    Report: Marvel vs. Capcom 4 Due Out in 2017

    I really hope this is coming to PC as well. Keep the trend going, Capcom.

    Two Worlds III Development Announced

    If I remember correctly, TWT2 had a very good voice actor for the main role, and decent humour. It then followed with an expansion where both those things were gone. I also hope the teams' UI designer has improved since then, though it's possible they didn't have one to begin with. The...

    Robert Englund, Mark Hamill, and Loads More Announced for Master of Orion

    Damnation, with that voice cast I'll have to buy it... Still want some control over ship-to-ship combat.

    Game of Thrones' Daenerys Targaryen Recreated in Dragon Age

    Agreed, it does look a bit like her, in a few very particular situations. The character creator in this game could have been a thing of greatness. And I'm not complaining about the hair.

    Dragon Age: Inquisition Review - Monumental

    Sooo... got the game. On PC. Haven't had that much time with it yet, but it seems like a fun game. There are, however, things that drive me nuts: - The controls are horrendous. Without going into detail, there's not even click to move. - The "tactical" view is half baked - The UI of...

    Dragon Age: Inquisition Review - Monumental

    Will start playing this soon enough and hopefully Greg's fanatic praise of the game is well founded. If the Escapist decides to task Greg with the review of TW3 in a few months, it better not be a repeat of how things went the last time the two series had fresh outings.

    The Crew Boots Players Back to Title Screen When Their Internet Drops

    No, Mr. Gerighty. The elegant solution would be for a tire to suffer a blowout, for the driver to lose control and have a horrific rollover crash ending in a giant ball of raging inferno. Then you fade to the title screen and put up a bloody "attempting to re-establish server connection".

    Titanfall Dev Explains The Game's 35 GB of Uncompressed Audio

    Just an idea, Respawn... During installation, check what CPU the system is running. If it's a dual-core close to the minimum specs, then decompress the audio. Otherwise it's just a lame excuse about being too lazy to properly optimize your game. Also, where are them decent-rez textures?

    New BlazBlue Skips Xbox 360, Dev Says It'd be "An Inferior Version"

    There's nothing in a fighting game that could make it not fit on a dual layer DVD, except for possibly the cutscenes. Making a PC version of this shouldn't be that difficult either, considering the arcade machine (Taito Type X²) is a PC running Windows XP Embedded. Put it on STEAM and the...

    The Naked Catwoman Panels That Ended Up On DC's Cutting Room Floor

    Hmm, I'm not exactly following the comics but in some of those panels her face looks more like the Joker's than any of the previous Catwoman renditions I've seen. Anyone else seeing it that way?

    Tomb Raider Made Money Despite Publisher's Early Disappointment

    One of the best games I played last year. So, the Steam version of the game gets a free patch to "Definitive Edition"?

    Jimquisition: Joy Begets Anger

    OK, you do have a point. I could have typed something like "My opinion, backed by over 20 years of gaming and 8 years of work in graphic and UX design, is that The Wither 2 has more interesting level design, superior visuals and better realized interface. On the other hand, I find DA2...

    Jimquisition: Joy Begets Anger

    This might get a bit off topic but OK, I'll bite. It's been a while since I played them, so just a few basic things: - TW2 has some of the most impressive visuals on release, and it still holds excellent over two years later. In comparison DA2 looks like a drab mix of brown and grey...

    Jimquisition: Joy Begets Anger

    I have no problems with Greg liking Dragon Age 2. My issue is with him, as a professional reviewer, giving such a flawed game a perfect score and calling it "A pinnacle of role-playing games with well-designed mechanics" and "what videogames are meant to be". Then, he goes on to do a TW2...

    Xbox One Includes a Headset After All

    What I don't get it, why is the headset such a big deal? Doesn't everybody already own one? Or is it some new kind of propitiatory jack that won't have adapters available for less than a month after launch?
