Check Out 70 Brand New Dissidia Final Fantasy NT Screenshots

Posted on January 14, 2018 by Rae Michelle Richards

The Dissidia Final Fantasy NT beta is in full swing on the PlayStation Network right now and I’ve been playing it extensively. Below are over 70 screenshots that I took over this past weekend and I hope everyone enjoys them. There’s a great mix of menu screens, in-game battle screens, victory animation screens and screenshots of the defeat animations.

Full impressions and over an hour of video will be going live on the site later on in the week as well. If you haven’t caught the Dissidia hype, Square Enix will be rotating the roster of available characters 3 times over the 9 day beta – with the next roster rotation taking place tomorrow (Monday) at 2PM PST.

DISSIDIA: Final Fantasy NT Open Beta Buster Swords On To PSN Today

Posted on January 12, 2018 by Rae Michelle Richards

Warm up your PlayStation hard drives and your prep your reflexes because upcoming fighting title DISSIDIA: Final Fantasy NT has an open beta taking place across the next week. Featuring characters, stages, summons and costumes from the mainline Final Fantasy titles, the latest DISSIDIA title offers players both online and offline challenges, even in the open beta. 

There are three broad windows over the next seven days where PlayStation 4 owners can try out DISSIDIA Final Fantasy: 

  • From Friday, January 12 @ 6:00 AM PST to Monday, January 15 @ 1:00 PM PST 
  • From Monday, January 15 @ 2:00 PM PST to Thursday, January 18 @ 1:00 PM PST 
  • From Thursday, January 18 @ 2:00 PM PST to Sunday, January 21 @ 1:00 PM PST 

Characters will be rotated in and out throughout the three test periods, so if you don’t find a character that you are particuarly fond of (or in my case probably good with >___>), there’s always a chance your favorite FF heroine or hero will show up during the next window.  

Personally I am hoping to try out both Lightening and Y’Shtola – FFXIV being one of the games I’ve played habitually since 2014. I’ll also try my hand at Pretty Boy Combat ™ if Noctis, Cloud or Sephiroth are playable during any of the Open Beta windows. 

Oh and as a final note, the download size of the DISSIDIA: Final Fantasy NT Open Beta is quite large – clocking in at just over 25GB.

6.4 Million Players Took Part In The Division’s Open Beta

Posted on February 22, 2016 by Rae Michelle Richards

Ubisoft’s open beta for Tom Clancy’s The Division appears to have been a success with over 6.4 million sleeper agents being activated across all three platforms – Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and Windows PC.  According to Ubi The Division’s open beta was the largest for a new intellectual property.

The amount of players logging into the open beta wasn’t the only statistic that the publisher released as the open beta drew to a close last night. On average testers spent 4 hours and 52 minutes in the game with more than 1/3rd of all play time spent in the PVP Dark Zone regions. That is quite the feat considering that the open beta only contained a limited map and progression system up until level 6.

According to twitter trends tracking website hasgtagify.me #TheDivision reached its most popular period over the weekend in the last two months thanks to the open beta.

How many agents do you think will log-in when the full version launches March 8th? Our staff will have coverage of the game starting on day one!

Ubisoft has announced than an open beta for their upcoming tactical multiplayer shooter Rainbow Six: Siege will be taking place from November 25th until the 29th. If you weren’t part of the previously extended closed beta that took place last month here is your chance to try a slice of Rainbow Six’s unique take on competitive team based multiplayer before the full game blasts its way into retail.

In terms of content the open beta will offer up 14 of the final game’s 20 operators and 3 different maps. Returning from the closed beta are the maps House and Hereford with this being the public’s first chace to try out the Kanal map.
