Dragon Ball FighterZ update 1.04 is now available to download. It has a bunch of new changes to Bandai Namco’s popular fighting game. Big changes include adding Party Match, expanding the replay channel function, and more.
Here are the (rather sparse) Dragon Ball FighterZ update 1.04 patch notes:
- Added Party Match
- Expanded Replay Channel function
- Added Followed Player Channel
- Added Search Channel
- Updated replay data version
- Replays saved from older versions can no longer be played
- Improved Arcade Mode
- Players can now choose where to go next at the Results screen after completing a course
- Added “Return to Character Selection”
- Added “Return to Course Selection” to the mid-battle Options menu
- Added a final confirmation when choosing “Return to Character Selection”
- Controller vibration function added to indicate when an opponent is found for Arena Matches, Ranked Matches, and Casual Matches
- Improved game performance and stability
For even more on the 2D fighting game, check out our Dragon Ball FighterZ review. Here’s a snippet of what our reviewer had to say:
FighterZ also includes a simplistic Arcade Mode that sees you doing battle against increasingly difficult teams of AI. Your results effect the path you take on the mode’s grid, moving to higher or lower difficulty routes after each match. As fun as the mode is, my only issue concerns the consistency of the challenge. I would almost defeat an opponent in one instance to then be pummeled by them in the ensuing rematch and the same goes for the somewhat inconsistent difficulty spikes between rounds. Throughout all the game modes, you’ll be earning Zeni which can be used to purchase Z Capsule packs that include cosmetic items like additional lobby characters and title cards.
If you’re looking for a fighter, there is simply nothing better on the market than Dragon Ball FighterZ in terms of what it offers as a 2D, high action brawler. If you don’t see yourself sinking a lot of time into the game, it still might be worth it down the line just to appreciate the level of detail and care that the developers at Arc System Works have so painstakingly put into this project. Regardless, Dragon Ball FighterZ is a worthy addition to the anime’s long-running line of fighter adaptations.
Dragon Ball FighterZ update 1.04 is available now.

Activision Blizzard’s 2017 investor report was released today, and the company isn’t ready to settle for just being one of the biggest video game publishers. The company announced that they’re looking to expand their franchises outside of games. There are several different avenues that Activision outline as potential outside opportunities: esporst, film, television, and consumer product. That means you can expect to see the company continue to diversify themselves, and use their successful franchises in different ways. It also means more projects like their recently launched Overwatch League, which has already captured a lot of esports attention for the company.
Here’s the relevant section from Activision’s 2017 investor report:
Our fans spend significant time investing in our franchises through purchases of our game content, whether through purchases of full games or downloadable content or via microtransactions. Given the passion our players have for our franchises, we believe there are emerging opportunities to drive additional engagement and investment in our franchises outside of games. These opportunities include esports, film and television, and consumer products. Our efforts to build these adjacent opportunities are still relatively nascent, but we view them as potentially significant sources of future revenues.
As part of our efforts to take advantage of the esports opportunity, during 2017 we completed the sale of 12 teams for the Overwatch League. The Overwatch League is the first major global professional esports league with city-based teams. The first preseason matches occurred in December 2017 and the inaugural regular season started in January 2018.
Activision also teased that they’ll be releasing several remastered titles in 2018.

Activision Blizzard just released their 2017 investor report, and it paints an interesting picture of the publishing behemoth. For example, the company currently has $4.4 billion in long-term debt outstanding. While that certainly is a lot of money (even to a business as large as Activision), it isn’t uncommon for successful businesses to have long-term debt outstanding. It’s also worth noting that the amount is down from previous years, as the company had $5.9 billion in debt. Still, Activision says that their “debt burden could have important consequences” in the future.
Here’s the relevant portion of Activision’s investor report titled “Our debt could negatively affect our business”:
As of December 31, 2017, the Company had approximately $4.4 billion of long-term debt outstanding. Our debt burden could have important consequences, including: increasing our vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions; limiting our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and our industry; requiring the dedication of a substantial portion of any cash flow from operations for the payment of principal and interest on our indebtedness, thereby reducing the availability of cash flow to fund our operations, growth strategy, working capital, capital expenditures, future business opportunities, and other general corporate purposes; exposing us to the risk of increased interest rates with respect to any borrowings that are at floating rates of interest; restricting us from making strategic acquisitions or causing us to make non-strategic divestitures; limiting our ability to obtain additional financing for working capital, capital expenditures, research and development, acquisitions and general corporate or other purposes; limiting our ability to adjust to changing market conditions; and placing us at a competitive disadvantage relative to competitors who are less highly leveraged.
Agreements governing our indebtedness, including our credit agreement and the indentures governing our notes, impose operating and financial restrictions on our activities. These restrictions require us to comply with or maintain certain financial tests and ratios. In addition, under certain circumstances, our credit agreement and indentures may limit or prohibit other activities. In addition, we are required to maintain a maximum total net debt ratio calculated pursuant to a financial maintenance covenant under our credit agreement. Further, various risks, uncertainties and events beyond our control could affect our ability to comply with these covenants. Failure to comply with any of the covenants in our financing agreements could result in a default under those agreements and under other agreements containing cross-default provisions. Such a default would permit lenders to accelerate the maturity of the debt under these agreements. Under these circumstances, we might not have sufficient funds or other resources to satisfy all of our obligations, including our obligations under our credit agreement or the indentures governing our notes. In addition, the limitations imposed by financing agreements on our ability to incur additional debt and to take other actions might significantly impair our ability to obtain other financing. There can be no assurances that we will be granted waivers or amendments to these agreements if for any reason we are unable to comply with these agreements or that we will be able to refinance our debt on terms acceptable to us, or at all.
Activision Blizzard is set to release several major titles in 2018 including a new Call of Duty.

Activision just released their annual investor report, and one section of their upcoming releases stood out. The company says that “releases of remastered versions of titles from our library of IP” will be released in 2018. This is particularly interesting as it says titles (plural), which would indicate that there are several remastered games on the way.
Here’s the relevant portion of Activision’s annual investor report (bolded emphasis is ours):
We expect to release World of Warcraft: Battle for Azeroth and our latest Call of Duty game in the second half of 2018. In addition, we expect to deliver ongoing content for our various franchises, including expansion packs for Hearthstone and Destiny 2 , in-game events for Overwatch , and map packs for Call of Duty: WWII , as well as releases of remastered versions of titles from our library of IP. We also expect to release at least two new mobile titles during 2018, including a social casino game from King.
That could mean a ton of things considering how huge Activision’s library of properties is. It could mean anything from Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 getting a remastered release or a Spyro the Dragon trilogy similar to what Crash Bandicoot received last year. Only time will tell what Activision has in their sleeves for gamers.
There are rumors going around that Spyro might make a comeback, though:
The [rumored] Spyro remaster will be announced for PlayStation 4 sometime in March 2018, with a tentative release date of Q3 2018 planned. One source with Kotaku UK told the site that the game would launch in September, which would coincide with the franchises 20th anniversary. The game will also be a one-year timed exclusive for PlayStation 4, before being ported out to other systems in 2019. While all of this is still up in the air, the thought of replaying some of the PlayStation’s oldest and most classic games is surely exciting to fans. We’ll make sure to update you should any more information present itself.
We’ll have more on the upcoming Activision remakes as the story develops.

MLB The Show 18 is shaping up to be a big year for Sony’s yearly baseball game. The game will feature a revamped Road to the Show mode, a “major gameplay engine tune up,” and a new player tagging system. The game itself looks quite impressive, and there are over 1,000 new gameplay animations that’ll be in the March 27, 2018 release. Now Sony has released a new video showing off several of the legends that’ll be playable. Some of the bigger names include the “Iron Man” Cal Ripken Jr. and Babe Ruth.
Check out the new MLB The Show 18 legends trailer below:
Here’s what Sony had to announce about the upcoming MLB The Show 18 features (via the PlayStation Blog):
This year we’re bringing back Road to the Show, Diamond Dynasty, Battle Royale, Conquest, and Franchise Mode, and will have a major gameplay engine tune up among other features.
Baseball is a game of details. At its core there’s pitching, hitting, catching, throwing, and tagging. All of those areas of the game have received major development resources this year. Below are a few changes we’ve revealed in our trailer:
- Expansion of Road to the Show
- Dynamic crowds like Judge’s Chambers
- New unique home run celebrations

SEGA has announced that they’ve removed the Yakuza 6 demo from the PlayStation Store. This is due to an error allowing players to access the complete game, which is supposed to release on April 16, 2018. The publisher says they’re “looking into the nature of the issue,” and thanked players for their patience.
Here’s the official Yakuza 6 demo takedown announcement:
We’re looking into the nature of the issue. Thank you for your patience. 2/2
— SEGA (@SEGA) February 27, 2018
For more on the upcoming title, check out our Yakuza 6 import review. Here’s what I had to say about the action game:
Thankfully, the new characters are all very likable, and the mystery of who fathered Haruka’s child is a fun one to figure out. Heck, it even comes with some life lessons to use protection! Much like how the story is more focused than previous entries, so are the locations. While Yakuza 5 had many new locations to explore, the entire game only takes place in the already explored grounds of Kamurocho and Hiroshima. Both areas are filled with quests and interesting things to do, though, so while it’s a slight step backwards in scale, not much is lost.
While it’s slightly disappointing to see so many members of Yakuza‘s great ensemble cast take a back seat in Yakuza 6: Song of Life, it ultimately works since this is Kiryu’s story. As such, the final chapters of his story are a much more focused and grounded story than ever before. That’s not to say that things don’t occasionally get ridiculous, but it reminds me more of Yakuza 3 in both its scope and heart. Overall, it’s a story of personal growth, and one that allows Kiryu to say his goodbyes.
Yakuza 6: The Song of Life is set to release in North America and Europe on April 17, 2018.

Originally released in September, the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation VR horror game Don’t Knock Twice is now available at retail. The game is based upon the movie of the same name, and has players dealing with the witch Baba Yaga while searching for their daughter. It’s available at retail for $39.99.
“The horror genre includes some of the most riveting videogames out there,” said Mickey Torode, director of publishing at Perp Games. “Fear and atmosphere really suck players into the gaming experience, and VR creates another method of really captivating and involving players. We look forward to bringing more immersive VR experiences like Don’t Knock Twice to the PlayStation platform.”
For even more on the horror game, check out our Don’t Know Twice review. Here’s a snippet of what Chandler Wood had to say:
I haven’t seen the movie upon which Don’t Knock Twice is based, but I did watch a trailer. It’s funny how many elements from the trailer ended up in the game like the developer had a series of check boxes to go through. The random axe used to break of door handles and bust down walls, the sculpture room, and the bad blood between mother and daughter—among many other aspects—felt ripped right from the movie trailer and plopped into the game for no good reason other than to call them related. There’s a very loose story of some friction between mom and daughter, and there’s the creepy witch Baba Yaga whom I think kidnapped the daughter? Mom then has to complete some sort of ritual pentagram by finding objects around the house to go to Baba Yaga’s own realm and confront her.
Don’t Knock Twice might be a decent complementary companion to the handful of people who liked the movie (28% critic score, 25% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes), but there’s just far too little to enjoy, and what is here feels like low-budget copy and paste of the last half decade of horror titles if you decide to play without the PSVR headset. Virtual reality escalates the atmosphere to a much more sustainable level, but there’s nothing about Don’t Knock Twice that makes it a must play horror game, inside of virtual reality or out.
Don’t Knock Twice is available now.

Secret Location’s Blasters of the Universe is now available on PlayStation VR, and the unique take on bullet hell shooters can be quite challenging. Thankfully, we got some tips from the developer on how to better survive the onslaught of bullets, and help players up their high score. Check out the list of 10 Blasters of the Universe tips below to make sure you have an advantage!
Tip #1: Lead your targets. You’ll always miss enemies in motion if you’re aiming right at them. Aim a bit ahead and with practice you can destroy them before they get a chance to fire at you.
Tip #2: Know when to move and when to stay put. Watch the incoming bullet patterns – sometimes your best move is to remain still and let the circle of bullets pass safely around your head, sometimes you’ll need to duck and dodge out of the way.
Tip #3: Find there are a lot of enemy bullets coming at you? Rotate between crouching and standing. The bullets always target your head, but once they’re fired they stay on the same trajectory. Changing your elevation means that wave of bullets will miss you completely for the next few seconds, letting you get a jump on taking out those enemies. Beware – this can be quite the workout.
Tip #4: Having trouble with Destruktor? When the wall of shields spawns in front of you, always take out the bottom row immediately. You won’t have much time to do it after the orange crawlers spawn.
Tip #5: Experiment! If you are having a tough time with a level or a Boss, go back to the Armory and try a different combination of parts and modifiers. Finding a loadout that works for your play style is half the fun.
Tip #6: Always shoot down missiles. Heavy Gunners got you down? Feeling sad that they blow up your shield with one hit? Carefully aim your shots to blow their missiles out of the air before they reach you.
Tip #7: Don’t wait for your magazine to run out before you reload! Whenever you clear a wave or have a split second free, reload your blaster.
Tip #8: Don’t let too many enemies pile up! Always take out the weaker and closest enemies first so that there are fewer bullets to worry about.
Tip #9: You can stop a laser-based enemy from firing if you shoot it while it’s powering up
Tip #10: Throw your shield! If you throw your shield at a bullet or a missile, it will still protect you, but you can respawn it with full health right after you let go.
Blasters of the Universe is available now for PlayStation VR.
