Vizrt TriCaster Users: This is Viz Flowics – Videoguys

LetsPlay.Live (LPL), a prominent Oceania-based gaming and esports company, has successfully elevated its international esports tournaments with the seamless integration of Viz Flowics and TriCaster. This strategic alliance has empowered LPL to overcome the complexities inherent in producing and broadcasting esports events across diverse game genres, including MOBA and first-person shooters.

LPL’s impressive track record includes organizing high-profile tournaments like the LPL Clash Royale World Tour and VALORANT Challengers Oceania 2023. These events garnered substantial global audiences, with the Clash Royale World Tour achieving a remarkable 69,000 live views over a 13-hour span and the VALORANT Challengers Oceania 2023 streaming for 209 hours, accumulating over 834,000 live views and 564,000 unique viewers.

The integration of TriCaster TC1 and Viz Flowics proved pivotal for LPL, especially during the intensive deployment for the LPL Clash Royale World Tour 2023. With the ability to create multiple global feeds and multi-language versions of streams, this dynamic duo provided the flexibility and scalability necessary for LPL’s transition from regional to a global, multi-regional esports broadcasting leader.

TriCaster TC1, utilized by LPL since 2018, served as the foundation for the integration, and the addition of Viz Flowics seamlessly addressed the need for a graphics solution supporting remote operations. This integration facilitated the creation of custom control panels, enabling efficient resource allocation to offshore talent, producers, and translators. The result was the production of multi-language versions of shows with fully translated graphics, adhering to global brand guidelines.

Daniel Klinac, Head of Broadcasting at LetsPlay.Live, emphasized the game-changing impact of the TriCaster and Viz Flowics integration. This alliance not only provided flexibility and ease of use but also unlocked a world of possibilities, positioning LPL as a global esports broadcasting leader. This successful integration has cemented LPL’s status among industry leaders, allowing them to deliver captivating esports experiences to enthusiasts worldwide.

Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 New Game Plus, Audio Descriptions Delayed To Next Year

Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 is one of the biggest successes of the year, but it launched missing a few features present in Insomniac’s two prior Spidey games. The biggest omission was New Game Plus, but Insomniac assured fans it would come in an update to the game before the end of the year. Unfortunately, the developer won’t be able to hit that deadline, as it posted this update on social media yesterday.

Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 New Game Plus, Audio Descriptions Delayed To Next Year

 In case the image doesn’t load, the text reads as follows:

 Hey Web-Heads,

We have some news about the next game update for Marvel’s Spider-Man 2. We know players have been eagerly awaiting features such as New Game+ and Audio Descriptions, among many more. We have been working vigilantly on these features and require more testing to ensure the quality is up to our standards.

We are now targeting Early 2024 for the next game update, and we’ll have a feature-complete list closer to its release. We’ve heard your feedback and will be adding some highly requested features, including the ability to change the time of day, swap tendril colors, and replay missions – just to name a few!

We can’t wait to share more with you in the future. In the meantime, we appreciate your patience as our team works to finish our next update for Marvel’s Spider-Man 2!

Thanks,

Insomniac Games

 As the statement mentions, the update will also include other returning features, like the ability to replay missions and change the time of day, along with the option to swap symbiote tendril colors. It also mentions that a “feature-complete” list will be available closer to the update’s release, which implies there are more features Insomniac has yet to mention. Whatever the case, we’ll learn more in early 2024.

If you’re looking for a reason to revisit Spider-Man 2, you’re likely not alone – it’s been regarded as one of the best games of the year and was nominated for several Game Awards. You can read our glowing review here, read my opinion piece about Miles Morales here, or see where it stacks up against other games with “Spider-Man 2” in the title right here.

Lords Of The Fallen ‘Season Of Revelry’ Includes New Quests, Weapons, Spells, Armor, And More

Developer Hexworks and publisher CI Games have launched the Season of Revelry in its RPG Soulslike, Lords of the Fallen. This festive update includes new quests, weapons, armor, spells, snowball fights, and more, and it’s available right now. Plus, it’s only part one of this free two-part update, with Trial of the Three Spirits launching next week on December 21. 

Lords Of The Fallen ‘Season Of Revelry’ Includes New Quests, Weapons, Spells, Armor, And More

As for what to expect in this Season of Revelry part one update, which Hexworks is calling Offerings of Orius, it includes quite a lot: 

  • Six new spells: These spells include Immolation, Radiant Shield Throw, and Holy Arrow Shot. 
  • Three new projectiles: Players can now throw Blood Vomit, Explosive Mines, and Frost Worms at foes from a distance.
  • New boss weapon abilities: Players can now unlock powerful abilities for all boss weapons obtained after defeating bosses. 
  • Seasonal decorations: Hexworks says the Vestiges of Mournstead (the bonfires of this game, essentially) have been adorned with festive decorations for the Season of Revelry. 
Lords of the Fallen 2023 Season of Revelry Update Patch New Quests Weapons Armor Spells

On December 21, the Trial of the Three Spirits update will go live. It includes three new questlines, three new armor sets, and three new weapons, each representing one of three gods: Orius’ Radiance, Adyr’s Rhogars, and the mysterious Umbral. Plus, players will be able to change their character’s name, body shape and gender, skin tone, hair color, and other physical attributes, but only after completing a new quest to find the shards of the Mirror of Distortion. 

Elsewhere in the Trial of the three Spirits, players will be able to use new Grievous Attacks. Hexworks says every family of weapon has two unique finishers – one for single-handed wielding and one for dual wielding. Another community-sought request coming in this update is a storage box that allows players to deposit up to 2000 items in the Skyrest Bridge Coffer. 

Finally, players will be able to rebind gamepad buttons starting with the Trial of the Three Spirits update, and they can launch snowballs at enemies and invaders using the new Snowball throwable.
