MechAssault Meets World of Tanks in Core Breach

Wargaming has announced a new, limited-time gameplay mode coming to World of Tanks: Mercenaries, and like other limited events turns the core gameplay on its head. This time, developers from the original Day 1 Studios team (behind the MechAssault series) are bringing anime-inspird mobile suit combat to the game. The new game mode is called Core Breach, and it’s set to run from January 29 to February 4, 2019.

While mechs may be a surprising addition to World of Tanks: Mercenaries, this mode marks a return to the roots of Wargaming Chicago-Baltimore (formerly known as Day 1 Studios), with some of the key talents behind Microsoft’s machine-mashing MechAssault series working to bring Core Breach to life. This special event is the latest in a series of crazy fan-favorite modes that flip World of Tanks: Mercenaries’ core gameplay on its head, with previous events featuring sea-faring battles, tank warfare on Mars, and even an alien invasion of Earth!

The new Core Breach mode will see players jump behind the controls of one of two devastatingly tough mechs. These behemoths pack the power of a Panzer platoon and will come equipped with machine guns, lasers and missiles. This mode is a 4 vs 4 team destruction battle where players will have to work together to bring down the enemy. Each battle lasts for 8 minutes and being destroyed does NOT mean game over as the mechs can respawn. Victory is awarded to whichever team has destroyed the most mechs, or in the event of a tie, have caused the most damage. Best and Cheapest WoT Gold For Sale - Mmocs.com.

While mechs might seem like a far cry from the more traditional tracked armor pieces seen in World of Tanks, it’s actually a return to form for the team behind it all. Wargaming Chicago-Baltimore (formerly known, at least in part, as Wargaming West) was originally Day 1 Studios. Prior to being acquired by the Belarusian-owned, Cyprus-headquartered company in 2013, members of Day 1 had a hand in making the classic MechAssault series.

World of Tanks: Mercenaries is played by more than 17 million players worldwide and is available on all generations of PlayStation®4, Xbox One, and Xbox 360. World of Tanks: Mercenaries can be downloaded for free by all PlayStation Network and Xbox Live account holders, with stunning 4K resolution and HDR support available on PlayStation®4 Pro and Xbox One X. The epic, story-driven campaign mode War Stories can also be played for free, giving players the chance to rewrite history in immersive single-player and co-operative battles.

'Playing Hard' Tells the story of For Honor

A documentary called Playing Hard which tells the story of For Honor and how Ubisoft produced the game is now on Netflix. The documentary that takes a look inside the Ubisoft offices was originally released last year and has made the rounds at different screening events and has been sold in a physical format, and it’s now available on the streaming platform. Jason VandenBerghe, the game’s creative director, and other figureheads involved with the game’s development make candid appearances in the documentary.

The film is a stark look at the high costs of triple-A game development. For Honor’s creative director, Jason VandenBerghe gradually becomes disillusioned as the game moved beyond his original vision and out of his hands. Meanwhile, producer Stéphane Cardin burns out and leaves the team to undergo therapy just months before For Honor ships. Luc Duchaine, For Honor’s publicist, sees his health decline as he travels the world to help drum up interest in the game.

“Never before have viewers been exposed to the incredible human machine that is required to create such a large-scale game,” Chartier writes on Playing Hard’s official web page. Chartier notes that after several months of shooting, his access to the production floor was revoked. After “many months and discussions,” he was allowed back. “Ubisoft bet on transparency, a quality that is missing in the game industry,” Chartier writes, noting that Ubisoft had no say over the film’s final cut.

"As the production team grows from 40 to 500 people, we witness the human theatre involved in creating and launching a major video game," the video description states. "In the world's biggest video game studio, a constantly growing team works on the creation of For Honor, a game that stages an epic war between Vikings, knights, and samurai. Like the game's characters, the main creators will face adversity that will take their personal lives to the breaking point.

While the movie was released on DVD and Vimeo in 2018, this Friday “Playing Hard” debuted on the world’s most popular streaming platform Netflix, giving more people a chance to see it. Even if you’re not into For Honor game, you shouldn’t be sceptical. “Playing Hard” gives a very interesting look inside the development processes in the triple-A studio. The movie doesn’t shy away from portraying the production problems that many other studios experience as well.
