Take a look at what is coming and who is working on it.
These games have no names and no release dates but EA did mention Visceral’s new Star Wars game is currently scheduled for 2018.

The fourth game in the Mass Effect series is in development, and it is unlike any of the previous games in the series. In this new game, you’ll be a part of a team colonizing Andromeda. Now, you’re the alien. Here’s a look behind the scenes:

EA has just shown the single-player trailer for the new game Titanfall 2 at the EA Play 2016 press event, and they have turned a lot of heads when they announced that the game will have a single player campaign…and it will be coming to PS4.
A multiplayer technical test for the game is expected to release before launch. You will be able to sign up at Titanfall.com, but the site was not active at the time this article was posted.
Titanfall 2 coming October 2016 to PC, Xbox One and PS4.

Today marks the start of the 2016 Electronic Entertainment Expo, and there will be several major conferences taking place over the next 36 hours. So where do you go and what do you do if you want to check them out? Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered!
Sunday
EA Press Conference 2016 – 1PM PT/4PM ET. See it on Twitch.
Most pundits are speculating the next Mass Effect game will show at this event.
Bethesda Press Conference – 7PM PT/10 PM ET. See it on Twitch.
Monday
Xbox Press Conference – 9:30PM PT/12:30PM ET. You’ll have a few options to watch this. Event will be broadcast on the Spike TV cable channel and in the console’s Xbox Live Events app. You can also See it on Twitch.
Halo Wars 2 and Gears of War 4 are expected to show.
Ubisoft Press Event – 1PM PT/4PM ET. You’ll have a few options to watch this event. You can watch it on Ubisoft’s E3 Website or on Twitch.
Watch Dogs 2, which was announced just a few days ago, is confirmed to show at this event.
Sony PlayStation Press Event – 6 PM PT/9 PM ET. Sadly, it doesn’t look like they’re doing a theatre showing or releasing an exclusive PS4 app this year, but you should be able to watch the event on the PS4’s Live Events Viewer app. Just make sure to preorder the events in advance through the app. The E3 events are all free. If you don’t have a PS4, you can watch it on Twitch.
Sony has been pretty hush hush about what might be shown at this event but PlayStation VR is expected to be demoed.
Square Enix is also planning to show Final Fantasy XV during one of these press events, and possibly announce the premiere of the second episode of the traditionally animated series BROTHERHOOD – Final Fantasy XV. While we don’t know for sure which event will premiere it, it is highly likely to be at Sony’s Press Event.
Now you’re probably also wondering what’s going on with Nintendo? Nintendo won’t be doing a press conference or a prerecorded Nintendo Direct event this year but they promise that they will be previewing the new Zelda and Pokémon games starting on the 14th. We will cover that more as we get closer to the event.
While most of these events have been broadcast on television in the past, very few of these events are planned to get a television broadcast this year, and that is unbearably disappointing. I never thought I would say this but I miss G4.
Watch Dogs 2 Announced June 8, 2016

When Ubisoft announced Watch Dogs back at E3 2012, I was intrigued. While the finished game did not live up to some critic’s expectations, I enjoyed the game tremendously, and found a lot to love while playing it and it’s follow-up DLC campaign Bad Blood.
Less than a week away from E3, Ubisoft has officially announced Watch Dogs 2.
That’s right, we have a new Watch Dogs game in a brand new city with a brand new main character. So who is Marcus, the new protagonist? Check out this trailer.
He sure dresses like Aiden Pierce, perhaps the player’s actions in the first game inspired others?
What goes into making a game like this? Perhaps this world premiere documentary will shed some light on that.
Watch Dogs 2 is coming to the PC, PS4 and Xbox One.
World of Final Fantasy Release Date June 7, 2016
Posted by Maniac in Game News.add a comment
Last year during Sony’s E3 Press Event, Square Enix revealed a unique new game based on the Final Fantasy franchise’s legacy called World of Final Fantasy. It turned a lot of heads, but most people assumed it was going to be some kind of new Free to Play (FTP) game, they were wrong.
Today, just a few days before E3 2016, Square Enix has released an all new trailer for World of Final Fantasy. Enjoy!
World of Final Fantasy is coming October 25th, 2016 for the PS4 and PS Vita.
Final Fantasy XII HD Remaster Coming to the West June 6, 2016
Posted by Maniac in Game News.add a comment
Earlier this morning, Square Enix announced they were remastering a special updated version of the fan favorite game Final Fantasy XII for a Japanese release in 2017. I am happy to confirm that game will be coming to the West and here is the official western trailer.
The publisher promises the remastered game will offer an updated 7.1 surround sound audio experience, an entirely rerecorded musical score (with the option to choose the original audio) and all of the features from the 2007 rerelease, Final Fantasy XII International Zodiac Job System, a rerelease which was never released in the US. More information about the game will be available at this year’s E3.
This is fantastic news, as several months ago we compiled a wish list of games we would like to see Square Enix produce. Since that article was published, the company has announced at least two of those requests are coming! I can’t wait to see what the future holds for this franchise!
Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age is an HD Remaster of Final Fantasy XII. It is currently planned for release on the PlayStation 4 in 2017

What goes into a major gaming presentation? Every moment has to be planned to the tiniest detail, and there’s no room for error.

Legendary Pokemon Manaphy Now Distributing Until June 24th June 1, 2016
Posted by Maniac in Game News, Uncategorized.add a comment
Boot up your copies of any sixth generation Pokémon game because Nintendo and The Pokémon Company are now offering the legendary Pokemon Manaphy, a Pokémon previously only available through the Nintendo DS exclusive game Pokémon Ranger, completely free of charge.
All you need to do to get this Manaphy is connect your 3DS to any WiFi hotspot (if you don’t have one at home there’s a wide variety of Nintendo Zone locations that should suffice). Your 3DS and your copy of the game must also be up to date, but you can update both from the Nintendo eShop.
You can get the Manaphy by accessing the game’s Mystery Gift menu before booting up your recent save game. Simply select “Recieve a Gift From the Internet” while your 3DS is connected to an Internet hotspot and you should recieve your Pokémon in no time.
From there, you can boot up your save and get Manaphy from the mail lady at any in-game Pokémon Center. Just make sure to save once you have Manaphy on your team.
Check your gift menu as soon as you can because the distribution will only be happening until the 24th of June. Manaphy will be at Level 100 when you get it, so there’s no need for a lot of time-consuming experience grinding.
Manaphy can be obtained through Pokémon X, Pokémon Y, Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire.
