With Star Wars Episode VII coming out this December, it's understandable to think that EA and DICE are under pressure to get Battlefront out of the doors to catch the wave If one thing is for sure, there is going to be a frenzy surrounding Star Wars this Christmas. EA have said that that won't dictate[...]

(The greatest irony here being that we all know that this game may well end up being  one of the best selling this year.} The truth is, I don't think what this franchise used to be really hangs with what DICE are doing with Battlefront The core concept is the same, which is to say the games[...]

People complain about remasters a lot, but quite a lot still ask for Mass Effect to get a revamped treatment It seems that if any game was going to get a pass, it would be a bundle of that franchise. I have some bad news though It doesn't look like it's happening Speaking to GameInformer, EA's[...]

Mirror's Edge is about parkour and melee fighting, meaning it's had a pretty strict no guns policy thus far Some fans had worried that in order to make the game sell, EA would incorporate more FPS elements into the series, specifically the ability to pick up guns and shoot dudes. That won't be the case though,[...]

Star Wars: Battlefront got its second outing Today at Sony's Press Conference, after debuting game footage earlier this afternoon This time around, the focus was on the single player and co-op aspect of the game with a newly announced Horde mode. This is for the players who don't want to venture into the wilds of multiplayer,[...]

By Phil Harris The EA press conference is always a tough one to cover because many of their products are sport related and it's hard to really dig down into the nitty-gritty about why one sports franchise game improves on the previous versions The fact is they sell well, as sports fans really want their teams[...]

We've been teased by Star War: Battlefront a lot in the last two months, but gameplay had remained elusive until now. As expected though, EA decided to debut gameplay to the public during their E3 press conference And here it is This footage showed off a Hoth battle, showing the Walker Mode, which has one team[...]

Mirror's Edge: Catalyst is one of EA's most interesting projects, but the first didn't do so well I'm very glad though as the franchise is coming back though as it's a great concept and another bite at the apple will probably help it along. We were given our first look of gameplay at EA's press conference[...]

The big question coming into EA's press conference was woudl we see Mass Effect Well, it didn't take long to find out. EA opened with the game, which is called Mass Effect: Andromeda It has this nifty trailer with some Johnny Cash showing the diverse set of planets you'll be able to travel off to. It was[...]

Star Wars: Battlefront is surely going to be on of the biggest releases of the year The game is going to launch just prior to Episode VII hitting theatres so the level of 'hype' will be at a fever pitch. Amazon have dropped a neat little curiosity too Here is the box cover for the Deluxe[...]

I'm sure we are on the precipice of seeing gameplay footage of Star Wars: Battlefront as we are just four days away form EA's E3 Press Conference With the game set to come out this holiday period, there is no way we don't see this game in action.  But until then we are stuck with images[...]

As we now know, Mirror's Edge Catalyst is the name of the next game in EA's ultra colourful first person parkour game We will no doubt see a lot more of the game on Monday during EA's E3 Press Conference, so look forward to that. Before we do though, take a little look at the game's[...]

We didn't have any context so it could've been anything, be it a companion app maybe or something else attached to the franchise. It doesn't seem that is going to be the case though, as the Mirror's Edge team are pretty heavily implying that it will be the title of the next game In a Tweet[...]

I'm pretty certain we can expect to see Mirror's Edge 2 at EA's press conference on Monday The game was announced two years ago via a short teaser and there was a brief look at it in development last year, but it has more or less been quiet since then. We heard a few weeks ago[...]

Zombies: Garden Warefare was afun little diversion for the series that I really enjoyed It had the same tenants of the original game that made the franchise a distinct success, but wrapped up in a totally new framework It was an inspired little move by PopCap, and while it didn't keep me playing for hours,[...]

The term makes a lot of people recoil, either because it means forced multiplayer or that it's a way for corporations to control your content At the same time, I think it can be used quite artistically and functionally to improve a game Destiny for example is a better game for it. That's why I don't[...]

It's incredibly fun, and creates a solid base for which to build sequels on Respawn Entertainment just needs to find reasons for people to keep playing this time around. If you had any expectations of seeing anything from the Sequel at this's year's E3 though, perhaps temper those Respawn's Vince Zampella took to Twitter, to confirm[...]

It seems that the website has now let out some key details regarding the release of EA's Need for Speed reboot. As screen grabbed by reddit (via IGN) before it was taken down, a listing for the game showed up stating that it would be out on November 3rd That seems about right, as most of[...]

Women's football has long been an asked for feature in EA Sport's FIFA series It seems that every year we have the same conversation as interviewers asking where women's teams are and EA dancing around the question, promising that some day it will come. That day will finally come and it will be this year[...]

Taking to Twitter, technical director on Frostbite engine, Johan Andersson confirmed the shared engine saying: Our next @NeedForSpeed by @GhostGamesEA running on the same version of @FrostbiteEngine as Battlefront! https://t.co/u1BIeB6d9S — Johan Andersson (@repi) May 21, 2015 Hopefully this will mean we will have a truly next-gen Need for Speed[...]

Granted, we haven't seen gameplay yet, but if the game is as pretty as the prereleased photos suggest, this could be one of the best looking games out there. This new image released by EA seems to follow that trend It shows a Star Destroyer in atmosphere on Sullust, undoubtedly ready to unleash some sort of[...]

I do try and be careful when it comes to putting too much faith into pre-release screenshots We don't know how they've been edited or what build they are for On top of that, they don't usually have that all important sense of motion that sells a game Even the worst games can have compelling[...]

There have been a lot of complaints surrounding DICE's Battlefront reboot since the game was revealed last month A lot of that has been surrounding a perceived lack of content and the fact that the game isn't building on Pandemic's Battlefront 2. In a recent interview with OPM (via Game Radar) DICE's Patrick Bach talked about why that[...]

So remember that Need for Speed game that was getting announced, today? Well, it's a reboot of the series. The game, which is just titled Need for Speed, has been officially revealed, showing that the franchise is planning to go back to its more outlandish days and channel a little Need for Speed: Underground. In an interview with Eurogamer,[...]

They span all manner of adjectives like, weird, strange, inappropriate, worthwhile, great, scary, unnecessary and beautiful This one is…something else though. As VideoGamer are reporting, Game have a special edition of Rory McIlroy PGA Tour that comes with a real golf umbrella This you run you up £47.99, £3 more than the standard edition[...]

Need for Speed took the year off last Christmas, which was probably good for the series It didn't need a new iteration every 12 months and giving Ghost Games the time to craft a truly next gen racer is probably a good play. We've known for a while the game would be returning this year, and[...]

It was a key feature in Star Wars: Battlefront 2, so it isn't hard to understand why people think taking them out might be regressive Especially when you consider a lot of people were hoping for land-to-space battles to begin with. Speaking to OPM (via Gamespur), DICE General Manager Patrick Bach took the question on why the[...]

In other news, I think I might have contender for the most obvious news story of the year. DICE confirmed over Twitter that the bi-pedal Empire walker will be in the game and that you will be able to hop in a tear stuff up As I said, this is hardly earth shattering, but hey, its good[...]

Need for Speed had a bit of a rest last year, breaking the yearly release schedule it was on beforehand That's probably for the best I like Need for Speed plenty and even I was getting a little tired of seeing it every year. Having had that year off though, I'm all for jumping back into[...]

Mirror's Edge was a really neat experiment I think it had fatal problems, but there was clearly something to the way that game worked that still makes it an appealing prospect That's why I have high hopes for Mirror's Edge 2. Up until now though, we've only seen tiny snippets of the game That will no[...]
