Remember when EA canceled the Visceral Star Wars game and people freaked out about it signalling the death of single-player games? There were reportedly many more problems with work on the Visceral Star Wars game than worries about whether people still want linear games. Now Jorgensen has indicated that the game may not even remain its own dedicated project. “We made the tough decision to shut down that game team and take the parts of that game, and today we’re looking at what we’re going to do

The answer, according to CFO Blake Jorgensen, is so that the game would be true to what makes Star Wars… well, Star Wars. It matters in Star Wars, because Star Wars fans want realism.” “But Star Wars fans may also want to tailor things – a different colored lightsaber, things like that. “The one thing we’re very focused on and they are extremely focused on is not violating the canon of Star Wars. Plus, we can see some amazing (and officially-licensed) twists on Star Wars visuals outside of gam

Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp came out around the world on November 21, and a whole lot of people started playing it. Despite a few days of frustrating server issues, I saw several of my friends and colleagues gladly submerge themselves in the hot new animal camp management simulator over Thanksgiving break. but longevity is even more important for service-based games like Pocket Camp. Personally, every time I start playing Pocket Camp I wonder why I’m not playing Animal Crossing: New Leaf instea

The rest of your day is the Avengers: Infinity War trailer. You’re watching it. You’re fine-toothing through it, frame-by-frame, looking for every single reference and Easter egg you can find.

“The idea of making a WW2 game took everyone completely by surprise. Play well and Patterson is awarded the Medal of Honor, a rewards structure that adds to the game’s replay value.

Medal of Honor was released in October 1999, marketed as “the only game that lets you take on Nazis in WW2”. Indeed, DWI veterans take pleasure in the memory of the Medal of Honor exp

Whatever your response, and however much you enjoyed it (or not), Justice League is the biggest launchpad yet for future DCEU stories. Okay, Justice League might not be able to do anything terribly coherent with any of them itself, but as a starting point for future movies, it’s quite the potent brew.

It’s probably Marvel’s most open secret: superheroes are going to die in Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers 4. Basically, it’s not good news…“We know who we’re allowed to kill, and that’s about it,” Anthony Russo reveals, “I don’t even think Marvel had any ideas about where they would go after [Avengers 3 and 4]. It’s not an end for all of these characters; it’s an end for some of these characters. You don’t hire Brie Larson just to kill her off in a couple of movies, that’s for sure. If Marvel

Star Wars: The Last Jedi is oh-so-nearly here – but that doesn’t mean spoiler lockdown is in full effect. It offers up a mahoosive clue as to who might be switching sides come December.

Last week Bungie admitted it had been slowing XP gains in Destiny 2 for some events after some hardcore fans went all Sherlock Holmes on the data. Bungie then poured a bucket of salt in the wound by upping the amount of XP you need in order to earn levels. The Destiny 2 API has yet to be adjusted to reflect the recent in game change to earned XP. It’s a tense time for Bungie and bad timing to be caught fiddling with XP gains, what with the stink of Star War Battlefront 2’s loot box controversy s

War is hell, but war featuring a shiba inu wearing an army cap over one of its ears? And next year, we’ll get the first new numbered installment since 2011’s Valkyria Chronicles 3.

Other than the Valkyria Revolution spin-off released earlier this year and a remastered version of the first game released in 2016, it’s been a pretty dormant franchise. Valkyria Chronicles 4 will bring anime-infused

The anonymous VFX artist, whose identity was verified by moderators of the DC Cinematic Universe Reddit forum, explained the big problem behind that idea. “[T]he film is found in the edit process, rarely does a director start shooting with the entire film plotted out,” the artist wrote. There isn’t a secret Zach version hidden somewhere. Granted, one VFX artist isn’t going to be privy to all the top-level decisions at Warner Bros., but their insight here makes sense.

While many of us were searching for the best Cyber Monday deals on a games console or 4K television yesterday, Atlus announced the servers for PS3 game Demon’s Souls will shut down on February 28, 2018.

You wait weeks and weeks for something to drop and then it gets teased with all the subtlety of a Hulk smash. Mark Ruffalo and Avengers: Infinity War directors are doing their level best to let us know the trailer is probably (ok, definitely) going to hit this week. He’s already said probably one thing too many about who might be in Avengers: Infinity War and now he simply says “Something big is coming.” You don’t need to be Bruce Banner to figure out what that means.

Forget Star Wars: Battlefront 2 When it comes down to it, there’s only one version of Battlefront worth remembering and reflecting upon. DICE’s more Star Wars Battlefront 1 and 2 have scale, but fail to generate any real friction between opposing forces (despite all that loot box controversy). It doesn’t turn away from the idiocy of the Wilhelm scream, it instead decides to embrace that side of the Star Wars fantasy.
