While the highly anticipated Elden Ring from FromSoftware will be missing the show, there are still plenty of games to look forward to. Here’s a handy list with the biggest games to look forward to, along with events and streams related to t
Like Death Stranding , Halo 6 was another game we were told wouldn’t be at E3. However, with Microsoft debuting the Xbox One X at the show, there was still the possibility that the company was just trying to lead fans astray to later surprise them at E3 with a reveal of Master Chief’s next Adventure Games Missions running on the new system. Sadly for Halo fans, Microsoft kept its word and Halo 6 wasn’t revealed at E3, but the timing is right for the game to make a big splash at next year’s s
Just looking at the game on a strictly technical level makes it abundantly clear that this is not the Fable fans will be expecting. Much of the interesting design that Lionhead has established has been made more palatable and also less visually appealing. In plainer terms, since that’s what the game was shooting for, the project looks too “kiddy.” But even that would have been understandable if the game had decent collision detection or didn’t constantly suffer from frame-rate probl
Unfortunately, a lot of what Fable Heroes brings to the table, aside from that, is dull and uninteresting. Combat devolves into mashing the same button over and over again, and earning coins, while competitive, doesn’t carry quite the joy that it should. Lionhead does infuse a few of its signature Fable flairs, like branching paths and good vs. evil choices, into the game but both are either too few and far between, or just a different way to prolong the experience. It’s only the board game leveling system, and the title’s brief mini-games — like mine-cart racing — that provide brief respites from an otherwise uninspired experie
Whether playing with children, performing tricks, or simply frolicking ahead of its master, Fable 2 ‘s Dog remains one of the best simulated we’ve encountered. Its species is hailed as ‘man’s best friend,’ and over the course of the game, this pup lived up to the ti
Tokyo Game Show 2019 is starting right now at Makuhari Messe in Tokyo, going from September 12 to 15. Most publishers revealed their definitive schedules these past few days, outlining the various streams and stage events happen
Of course, it’s no secret that Fable is a great game, so the most important aspects of this release is if it’s aged well (read above) and the quality of the port. Simply put, the result is leaps and bounds above the original. Fidelity, special effects and lighting have all improved and it’s clear to see the differences in almost every area. Upgrades to characters and building exteriors are the most noticeable, with faces seeming more realistic and less pixelated and buildings revealing never-before-seen nuances. Even trees in the backgrounds and leaves on the pathways of villages are more detailed. Everything has a smooth look which gives it a nice overall aesthetic comparable to other Xbox 360 games. The only flaw in the new look is that sometimes things can be a bit too smoothed over and come across a little smeary. Sometimes the sharp edges of the original helped to keep objects separated, something that can sometimes be a problem here. The other continually noticeable boost is the lighting, with plenty of new shadow effects and nuances between different lighting situations, where as before things were basically light or dark. Overall, while it’s not perfect and hampered by the fact that practically every Xbox 360 game now looks long in the tooth, it’s certainly the preferable way to experience the game — nostalgia or not.
God of War is easily one of PlayStation’s most successful franchises, so it comes as no surprise that the gaming giant is looking to bring the series to the PlayStation 4. During E3 this year, Sony opted to announce the newest God of War game with a lengthy and emotional gameplay trail
One of the most unique yet bizarre trailers of the year was Kojima Productions’ Death Stranding Reveal Trailer at E3 2016.

Flourishes — charged up versions of each character’s basic attacks — and an AOE attack that sacrifices one heart piece, are also at the player’s disposal as they fight their way through the many enemy types that have pervaded the Fable universe. While the appearance of hollow men, hobbes, and balverines might suggest that this is a Fable game for fans to look forward to, the experience of playing it does
Gears of War has always been known for emotionally impactful trailers, and the Tomorrow trailer for Gears of War 4 is no different. The trailer offers a look into the life of JD Fenix, who must take on the calling of his father 25 years after the events of Gears of War
