How To Watch The PS5 Games Reveal Event Tomorrow: Start Date And Time

After initially delaying the event following ongoing nationwide protests over police brutality, Sony is now proceeding with its PlayStation 5 games reveal event, titled The Future of Gaming. Find out when and where to watch it below.

PS5 Games Reveal Event Start Date And Time

The PS5 reveal event is scheduled for Thursday, June 11 at 1 PM PDT / 9 PM BST / 10 PM CEST.

The digital games showcase will run “for a bit more than an hour” and give viewers a “first look” at some PS5 games that will be playable when the console releases this holiday season, according to the official PlayStation blog. The event will be “best” streamed with headphones due to some “cool audio work in the show,” but Sony did not specify further.

Dirt 5 Can Run At 120 FPS On Xbox Series X

Dirt 5 will utilize the power of the Xbox Series X to have the option to run at 120 fps, Codemasters said in an interview.

In an interview with Xbox Wire Codemasters technical director David Springate revealed how the developer was using the upgraded hardware of the Xbox Series X to develop Dirt 5. Springate said that not only could the game reach 120 fps, but they were surprised how quickly they got there.

“More importantly, I was shocked at how quickly we could hit 120 fps!” Springate said. “We hadn’t done any optimization for it at this stage but the game was frequently hitting 120 fps.” Springate cited the system’s GPU and CPU for making this possible in addition to improving physics and lowering input latency.

He also said the transition to developing for the new hardware was was easier, thanks to a toolset, the Game Development Kit, letting Codemasters start development sooner than expected.

“This kind of thinking from Xbox allowed us to get a real head start on next-gen development,” Springate said. “I’ve never worked on a console launch where, while we’re still months away from release, the tools have been this mature, this stable, this easy to work with.”

Dirt 5 is releasing in October 2020 for Xbox One, PS4 and PC, as well as Xbox Series X and PS5 when they release holiday 2020.

Disneyland Announces Reopening Plan For California Hotels And Theme Parks

“When will Disneyland re-open?” is a question that’s been on many Disney fans’ minds since the Covid-19 pandemic forced theme parks to close along with countless other businesses earlier this year. Now, we have an answer: pending government approval, Disney Parks, Experiences and Products plans to re-open Anaheim, California’s Downtown Disney District on July 9, Disneyland park and Disney California Adventure on July 17, and the Grand Californian Hotel & Spa and Paradise Pier Hotel on July 23.

The company announced its “proposal” in a press release. In order to make re-opening safer and limit spread of the virus, they plan to institute a new reservations system for park entry. “Because theme park capacity will be significantly limited to comply with governmental requirements and promote physical distancing, the Disneyland Resort will manage attendance through a new theme park reservation system that will require all guests, including Annual Passholders, to obtain a reservation for park entry in advance,” the announcement says. Details about that reservation system are forthcoming and will be available on Disneyland.com. In the meantime, regular new ticket sales as well as annual pass sales and renewals will remain paused.

Even when the parks and other areas re-open, events and attractions that draw large crowds–including parades, “nighttime spectaculars,” and character meet and greets–will still be on hold, to “return at a later date” (although characters will still be present in some capacity). In the hotels, physical distancing guidelines and enhanced cleaning measures will take effect. Disney promised additional “enhanced health and safety measures” once the park and hotels re-open in order to further ensure guest safety.

Prior to this official news, the Orange County Register reported that California plans to allow theme parks to re-open beginning in Stage 3 of the government’s four-stage process to reopening the economy. We’re currently in Stage 2, and Stage 3 is expected to begin any time. That means Disney’s plan could very well go ahead as proposed, and Disneyland parks, hotels, and shopping centers could re-open as soon as July.

Meanwhile, Universal Studios Orlando has begun the process of re-opening as well, with similar strict guidelines planned to help keep guests safe.

The Razer Kishi Smartphone Controller Is Now Available

The Razer Kishi is an awesome new mobile controller that we first demoed back at CES 2020, surprising us with its ability to serve as a great companion for the games found in Project xCloud. If you’re interested in snagging yourself a great mobile controller, then you’ll be happy to hear the Android version is available now. The Kishi fits around almost all devices, connecting to your smartphone via USB-C and allowing for pass-through charging of your smartphone. The Razer Kishi for Android is $80 USD, with an iPhone model planned for the future.

The Razer Kishi works with all games that support third-party controllers. Unfortunately, some games only support specific controllers, such as Call of Duty Mobile, which is only compatible with official first-party PS4 and Xbox One controllers. If you’re lucky enough to be a part of Microsoft’s Project xCloud streaming beta that allows you to play Xbox One games on your Android device, then you’ll be happy to know the Kishi is compatible.

We tested the Razer Kishi at CES 2020 with Devil May Cry 5 and came away impressed. The Kishi is well-built, and while it’s not as high quality as an Xbox One controller, and the buttons are a little mushy, it’s still a great controller that exceeds expectations.

Razer also has a number of other mobile options as well, including the Razer Junglecat, a Nintendo Switch-style option for specific phones, and the Razer Raiju Mobile, which emulates the company’s Elite-style controllers for mobile phones, complete with programmable back paddles and more.

HBO Max to Pull Batman Films, Many Other DC Movies

HBO Max launched at the end of May, with many DC movies fans might have expected to see on WarnerMedia’s new streaming service missing at time of launch. Starting July 1, even more notable DC movies will be unavailable to watch on HBO Max.

ComicBook.com confirmed that Justice League, Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice, Wonder Woman, Suicide Squad, Batman, Batman Returns, Batman Forever, Batman & Robin, Catwoman, Jonah Hex, and The Losers will all be pulled from rotation as of July 1.

[widget path=”global/article/imagegallery” parameters=”albumSlug=the-dark-knight-trilogy-and-more-dc-movies-and-series-missing-on-hbo-max&captions=true”]

An HBO Max spokesperson said, “We have a collection of DC films that will rotate on the platform. We have a new batch coming in July and then another batch coming in August.”

Precisely which DC movies will be coming in August remains unclear, nor is it clear when those pulled DC titles might return to HBO Max.

As the site points out, the only DC movies currently available on HBO Max that will stay in rotation through July are Aquaman, Shazam!, Joker, Green Lantern, and Supergirl.

Will so few DC titles be enough to satiate fans and subscribers until HBO Max releases The Snyder Cut of Justice League next year? Let us know in the comments.

A Total War Saga: Troy Blends History and Myth

The sun rises over the hills and plains that slope down to the sea from the storied city of Troy, and my Achaean army under notoriously moody gym rat Achilles stands poised to face off with his hard-headed rival, Hector. The first thing I notice is what’s missing from this scene. For one thing, cavalry – with one exception, but we’ll get to that. Creative Assembly’s new Sofia, Bulgaria studio has sought to faithfully represent the warfare of the Bronze Age Aegean, the furthest back in time the series has ever gone. And when you go back that far, even some things we take for granted in Total War – like mounted warriors – were rare.

The piece of this new saga I got to check out was specifically showing off the real time battles, so that’s mostly what I’ll focus on. Not much has been revealed about the campaign so far.

This Total War Saga Gets You on Your Feet

Warfare in the age many historians believe the legendary Trojan War took place was heavily infantry-focused. You’d find horses on the battlefield as beasts of burden or driving chariots, but even the latter were mostly used for transportation, scouting, and communication more than getting involved directly in combat. So even compared to other Total War games that portray a fairly narrow set of cultures, like Shogun 2 or Three Kingdoms, your options for plausible units to include are restricted.

[widget path=”global/article/imagegallery” parameters=”albumSlug=a-total-war-saga-troy-screenshots&captions=true”]

But Homer’s Iliad, the version of the Trojan War most of us are familiar with and a major inspiration for A Total War Saga: Troy, is filled with all kinds of gods and monsters and other mythological madness. I went in half expecting to see pegasus-mounted heroes, giants and gorgons, and maybe a cyclops or two. But this definitely isn’t the fantasy battle royale of Total War: Warhammer. There are some powerful “mythic” units to be recruited, but the devs have chosen to take a “truth behind the myth” approach and present them as things that could have somewhat plausibly existed and inspired the later myths.

Hector employed the services of a minotaur in the battle I played, but this wasn’t a labyrinth-dwelling man-beast. Rather, he’s an absurdly tall and buff bandit king who wears a bull’s skull into battle to intimidate his foes and evoke his Minoan heritage. I mentioned that cavalry aren’t a regular tool in your roster, but Achilles got to field a unit of centaurs – which are basically primitive horsemen, appearing to be as one with their steeds and hailing from a nomadic culture that was ahead of the curve on the whole cavalry thing.

[poilib element=”quoteBox” parameters=”excerpt=This%20definitely%20isn%E2%80%99t%20the%20fantasy%20battle%20royale%20of%20Total%20War%3A%20Warhammer.”]

Myth Me With That

[ignvideo url=”https://www.ign.com/videos/2019/09/19/a-total-war-saga-troy-campaign-trailer”]

These “mythic” units may be grounded in reality, but they are still very powerful. The minotaur was able to easily hold his own against an entire unit of regular troops, charging into the fray like a berserker. Likewise heroes like Achilles are paragons of martial skill with a Rage meter that builds as they spend time in combat and can be used to activate powerful abilities. CA Sofia says they’ll mostly be useful fighting on the front lines alongside your other troops, though, and can quickly get into trouble trying to accomplish objectives on their own. They’re potent, but not as single-handedly powerful as an experienced lord or hero in Total War: Warhammer or Total War: Three Kingdoms.

Even with heroes and mythic units sprinkled in to spice things up, there’s still the issue of how to keep the core rosters interesting and distinct when almost everyone is some variation of Dude With A Pointy Stick And Maybe A Shield. The devs are very aware of this issue, and have created a three-tiered system of infantry to keep things interesting. Light units are the fastest, and largely replace cavalry in a flanking and harassing role. Heavy units have very low mobility, but are unparalleled in a head-to-head fight. Medium units exist somewhere in the middle.

[poilib element=”quoteBox” parameters=”excerpt=Troy%E2%80%99s%20battlefields%20also%20feature%20mud%2C%20which%20will%20slow%20down%20heavier%20units%20but%20allow%20lighter%20ones%20to%20pass%20mostly%20unhindered.”]

Hector’s Trojan army and Achilles’ Achaean one illustrate two opposing philosophies within this system. Hector has lots of durable, heavy infantry units including a small cadre of elite troops that take no morale or combat penalties for being flanked or surrounded. If they can get dug in on favorable terrain, they’re very difficult to dislodge. Achilles brings a much more mobile, aggressive force including swift-footed skirmishers who can get in, toss a salvo of javelins, and get out before Hector’s heavier units can respond. Terrain is also key here. Hills and forests have long been a part of the tactical landscape in Total War, but Troy’s battlefields also feature mud, which will slow down heavier units but allow lighter ones to pass mostly unhindered, and sand, which slows down everyone to some degree.

Troy’s Absolute Units

[ignvideo url=”https://www.ign.com/videos/2019/09/19/total-war-saga-troy-announce-trailer”]

The unit diversity is impressive even in this one battle considering all the restrictions discussed above. With three weight classes, and variation within those classes between melee and missile specialists, some more offense-focused, some more defense-focused, and some trading raw stats for versatility, you’re definitely not going to be looking at two identical lines of spearmen scrapping all the time. Some units can also switch weapon types, such as going from spear to sword, or stashing their shields to use their spears two-handed and deal more damage.

When two heroes meet, they have the option of engaging in an impressively choreographed duel similar to Three Kingdoms. These challenges are triggered by a character ability and last for a set amount of time, rather than until one side is killed or retreats. Duel animations are satisfyingly kinetic and cinematic, with daring leaps and stoic shield blocks. Since they’re not necessarily to the death, one combatant usually came out ahead, leaving the other wounded but alive to fight another day. Which is appropriate. It’s a very long poem.

[poilib element=”quoteBox” parameters=”excerpt=The%20eight%20playable%20factions%20each%20have%20a%20%E2%80%9CHomeric%20victory%E2%80%9D%20condition%20that%20leads%20them%20down%20the%20path%20they%20followed%20in%20the%20Iliad.”]

Speaking of said poem, how much will we be forced to follow it? The Iliad largely focuses on the Siege of Troy, which isn’t how Total War normally does things. How can you make a conflict over one city last as long as a full campaign? Well, the answer is that you can pay as much attention to the classic story as you feel like. The eight playable factions (four Greek and four Trojan) each have a “Homeric victory” condition that leads them down the path they followed in the Iliad. But if you want a more traditional Total War experience, there’s also a conquest victory which bids you to control a certain amount of territory. While we didn’t get to see much of the campaign map, I was told that it will be “on par with [Total War: Warhammer 2’s] Mortal Empires” in terms of the number of conquerable regions. Divided roughly between Greek and Anatolian cultural spheres, it spans all of Greece proper, the coastal parts of Anatolia, and as far south as the island of Crete.

Total War’s Faction Friction

[ignvideo url=”https://www.ign.com/videos/2018/05/01/total-war-saga-thrones-of-britannia-review”]

And you’ll run into much more than just the eight major factions. The playable Achaean Greeks will have to deal with the neighboring Ionians (including Athens), Aeolians, and Dorians, united under the general Greek “family” but each with some cultural distinctiveness. Likewise the Trojans will be only one of four tribal groupings found on the Anatolian side of the map. There will be more than 100 distinct factions in total, so while the scope might be smaller than some other Total Wars, the scale certainly won’t be.

The personalities of each legendary hero will be felt in their campaign as well. Achilles’ aforementioned moodiness will lead his faction to be somewhat at his emotional whims. Some turns, he might be fired up and ready to kick some ass, granting bonuses. Others, he might slip into a funk and diminish your momentum. It’s hard being so buff and so destined for greatness. Sometimes you have to just lay in the white sand and listen to your “Feelin’ Blue” playlist on Spotify before you can get back to running hundreds of enemy combatants through with a spear.

[poilib element=”quoteBox” parameters=”excerpt=There%20will%20be%20more%20than%20100%20distinct%20factions%20in%20total.”]

Where are the gods in all of this? While CA Sofia is trying to avoid overtly supernatural interventions, the ancient Greeks definitely believed their deities had a hand in deciding the course of wars. As such, it will be possible to curry Divine Favor with specific deities by building temples to them and giving them regular offerings. Showing great devotion will grant campaign bonuses to represent your people believing the gods are on their side. But neglecting temples or skimping on the sacrifices can lead to penalties instead, as the people come to feel you have lost the favor of the Olympians.

A Total War Saga: Troy will launch exclusively on the Epic Games Store on August 13, and will be free to keep if you download it in the first 24 hours.

Where to Find Arcade1up Preorders

We just learned of the new Arcade1up cabinet line-up as part of our Summer of Gaming coverage, and the selection is pretty spectacular. Joining the 3/4-scale line-up are 3 new cabinets along with its first ever digital 3/4-scale pinball table.

Where to Preorder New Arcade1up Cabinets

Outside of a slick announcement, there isn’t any concrete information on where and when you’ll be able to add one of these cabinets to your home arcade set-up. However, there is a page on the Arcade1up site itself to sign up for email notification the second the cabinets and new pinball table are available.

[ignvideo url=”https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/06/10/x-men-vs-street-fighter-arcade-cabinet-announcement-trailer”]

Previous Arcade1up cabinets have been available pretty much everywhere you’d expect to find video games, although there have been some retailer-exclusives as well as exclusive, premium cabinets sold only through the Arcade1up site itself.

My best guess is you won’t have any problem finding them at Walmart, Best Buy, GameStop and Amazon, at least at first. The Arcade1up TMNT cabinet from last year sold out pretty quickly at first, but has since settled down to more manageable levels. The 4-player, online-enabled NBA Jam cabinet is currently available for preorder and comes out next week.

Of course, we’ll be updating this article as the preorders go live at different retailers, so you can always just bookmark it and keep checking back. An even better suggestion would be to follow IGN Deals on Twitter, because that’s much faster and lets you know right away when preorders are open (unless it’s at night, when I’m sleeping).

It will be available to pre-order later this year.

Marvel Digital Pinball is a little more left-field, taking Zen Studios’ well-known digital pinball game and housing it inside a physical table. The table features an accelerometer to allow for real nudging in the digital game, solenoid-enabled buttons for proper feedback, and a 24″ recessed screen. The machine will include 10 pre-loaded Marvel tables from Zen, which can be accessed from user controls where you’d usually find the table’s coin slot. We’ve reached out about the full list of games.

Arcade 1Up Big Buck Hunter Cabinet

Finally, Arcade1Up has partnered with Play Mechanix to bring its Big Buck Hunter franchise to a mid-sized machine. The first Arcade1Up cabinet to feature lightguns, it will be modeled after the original Big Buck Hunter Pro cabinet, but will feature content from four different games in the series: Big Buck Hunter Pro, Big Buck Hunter Pro Open Season, Big Buck Safari and Big Buck Safari Outback.
