E3 2010: How Microsoft Failed To Cater To Casual Gamers
The nominations were decided by all 11 of the Game Rant staff in attendance for E3 and are based upon our previews, demos and hands-on experiences with all of the available titles at the event this y
Winter's still going on strong - for most of us, anyway - but the gaming release lull is slowly coming to an end! While most February releases are still geared towards the previous generation, there are a few next-gen games that should start the ball rolling for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. Let's take a look at what February has to of
Still, after a demo that was less than desirable, Fable: The Journey has rebounded nicely with an intriguing concept and storyline. This could very well be the first hardcore Kinect title worth picking
The industry's current infatuation with motion control gaming is openly seen as a clever (or not so clever) ploy to divert the attention of the "casual" gamer from Nintendo’s very successful Wii console. It has been common knowledge for some time now that both Sony and MS are developing their own approach to motion control gaming, the Move and Kinect respectively. But to take the world's largest annual industry platform, at which many of gaming's biggest showcases have occurred, and focus on this single, controversial piece of hardware as the centerpiece has left many fans, myself included, shaking their fist in the air and wondering what the heck happe
But what stood out more to this comic book fan was the poster featuring little more than the title 'Fables' and a looming silhouette of a werewolf. So, it was assumed that Telltale would be focusing on the fairy tale graphic novel's Bigby (a.k.a.'The Big Bad Wolf); given the studio's experience with the likes of Puzzle Agent , building an adventure game around the sheriff of Fabletown made se
Leading up to E3, the Game Rant team put together a pair of lists of our most anticipated confirmed games E3 2011 and our most anticipated rumored games . Several of the rumored games did end up being showcased at the annual Los Angeles event, but were our hopes and anticipation justif
Demonstrated by Molyneux -- a gamer who loves to sit back and relax on the couch -- players will eventually be able to say something like, "Move you old hag," and their horse will begin trotting off. It’s a simple concept, but one that adds to the immersion of the experie
Since, contrary to popular opinion after the Microsoft press conference, players will actually be able to explore a large chunk of Albion in Fable: The Journey , we thought it important to report-on the context for this advent
While most of the nitty gritty about Fable updates|Https://fablechronicle.Com/: The Journey was revealed as part of our E3 2011 preview of the game, Lionhead Studios’ Peter Molyneux also shared a few details in regards to the game’s st
To get a full sense of just how much time has passed without any update, we have to go all the way back to E3 2011, where the studio's Jurassic Park adaptation was on display. While dinosaurs were the main attraction, the developer did adorn their booth with a poster for their upcoming King's Quest reboot , although they weren't speaking on specifics (since that project doesn't seem to be progressing, we no know w
When Telltale Games announced that they would be bringing Fables , an adaptation of the Vertigo graphic novel series to gamers everywhere, it was hard to know what to expect. That was before The Walking Dead made the studio one of the most impressive in the realm of video game writing , not to mention undisputed masters of episodic relea
Yet despite that success, there have still been no substantial announcements on what the studio has planned for Bill Willingham's comic series. If a cryptic tweet from Telltale's Twitter account is any indication, that may be about to cha
E3 has always been **THE ** industry event prime for showcasing new hardware, services and of course games. Microsoft is not new to the showcase, remaining strong contenders since the announcement of the original Halo on Xbox in 2001. From the tech demo of Halo 2 in 2003 to the appearance of the first HD Gaming console in 2005. However, it is practically universally agreed that the Microsoft conference at E3 2010 had very little appeal to the fan base that the Xbox has worked so hard to amass. Alienation to some and sacrilege to others, the star of the show was Kinect; a motion control dev
Opening up the month is the anticipated Fable Anniversary , a re-imagining of the hit RPG originally released on the Xbox nearly ten years ago. It arrives February 4th for the Xbox 360. On the 5th, internet "let's play" sensation Outlast will be available on the PS4. Later in the month, Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII makes its way to the PS3 and Xbox 360 on February 11th. Rayman Legends jumps into the next-gen fray on the 18th, giving some much-needed platformer action to the PS4 and Xbox One. The Wii U gets its own taste of more platformer goodness on the 21st, when Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze swings into action. Finally, the long-awaited Thief reboot finds its way to all major platforms after nearly a decade of abse
