Evolve sacrifices complexity for more fun

14 July, 2016 - 聡 | 0 Comments

Evolve is back, free, and easier to get into than ever. There are a ton of changes in Evolve: Stage 2’s free-to-play beta, and many of them encourage faster, more aggressive matches thanks to more powerful monsters and helpful new abilities for the hunters. Match times have also dropped from 20 minutes to 12 and the available maps have been redesigned to accommodate Evolve’s new priorities.

The changes are big, but aren’t necessarily permanent or complete—Turtle Rock Studios is reworking Evolve from the ground up. But one change is more transformative than the others: the Orbital Arena, essentially the mousetrap in Evolve’s game of cats-and-giant-mouse, is no longer the sole responsibility of the Trapper class.

Now the dome is a shared ability, meaning anyone on the team can deploy it at any time, so long as it’s not on cooldown. The dome also automatically centers on the monster, making it a much harder ability to botch. This tweak has fundamentally changed Evolve, gutting most of the hunting phase in favor of more frequent and focused combat encounters.

Have a nice day everyone!

The Elder Scrolls 6

15 June, 2016 - 聡 | 4 Comments

I'm not sure this qualifies as news, exactly, since it's one of those things that I think the whole world just assumed is happening without needing to be told about it.

But in case there was any doubt, Bethesda Game Studios Game Director Todd Howard said in an interview with Geoff Keighley during YouTube's Live at E3 stream that a new Elder Scrolls game is in the works.

“That's kind of like the elephant in the room, always, when we talk about anything, and I think it's good to tell our fans in these moments, yes, of course we are making Elder Scrolls 6,” Howard said. “It's something we love. But it is—I have to be careful what I say—it's a very long way off. I could sit here and explain the game to you, and you would say, 'That sounds like you don't even have the technology—how long is that going to take?' And so it's something that's going to take a lot of time, what we have in mind for that game.”

Howard also confirmed what he half-disavowed back in March: That Bethesda is currently working on two other “large projects” alongside the new Elder Scrolls. In fact, he said it's likely that we'll hear about them before the next Elder Scrolls game is announced.

“We think very long term. We're not a developer that's going to rush something like this out. Any of our games. So when you think about, what is the future of that kind of game, we have a pretty good idea of what it would be, and it's just going to take technology and time that, really, we don't have necessarily right now.”

So, there you have it. Bethesda is making another game in its longest-running and most successful blockbuster videogame franchise. The way things are going, I'd almost be willing to bet we'll see a new Fallout someday, too.

And as always, have a nice day!
