Electronic Arts has said that Skate 4 might use user-generated content in its open world, to maximise on the current trends in the industry (via IGN).

In a sadly expected move, veteran development studio Vicarious Visions has been rebranded as Blizzard Albany. “We’ve officially merged with Blizzard Entertainment,” the developer tweeted today. “Our development team will remain in Albany, NY and fully dedicated to Blizzard games.” The developer then shared a link to the main Blizzard Twitter account, and invited its current followers to join them there. Last year, Vicarious Visions staff were reportedly told about this rebranding on a company call....

This Snowpiercer review contains spoilers. Snowpiercer Episode 1 Before I discuss the series Snowpiercer, I need to be honest. I haven’t seen the movie. I’m going to at some point, but probably not during this first season of the series. I’d like to treat the series as a stand-alone thing as much as possible, and I’ll leave comparisons to others. With that out of the way, the television show, which is a prequel to the movie, deserves to be looked at on its own merits, and I feel qualified to do so....

The original version of Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic featured a gladiator planet that would have seen the player work their way through the ranks of the arena. “We did cut an entire planet that we’d actually developed and built part of,” says KOTOR lead designer James Ohlen in the new book, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic. “Having to cut his world was particularly painful. But it was simply a time thing....

What original Xbox user hadn’t heard of the $200, insanely difficult, 40-button behemoth controller, giant mech game, Steel Battalion? It took video gaming to an entirely different level by giving gamers the most realistic experience they could. It also took frustration to an entirely new level, because not surprisingly, being a Vertical Tank pilot is extremely, soul-crushingly hard. This turned off many players, as did the hefty price tag. However, for those that put in the time and effort, the game was brilliant, and in all likelihood these same players were extremely excited to see that after so many years, they will finally get to revisit the ultra-realistic mech sim again in the sequel, Steel Battalion: Heavy Armor....
