The Next Battlefield Spotlights the Destruction in Store for Its Gameplay

Destruction has been a hallmark of Battlefield over the years, and for the next Battlefield game, DICE looks to be amping up the rubble-producing chaos even more. The developer recently dropped a video and Battlefield Labs Community Update, to spotlight what's in store for the next entry in the Battlefield series. In the pre-alpha footage, we can see some of the destruction designed by DICE, as an explosive takes down the side of a building, opening up a new pathway through the structure. Destruction can lead to creative solutions for players, and in the Community Update, DICE said it is working to add more gameplay depth by letting players reshape the environment around them. Whether you bring down a wall to launch an ambush or open...

Looks Like Bethesda Is Finally Announcing That Oblivion Remaster Tomorrow

After months of rumors and leaks, it looks like Bethesda is finally ready to make its remaster of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion a real announcement tomorrow. In a post on Twitter/X today, the official Bethesda account announced an announcement for tomorrow at 8am PT/11am ET across both YouTube and Twitch. While they didn't specify exactly what the announcement would be, the big "IV" in the center of the image and the background that looks suspiciously like a well-known piece of official Oblivion art kiiiiiind of gives it away. A remake of Oblivion has been rumored for it seems like forever now, with rumors turning to leaks in more recent weeks. We first learned it might be in the works thanks to a 2020 Bethesda release schedule that...

Delta Force made its return with a launch on PC last year, reigniting interest in the legendary tactical shooter franchise. Now, it is bringing its definitive free-to-play, modern, team-based tactical action to a whole new audience on mobile.

Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves Review

Man, It’s great to have Fatal Fury back. The OG SNK fighting game series, and the one that went toe-to-toe with Street Fighter 2 back in the 90s, Fatal Fury has been dormant for more than 25 years. SNK has been quite active in that time with the King of Fighters series and even a Samurai Shodown revival, but those offer two very different styles of fighting game, leaving Street Fighter without its most comparable SNK competition for far too long. And that’s what Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves brings to the table: A more direct alternative to Street Fighter 6 — one that is similar in its gameplay structure, but without neutral skipping system mechanics, Drive Impacts, and throw loops. It’s missing a few modern-day fighting game features...

Star Wars Outlaws Release Date Announced for Nintendo Switch 2

Ubisoft had already confirmed Star Wars: Outlaws as one of the games that will be coming to the Nintendo Switch 2, but today we learned the space adventure won't be a launch title when the new Nintendo handheld is released on June 5, instead arriving a few months later on September 4. If you missed it on PS5, XBox and PC, Star Wars Outlaws is set between the events of The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi and follows Kay Vess, a small time criminal who finds herself with a death mark from a cartel against her name. Our reviewer gave it a 7, saying it was "a fun intergalactic heist adventure with great exploration, but it’s hindered by simple stealth, repetitive combat, and a few too many bugs at launch." Ubisoft didn't have...

Tempest Rising Review - Single-Player Campaign

Note: This review specifically covers the single-player campaigns of Tempest Rising. For thoughts on multiplayer, stand by until after launch. It was only a matter of time before someone got tired of waiting for EA to announce a new Command & Conquer real-time strategy game without canceling it a few months later, and finally, Danish developer Slipgate Ironworks has become the one to take matters into its own hands. Tempest Rising plays like a C&C game with the serial number filed off, and it does a fairly good job of scratching the itch for this style of fast-paced action with two very traditional but well-made campaigns set to the tune of a familiar soundtrack partly composed by distinctive C&C composer Frank Klepacki. Given how...

How Tempest Rising Is Shaping Up To Be Essential For Command & Conquer Fans

Though it can be said that the PC is hardly a platform that’s left wanting for RTS efforts, it’s also perhaps equally true that fewer of those recent efforts have attempted to recapture the magic of Westwood’s legendary Command & Conquer series. Looking to address this most egregious of situations is Tempest Rising, an all-new […] Continue reading...
