UPDATE!!!!!!: Microsoft has revealed that the console will actually be named the Xbox One X. No price has been given as of yet, but stay tuned! The console has been confirmed for a November 17th launch day. The $499 price has been confirmed as well. For a while now, Microsoft has been using the name “Project Scorpio” to codename their next console which will reportedly be the most powerful console ever made. Well, just before the Microsoft Press Conference at E3, a Best Buy Canada Newsletter released a picture that seems to indicate that the console will be called Xbox Scorpio. Adding to the interesting tidbits before the conference, video game journalist, insider, and reporter Geoff Keighley noted this on Twitter: I can now say with confidence Project Scorpio is $499. Unless something changes today, that is what will be announced. — Geoff Keighley (@geoffkeighley) June 11, 2017 Interesting, so we may have the name and the console price at the ready. Guess we’ll find out soon

E3 2017: DICE Reveals Why FIFA 18 On Switch Is Different

E3 2017: DICE Reveals Why FIFA 18 On Switch Is Different

, , , , , , 0

When Electronic Arts arrived at the Nintendo Switch reveal event and noted that FIFA 18 would be coming to the system, people were excited. But then, some rumors were spreading that this version would be a “dumbed down” port instead of a true FIFA experience. At the EA Play event yesterday, that was proven to not be the case. As many features were coming to the Switch version of the game, and EA themselves noted that this version was custom built for the Switch. However, there were two notable differences, one was that The Journey (aka the story mode) was not going to be in the Switch version, and also, the engine powering the game was not Frostbite, but a special engine made for the Switch. When asked why The Journey wasn’t coming to the Switch version, producer Andrei Lazaresco told Eurogamer, “The Journey is powered by Frostbite. When we looked at the platform and its unique features, we made the choice of custom-building the game.” This was also their logic for not

While E3 technically hasn’t started yet, that didn’t stop Electronic Arts from unveiling a lot of games in a special event just before it, as well as going into detail about one of the most anticipated games of the the years in Star Wars Battlefront 2. DICE is once again taking us to a Galaxy Far, Far Away, but this time, there’s a story in it. At their special event, EA revealed a brand new trailer (see below) and new details on what to expect. For example, there will be DLC in the game, however, it won’t be paid, or via a Season Pass. Instead, EA and DICE are giving it away for free in “seasons.” With each one delivering new and exciting content. For example, the first pack of DLC will be inspired by the upcoming film The Last Jedi. There’s likely to be more news coming as E3 officially kicks off, so stay tuned for more of our coverage.

E3 is almost here! Who will be releasing the big news first, and when? This is the order in which the world’s top game makers will be showing off their goods. June 10: EA Games 12 p.m. PDT / 3 p.m. EDT Expected: Chatter about their bread-and-butter sports titles (Madden, FIFA), the next Need For Speed game, and their next Star Wars project. June 11: Microsoft  2 p.m. PDT / 5 p.m. EDT Expected: Scorpio, and lots of it! Sony has a one-year head start with the PS4 Pro; Microsoft has to convince the buying public their upgrade is better. You can also expect the usual brown and grey FPS footage, but possibly another look at Rare’s comeback gambit Sea of Thieves (and, hopefully, some kind of release window). Bethesda 9 p.m. PDT / 12 a.m. EDT Expected: No one truly knows what to expect from Bethesda this year. Rumor has it they’ll be announcing something big, and they would have to given there’s nothing spectacular in their immediate future.

Beyond Good & Evil 2 Not Being Shown At E3

The long-awaited Beyond Good & Evil 2, which was announced last year, won’t be shown at this year’s upcoming E3. Series creator Michel Ancel made the announcement, confirming the absence of the game as he did not feel it would be the best time or place to show off progress. However, it looks like an official reveal will be coming at some point later in the year. “Not sure that E3 would be the best place to showcase Bg&e2,” Ancel said on Instagram. “But we’re working on the game so sometime this year, you should hear about it!” Since Ubisoft confirmed that the game was in development, very little information has been given out. What we do know is that Ancel is splitting development time between Beyond Good & Evil 2 and his PS$ exclusive game Wild.

Could Nintendo Save Some E3 Surprises For The Treehouse Event?

Could Nintendo Save Some E3 Surprises For The Treehouse Event?

, , , , 0

Last week, Nintendo revealed their plans for E3, aka the Electronic Entertainment Expo. First up, on June 13th, they’ll have a “Nintendo Spotlight” where they’ll reveal more about the games of 2017, and potentially 2018. Then, right after that, they’ll be doing a Nintendo Treehouse where teammates and developers will talk about games that are upcoming for the Nintendo Switch and 3DS. Nothing out of the ordinary, right? But…on the Nintendo E3 site, there has been some new text put in the Treehouse Event section, it reads: “Stay tuned after the Nintendo Spotlight, as the experts from Treehouse play through upcoming games for Nintendo Switch and the Nintendo 3DS family of systems, show behind-the-scenes info, and maybe even share some surprises.” This is both interesting and curious, for you have to wonder what surprises they would rather share on the Treehouse event rather than the spotlight. Also of interesting note, only the Treehouse Event talks about the 3DS in its description, while the Spotlight only notes the Nintendo Switch. Could

E3 2016: Sony’s Press Conference Did Not Get Changed

Sony had a very good E3, which really got kicked off via their Press Conference. New games, returning favorites, and the PSVR were all on display. However, many felt the ending of the conference, which usually holds a major reveal, was a let down, as it was simply gameplay for Days Gone. This lead to rumors stating that the conference plan was changed just before it happened. But, according to vice president of third party relations at PlayStation Adam Boyes, this couldn’t be further from the truth. As he revealed on Twitter: “no, this is not true. The length and content we showed has been locked and unchanged for months.” The rumors of Red Dead Redemption 2 and other games were the reason for this rumor, thought it appears to have been wrong.
