0

Crystal Palace are all set to complete the signing of former Borussia Dortmund manager Lucien Favre as their new head coach. Roy Hodgson announced that he would be retiring from his position shortly before the season ended, and finished his career against his former club, Liverpool. 

Favre was axed from the Westfalenstadion midway through the 20/21 stadium and was replaced with Edin Terzic. The stand-in coach managed to not only lead Dortmund into the top four, but also guided them to the DFB Pokal trophy by defeating RB Leipzig in the finals. 

According to renowned transfer insider Fabrizio Romano, Favre is set to join the London club this summer. He will sign a three-year contract that will keep him at the club until 2024. The agreement is expected to be completed very soon. Only the final details remain to be sorted out between the two parties. 

As per the new laws in place within the United Kingdom, only the work permit remains to be sorted out for the move to go through. The club are working hard to close the deal as soon as possible following the case with Wolves’ Bruno Lage. 

Palace finished 14th in the Premier League this past season. The arrival of Favre will give the fans of the club hope that they will at least be able to finish in the top half next season. With talent of the likes of Wilfried Zaha and Eberechi Eze at the club, they could do so under the right guidance.

Halo: The Master Chief Collection Might Get Support of up to 60 Players

0

According to a developer, the big team battles of Halo might get a whole lot bigger, and the dev hopes to see Halo: The Master Chief Collection’s player cap of 16 pushed as high as 40 or 60.

Sean Swidersky, the 343 producers, highlighted during an Xbox stream (which was clipped by YouTuber Mint Blitz) that the team is doing “investigations on increased player counts above 16” in the throwback collection.

Swidersky said, “Halo is epic, and if we can add more people […] to go higher than 16 people, hell, go up to 40, 60, that’d be wild.”

He informed that, while implementing all the stuff is mostly not so hard in itself, the knock-on effects to performance are more of a pain point – particularly on older consoles still supported by the MCC. But while Swidersky doesn’t say anything about it, there also remains a big question about where you are supposed to fill all these players.

Taking the possible exception of Reach’s Forge World, Halo’s maps are quite dinky – with even the huge maps are only built for maybe 24 players. 16 players in Sandtrap feels manageable.

The same map having 60 angry Spartans would be uncontrollable chaos. But support for 60 players could be more beneficial for the game’s modding community, incentivizing more huge, Battlefield-sized maps like Extinction (assuming the MCC doesn’t break them more with each major update).

Halo Infinite is might not getting a battle royale. But if 343 somehow follows through with accelerating the MCC’s player cap, modders might just bring one instead.

EA officially purchases Playdemic from WarnerMedia for $1.4 billion

EA is not a new name when it comes to Mobile Gaming; however, not many of its mobile platform games are what we consider to be top-notch. Though its PC and Console games have won many awards, we are still waiting for the gaming company to deliver a decisive title on the mobile platform.

According to recent news, EA has purchased the mobile game developer Playdemic for $1.4 billion. The mobile game developer is the studio behind Golf Clash and was previously a part of WarnerMedia. Upon purchase, EA stated that it plans to use Playdemic’s experience to help make future mobile games and that it’s interested in using Golf Clash’s mechanics with other franchises.

Though the idea here seems to be only using Golf Clash which has over 10 million installs on Google Play Store. but it also plans on using this opportunity to incorporate some of its other series — it makes the PGA golf games after all.

EA seems to be extremely focused on increasing its presence known in the mobile gaming market recently as we also have heard the news that purchased mobile developer Glu in February for $2.1 billion.

Coming to WarnerMedia, Playdemic’s former owner, the company is now moving from AT&T and joining Discovery. The company says that it’s divesting from Playdemic as “part of [its] overall strategy to build games based on Warner Bros. storied franchises.” The official Warner Bros. Games’ website is dominated by franchises like Lego, Harry Potter, and Mortal Kombat.

The company even has listed upcoming games like the DC universe-based Gotham Knights. However, the company has officially announced that the rest of the upcoming games will become part of the combined Warner-Discovery company after the deal is settled.
