With the promise of 128 player matches on current-gen consoles, Battlefield 2042 would need a consistently high player count to make sure players always have an enemy to fire at. Since that's not possible to guarantee, developer DICE has thought of a way around the issue: lots of bots.According to a post on EA's website, Battlefield 2042 will be keeping servers constantly packed using AI soldiers. That being said, there isn't a guarantee that you'll be going up against bots in every match. AI soldiers will be "used for server-filling capabilities, ensuring your matches remain full, no matter your location." In other words, if your server can be filled with 128 real players, they will be.It's worth noting that on last-gen consoles, players likely won't see as many bots thanks to a lower player count. On the PS4 and Xbox One, games of conquest and breakthrough will only go up to 64 players, as opposed to PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S, which can house up to 128 per match.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Deviation Games says its upcoming PlayStation exclusive will be "big in scope." The brand new studio, set up by former Treyarch developers Dave Anthony and Jason Blundell, made its first appearance during last week's Summer Game Fest kickoff event by announcing that it's working on a "groundbreaking" new IP for Sony."Make no mistake: This game is gonna be big in scope," CEO Anthony said in a recent interview with Eurogamer. Deviation has already been working on the game for over a year at this point and has over 100 people on staff. The game's still a ways out, though, and Anthony is keen to hire more developers to continue building up the studio with the right people and the right culture.With the game being this far out, Deviation and Sony are keeping tight-lipped on any specifics, even when it comes to platforms. With that said, PlayStation Studios' Hermen Hulst is clearly excited to talk about the potential of the new partnership. "Together we're bringing a new IP that's bold, that stands on the shoulders of what these guys have learned over their careers that speak for themselves," Hulst said. "We're always looking to offer fresh new experiences to the audience, to the PlayStation community. It's also an honour for me as the head of PlayStation Studios to find a group like Jason, Dave, and their team to work with us."Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Not only that, but the cans are evenly split across Pleasant Park and Dirty Docks, with four in each location, so you actually won't even need to venture to the second locale once you've found two at the spot of your choosing.Because every match is different and the best drops are often based on where the Battle Bus is heading, we'll still show you all eight spots anyway, beginning in Pleasant Park.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com
