A huge part of making a great photo in Skate was the spot; this is also true in games nowadays. This is especially true with No Man’s Sky , and the game's recent NEXT update from this summer. You do have a viewable avatar now thanks to the NEXT update, but they don’t define the experience in the same way as God of War ’s Kratos or Spider-Man. It is No Man’s Sky ’s environments that are the stars: how you frame each environment defines the tone of the atmosphere. Taking a photo in the nearly endless space may evoke feelings of loneliness, while a view of one of the planet’s gorgeous vistas brings a sense of wonderm

We have no idea what's going on with the Spike VGX this year or even if there will be one. The annual celebrity-fueled, ad-hungry video games event was consistently chock full of controversy and disdain from the gamer community which is why last year host and producer Geoff Keighley helped re-brand the Spike Video Game Awards into the Spike VGX. It was a ratings success but still begged the question of whether it should contin

Speaking of Dead Space , Justin Marks, who at one point was working on the script for that adaptation, revealed that the movie explored the idea of losing Isaac Clarke as the protagonist. Thankfully, that idea was scrapped somewhere along the line, and now Isaac Clarke is back in the spotli

In Shadow of the Tomb Raider , Lara Croft finally becomes the tomb raider, and the game marks the height of Lara's skills and resourcefulness. In this game, Lara is no longer the naive and vulnerable young explorer that she was in 2013's Tomb Raider , but the gameplay allows her to use her surroundings to camouflage and perform brutal stealth kills. Lara also masters all her weapons in this game, including the deadly bow and arrow introduced in 2013. Lara Croft is by far the toughest that she has ever been in Shadow of the Tomb Raid

What we can look forward to more great games with notable female characters in 2019. Some of the most highly-anticipated games include Gears 5 that will have Kait Diaz as its protagonist, Wolfstein: Youngblood that features twin sisters killing nazis , and the Indie game, Sea of Solitude , that follows the story of a young girl who becomes a monster. These last few years have definitely been female character's time to shine in gaming, and the trend seems to continue for future releases

What To Expect: BioWare will show attendees a similar demo to the one at E3 2014, which focused on the open world and creedshadowgame.Com tactical combat in Dragon Age: Inquisition . Panelists will also answer questions about the highly anticipated third g

Despite a few successes peppered over the course of several decades, the general consensus is that video game movies are not only a risky proposition for studios, but most of them are lacking in quality. However, we might be in the midst of a changing of the guard, so to speak, as game developers take a more hands-on role in video game movie development (a la Marvel Comic

The nominations for the first ever edition of The Game Awards were unveiled this morning and include the standard set of genre-based categories, a fan category for most anticipated title of 2015 (which mostly includes delayed games) and as a bonus, some love for famous YouTube celebs and eSports teams to help spread the word and bring in the “hardcore” crowd for appro

2018 was a great year for gaming, and many defining new titles were released. Among the various critically-acclaimed games of 2018, there were games that featured some tough female characters. In many games released this year, such as Assassins Creed Odyssey and Far Cry 5 , players even had the option to play as either a male or a female character. Here are the five best female characters that featured in video games this y

An example of that is the lack of restrictions on climbing. Link is able to scale anything, with only his stamina bar slowing him down. It was an interesting addition to the game as climbing hasn't always been a big feature in previous Zelda instalments, but it is a welcome cha

Who Will Be There: Michael de Plater (director of design, Monolith Productions ), lead writer Christian Cantamessa ( Red Dead Redemption ), Phil Straub (art director), and the voice of Talion Troy Ba

Before moving any more forward with recent photo modes in games, let’s take a step back. The photo modes we know and love today are a pretty recent feature, in the grand scheme of things. Ten years ago, people weren’t clamoring to take in-game pictures; that is, until Skate came along with its “skate.reel” feature. The now-retired skateboarding simulation was the first time I recall wanting to record every moment of my journey to becoming a (fake) pro ska
