With mixed reviews surrounding Mass Effect: Andromeda’s release, many voices on the internet have given their opinions on how Bioware could have done better. Some in the playerbase want better animations, some want stronger writing, and others want a more interesting cast of characters. The only issue is that some of the game’s largest issues can’t simply be patched out. Changing the animations of the main character would require extensive work, and taking the time to re-write the whole story would be a mountainous endeavor. Have no fear Mass Effect fans, for Bioware and EA refuse to waiver in their desire to respond to player feedback. The developer and publisher have decided that their only recourse is to give the fans what they want; an entirely new Mass Effect: Andromeda game.

“The release of Andromeda wasn’t up to our standards and a lot of fans weren’t satisfied. We decided to go for a re-do on the whole project” said a Bioware representative. The new Andromeda game will use the same game engine, but the rest of the game will be built from the ground up. With the expected release date of Q2 2018, some have voiced concerns that the development will be rushed. Bioware hasn’t release a response to this concern as of yet.

Many critics feel that Mass Effect: Andromeda was an unpolished game and didn’t live up to the Mass Effect pedigree. It is refreshing to see a game developer this devoted to giving the fanbase what they want. Thankfully two games are always better than one.

The devilish launch of Diablo 4 is days away (less for Ultimate Edition buyers). Blizzard has promised the ultimate reward for the first 1000 players to accomplish level 100 on Hardcore Mode: a statue of in-game antagonist Lillith.

Diablo 4’s Hardcore Mode is a character-creation-only difficulty adjuster. It automatically deletes characters when they die, making things infinitely harder regardless of World Tier. But 100? That’s several playthroughs on increasingly difficult World Tiers with new adversaries in harsher setups and about 150 hours of flawlessly rapid gameplay.

Honoring the dying.

Being remembered with those brave souls lost on the journey is the ultimate gamer boast. Do you dare?

Bloober Team’s survival horror game Layers of Fear is terrifying. The Trophy List on Exophase just appeared, and players will have to go crazy to obtain Platinum.

With a Silver Trophy like “a new way” requiring players to “live through the third conversation” (and a few of Bronzes for surviving the previous two) and another called “face your fears” appearing when you “see your enemy and fail”, we might chase this one with the lights on.

Do you like Layers of Fear’s whole trophy list? Do you want the Plat?

The PlayStation Showcase, which divided fans and prompted our full-throated Reaction, was a ratings winner. Gamesight’s number crunchers found that PlayStation fans were drawn in by the appeal alone, even though many of the titles we wanted to see didn’t show up.

It’s possible certain Showcase games were withheld. Summer Game Fest may bring something? Watched the big spectacle live?
