Review: Cyberpunk 2077 Limited Edition Xbox One Wireless Controller

So far everything about Cyberpunk 2077 has my attention, from the marketing and trailers, to the social media promotions and the incredible Cyberpunk 2077 Guided Gameplay preview that was shown at EGX 2019. Not to mention the very fact that he has the “Breathtaking” Keanu Reeves playing the role of Johnny Silverhand. Well, how best to honour that character than by giving him his very own unique Xbox One Wireless Controller

The moment I saw this controller I know I needed it in my collection for when I play Cyberpunk 2077 when it releases in September and in fact I actually had planned to do a double hitter Birthday treat for myself by picking up the controller and the game together. However, this controller is in limited numbers and I noticed that it was becoming increasingly difficult to track down so when a notification popped up at my local ARGOS to say that it was back in stock but in limited numbers….well…..no brainer really!

Straight away I love the packaging design for the controller with the box matching the vibrant colours of the Cyberpunk 2077 marketing so far, both front and back keeping the branding on point making the reveal of the actual controller when you cut that sealing tape and open the box even more special.

This is one spectacular looking controller and as I have said before, the team over at Xbox Seattle just make the finest to retail custom consoles and controllers for any platform right now. Just the colours alone make this controller pop as the left side is Silver with Red bumper and trigger buttons whilst the right side is black but with the face buttons black with red to offset the classic black bumper and trigger buttons.

What makes this controller design more delightful are the decals on the controller with the left Silver side bearing the Arasaka Corporation logo, a world-wide mega-corporation dealing in corporate security, banking, and manufacturing who as dodgy as they are powerful. Both thumbsticks have the rubberised grip as does the back of the controller to help maintain hand grip in the sweatiest of shoot-outs, races and firefights you may have playing on Xbox and Cyberpunk 2077 especially. I love how both colour schemes elegantly meet with a style that feel like its machinery spliced to an organic controller.

The right side has the iconic ‘NO FUTURE’ literally scratched into the controller and when your fingers feel the scratch as it does the joint as each side connects. Having that tactile feeling is what makes this controller standout as the same technique that was used on the GEARS 5 Custom Console and Controller. It adds an extra layer to what is already a visually delicious controller design and I really do love the distressed style to it with visible scratches and paint tearing

The battery cover has the SAMURAI gang emblem on it for that finishing touch when you turn the controller around and something that at first made it shout YES outloud but quickly discovered it was just standard for this controller, was seeing what I first believed was a Limited Edition Number saying *2077 but of course, each controller has this alongside a QR code that when scanned….well I won’t spoil that.

As with all Xbox Controllers, two AA Batteries are also included so you can use this controller right out the box as well the usual warranty information and a handy 14 Day Trial code for Xbox Game Pass Ultimate….and this is where I am a little disappointed in that I do feel these trial codes never help the person purchasing it as at this point, who does not have a current subscription to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate really and these trial codes only work on new accounts. Personally I feel a one month code should be included, especially in custom consoles, to allow a person to extend their XGPU subscription but that is more of a personal peeve than a complaint against this controller. There is also no in game reward or item code with this controller which is a shame, even if it included something like a cosmetic item to make you stand out in the game itself as you will if you are playing the game using this controller.

I really love this controller and how it looks and feels and glad I was able to get one before stock ran out, believe me this was not an easy controller to track down online here in London. This will now wait until I have Cyberpunk 2077 in my Xbox One X to play come September and I genuinely wish I could afford the custom console as well but for now, this controller will look great whilst playing the game and in my collection.

Cyberpunk 2077 releases on September 17th 2020 for Xbox One, enhanced for Xbox One X and with the new ‘Smart Delivery’ for the soon to be released next generation Xbox Series X console, all you have to do is buy Cyberpunk 2077 ONCE and when you come to owning the Series X, it will automatically update it to the Series X version….FOR FREE!!!

Review: Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition

It’s been a long time since Nintendo released a trio of special JRPG on the Nintendo Wii.

Resident Evil: Village Announced for New Gen Consoles for 2021

0

During the PlayStation’s Future of Gaming digital event, Capcom, a leading worldwide developer and publisher of video games, announced Resident Evil Village, the eighth entry in the best-selling Resident Evil series. The all-new title is currently in development using Capcom’s proprietary RE Engine, which was used to create vivid gameplay experiences in hit titles such as Resident Evil 7 biohazard, Resident Evil 2, Resident Evil 3, and Devil May Cry 5. RE Engine paired with next generation console technology will elevate the survival horror experience in Resident Evil Village to new heights, as the title will showcase the most realistic and terrifying graphics to date. 

In the debut cinematic trailer released today, Capcom revealed a glimpse of the evocative new setting and storyline of Resident Evil Village. Set a few years after the critically acclaimed Resident Evil 7 biohazard, the all-new storyline begins with Ethan and his wife Mia living peacefully in a new location, free from their past nightmares. Just as they are building their new life together, tragedy befalls them once again. Chris Redfield, the legendary hero from the Resident Evil series who made a brief appearance in Resident Evil 7 biohazard, is reacquainted with the couple and horribly disrupts their life, leaving Ethan devastated and thrown into an entirely new nightmare.

The first-person action in Resident Evil Village begins when players assume the role of a distraught and shattered Ethan as he seeks to uncover the mysterious new horrors that plague a once peaceful village. Throughout this terrifying journey, players will fight for every breath as they are hunted by vicious new enemies that have infested the snow-capped locale. Channeling the capabilities of next generation consoles, the detailed realism and relentless feeling of fear will increase with each desperate battle for survival, while moments of calm will leave players wondering what new horrors await.

Resident Evil Village is scheduled for a 2021 release on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X and Steam.

Goodbye Volcano High Announced for PS4 and PS5 in 2021

0

Indie studio KO_OP, developers of the award-winning GNOG and Winding Worlds, are proud to reveal their brand new title via today’s PlayStation Digital Showcase: the cinematic narrative adventure Goodbye Volcano High. The emotional, high-stakes teenage narrative adventure will take players on a  journey to self discovery, deciding how to live your life to the fullest when you know that your days are numbered. 

The team is also excited to welcome actor Lachlan Watson (Chilling Adventures of Sabrina) who will lend their voice to Fang, the game’s playable protagonist. Goodbye Volcano High will be making its debut in 2021 on the PlayStation 5 (PS5) system, PlayStation 4 and Steam.   

Fang is a typical 18-year-old dinosaur: they’re more concerned about their band going viral than they are about what happens after graduation. But they’re about to have much bigger problems. Will they find time to figure themselves out? Can they balance navigating a changing world with a budding romance? During hard times, what do we owe each other? Goodbye Volcano High is a cinematic narrative adventure about the end of an era… and the beginning of a love story.  

“This type of game is definitely a first for KO_OP. We are creating a detailed and colorful art style that resembles an animated movie, with gorgeous hand-painted backgrounds and expressive characters that come together to create a game where every shot feels special. Our goal with the art is to bring you close to what the characters are experiencing, and allow their emotions to really shine through,” says Lucie Viatge, the Art Director on the project. “We’ve been building an incredible team of artists for the project, and it’s been really amazing to bring our vision to life.”

Goodbye Volcano High is a queer narrative adventure game created by a diverse team: one of the key pillars of the studio. “Our company is a co-op in which all the voices matter. The team working on GVH is about ten people, all coming from diverse backgrounds. Making a queer game about a non-binary main character is hugely important to us,” says Saleem Dabbous, Studio Director. “Partnering with PlayStation has given us the opportunity to build something of incredible production value. Everything you see in this first trailer was taken directly from the game and is playable.” 

Features: 

  • Fully voice-acted cast featuring Lachlan Watson (Chilling Adventures of Sabrina
  • A queer narrative created by a diverse team with multiple storylines and unique endings
  • DUALSENSE Wireless Controller haptic technology creates a new kind of storytelling experience (PS5 only)
  • Cinematic and musical minigames that blend seamlessly into the narrative
  • Guide Fang through difficult choices with branching storylines 
  • Hand drawn art and animations rendered in stunning 4K 
  • Original soundtrack composed by Dabu (Winding Worlds, Dwarf Fortress) featuring local Montreal musician Brigitte Naggar on vocals
