Dontnod Entertainment/E3 2016/News/trailer/Trailers/Vampyr

News by Matt S. Frankly, a name like “Vampyr” is so cliched horror by now that if it wasn’t for the developers I probably wouldn’t have looked at it twice. But this game is by Dontnod, and I devoured every second of this E3 trailer as a result. Related reading:…

News by Matt S. In an otherwise middling E3 show (unless you’re a fan of AAA-blockbusters and eSports), Bethesda confirmed the pre-show rumours that Skyrim Remaster is happening. Related reading: Matt’s review of the original release of Skyrim. This will be released on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, and we’re…

Berserk Warriors both concerns and delights me

News by Matt S. Koei Tecmo has been teasing a brand new Warriors title in the lead up to E3. We had been thinking it might have been based on a western franchise, which naturally led us to stuff like Lord of the Rings and Star Wars, but as it…

We have come to expect a lot from Bethesda, having delivered several of the best games of the last year (in this writer’s opinion) with Fallout 4, Fallout Shelter, Elder Scrolls Online and Doom. So the bar was set pretty high leading up to the company’s second annual Showcase event at…

Retro reflections by Nick H. Having spent a good deal of time with Dark Souls III recently, the idea of good level design has been forefront in my mind. This led me to dig up my copy of Metroid, a game that I first played about a year after its initial…

Mass Effect: Andromeda looks amazing, now how’s about we see some gameplay, EA?

BioWare/E3 2016/EA/mass effect/Mass Effect Andromeda/News/trailer/Trailers

News by Matt S. For the second E3 in a row, EA has opted to simply tease us with Mass Effect Andromeda. We know it’s in development. We know it’s meant to be coming in 2017 (in theory, anyway), but, as you’ll see from this trailer below, we still only…

News by Matt S. The most exciting thing about EA’s rather disappointing showing at E3 this year (in which it promised an awful lot but showed off very little) was its Originals initiative. EA Originals comes on the back of the massive success that Unravel was for the publisher, and…

EA got the E3 ball rolling this year with a series of trailers and announcements dedicated chiefly to its AAA franchises. You know – Star Wars, Mass Effect, Battlefield, and Titanfall. There was one quainter game announcement in the mix, however, it turned out to be among the show’s most impressive.…
