The studio is ‘heavily invested in the Titanfall universe’ It’s no secret thatTitanfall 2faced tough competition when it released last October. Respawn Entertainment has been great about delivering free content updates ever since — we just got aco-op horde mode! — and that has left fans wondering where the studio goes from here. What’s next? “The game was successful, it sold well, but it didn’t quite sell as well as it should have,” Respawn CEO Vince Zampella toldGameSpot....

Fezis the kind of game that a girl who does a retro podcast goes to sleep and dreams about: 2D look with a bit of 3D mixed in, bleepy music, and a totally innovative look with no regard whatsoever for keeping in step with the pressures of next-gen gaming. To say I want it bad would be a vast understatemen, as I’m looking forward to this game more than I am titles with ten times its budget....

All my years of watching samurai films with my father have led me to the arrival ofRise of the Ronin. But instead of watching everything unfold, it is I who wields the sword, and boy, does it feel good. It’s been a while since I’ve rekindled the magic of an old-fashioned adventure, hunting down some big bad. And fortunately,Rise of the Ronindelivers even if I have yet to reach the endgame....

‘You have come! You have come to hear the word of the sweet roll!’ Prior to the launch ofThe Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Editionfor PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC, Bethesda teamed up with the Sydney-based Bourke Street Bakery to produce limited-run batches of sweet rolls that would be used to advertise the new ports of the publisher’s five-year-old role-playing game. While these sweet rolls were initially only given away at select bakeries in Sydney, on each day of PAX Australia in Melbourne, the first 1,000 attendees were given these cakes to consume while lining up for the convention....

Looking to the skies to save me Sega and Microsoft announced that they have entered a “strategic alliance” that will enable Sega to explore the development of major video games via Microsoft’s cloud gaming platform, Azure. The alliance, which appears to form at least a part of Sega’s recent “Super Game” initiative, will along the developer to explore new opportunities via its range of globally recognized IPs and franchises. “With the world now more connected than ever following the widespread deployment of 5G and cloud services in recent years, consumers can more easily enjoy high-quality entertainment content at any time,”said Sega said of the new endeavor....

STALKER 2: Heart of Chornobylhas no shortage of guns to choose from. But, thanks to GSC’s curious attempt at balancing an MP5 with a Dragunov, not all of them are as potent as you expect them to be. Here are the bestSTALKER 2guns, bar none. Indeed, after spending about four dozen (don’t judge me) playingSTALKER 2in its vanilla and modded versions, I’ve been able to locate just about all the weapons there are in this game....

Something something a lot of money Star Citizen’sreally not having a good time as of late, especially if recent rumours are to be believed. First, the FPS moduleStar Marinewasput on hold/delayed, and now it looks like the executive producer has left the project. Cloud Imperium Games’ executive producer (maybe with an emphasis on the ‘ex’) Alex Mayberry’sLinkedIn pagelists him working at the studio only up to June 2015. You have to manually add in an ending date on LinkedIn, which means it’s less likely this is an error....

$5/month for 5 days in advance If you’re dropping the five bones per month (get you, Mr. Moneybags; some of us need that $5 for carrots to make soup) onEA Access(Xbox One only), you’ll get to play 10 total hours of the upcomingStar Wars Battlefront. Access is good for all portions of the game (single-player and multi-player) and the clock ticks whenever you have the game open, including in menus. Perhaps even more tantalizing, as folks seem to really care about how soon they get to play new games, this access starts November 12, a cool five days ahead of the November 17 release....

Here you finally have it: the official, non-leaky trailer forSuper Street Fighter IV Arcade Edition. Nick recentlytalked toYoshinori Ono about the leaks that always happen with any Capcom fighting game — things that never actually make the game get in your hands any faster. But of course, you want your new and shiny things! If you must absolutely have moreSSFIV AEwhile you wait for either the DLC or the disc to be released, then here are some more Yun vs....

Yet the game itself is complex and difficult When I got a chance to playTelepath Tacticsat PAX East last month, I got a pretty good idea of how the game plays. What I didn’t get the opportunity to so was mess around with the map editor, a large part of what makesTelepath Tacticsso appealing. I was also glad to hear that theKickstarterwas successfully funded and that the creator, Craig Stern, is on his way towards his stretch goals....

Yes, I’m still using that term! Okay, you can wail and gnash your teeth at the term “roguelike” all you want but it looks like it’s stuck and indeed, it’s the theme for this newHumble Weekly Sale. You know the deal: you get three games on a pay-what-you-want basis and even more games if you beat the average price. So you can grabDungeons of Dredmor Complete,Paranautical Activity, andHack, Slash, Lootfor mere cents....

The Academy of Interactive Arts & Sciences (AIAS) has revealed the nominees for the15th Annual Interactive Achievement Awards(IAA) across a total of 26 categories. If the IAAs don’t ring any bell, perhaps you know them as the D.I.C.E. awards since they are awarded during the Design, Innovate, Communicate, Entertain summit. Uncharted 3andPortal 2lead the pack with 12 and 10 nominations, respectively, closely followed byL.A. Noirewith 9 nominations andBatman: Arkham City,The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim, andBattlefield 3who netted 6 nominations each....

Possibly high-tier, definitely lowbrow Ugh, I just don’t like Bo’ Rai Cho. I’ve been playing a lot ofMKXlately and I’m actually pretty excited for Kombat Pack 2 and theMK XLupdate. The other characters in the pack look great, reports out of the improvedonline betasound amazing, and I’m hoping some of the balance changes will shake things up. But Bo’ Rai Cho? Man, fuck Bo’ Rai Cho. I’m not looking forward to putting up with a bunch of puke and farts with my blood and guts (which I guess is kind of weird when I say it out loud)....
