BioWare General Manager Aaryn Flynn has confirmed that Mass Effect: Andromeda won't be out until early 2017. That release window actually came to light earlier this year by way of CFO Blake Jorgensen's address at the Morgan Stanley Technology, Media, and Telecom Conference, but now it's official.

The official Twitter account for Battlefield has answered a number of fan questions, revealing some new details about Battlefield 1. According to it, Battlefield 1 will take destruction to a whole new level. Basically, we can expect at a lot of chaos thanks to the Frostbite 3 Engine, so we are really curious to see what DICE has in store for us.

BATTLEFIELD 1 WILL BE DIGITAL-ONLY ON PC IN NORTH AMERICA

http://www.pcgamer.com/battlefield-1-will-be-digital-only-on-pc-in-north-america/

Direct your attention to Amazon and you will notice that the PC version of Battlefield 1 is tagged with the notation “No Disc.” Go to GameStop and you'll see the same thing: The only purchase option available to PC owners is a download. That's because, as EA confirmed today, the PC release in North America will only be available digitally.

TITANFALL 2 WILL RELEASE AT THE END OF THIS YEAR

http://www.pcgamer.com/titanfall-2-will-release-at-the-end-of-this-year/

The exact release date of Titanfall 2 has been a much-pillaged source of news and speculation these last two years, but now we've moved closer to a specific date. During an earnings call earlier today, Electronic Arts CEO Andrew Wilson confirmed a "fiscal Q3" release window, which in non-corporate speak means some time between the start of October and end of December this year.

Clint will rock even in his nineties!

The day he dies is the day we lose an old Western legend.

Also fuck ye I can finally play the game!.

They found a different pub and will now support Windows 7-8.1.

Excellent, I like when third parties don't surrender to MS plans, in this case to accelerate obsolescence of its previous OS versions, and choose users' best interest instead.

^Basil, looking at FF VIII, I don't regret skipping it on he PSOne era. It doesn't make "click" for me.

The news! And today there are quite a few of them

http://www.pcgamer.com/report-says-lionhead-deals-fell-through-because-microsoft-refused-to-sell-fable/

Lionhead Studios is dead and buried, shuttered by Microsoft despite—in the words of Microsoft—having “delighted millions of fans with the Fable series over the past decade.” Now it's come to light, by way of a Kotaku report, that the studio almost dodged the bullet. But while Microsoft was clearly willing to let Lionhead go, it apparently had different ideas about Fable.

DARK SOULS 3 POISE BUG IS A FEATURE, BANDAI NAMCO CLAIMS

http://www.pcgamer.com/dark-souls-3-poise-bug-is-a-feature-bandai-namco-claims/

You can play a Dark Souls game without giving a single thought to the poise stat, but if you're interested in post-game PvP shenanigans then you probably obsess over it. Basically, it determines how resilient you are to being staggered, and it's especially useful for tank builds. If you've got high poise, your attacks are less likely to be interrupted by your opponent's.

Elusive Targets are part of Io's ambition to make Hitman's vast levels ongoing, murderous puzzles. Originally expected soon after launch, the first will stroll into either Paris or Sapienza for 48 hours starting Friday 13. If I were the high-value spymaster sort, I'd stay home every Friday 13.

2K is quite smart. I didn't notice it yesterday but, after the announcement of Civilization VI, now the previous Civ games on Steam are on sale, 75% sale.
