With a pandemic forcing most people to work from home, EA could have released a cut-price season update and explained that to their shareholders. Instead, we get an unfinished FIFA update at full price.
iD and Bethesda have released some amazing concept art alongside a paragraph of insight straight from the (Demon) horse's mouth:
Crytek made a name for itself in the early 2000's, ultimatley losing the game engine war to Epics Unreal Engine 3. Whilst 'Ryse: Son of Rome' still shines as its best technical achievement, Crysis is back. Presumingly testing the waters for a franchise reboot, Crysis: Remastered comes with a new 'Ray Tracing' mode to bring it into the current generation.
With Crystal Dynamics taking on a major IP after the success of the Tomb Raider reboot, it seems Marvel's Avengers was almost guaranteed to be a 'Hulk-Smash'. Square-Enix hasn't spared any expense, but assembling a flowing narrative alongside compelling gameplay is a rough ride.
Nintendo would have laid out extremely strict plot points to stick too, but this is a big deal. Does this mean that Nintendo is now focusing in on the Zelda franchise taking place in Breath of the Wilds incarnation of Hyrule?
An undeniable technical marvel combined with an accessibility that blows a niche genre open.

This Impressions piece could start off with tales of a 32-year-old retelling his accounts of Tony Hawks Pro Skater memories from his youth. Wishing for the glory days to return and to win one more can of Pepsi in a game of H-O-R-S-E. Well, It looks like my wish came true. Which means readers get an interesting article.
The DualSense is the Japanese giant's most significant design departure in their series of controllers since the DualShock 4. A difference which pales in comparison. But the dual-tone controller's space-age aesthetic is only the beginning of what sets it apart.
A community awaits Star Wars: Squadrons providing Mobius play their cards right. It's also another chance for EA to prove they can still produce amazing games with beloved IPs.
