Matthew writes for Player Attack: The Player versus Player (PvP) system in The Elder Scrolls Online is just a clone of Guild Wars 2's WvW. At least that's what it appears on first glance, and doubtless that's what you'll hear a lot of in the weeks ahead.

News::Good news: Titanfall beta opening up to all players

Yesterday Titanfall experienced some down time during the closed beta period. That, coupled with a lot of codes that were apparently never delivered by EA has triggered Respawn's Vince Zampella to turn this closed beta into an open one.


Starting tonight, Xbox One users will be able to jump into the Titanfall beta through the new game demos section, followed by PC users tomorrow. In a Tweet tonight, Vince quoted developer Jon Shiring who stated "Let's break it," in regards to opening up access to everyone.


Vince expects that the servers should hold up fine, and at worst case there will be some delays finding servers during peak times. The beta will be extended by at least a day now too, so you'll have until February 18 to play.


So good news for all! This will especially help Respawn stress test the servers before the game is released March 11. Check out our Titanfall tips guide to get the edge up on others before you jump in while you're at it.

News::The 'extremely popular' Lightning may return (again)

Lightning Returns may cap the Lightning saga, but director Motomu Toriyama told Siliconera that this isn't the last we'll see of the "extremely popular character."


"For Lightning, her story ends here in Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII, as this game is meant as a finale to this series," Toriyama explains. "But we know that Lightning is an extremely popular character, even when compared to other Final Fantasy characters. So there is a possibility that Lightning would appear in other future Final Fantasy titles, not as a protagonist, but as a guest character."


Hopefully this means something more akin to Balthier and Cloud in Final Fantasy Tactics than cameos in mainline sequels. Then again, with the amount of fan service in Lightning Returns, who knows. (Admittedly, the Locke outfit looks great on Lightning)


What's most surprising, though, is Toriyama's claims that Lightning is excessively popular -- apparently more popular than other series favorites. I wonder how Square came to that conclusion.


Anyway, how about a game ten years from now called Lightning Strikes Again?

I took the shots I could, Id slogged to get here after all. Standing on that parapet I saw someone lining up a siege weapon with his friend.

News::A Divinity: Original Sin Marriage Proposal

GeekParty's Shelby Reiches writes: "The videogame marriage proposal is very much a thing, these days. It started with mods, enterprising young individuals hacking classics like Chrono Trigger or enlisting the Fallout 3 community in pursuit of a custom proposal scenario. Eventually, though, the practice evolved to the point where developers started to get involved. My favorite is the in-depth proposal constructed by Gearbox Software for a pair of avid Borderlands fans (the lucky ladys reaction can be seen here). However, a more recent effort by PopCapthe Peggle 2 devson behalf of lovebirds Rob and Shireen, certainly has the market cornered on heart-warming."

I fell in love with Game Dev Story on my iPhone (reviewed previously by this wonderful team), and thought Id upgrade to the PC version Despite it being made by a different developer in homage of the app version. I must admit, I was so swept up in the app that I forgot to check who the PC version was made by but it stays true to the original whilst changing certain aspects and incorporating some different elements."
