Gran Turismo Sport. Since I (yes I am the only one posting these days, lol) published an article regarding Forza Motorsport 7 (It is my duty to bring you information and media from all gaming platforms), I cannot help but think of the Gran Turismo series of games. Our family has always favored the Playstation over the XBox One, and we had many a great race in all of the Gran Turismo releases. It became a thing to wait for the next release. The visuals say it all..

Warframe New Game Mode

DIGITAL EXTREMES DOUBLES DOWN

LONDON, ONTARIO

April 18, 2018 – Independent Canadian developer and publisher Digital Extremes is debuting the first Warframe of 2018, Khora, in tandem with Sanctuary Onslaught, a completely new team-based, survival-style game mode in the Beasts of the Sanctuary update this week for the PC version of Warframe®. Beasts of the Sanctuary arriving on Xbox One and PlayStation 4 this May.

Khora is a versatile dynamo of offensive and defensive power with a unique arsenal of attacks. The stylistically armor-clad Khora wields a snake-like metallic whip that strikes from a distance and commands a metallic Kavat (cat pet) that quickly engulfs enemies in a whole lot of pain. The new Sanctuary Onslaught mode, where Khora can be found, enables solo players, or a squad of up to four, to quickly dash through timed portals while blasting waves of increasingly powerful enemies. Both Khora and Sanctuary Onslaught together offer fresh new ways for Tenno to harness Warframe’s cooperative chaos, and both are free with the Beasts of the Sanctuary.

The 35th Warframe, Khora offers both deadly offensive attacks and team-oriented defensive tactics featuring four distinguished Abilities:

  • Whipclaw: Send enemies reeling with a deafening whipcrack.
  • Ensnare: Bind a hapless target in living metal, entangling others who stray too close. Disperse the trap with a crack of the whip.
  • Venari: Summon a ferocious, gleaming Kavat. Use again to cycle between Attack, Protect, and Heal postures.
  • Strangledome: Weave a dome of living chain that ensnares and strangles any enemy within, and any foolish enough to approach.

New weapons and items available for Khora include the Dartgun, Quill Spear, Tenno Revolver Rifle, Zaw Parts, Quill Syandana, and Quill Alt Helmet.

Having debuted during the bi-monthly DevStreams this March, Sanctuary Onslaught is ready for action! This new cooperative and competitive mode challenges players to work together to survive endless waves of Warframe enemies standing in their way of escaping through the next portal. Players must quickly slay enemies en masse while proceeding through uniquely crafted environments to random portals to escape – and then do it all again, all against the clock!

Join us in-person on Saturday, July 7, 2018 for the third annual TennoCon! Meet fans from across the world in London, Ontario, Canada, for the biggest, best Warframe event of the year. Tickets are nearly sold out but are still available at Warframe.com/tennocon. For those unable to attend, viewers can tune into twitch.tv/warframe to watch one of the biggest reveals of the year coming to Warframe during TennoLive starting at 3 pm PST/ 6 pm EST on Saturday, July 7.

A portion of the proceeds from TennoCon go to this year’s community partner, Canada Learning Code, which sees teaching digital skills to women, girls, people with disabilities, indigenous youth, and newcomers as key to improving society through empowerment, development and success.

Twelve individual events for both gaming enthusiasts and representatives of the games industry are gathered under the umbrella brand which combines different aspects, subjects and target groups of the sector.

gamesweekberlin

Berlin as the city with the highest concentration of games companies in Germany is the ideal venue for #gamesweekberlin. An indication of the popularity of games in Germany is shown by the most recent figures from game, the association of the German games industry. In 2017, the German games market posted growth of 15% to more than 3.3 billion Euros turnover and thus surpassed the 3 billion Euros mark for the first time.

#gamesweekberlin is SEVEN DAYS PACKED WITH EVENTS DEDICATED TO GAMING, BUSINESS AND DEVELOPMENT.

At a press conference on 16 April, 2018, the organisers and partners of #gamesweekberlin introduced the extensive and wide-ranging programme of the twelve events, presented the latest figures for the sector, and also launched the new English-language platform „Games Capital Berlin“ (www.gamescapitalberlin ) which serves as an important information tool for the German and international games industry to provide information about Berlin in its role as a games hub.

eSports and More

Michael Müller, Governing Mayor of Berlin: “I hope the participants of the #gamesweekberlin will have exciting events and a good time in Berlin. The field of games is part of our city’s great innovative potential and has significantly gained in importance in recent years. This has also resulted in Berlin developing, among other things, into an important hub for eSports. But the games industry is not just about entertainment. It is also an important economic factor: according to a study commissioned by the Senate, Berlin is currently home to 140 companies in the games sector with more than 2,000 employees and 250 million Euros turnover. Berlin offers good conditions for games companies.“

Michael Liebe, CEO Booster Space & Head of #gamesweekberlin: „Ever since #gamesweekberlin was founded, we have been pursuing the goal of connecting business, technology and culture through the umbrella brand. As the organiser, we would like to see the various players meeting one another during this week and forging new contacts. The participants of the individual events may have different goals and backgrounds, but the subject of games provides a common ground for creating networks and enabling partnerships to grow.
