Madden 18 Announced To Have A Full Story And Use Frostbite Engine

EA announced during their E3 Press Conference that Madden 18 will have a story mode titled “Longshot.”  This is the first legitimate story mode in the franchise’s history.  The story will feature a rookie football player named Devin Wade on his journey to stardom. Rather than focusing on his life in the NFL, The Longshot will spend the majority of its time showing how he gets there.

Devin Wade isn’t your normal football player some might even say he’s not a football player at all anymore. Devin played the sport extensively in college but didn’t move on to the big leagues afterward. When you first meet Devin he’s spent years away from football and is living in a small town. He’s thinking of moving on from his dreams of tossing the pigskin and getting a real job, but it’s not over yet. You will play various stages of his life as he goes from his small town to the big leagues. The game itself begins at the NFL Combines and works its way up to the NFL Draft game.

You’re still going to be able to schmooze with various famous athletes and celebrities. Devin, despite not joining the big leagues holds a job that gives him that ability.

This is a welcome franchise switch which brings the Madden series closer to EA’s popular NBA 2k franchise by giving it a semblance of a story. Madden 18’s method of storytelling was actually inspired by Telltale’s and Naughty Dog’s games. Supposedly it shows, the story is supposed to be amazing. Series namesake, John Madden felt compelled to bring his grandchildren in to watch the story after his first viewing.

The new game will also be developed using EA’s popular Frostbite Engine. You may have seen this used in other EA games such as in the Battlefield and Mass Effect Franchises. The engine is accredited for being the reason why The Longshot is even possible to produce by allowing them to do new things such as going off- field for games.

You won’t actually have to wait that long to try out Madden 18. It will be available in stores everywhere on August 25th for Xbox One and Playstation 4.

ReFantazio Takes a Different Approach to Romance, Setting Itself Apart from the Persona Games

Atlus’ highly anticipated RPG, Metaphor: ReFantazio, appears to incorporate familiar systems reminiscent of the developer’s acclaimed Persona series. The game features turn-based battles that heavily rely on exploiting enemy weaknesses. Additionally, players have the ability to summon warrior spirits during combat. However, the most significant aspect of this game, which will be discussed in this article, is the bonding system. Through this system, players can spend time with important characters and gain deeper insights into their personalities and stories.

In contrast to the Persona games, the bonding system ends at that point. Unfortunately, players will be unable to pursue romantic relationships with their beloved waifus, which may come as a disappointment to those who have developed strong feelings for Hulkenberg, the party’s charismatic red-haired elven knight.

According to Siliconera, the absence of romance came up during a recent question and answer session. Atlus emphasized the continued opportunity to develop meaningful relationships with your allies while also introducing additional narratives through substories. In addition, familiarizing yourself with the supporting characters will grant you access to new archetypes, which serve as the game’s character classes.

In the Persona games, romance is not obligatory; rather, it serves as a means to customize your playthrough. However, it is quite unexpected that Metaphor has chosen not to pursue such a venture, considering the significant amount of discussion it typically generates!

Were you anticipating any romantic elements in Metaphor? If you’re not satisfied with your pre-order, feel free to share your thoughts in the comments section below.

It appears that many

are eagerly anticipating the launch of the highly anticipated PS5 exclusive, Stellar Blade. Shift Up, the developer, has shared a lengthy video showcasing the “secrets” found in the physical box of the game for PS5. From what we can gather, these secrets include a reversible cover/dust jacket and a download code for cosmetic items.

We must clarify that while we do appreciate the variant cover, it may be more appealing than the game’s standard art. However, it is not something we would typically classify as a “secret.”. However, what’s interesting is that Shift Up has confirmed through the comments section that this will be the case in all regions. Additionally, the visually striking action RPG will remain uncensored worldwide.

It’s refreshing to witness a developer going the extra mile for physical collectors, and it’s evident that the developer is determined to leave a favorable mark in the console realm. Stellar Blade is set to make its highly anticipated debut this Friday, April 26th, exclusively on the PS5.
