What To Expect: The presentation will focus mostly on the single player campaign for Battlefield: Hardline - an episodic story that puts players in the shoes of beat cop Nick Mendoza and takes them from the grit of LA to the glam of Mi
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
On hand for the panel were Deus Ex: Human Revolution screenwriter C. Robert Cargill, Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun Li writer Justin Marks, Blur Studio's Tim Miller, Producer Adrian Askarieh, EA Entertainment VP Patrick O'Brien, and Mortal Kombat: Legacy Director Kevin Tancharoen — a group that is well equipped to talk about video game movies past, present, and fut
It's October, which means the biggest video games of the season are upon us. Call of Duty WWII , Star Wars Battlefront II , Middle-earth: Shadow of War , Super Mario Odyssey , and Assassin's Creed Origins are just a few of the many heavy hitters vying for the attention of consumers this holiday sea
Loot crates are everywhere. Overwatch uses them in a way which keeps players coming back for more, month after month click to find out more enjoy themselves and try to win exclusive goodies, but Shadow of War pokes and taunts the player with a dirge of endless boredom until they either persevere or pony up to see the game's true ending. Last year, Gears of War 4 found itself in hot water with the fans after its own overpriced loot box system led to the Horde Mode being effectively Pay to Win . Meanwhile, Forza Motorsport 7 is in trouble for changing the system from Forza 6 to lean harder than ever on its Prize Crates and Mod Cards. Even Destiny 2 has received flak for changing its shaders from unlimited-use items to consumables which can be purchased in cra
Conan Exiles is a survival game set in the world of Conan The Barbarian. You must avoid dying of starvation and dehydration while also trying not to get killed by other players or the dangerous creatures that roam the la
Overall, the panel was focused on the potential of video game movies rather than showing any footage. However, if you are looking forward to either the Shadow of the Colossus or Dead Space movies, there are a few reasons to be exci
In the game, you can stick to and climb any surface. Also, if you land on a building at the correct angle, you can even sprint up it. As the game takes place in New York City, there are all sorts of tall buildings for you to sc
As Justin Marks explained, the Shadow of the Colossus film will pare the eponymous hulking creatures down to 3 or maybe even 1. While fans would likely want to see the game lifted whole cloth, seeing 16 consecutive colossi battles might have been exhaust
Throughout Shadow Of The Colossus , you travel across expansive worlds, looking for a Colossus to take down. Along the way, you often have to get past some large obstacles. Thankfully, the protagonist is an excellent climber, meaning you're able to scale just about anything as long as you have enough stam
While it’s a very linear experience The Order 1886 is an entertaining and cinematic ride from start to finish. It has a similar visual style Assassin’s Creed: Syndicate and genuinely interesting premise and l
While the panel didn't feature anything too revelatory, besides an update on Cargill's approach to adapting Deus Ex , it was an interesting look into the process of developing video game movies. Patrick O'Brien was perhaps the most candid about the process, and it makes sense considering he has two movies ( Dead Space and Need for Speed ) in active developm

That's what EA did with Need for Speed and it's what they are doing with Dead Spa
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
Middle-earth: Shadow of War , published by Warner Brothers Interactive Entertainment, is out now on PS4, Xbox One, and PC, and this predominantly single player game features loot boxes. Throughout the game, players recruit an army of Orcs, enough to see them through to the end of the main story. Orcs can also be purchased with real money via loot boxes, but they're not immediately necessary. After the main quest is completed, the player is presented with an endgame story arc which blocks progression until the player can amass an insanely powerful army of high-level Orcs. The player is essentially given a choice on how they will reach Shadow of War 's true ending: pay up for premium followers, or face the grueling grind to conquer Middle-earth, slowly leveling up Orcs in a seemingly endless l
