The collaborator, a man named Louis Metz, apparently has a bit of a drinking problem that leads to other excesses, as the leader of the local resistance cell, the fiercely determined, Medal of Honor reoccurring character Manon Batiste, explains as she shares information in a briefing alongside her younger sister, Juliette who is a spy working for the German “Lightning Girls” and improvised demolitions expert Marcel. The first mission in this new assignment takes the player to the Normandy region of France to assist The Resistance with tracking down a collaborator whom they have been blackmailing for information. Interestingly, the player has the option to decline the offer by giving a thumbs-down gesture.
After the introductory sequence, which let’s be far is really nothing more than a place to introduce Ollie and Sarge, two of the numerous characters that appear in the single player story, the player wakes in a military bunker on a medical bed to the arrival of an officer of the Office of Strategic Services who wishes to draft the Lieutenant into their ranks. Available from the Steam and Oculus stores, albeit at the staggering price of $60, official VR headset support lists Oculus Rift-S, Oculus Quest 2 (with Oculus Link cable), HTC Vive, and Valve Index.Ībove and Beyond doesn’t stray too far from most of the other games in the series, following the story of a US Army Lieutenant in World War II after their heroic reinforcement of Allied units in a battle that was implicitly not going so well in Tunisia. Released just last Friday, Above and Beyond features a strong single-player narrative and fast-paced multiplayer action from developer Respawn Entertainment and publisher Electronic Arts.
#NEW MEDAL OF HONOR GAME SERIES#
Medal of Honor: Above and Beyond is the latest title and the first ever game exclusive to VR of the long-running and mainly "World War II"-based Medal of Honor series which began in 1999 with the original Medal of Honor for Playstation. I will leave the original article intact despite some of my issues having been fixed.īecause it’s Medal of Honor: Above and Beyond. And the mini documentaries that were previously unlocked after each level are now unlocked from the beginning. The ping sound from an ejected Garand clip is now louder. Picking up weapons from the rack in the Quartermaster's area will now be easier. The heavy segmentation brought on by the "Victory!" screens that appear after each sub-mission are being removed.
#NEW MEDAL OF HONOR GAME UPDATE#
We saw the game earlier in the week and will have a preview and interview shortly.UPDATE 12-15: Just this morning, I read that an update for Above and Beyond is coming down that addresses a lot of the complaints I and others have had about the game. Meanwhile, Battlefield 3 Premium has 2.9 million subscribers and has generated over $108 million in sales.įinally Fuse, the co-op shooter previously known as Overstrike – by Ratchet & Clank developer Insomniac, has been delayed until sometime between April and June. Other titbits include the fact that FIFA 13 has now sold over 12 million copies, 23 per cent up on last year. The reason EA was talking to investors is that they’ve just announced their new financial results, with revenues of $1.18 billion coming in below their estimates of $1.25 to 1.35 billion. It may be a while till we find out what’s going on though, and what will happen to Medal Of Honor developer Danger Close, as this year Battlefield 4 is due to be released – it’s assumed on both current generation consoles and the new Xbox 720 and PlayStation 4.
They specifically told investors that there wouldn’t be a new Battlefield every year, but that doesn’t necessarily mean spin-off Bad Company won’t be taking Medal Of Honor’s place in alternate years.Īlthough hopefully it’ll be something brand new – perhaps the still be unveiled new franchise from Call Of Duty creators Respawn Entertainment. But clearly EA has plans for another shooter during Battlefield off-years. This means that Medal Of Honor will no longer be out every other year, in rotation with a new Battlefield.
