The Reticule (Not at) E3 – Bioware and the Future of RPGS

The Reticule (Not at) E3 – Bioware and the Future of RPGS

Today The Reticule’s (not at) E3 Speculate-athon comes to an end as I take a look at Bioware’s sacrifices to the great gods of hype. With the possible exception of Robot Chicken Reggie at Nintendo Direct, Bioware’s trailers, demos and interviews stoked my excitement glands to the point where I’m considering actually investing in a PC capable of playing their games.

Watch_Dogs – The Verdict

Watch_Dogs – The Verdict

Spider-tank, Spider-tank, does whatever a spider-tank does…

I’ve somehow managed to open this piece without even mentioning dogs or the watching thereof; welcome to a brave new world people! Find out what I think about Watch_Dogs after the cut.

Early Access – The Forest

Early Access – The Forest

Buying games that are in Open Access on Steam can sometimes prove to be a risky decision. Some can be surprisingly pleasant, and offer countless hours of enjoyment (Starbound springs to mind), while others can leave you wondering why you even considered buying them in the first place (War Z for one). The latest of these Open Access titles is The Forest, a survival horror game going for roughly £11 on Steam. After my strenuous exams I thought I deserved a little treat, so I picked The Forest. I was met with a game with significant potential, and although it’s only v.0.02, it’s a hell of a lot more enjoyable than some fully released titles.

The Reticule (Not at) E3 – Rainbow Six: Siege and Dead Island 2

While E3 has come to an end, and many a British journalist is facing a long-slog home to face the jet-lag, we here at The Reticule are still going to have some thoughts to share on what was revealed in Los Angeles. Right now I want to take a moment to talk briefly about two games which unexpectedly caught my attention, Rainbow Six: Siege and Dead Island 2.

Non-E3 News – Euro Truck Sim 2 Going Nordic

In our continued attempts here at Reticule Towers to be perceived as a legitimate emporium of games journalism, we are again eschewing the notion that E3 is all anyone cares about when the big show is taking place. I mean, don’t people want to know a little bit about the latest European Truck Simulator 2 news? I for one, most certainly do. Hit the break for the low-down.

The Reticule (Not at) E3 Roundup – Batman, Sims and Abzu

I’ve always found E3 to be a peculiar beast and I still question it’s relevance given the internet’s always on, always now capabilities, but I guess you’ve got to give the PR guys ‘n’ gals a day out occasionally. That said, there were a few titles that immediately piqued my interest. Check them out after the break.

Non-E3 News – First Developer Diary for Shadows: Heretic Kingdoms

Non-E3 News – First Developer Diary for Shadows: Heretic Kingdoms

As far as I am aware, this new media didn’t emanate from E3, which is a potentially dangerous tactic at this time of the year when you aren’t either teasing DOOM or plucky indie developer Mike Bithell.

The brave decision to release a developer diary today was taken by Games Farm for upcoming Early Access title Shadows: Heretic Kingdoms which has a touch of Diablo about it. Introductory trailer and the aforementioned developer diary can be found after this little jump…

Volume Developer Throws E3 Down Time Into Chaos With New Live Action Trailer

Mike Bithell, developer of indie title Volume has thrown the traditional pre-E3 lull into turmoil by releasing a new live action viral trailer…on a Sunday! Turning his back traditional PR practice, Mike has released the new trailer in the middle of a lazy Sunday afternoon and in a Tweet, he has declared it an experiment to see whether it will gain any attention. Fortunately, this intrepid reporter was at the heart of the story by checking his Twitter feed between cleaning the bathroom and making an emergency cake trip to Greggs.
