EA posts job listing for ‘open world Star Wars game’

Ominous Is it safe to say that EA won’t attempt to pack microtransactions into anotherStar Warsgame again after what happened withBattlefront 2? No, it’s not, but I think they’ll be more cautious about it in the future. It wasn’t enough of a dealbeaker for Disney either, as it seems like EA is hard at work with anotherStar Warstitle — an “open world” project. Based on a job listing on EA’s official site, the position calls for a seat at EA Vancouver for a Lead Online Engineer, to work on an online infrastructure....

It’s right here, because they’ve just announced thatdungeon cartography gameEtrian Odyssey IVwill be on the DS-Triple in July.

Fallout: New Vegas has a definitive end

The main story quest ofFallout 3(spoiler alert!) ended the game, but the “Broken Steel” add-on changed the ending to let you go back into the Capital Wasteland. That seems unlikely to happen withFallout: New Vegasbecause of the way the game ends (and what the ending tells you). At aNew Vegasdemo last month, senior producer Jason Bergman told me that the ending toNew Vegas“explains thingswellbeyond the end of [the] game,” including “what happens to every one of our factions and major characters....

Get splattered with straight Splatoon gameplay

Sick ink, bro The first couple minutes are tutorial and a frustrating watch. I actually didn’t have time to playSplatoonat E3 (Darren did), so it’s nice to watch a whole match play out. And it’s like playing Graffiti inTony Hawk’s Pro Skaterbut with guns (and squids) instead of skateboards (and squids). I’m even more for the concept after the video. Despite the colors and cuteness, this seems like it could be a real challenge....

LEGO City Undercover still has some lengthy load times on Switch

Almost a minute Sometimes, long load times are forgivable. For games where the entire sandbox/level is on-boarded and I can screw around with it as long as I want, it’s a small price to pay. I’ll even lump in the infamousMetal Gear Solid 4into that equation — when a chapter was loading I’d go make a sandwich or something. But forLEGO City Undercover, it wasn’t nearly that easy. Every time you’d enter an indoor zone and re-enter the main hub, the game would load....
