As leaked earlier today, Need for Speed Payback is the next instalment in EA Games’ legendary racing franchise – and it promises to be an “action racing fantasy” set in Fortune Valley, which is basically Las Vegas. The plot will see you assume the role of a trio of petrol heads, as you participate in “intense...

News Star Wars Battlefront II Gets Prime Ad Placement for E3 2017
No Half-Life 3 this year
Over the past few years it has become a bit of a pre-E3 tradition to see which game will take centre stage in terms of advertisement placement on the famous Figuerora Hotel in Los Angeles, and this year Star Wars Battlefront II takes the prize. We expect the game to have a huge presence at both EA's Play event and...
News New Star Wars Battlefront II Trailer Tells But Doesn't Show
Imperial mint
Don’t watch this new Star Wars Battlefront II trailer if you’re hoping to see something new: it fuses clips you’ve already seen with a couple of developers talking about the story campaign. How awesome is it going to be? So awesome, apparently. Presumably we’ll actually get to see more of the anticipated addition at E3...
News EA Axes Mass Effect as BioWare Montreal Is Scaled Down
Reaper what you sow
You should know the saying by now: release a sub-par game and EA’s going to make you pay the price. Not heard that one before? No, us neither, but it sounds like Mass Effect: Andromeda’s mixed reception may have temporarily put a nail in the coffin of the once excellent sci-fi series. The ever-reliable Jason Schreier of...
News EA Expects Digital to Account for Almost Half of Game Sales Soon
The digital future is coming
You may not like it, but the digital future is coming. While physical still very much has its place – and publishers are doing pretty cool things with their retail products these days – the reality is that purchases on the PlayStation Store are on the rise, and it’s only a matter of time before digital transactions...
News Mass Effect: Andromeda PS4 Patch Will Address More Problems Tomorrow
We just don't know which right now
It’s been over a month since Mass Effect: Andromeda’s awful eyes were improved, and we’d like to think that BioWare’s been busy behind-the-scenes. The good news is that it’s launching a new patch for its maligned role-playing game tomorrow (or potentially today depending on your timezone); the bad news is...
News Need for Speed 2017 Will Be Playable Entirely Offline
Expect customisation and cop chases
The last Need for Speed game wasn’t great, was it? Bizarrely, we enjoyed the 90s-inspired FMV cut-scenes and silly storyline, but the actual racing itself fell flat for us: the open world was forgettable, the driving was bland, and the always-online aspect was a source of strong criticism for some. In fact, so...

News Star Wars Battlefront 2 Leaves Season Pass in a Galaxy Far, Far Away
DICE doesn't want to fragment community
With games like Overwatch keeping their communities engaged through free content updates and paid cosmetics, the Season Pass is starting to sound old hat these days. And another big budget blockbuster has ditched the divisive DLC model, with Star Wars Battlefront 2 deciding to do away with the paid content...

News Star Wars Battlefront 2 Leak Leads to EA Clamp Down
Will span all Star Wars eras
Update (17:15 BST): EA is pulling the trailer from every channel it possibly can, so honestly your best bet right now is to just wait until Saturday to watch the official thing. We'll obviously post it here as soon as we have it. Original Article: Star Wars Battlefront 2's debut trailer has leaked ahead of this...
News Have Mass Effect: Andromeda's Weird Eyes Been Fixed?
Everyone's face is a lot less tired
A new patch is out for Mass Effect: Andromeda on the PlayStation 4 which promises to improve the game's weird eyes. As was demonstrated by the slew of GIFs around launch, the title had some dodgy shaders on characters' optics which caused them to look… Well, a bit half-soaked, shall we say? But the latest patch...

Eye eye captain
Mass Effect: Andromeda's first big update is now available on PlayStation 4. Patch 1.05 promises a slew of improvements to BioWare's recently released title, which launched in a rough state. The update weighs in at around 2.2GB. Improvements include better looking eyes for human and Asari characters, increased inventory limits, and...

News A Bunch of Mass Effect: Andromeda Bugs Are Being Worked On
Face off
Only adding fuel to the 'wait six months before you buy it' debate, Mass Effect: Andromeda launched in a sorry state last week. The game's not outright broken, but it's easily one of the buggiest big-budget titles that we've played on PlayStation 4. Fortunately, EA and BioWare are on the case. A list of known bugs has been posted over on...

In space, no one can hear you meme
About half an hour into our Mass Effect: Andromeda playthrough, squadmate and cocky Londoner Liam snapped into a t-pose – arms in the air as if he was being crucified – and refused to come out of it until we reloaded our game. We had heard that BioWare's latest was buggy, but we couldn't have imagined just how...
Poll Are You Enjoying Mass Effect: Andromeda?
Star wars
Another Friday, another poll. With Mass Effect: Andromeda now sitting comfortably inside many a PlayStation 4, it's time for us to ask what you think of the game so far. From what we can tell, opinions seem to be very split on BioWare's latest release; some veteran fans love it, others think it's a huge disappointment, and we've seen...
News Mass Effect: Andromeda Multiplayer Already Has a New Character
That was fast
Mass Effect: Andromeda only launched yesterday in Europe, but its multiplayer mode is already seeing support in the form of a new playable character and mission. The newcomer is the Krogan Gladiator, who likes nothing more than to smash her enemies with her hammer. You can unlock her via the usual card packs. We've played a few hours...
Guide Mass Effect: Andromeda Tips and Tricks for Rookie Pathfinders
Side quests, combat, and co-op tips
The quest to find humanity a new home in an entirely new galaxy is a tough one, and rookie Ryders will likely need all the help that they can get.
