Mirroring Formula One’s Ferrari-McLaren alledge-a-thon, this year EA Black Box have clearly helped themselves to an eyeful of the blueprints belonging to traditionally serious racers such as Forza. For starters, we’re off the streets and into the pit lanes of numerous real-world race tracks. According to the game’s producer, this reflects where the street racing culture is heading.
Apparently bored with having to endure fifteen-minute police chases every time they want an innocent high-speed street race, our racers have fled to the professional circuits, where they can pursue their hobby. This doesn’t make too much of a difference to the gameplay - some of the duller circuits have been sexed-up to bring them in line with the curvy wonders we’ve played in Need For Speed games past. But there’s another change that does change the way you approach the game. Significantly so, in fact.
Dragon Age: The Veilguard went for stylized art, but Mass Effect 5 project director says the sci-fi RPG "is photorealistic and will be as long as I'm running it"
Balatro creator added extra Jokers to the hit roguelike because someone at its publisher "mentioned something about '150 Jokers' and instead of correcting them I just made 30 more"
Showrunner of Dune prequel series confirms you don't need to have seen the movies to watch: "This can be a point of entry"
