‘PES 2020’ isn’t perfect, but it’s good enough to rival ‘FIFA 20’

[ad_1] Another new feature in eFootball PES 2020 is “Matchday,” a mode that lets players choose their favorite team and synchronize games to the schedule from professional leagues. This is similar to FIFA’s Match Day Live, which is also designed to make the game feel more in-line with what’s happening out in the real world. […]

‘Need for Speed Heat’ isn’t anything like ‘Payback’

[ad_1] Unsurprisingly, the new game is vastly different to Payback. You no longer need Speed Cards, for instance, to upgrade your ride. “Speed cards were a little abstract,” Riley Cooper, creative director on Need for Speed Heat, told Engadget. “So we’re leaning much more grounded and straightforward [this time]. You get money, you buy the […]

‘Anthem’ is proof that crunch can’t save AAA games

[ad_1] Under the wrong conditions, however, talented developers will build terrible games. And sometimes, despite every mental, emotional and strategic roadblock thrown their way, they’ll create fantastic games, and then get laid off a few weeks later anyway. That’s the business, baby. A crunch-lite process plays out all the time in Silicon Valley, with scrum […]

EA reportedly paid Ninja $1 million to stream ‘Apex Legends’

[ad_1] That’s a large amount even for Ninja. He acknowledged to CNN in December that he was making $500,000 per month (more “on a good month”), but that’s split between Twitch, YouTube and sponsorships. This was twice as much for a single Twitch stream. It’s not certain how much other streamers were paid, although the […]
