Fallout TV Series in the works at Amazon

0

One of the most popular video game franchises of the past 20 years is finally getting the live-action treatment it has long deserved. Amazon have partnered with Westworld creators Jonathan Nolan & Lisa Joy to develop a series based on the Fallout video game franchise. Fans of the series have been waiting for sometime to hear this and it has been officially confirmed.

There is no release date set for the Fallout series, however Variety magazine has shared some details about what fans can expect when it arrives. They have said its hoping to bring “the harshness of the wasteland set against the previous generation’s utopian idea of a better world through nuclear energy” on top of this adding in some “moments of ironic humor & B-movie-nuclear-fantasies”

The Fallout series has spawned different settings in the post-nuclear country, so there is no telling in which where the series will take place. The two most popular games in their franchise were Fallout 3 & Fallout 4 which take place in Washington D.C. & Boston.

Are you happy there is a Fallout TV series finally in the works? Let us know what you think

0

On our last feature, G-SHOCK has announced the ONE PIECE collaboration. Now another Japanese anime has been added to the G-SHOCK family of shock-resistant watches. The GA-110JDB has been developed in collaboration with Dragon Ball Z, a Japanese TV anime series popular with fans worldwide.

Dragon Ball Z is an adventure story involving the quest to find the seven dragon balls. Whoever
finds all seven can have any wish granted. The series focuses on the journey of the main character, Son Goku, as he makes friends and protects the world from evil forces, all the while constantly striving to become a better, stronger version of himself.

Based on the GA-110 which features a big watch case with a 3D presence, the new GA-110JDB expresses the worldview of Dragon Ball Z using bold color and design. The orange body and watch bands are covered in Dragon Ball illustrations and graphic elements, including scenes of training and growth for the main character, Son Goku. The dial and logo are enhanced with a gold accents, for a strong impact. The inset dial in the 9 o’clock position displays a four-star ball motif. This ball is one of the seven dragon balls and is the one most closely associated with Son Goku. In the 3 o’clock position, there is a “Z” motif. The Dragon Ball Z logo can be found on the case back and on the special package. This unique product design befits this special collaboration model.

G-SHOCK x Dragon Ball Z Limited Edition will be available in the third quarter of 2020. For price and availability updates, make sure you follow @GSHOCKOZ or @GSHOCK_SG on Instagram and @G-SHOCK Australia or @Casio G-SHOCK (SG) on Facebook.

FIFA 21 First Look & Release Infomation

0

FIFA 21 launches worldwide on 9th October 2020 for PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. But if you pre-order the FIFA 21 Ultimate Edition or Champions Edition you can play from 6th October.

Here is the first trailer for the game which EA dropped recently and also includes a look at Madden 21 for the NFL fans.

That’s the current-gen news, but what about next-gen? EA Sports said it will announce the release date of FIFA 21 on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X later in the year. However, if you buy FIFA 21 on PS4 or Xbox One before the release of FIFA 22 in 2021, you can upgrade your game for the equivalent next-gen console for free.

Fifa 21 PSG

As you’d expect, the physical copy of FIFA 21 on PS4 also includes your entitlement to download and play the PS5 version of the game (and Xbox One with Xbox Series X), so you still can upgrade for free if you buy a next-gen console with a disc drive. However, if you buy a discless next-gen console, you need to buy FIFA 21 digitally to take advantage of the upgrade offer “as physical discs cannot currently be used to upgrade to discless consoles”.

Fifa 21 Liverpool Machester City

All progress you make or content you buy within FIFA 21 Ultimate Team, including players, items, coins, FIFA Points, match record, and leaderboard placement, as well as all progression in Volta mode, will transfer from current-gen to next-gen. However, progress within all other modes including Online Seasons, Co-Op Seasons, Career Mode, and Pro Clubs, will be specific to the console you are playing on and won’t transfer between consoles.

Thoughts on this one football fans? Will you get this one?

ONE PIECE x G-SHOCK GA-110JOP

0

A new addition to the G-SHOCK family of shock-resistant watches has been announced. The GA-110JOP has been developed in collaboration with ONE PIECE, a popular Japanese TV anime series.

ONE PIECE is a hit Japanese teen manga series by Eiichiro Oda published in Weekly Shonen Jump magazine. Monkey D. Luffy is a young man who dreams of becoming a pirate king, and the tale of his dreams and friendships on his adventures seeking the grand treasure ONE PIECE is popular around the world. With its release in 1997, the manga series quickly gained a following and then debuted as a TV anime series in 1999. As a long-running series with a consistently strong fan base, ONE PIECE passed the 900-episode mark in 2019. The series has also generated a large number of theatrical releases, with the 14th and latest film in the series, ONE PIECE STAMPEDE, being the 2nd highest grossing in the ONE PIECE films.

Based on the GA-110, popular worldwide, the new GA-110JOP also sports a big watch case. Using black as the base color, the entire watch is emblazoned with dynamic illustrations of the main character, Monkey D. Luffy, who is growing and becoming stronger. The indicator of the inset dial in the 9 o’clock position features Luffy’s straw hat as a design motif, while the word, “WANTED” is found in the 3 o’clock position. Also, when the hour and minute hands point to the 2 o’clock and 4 o’clock positions respectively, they combine visually with the two diagonal lines on the dial to form a golden “X”. This represents the X-shaped scar on Luffy’s chest, and also expresses the ONE PIECE love of adventure and treasure hunting in the smallest of details.

The new model comes in a special package offering added enjoyment for collectors, along with a combined “G-SHOCK × ONE PIECE” logo on the case back. This makes it a special model that demonstrates collaboration between the ever-advancing G-SHOCK line and the exciting ONE PIECE series where Luffy sets out on adventures to new worlds.

G-SHOCK x ONE PIECE Limited Edition will be available in the third quarter of 2020. For price and availability updates, make sure you follow @GSHOCKOZ or @GSHOCK_SG on Instagram and @G-SHOCK AUSTRALIA or @Casio G-SHOCK (SG) on Facebook.

Star Wars: Squadrons First Look

0

EA has announced a new Star Wars game, Star Wars: Squadrons which is a first person space combat game that will have players flying the series’ famous starfighters in a head-to-head single player & multiplayer battles.

Developed by Motive Montreal (which previously contributed to both Battlefront II and Anthem), Squadrons will let players fly a variety of Star Wars ships, including the X-Wing, A-Wing, Y-Wing, U-Wing, TIE Fighter, TIE Interceptor, TIE Bomber, and TIE Reaper fighters.

Star Wars Squadrons X-Wing

Star Wars: Squadrons also shows that EA has learned some considerable lessons from Star Wars Battlefront II. The game will offer extension customization options for both gameplay-altering items like weapons, hulls, engines, and shields as well as a variety of cosmetics to customize their cockpit, ship, and pilot appearance, the company promises that everything will be “earned solely through gameplay.”

Star Wars Squadrons

Another welcome improvement: cross-platform support, with multiplayer supported between players on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC. Squadrons will also be compatible with VR headsets on PC and the PlayStation 4 for players who want even more immersion.

While recent Star Wars titles (like Star Wars: Battlefront II) have put players in the cockpits of X-Wings, TIE Fighters, and other iconic vehicles from the franchise, it’s been over a decade since there was a major Star Wars game devoted to space battles, the most recent being 2003’s Star Wars Rogue Squadron III: Rebel Strike for the Nintendo GameCube. But there’s a long pedigree of starfighter combat games in the Star Wars franchise, most famously lead by the X-Wing and TIE Fighter games released for PC in the 1990s that focused on more “realistic” space combat.

Star Wars: Squadrons is set to be released on Xbox One, Playstation 4 & PC on October 2nd 2020. EA has yet to announce whether it will be offering a next-gen version for the upcoming Playstation 5 & Xbox Series X later this year.
