If you look at BioWare right now, it’s a different story than it was five or 10 years ago. At that time, the company was hacking away at two series that were, aesthetically at least, very different – Dragon Age and Mass Effect. These days, the only word coming out of BioWare’s collective mouth is Anthem, its upcoming shooter-RPG-online-single-player-live-thing. But the team hasn’t...
Without question, the largest question mark hanging over EA and BioWare’s head was Anthem. After the mixed released of Mass Effect: Andromeda and an early showing last year at E3 2017, the game needed to turn up big this year to reinvigorate excitement for the studio and the project in general. BioWare brought all the goods with a brand new trailer, new gameplay information, and even a...
After a few poorly-received titles and one straight-up bomb in Mass Effect: Andromeda, BioWare needs a win. But that win just got a little bit further out, as the RPG studio’s next big title has been delayed. According to sources speaking to Kotaku, BioWare’s Anthem has been pushed out into 2019, while the next Dragon Age title is in the works, but has been rebooted. The sources say ...
Consoles schmonsoles. The PlayStation has its share of exclusives and the Xbox One X is a beast of a system, but no console can compare to PC in terms of sheer number of games, options, and install base. You can build the system that fits your needs, play on the platform you want, with the style of controller that suits your needs. Even if you own one of those consoles or a Nintendo...
While Sony has the market cornered on console exclusives, Microsoft has the power game locked down. Whatever you play this year, if it plays on Xbox at all, it’s going to look better and play better on Xbox One X. If you’re rocking a 4K display in your living room, it’s the system to own. Each game listed here is also available on PC with the exception of a console-exclusive title...
The new year is here, and tons of games are already slated for this year. Exclusives, multiplatform titles, remakes, and more. More games will be announced and released as the year goes on, and some of these games will surely slip into 2019. But right, we can look forward to many of these hitting shelves and digital marketplaces. In the coming days, we’ll be going through our most...
BioWare revealed its newest IP Anthem during the opening hours of E3 2017, and it’s a title that has become shockingly divisive. Either it’s the greatest video game ever made and all you’ve ever dreamed of, or it’s a third-person co-op Destiny look-alike set in an open world with waypoints, sub-quests, and all the plug and play elements of the AAA gaming scene. Looking to cool those...
There were a ton of games at E3 this year. We’re still writing up a few of our experiences, and just figuring out which games we wanted to highlight as our favorites took a while. But after a lot of back and forth, we’ve narrowed it down to a few of our favorites. Ron, Joey, and I have each picked out some of the best of this year’s batch of games. Some of them were playable, while...
Bungie, BioWare, and Bethesda were the three largest breakout game developers of the 2000s, storming into the mainstream and changing the way we look at shooters, RPGs, and a hybrid of both. This year at E3, each three of the “Bs” is bound to turn up huge, and indeed, two of them will emerge in direct competition with one another. BioWare announced its brand new IP Anthem during EA’s...
