E3/E3 2018/EA Originals/Sea of Solitude

News by Harvard L. A day before E3 I saw a tweet jokingly asking that the only thing they want to see at this year’s convention was genuine human emotion. Thanks to Cornelia Geppert and Jo-Mei Games, the team behind Sea of Solitude, we not only got that, we got…

E3/E3 2018/Sable/Shedworks/wasteland

News by Harvard L. We’ve seen our fair share of wastelands this E3, from urban, to nuclear, to zombified, but none could be described as beautiful until now. There are few games on show this year which are truly eye-catching, and then along comes Sable which expresses the simple joy…

Video by Matt S. Okay, so we now have the first details of Dead of Alive 6, and one of the very first things the game producer said about it is that Koei Tecmo has taken big steps to tone down the sex. Meanwhile, they’ve massively upped the violence, what…

News by Clark A. That J-Stars Victory VS got a worldwide release was a miracle. Watching decades of manga characters from Shounen Jump magazine duke it out is the stuff dreams are made of. Despite the all the ingredients for delicious fanservice seeming to be in place, though, our editor-in-chief…

News by Lindsay M. This is the second year for Devolver’s Digital E3 event, and last year’s was certainly something so we’re pretty amped for the sarcasm and cool games! Devolver’s digital event begins with a bang — err, a crack? — and some jabs at traditional press conferences. This…

E3/E3 2018/Microsoft Xbox One

News by Lindsay M. It’s the beginning of the second day of four that consist of various E3 press conferences and digital events, and here to start things off is the Xbox Briefing, which I really believe is more of a “Microsoft” briefing now. We expect very little surprise from…

News by Lindsay M. It’s that time of year again, the time when we at DDnet cover E3 while silently wishing it were time for TGS. That being said, EA often offers some stellar indie titles and it is promising two announcements in this event alone. Related reading: Catch up…

This is not a drill! Dead or Alive 6 has been announced!

Dead or Alive/Dead or Alive 6/News/trailer/Trailers

News by Matt S. Koei Tecmo has announced Dead or Alive 6. We all knew it was coming, but now we have a trailer and stuff. And it looks good. Weirdly enough, though, it doesn’t focus on the sexiness, which is, of course, Dead or Alive’s hallmark. Instead, from this…
