Everyone has a fighting chance
The San Diego Comic-Con (SDCC) celebrates our favorite genres of the entertainment industry, including comic, film, literary, art, cosplay, and of course, video games! Albeit video games don’t have a huge presence, there are still some really cool gaming specific panels I’ll be covering and speaking on this year.
Ark: Survival Evolved players with a creative bent will be pleased to hear that a "simplified Unreal 4" mod kit has been released. A brand new workshop site has opened up on the Ark main site that gives a few tutorials on how to get started and how to get mods on Steam for other players.
No Man’s Sky is a procedurally generated game world that has caught a lot of people’s eyes lately and a game that generated a lot of excitement at the recent E3 convention. IGN has a new video out that features 18 uninterrupted minutes of game play. Check it out to see what you think and leave your reaction in the comments!
The latest update to TERA has been deployed that includes new dungeons, the Berserker class update, a new PvP battleground and much more. Called "Go Berserk", players can now log in to see the changes in store.
The Gloria Victis team has sent word that the game has been updated with a pair of new features. A PvP arena has been added that gives players a controlled environment in which to partake in friendly duels and sparring matches. Initially starting with the one arena, more will be added over time.
Once in a good long while, a game shows up with such a crazy amalgam of genres that your interest might be piqued before hearing anything else about it. Bedlam, a new Roguelike tactical-strategy RPG from Skyshine Games, is one of those such titles. It’s a post-apocalyptic, cyberpunk game with influences from Mad Max, Fallout, Domination Alley, and basically all of the 1980s. Thematically, it looks a lot like Gamma World, and its gameplay is comprised of a mix between Oregon Trail and chess.
The Final Fantasy XIV site has been updated with a new developer blog that shows off the new raid dungeon called "Alexander". The preview shows off the new gear that players can score by running the raid and comes complete with a brand new video to show off some of the lore and the action within the area.
Owners of PlayStation 3 and XBox consoles will want to take note of the new Dragon Age: Inquisition blog that announces that future DLC for the game will not be available for them. The post walks players through the process of saving games and profiles from these systems in the event players want to import the information to PC or one of the other supported consoles. DLC will continue to be available for XBox One and PlayStation 4.
The Blade & Soul site has been updated with a new post to give future players a leg up on the lore and use of chi in the game. Understanding the fundamentals of chi is, as the post says, essential to mastering it and using it to its full potential.
