Well my life is officially complete. Alongside every other Final Fantasy fan around the world, I’m sure we all feel unanimously the same; FFXV will be epic beyond measure. On stage, a live-gameplay E3 exclusive mission was shown off, of the Titan summon in game, being taken out by Noctis and his group. Noctis has…
For those of you that don’t know, a Skyrim Remaster was announced at Bethesda’s E3 press event yesterday, touting improved graphics, console mod support, and including up-to-date DLC. What wasn’t initially considered as we gawped at the on-screen improvements and over-hyped atmosphere however (I’m going to coin the hashtag term here: #e3fever), was whether or…
Dishonored 2 dropped in on us yesterday during Bethesda’s E3 press conference. Known for its amazing art style and dynamic gameplay, the first Dishonored brought critical acclaim and loyal fandom from the first moment it set step in the PC gaming community. Its design the result of certain key developers and coming at just the…
Below are some screenshots from the Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim – Special Edition Trailer. Updated with the latest graphical effects, modding support in the same style as Fallout 4, and versions for both Xbox One and Playstation 4, the remastered Skyrim improves on the original in every way. The game has been played for years…
Bethesda will be updating their current, more recent games with VR capabilities, with support for HTC Vive specifically mentioned. Games mentioned were Doom and Fallout 4, with more expected. The company’s history when John Carmack was investigating VR with Doom 3 BFG Edition was mentioned, which was when Carmack tackled a lot of the problems…
Doom is getting premium DLC, as well as updates to the SnapMap tool, with new theme sets and objects, as well as new game logic options. Doom will also be free for this week, to let players see what all the fuss is about. So go download Doom and see what you think of it,…
Titanfall 2 kicks off EA’s press event, with Vince Zampella announcing Titanfall 2’s new details. There will be 6 new titans with unique abilities (we saw a blast/heat ray towards the end of the gameplay footage), more customisation options (we assume for both Titan and Soldier?), a new progression system, grapple hooks, and a new single-player campaign. The…
EA’s press event is already kicking off, and things haven’t even started, and we’ve already had a sneaky glimpse at an impressive Titanfall 2 display. Here’s some screenshots of the display being put up at EA’s press event this evening (UK Time!) of a Titanfall 2 statue. This looks to be one of the nimbler…
Uh oh! Titfanfall 2’s latest trailer has dropped before it was formally/officially shown in EA’s press event. Accidental slipup, or intentional to generate some hype to get people watching the stream? Who knows, but there’s awesome Titan robot-mechs fighting with swords! #ibelieveinninjarobots2016
Unsatisfied with tarnishing what little reputation/respect I have and labelling myself as an Ecchi Weeaboo/J-Phile with my review of Dead or Alive: Xtreme 3, I’ve decided to return to the fray with a similarly scandalously-clad title, Senran Kagura: Shinovi Versus. Originally a PS Vita sequel to a 3DS game, Shinovi Versus has now been re-released on the PC….
Hooray, my first click-bait opinion piece! Actually, I’m quite serious about what I’m stating in the title, and jokes aside, this is an ethical issue which has been as prominent and well-debated as the whole corruption in video game journalism issue. Behind review blacklistings and embargos, exclusive access review “donations” in return for good review scores,…
What would you get, if you combined elements of the Thief series, Prince of Persia, and Superhot? Well, Frozenbyte’s interpretation of this seems to permeate itself within Shadwen. Here you’ll find Superhot‘s time control mechanic alongside the rewind mechanic of Prince of Persia, mixed with gadgets, stealth, and trap elements of the Thief series. Holistically speaking, what…
Like most University degrees, the end of my third year in Computer Games Design had its success rely substantially on the production and submission of a final thesis/dissertation to my lecturers. The decision of what to write about was a no-brainer for me, as I’d spent over seven years at that point producing Machinima, so the topic…
My experience with CTU: Counter Terrorism Unit is a strange mixture that includes brief moments of promise and a glimpse of what could have been, and the sobering realisation of what it actually is. Having fond memories of early 2000s gaming with games like Rainbow Six and playing online with friends in a coordinated manner,…
I’ll comfortably admit right off the bat that the Xtreme Beach Volleyball spin-offs of the Dead or Alive series have always been a guilty pleasure of mine. Aside from the misogynistic controversy that always accompanies them, the games in isolation have a certain charm which can only be found in these sorts of quirky and niche…
Since Final Fantasy XV is right around the corner and we’ve just had a taste of the final game with the Final Fantasy XV Platinum Demo, we thought we’d take a look over the franchise’s history and decide what our Top 10 favourite Final Fantasy summons are. For those that don’t know what a summon…
NightCry began its life as “Project Scissors” via a Kickstarter campaign, whose success is mostly owed to the presence of development staff such as Hifumi Kono (Clocktower series), Takashi Shimizu (The Grudge), and Masahiro Ito (environment/monster designer for early Silent Hill titles). Initially conceived by Hifumi-san as a sequel to the Clocktower series directly, he…
All of the recent Virtual Reality buzz being discussed in the media has been massively focused on the war between mainly the Oculus Rift and the HTC Vive; maybe with a little Samsung Gear VR thrown in here and there. All throughout the war between the two dominating behemoths of Virtual Reality, there’s been a…
When you’re dealing with giant, robot-like space gods, betrayed by one of their brothers and locked away for all of eternity, who come to seek revenge and destroy all life forms created under their brother’s rule along with their civilisations, there’s very little room for messing things up as far as these types of games…
I’m a massive Final Fantasy fan. It’s the main reason why I got so involved with gaming at an early age. Whilst there’s no doubt that I would have become much more invested in gaming at some point in the future, Final Fantasy VII was my early gateway into what the world of video games…
