New Assassin’s Creed Syndicate gameplay video highlights Jacob’s sneaking ability…sorta

I had a chance to play a chunk of Assassin’s Creed Syndicate in a preview event in London several weeks ago and here is some of the footage from that gameplay time.

This particular video shows the first mission in Sequence 7 where Jacob Frye is in the middle of his manhunt for all of Templar Grandmaster Crawford Starrick’s lieutenants. While searching for a mysterious Templar codenamed “B”, Jacob uncovers the beginnings of a plot involving England’s Prime Minister.

Assassin’s Creed Syndicate will be available for Xbox One, PS4, and PC on October 23rd.

Montana shoots everything in sight in this new Battleborn gameplay vid

Filed under: EGM (Electronic Gaming Monthly), Video — Leave a comment

I had a chance to go hands-on once again with Gearbox Software’s Battleborn while up at PAX and this time I used the hulking brute Montana to take the fight to the Varelsi.

Montana definitely felt more my speed compared to my play through with hit-n-run specialist Caldarius since Montana is a prototypical tank character whose Gatling gun deals a near constant stream of damage to his enemies.

Battleborn will be available from 2K Games for Xbox One, PS4, and PC on February 9th, 2016.

See and hear the EGM Crew play Rainbow Six Siege at PAX

Filed under: EGM (Electronic Gaming Monthly), Video — Leave a comment

Mollie L Patterson and I had a chance to play some more Terrohunt at PAX this past weekend and not only did we record our match, but also the team’s headset audio so you can hear our chatter.

The video is from my perspective as Sledge, the aptly named soldier who wields a giant hammer that can break down walls and doors. The team’s most vocal member is MatchGrade Nation’s Miss Magitek, who expertly helped coach us to victory.

Rainbow Six Siege will be available on December 1st for Xbox One, PS4, and PC, but if you want to try it out before then, you can sign up for the closed beta that kicks off on September 24th.

Rain will change how you play Forza forever

Filed under: EGM (Electronic Gaming Monthly), Video — Leave a comment

After I got my hands on the first two hours of Forza 6‘s new Career Mode, I sat down with Turn 10 Studios’ Content Director John Wendl, and learned just what adding rain to Forza Motorsport 6 will do to gameplay.

Along with this, my discussion with John touched on changes to the game’s economy, Career Mode, and new additions like Mods and Drivatar AI tuners and what they will bring to the game.

If you want to see more uncut gameplay from our session with Forza 6, check out our qualifying races video.

Forza Motorsport 6 will be available on September 15th exclusively for Xbox One.

Check out the qualifying races that kick off Forza 6’s Career Mode

Filed under: EGM (Electronic Gaming Monthly), Video — Leave a comment

When you start up Forza Motorsport 6‘s Career Mode for the first time, you’ll have to prove that you’re ready to handle the tracks it’ll throw at you by taking part in three qualifying races.

These races will show off the game’s newest features, while also giving you a prime chance to get those tires warm again and earn some easy credits to start filling out your garage with the 460 cars that will be featured at launch. Here are those three races, as I ran them, in their entirety.

If you want to learn more about Forza 6 before it comes out, check out our interview with Turn 10 Studios’ Content Director, John Wendl, as we got to talk about how rain affects the gameplay, the new Mods feature, and more.

Forza Motorsport 6 will be available exclusively for Xbox One on September 15th.

Watch Evie Frye in action in Assassin’s Creed Syndicate’s Gamescom demo

Filed under: EGM (Electronic Gaming Monthly), Video — Leave a comment

I had a chance to go hands-on with the Assassin’s Creed Syndicate Gamescom demo recently, which allowed us to play as Evie Frye for the first time. The demo tasked us with eliminating Templar Lucy Thorne who has critical info on the location of the Shroud of Turin—one of the Pieces of Eden—and a prize that Evie has been hunting for some time at this point.

The demo also re-introduces us to the Blackbox Assassination Missions from Assassin’s Creed Unity. Evie has several opportunities at her disposal to try to get close to Lucy and make the kill.

For the sake of time, several inconsequential cuts were made removing some of Evie traversing through the environment (climbing buildings, sliding down every zipline with the rope launcher, etc.).

To get my full impressions of what I thought of the demo, be sure to check out my written preview from earlier in the week.

Assassin’s Creed Syndicate will be available for Xbox One, PS4, and PC on October 23.

Office Hijinks: Piñata Destruction

Filed under: EGM (Electronic Gaming Monthly), Video — Leave a comment

The EGM Crew recently moved into a new office. As an office-warming present, the fine folks at Trion Worlds sent us a piñata. The piñata was also to celebrate the launch of their new game Trove for the PC. Well, there’s only one thing that can be done with a piñata and luckily, Josh had a baseball bat in his car, and I have tremendous anger issues.

Unfortunately, the piñata was not full of candy, but instead little cubes to help promote the game. It was even more unfortunate for the rest of the crew that I realized there was no candy in the piñata while still holding the baseball bat.

As for the remains of piñata itself, it now hangs on my office wall as a trophy of my smashing ability.
