GS News Top 5 - Hatred Gets Adults Only Rating; Destiny Levelling Hack!

I would use the Microsoft Hololens. This could be a great new way to play games, especially ones with a top-down perspective. Imagine playing Diablo 3 in a dark basement or maybe even outdoors at night for a more immersive experience. Horror games might become painfully scary with this or VR technology. Seeing creepy things coming out from behind the real trees in your environment could be terrifying :0 

Of course it may be incredible for learning experiences and work environments, but that isn't quite as fun :P

All Battlefield Hardline Maps and Modes Revealed

Developer Visceral Games has updated the Battlefield Hardline website with the full list of all multiplayer maps and modes for the upcoming shooter, which launches for consoles and PC in March.

The nine maps and seven modes are listed below (with descriptions courtesy of Visceral) , while you can also see images of all the multiplayer environments in the galleries below.

Battlefield Hardline launches March 17 for Xbox 360, Xbox One, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, and PC. An open beta for all platforms is scheduled to begin soon.

Battlefield Hardline Maps:

• The Block -- "What looks like a liquor store and bail bonds office, is actually a front. This is home to a notorious criminal ring. The police know better than to enter The Block without backup."
• Dust Bowl -- "The small desert town of Joad is off the beaten path and well-known for meth trafficking problems. The cops have had enough and are on the scene to shut it all down."
• Hollywood Heights -- "A mansion high in the Hollywood Hills looks ripe for a little crime. The criminals have started a wildfire in the nearby hills to distract the police. Do you think that'll work?"
• Growhouse -- "The cops located an illegal underground marijuana grow operation. The cops are raiding the place, but the criminals aren't going down without a fight. After all, this is precious cargo for them."
• Derailed -- "The industrial side of Los Angeles is home to many shady dealings. A criminal ring has set up shop in the warehouses and scrapyards, where they're trying to make that money from illegal doings."
• Riptide -- "A drug smuggler's haven, this high-tech and expensive island crib is being ransacked by the police. A chain of small islands is connected by bridges and waterways, providing multiple access to it."
• Everglades -- "Florida is not all sand and beaches. Deep in the heart of the Everglades, a fracking site has turned into a battle playground as the cops and criminals wage war against each other."
• Downtown -- "The heart of downtown Los Angeles is a jumping environment--the streets, the buildings, the cars--are all open to criminal deeds. The police have shut down the city center, and a heated confrontation is about to break out."
• Bank Job -- "Money is the root of all evil. The criminals are plotting a ruthless assault on a high-security bank vault. But, they messed up and triggered a silent alarm and the police are jamming to the scene of the crime."

Battlefield Hardline Modes:

• Conquest -- "A Battlefield staple, Conquest is based on the idea of controlling a base. Capture a base by standing near a flag on foot, in a vehicle or in the skies--if your team owns more flags than the enemy you'll slowly reduce their tickets, which are their ability to respawn. The first team to run out of tickets loses."
• Team Deathmatch -- "Team Deathmatch is infantry only and has the easiest objective to understand: shoot the enemy team more than they shoot you."
• Heist -- "Heist is all about pulling off that big job or that perfect score. The criminals are trying to infiltrate a cash-filled vault, and the cops must regulate them. Once the criminals break in, they have to nab two bags of cash and jam out with them back to each of the two base points."
• Blood Money -- "A huge pile of loot has been intercepted in transit. The criminals are fighting to steal the money, while the cops are trying to secure it as evidence. Each team is trying to secure the money in their team's vault--but it's not safe there. Raid the enemy team's vault to help your team score the most money."
• Hotwire -- "The criminals are trying to steal a list of marked cars while the cops are trying to repossess them. Use your driving skills to catch up with the enemy, and bring a friend riding shotgun to take them down."
• Rescue -- "Rescue is one of two competitive modes. This is a cop-centric mode that lets you step into the boots of a SWAT operative tasked with saving innocent lives from the hands of criminals. Lead your team carefully into dangerous environments and get the hostages back to safety. Be careful though, because there are no second chances in this mode."
• Crosshair -- "This is the second competitive mode. In Crosshair, a former criminal turned state's witness is on the run from his former crew. The criminals are trying to erase the VIP's face from the world, while the cops are trying to get him out safely. Once again, there are no second chances – one death and you are out for the match."

Sony Begins Free Games Compensation Over 2011 PSN Hack

Following the announcement of a $15 million settlement last year, Sony on Friday began reaching out to United States users with details about how they can claim compensation over the 2011 PlayStation Network attack that compromised more than 70 million accounts.

Anyone who had a PlayStation Network, Qriocity, or Sony Online Entertainment account before May 15, 2011 can request documents to file a settlement claim via PSNSOESettlement.com.

Individual compensation will vary depending in part on what type of account(s) you had at the time. Some of the options, per Sony's official descriptions, include:

• Payment equal to paid wallet balances (if $2 or more) in PSN or SOE accounts that have been inactive since the intrusions.
• One or more of the following: a free PS3 or PSP game, three free PS3 themes, or a free three-month subscription to PlayStation Plus (once valid claims exceed $10 million, class members will still be eligible for one free month of PlayStation Plus).
• A free month of Music Unlimited for Qriocity account holders who did not have a PSN account.
• $4.50 in SOE Station Cash (amounts will be reduced proportionally if valid claims exceed $4 million).

In addition, Sony said it will reimburse users with out-of-pocket charges who suffered legitimate identity theft related to the network intrusion. Users can receive up to $2,500, though they'll need to provide documentation that the theft was caused by the network hack.

People who don't want to file claim forms over the internet can request the forms from Sony's Claims Administrator by writing to "PSN-SOE Settlement, PO Box 1947, Faribault, MN 55021" or by calling 1-877-552-1284.

A court assigned to the case will hold a Fairness Hearing on May 1, 2015 to confirm the settlement, and all claim submissions must be filed either online or in the mail by August 31, 2015.

About the settlement terms in general, Sony writes: "The Sony Entities deny any claims of wrongdoing in this case, and the settlement does not mean that the Sony Entities violated any laws or did anything wrong."

For a detailed breakdown of the infamous 2011 attack, which brought the online service down for close to a month and led to a US Congressional Hearing, check out GameSpot's previous coverage.

Dying Light Zombie Mode Goes Free, But Big Delay for UK Release

Developer Techland has announced that Dying Light's "Be the Zombie" mode, announced in August 2014 as a preorder bonus, will now be available to everyone for free on Xbox One and PlayStation 4.

In the Be the Zombie mode, players will stalk others as a "night hunter," a zombie mutation described as a "lethal predator" with skills like super speed, a grapple tool, and special attacks.

The night hunter also has its own special skill tree, which players can advance through by completing rounds as the zombie creature.

Techland also today confirmed details about Dying Light's global launch dates. While the digital and boxed copies of the game remain on schedule to launch January 27 in North and South America, the release dates for Europe, the Middle East, Asia, and Australia have slipped back.

Digital versions of the game will launch January 28 in those regions, but physical copies have been delayed by a month, to February 27. Techland also confirmed that all physical preordered versions of Dying Light will come with two extra DLC packs, Cuisine & Cargo and Ultimate Survivor Bundle, for free.

Techland also provided a statement regarding the pushback for select markets.

"Dear gamers,

As you already know, today we detailed our launch timing for Dying Light. Although the changes affect only the release of boxed copies in certain territories, we want to show all of you our appreciation for your continued support. Thus, we're really happy to announce that 'Be the Zombie' will be available for free to everyone, on all platforms, in all territories.

We'll also be giving away extra weapon dockets to everyone who pre-ordered Dying Light and signed up at Dockets.DyingLightGame.com.

We want to thank you for your patience and support in this matter and can't wait for you to enjoy playing Dying Light and invading other players' game in the 'Be the Zombie' mode.

- Dying Light Team"

League of Legends Devs Creating Europe-wide Network

League of Legends developer Riot Games is working with Internet service providers across Europe as part of its grand ambition to build its own dedicated network for the continent.

Riot Games believes a bespoke network will, among other benefits, allow for improved Internet connection speeds and stability.

The developer, which has witnessed its flagship game accumulating 67 million players every month, recently opened a datacenter in Amsterdam, which is connected to a similar facility in Frankfurt. According to Polygon, the company has direct connections to more than 500 ISPs throughout Europe.

"Our goal is to extend Riot's presence in regions affected by limitations in order to improve the player experience and minimize connection difficulties," Riot said in a blog post.

"Instead of middleman backbone providers getting ISP traffic to us, we will be building direct connections to the ISPs that LoL players use, and then announce to these ISPs: feel free to use Riot's backbone for your customers playing LoL. Since our backbone is solely dedicated to League traffic, this should improve the experience for a vast majority of player traffic as it leaves an ISP on its way to Riot."

Riot says it is already working "as fast as possible" to realize its ambition to build its own continental networks across North America and Europe.

On Thursday, Riot announced that the 2015 League if Legends Championships will take place across Europe.

New NASCAR Game Underway for PS4, Xbox One, and PC

NASCAR 2014 was Eutechnyx's final full release in the series

A NASCAR game for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC is in development at a newly announced studio, DMi Games.

As of January 1, the North Carolina-based DMi Games had acquired the license to develop and publish games in the series from previous custodian Eutechnyx. The change in ownership was said to be complex due to the complexity of the licence agreements.

DMi Games president Ed Martin explains: "Just to give you some context, a contemporary NASCAR video game has more than 1,000 licensed and approved properties in it. That's a lot of stakeholders and people to get organized!"

Martin, who has been working on NASCAR games since the early '90s, announced the new deal in an open letter to fans.

"We are already hard at work on several new games including an all-new NASCAR racing sim created by DMi for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC that we expect to release in 2016," he explained.

Firaxis Reveals New Interstellar Strategy Game, Sid Meier's Starships

The next game from the mind of veteran Civilization designer Sid Meier has been revealed. 2K and Firaxis Games have announced Sid Meier's Starships, an interstellar strategy game.

Scheduled to arrive in early 2015, the turn-based game is coming to PC, Mac, and iPad. Pricing was not announced, nor were any details about a possible Android version.

In the game, you'll control a fleet of starships as you journey through the galaxy to complete missions, protect planets and their inhabitants, and build a planetary federation.

As you trek through the stars, you'll be challenged to expand your federation's influence and reach. You'll also amass futuristic technology and take part in turn-based combat using a deep roster of customizable ships, some of which you can see in the image gallery above.

2K adds that the missions you'll take on have their own unique maps, featuring "dynamically generated tactical combat" that should boost the game's replayability.

"When designing Starships, I was intrigued by the idea of exploring the next chapter in the story of Civilization: Beyond Earth," Meier said. "What happens after we colonize our new home and eventually build starships to take to the stars? What has become of our long-lost brothers and sisters from the planet Earth?"

"My goal was to create an experience that focuses on starship design and combat within a universe filled with interstellar adventure, diplomacy, and exploration."

2K also teases that Beyond Earth and Starships will feature cross-connectivity for people who own both games. The developer isn't talking specifics, but says that this integration will "enhance and expand upon both game experiences."

Starships was developed by Meier and a small team at Firaxis. Check back later this week for an in-depth interview with Meier about his new development team, and lots more.
