All eyes were on Bethesda’s E3 2017 showcase, with expectations for a number of new games to be officially confirmed by the publisher. From the off, new games were being announced, but Bethesda waited until a little into the showcase to unveil what many fans had been hoping for – confirmation of Wolfenstein 2: The New Colossus. Wolfenstein 2: The New Colossus is currently set to launch on 27 October, 2017. Of course, this trailer has been something fans of the Wolfenstein franchise have been wai

Previews and demos of Destiny 2 have shown off the new Dawnblade Warlock subclass, but as promised, Bungie is showing off another fresh subclass to Destiny 2—the Hunter Arcstrider. The Arcstrider will replace Destiny 1‘s Bladedancer as the Hunter’s Arc-based subclass. Instead the Arcstrider has the same jump abilities as the other Hunter subclasses. Like the Bladedancer, it is a roaming Super where the Hunter summons a staff of lightning and engages enemies in close-quarters combat. For those un

After teasing that the Fallout 4 VR E3 2017 demo will “blow your mind,” Bethesda has finally showed its hand by unveiling the reveal trailer for the upcoming VR version of the studio’s mega-popular post-apocalyptic RPG. Scheduled for launch in 2017 for the HTC Vive, the one and a half minute reveal trailer offers up a brand new perspective at Fallout 4‘s Boston Commonwealth. Interestingly, the trailer features an appearance from Fallout 4‘s most powerful NPC Liberty Prime, suggesting that Fallou

It seems like the company is ready to try to meet both ideas halfway, as Bethesda has officially announced an e-shop called the Creation Club for both Fallout 4 and Skyrim Special Edition. Since the creators of these items and gameplay enhancements work hand-in-hand with Bethesda to build these items, Bethesda promises compatibility and achievement support across all save games for every download. The Creation Club is due to come out this summer, although an exact release date has yet to be anno

Update: The Conference has ended, but you can watch the full event by skipping to the 2:59:00 mark in the video below. For the third year in a row, Bethesda will host its own press conference, or showcase as the studio likes to call it. In other words, Bethesda is holding a press conference, that much is true, but what will be at that conference is a little less so. Will Be There: Fallout VR, Quake ChampionsFallout VR will make an appearance during the press conference and could get a release da

Destiny 2 will set aside the mysterious malevolent force known as The Darkness and instead focus on The Light and the Guardians’ relationship with it, as well as the new Cabal villain Dominus Ghaul. While The Darkness isn’t going away from the franchise entirely, it’s not being dealt with in Destiny 2. We’re exploring the relationship between the player and the Ghost in terms of Light, and Ghaul’s coveting of the Light. Or was it a specific enemy race that was never actually seen in Destiny 1? I

Earlier this week a report was published suggesting that Xbox One players barely play backward compatible Xbox 360 games. Data collected using the Xbox Live API seemed to reveal that less than 2% of Xbox One usage was spent playing the older titles. Microsoft has now issued a statement slamming that data as “grossly inaccurate” among other things. Unfortunately, though, this still doesn’t mean that the backward compatible games saga has ended. Microsoft also hit back at Sony’s stance on backward

One of the most surprising announcements that originated from Xbox’s E3 2017 press conference was a confirmation that original Xbox titles will soon be backward compatible on Xbox One. Indeed, it was a revelation that very few fans saw coming, but it would appear that Hyperkin was already hard at work on preparing for just such a reveal – as the company has confirmed plans to resurrect The Duke on Xbox One. Those that owned the original Xbox console may recall that its controller was lovingly re

During the Xbox E3 Briefing this year, Microsoft announced a new game called The Last Night coming exclusively to Xbox One. The Last Night is an indie title and the first outing for developer Odd Tales Games. Those who love cyberpunk may want to pay attention to this one, as it is giving off serious Blade Runner vibes. Here’s the trailer for the game, which features a mashup of 2D action and beautiful 3D environments:The Last Night is being touted as having a two-dimensional cyberpunk open world

And what fans saw in the gameplay footage was quite surprising: facial animations potentially good enough to remedy the missteps of Mass Effect: Andromeda. The blink-and-you’ll-miss-it moment was so nuanced, it brought about images of the early footage of Mass Effect: Andromeda and its high-quality facial animations. When Mass Effect: Andromeda was released back in March 2017, the reaction was one of confusion that quickly turned to mockery. A few months post-launch, BioWare employees spoke to g

At its E3 2017 Xbox Briefing, Microsoft officially unveiled the Xbox One X (previously codenamed Project Scorpio) by giving the console a release date, full specs, and a price. The Xbox One X will release on November 7, 2017 and it will retail for $499. What’s likely most striking about the Xbox One X is how small it is compared to today’s powerhouse consoles. Some might have hoped the Xbox One X would include an Xbox One Elite controller, especially given the price tag, but that does not appear

EA’s E3 2017 press conference featured Star Wars Battlefront 2 in a big way but fans sorely missed Visceral’s untitled Star Wars game. Given that EA Motive’s general manager has called the Visceral Star Wars game ‘groundbreaking,’ it seems that the love is mutual. At Star Wars celebration last year, Hennig revealed that the game would tell an original Star Wars story, featuring new characters, creatures, locations and more. So it’s understandable that many are disappointed at the suggestion that

More E3 2017 leaks have apparently revealed assets from Ori and the Blind Forest‘s as-yet unannounced sequel, Ori and the Will of the Wisps. These are likely official assets stemming from Microsoft’s upcoming E3 2017 press conference. According to Indiannoobs, an anonymous Twitter user forwarded over a photo of Ori and the Will of the Wisps‘ title screen and mentioned that the game would debut during Microsoft’s E3 2017 press conference. There’s no real evidence to indicate that an Ori sequel co

Luckily, fans won’t have to wait long at all to learn whether or not this Forza Motorsport 7 leak is legitimate. Microsoft’s E3 2017 press conference is scheduled to begin at 2:00pm Pacific later today, at which time the game’s release date and other details should be revealed. One thing fans can likely look forward to learning is how Forza Motorsport 7 will be enhanced by Project Scorpio. In the meantime, fans can study the leaked screenshots for any additional clues as to what Forza Motorsport

Ever since the reveal of Microsoft’s Project Scorpio at E3 2016 last year, industry insiders and analysts have been speculating on what the next generation console could look like – and, more importantly, what it could cost. Apparently, however, it has ended thanks to Geoff Keighley, the creator of the Game Awards and the man behind the new E3 Coliseum event that will happen later during E3 2017’s festivities. Geoff took to Twitter to make a sudden and very intriguing announcement:I can now say

The professional Overwatch team Selfless is down one player, as Tracer and Soldier: 76 main Dafran has been indefinitely suspended from the team due to his actions on Twitch, such as trying to convince his fans to throw Competitive Play games. Dafran’s team Selfless will still be able to compete in the game’s first season of professional play, but the team will have to find a substitute. In a statement, Selfless has promised to help Dafran get help so that he may one day return to the team and c

During its E3 2017 press conference yesterday, EA revealed the first Need for Speed Payback gameplay footage. It seems like fans aren’t the only ones who though that the slow-motion crashes in the Need for Speed Payback trailer are just like Burnout. A new Burnout game has not been released since Criterion’s small-scale spin-off Burnout Crash! Few would complain if Burnout Paradise was an inspiration for the new Need for Speed game, especially since Ghost Games has also promised to make some key

Skate 4 was not announced during EA’s E3 2017 press conference yesterday, much to fans’ disappointment. Rumors and speculation about the game’s development have been growing ever since an EA community manager tweeted out a Skate 4 hashtag earlier this year. On social media, fans have made it pretty clear that they are heartbroken that EA didn’t make any mention of Skate 4 during its presser. After the community manager’s Twitter tease, EA stated that Skate 4 is not in development, but many still

Starting today, Microsoft will drop the price of the Xbox One S by $50, allowing players to get their hands on the newest Xbox hardware for cheaper than ever before. This price cut comes just hours before the highly-anticipated reveal of Project Scorpio which is expected to be coming during today’s E3 presentation. Other accounts online claim that the Scorpio could be revealed as the Xbox S, a name that seems just a little confusing when considering that the original Xbox, and the Xbox One S are

With Bethesda’s E3 Showcase scheduled for later today, it seems that an early posting for a Reddit advertisement might just have cost the developer the element of surprise. According to the ads which have been spotted my multiple users on Reddit, the sequel to 2014’s The Evil Within will be available for pre-order immediately following the reveal at E3 later today. How will you survive?” or “From survival horror mastermind Shinji Mikami comes The Evil Within 2. The only way out is in.”Expectatio
