Though the initial lawsuit against Valve was dismissed, Wolfire amended their suit in May 2022 and the legal battle was back on.

  • Battlefield Hardline Trial Available Now on EA Access

    Battlefield Hardline Trial Available Now on EA Access

    If you own an Xbox One and pay for the EA Access subscription, you can play a 10 hour long trial of the full Battlefield Hardline offering. I believe that this allows for players to access all of the game's multiplayer offerings and only the start of the single player campaign. The download is a bit over 45GB, but if you were planning on buying the game already and have EA Access, you may as well get some time in now. There is (obviously) no system like this for the PC or PlayStation consoles....

  • Battlefield Hardline Writer Had to Remove Dialogue to Dehumanize the Bad Guys

    In speaking with Polygon, a Battlefield Hardline writer, Rob Auten, mentioned how they actually had to remove lines of dialogue from the game in order for the "bad guys (to feel) like bad guys."
    Writer Rob Auten told me that one of the difficulties he had with this game was creating thugs who were engaging enough to seem realistic, but not so engaging that the player might feel guilty about shooting them. "I wrote one about this guy getting back together with his ex-girlfriend," Auten expla

    by Shawn Zipay
    It's AAAA vs WB.

    March isn't even over yet and we've already seen a couple of stinkers come out from major gaming studios. While we tend to focus on the surprise hits or quality titles in these polls, this time it's a little bit different.

    Between the Rocksteady developed live-service Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League and the "AAAA" quality Ubisoft developed Skull and Bones: Which is the bigger disappointment for you?
