Yet, your climbing abilities aren’t only for traversal. These skills also come in handy when you’re facing the Colossi themselves. After all, these things are huge – hence the name Colossus – so you have to scale their bodies to reach their weak points. Not many other games allow you to climb enem
A huge part of making a great photo in Skate was the spot; this is also true in games nowadays. This is especially true with No Man’s Sky , and the game’s recent NEXT update from this summer. You do have a viewable avatar now thanks to the NEXT update, but they don’t define the experience in the same way as God of War ’s Kratos or Spider-Man. It is No Man’s Sky ’s environments that are the stars: how you frame each environment defines the tone of the atmosphere. Taking a photo in the nearly endless space may evoke feelings of loneliness, while a view of one of the planet’s gorgeous vistas brings a sense of wonderm
Before moving any more forward with recent photo modes in games, let’s take a step back. The photo modes we know and love today are a pretty recent feature, in the grand scheme of things. Ten years ago, people weren’t clamoring to take in-game pictures; that is, until Skate came along with its “skate.reel” feature. The now-retired skateboarding simulation was the first time I recall wanting to record every moment of my journey to becoming a (fake) pro ska
The nominations for the first ever edition of The Game Awards were unveiled this morning and include the standard set of genre-based categories, a fan category for most anticipated title of 2015 (which mostly includes delayed games) and as a bonus, some love for famous YouTube celebs and eSports teams to help spread the word and bring in the “hardcore” crowd for appro
The 2013 show, co-hosted by Joel McHale ( Community ) was more about the developers and awards, more about new announcements and loving the community. Despite a lot of awkward moments, last year’s event was an improvement over years past but this year, Keighley is out. He and Spike (and owner Viacom) gracefully parted ways (apparently) and instead, Geoff Keighley is hosting a brand new, non-network-reliant game show, simply titled The Game Awards 2014 . And he’s doing it with the backing of Microsoft, Nintendo, Sony and bevvy of top game publish
Marvel’s Spider-Man , No Man’s Sky , God of War : these three games have more in common than just their three-word titles. They have fantastic photo modes and they aren’t the only ones. 2018 has been possibly the best year for taking pictures in your favorite games: whether you’re trying to convey the heavy emotions of the moment, or taking a selfie with the benevolent Shirtless Spider-Man, you can now do that. This simple feature is so beloved, and it’s one that should be implemented in more games moving forw
Even though it is a Nintendo game from The Legend of Zelda franchise, you might be surprised how many elements in Breath of Wild feel familiar. Even if you haven’t played a Zelda game before , you will get invested in this game and you don’t need to be familiar with other games in the ser
Sadie Adler is an outlaw and bounty hunter who joins the Van Der Linde gang in Red Dead Redemption 2 . Rockstar Games describes her as “a widow who is hell-bent on taking revenge upon those who killed her husband. Relentless and afraid of nothing and no one. The wrong woman to cross, but very loyal to those she loves. ” Sadie definitely lives up to this reputation and proves to be a great fighter alongside Arthur throughout many of the game’s most memorable missi
With the nominations coming before the year’s end, we’re faced with the usual issue of not all of 2014’s titles being included (like Ubisoft’s The Crew ) but at least they got in the most recent two-three weeks which includes the largest batch of high profile releases. The deadline for eligible entrants was games released by November 25th. On the Canadian Videogame Awards front, the date of nomination eligibility was much earlier and meant that some of the year’s biggest titles ( Assassin’s Creed Shadows Updates|Https://creedshadowgame.com/ Creed Unity, Dragon Age: Inquisition, Far Cry 4, etc. ) didn’t make the
This year has been really great for photo modes in games, and I wouldn’t be surprised to see it included in some of the more annualized games, most notably in sports games. I wanted to see if I could take alright photos with FIFA 19 and Madden NFL 19 ’s replay functions; it turns out you kind of
We have no idea what’s going on with the Spike VGX this year or even if there will be one. The annual celebrity-fueled, ad-hungry video games event was consistently chock full of controversy and disdain from the gamer community which is why last year host and producer Geoff Keighley helped re-brand the Spike Video Game Awards into the Spike VGX. It was a ratings success but still begged the question of whether it should contin
