The world itself has the personality of Mad Max (conveniently another Avalanche-developed title) and the currently-dormant Borderlands series. On the one hand, the world is tough, machismo, and gritty. The weak aren’t surviving in post-apocalyptic Earth, and most people are actively devolving into their worst traits–the sadists and masochists rule the world in a barely-contained soci
Even without Sony this year, E3 2019 continued to deliver big trailers, major surprises, and a wealth of new information regarding many of the biggest and highly anticipated releases from companies like Bethesda, Ubisoft, Microsoft, and more. Unlike last year, not a lot of studios opted to show gameplay in their trailers, meaning the majority of what people saw at the show was CG. Whether that’s due to the upcoming next generation of consoles or the hesitancy to show something too early is anyone’s gu
You’d think that this is where the story ended, but there was another twist. Players who wanted to get their hands on an actual canvas bag had to venture into the support section of Bethesda’s website and fill out a form requesting the replacement. Upon doing this, they were shocked to discover that they began receiving the private information of other people who had also filled out the f
Bethesda’s position was worsened when it came out that it had in fact produced canvas bags, but that they didn’t go into the collector’s editions. Instead, these durable canvas rucksacks were given out to influencers who were presented with the free Fallout 76 goodies at a Bethesda ev
I’ve already seen some people expressing concerns about more platforming being implemented in doom eternal walkthrough|https://doometernalplay.com/ Eternal but I don’t think there’s anything to be nervous about. If anything, the only reason I didn’t love these brief platforming areas was because they seemed to break up the flow of combat a bit. The actual movement felt really precise and f
RAGE 2 is incomparable with other post-apocalyptic games coming out this year, and looking to shake up the formula. Merging open-world gameplay with break-neck close combat action, the game will scratch a DOOM itch while we wait for DOOM Eternal . However, Avalanche Studios is setting up to evolve how we look at combat in a modern open-world FPS, and you should be exci
One of, if not the biggest name at E3 2019 was CD Projekt RED’s ambitious open world title, Cyberpunk 2077 . The CG trailer introduced fans to the male version of V, showed off plenty of new story elements, and finally gave people an actual release date for the game. With one of the biggest questions now answered, the studio upped the ante even further by announcing the inclusion of Johnny Silverhand played by none other than Keanu Reev
Unlike DOOM , Avalanche’s title makes waves by throwing in diversity in actual gameplay–you aren’t always wandering around shooting monsters or soldiers. I spent a good chunk of my time just exploring the in-game city, talking to some of the city’s survivors, and taking part in some drag-racing for clo
French video game company Bigben Interactive may not be the most noteworthy publisher at E3 2019, but the company has been around since the early 80’s, making it one of the oldest video game companies in the industry. Arguably the most noteworthy game Bigben will showcase at E3 2019 is The Sinking City , a horror game based on the mind-bending works of H.P. Lovecr
Marvel’s Avengers did what most popular games at E3 do: it used a behind closed doors gameplay presentation to clear up a lot of the confusion around the game. With almost a year to go until the game releases, there is still plenty more for Crystal Dynamics to reveal (and polish) but our early look at the game left us with the impression that this could be something special for Marvel fans. Not as expansive as Marvel’s Spider-Man , but thoughtful enough to do Earth’s Mightiest Heroes just
At its own EA Play E3 2019 event, Electronic Arts gave fans their first real look at Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order on Saturday at EA Play. However, a day later during Microsoft’s press conference, a new trailer was shown off revealing gameplay moments from the lengthy demo as well as new footage of Cal not previously seen. Plenty of story details were also strewn in throughout including the game’s many support characters like the rebel Saw Gerrera , who many Star Wars fans will remember from other media such as films, TV, and com
Playing as any character is the main selling point of Watch Dogs Legion , but that will only get the game so far. It’s the introduction of new classes, a perk system that makes each character unique, and a ton of new gadgets/hacking options that help bring Watch Dogs ’ brand of technological mayhem into the near future. In some ways, it may seem like more Watch Dogs , but Legion left an impression with the promise of an experience that will feel uniquely your
If there is one area where things do get a bit disjointed or broken up though, it comes with some of the platforming and traversal additions that have come to DOOM Eternal . The demo that I saw had a few areas where you’d need to jump between different rocky platforms with demons awaiting you on each. To get to some of these different spots you would have to sometimes wall climb, walk onto a device that would shoot you into the air, or just simply jump and dash in mid-
