DC and Warner Bros. received a lot of criticism for
being too overwhelmingly dark and gloomy, and it seems like they are attempting
to make up for it in the upcoming suicide squad film. Apparently they are
reshooting to give the film a more humorous feel to it. Rumor has it that these
changes will be huge as it is costing the studio millions to reshoot.
Final Fantasy is one of the best series in gaming
history which is why it is exciting to see the next installment in the series,
Final Fantasy XV, get its own feature film. The film is supposed to release
this summer, and the game will be released sometime in September.
Mass Effect Andromeda will be the latest installment
into the series, only this time with a twist. This time around humans will be
the invading force. Humans will find themselves in a deadly war with hostile
indigenous species in an effort to claim the new planet for colonization.
Apparently the game will provide an innovative seamless open world experience
in a new galaxy ripe for exploration. The game is bound to be a smash hit at
E3.
Fans of Far Cry Primal, the new survival game that
puts the player in the shoes of a caveman, are in for a treat this April. In an
upcoming update “Survivor Mode” will add a new dimension to player experience.
Survivor Mode is supposed to give the player a more realistic experience. The
new game mode will give the player a stamina meter that will deplete as your
character engages in vigorous activities making them slower and weak. The mini
map will not be available in survivor mode making traveling much more
challenging. Crafting items won’t be an instant process anymore and instead it
will be more time consuming. What’s also interesting is that the game will give
the player the option to enable permadeath, meaning if you die once it’s game
over. I for one am very excited for the new challenge.
