The beta will be open for four days on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC on October 8th-October 12th. There will be three different game modes to chose from: Walker Assault, Drop Zone, and Survival Mission. Walker Assault and Survival Mission will require a internet connection to play, but if you want to get some couch co-op fun, then you can start up Survival Mission.

A leveling system will also be included. You can level your character up to level 5, but sadly that progression doesn’t carry over to the full game in November. There will be some in game items and such you can unlock for the final game though.

The best part about this news is you do not have to register or pre-order anything. When the beta goes live next month, all you have to do in download the application, and play.

The full Star Wars: Battlefront game come out November 17, 2015

Arkham Knight is Coming Back to PC “in the Coming Weeks”

Hey, remember that whole Batman: Arkham Knight debacle? Yeah? Me too, it’s still in my steam library ready to be reinstalled. Well, there seems to be some light at the end of the tunnel. Warner Brother’s says that the improved PC version will be re-releasing “in the coming weeks” but there is no date on exactly when.

The quote comes from Rocksteady’s recent press release about upcoming Arkham Knight DLC. The last line of the document reads that the PC version will be released soon. So look for it to be in the Steam store and other online retailers “in the coming weeks.”

It’s finally here again gamers! It’s the weekend and I hope you are able to get plenty of game time in.

I will be continuing my journey in Metal Gear Solid V I’m still pretty early in the game, for the most part. Between missions I always end up doing all of the side-ops, and upgrading everything I can, and just goofing off in Afghanistan. Something tells me that I will be playing this game for quite a while. I will also be playing Heroes of the Storm, of course. Hopefully, if I have enough playing time, I will stream as well.

That’s enough about me, what about you? What are you playing this weekend?

This trailer shows off the gameplay and the grand scale of things to come in the latest iteration of the hard as hell Souls series. Straight from the Bandai-Namco Youtube page:

“Dark Souls III continues to push the boundaries with the latest, ambitious chapter in critically-acclaimed and genre-defining series. As fires fade and only embers remain, journey once more into a world filled with more daunting and colossal enemies and environments. Players will be immersed into a world of epic atmosphere and darkness through faster gameplay and amplified combat intensity. New to the series are the Battle Arts attacks. You’ll be able to deliver powerful attacks that will break through enemy defenses. Each weapon will have its own unique Battle Arts.”

We can expect Dark Souls 3 early 2016. Check out the video below.

Vega Returns in Street Fighter V

“Let my beauty intoxicate you.”

The Spanish ninja makes his return to the series. Vega is one of the 8 original world warriors and seems deadlier than ever.

Vega looks to play differently, yet the same, this time around. The Flying Barcelona, his signature move, is still part of his move set, but he seems so much more stylish this time around. He is a matador and with his play style in SFV, Capcom seems to have really captured the elegance and grace of a matador with the spins Vega does during his combos. Just because he moves so smoothly, doesn’t mean the Spaniard isn’t just as deadly. He can be seen throwing a barrage of claw slashes during his deadly combos in the video below.

With the latest edition of Vega, that brings the current roster up to 9 characters. It’s to see you back Vega.

It’s finally here again gamers! It’s the weekend! Hopefully you are able to get some good playing time in.

I will be playing some Rocket League. This game is ridiculously fun and can be played for hours. I actually played until 3:30 last night with some friends. I kind of regret that right now. I will also be playing Heroes of the Storm as well as some Ultra Street Fighter, and checking out some of the new Smash Bro’s 4 updates. Some streaming will also be happening to be sure to follow my Twitch Channel to know when I go live.

That’s enough about me, what about you? What are you playing this weekend?

thegeekdojo.wordpress.comOne of the best games of 2015 so far is getting even better. CD Projekt Red just announced on their Facebook page that The Witcher 3 will be getting a new game plus mode. This is perfect for people like myself that want to play it again at some point in the future. Just like all of the previously released DLC, it will be free. There is no word on when it will come out, because it is still in development, but it should be pretty soon.

This game just keeps getting better and better.
