Everyone has a fighting chance
Let’s do a quick rundown of what we learned at E3: Early Access is coming, and sooner rather than later, the game engine has been determined and revealed, and while no dates have been established yet, Eternal Crusade will be coming to Xbone and PS4. There are also new screenies and a new trailer coming, but those things are less exciting than the big three, which we will now look at a little closer.
Obsidian Entertainment, the Allods team and My.com have announced that the Skyforge open beta will begin on Thursday, July 16th. Players logging in during the first week of OBT will earn a free Mechanic Costume that will be rewarded after July 24th. The team also promises regular updates and added features as the OBT progresses. Check out the announcement trailer below.
When you think of Funcom, you probably think of dark, immersive stories and gameplay that is more adult-oriented, which is why LEGO Minifigures Online might have come as a surprise. The game, which saw its original free to play release last fall, is relaunching as a buy to play game today after many changes and polish.
Last week I talked about the lead up to actually being able to set foot into Heavensward. This week I’m going to take a look at some of the other peripheral features that surround that game as well as examine one of the new jobs that have made their way into the game. I’ll save the next two jobs for future installments of this series. I’ll still keep this review spoiler free until next week. Even then I’ll keep them to a minimum and clearly label them.
Daybreak Game Company, formerly Sony Online Entertainment, has announced the annual recipients of the G.I.R.L. Scholarship award. The pair are already hard at work at DGC, participating in a summer internship program.
A new micro-site has cropped up on the TERA main site that tells players that July 7th is a day to "go berserk". Berserkers are getting some love in the new update with new tier seven gear, new skills specifically for tanks, and much more.
Every year, we can expect to find some pretty cool things showcased at E3. Popular video game titles, indie titles, new tech in both hardware and software, VR updates, and of course breaking news for PC, consoles, and mobile games. However, this year, we also stumbled upon something we didn’t quite expect, and that was the team running Unikrn.
How does WildStar’s endgame experience stack up, now that it’s a year since launch? Armed with a freshly leveled alt, Gareth "Gazimoff" Harmer goes on a mission to find out.
I often wish I could enjoy realistic military shooters like World of Tanks. I have tried them before, and the closest I came to joy was when I was piloting an old aircraft over a massive battlefield… then I was shot down. Because these games are skill-based shooters, it’s often the case that when you die you just stay dead; there’s no room for error. The last time I played World of Tanks I grew so impatient I just logged out. I probably appeared to be the world’s most sore loser.
