Xbox engineering lead Mike Ybarra revealed images showing male a...[Read More]
Fallout 4 mods for PS4 delayed by Bethesda
Bethesda has experienced trouble with enabling mods on the PlayStation 4 version of Fallout 4, and it seems Sony is the one to blame. Sony is limiting the mods to 900MB of space. This is in contrast to Microsoft, which allows 2GB of space for mods. In addition, the PS4 edition of Fallout 4 seems to suffer from poor optimization, which makes the issue worse. Bethesda was ready to roll out a beta of...[Read More]
Project Scorpio: New Xbox One or Something Else?
After watching Microsoft’s E3 2016 conference, I was livid. The source of my anger was their official reveal of Project Scorpio, their planned upgraded version of the Xbox One. The reveal was not a surprise; it was mentioned along with the Xbox 360 S, their slimmer Xbox One, a couple of days prior to the conference. But seeing and hearing it confirmed by Microsoft made my “Hulk Smash” instincts po...[Read More]
E3 Impressions: Microsoft Conference
The entire time I was watching Microsoft’s E3 conference, I kept looking up. I imagined the sword of Damocles dangling over my head, in the form of a product unveiling. At the end of the conference, the sword finally fell. Up to that point, Microsoft’s conference was pretty decent. After the unveiling, all I wanted was to scream. Oh, and remove that sword from my brain. I’ll get to my rant about t...[Read More]

More zombies! State of Decay 2 is the follow-up to Undead Labs’ successful 2013 game. The only information for the game comes in the form of a teaser trailer shown during E3.

E3 Impressions: Gears of War 4
As the first game in the series since Microsoft acquired it from Epic Studios and handed it to Canadian developer The Coalition, Gears of War 4 was bound to receive a fair amount of scrutiny from series fans. After the gameplay demo shown at E3, I’m not so sure the scrutiny will subside. Gears of War 4 is set 25 years after the events of Gears of War 3. The main protagonist is JD Fenix, son of Mar...[Read More]
