It’s easy to forget that the people making and supporting your favorite summer games are going through abrupt changes in their own lives, yet they continue to deliver Belva new legend content to keep players enga
Apex Legends is a very successful battle royale game by Respawn Entertainment that saw a lot of growth due to its free-to-play model as well as its ability to focus on representation and inclusion in its character roster. Over the last year plus they've done a great job at adding additional legends with unique personalities of their own. One of their most recent is man-turned-machine named Revenant that happens to be a murderous hitman for a crime syndicate. Let's now go over 10 things you didn't know about Revenant from Apex Legen
In a world that's somewhat grounded, the introduction of an ability that resurrects people is quite head-scratching. Tom Casiello, a writer for the game, was asked to provide a canonical explanation for the ability, but couldn't due to the explanation being tied to a future leg
It seems players rarely take the time to appreciate video game developers. Twitter feeds and game forums are frequently filled with game criticism. Even in normal circumstances, gamers fail to openly appreciate the efforts of those who work so hard. We may not know these workers by name, but they're working diligently to create brilliant stories, designs and technology that allow us to enjoy this form of immers
Out of all of the non-care package sniper rifles in the game, the Longbow is the best of the bunch. Back in Season 3 , it received a rate of fire increase and it hasn't looked back since. In Season 5 the change was made so now the Skullpiercer attachment could be used on it, which greatly increases its headshot dam
Throughout the entertainment medium, you'll often find that artists and animators love to reference their favorite influences and inspirations via direct examples, or even sometimes as hidden easter eggs. Revenant happens to have a rarely occurring animation when summoning his Ultimate ability called Death Totem. He will do a series of hand signs that are directly from the famous manga and anime series Naruto . This makes perfect sense considering the Naruto franchise focuses on ninjas, which were a direct inspiration for Revenant's charac
It's unclear whether this legend is tied to the Syndicate, Hammond Robotics, or both. It could also end up being a legend tied to neither, but maybe one who was experimented on and had the ability naturally, before they infused Revenant with
As applied to randoms, this optional metric would be a terrific way to incentivize good behavior. Perhaps the result of numerous positive endorsements could be a guaranteed legendary item, a unique skydive emote or a special profile ba
One solution is the one that Overwatch implemented, which allows players to endorse other players at the end of each game. In that game, endorsements only reflect positive attributes, such as Sportsmanship, Good Teammate and Shot Cal
He can't die either, as his owners can resurrect him the moment he dies and bring him back to life. Now he's on a hunt for anything or anyone related to Hammond Robotics , which operates in the Outla
Recently, I was matched with someone whose name was a play on the coronavirus. Perhaps merely evidence of a juvenile sense of humor, it hits different when 23,000 people in your city have died of the vi
If you're familiar with the Syndicate in the world of Apex Legends than chances are you've at least heard of Revenant. During his introduction to the game, players witnessed him kill Marcos and Alanza Andrade, the people who happened to be Loba's parents. At the time she was a witness to the entire event, despite being no older than 10 when it happened. This has given her a lifelong mission of vengeance and she hates Revenant more than anything else in existence. Their relationship when on the same team is less than ideal and 100% uncomforta
Ultimately, it seems bigger thing driving these development teams is a sense of collective duty. It stems from the developers' passion for the game itself, love for their fanbases and deep appreciation for the communities that support their work. Development teams, including the project leaders, designers, writers, marketing teams, and executive leaders, understand they have a responsibility in these difficult times. They inherently recognize they're providing refuge for people who might otherwise be putting themselves in positions to spread a terrible illn
As a result of the pandemic, my workload is significantly lighter. Even if there were more to do, thoughts about the crisis around me frequently zap my energy. But there are a few things that have kept me sane through the crisis, like cocktail delivery services and a friend's HBO Go passw
