‘Games As A Service’- A Big Problem For Gamers
Buy Once, Pay for Ever. That’s ‘Games as a Service’ Games as a service (abbreviated GaaS) simply means paying a monthly subscription fee to avail games or game related content on a regular base. Games as a service rob the title of games as a product and instead labels it as a service. For example, purchasing a movie on a disc is a product for which you only pay once but paying Netflix or Hulu on a monthly to watch the same movie is a service. But, paying Netflix or Hulu for their monthly services makes sense, but it does not make much sense when it comes to video games. In games as a service, you, as a player, purchase the original game for an approximate price tag of $60 and pay a monthly subscription fee to the developers to the game to continue playing the game. Games as a service is a ...
Titanfall 2 Won’t Be A Part Of EA Origin Access
Last month came as a huge disappointment for PC gamers when Respawn Entertainment announced that the open beta for their upcoming game Titanfall 2 won’t be available on the PC. Now, getting your hands on the game may not seem like a possibility at all, because the game won’t feature in Origin Access, or EA Access for that matter.

Stay tuned for further updates. For more news and r...
EA Says It “Learned Valuable Things” From Titanfall 2 Tech Test, Promises To Add Tweaks For Next Open Beta Update
You may know that the highly anticipated, upcoming title Titanfall 2 recently got an open beta on the Xbox One and the PS 4. The PC was left out because the developers said that they haven’t optimized the game yet for the different possible configurations. After the tech test, as EA calls it, got over, they said that they had learned quite a few valuable things, and will add some changes before the next tech test takes place, with pilot mobility being on the top of the list. The mobility mechanics were changed to address the problems of Titanfall. “We identified two major issues we wanted to solve in Titanfall 2. The first is that a lack of player predictability would often cause players to be shot from the back or sides. While flanking is an important part of gameplay death often fe...
Titanfall 2 Single-Player Inspired By DOOM, Wolfenstein: The New Order
Unlike the first title that was completely a multiplayer experience, Titanfall 2 will include a single player campaign which will compliment the multiplayer. The fans had asked for it, the developers are giving it to them, and from the sound of it, it may turn out to be brilliant after all. In an interview with IGN, designer Mackey McCandlish stated,”I think having made as many games as some of the people on the team have, we start to look for opportunities to stretch our limbs and make something that would excite us,” McCandlish said. “We’ve all been influenced by Half-Life and Bioshock and didn’t really have the opportunity to bring that level of pacing and player-centric conflict to games like Call of Duty that are so much about a squad. So this was a reall...
