Hi there 🤖 👋

Director of the EverQuest franchise development David Georgeson has made a habit in the past of defending the free-to-play business model used by an increasing number of MMOs, demanding no asking price for players to dive in, and leaving the payments (in the form of extra content or items) up to them. So it’s no surprise that is the exact business model gamers can expect to see in the latest from the franchise, EverQuest Next....

[HTML1] While most games these days tend to make it their priority to take complicated, expansive gameplay systems and make them as streamlined and action-focused as possible, the team behind Dragon Age: Inquisition is heading the opposite direction. After highlighting action over detail-oriented strategy with Dragon Age 2, BioWare is not only bringing back the original game’s tactical combat, but throwing more tricks than ever before into the mix - and letting their players figure out how they would like to play....

For Dragon Age II, BioWare has vowed not to repeat the sins of Origins, but instead promise to make the titles equally impressive across all platforms. What each of those versions — console and PC — will also be sporting is a newly revamped combat system that keeps the strategic elements of Origins, but also offers a faster paced style. For those who might be worried that Dragon Age II might have lost some of its spirit as compared to Origins, Producer Fernando Melo says that’s not the case....

While on The Jump, Perkins highlighted issues with the idea of Simmons joining the Dubs.

Europa Universalis IV comes after the well-received Crusader Kings 2 and appropriately picks up right where its predecessor left off. Instead of worrying about dynasties is the 4X (explore, expand, exploit, and exterminate) followup, players now embody a nation throughout the ages of the Renaissance and industrial revolution, competing against hundreds of other nations of varying sizes in a game which gets complicated very, very quickly. Europa Universalis features a learning curve so steep that new players will have to accept they’ll be losing more often than not, but that’s what makes the game so good....

It’s why the ridiculous, outlandish, and brilliant out-of-body experience that is Driver: San Francisco had so much to prove....
