Skyrim director Todd Howard: Why triple-A games are better when you don’t play it safe

Wed, 4 Jul 2018 13:15:51 +0000

Todd Howard is racking up the awards, the latest being the Industry Legend honor at the Gamelab event in Barcelona. And it's with good reason, as Howard has had a great run in his 25 years at Bethesda Game Studios, where he is director of the studio that has produced blockbuster games such as The Elder Scrolls: ...]

A Way Out dev's next game will be published by EA - "nobody f***s with the vision"

Wed, 4 Jul 2018 11:19:00 +0000

Josef Fares, game director of Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons and prison-break adventure A Way Out, has confirmed that he will once again partner with Electronic Arts for the development of his next game. Fares, who made headlines earlier this year for his expletive-filled speech at The Game Awards, says Hazelight Studios has been working on the new title for a few weeks.

A Way Out was published as part of EA Originals, the company’s indie program. It’s not entirely clear whether or not the new title will be published under that label, or the partnership has changed in the wake of Hazelight’s success with A Way Out.
Check out our list of the best on PC.
In an interview with , Fares stated that “yeah, we’re with EA. It’s no problem. It’s super-good support. I don’t care what publisher I work with, it’s going to be the same. This is how I work: I respect the economical aspect but nobody fucks with the vision - it’s very, very important. And they know it at EA now, and they’re super supportive.” Fares spoke recently about just , which likely helped this new partnership develop.
Fares announced that he was working on a new game on back in April. Understandably, that means that Hazelight are “just in the early pre-production stuff,” but should “go full production” later this summer. Don’t expect to see the new game anytime soon though, as Fares says “maybe in two or three years we [sic] show something.”

Yes, Todd Howard and team have settled on The Elder Scrolls 6's region

Wed, 4 Jul 2018 02:47:15 +0000

When at the end of Bethesda's E3 show, the message was clear: we're working on the game but it's a very long way away. We saw a very brief trailer of a mountainous, coastal environment, and then a logo, and that was it.
But what were we seeing? Was this the setting of the new game or a kind of red herring - a generic Elder Scrollsian scene made for the trailer? Has Bethesda Game Studios even settled on the region we'll play in yet?
I thought we'd wait yonks for an answer but as luck would have it I got one from Todd Howard at Spanish conference Gamelab this week.

Assassin's Creed Odyssey has reversible boxart to let choose your cover star

Wed, 4 Jul 2018 02:47:15 +0000

We've come a long way from Assassin's Creed not letting you play as a woman - or from doing so only in short sections of its campaign.
Assassin's Creed Odyssey will let you play through the entire game as either female or male mercenaries Kassandra or Alexios - and just like the game itself, its reversible cover will let you pick your favourite.
That's according to creative director Jonathan Dumont, who revealed the detail in a AMA last night.

Cyberpunk 2077 is better as first-person than third-person

Tue, 3 Jul 2018 16:48:03 +0000

One of the more surprising stories to come out of E3 2018 was the news that CD Projekt Red's heavily anticipated Cyberpunk 2077 will be a first-person RPG, not the third-person RPG that fans of The Witcher series expected.
If you’re a fan of The Witcher 3 this is a departure from the third-person action style you’ve seen and I can understand an initial disappointment but if you’re a fan of RPGs as a whole, there have been plenty of incredible, highly acclaimed first-person RPGs that you probably already enjoy.
Dishonored, Deus Ex, Bioshock are each exceptional examples of how the perspective fits the mechanics of an RPG and immersive sims. This is a storied genre that Cyberpunk 2077 appears to be learning from while providing its own unique innovations.
We still don't know the but we've good reason to suspect it might be .
The developers revealed that the reason for this CD Projekt Red says this change was to and allow players to immerse themselves within the character. Cyberpunk 2077’s rich beauty is definitely one of its most enticing attributes, and being able to see it up close instead of over-the-shoulder will only make the eye-bleeding fidelity that much sweeter.
In tone, Cyberpunk 2077’s nearest neighbour is clearly Deus Ex, specifically for its city base, augmentations and overwhelming corporate oppression.

Deep Space Review | TheXboxHub

Tue, 3 Jul 2018 13:34:41 +0000

Tom writes: "Not too long ago endless running games were all the rage, especially in the mobile space. In 2018 however the genre appears to have mostly dried up. Deep Space is Bug Studios' latest attempt at recapturing the endless running magic. This is a procedurally generated affair, rather than the usual level based games you tend to find in the genre. Is this port of the mobile version worthy of your time and money?"

Left 4 Dead creators hiring for "globally known game franchise"

Tue, 3 Jul 2018 10:29:46 +0000

The studio behind Left 4 Dead and Evolve, Turtle Rock Studios, is calling for a senior level designer to work on an “a globally known game franchise”. The listing calls for a candidate with “experience working with modern FPS engines” and on “a competitive first person shooter”, all which hint towards a new multiplayer series… our hopes are on a new Left 4 Dead but there is a lot to suggest it will be something quite different.
Turtle Rock Studios has a history of creating FPS games, after Left 4 Dead and Left 4 Dead 2 the studio created Evolve - the 4 v 1 monster hunting shooter. Evolve never found an audience after its launch in 2015, and it announced in 2016 that it was ceasing the development of the franchise including all bug fixes and content updates. The likelihood of another Evolve game seems pretty unlikely at this point given its cancellation, though not entirely impossible, especially if they want a second crack at reviving the series.
Have a hankering to shoot more things? Here are some of the on PC.
A senior level designer is not the only role the studio is seeking.
