It's not too surprising that players are already taking to the 2v2 format with Riftbound . One of Star Wars: Unlimited 's most beloved multiplayer modes, Twin Suns, has gained an increasing amount of traction in that community. That also follows the general rise of Commander in Magic: The Gatheri Join us on Saturday at 3:30pm as Nate Fox (Creative Director), Jason Connell (Creative/Art Director), Billy Harper (Animation Director), Ryuhei Katami (Associate Producer, Sony Interactive Entertainment) and moderator Brian Altano (IGN) discuss how we approached making the debut trailer and what inspired us to make this game. We’ll share epic concept art that’s driving the tone and visuals for the Strategy Game Forums|Https://Strategynewsbase.Com/, and share a little about our reference trips to Japan and working with new team members that are helping make Ghost of Tsushima even better. Also be sure to stop by our signing session after the panel and come say hi. Stay tuned for more info on time and locat For those looking for an even more thorough analysis, however, research firm SuperData has quickly made a name for itself in video games due to the company's willingness to examine more online-oriented data like microtransaction sales and the like. Recently, SuperData finally released its findings for the September 2016 period, and it appears that the dominance of some of gaming's biggest titles will not be broken easily - Pokemon GO , Destiny , and League of Legends topped the cash grossing charts for mobile, console, and PC gaming respectiv On the mobile platform, the continued dominance of Pokemon GO is also the most unsurprising, as the title's status of global phenomenon has not been in jeopardy despite the development team's slow response time in updating or implementing key design features. Pokemon GO sits comfortably ahead of its compatriots on mobile, much like League of Legends does its competitors on PC - World of Warcraft is the closest to Riot's cash cow, with the nearest genre competitor being DOTA 2 a full six ranks behind Leag In a market as complex as the one that video games are developed, marketed, and sold in, the research data regarding their respective successes or failures is equally complicated. For most gamers, the reports from the NPD Group, one of the most respected analysts when it comes to sales figures, are often where they glean trends in video games - for instance, the June NPD report from this year suggested console sales are slowing down , while a report on last month indicated that NBA 2K17 was doing well in sal We also learn about the " PlayStation Presents! " presentation that will come on Friday, December 8th at 8:00 PM Pacific Time. According to the post, most of the biggest announcements of the year have come and gone at E3 and Paris Games Week, but there are a few "stocking stuffers" coming at PlayStation Experience, including discussions with top PlayStation developers, updates on key titles and some "special announcemen At this point, it's simply a matter of timing a straight line run of one of the map's street, a couple of equations, and we come up with a rough result: the map you see above measures approximately 2,246 meters by 2,188 meters. That's 3.73 square kilometers or 1.44 square miles. Yes. I know, it was pretty smThe second of Naughty Dog’s two big reveals at last year’s PSX, the cinematic sequel could still be quite a ways off, with Sony not needing to rush the acclaimed studio with their 2018 being as packed as it is. Nonetheless, we may still see the title’s first proper gameplay demo to close out Friday night’s press conference, in addition to finding out some additional details during the associated panel on Saturday. Personally, I have a lot of respect for Michael Pachter. While his conclusions don't always hit the mark, no one is perfect and, contrary to the memes, he doesn't have a crystal ball. He has deep industry knowledge and his reasoning is very interesting for someone like me who is intrigued by the business aspects of the industry. It's also worth mentioning that his statements are often abused out of context by less-than-scrupulous websites throwing around clickbait headlines with remarkable desperat A 1:1 reproduction of the real map of Tsushima would probably be doable, but this doesn't mean that Sucker Punch will go for it. As you'll see in Part 2 of my feature, the island is a natural paradise the vast majority of which is covered by mountains and forests. This means that populating it with content is probably easier and quicker than a dense urban environment like Seattle. Yet, we still can't answer the question of whether it would make sense gameplay-wise or Now that we have our map, we can set out to measure it. To do that, we have to fish deep into the content of an old (but extremely interesting) panel hosted by Lead Engine Programmer Adrian Bentley at GDC 2014. There we learned that when using his neon powers, Delsin could move at a speed of 20 meters per second. Any faster and the engine wouldn't have been able to stream the assets of the world fast eno
