[HTML1] Bethesda promised to deliver new information and footage of many of their titles during their pre-E3 2015 conference. While there were many exciting things to enjoy, it’s quite likely that Fallout 4 is what the majority of audience members and streamers were eager to see a peek of. Bethesda didn’t disappoint, offering a great deal of detailed information on what had previously been only hinted at in the Fallout 4 teaser trailer....

Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, E3 had never skipped a year, taking place annually at the Los Angeles Convention Center in June. It was canceled in its entirety in 2020, but then made its return as a digital-only event in 2021. Expectations for E3 to make a comeback this year was high. However, the ESA has decided that it would be better for the organizing team to focus on next year instead....

With no E3 in 2022 either, some gamers may have wondered if the annual event was gone for good. However, E3’s parent organization, the Entertainment Software Association, revealed that is not the case. The head of the organization recently confirmed that E3 will return in 2023.

Ken Moss, Chief Technology Officer of Electronic Arts, expounded on the publisher’s thoughts on cloud gaming and the new acquisition: According to EA’s press release, the acquisition was completed this May. No financial details regarding the acquisition have yet to be made available. While EA may now own GameFly’s video game streaming technology and development team, it does not own the service’s existing streaming service.

Speaking to a UBS conference in San Francisco, EA CFO Blake Jorgensen commented on the disappointing sales figures for Titanfall 2 saying that the company is taking a long term view for Titanfall 2 so the day one and week one sales figures are not that important to them.

Juve will claim a seventh consecutive Scudetto this weekend if they beat Roberto Donadoni’s side and nearest rivals Napoli lose to Torino on Sunday. Higuain and Dybala have contributed 35 Serie A goals between them this season but it has still proved a mixed campaign for the pair. Last weekend’s dramatic late winner against Inter was Higuain’s first goal in eight matches across all competitions, while Dybala - who has been linked with Bayern Munich and Manchester United - only featured as a substitute at San Siro having been hauled off at half-time in the 1-0 defeat to Napoli and sent off in the Champions League quarter-final first leg against Real Madrid....

City have dropped to fifth place in the table following this weekend’s results, trailing leaders Chelsea by 10 points heading into Monday’s encounter with Burnley. Guardiola has received his fair share of criticism in recent months, but Dyche is confident the Spaniard will eventually find the key to success. Ronaldo hits back after Kroos joke “I only saw him briefly after our game and shared a couple of minutes with him, and I think a man of his footballing intelligence will be working out the reality of the Premier League,” Dyche said ahead of the match at the Etihad....

There is a puzzle in play here that, while it isn’t long, does introduce a mechanic that Dying Light 2 players will not have seen up to this point. Capturing the windmill means mastering, and timing, this new movement....

One means of getting around the city that may have been cut from the game at the last minute was the ability to ride a bicycle. A fan of the game discovered the vehicle by using a developer menu that they downloaded from NexusMods. The developer menu allowed the player to spawn a fully ridable bicycle into the game. The bicycle seems to move relatively smoothly around the world, albeit at an incredibly slow pace....

While Dying Light 2 has received a number of DLCs since its release early in February 2022, Bloody Ties is its first major story-based expansion pack. Whereas the previous bits of extra content consisted mainly of new weapons and extra armor sets, Bloody Ties is a major new aside with a number of its own narrative twists and turns, though most of them concern the aforementioned combat arena.

The newly-released update 1.7.2 applies a plethora of game improvements and bug fixes before the Dying Light 2 Bloody Ties DLC launches on November 10. Alongside development of Bloody Ties, Dying Light 2 developer Techland worked on multiple quality-of-life changes that were unable to make it in the full game at launch. According to Techland, update 1.7.2 brings many gameplay changes to fully immerse players into Dying Light 2’s setting....

The release date has been confirmed, the gameplay walkthrough has given us a good indication of the changes we should expect to see in the sequel, and the press surrounding the game thus far has been nothing but positive. All The Darkness II has to accomplish on the show floor of E3 is - provide a consistently memorable experience, and gamers, especially fans of the original Darkness, will be pleased....

The Darkness II apparently picks up Jackie’s story a few years after the first game. After the carnage left in the wake of The Darkness’s finale, Jackie Estacado has both risen to become Don of Franchetti crime family and suppressed The Darkness roiling within him. As The Darkness II opens, an assassination attempt sparks off a full-scale gang war. In the heat of battle, The Darkness reawakens and compels its host to once again walk the path of chaos and revenge....

FanFest 2017 participants will be invited to the Microsoft press briefing on June 11th, an event normally reserved only for members of the press. While parts or all of the event will be broadcast online for Xbox fans to view, those in attendance usually receive swag items and a chance at Xbox games and consoles as giveaways. Possibly more exciting is the fact that FanFest members will be able to try out a few of the upcoming Xbox titles via demos at the event....

A screenshot supposedly from the Brazilian PlayStation Store page seems to show an icon for EA Access. While the image could be fake, if it’s real, it’s a strong indication that EA Access is finally coming to the PS4. However, it’s worth pointing out that the PS4 version of EA Access may not be quite as comprehensive as it is on other platforms. This is due to the PS4’s lack of backward compatibility....

Fares’ work on It Takes Two has resulted in something truly amazing. Earning the title of “best reviewed game of 2021,” players are able to embark on an epic journey together with a friend in a refreshingly casual but fun co-op experience. Although one might have expected the Q&A to be filled with insightful questions about the game or its development, EA instead found humor in the bizarre questions that fans came up with....

Then came yesterday’s announcement, which saw Microsoft pulling a complete 180 on their used games policy. It was an announcement that few saw coming, and one that likely will have large implications in the gaming market and the next-gen console war. At the same time, the announcement also begged the question: what will Electronic Arts do about the Online Pass now? Well, as it turns out, Electronic Arts is sticking to their guns — the Online Pass is dead....

FIFA 23 is the seventh game in the series to feature women’s soccer, but also the first to expand it beyond national teams; The Barclays FA Women’s Super League and French Division 1 Arkema have been fully playable since FIFA 23 had its hugely successful launch in late September, with EA Sports promising to introduce more women’s competitions to the game in the coming months. The addition of UWCL is the first such DLC officially confirmed by the company....

Ultimate Team is a major feature in the vast majority of games from EA Sports, but EA Sports UFC 4 won’t have it any capacity. Instead of dedicating time to cater to the small number of people who were using Ultimate Team in past EA Sports UFC games, the developers instead decided to focus those resources elsewhere in hopes that it will help the game reach a broader audience than previous entries have been able to do....
