It's because of that fact that this week's two-part crossover between their headlining stars begins with full reveal of not one, but three new DC Comics characters (on top of continuing each show's storylines). The result is an episode dripping with fan service - but one that ultimately has far too many masters to serve to ever hope of doing it w
Also, for things that weren't working like “Identify Ray”, it's a fun idea but in practice doesn't work. You're channeling on someone – which is a really risky thing to do in Heroes of the Storm – so you want a big reward but we didn't want Deckard blowing people up. So, you're not really getting enough out of the risk you're tak
It's no secret that Mists of Pandaria is not the most beloved World of Warcraft expansion. Many players were disappointed by the game's move in a seemingly less serious direction, especially as it arrived just after one of the darker stories in the game's complicated l
On paper, the plan is being executed to perfection. Cisco (Carlos Valdes) uses his new superpower to sense big things in his new girlfriend's future, those big things get even bigger when a magical villain comes to town, establishing himself as too much for masked vigilantes, and chasing the now-fully-revealed Hawkgirl off into their own series . It's a thing of shared universe beauty if it can be pulled off, and Crump is up to the task of playing an immortal villain. Unfortunately and, perhaps fittingly, it's the velocity that becomes the prob
No list of Blizzard cinematics would be complete without mention of the original World of Warcraft reveal trailer. In many ways, this is the trailer that kicked off the modern era of Blizzard gaming. The reveal trailer takes players back to Azeroth after Warcraft 3 and offers a brand-new perspective on the Warcraft setting. Aside from Trolls, just about every race and class get some love in this trai
Now, as you see, our patch schedule is insane; I think we patched 57 times last year which is nuts. But there's so much content; we're always tweaking things. Everything is open for improvement. It doesn't really matter what's in-game or what's new in the game; we're always looking at it on how we can make this game bet
Developer Wales Interactive has announced their first-person parkour and shooting MOBA Game Tournaments, Infinity Runner , will be making its way to Xbox One. The fast-paced linear game has found success on Steam, and will likely be available for Xbox One owners before the end of the y
It's possible that these issues will be remedied in the crossover's second half, but only time will tell. For now, it's enough to say that the stars and characters sharing the same set will undoubtedly get fans demanding nothing more than that excited. But in hindsight, any one of these subplots - Hawkman's return, Vandal Savage's arrival, Kendra coming to grips with her past and taking a leap of faith, or receiving more than a single sentence of guidance from Barry - could have carried enough drama for its own episode. If the crossover ends with the heroes taking flight together, fans would have the right to feel they were robbed of the journey to take
Last month, word broke that Microsoft had canceled a reboot of Phantom Dust , which was being developed by Darkside Games. The reboot was meant to revive the cult classic from the original Xbox, and while Darkside Games is no longer working on it, Microsoft says it still plans to release the game at some point for Xbox One. Microsoft didn’t provide a reason for cancelling the project, or when they envision the game will rele
Regardless of what the most hardcore fans thought, the Mists of Pandaria trailer became an incredibly popular TV spot in the month's leading up to the game's release. It featured exciting action with its three way battle, but more importantly, showcased Blizzard's sense of humor. The trailer isn't full of jokes at all, but a few well-placed visual gags make it impossible not to love the cinematic introduction of the universe's new r
In the last twelve years, the powerhouse studio has developed a reputation of announcing games by revealing breathtaking cinematic trailers that appeal to both long-time fans of the company's IPs and potential new customers. Although the last few games and their expansions have been announced with trailers that focus more on in-game footage ( like World of Warcraft: Legion ), the company still releases a top of the line cinematic trailer when each new product hits shel
We wanted to take on that challenge of bringing that character and making him feel appropriate in the Nexus with all these great heroes. We were waiting for the right moment to be ready to tackle that challenge and really do him just
