Grand Theft Auto Online: Halloween Surprise

Hi all,

From now through November 16th in GTA Online, special Halloween treats will be available to the residents of Los Santos and Blaine County on PS4, Xbox One and PC. And no tricks here – once acquired these special items will remain in players’ inventory, even after November 16th.

  

2 NEW VEHICLES: LURCHER HEARSE AND FRANKEN STANGE

Navigating the freeways of Los Santos just got more terrifying with the addition of these two ghastly new vehicles. Players can show their dark side while getting around in the Lurcher Hearse and the Franken Stange – both available for a limited time only, along with 20 ghoulish new Bobbleheads that can be added to the dashboard of any customizable Lowrider.

NEW MASKS & FACE PAINTS

Strike fear into opponents by donning one of the horrific new masks now available in the Monsters section of Vespucci Movie Masks. Crews tackling a Heist between now and November 16 will see a new Halloween mask category as the default option on all Heists. 30 Spooky new styles of Face Paint are also available to help players get into the spirit of the season.

SLASHER ADVERSARY MODE

Enjoy thrills and suspense with the lights out in this tense new Adversary Mode for up to 8 players. Run, hide, and fight to survive in the darkness as the player designated as the Slasher stalks his prey with a Shotgun. Players can use the new Flashlight to navigate if they dare, but risk revealing their position and quickly becoming prey. Survive for 3 minutes and get the chance to return the favor with a Shotgun of your own.

Story & missions dev diary available now

New video also looks at performance capture bringing characters to life

The fourth – and penultimate - entry in the JUST CAUSE 3 Dev Diary series takes a look at the story and missions driving JUST CAUSE 3’ s explosive action.

Watch the ‘Episode 4 – Story & Missions’ dev diary here 

In JUST CAUSE 3, Rico Rodriguez returns to his homeland – the Mediterranean island of Medici. Far from the paradise it might appear on the surface, Medici is ruled by the dictator General Di Ravello, who uses the island’s resources to further his plans of world domination. Thankfully, Rico is no stranger to removing tyrannous dictators from power, and takes charge of the rebellion.

 “Our missions are an excuse for you to try cool things,” explains Francesco Antolini, Principal Designer at Avalanche Studios. “…we've kept the same philosophy from the rest of the game which leaves the player free to experiment and reach their goals however they prefer.”

As well as highlighting the story and events leading up to the start of the game, the video takes a look at characters and the technologies behind them. In the video, there’s a fantastic insight into performance capture and the camera tech Avalanche Studios has used in bringing JUST CAUSE 3’s cast to life.   
JUST CAUSE 3, developed by Avalanche Studios and published by Square Enix, is due for release on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and high-end PCs December 1^st, 2015.

            COMMUNITY-CREATED MAP NOW AVAILABLE FOR BATTLEFIELD 4

Have you seen what the developers at DICE LA and the Battlefield 4™ community have been up to? For the past six months, they have been creating a new map called Operation Outbreak that is coming to Battlefield 4 today as a free* digital download onOrigin™ for PC, PlayStation®4, PlayStation®3, Xbox One and Xbox 360, to all Battlefield 4 players.

Battlefield 4 players participated in every step of the map creation process from the core concept such as theme and setting, to selecting the points of interest, and naming the map. Players provided feedback and suggestions on forums, and even voted in polls to shape the map’s outcome. Through the Battlefield 4 Community Test Environment, they also were able to try out the new map in various iterations from early scale tests to its final form. The result is a dense infantry-focused jungle map.

Here are some of the highlights from the community-voted polls:

Favoured setting
1.       Jungle
2.       Desert
3.       Mountain

Top-voted points of interest
1.       Waterfall
2.       Ancient Ruins
3.       Ghost Town

Preferred names
1.       Operation Outbreak
2.       Harau Falls
3.       Ruins of Harau
“Involving the players and letting them participate in the creation of a map from the ground up is something we’ve never done before. Seeing our player’s passion and dedication has been a great inspiration for us,” said David Sirland, Producer of Battlefield 4. “When working with a very active community, releasing several updates to the map per week, we realised how powerful such a tight feedback loop can be.”

Operation Outbreak will be included as part of Battlefield 4 Community Operations DLC out today. Check out the Battlefield 4 Community Operations gameplay trailer
