Following the success of 2006's Prey , Bethesda and Human Head Studios began working on Prey 2 . However, this game sadly fell into the depths of development hell and was eventually canceled in 2014. Instead of letting the IP die, Bethesda teamed up with Arkane Studios - a French company known for the Dishonored series - and began working on a reimagining of the 2006 game with an entirely new narrative, which was released in 2


More importantly, the gameplay is satisfying. 64 players compete in a top-down slaughter to the end, and they fight using special animals. Progression comes in the form of experience points gained after a match, which then open up new Super Animals that can be used in future battles to the death. This animal battle royale game has unique Super Powerups that can help any player last longer in rounds, or even help them


One of the mainstays of the Halo franchise has been the Forge system; a revolutionary feature that began as a mere "sandbox" in Halo 3 , it’s basically allowed people to craft better maps and game types than the developers—particularly after modding became a th


Bolstered by new movement capabilities, there are endless layout problems, troublesome spawning choices, and Big Team Battle has especially suffered. Additionally, with such an emphasis on competitive multiplayer, they’ve forgotten casual gamers—and the fact that an idea for a map must be conceptually solid, first and forem


Whenever Xbox's flagship series releases a new title, the gaming industry stops and takes notice. Halo 5: Guardians was released in October 2015 and had the tough task of continuing the series' high qual


We'll all be carefully scrutinizing 343 Industries' next installment in Microsoft’s flagship Xbox franchise, Halo: Infinite . At least, Halo used to feel that significant. The franchise doesn’t quite seem to carry the same clout that it used to. After E3 and many undelivered promises, the developers are in damage control mode, though that's most directly due to a poor campaign in Halo 5 , the strange Squad system, microtransactions, and other controversial additi


The Finals frames its action around a virtual game show that has players competing against each other to earn cash. This concept is tweaked to accommodate a few modes that are fairly similar but emphasize different elements. Bank It is the best option for people who want to focus on gunplay and prefer to work alone. While this mode splits players into team, cash is earned by directly killing enemies, so there is not that much need to prioritize teamw


We went hands-on with **Halo Wars 2 ** at E3 last summer and it looked great, played great, and seems perfect for fans of real-time strategy games of old. The sequel takes place nearly three decades after the original, set just after the events of Halo 5: Guardians so get ready for some potential setup to Halo


The Requisition System is a truly curious feature, but one thing is certain—it has to go. While other franchises such as Star Wars: Battlefront II have committed to linear progression systems, there isn’t a gamer in the world that will defend microtransactions. Certainly not pay-to-win features. It’s a predatory tactic from developers who have more than enough money alre


Granted, she will never be able to replace Cortana, but Infinite could serve as a good way to separate Isabel from Cortana by developing Isabel's personality in a way that keeps her from feeling like a cheap knock-


Still, many critics would have you believe that every fan should be pleased, and perhaps the game was more effective than some purists might feel. So, here are some suggestions for a successful Halo sequel, as well as some things that really shouldn’t carry over from Halo

With the Guardians threatening all life in the galaxy, including the Elites, he will have to do something about it. Aiding Chief in Infinite would be a good way of helping his people. Even if he is not there alongside him, Arbiter's presence would be good support for the Ch


With all of the games, books, and other outlets that have expanded the Halo universe, there are a number of characters that should appear in the games, be it for narrative reasons or for fan service. While there are plenty of characters that could be included, here are some characters that many players would be delighted to


Another way Infinite could connect to Halo Wars 2 is with its major A.I. character, Isabel. Despite her young age for an A.I. she proved to be a huge asset to the crew of the Spirit of Fire and could do the same for the Master Chief, since Cortana won't be around after her heel turn in Hal

A campaign of raids against Covenant forces was yet another opportunity to allow would-be adversaries to switch sides and join the Banished in their cause, thereby swelling their ranks. Atriox's charisma was so strong that he even managed to convince a Covenant special Tactical Ops Playlist unit called Silent Shadow to def
