There’s been an impressive range of requests from fans regarding the lineup, though the usual suspects are all accounted for. Bandai Namco has confirmed its involvement, which has led to a tide of speculation that the ever-elusive Elden Ring will be present at the show in some form. It’s been a long time since fans received any official word on the game’s status, though nothing has been confirmed about showing up at E3....
The Entertainment Software Association has announced E3 Live 2016, an event specifically catered towards the gamers themselves, rather than press and industry insiders. E3 Live won’t replace the traditional E3 experience, but it will instead run simultaneously just down the street from E3. While E3 is being held in the Los Angeles Convention Center, E3 Live 2016 will be held in the L.A. Live in Downtown Los Angeles. The ESA has promised that E3 Live 2016 will offer hands-on demos and the opportunity to try out new gaming gadgets and virtual reality gear....
Although the news that EA is making a lot of money from DLC is nothing particularly surprising, the amount is staggering, and it continues to be driven by the Ultimate Team microtransaction service within each EA Sports franchise. Ultimate Team is the largest contributor to the earnings in extra content, and is key to the NHL, Madden, and FIFA franchises. Ultimate Team allows players to buy, trade, and sell player cards to each other for real or in-game money....
In fact, this year’s EA Play event is shaping up to be one of the most exciting in recent memory. Thanks to some unverified leaks, it seems as though EA Play is going to have an especially impressive lineup this year, and so fans should definitely make it a point to tune in come July 22, just in case there’s any truth to rumors.

Nonetheless, ESPN NFL 2K5 fans have consistently complained about the run-blocking physics and AI, or lack thereof, in the Madden NFL series, including Madden NFL 10. EA Sports is not ignoring these cries and appears to be targeting these disenchanted gamers with its next iteration of the series. On the Madden NFL 11 blog, Mike Scantlebury, a gameplay designer for Electronic Arts Tiburon, debuted the “totally new” run-blocking AI for Madden NFL 11 and explained what football fans can expect:...
In the middle of all this, The Consumerist carried out its annual Worst Company in America poll and, for the second consecutive year, EA came out on top and claimed the not-very-coveted Golden Poo award. It could definitely be argued that there are far more morally reprehensible companies in America to choose from, but from a consumer standpoint EA had trodden on a lot of toes due to business moves like micro-transactions and online passes....
The 54-yard punt from New York’s Ryan Quigley looked good, going toward the sideline, but he actually outkicked his coverage a little bit. That gave Sproles some open field before he had to dodge any tacklers. Sproles then did just that, evading at least four clear opportunities for the Jets to bring him down. The Eagles took a 10-0 lead, their largest of the young season. MORE: Photos from Week 3 action | Grading Chip Kelly’s moves...
It’s not unusual for rookies to dislike such videos as they learn the ropes of the NFL. But this video is actually of the No. 13 overall pick dominating his opponent, second-round pick Cam Jurgens, in a one-on-one drill. The video shows Davis (6-6, 336 pounds) bullrushing Jurgens (6-3, 303 pounds). He manages to get under Jurgens’ pads, pushing him back several feet before the end of the rep....
The Eagles used the 20th pick to select Agholor, a versatile wide receiver from the USC. At 6-0, 198 pounds, Agholor is fast (4.42 40-yard time at the NFL Combine) and talented enough to play both inside and outside in Chip Kelly’s fast-paced offense.

The Volatiles are even more dangerous in Dying Light 2 than they are in the game’s predecessor. They can kill Aiden with one hit and are extremely fast, so even the best Parkour skills won’t always cut it. The best way to avoid and fight back against them is by using sources of ultraviolet light with the UV Flashlight being the best. However, the UV Flashlight won’t become available until the “Welcome On Board” story mission which can take some time....
Despite the first-person action and the horror elements, Dying Light 2 seems to take more of an RPG-immersive sim approach. The world looks like a grittier, more realistic take on the apocalypse that will focus heavily on the inter-political relationships of a group of warring factions. The demo begins with a set-up for the world, calling attention to the fact that Dying Light 2 will feature an ambitious approach to factions....
In a response to a Tweet regarding the game’s length, Techland confirmed that the game’s story will take a fairly lengthy 80 hours to finish, and that if a player wanted to reach 100% completion, then they’ll have to strap in for a whopping 500 hour experience. While some fans are expressing excitement over this, a lot of the industry is wondering if that’s a smart move on Techland’s part, as building a compelling 500 hour game is pretty difficult....
When I asked an audiophile nerd friend who he thought these air-purifying headphones were aimed at, he said that they’re for Bane from Batman: The Dark Knight Rises “when he gets a job at a call center.” And he might be right. “These headphones are clearly meant to be used by people who live in heavily-polluted areas,” Troy Portillo, musician and online learning expert, told Lifewire via email. “However, there are often correlations between poverty and areas of high pollution levels, so there is an obvious disconnect with these headphones costing almost one thousand dollars....
E-Book Technology The technology that works on an E-book reader for PC is known as the E-ink technology, and it works by using tiny microcapsules suspended in a liquid that is placed within a layer of film. These microcapsules are as wide as a human hair, and contain positively charged white particles and negatively charged black particles. The application of a negative electrical field makes the white particles appear to the surface, while a positive electrical field causes the black particles to appear at the surface....
Essentially a Modern Warfare version of Treyarch’s Zombie Mode, Survival pits two players against an escalating wave of enemy types. Though it isn’t an entirely new mode, Survival does put some new spins on the variant in order to make it feel fresh. Obviously the biggest difference between Survival and Zombie Mode is the game’s use of more realistic enemies — a.k.a. no zombies. The mode does, however, feature an escalating intensity of enemies — from better-equipped general infantry to boss battle-esque sequences against things like helicopters — to make sure the team feels challenged....
The Witcher 2 had previously been only available on the PC, but plans for a console release have finally come to pass and the game will be seeing the light of day in living rooms.

The company will be bringing a full adaptation of the game to consoles and will not be neglecting any features present in the PC version....

This gameplay video for Vampyr, however, does not just focus on location and on atmosphere, but instead offers up a first real look at how the game will play. As gamers may expect from the developers of Life is Strange, the brief gameplay trailer reveals a dialogue system that will allow players to navigate situations and help keep a balance between the different factions of the title. However, the footage also shows off some of the combat system in the game....

EA senior community manager Daniel Lingen recently offered up a glimpse of hope for a potential revival of the Skate series, tweeting out a short and simple hashtag alluding to the existence of Skate 4. Of course, fans should not be too excited just yet because it was only last May that Electronic Arts stated on Twitter that a new Skate game is not in development. While much could have changed since EA’s tweet, Lingen’s new tweet is still not an official confirmation, so take this seemingly out-of-the-blue Skate 4 hashtag with a grain of salt....
