GTA V Next Gen: Secrets Revealed (Murder Mystery)

GTA V Next Gen

 

So GTA V is the most dominating game of 2014 and has won multiple awards for having the greatest amount of purchases within 24 hours of its release and earning the most profit any video game has ever got. If you think that is impressive then you might be shocked to know that these were all achieved with the first Gen of the game and now for all the enjoyment for the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 fans, they have released the "Next Gen" of GTA V.

 

Okay, I know Next Gen isn't a new thing however, the things gamers are discovering in the Next Gen version of the game are new! For those who do not know, the first version of GTA V was released for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 but they released the Next Gen so that players who had a PS4 or Xbox One could transfer all their data from the first Gen to the Next Gen which offered improved graphics, exclusive first person mode and much more. (As shown in the comparison above.)

 

So in the Next Gen, gamers have discovered that there is a new murder mystery. (NOT to be confused with the Infinity Killer) There is a completely new mystery that Rockstar have given players to solve.

 

(Warning! Before you read anymore, there are spoilers! You have been warned!)

 





So in the first gen of the game you could find this boarded-up mine entrance that couldn't be broken into no matter what you did, which included shooting, punching and blowing the wood up. It would not budge...until the Next Gen came along.





 

This is what the tunnel looks like and here is the location. When you enter the tunnel you get a very ghostly feeling or the sense of something that is not right. To many players shock and horror, they would soon find a body laying down on the floor and seeming to have been there a very long time. The body is dressed in a suit, like the ones warn in the game L.A. Noire. (Another Rockstar Game) Most people at first thought this was an Easter egg left by the developers to allow them to send a slight nod to their successful game L.A. Noire. But this was soon put to rest...

 



 This is the body that is found in the tunnel. So far this is the only relevant thing in the tunnel and has no other real purpose than to hide the body. As far as the gamers have found anyway.

 

So if you want to complete this murder mystery than you can follow these steps.

 

1. You have to do the mission as Michael and will not work if you find the clues as Trevor or Franklin.
2. First go to The Gentry Manor Hotel and find the note on the wall that reads "Old Fred Acts Nice, But It Ain't So!" wait till you see the auto save sign appears and then you can leave.
3. The second message is at the City Hall Parking Lot and reads "Fred Makes Cartoons For Kids, Funny Thing Considering What He Did." again, wait for the auto save again and then leave.
4. The third message is at The Oriental Theatre and reads "Ain't No Mystery. They Drowned Her Because Of What She Knew!"
5. The Final Message is at the Galileo Observatory and reads "David Richards Knows"
6. Once you have found these messages you can find the drowned body of a woman in the deep water area of Fort Zancudo and you must have a submarine or scuba gear to reach her.
7. From there you can then go to Solomon Richard's office to find the Confession. Simply go to his office after 9PM and read the paper on his desk.
8. Once this note is read, you are then lead to Isaac's body in the tunnel.    
9. Finally, when you return to Isaac's body then you have then solved the mystery and for your efforts you get new filter which gives the game a 1930's look. This is activated by calling Isaac off your iFruit Phone and is available for all three characters in the main story.  

And there you have it, this is just one of the many mysteries that are likely to turn up in the Next Gen version of the game. According to a few sources the Mount Chiliad Mystery still remains unsolved and is still baffling even the greatest gamer minds. Maybe Rockstar dropped some hints in the places that gamers overlooked in the first gen of the game and has given a few helpful tips as to how to solve the mystery.

 

Hope you enjoyed and please leave a comment below to suggest anything or let me know how I'm doing,

 

Happy Gaming! 

 

 

 

    

Mortal Kombat X

Mortal Kombat X

 

See the full trailer at this link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bm8DOcm2RBA

 

So as you can see from the trailer Mortal Kombat X looks amazing and each character, new and old, have these new types of move combos which allow a faster and deadlier gameplay.

 

(Warning! There will be some Spoilers! You have been warned!)

 

So in the trailer you just watched, you saw a preview of the new story mode and some of the moves the characters can do. The main parts of the story mode takes place 25 years after the events of Mortal Kombat 9 and has a few flashbacks that all occur 5 years before. You follow Jax's daughter, Jacqueline Briggs, Johnny Cage and Sonya Blade's daughter, Cassie Cage, descendent of Kung Lao, Kung Jin and Takashi Takeda, son of Kenshi.  

They are a team of highly trained fighters who are, and many others, charged with protecting Earth Realm and the way they had to do this is through protecting and ancient amulet from the grasp of Lord Shinnok who plans to destroy Earth Realm.

 

Luckily, Raiden, Johnny, Sonya and Kenshi were able to trap Shinnok in the amulet and managed to keep him trapped for 20 years until Quan Chi plotted to release him and so causes a massive rift between the realms. There is a lot of twist and turns that will leave your jaw on the floor.

 

The fatalities have all been changed and improved for brand new moves and more gory finishers and they give a whole new meaning to the term "Finish Her!" and "Finish Him!".

          

For example, this is the result of a fatality done by the dynamic duo, Ferra/Torr, a pair of brand new fighters who are fun to play and explore with and have quite humorous attack moves. Such as Torr will throw Ferra at their enemy to deliver damage. (Bare in mind, Ferra is a little girl)

 

So there you have it! The New Mortal Kombat at its finest. Everything has been improved from a longer story mode to a more realistic look to the game. You will be telling your friends to "Get Over Here!" when you want them to play this eye popping and jaw dropping experience!

 

Hope you enjoyed and see you next time,

 

Happy Gaming Everyone!   

 

 

 

PlayStation 4 April Fools!

April Fools from PlayStation 4!

 

Okay, It was April Fools the other day and I've got to say I'm not usually a gullible person but my love for games and consoles did leave me astray on the 1st. This is my story of the hilarious trick that PlayStation played on me and possibly a good few hundred others! :)

 

Here is the actual video I fell for: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9bPUaLpNcMY

 

Right, once you watched that I'm sure you must have said "What an idiot! Can't believe she fell for that!" but if I'm honest, I can't believe I fell for it either!

 

So what happened was millions of people who have got an account synced with PlayStation 4 received an email which explained the launch of their new product and gave you a link to the video. This link cleverly didn't let you see the title which would have shown you the fact that the video title had 'April Fools' in it.

 

So in the video it shows you this 'amazing' new technology that they were working on which you allow you to take swimming gameplay to actual swimming pools or areas which water but they do state that you can use it outside the swimming pools.

 

After my realisation I laughed so hard at myself and sent a kudos to PlayStation for reminding all of their fans and followers that they, as a multi-million pound company, also have a very good sense of humour which can bring a smile to everyone's faces. :)

Life Is Strange: Episode 2

Life Is Strange Episode 2: Out Of Time

 

If you would like to see a trailer, Here is the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bMxetvCzTcQ

 

I have been so excited for this episode of Life Is Strange. The trailer made me want to see it even more! So in this episode, Chloe and Max's friendship definitely blossoms in this episode and the gameplay and exploration of Max's powers deepens. 

 

(Spoilers! for those who haven't played the first or second episode, you have been warned)

 

So at the end of the first episode, Max opens up to Chloe and tells her about her new found powers and the terrible tornado which destroys their town and how this tornado is meant to arrive within days. Upon knowing this information, Chloe would like some proof (As any person would) of Max's abilities.

 

Max starts by telling Chloe what she has in her pockets. Of course, she purposely fails to start with so Chloe would then empty her pockets so Max could get a good look. Max then rewinds and tells Chloe what she has in her pockets, down to the tiny details. For example, what the key ring was on her keys and how many cigarettes she had in her packet. As predicted, Chloe is blown away but isn't fully convinced. For Max's next trick, she would predict the future in the next coming moments in the diner.

 

She, again, watches all the events happen and once they have, she then rewinds and tells Chloe what was going to happen. She predicts that a mug will break, an officer would get an emergency call and his partner would drive off without him, a small fight would break out but Chloe's mum broke it up and then finally, a cockroach would craw on the jukebox and cause it to break.

 

Chloe is flabbergasted, and then "Pledges allegiance to Max and all the powers she holds". This is just one of the main events that is going on. But, unfortunately, Kate is going through a particularly rough patch as the abuse she is getting from the viral video begins to pile on top of her and Max can't help but want to live up to the 'superhero' she has become. Max tries really hard to keep Kate happy and is also trying to gather evidence against Nathan Prescott who Kate claimed drugged her the night the viral video was filmed.

 

Chloe wants to hang out and bond with Max.  They head to 'Chloe's special place' and Chloe decides that she wants to shoot her gun at some bottles for some teen fun. They chill and fire a few rounds with Max's powers to help Chloe guide the shots she takes. This over use of Max's powers leads her to collapse. They discovered that Max's powers do have a limit and she does inflict damage on herself if she over uses her powers.

 

She quickly recovers and wakes up laying down on Chloe's lap, almost cradling her. This does show that Chloe's sensitive side is coming out a lot more around Max. Once a few more shots are fired, a stranger to Max comes out of the forest. Chloe knows him as Frank. He speaks about how Chloe owes him money. Things get a lot more dangerous when Chloe notices that Frank is wearing Rachel's bracelet and demands that he explains how he got it. Frank then pulls out a knife to threaten Chloe. Max then gathers her courage and points the gun at Frank and tells him to back off.

 

There are then two choices to make one is to shoot Frank but there are no bullets in the gun from the previous sessions. Frank gets angry at the fact Max tried to shoot him and states "I won't forget you girly..." Frank leaves and Chloe hugs Max, thanking her for standing up for her. If you choose not to shoot Frank. Then Frank makes his way over mocking Max and then takes the gun from her. He then states "I will keep the gun as interest while I wait for my money, Okay Chloe?" Frank leaves and Chloe gets annoyed at Max for "Basically, handing Frank her gun!"

 

With a finishing line from Chloe she states (For either choice you make) "Don't worry about it Max, Let's split, my special place don't feel too special anymore..." The best friends leave and they walk along the tracks talking and chatting. Chloe (Depending on your choice) states how she liked having the gun or she likes having the gun. Max holds Chloe's hand and replies with "Chloe, you have me to protect you now." This was adorable and a very cute moment between old friends that are becoming best friends once again.

 

 

This is when things take another turn for the worst. Chloe gets her foot stuck on the train tracks and the train was coming fast. Max uses her powers to save Chloe's life just in time. Chloe throws herself at Max and says "You saved my life again Max! We have hella bonded for life over this!" This was an incredible bonding moment between Chloe and Max.

 

As time goes on we get to the massive situation involving Kate. She has had enough. The bullying from Victoria and Nathan and the humiliation from the viral video had pushed her over her limit. Max returns to the school exhausted from the time travel usage and is then alerted to a situation happening at the girls dorm and everyone was gathering to check it out. To Max's horror she arrives just in time to see Kate leap off the top of the girls dorm to her death. Max tries to be "An Everyday Hero." She tries to rewind time but each time she tries to rewind she can only go back to just before Kate jumps which doesn't give her enough time to reach Kate.

 

She gathers her last bit of strength to pause time so she could make it to the roof. She reaches the top, nose bleeding and on the verge of passing out just to call out to Kate. She turns around teary eyed and barely holding on. You can save Kate but she can also commit suicide. From what you did in the past, it can either hinder or help your situation. (They mean it when they say "This event will have consequences") They then finish the episode with the investigation as to why Kate is driven to suicide and then a strange and unexpected eclipse and a cuddle from Warren. (Possible romance that might blossom between the two nerds)

 

Review

 

This episode blew me away and, again, left me wanting more! I cannot wait for the third episode which there was a taster for at the end of episode 2 which also looked extremely amazing and interesting.

 

I really hope each episode gets better and better which is all I can expect from what has already been shown. It is an amazing game and is unique in it's own way, which keeps everyone wanting more.

 

If you have a chance to play it then I highly recommend it and it definitely is a must buy or must watch depending on how you are going through the series.

 

Thanks for reading my review and hope you enjoyed it.

 

Happy Gaming!            

The Order 1886

The Order 1886

If you would like to see a trailer for 'The Order 1886' than click on this link here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wdZOSD1eT6k

So once you view the trailer and see the gameplay, you will know what I mean when I say "Wow!" As you might have guessed, The order is set in 1886 and you will follow the main protagonist, Sir Galahad, Who is a trusted and valued member of 'The Order'. They are in charge of protecting the people from 'The Half-Breeds'.

These are creatures that have evolved and attack the people. Pretty soon there is uproar when the Rebels try to work with the Half-Breeds to destroy 'The Order' and eventually make the world better. It is your Job as gamers, to help defend 'The Order' and discover the hidden truths behind closed doors...

So far the game shows amazing promise and have delivered on a few by showing the life-like animation and extremely impressive graphics. They also give the gamers a new way to kick-ass by supplying awesome weapons at their disposal to reek havoc on those who stand in their way. Some of the weapons are inspired by that of ideas presented by great minds of those times such as Tesla.

This game is a positive must-play, and has all the thrills and spills that one might expect from a game like this. However, some people might be disappointed due to the fact that it is a PlayStation 4 exclusive (So, sorry to all those Xbox One gamers out there :/)

Hope you all give this game a chance and Happy Gaming!      

The Sims 4

The Sims 4

 

If you would like to see the trailer for The Sims 4, Here is a link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z00mK3Pxc8w



 

 

So ever since I was little, I have always been around the Sims games. I have played all of them and have always been highly entertained every time.

 

But as of 2014, Sims 4 is the crowning jewel of EA Games Sims games.

 

 

As you can see from this picture, EA has come a long way since the first Sims game. This means improved graphics, gameplay mechanics, activities and extras for you as gamers to discover, explore and enjoy.   

 

So for those who don't know about Sims...

 

Sims is a game where you take control of a Sims life that you have created or one you have chosen. You guide your Sim through life and can take them from the cradle to the grave. You can help them follow their dreams and achieve their goals. You can marry them, have children, become rich or be poor.

 

Sims is a game where you have complete control over the Sims and what they do. This is a fun experience and there are so many routes that you can take your Sims down and you can have great fun discovering the different ways you can get the Sim to live their life.

 

In the new game, Sims 4, there are more career paths and more creative ways that Sims can communicate with one another. For example, in previous games Sims could only communicate when doing certain actions such as watching TV together or eating food together. But in the Sims 4 communication can take place anywhere at anytime for example, one Sim could be working out while the other is doing homework and they can both have communication during this. 

 

There are many more new features added to Sims 4 and if I were to list them off in this Blog, then I would be here all day.

 

I would rate the Sims 4 a 7/10 due to the fact that if you want the best type of graphics and performance then you need to have a computer that can handle the FPS (Frames Per Second) that Sims 4 gives off. This mainly means a fairly good graphics card. Other than that, Sims 4 is an amazing game that is fun and can keep you glued onto your computer for hours on end (Trust me, I know...)

 

If you get a chance to give Sims 4 a go, don't hesitate because it is a unique experience and it is worth the play.

 

Hope you enjoyed this blog on Sims 4, If you have any suggestions on how I am going or of you would like one of your favourite games reviewed, don't be afraid to message me or comment. I am completely open minded to suggestions and even questions.

 

Happy Gaming Everyone! :)     



Abe's Odyssey: New 'n' Tasty

Abe: New 'n' Tasty

 

 

If you would like to see the trailer of 'Oddworld: Abe's Odyssey New 'n' Tasty!' Here is a link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NRphzwPGgaY

 

So this month on PS4, this was one of the games they released as their exclusive free downloads. So I took it upon myself to download one of the main games of my childhood and I decided to give it a go.

 

For those who don't know, Abe has been around a lot longer than you think...

 

 

The first Abe game came out in 1997 on the PS1 and took the puzzle game genre by storm. Their challenging levels and brain busting puzzles sparked the attention of gamers all over. The main character, Abe, caught the hearts of many people with his charming ignorance and adorable personality and heroism.

 

So the story is about Abe who is working as the employee of the month in Rupture Farm, which is a meat processing factory, and Abe's bad ass boss, Molluck the Glukkon, is in a tight spot when the two species that they were using for meat began to run low. But Molluck has a plan. To Abe's horror, Molluck's plan is to start packaging and processing the Mudokons (Abe's species).

 

So it is then up to you as a gamer to guide Abe through harsh challenges and creative puzzles to save all the 299 Mudokons and foil Molluck's plan!

 

So now you are up to date. Here is what I wanted to talk about...

 

 

 

They remade the entire game and have made it available for Xbox One and PS4!

 

There is so much I can say about this game, the story is really good, gameplay is unique for a platform game and it has proven itself to have come such a long way from 1997 to 2014-2015.

 

The gameplay is guaranteed to keep you on the edge of your seat with every roll, jump, run and duck you do. The best way I can describe this game is when you are sitting there and all of a sudden you go "Quickly! Run! Run! Ahhh!" followed by the sigh of relief you give when you reach a safe place.

 

I would rate this game a 7/10 due to some of the graphics not always being up to scratch however, the progress they have made from the 1997 format to the 2015 format is staggeringly amazing!

 

Here is an example:

 

1997 Abe

 

 



  2014 Abe

 

 

I know! Like I said, the changes are staggering and this is living proof that any game from the past as the opportunity to make a massive comeback on the newest of consoles. They went from 2D to 3D and still had time to make the game look impressive!

 

Right, that's all I wanted to say, I hope you enjoyed and consider giving this game a go and if you have played the older one than take a trip down memory lane and relive the beauty and fun game that is Abe's Odyssey: New 'n' Tasty :)
