Ea Files Trademark For Simocean

Today, Electronic Arts trademarked the title SimOcean in Europe. Since this is one of the earliest steps to take in the development of a game, no official information about it has been released - likely, all that information would be tentative to change anyway. What it does mean, however, is that EA may be preparing to give the Sims franchise a long-awaited breath of fresh air. It only makes sense that the project would be handed to Maxis to develop, who are currently working on the new SimCity reboot....

According to GameSpot, Electronic Arts COO Peter Moore spoke at a conference today regarding the publisher’s plans for the Nintendo Switch. Moore was unwilling to divest any promises of support, however, preferring instead to maintain distance with the platform: Moore added that, “We’re going to watch with interest,” along with other major publishers, noting that Nintendo’s ability to leverage its major intellectual properties is always impressive.

Dying Light 2 Switch Version Coming Through The Cloud

The Switch is not as powerful as other platforms and hardware requirements will only increase as more developers start focusing on next-generation consoles.

E.T. Phone Home

The homesick Indian students I knew therefore never called home. They couldn’t afford to. Most of us were here on scholarships; once tuition and room rent had been deducted, we lived on less than $100 a month, and a one-minute call home, even for a very special occasion, meant skipping a couple of meals. One ingenious Calcuttan friend–let’s call him Chattopadhyaya–devised an elaborate stratagem to give his folks news of his welfare....

With the release of Demon’s Souls in 2009 and Dark Souls in 2011, the concept of difficulty in RPGs shifted, and the acceptance of challenge as an aspect of design took more mainstream prominence. “Souls-like” games such as Nioh and Code Vein started to crop up, continuing on the path that FromSoftware had opened up....
