possession (NFL, NBA, PGA, FIFA, etc.). In addition, also they are holding strong intellectual property as Battlefield, Mass Effect, The Sims or exclusive rights to Star Wars. It was hoped that the new data E3 of upcoming games based on the galactic saga met.

It is not the first company to renounce the E3. Nintendo takes several years without resorting to mass Angeleno event, although replaced its classical parallel conferences streamings, its famous Nintendo Direct. The Japanese also Konami also turned away from the great American show. The first years emitted a short video on the internet announcing its developments, but eventually did not do anything extraordinary for those dates.

Evolve adds Kala as a new support class for Hunter

Turtle Rock Studios has today announced that Kala, a new Support class Hunter, is now available for Evolve, the 4v1 shooter in which four Hunters cooperatively fight to take down a single-player controlled Monster. This unique new Support character utilizes abilities similar to those possessed by Evolve’s various Monsters. Kala is available individually or as part of Hunting Season 2, which also includes Gorgon (Monster), Lennox (Assault class), Jack (Trapper class) and Emet (Medic class).

Dr. Kala Kapur is an expert on Monster biology and has spliced their DNA into her own genome in order to control the Monsters’ abilities and use them in battle. Her array of unique abilities include:

  • Siren Missiles – an improvement on Kraken technology, these airborne missiles home in on nearby enemies. When placed on the ground, they become more powerful, slower moving homing mines
  • Teleport Pads – an improvement on Wraith technology, these pads allow teammates to move instantaneously from one part of the map to another
  • Armor Reducer – using Goliath’s armor technology, the Armor Reducer shoots a beam which temporarily removes the Monster’s armor. The armor quickly regenerates once the beam connection breaks.

Additionally, players new to Evolve can obtain all currently available and announced playable characters, including Kala, as part of the Evolve: Ultimate Edition. Available now at select UK retailers, the Evolve: Ultimate Edition includes the base game, Monster Expansion Pack, Hunting Season 1 and Hunting Season 2.

LEGO Dimensions: Doctor Doctor Doctor Who

For the first time in any LEGO videogame, characters and vehicles from some of the biggest entertainment brands in the universe converge in LEGO Dimensions.  In a new short trailer illustrating the game’s crazy, possible mash-ups, Dr. Venkman from Ghostbusters, Doc Brown from Back to the Future, and The Doctor from the long running British science fiction television series Doctor Who, unexpectedly come together.

Fans can play through individual levels based on these popular properties in the game’s main story. Players can also explore one distinct, freeplay Adventure World for each of these entertainment properties with any LEGO Dimensions minifigure belonging to that brand.  Each Adventure World provides players access to additional gameplay content and exploration throughout some of the most iconic locations from each brand’s universe.

Ghostbusters fans who want to spookify their LEGO Dimensions experience beyond the Ghostbusters level in the LEGO Dimensions Starter Pack can add the Ghostbusters Level Pack featuring “A Spook Central Adventure!” a mission-based Ghostbusters level where players must fight Gozer and save New York City.  The pack comes with a buildable Peter Venkman LEGO minifigure and Proton Pack, Ecto-1 and Ghost Trap – all playable in the game. Players can replay through the game and other levels to trap ghosts and access more collectibles in their journey to save the LEGO multiverse.

Players who want to head back to the future in an epic LEGO Dimensions adventure, can add the Back to the Future Level Pack which unlocks the exclusive “A Hill Valley Time Travel Adventure” level. The pack comes with a buildable Marty McFly LEGO minifigure, DeLorean Time Machine which can travel through time and access areas, plus a Hoverboard.  Players can also expand their LEGO Dimensions gameplay with the Back to the Future Doc Brown Fun Pack, featuring a buildable Doc Brown minifigure and rebuildable Traveling Time Train.
