News::Dragon Age: Inquisition "is done" and now "it's just polish and bug fixes" says Bioware

Dragon Age: Inquisition producer Cameron Lee told Gamereactor during an E3 interview that the game's done, and that they're on track for the October 10th release date this year. "Everyday we're playing the game, reviewing the game," he replied when we asked what's the game plan for the next couple of months after E3's finished. "We have this massive list of bugs we need to go through and fix. From now to October 7th, ever single day its bug-fixing. The game's done. It's just a matter of polishing and fixing bugs, and we're done."

News::Assassin's Creed Unity Contest Wants To Hook You

Ubisoft is readying its annual Assassin's Creed sequel, Assassin's Creed Unity, for release later this year. As part of the preorder campaign, the publisher is handing out free downloadable content to those who reserve a copy of the game. What makes this campaign notable is that it includes access to a weekly slot machine contest. Each week players can spin the online slot machine for a chance to win a variety of prizes ranging from more DLC all the way up to a trip to Paris, France. To entice those on the fence, Ubisoft will even give you the first spin of the machine for free. I like free stuff and I was curious about the slot machine game, so I used my free spin and to my delight I won a DLC code for the Hooker Impaler weapon. All I had to do to actually get the code was to log in to my Uplay account. That's reasonable; I have a Uplay account and I've linked DLC to it before for other Ubisoft titles. That's when things took a turn for the slimy.

News::Pixelitis E3 2014 Interview: Talking sidequests in The Witcher 3 with CD Projekt RED

"I may be in the minority when I say this, but I think most open-world games dont handle all of their sidequests really well. Youll get a handful of interesting ones sometimes, and then the rest will be monotonous drivel that requires the collection of some arbitrary amount of wolf pelts to appease a generic quartermaster. Ever since CD Projekt RED announced that The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt will mark the series first attempt at creating a full-blown open world, I admit that those same woes about repetitive sidequests have been a worry on my mind. Yet after watching the latest hands-off demonstration of the game earlier this month at E3 2014, I caught up with Konrad Tomaszkiewicz, the director behind the next Witcher title to rap about sidequests, along with other aspects of the game. You could say this is a sequel to the interview with Tomaszkiewicz at last years E3." - Patrick Kulikowski

News::VR vs. JRPGs

VRFocus - One of VRFocus Twitter followers recently suggested that they would like to see the impact that virtual reality (VR) could have on Japanese role-playing games (JRPGs). We cant help but agree. This is a sacred genre in the videogame industry which, in its golden age, spawned countless classics such as Chrono Trigger, Earthbound and of course the Final Fantasy series. But its hard to deny that the genre has grown somewhat stale in the decades that have followed. There have been a handful of hits in recent years such as Xenoblade Chronicles and Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch but the genre certainly doesnt enjoy the prominence it once did. Could VR remedy that?

News::Watch Dogs Review - The Digital Fix

From Digitalfix: "So you walk around Chicago, lumbering over the sidewalk and not really looking where youre going, you take in a gigantic amount of information. Youve got your smartphone out, you see, looking at that whilst going about your business just as everyone does these days in many cities, including this one. The difference with what youre reading is that its information about every person walking and driving around you. Who they are, what they do, what their salary is and how much money they have available via ATM. In many cases youll be able to hack that persons phone and see some text messages or listen to their conversation. Its simple to do, all you need is to press and hold the square button for a while. All of this mightnt sound much but this scenario is entertaining and that one button will enable many things throughout your time in Watch Dogs, bringing a fresh approach to an otherwise familiar but engaging and ultimately tired open world title."

Stop buying games? Effective, perhaps, but that's also cutting off your nose to spite your face. And hands. Emailing a publisher? Hahahahha. Hahahah. Haha. Oh, that's a good one.
