hey everyone i'm steve from gamers nexus net and this is our weekly game news recap so we're going over the news for the games industry in the last week and we have another video coming up with the hardware news for the week so check that out the first item is called duty black ops 18 or whatever it is now and that just released about probably a little more than 24 hours ago at the point of this video being uploaded and the game is a call of duty game you shoot things you run around and you dolphin dive it takes some elements from titanfall like wall running and parkour and actually has a free running mode which kind of reminds me of mirrors edge 2 some somewhat limited extent and we tested those on various video cards we're working on testing them on CPUs tested it in memory all that stuff the gameplay I will say from my very limited actual playing the game time is call of duty so high you know what that's like if you like it or not then that's what it is so there's no new revolutionary big thing there but in terms of the performance the GPUs have some issues in a few places but generally you'll get by playing on 1080p with maxed out settings on about a GTX 970 you can go down to a 960 or r9 380 if you drop some settings like anti-aliasing and things like that we have a whole video describing all this so check that out if you're interested but the end of the day it is a new black ops call of duty game there's single-player there's multiplayer and the only thing anyone is ever going to do is multiplayer so that's out there now and check out our content on the channel for more on that in terms of other big news items rockstar games GTA 5 recently cause trouble for steam for valve not for rockstar this time for once and the trouble was that valve posted an advertisement during one of their recent sales about GTA 5 being twenty-five percent off so the advertisement was misleading and led users to believe that it was discounted 52 pounds 239 pounds this was a UK ad and that was actually not the case it was it discount only for a bundle of rockstar titles so several GTA titles and did not apply to the individual game in the same fashion and in response to this even though it's been a few months now the a-si which is a UK authority has come down on valve and had a ruling stating that the game was on a misleading sale it was not true to the consumers what was going on with the actual price was and the very hard reality for valve is that they're not allowed to run that again so kind of a slap on the wrist not actually a harsh reality what happened is the a-si and valve agreed that it was a problem that it was an unintentional and erroneous placement of the ad on the standalone game and valve will not be running the hat again in the future quite obviously and they even pulled and corrected the ad within a few hours of finding out its placement in error previously a few months ago so that's all there is with the rock star and valve issue that's been resolved now the next two items are related and that is a Witcher 3 live action movie and then a world of warcraft movie so the warcraft one you may have already seen the trailer it's been on YouTube for a little while now and that is coming to theaters soon it is the world of warcraft universe and i'll be honest i actually was an EverQuest player 1 and later too but I don't really talk about that and I never played wow was not interested in it at all I recognize its importance but I was not a player i was in EverQuest True Blood player so that said Warcraft is coming out as a movie and whether or not you were a fan or player of wow it is actually kind of important to pay attention to in the games industry because the success and reception of wow by a greater audience will sort of determine and helped shape how games and movies interact in the future and where the crossovers are so that'll be kind of fun to watch and pay attention to regarding perhaps the more traditional film critic industry's response versus the games industry's response to the movies launch in terms of The Witcher 3 or The Witcher rather I should say not the witcher 3 the witcher is getting its own live-action placement in a new movie and this is based on the novel so it's not like it's just based on the game because the game is based on the novels as well and there's a studio that I don't know how to pronounce called platys or I'll do the American thing here planted films and that has announced that its joining another company Sean Daniel company to work on The Witcher movie the studio working on this hopes that it will become a series in the long run but for now it's one movie it's been in pre-production I'm not entirely sure if it's exited pre-production yet but it's on the way so we've got the witcher and world of warcraft in terms of movies coming out from the games industry and then the final news item for the week is Paragon which is epic games newest kind of teased game they didn't really actually provide any tangible information we know that there's a guy who exists in a game with an unknown genre and the guy's name is twin blaster and he looks like he lifts so that's about all we know Paragon is probably from my own speculation going to be a MOBA or a team shooter or something like that just based on strictly the looks one thing that we do know is that the graphics shown in the teaser video are going to be in-game graphics that is representative of in-game renders which means that it's pretty high fidelity graphics content and it is a pc game so that's always exciting will certainly benchmark that whenever it comes out it's coming out sometime in 2016 we don't know when we don't know what the genre is all we know is that Epic Games will continue to announce new characters or they're calling them heroes which again leads me to believe team shooter or MOBA they're announcing those once a week starting last week and there's more coming out through the next couple of weeks into the four week of December so we'll be following that if anything substantial and worth reporting comes out then I will certainly follow up and provide a more in-depth look at the game but as it stands now we're very limited on knowledge of what Paragon is and what it hopes to do so that is all for this week's news roundup check
