All The Best Video Game Trailers Of 2020

Looking back, the Deathloop gameplay trailer is eye-catching because of what how much of the game it seems to capture. First, it highlights one of the more interesting gameplay loops in any trailer of the year. The story and the gameplay itself will all be wrapped into the loop that the player goes through, which each death seemingly restarting a "run" of the game. It can be tricky to persuade fans about a product and tell the story of what the title is all about with a simple trailer, but the Deathloop gameplay reveal does just t


The new mobile-compatible League of Legends ranked guide of Legends: Wild Rift _ reintroduces fan-favorite champions players can control, each with exciting abilities. _League of Legends: Wild Rift is an online multiplayer battle arena and modified version of League of Legends for PC. Like in the original, in Wild Rift players will compete against other teams or AI in the world of Runeterra and fight through a group of enemies to destroy the other team's Nexus , located within their base. There are over 40 champions players can collect and take into battle. Each one comes with a specific class that dictates their fighting style and a level of difficulty for players to master. At the start of each match , a player's champion will be set to their lowest stats, and players can build up their power and abilities over the course of the match by eliminating enemies and picking up obje

Players can use a few of these attacks in combination to do increased damage against enemies. One option is to use Unstoppable Force, then wait until the very last second the enemies are in the air from the attack and use Ground Slam. This will maximize damage and inhibit enemies from dealing quite as much damage to the team. For another potential combo, players can cast Flash, then use Unstoppable Force to travel farther and appear unexpecte


** Max Grossman: ** After they go live, it's always tough. We have a bunch of internal data on how Agents perform and can look at the numbers and use that as our most important balancing act. If a character is winning 57% of their matches (none of the Agents are winning that much; this is just a hypothetical) — that's probably something we should address, whether or not the community is aware of that problem. Then there's the flipside: players think something is overpowered, but we have hard data that shows it's not. Regardless of how we get that information, we can identify those problems as things that need addressing, and the solutions can look very differ


In Season 11, Riot took a sledgehammer to the entire shop, breaking it down and rebuilding it. The items of the past are gone. With a smarter shop and a whole collection of new items, the game has changed drastically. Unlike in the past, there aren't too many items that are downright awful. Of course, there are still some that are bad, even if they are situationally use

I recently had a chance to speak with Max Grossman, senior game designer on Valorant, about helping ease people into the game. From creating Agents like Killjoy who are beginner-friendly to making sure everyone is on equal footing, Riot is committed to making Valorant as fair as it is bone-crushingly diffic


It does vary from character to character, though. Some start as just pure mechanical "what does the character need to do in the space of the tactical game?" While others began as "the fantasy of this character is so cool, we have to have it." Both places can serve as inspiration as we're making new characters, but I think that, at least for me as a designer, I tend to lean on the more mechanical st


** Max Grossman: ** Mostly, our skin has gotten thicker. That would be my biggest takeaway. Like with Killjoy's turret, there was a lot of skepticism online, and internally that's something that you see and go, "oh god, are we doing the right thing?" For me, it helped build some of that armor and confidence that we weren't ruining the game, which feels good. Chances are if the community is skeptical about an Agent, we are too while designing them. While making a turret character for Valorant, we thought, "well, can we? Can it be good?" A turret that sits there and kills people betrays the promise of our game. So when we see a bunch of people online that feel that same way, I empathize. However, once someone gives a new Agent a spin, I always hope they realize how much work we put in before releasing anything in Valor


Thanks to Viego's initial attacks on multiple regions, there were brief moments where champions such as Darius were taken over by the Black Mist. Though the mind control was quickly undone, players got a glimpse of what possession does like manifesting the Ruined King's crown and color scheme of the Shadow Isles. And while many assumed this was a one-time showcase, several new skins reveal that it may become a common theme during Season


The reveal of Spider-Man: Miles Morales was great, as it came with a flurry of awesome announcements at the PlayStation 5 reveal event. But it was the gameplay demo from a few months later that really showcased what the game was all about. Leading up to the release of the web-slinging title, many wondered how long it would take to beat Spider-Man: Miles Morales , if it was a true sequel, or even if it would simply take place in the same New York C
