Evolve is an asymmetrical multiplayer experience as it focuses on four players, the Hunters, combating a single powerful player who controls the Monster. You can choose different classes and characters within those classes, upgrade your skills and traverse across the open arena for the hunt. The Monster itself has the ability to “evolve” in the game, becoming stronger over a period of time.

Releasing on February 10th, Evolve will be out on PC, PS4 and Xbox One. What are your thoughts on the game thus far? Will you be picking it up at launch? Let us know in the comment.

Crimes and Punishments: Sherlock Holmes is a notable game for the developers too- it is the first game in the series that ditches their in house engine, and instead moves over to Unreal Engine 4. It is also the first game in the series that will be coming to the next generation consoles, hitting the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on the same day as it releases on PC, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3.

The game promises six major cases for the detective, and a story that changes tone and direction again from the previous installment, which took the character into hitherto unprecedented macabre territory. Stay tuned to GamingBolt for more coverage.

Among the new features the update adds are included:

• Drivers will now have the option to display the course map on the TV screen during races.
• Users will be able to check out statistics such as their total number of coins accumulated, win-loss record from online play, and their most frequently selected character overall.
• Users will be able to change options of others’ Mario Kart TV downloaded highlight reels, such as changing the focus to a new character or event.
• The order of the menu after each race will be changed to “ Next Race”, followed by “Watch Highlight Reel”.
• The game will remember the most recent customized kart settings that were selected, even if the Wii U system is powered down.
• Improvements to stability of connection in online play to enhance the user experience.

Starting  27th August and all the way through 23rd September, Nintendo and Mercedes-Benz will also host an online worldwide “Mercedes Cup” tournament. All competitors need is a Wii U console, Mario Kart 8, a broadband Internet connection and the Mercedes-Benz karts. Access to the “Mercedes Cup” in the game can be found in the online tournament section.

A new feature that appears for the first time in the Dragon Age series is targeting points, otherwise known as location specific damage. Cripple some limbs to floor a creature. Magic Schools return with different approaches to combat being available to the player as well as the customisable skill tree’s for non magic classes. Build your character as a master archer or a brutal dual wielding rogue, play the game your way with your unique character.

Dragon Age Inquisition is going to be the first time that players can create a character that is of Qunari descent. Qunari are impressive in both stature and combat prowess, so it should be interesting to see how they fit into the new playstyles available to the player.

Dragon Age: Inquisition launches on November 21st 2014.

The Xbox One and PlayStation 4 release will, they promise, boast exclusive content and high quality redone graphics. Whether they mean redone from the PC release just last year, which would be an incentive even for PC owners to pick this new release up, or just redone as in redone from the original 3D Realms game, which would make this the same as last year’s PC release, isn’t yet clear.

Stay tuned to GamingBolt for more in any case.

What this trailer above shows you is the new gameplay improvements, which include improved player agility and control over both the player and the ball itself. All of these are part of the improvements brought about because of EA’s Ignite engine.

FIFA 15 will be hitting the Xbox One, PlayStation 4, PC, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Wii, Nintendo 3DS, and PlayStation Vita, although only the Xbox One, PS4, and PC versions will get all the new features included with EA Ignite, while Xbox 360 and PS3 just get regular new updates. Meanwhile, the Wii, PS Vita, and 3DS will get a ‘Legacy Edition’ re-packaging of last year’s game (which in turn was a re-packaging of last year’s game, and so on going all the way back to FIFA 12 in 2011).

Crowntakers places players into a beautiful medieval fantasy world that utilizes procedurally-generated environments and enemies to create a different adventure each time. Players must face the unknown, assemble a brave troupe of fearsome mercenaries and embark on a quest to banish evil from the world.

The game will be a turn based role playing game, offering players alternative endings, further adding to the replay value, alongside resource, unit, and inventory management.

It will be coming out later this year on PC and tablet platforms. Stay tuned to GamingBolt for more coverage of the game. Maybe this can be the new Banner Saga.

The game is due out later this year, and people are understandably antsy to see more of it. Microsoft and Insomniac offered a pretty good look at the game to us at Microsoft’s E3 presser back in June in L.A., but now we get to see more of it. Specifically, this newest video shows us the full extent of character customization available in game.

Sunset Overdrive is due out only on Xbox One later this year. It is Insomniac’s latest (and most promising) title after a string of flops, that included attempted new IP with EA, Fuse, and a series of disappointing Ratchet and Clank games- including All 4 One, Full Frontal Assault, and Into The Nexus.

Stay tuned for more coverage.

We’ve known a lot about Crimes and Punishments for a fair bit now- such as how this is the first game in the series that isn’t being made on an in house engine, and will be powered by Unreal instead- but this is the first time that we get to see how it plays, by seeing it in action in over twenty minutes of gameplay footage.

Be sure to check it out and tell us what you think.

Crimes and Punishments: Sherlock Holmes launches on Xbox 360, Xbox One, PS3, PS4, and PC this September. Stay tuned.

The FIFA series made some broad, wide sweeping, big gameplay changes over the course of the last generation to reach the point of pitch perfection it is at today. For the last few years, EA Sports have been iterating on the established formula by trying to make the game more realistic and authentic, with a slew of seemingly minor gameplay features that attempt to add depth. Players responding to crowds accurately seems to be the latest in a line of that.
