Fallen Order decided to drop the "mac daddy" of all spoilers by revealing the very last 5 minutes of the entire game to set up the next instalment. The Thanksgiving Day commercial let slip that Darth Vader would be the final boss which might possibly be the biggest slip in the entire Star Wars unive

Releasing only a few very vague promotional pieces before dropping an 8-minute long short film, Kojima's legend precedes him yet again. While it was necessary to give fans something to cling to, the marketing for Death Stranding reveals some key moments in a generally unstructured g

Instead, those who tuned in for the event were instead treated to a long presentation about i ts new Prime Matter publishing label . In some ways, it felt more like a presentation aimed at developers and potential partners than one geared towards gamers, with very little on offer in the way of new gameplay footage and trailers. That said, there were one or two nice surprises on of

BW: It may not be for me to say, but yes, since you asked, it is the best of all possible DCU/Fables crossovers, in my not very humble opinion. I’ve wanted to have these two characters meet for years, and finally got to write it. I don’t know if you could call it a dream come true, but it’s certainly a longstanding ambition come t

One of the biggest new features that Fable should look at incorporating is a complete overhaul of the series' morality system. Morality plays a massive role in Fable games, and it has evolved quite a lot over the course of three games. Fable should look at deepening the morality system and making it feel much more modern and reactive to the player's actions. A system similar to the Warner Brothers' Nemesis System , something that has in-game characters/villain react to choices, would be a great way to do this while also making the player feel as though they have a greater impact on Albion. Having an evil character lead to more good heroes rising up to fight them or a good character leading to more powerful and crazier evil characters would add a lot to Fable 's replayability while making every person's save also unique and more perso

To be sure, Elder Scrolls fans are disappointed to know that Starfield is coming before Elder Scrolls 6 , and fans have wanted a new game in the series for a long time. Despite that, Fable 's situation is still completely different from that of The Elder Scrolls. Nobody has been producing endless content for the franchise to keep fans sated in the meantime. While there's all kinds of Elder Scrolls games to play right now, there's really no new Fable content for fans to enjoy right now. That's what makes the long wait ahead of Elder Scrolls 6 more bearable while simultaneously framing how important it is that the Fable reboot comes out s

However, player expectations have changed significantly from when Fable 3 released. If Fable wants to attract new players to the series, which it surely does, it will also have to make sure it looks modern enough to be worth their time to check out. Even Fable fans will want it to feel like a jump into the future for the series as nobody will want to buy a brand new game that feels like it should have released over a decade ago. To do this, Steam library Management Fable will definitely have to find a balance of updating the game's older systems, like the iconic Fable morality system , while introducing some new elements to bring it into the modern

Sony's decision to once again pass on the expo no doubt played a big part in this, with many PS5 exclusives likely being saved for the company's next State of Play event. The ongoing global pandemic won't have helped much either, with the development of many upcoming games having been hindered by COVID-19 . With any luck, though, updates on some of E3's big name absentees will not be too far a

BW: Mark Buckingham was my chief worry about this project. I didn’t want to do it without him, but I didn’t know if he’d be available. The often-frustrating reality about our business is the best of the best artists keep pretty busy. They aren’t just sitting around waiting for me to come along, so I was plenty worried about what we’d do if he wasn’t available. And let’s be honest: Mark Buckingham is the second-best artist working in comics to

A character that is more prone for betrayal as well could give an incentive for the player to kill them, even with every system that currently marks that as the absolute last option that should be taken. So now the player chooses, kill a traitor for the greater good, because they're too much of a risk to be left alone, or try to reach out to them again with the possibility that they could cause more damage. This is exactly the kind of tough choice that Kojima Productions is known for forcing into its narratives, but could have an even stronger effect by making the decision completely up to the pla

Given its PlayStation exclusivity, few, if any, will have expected to see the new God of War game making an appearance at E3 2021. In that sense, expectations were well and truly met. All the same though, the absence of God of War and other big first-party titles from Sony perhaps highlights the impact that the company's decision not to attend E3 is having on the ev
