Red Dead Redemption 2 GME 2018 Presentation Deemed As Boring

The employees of a major retailer, GameStop, were given a presentation of the upcoming Red Dead Redemption 2. It was during the latest GME 2018 (ended on August 30th) when the GameStop employees got the chance to watch a 20-minute presentation of Red Dead Redemption 2, the next second title of the franchise owned by Rockstar Games.

Following this presentation, the employees shared their opinions on Reddit and the least we can say is that they are not happy with the title.

The 20-minute Red Dead Redemption 2 presentation deemed as bored

“Nice game, but most of the time, we saw a riding simulator. Very difficult to stay awake. The shooting scenes looked decent, but the bank robbery was slow. The game will be great and will sell like crazy, but this demo was very boring. Don’t get me wrong, I still think the game will be fantastic, just that the presentation was a bit boring to watch,” said one of those who watched the 20-minute Red Dead Redemption 2 trailer.

Others went even further by renaming the Rockstar’s game as Equestrian Simulator 2k19 and stated that the demo was painful to watch and boring.

While these words are cause for concern, other opinions on the Red Dead Redemption 2 demo reassure us a little

“To put things into context, everyone was exhausted from the past week, and that was the last thing they showed us,” another participant explained. “I dozed off for a minute, but the game is beautiful. The world looks so meticulously built, and the demo was a flawless example of the gameplay mechanics, the open world and the physics that the game can offer. I didn’t play the first episode and didn’t feel any excitement when I announced this sequel, but I left the presentation wanting to play it,” he added.

One thing is certain, the buzz surrounding the upcoming Red Dead Redemption 2 is far from finished, and new previews and presentations are expected in the forthcoming days.

Cory Barlog, Creator of God Of War, Discussed a Concept of a New Superman Game

Another excellent news comes from PAX West 2018 in Seattle where a statement by Cory Barlog, creator of God of War, hints at a Superman game. Barlog also talked about how the game would be like.

Barlog gave a series of ideas about a project on a new Superman game, meaning that the game is still in its theoretical phase and nothing should be taken as granted. He suggested that the new Superman game would feature a young Clark Kent who, while in school, he is getting aware of his superhero side

“I really love the Smallville TV show, and I really love the idea of playing with this concept of character [….] you have to go to school, but you’re also discovering that you’re the best American hero with your powers and it’s a kind of uncomfortable age that you have to balance,” said Cory Barlog, the creator of God of War.

Cory Barlog, the creator of God of War, hinted to a psychological Superman game

His next set of ideas involves branching out paths, where it would be impossible for Superman to save everyone, no matter what the player would do. Superman could even hear the characters’ pleas for help everywhere, and he’d tear between trying to save everyone, but it would still fall short.

“I think the best thing you can do with a Superman game is to explore the psychology of what it would be like to be a person who is slowly beginning to realize that he can’t save everyone. As the game progresses, as the player does this kind of good deed […] everyone starts asking for help and this is where it all really begins,” Barlog added.

Also, according to Cory Barlog, the creator of God of War, the gamers would realize, as Superman, “that the method of brute force punching, the idea of just flying and constantly trying to save people individually, is not working.” So, the players “have to discover a different way because the ultimate goal, psychologically, is to maintain some kind of sanity, is to try to save everyone, which is a great idealistic concept,” Cory Barlog concluded.

We know that’s just a concept but it would be great to see this Superman game live, especially if it comes from the same team that created God of War.

DOOM 2 “Last-Standing” Secret Discovered A Couple Of Days Ago, After 25 Years

Approximately 25 years after the second Doom game launched, the Doom 2 “last-standing” secret was discovered a couple of days ago. John Romero, Doom co-creator, sent his congrats for the Doom player who made the discovery, Zero Master.

“CONGRATS, Zero Master! Finally, after 24 years! ‘To win the game, you must get 100% on level 15 by John Romero.’ Great trick getting to that secret!” said Romero on Twitter.

The secret area is located at Level 15: Industrial Zone in Doom 2 and, although gamers were aware of its existence, no one could enter that zone without using cheat codes. According to John Romero, solving this puzzle is virtually impossible under normal circumstances. However, when getting to that hidden region of the Level 15’s map, you’ll score 100% on secrets which would allow gamers to win the game instantly.

But, Zero Master, a nostalgic Doom player managed to solve out that mysterious puzzle, mostly by chance.

The “last-standing” secret of Doom 2 discovered 25 years after the game’s launch

“Secret explained – A secret teleporter is marked as a discoverable “secret,” but when you touch it, you never enter the sector. So you would never get inside the teleporter sector to trigger the secret. The only way to trigger this secret is to be pushed by an enemy into it!” explained John Romero on Twitter.

Accordingly, Zero Master is the only Doom 2 player in the whole world to score a perfect 100% on Level 15 without using cheats, as the video game has initially been coded.

What’s interesting is that following ports of Doom 2 considered this a bug and fixed it, establishing a link between the teleporter and the secret area. However, the original MS-DOS Doom 2 version, the one Zero Master was playing, was coded as such. Also noteworthy, Zero Master was also the first Doom player in the world to beat Doom 2’s sequel The Plutonia Experiment’s Nightmare difficulty level, back in 2015.

Below, you can see the Zero Master’s video on YouTube where he shows how he managed to beat Doom 2’s Level 15 with 100% secrets found, without cheating.

Google Play Store Face the “Device not compatible” Error Message Problem

A number of users have reportedly announced that they are getting a “Device not compatible” error message in the Google Play Store whenever they want to upgrade GetUpside or install it. The fact that their device should be compatible with the GetUpside does not solve the problem as the message still shows.

The problem is more complicated than expected

After a series of investigations, we have come up to the conclusion that GetUpside is not the only faulty app and that the error message  “Device not compatible” shows up even when we try to download Clash of Clans (100M+ installs) and Instagram (1B+ installs). The cause of this “Device not compatible” error message in the Google Play Store might be that Google’s Android operating system deals with some problems itself.

Here is a step by step guide on how to fix the  “your device is not compatible with this version” error message problem:

Before going to the Google Play Store, start with clearing the Google Play Store cache

  • After that, you can clean the data as well
  • Now you must restart the Google Play Store
  • It is time to try installing the app you want

To clear your Google Play Store cache and data, you need to pull down the notification bar on your Android device, click on the gear-shaped settings icon or go search for it in the application tray. After getting into settings, you need to scroll to App Manager or Apps and then find the Google Play Store. After that, you only need to tap Clear Cache or Data.

If any corrupt files are causing the problem, they will be erased in this method, and it might work now. Supercell, Clash of Clans’ maker and Instagram have heard from their users that this method should solve the issue.

Clash of Clans: Users are Experiencing War Match Problems

For the less experienced, Clash of Clans is a mobile strategy game which was released in 2012 on iOS and 2013 on Android by the Finnish game developer Supercell.

What is the game about?

The game makes you the chief of a village which is placed in a fantasy-themed persistent world. You can build your own town by collecting resources from winning competitions and attacking other players within the fighting features of the game. Dark elixir, elixir, and gold are the primary resources. As a player you can conjoin with other an create clans of up to fifty people with whom you can talk, change troops and partake in Clan Wars together.

What kind of problem are the users experiencing?

Regarding the Clan Wars, we were previously talked about, users have been trying to get in one for the last few days, but the feature does not work. Most users have sent emails to Supercell to ask for directions and answers, but each sender received the same email in which the company explains how a Clan War works avoiding the main question. According to the opinions users shared via a forum, they used to wait from 30 to 90 minutes to get into such a war, but at the moment it can even pass the 24 hour time, and they still can’t access a war. As they were previously informed, they can email Supercell for help at any times, but unfortunately, due to the unsatisfactory answers received from the company, the users consider the Help & Support section a waste of time.

One user suggests that the Finnish company has no control over this situation and it is not their fault that this problem keeps spreading upon players of Clash of Clans.

However, other users do not agree with this statement, and they consider that Supercell must do something about this issue as it becomes more frustrating day by day.

According to a more experienced gamer and a “Forum Hero” “SC basically said they are making it harder for engineered bases, you might want to look at your roster and check out TH spread and a number of engineered bases you are taking to war for your answer.”

Unfortunately for the affected players, the only solution would be to change their war settings or wait for the company to find a proper solving.
