But there’s been one major polarizing aspect ofTitanfall, even for fans — the campaign. Rather than provide a proper story or solo set of missions, the campaign is built entirely into the multiplayer component....

Pop and stop with Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

As a major fan of the Harry Potter books and films, it has always been a source of frustration that the games have never risen above just mediocre. While the open world environment of many of the past titles have been appreciated, and some of the Wii motion spell waving has been fun, nothing has ever been particularly outstanding. So maybe it is for the best that EA and EA Bright Light Studio is going in a much different direction for the franchise with Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 1....

But this is one of thosebig dealsso we needed to dig deeper than just the floor demo. I went to my appointment with Square Enix’s Yoshinori Kitase armed with my shovel. Where the floor demo dropped players into the final area of the bombing run mission, up against a few small enemies to prepare players for the Scorpion Sentinel boss fight, the behind-closed-doors demo started from the beginning....

Supernova developers unsure on the decision to include a forfeit feature in their MOBA

The debate between MOBA studios rages on Right now, there’s a debate going on within the MOBA community regarding a forfeit feature. Currently,Dota 2does not have any forfeit mechanic in place, among other titles likeHeroes of the Storm, which Blizzard says “is so short, you don’t need one.”League of Legendshowever has a feature that allows players to concede a match after 20 minutes. This is still a relatively hot topic, as a lot of gamers aren’t willing to put in the time a MOBA requires if they have to constantly “play out” matches where they have no chance....
