The Dead Rising franchise has always been known for one thing – putting a time limit to tasks, thus introducing an urgency with sometimes quite harsh punishments, including a game restart. In spite of having all the freedom to explore, the time limit bound you to completing the tasks in the give boundation, or face the consequences. The upcoming title will abandon the system completely. Unlike Dead Rising 3, in which adhering to the time limit was optional, this time Frank West is going to have all the time in the world to explore the world and kill zombies. Though we don’t know how to feel about ripping a game of its most iconic element, even Dead Rising 3 wasn’t exactly a bad game (and the time limit in that was completely useless, mind you). But we can probably expect ...

When ReCore was first announced at the E3 conference this year, the game looked like delightfully surprising, a fresh take on action-adventure video games by the great minds who gave us classics like Metroid Prime and Mega Man. Now, combining those two can’t possible seem to be a bad idea, can it? However, the gameplay trailer may tell a different story altogether. While we’re definitely not saying that the game will be disappointing, it certainly does seem a little different than what we had expected it to be. Looking more of a take on Capcom’s Lost Planet than Metroid Prime and Mega Man, it seems to be a little too stiff when it comes to the gameplay, whether it’s the navigation, jumping or the general motion. We certainly hope it’s just the trailer and not...

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...
