Whilst Dark Souls 2 tracked and displayed deaths to show the world how unrelentingly brutal FromSoftware's newest game was, Fable 2 Recompile 2 went in a more co-operative and light-hearted direction with their tracking system.
Microsoft is being aggressive with Xbox Game Pass, a subscription service that gives Xbox console owners instant access to over 100 games. While Sony doesn't really have an Xbox Game Pass equivalent, it has introduced a new PlayStation Plus program with the PS5 that greatly increases the value of the serv
The current system for gearing up for a delivery in Death Stranding already feels like it's been stripped straight out of MGS5 , with a blank void to prepare weapon, vehicle, and additional equipment loadouts. It's a great way for players to get ready for missions and adventures through Metal Gear Solid 's open world , and translates perfectly into attempting to travel through dystopian America. However, one benefit that MGS5 has over Death Stranding in this way is that the player has more control over what they can bring thanks to the ability to research and develop their own g
It took almost two years for the game to be officially announced, with a two minute teaser trailer debuting at The Game Awards 2020 . With some of the creative minds behind such series as Tomb Raider , God of War , Titanfall and Destiny working on the project , expectations are high and many had hoped to get an update at this year's E3. Much like Avowed , Project Dragon and Everwild , however, it was a no show at the Microsoft ev
The reveal definitely served its purpose in building up a lot of attention just before the holiday season. But this marketing came at the sacrifice of so many great plot points. Some fans felt the move a bit little shallow – especially the hardcore fans who wanted to go in bl
One of 2020's biggest games was Final Fantasy 7 Remake from Square Enix. A timed-PS4 exclusive, Final Fantasy 7 Remake earned rave reviews when it launched earlier this year, with critics heaping praise on the game for its visuals, action-packed combat system, and how it expertly expands on the original Final Fantasy 7 story. Final Fantasy 7 is closely tied to PlayStation's identity, with Final Fantasy 7 standing out as one of the most critically-acclaimed games on the PS1, and being the first Final Fantasy released for a non-Nintendo platform. Final Fantasy 15 is currently available through the PlayStation Plus Collection, so Square Enix is clearly open to the idea of its games being on the service. Perhaps Final Fantasy 7 Remake will be added when we're closer to Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 2 's release da
Having first been announced at The Game Awards back in 2017, it has now been more than 1,200 days since fans caught a glimpse of Bayonetta 3 . Its absence from E3 2018 was perhaps to be expected and few really thought it would show up at the following year's event either. For it to have once again been a no-show in 2021, however, will be a cause for concern for some series f
This was entirely intentional on Bungie's part and worked very well with what the expansion was trying to do. That makes this a rare major spoiler that fans weren't upset about. Still, killing off one of the best characters in the game didn't go down well with s
Fable: The Journey wasn't the best received, sitting at a measly 61% on Metacritic. This might be because it was an on-a-rails experience, a harsh contrast to the proudly free and open RPG it succeeded.
As such, it's been a little while since the franchise's last outing. Even so, there's plenty of facts that may have slipped by the radar way back when the series was in its hay-day, so here are ten things that you may not have known about this Xbox RPG.
Like the Fallout series, Fable has its own karma system. It's a major part of why the franchise is so beloved, but it can get a little silly. For instance, drinking five beers is as 'corrupt' (the measurement of negative karma) as committing murder.
Many consider Sony to have the edge over Microsoft when it comes to exclusives (at least for the time being), but when it comes to open-world zombie games , the Xbox has a pretty strong lineup. With Dead Rising 5 having been cancelled a few years back, though, Xbox players looking to get their fill of brain-munching monsters have been forced to look elsewhere, with many of them turning to the State of Decay ga
But, as with the most recent Far Cry leak , it's the new content that fans are interested in. In this way, marketing “leaks” can work wonders. It's just difficult when the marketing of a game alienates part of a fanbase like casual or “patient” gam
State of Decay 3 was announced at the Xbox Showcase in 2020 , but, much like the new Fable game, updates on the title have been sparse since then. Many had hoped to get one at this year's E3 and maybe even a new trailer, but there was no mention of Undead Labs' upcoming title anywhere in the Microsoft and Bethesda event. Whether the developers will have something ready for Gamescom or Microsoft's next big showcase event remains to be s(Image: https://eastsidesclc.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/custom-facial.png)
