EA Origins and EA Access are currently free for E3 week.

PC and Xbox One gets more freebie games to play in the Vault while PS4 gets a free trial of the service.

Only catch is Xbox One requires a Gold account in order to get the free week.

Quote:

Today during EA's E3 briefing, CEO Andrew Wilson appeared on stage to announce that the company is providing free access to the EA Access and Origin Access Vaults for a week. That means you can play select games in their entirety without paying a penny.

EA Access is available on Xbox One and Origin Access is for PC, but PS4 players aren't being left out. EA said there will be free trials for some of its games available on PS4 all week. These include Madden NFL 17, FIFA 17, Titanfall 2, EA Sports UFC 2, and Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare. PS4 owners with a copy of Star Wars Battlefront will have free access to all DLC maps and heroes for the duration of this event.

Have any of you yanks done the GameStop trade in deal where they're giving 70% extra or some shit? It seems bananas. There's a buy 2 get 1 free deal too, so there's these 3DS games that cost $35 each, give $42 trade in and one of them was free. So if you have enough GS stores nearby, people are just trading in for these 3DS games, driving to another and flipping it. Insane stories:

Quote:

Flipped games to the point where I was able to rebuy the games that I traded in and also leave with a PlayStation vr, 30 psn, a year of plus, and kingdom hearts 1.5+2.5.

Telltale Games big announcement ended up being the debut reveals for Wolf Among Us 2, Batman: The Enemy Within, and The Walking Dead: The Final Season.

New Batman game arrives on August 8th while the others two games arrive next year.

Quote:

All of these games will be debuting on PC, Mac, PS4 and Xbox One with mobile ports to follow, though only Batman will be releasing this year with its debut coming on August 8. Both The Walking Dead and The Wolf Among Us 2 will launch sometime in 2018. Each series will be five episodes long and Batman will be heading to retail with a "Season Pass" disc that contains the first episode and a download voucher for the remaining four. How fun...

As for specifics on each new season, The Walking Dead will focus on Clementine yet again and the new Batman season will feature the Riddler and The Joker with an option to import saves from the first season (much like The Walking Dead).

I'll pick up Wolf Among Us 2. Pretty good story/game there.

As for Batman. I'm gonna stay away from that one. One of the most ridiculous plots ever.

According to reports, Inti Creates no longer is working on Bloodstained Ritual of the Night and handed off the remaining work to another studio called DICO. Pretty much replaces the help developer ArtPlay studio was getting for the project.

Main reason is related to a side project for the game that needs to be worked on now in time for the game's release.

https://www.destructoid.com/inti-cre...e-450927.phtml

Kalyx triaD 07-24-2017 08:50 PM

I'm gonna assume the bulk of the game was complete by this point.

Emperor Smeat 07-24-2017 09:44 PM

Maybe but wouldn't be surprised if its only half-done considering how far behind they were last time Koji Igarashi mentioned the project's status a couple months ago.

ArtPlay studio is the main developer so the changes don't hurt them and DICO might have a bigger role in the project than Inti Creates ever did.

Nice. Just Cause 3 for free next month. I'll gladly put some time into that.

Freedom Cry was a nice piece of DLC to go along with AC: Black Flag. But, I wouldn't call it something to give away for free for the PS+ free games for the month.
