Everyone has a fighting chance
For those itching to get a look at the combat mechanics in Fallout 4, Bethesda has released the uncut E3 trailer that features about three minutes of game play action. The first couple of minutes are the trailer seen during the convention, with the final three minutes or so showing off combat. See what you think!
Bioware has confirmed that the Togruta race will become playable beginning with the v3.3 update that will be deployed on Tuesday, July 21st. Interestingly, devs also revealed that headgear on Togruta, because of the appendages on their heads, will be hidden, opening the way, the post said, for "other species down the line who have ‘head things going on’."
Star Trek Online has been patched with the half-season update that brings both a new narrative called "The Broken Circle" featuring actors from Deep Space Nine and Voyager, and the new Armada feature into the game. (Ed Note: "Holodeck is currently offline. We are aware of this issue and currently working on bringing the server back online as soon as possible." This posted at 7:00 Eastern).
Wizard101’s Ultra Summer Update went live this week with a whole lot of something for every type of player. New challenges from old foes, pets taking a dip in the DNA pool, a new age of PvP, and more housing and gardening than you can shake a glow stick at (the new Ultra plants have a really cool glow effect).
We all have dream games. Now that the heavy-hitters have hit the market, we’re turning our gaze inward. In this RPG Files, we’re looking at the franchises we would most like to see be turned into RPGs. Plus Star Citizen coming under fire, a new Dragon Age contest, and a crushing blow to Dead Island 2!
I have recently discovered that I really enjoy primitive-looking, voxel-based, sometimes-sidescroller-y survival games. It sounds a bit specific, so I mean games like Starbound, Minecraft, or Terraria. I love the way the graphics look simple (which means easy to run on older PCs) but feature realistic lighting or shading. I especially love the fact that these titles offer a wide variety of open-ended content and keep the barrier of entry low.
What makes not rushing through content more fun than being a world-first slayer of evils? Victor discusses the slow burn in this week’s Eorzea Reborn.
Lost Dimension is one of those rare games that encourages you to get to know your NPC compatriots, while at the same time pressuring you to think carefully about whom you decide to buddy up with. Atlus’ upcoming scifi RPG puts party management at the forefront of its gameplay, and ties all of its systems back to the decisions you make about your compatriots.
I never played the original Cabal, but hearing people talk about it makes me wish I had. It might have been a cult hit at best, but there is no denying that there was something about the original that inspired people to talk about it with a measure of passion. But I think it is safe to say, from my experience, that Cabal 2 misses the beat on everything that made the original so beloved.
Sandbox Interactive has sent out a trio of treats for fans of Albion Online. A new trailer from the ongoing Summer Alpha has been released as well as a look at some of the stats from the most recent player events.
