Red 5 Studios CEO Mark Kern took to the Firefall forums early Thursday morning to deliver the sad news that they were temporarily cutting out the PvP aspects of the game so the company could “completely rethink our PvP and re-implement it to the highest standards “ While clearly disappointing to fans of Firefall’s PvP, [...]
I know a few people who play Trials (and one who makes really awesome videos of it), so when I saw there was a F2P version of Trials, I cheered! Then I saw it was for mobile devices, and I was sad. Then I read about how it monetizes, and I was really sad. We [...]
Pax Prime brought more news regarding SOE’s first of two sandbox MMOs, Everquest Next: Landmark. Something I have to admit, I was not expecting. Just a few weeks ago SOE had devoted a large portion of their own convention revealing EQN. Everyone would understand if SOE needed a breather before divulging much more. But, SOE [...]
Extraction is a tactical team-oriented first person shooter from one of the original pioneers of class based shooters, Splash Damage. Being a big fan of most Splash Damage’s other works, I had a chance to try several rounds of the shooter at this year’s Pax Prime. Splash Damage has a rich history when it comes [...]
Helmets will be shattered! Blood will be spilled! And that’s only in the first quarter of this weekend’s NFL action! Last week, we got a sneak peek at the next expansion for The Lord of the Rings Online, Battle of Helm’s Deep. As you might expect, the pivotal battle of The Two Towers is the [...]
Damion Schubert, Lead Designer on Star Wars: The Old Republic has a blog. I didn’t know that until yesterday, when someone on my Twitter feed pointed me toward a recent entry where Schubert analyzes last week’s news regarding the subscription model announcements for The Elder Scrolls Online and WildStar. The first point to take is [...]
Although there wasn’t much in the way of Free-to-Play news, it’s always a great experience visiting Gamescom in Cologne, Germany. Like E3, this year’s Gamescom, was also primarily focused on next-gen consoles and like we mentioned previously, the Playstation 4 is still poised to deliver a F2P smack down on the Xbox One. A snowy [...]
During this year’s Gamescom I had the opportunity to talk with Nic van’t Schip, product manager at Perfect World and all around good guy. Although Perfect World has yet to officially confirm what’s up next on the publisher’s plate, Nick and I had an interesting conversation concerning what the future may hold in store for [...]
For all our readers who’ve been following the console war closely, the news of the PlayStation 4′s dominance in the Free-to-Play console space may come as no surprise. The console’s dominance was made even more clear once we arrived at this year’s Gamescom convention in Cologne, Germany. It was with great pleasure that I found [...]
WildStar isn’t going to be free-to-play when it launches. Of course, that won’t stop people from speculating about when it will, because all subscription-based games that have come out over the last several years have either made the switch or wilted away into nothingness. And it’s tempting to say that Carbine Studios plans to do [...]
I was walking around Gamescom in the entertainment area when to my surprise, I stumbled upon two huge lines for the Oculus Rift booth. They were showing two games on the Oculus, a NASCAR related racing game and the Free-to-Play mech shooter, Hawken. I had already been lucky enough to experience the Oculus earlier this [...]
Snail Games Content Producer Peter Kang didn’t waste any time in telling me what was a major focus of Age of Wushu’s first expansion: “It’s mainly about convenience to our players. We wanted to make everything that players would do in the game easier.” Before the cries of “Oh no, care bears have ruined the [...]
The EverQuest Next dev team’s got a tricky tightrope to walk. Along with Ultima Online, EverQuest was the first big MMO (sorry, Meridian 59 fans) and some people are still in love with it, 14 years later. On the other hand… the game is 14 years old. Even if you could update EQ’s graphics to [...]
Everquest: Next wasn’t the only voxel-based MMO Sony had to show at this year’s SOE Live. The revitalized franchise saw two titles bearing the EQ name announced. While it may be difficult to tell at first glance, Everquest: Next – Landmark is actually a completely separate title. One focused mainly on creative exploration. It’s in [...]
At last week’s QuakeCon, we had the chance to sit and chat for a few minutes with Hi-Rez Studios’ E-sports Manager Bart Koenigsberg, who gave me the lowdown on all of the company’s games – the good, the bad, and the as-yet-unknown… MMOBOMB: Let’s start off with Smite. It’s been in beta for over a [...]
Details surrounding the classes in Everquest Next are slowly emerging. During the Everquest Next class panel, senior SOE devs broke down how EQ Next’s class mechanics functioned and what players should expect when customizing their character. It should be noted right off the bat that all of this is subject to change as development continues. [...]
