 Hey there lads and ladies it is Petrifying Pumpkins here and we have got a firewall ultra news video which is nice to see especially when we're just one week out. This one is a blog post from Sony which details the new pve mode which is called Xfill which is short for Xfill tries. So I'm just going to go over the details see what's new any improvements over the last one it seems like there's a lot. So revealing first details on new firewall ultra pve mode Xfill and this is from David Jagno strategic communications manager first contact entertainment so includes support for co-op with up to four players available at launch this august so anyone who played firewall zero hour remembers there was a co-op mode in firewall zero hour that also supported four players but it was somewhat bare bones you know I think most people were into the contracts mode didn't really pay much attention to the co-op mode unless they wanted to maybe I don't know learn the maps a bit better or try new weapons or whatever. So today we're pumped to reveal one of the biggest evolutions to the firewall franchise by sharing new details on firewall ultra's player versus environment game mode Xfill short for X filtration. This brand new pve game mode aims to challenge players in a group across every map that is available in game to offer an unprecedented level of variety and excitement to the firewall experience. In this blog and of course it's a blog again can't get videos for whatever reason but it's a blog we'll take what we can guess. We're going to break down the new Xfill mode and why we're so excited for everyone to check it out when firewall ultra launches exclusively for psv or two august 24th that is one week away less now I think and here we have a this is new the gif is new but it is like literally two seconds of gameplay in a gif maybe three seconds of for being generous you can see a few contractors moving around you get an idea of what the flashlights look like and you know not much else correct me if i'm wrong but i think that map is oil rig as well so we're still seeing the same few maps being shown off we still haven't got a new one yet the firewall franchise is well known in vore for its pulse pounding gameplay without response intense firefights across an assortment of maps and deep customization and progression all those pillars are carried into the new pve xfill mode but this time with a focus on challenging ai enemies so big focus on ai and the improvement of ai over what was in firewall zero hour so what is xfill mode in xfill you and up to three other players will set out on missions to secure data on three laptops so there's the first big change uh which is a big well which is a big change from the single laptop format of our pvp mode contracts so and in contracts it remains the one laptop but in this mode it's three laptops we've designed each map to accommodate both pve and pvp game modes so you're always uncovering new pathways through levels and finding great flanking spots to take out enemies so there won't be unique maps for pve they will be the same ones you're using in pvp when you first load into a mission in xfill you'll hack into one of two available access points to reveal the laptop locations and then make your plan of attack will you try to split up to cover more ground as a squad or will you stick together to cover each other's backs do you plan to sneak through corridors and try to remain undetected for as long as possible so stealth is viable it seems or will you roll up guns blazing to wage war the choice is yours since every level in xfill is like a miniature playground with a wide assortment of options and possible scenarios and then we get another new gif this one of the office again the one that we already knew was coming but we've never seen this before it's got like a new social makers type logo that wasn't in the original so i'd know if it's just like an update to the background or maybe it's a new area of the map once the laptops are revealed they will appear at spawn points from a dynamic set of locations so when you replay levels it's not repetitive so they're not going to be in the same spot every time they're going to move around it remains to be seen now of course how many locations there'll be but it's nice that they put a bit of thought into that into replayability that sounds promising you'll need to be careful in this mode though because the ai patrols are deadly at the start of mission the enemy units won't know your location so they'll simply be preoccupied patrolling around the map once you initiate a hack and start firefights that's when things get more intense my laptop is just going crazy right now reinforcements equipped with various weapons will dynamically converge on your position from around the map in unique ways to keep you on your toes so they'll keep using unique and dynamic they're using that a lot and that's very encouraging for replayability ai enemies also have an assortment of gadgets at their disposal similar to players with the ability to throw grenades lay traps breach rooms by kicking down doors and even deploy c4 charges these aren't your run-of-the-mill ai bots that just run into the line of fire blindly they take cover they flank you and react to your moves intelligently so if this is all true if this works like they're saying it would be a significant leap over what was in fire while zero hour and i might even pull people away from the pvp mode because it could could be a popular thing if you manage to hack all three laptops and secure the intel this is when things escalate you and your squad must make it to the xville zone and hunker down to survive until your evacuation completes so once you get to the zone you have to waste for the extraction to complete and this is when you're under attack so there's multiple steps to this this is the hardest part of the match as enemies converge in your location and give you everything they've got for players that manage to make it out alive they'll be rewarded with in-game currency which is called crypto and hopefully they'll have completed a few black road dealer assignments as well more on that laser so there's two interesting things here the first thing is that for players that manage to make it out alive they get rewarded which kind of implies that the ones who don't make it out alive the ones who died during the mission maybe they get nothing and depending on how long it goes on you know that'll be interesting to see how people react to that maybe they'll still get something i don't know but it's going to be interesting to see how the reward system works for that and then the next thing is this black road dealer assignment which they'll go into more laser they say however if you have to guess i imagine it's going to be like many objectives you know something maybe similar to the contracts or the operations that we had in the original maybe if get 10 headshots or something like that and maybe you can complete an assignment complete guess for bonuses or whatever that would be my guess and then here in the next gif you can see we're back to the oil rig map again where they're making the extraction now interestingly they don't say that the extraction zones are dynamic or whatever so it sounds like it could be the same zone on each map which would make sense for example for this map to have like a helipad and maybe a helicopter comes in who knows but you can see that the squad is making their way to the designated zone it's like highlights it in the yellow square it seems and there is like crates and stuff lying around there so there is some cover there for when presumably waves of ai come to stop them from getting away so firewall ultra is designed as the kind of game you can keep coming back to again and again over time on your psv or two and consistently find something fresh and new to do and see as a live service title that means constant updates with new content such as maps weapons and contractors as well as redesigns for locations like the shooting range and safe house lobby environment so for those wondering what do they mean by redesigns for locations well if you remember firewall zero hour was like for holidays and stuff like that they would decorate the menus and the lobbies and want last to have you know match those themes so it looks like they're planning on doing something similar maybe not just for holidays i don't know we want this to feel like a living breathing world that evolves over time just like the world of firewall ultra is five years into the future from the previous firewall title as time goes on firewall ultra itself will also see changes the waves is almost over since firewall ultra launches exclusively for psv or two on august 24th etc etc etc pre-orders are live now so you can be ready to dive in to the all-new pve xville mode to put your skills to the test or squad up for four v four pvp matches one thing to know is if you have pre-ordered the game like i did you can actually preload it now since yesterday so you can have it ready to go for day one and that's the end of that information i remember a bit disappointed there was no trailer to go along with the xville announcement to see is in action we just got a few gifts sadly plus haven't said that we're just six days away now so i'm not too butthurt over that either let me know what you think in the comments below if you liked what you're hearing about xville mode is it something you're gonna try out now maybe you weren't interested in before but now that you're hearing it's kind of more fleshed out more
