EA Play 2016 Minute Recap

An impressive lineup this year for EA's upcoming titles

Battlefield 1

Today's EA E3 Conference revealed many anticipated releases later this year or early next year. Some of which include the much talked-about Battlefield 1; which is slated for a fall release.

A trailer showed for the first time here shows brand new gameplay footage this time, rather than the in-engine reveal seen last month.

An hour live stream (with numerous celebrity guests including the likes of Zac Efron, Jamie Foxx, Wiz Kalifa and Snoop Dogg) showed the game being played in front of an audience for the first time.

It's beautifully satisfying.

Titanfall 2

Titanfall also made an appearance with exclusive gameplay coverage and an all-new campaign feature - a first for the franchise - encapsulating the relationship between man and titan.

The multiplayer can be expected to remain much of the same, boasting additional perks and upgrades.

Mass Effect Andromeda

My personal favorite, Mass Effect Andromeda got a sweet two-minute trailer; ascribing to (exactly) what those of us following the leaks were told.

In this fresh installment, you play as a pathfinder (Ryder?) who commands the tempest around the Andromeda galaxy, to search for a new home for humanity.

As an alien species to this new sector of the universe, we will be met with hostility - formidable foes (Cerberus?) along with trustworthy allies.

Madden and Fifa 17

On the sports, Madden 17 and Fifa 17 are looking great, as usual. We didn't hear much in terms of what's new on the feature side of Madden, but it was reported Fifa sports a very realistic campaign following a young talent, entering the likes of competitive football; facing adversary in getting recognized and struggling with reputation in the public eye.

Bethesda's up next

In a few minutes we'll see what Bethesda has in store for us!

Time Manipulation in Game Design

Time Manipulation in Games Introduction The gameplay mechanic that I wish I had come up with first, is Time Manipulation. This is includes the concept of time dilation and the reversal of time in games. Implementing the Manipulation of Time Time manipulation is a robust mechanic. It involves non-exploitable time manipulation, with the goal of being fast and smooth, while not computationally-taxing on memory or hardware resources. The best way to implement this mechanic can be seen in Braid - an indie platform and puzzle game, developed by Number None, Inc. In this game, the world state is recorded for every frame, where the data is stored and compressed. With the recorded frames, any changing entities are extracted and mixed into the final state, which can be manipulated or rewound by the player. The player’s position is recorded and other properties such as color and rotation are stored as an integer that can be reconstructed, along with time information taken fro...

CoD Advanced Warfare - 7 Things That Don't Make ANY Sense

Plot (*SPOILERS) In 2054, Jack Mitchell, a new recruit in the U.S. Marine Corps, along with his best friend Will Irons, are deployed to Seoul. The assignment is an effort to repel North Korean forces from advancing into South Korea.

Instead of the peace and security that was Atlas’ illusory purpose, Irons stands for total domination, as the only standing political power. Atlas later develops Manticore, a biological age...

What Went Wrong With ME Andromeda's Facial Animations

It's in the Eyes The human iris has a natural in half-moon shape, with the upper eyelids covering nearly half of the iris. In Mass Effect Andromeda, the characters' irises are dead in the center of their eyes, with the upper lids way too high for it to look anything but unnerving. To top it off, most of the characters' eyes are far too wide and the lower lids are way too low - which only adds to the creepiness factor - especially during a lengthy conversation. Characters like Addison, have faces that simply look frozen in shock. The characters in Andromeda, also have extremely prominent pupils; and to top it off, their eyes constantly dart about unnaturally. This not in regular saccades like we do when looking back and forth between subjects. Coupled with very wide eyes, this looks downright terrifying. Horrendous Facial Expressions To make matters worse, the mouths of many characters in Andromeda...
