Globe is going all-in when it comes to their games and esports efforts in 2022, launching an advocacy campaign, improved data promos, and an all-new gaming platform, Globe Gamer Grounds.

With millions of Filipinos playing online games on their mobiles, PCs, and consoles, Globe has launched the Game Well-Played to foster camaraderie among gamers.

This campaign kicked off with the #KakalaroKoYanWithGlobe movement, encouraging everyone to share the benefits gaming has brought in their everyday lives to break the stereotype.

Gamers may post their answers to the question “Ano nga ba ang napapala ko sa paglalaro” (What do I get from gaming in the first place?) on social media using the campaign hashtag.

A new digital film produced by Globe, Good Son, can now be streamed by clicking here. The narrative focuses on how the player draws support from his gaming community to help his family’s needs.

Improved GoPLAY offers

To make gaming more accessible, Globe has also improved its Go+ offers with GoPLAY.

With the promo focused on popular games, subscribers may enjoy playing the following games, without having to worry about running out of data:

  • Mobile Legends: Bang Bang (MLBB)
  • PUBG Mobile
  • Call of Duty Mobile (CODM)
  • League of Legends Wild Rift
  • Valorant
  • Legends of Runeterra

Globe has also recently added Genshin Impact and Pokemon Unite to its roster for GoPLAY.

Globe Gamer Grounds

Lastly, Globe has partnered with leading tech solutions companies to bring Globe Gamer Grounds live.

It will be an all-in-one gaming platform which welcomes all gamers, from newbies to pros.

The platform will enable users to connect with friends, play together, buy upgrades for characters, and more.

You can play SNES games on this Nike shoe

The project celebrates the SNES’s 35th anniversary.

Have sneakerheads gone too far? While we’ve seen gaming-related collaborations before, no one has gone so far as to stick an actual console inside a sneaker before. But, then again, there’s a first time for everything. To celebrate the console’s 35th anniversary, a designer has packed a playable Super Nintendo Entertainment System (or SNES) inside a pair of Nike Air Max 90 sneakers.

Most collaborations of the same type usually incorporate inspired visuals onto the shoe. Some, for example, just add a console’s colors into the shoe’s design. The SNES-inspired show goes beyond by adding the console (or a version of it) into the shoe.

Designer Gustavo Bonzanini, who designed the SNES-packed shoe, added a small Raspberry Pi Zero W into the shoe’s tongue. The microcomputer was then programmed to emulate 16-bit games like Super Mario World. It even has the classic RCA cables so you can plug into an old TV for that additional nostalgia.

The one thing it can’t do, however, is have a wired connection to the classic SNES controllers. Instead, Bonzanini customized the controller to have wireless connectivity. It’s a touch of modernity but ultimately adds to how impressive the effort is.

To top it all off, the console-slash-shoe can power gameplay for up to 30 minutes. It’s tiny, but it’s an art project after all.

That said, it’s not for sale. As cool as it is, the SNES Nike is only to celebrate the console’s 35th birthday.

If you really wanted to, it’s not too difficult to play SNES in today’s age. Nintendo even offers the console in its Nintendo Switch Online subscriptions.

Assassin’s Creed Shadows gets Attack on Titan-themed content

The story is available only until December 22.

Published

Ubisoft is no stranger to quirky DLCs, especially for the Assassin’s Creed franchise. One of its most infamous is Assassin’s Creed III’s The Tyranny of King Washington, which imagines an alternate reality (or as alternate as an Assassin’s Creed entry can get) where George Washington became a dictator. Now, the franchise is getting even wackier with an official tie-up with Attack on Titan.

Assassin’s Creed Shadows is the ongoing entry for the series. The title has players go on a journey of revenge in medieval Japan as the stealthy Naoe and the brutal Yasuke. Since launching, the game has gotten an expansion which adds an epilogue to the story. Today, a new update adds more content and a timed story.

A chunk of the update was already revealed previously. It contains a new story that has Naoe and Yasuke learn each other’s skills (or a version of them, at least). Adding to that story is a new quest tied to the popular Attack on Titan series. It also comes with custom gear and mounts based on the series.

Naoe and Yasuke travel to the enigmatic Crystal Cave to help a strangely garbed woman named Ada. A cult is threatening to initiate a deadly experiment on one of Ada’s friends, which might see the arrival of an actual Titan in medieval Japan. The story’s trailer ends with a brief tease on the aforementioned monster.

Though most of the update is for keeps, the Attack on Titan content will be available only from now until December 22.

Ubisoft confirms Far Cry live-action anthology series

Published

Months ago, Ubisoft accidentally announced that it is working with FX on a live-action adaptation of the Far Cry series. Today, the publisher finally confirmed the news and attached some notable names to the project.

Confirmed directly by the publisher via an official announcement, Ubisoft announced that FX has ordered a series based on the first-person adventure series. The show will be an anthology series with different characters and stories for every season. With that description, it sounds a lot like The White Lotus but with more guns.

The games themselves follow this same format. Each game has a different setting and set of characters. The last, for instance, featured Giancarlo Esposito as Anton Castillo, the dictator of a fictional South American country named Yara.

Helming the live-action project are two big names for Hulu: Noah Hawley and Rob Mac. Hawley recently earned his flowers through the recently concluded first season of Alien: Earth. Meanwhile, Rob Mac has been earning success after success with It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia.

With those two helming the series, the upcoming Far Cry adaptation has the potential to make a name for itself in the videogame adaptation scene. These days, adaptations are rocking the airwaves with notable adaptations including Fallout and The Last of Us.
