New Xbox One Controllers Are Up for Preorder: Sport Blue and Night Ops Camo

I don’t think there’s ever been a better standard controller than the one that comes with Xbox One. But if you’re still using a black or white controller, it might be time to add a splash of color to your gaming life. Microsoft has a wide variety of colorful controllers available, but it has just announced two new special edition designs that look pretty fantastic: Sport Blue and Night Ops Camo. They’ll release later this year for $69.99 each, but you can preorder them now.

Gears 5 Horde Mode Revealed

The Gears 5 presentation at Microsoft’s Inside Xbox Gamescom showcase revealed a selection of new features, including the return of Horde mode and a Halo: Reach character pack.

Horde mode returns in a familiar guise with a few modern additions. Once again players will team up in squads to fend off waves of increasingly stronger enemies and bosses, but this time each player takes on the role of a unique character with Ultimate abilities. For example. JD can call in an airstrike, and Kait can use a cloak. Together, the team can build defenses, collect power, and level up skills to become a more effective force. Alongside classic hero characters, players can also play as Jack in Horde mode. The squad’s robot pal doesn’t require cover and can buff nearby allies or hack enemies.

6 Big Changes in Ghost Recon Breakpoint’s PVP

By Ubisoft’s own admission, Ghost War – Ghost Recon Wildlands’ PVP mode – was an afterthought, tacked onto the campaign rather than integrated from the start. In Ghost Recon Breakpoint, Ghost War has been rebuilt from scratch alongside the rest of the game, taking onboard community feedback and lessons learned from Wildlands.

Ghost War is still the same 4-vs-4 game mode at heart, but from the three hours I’ve played it already feels more satisfying, with a number of key improvements combining to make it feel superior to Wildlands in every way.

Wildlands’ sprawling class system has been streamlined in favour of something simpler and more flexible. In Breakpoint there are four classes – Assault, Sharpshooter and Panther were available in the demo I played, plus Medic will also be available in the final game.
