It got halted after several months of production, but the studio hasn't given up the chase to produce the game yet. In fact, they've renewed hope that EA might be interested in picking up the title In a reddit AMA, Dan Borth of the studio said that he expects to be pitching a next-gen demo to the[...]

The revival of the classic franchise is certainly quite different to the others in the franchise, but we have to remember, EA has revived this series from the grave yard There wasn't ever going to be another Battlefront game after this. That wasn't always the case though Prior developer Free Radical were once working on Star[...]

There are pretty lengthy character descriptions over on the blog, so do go check them out if you are curious. These three will join, Luke, Vader and Boba Fett as already confirmed heroes and villains I have a suspicion that this might be all we see, at least at launch We will have to see if[...]

I don't recall if I did, but it seems a nice memory to have, so I will pretend I have it for now. That is exactly the kind of feeling this new Battlefront trailer is trying to evoke, and it really works The idea of thrusting your self into the heat of a Star Wars battle[...]

There has been a real abundance remakes since the new generation consoles Some have been lovingly done, others not so much, but most people agree there is probably just a few too many We'd like to see developers kick on a little and make new products. It seems EA COO Peter Moore agrees In a recent[...]

It certainly leaned a little heavily in the Imperial's favour, especially in the early portion when people tried to figure out what they were doing. Several members of DICE have taken note, and gone to Twitter to inform people that they will be addressing the issue They recognise the imbalance and have said changes will be[...]

Voice chat seems to be something that has somewhat fallen to the wayside in recent years Where as in the early days of massive online play, you couldn't get into a match without people chatting away (and screaming awful slurs at one another), but you just don't see many people using the functionality too much[...]

I was really quite impressed by the Star Wars: Battlefront beta I didn't play it for too long, in fear of burning out on the game before it is even out, but the authenticity and spectacle of the experience were pretty enamouring. According to EA's stats though, you probably already know that As revealed in a blog[...]

Season Passes are controversial things They are a way of getting a lot of DLC discounted and secured early, but they also require users to pay even more than the asking price of the game for something they don't know the quality of. That's why this particularly expensive Star Wars: Battlefront Season Pass is causing such[...]

While the game still doesn't have a rating, the team are hoping that it can pick up a 'T' for Teens They revealed their aims in a tweet to a fan saying: @RM_MATHESON Star Wars Battlefront is still rated 'RP' (Rating Pending) but we're targeting a rating of 'T' for Teen. — EAStarWars (@EAStarWars) October 9, 2015 The[...]

I think they are fundamentally different games on the outside, but it definitely has that DICE 'feel' all over it. Speaking to OXM (via GamesRadar+),  DICE general manager Patrick Bach says that just re-skinning Battlefield with Star Wars assets would have been the much easier option too Bach said that wouldn't have been a great move for the[...]

The game looks stunning and it has a sense of real authenticity to it that sells the experience. Good news too If you are enjoying your time with it, the beta has been extended on all platforms by a day through to Tuesday The extended period was announced over Twitter, in this tweet. Good news, we're extending[...]

I'm going to submit this without much comment. I've seen a few funny videos surrounding the Star Wars: Battlefront beta, but this one takes the cake. I've

Mass Effect: Andromeda has been silent since its reveal at EA's E3 Press Conference The game's fanbase is rabid for more news though, with the next possible window for reveals being speculated about all over the place. It seems we might have some incite into when we might hear from the game again though On Twitter, Studio[...]

Star Wars: Battlefront beta is just a few days away, with what might end up being the most played beta ever hitting October 8th on PC, Xbox One and PlayStation 4. Just a heads up though, make a little room for it on your consoles or PC On PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, the download should[...]

Need for Speed is back this year after taking last holiday period off and things are looking pretty exciting This certainly has a more Underground vibe than more recent entries and I'm fine by that. One of the things I feel got lost in the series was the ludicrous paint jobs and customization available, which really[...]

It was announced today that the open beta for the game, which is coming to PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC will be landing on October 8th. It will run until the 12th, meaning you will have just four days to get your fix before the November release It seems there will be a fair bit[...]

It seems we are in the nuclear arms race for minifridges special editions this year Call of Duty of course announced a fridge edition for their game coming with Black Ops 3, at a fairly reasonably price all told. Not to be overshadowed, EA have now stepped up too They are going to be offering this[...]

Need for Speed is set to make a comeback this fall, after taking a break off last year It's resurrecting the more Underground tone too, which is sure to tickle a few people's nostalgia receptors I'm pretty excited about getting hands on the arcadey racer again, after the breather. If you were excited for the PC[...]

Senior director of creative development at the developer, Alistair McNally said after reviewing the progress on the game recently, it's clear this is going to be the biggest game in the series. Spent today reviewing creative progress on #MassEffectAndromeda I believe it to be the best (and certainly largest) Mass Effect ever! #Hype — Alistair McNally (@Al_McNally)[...]

Their career modes can be great little incubators of emergent narratives In fact when I play Madden and FIFA each year, I almost always end up skipping past a ton of games to get the story of my team going quicker. That is why I always have an eye on what is new in FIFA's career mode[...]

We learnt this week that in October we will be able to sign up to be part of the Star Wars: Battlefront beta I encourage you to do so, in order try the game out I liked it a whole lot when I got hands on at E3.  When registration does go live though, be sure to[...]

Need for Speed is making a roaring return this year with a reboot that is playing on the Underground vibes of yore It looks pretty stellar, and I hope it plays as arcadey as ever The FMV trappings are ludicrous, and I want to feel that stretched across the entire game. There will be some variety[...]

It was announced the title would get the trial period as 'a technical test' in early October on the EA Blog During the period, you'll be able to play the 40 man Hoth based Walker Assualt, Survival Missions on Tatooine and a newly announced mode Drop Zone. It is said more details will come out in[...]

The complaint I hear most often leveled at DICE's Star Wars: Battlefront reboot is that it's just a Battlefield clone with a Star Wars skin Honestly, that sounds perfectly fine by me, but I understand people are very concerned. Well, DICE's general manager Patrick Bach has tried to reassure those fears in an interview with Official PlayStation[...]

So I thought I had quietly retired my last game of the year, Dragon Age: Inquisition The game gave me a good 70 hours, which is more than enough time with a deep RPG. However, I might be dragged back in now, thanks to this rather awesome additional content just being announced The new DLC for[...]

The Battle of Jakku is going to be a a real interesting bit of content for Star Wars: Battlefront If you don't know, the map is going to be added to the game two weeks after launch for free for those who pre-order the game Everyone else will get it a week later. The battleground is[...]

EA have taken this idea to its natural conclusion that, to the point I don't think anyone else can really do it now (Cue a ton of publishers trying to replicate this) James Franco, Christopher Mintz-Plasse and a ton of NFL superstars (admiral mention to Rex Ryan) for this new Madden NFL 16 advert It's[...]

Seeing the series go back to it's 'Underground' days should be a treat if done right. And here is something for you Yesterday on on the Need for Speed twitter account, seventeen cars were revealed, showing just what you'll be driving and 'suping' up The list reads: BMW M3 E46 BMW M3 E30 BMW M4 Ford Mustang GT For Mustang 1965 Honda[...]

The Konami/ Hideo Kojima story has more or less been the most important and ongoing of this year in the world of video games The seeming break up has trundled on and on and on, with Konami having taken the brunt of hits form fans and the media However, EA COO Peter Moore has said that[...]
