BATTLEFIELD 1 IN REAL LIFE



How would have World War 1 soldiers reacted to Battlefield 1?
Yesterday, the YouTube channel, The Warp Zone uploaded a very interesting video called "Battlefield 1 In Real Life". The video, that has been made for entertainment purposes depicts two soldiers discussing how the Great War would be remembered 100 years from now. Although the video has been made for entertainment, it does make you wonder how soldiers would have actually reacted to the game if they were alive today.
Although Battlefield 1 is a game and is made to entertain people, the game itself doesn't give an accurate representation of World War 1 and with great reason. World War 1 was the bloodiest war in history, with over nine million soldiers and seven million civilians being killed. In addition to the deaths, over 7 million people were permanently disabled and a further 15 million were seriously injured.

IS A MODERN WARFARE 2 REMASTER COMING NEXT YEAR?

A Modern Warfare 2 Remaster could be being developed as we speak. Modern Warfare 2 has to be one of the most well-known and iconic Call of Duty's of the franchise because of its innovation and fun factor. With this years Infinite Warfare release, Activision has allowed Raven Software to develop Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered as a pre-order incentive for Infinite Warfare and it's a brilliant idea from the publisher giant. However, this lands Activision in a tricky position because now fans will be expected a Remastered title every year now until something drastically changes with the Call of Duty development cycle.  The next Call of Duty title will be released by Sledgehammer Games and although releasing a remastered Modern Warfare 3 would make sense (because Sledgehammer Games helped develop the title), it would also not make sense at the same time. In fact, it's probably likely that a Modern Warfare 2 Remaster is on the horizon, probably being developed b...

Need for Speed Payback will release this November

Ghost Games' newest NFS instalment targets casino cartels Following a tease yesterday, EA and Ghost Games has lifted the veil on its forthcoming Need for Speed game. As it turns out, Need for Speed Payback will release on November 10 and will feature, according to EA, "blockbuster gameplay never before seen from the series".  As is increasingly the case with Need For Speed games, there will be a narrative involved, which promises to be "gripping" and full of betrayal and revenge. The focus has moved somewhat away from winning races and more towards fulfilling the person-with-an-expensive-hotted-up-car fantasy, via customization both cosmetic and mechanical. Of course, you'll be able to win races too. It just won't hurt when you don't. Payback is set in Fortune Valley, which seems to be some game-y approximation of Las Vegas. Interestingly, you won't play as one character but instead three, with each waging their own campaign of reveng...

Resident Evil 6 – worth a quid

A reader celebrates how easy it is to buy video games for virtually nothing, so that even the most cash-strapped gamer can keep playing. Gamers rejoice! Recently for personal, boring, non-gaming reasons I have been slightly short on cash. In the past, a time such as this would have spelt the end, or at least temporary postponement, of my gaming obsession. This situation has hammered home to me the fact that, as gamers, we are lucky to be alive ‘n’ gaming in 2017. This weekend I have picked up Metro: Last Light for £2 (CeX… sorry), Castlevania: Lords Of Shadow for £1, and Resident Evil 6 for £1 – the last two from a car boot sale (all for Xbox 360). I know Resident Evil 6 has it’s many disappointed customers, but for a quid? Surely, I will squeeze out 100 pennies worth of enjoyment?! So far I have dipped into Castlevania. I’m pleasantly surprised and, for £1, you are always going to be getting value for money (Not a patch on the Game Boy Advance pinnacles of course). I haven’...
