Dark Souls 3 character lightning a bonfire

I am usually the one that is the voice of caution when it comes to pre-release hype but the Souls series is my favorite bunch of games and everything I'm seeing from Dark Souls 3 just makes me want it even more. 

The two trailers released today definitely aren't helping the situation. You can find the more cinematic trailer, titled Embrace the Darkness, right here and I'll embed the pure gameplay below as I would like to share a few of my observations with you.

Logo for indie game ShipLord

ShipLord, despite what you might think on first glance is not a space shooter, far from it. It completely forgoes any notion of offense and instead puts the focus on dodging and timely use of defensive abilities.

Though be warned, just because there are no enemies to shoot doesn't mean you'll have an easy time as ShipLord is immensely difficult, especially if you try and go for some of the higher stage ranks.

Hunting a mammoth with your pet in Far Cry Primal.

Well this came out of nowhere didn't it. Surprise aside I can't say I mind the idea of a prehistoric version of Far Cry, at least then I will be certain there are no radio towers to climb. From what I'm seeing so far it seems very similar to Far Cry 3 & 4 which isn't necessarily a bad thing but I do hope it ends up being its own game rather than a retread.

Far Cry Primal was revealed during this year's Video Game Awards with a rather long developer playthrough following it, the video is embedded right below.

Telltale's Batman series logo

The rate at which Telltale is acquiring these high profile licenses is frankly quite stunning. They went from being a small developer of point and click adventures to a giant with a whole lot of sway in the industry.

In an announcement today Telltale revealed that they are working on an episodic story-focused game based on the Batman license. While this sounds amazing I am starting to feel that Telltale is stretching themselves a bit too thin.

PC version has much improved graphics.

It was only recently that I talked about Shadow Complex and how the Xbox Live Arcade hit will be coming to PC sometime soon.

Turns out that "sometime soon" in this case means only a couple of days because Epic has surprised everyone and released Shadow Complex today and not just for the PC, but for the PS4 and Xbox One as well.

The new warframe, Ivara, showing off.

This one has been in the works for a long time now and to say it was highly anticipated among the community is putting it lightly. A friend of mine kept checking Warframe every few hours to see if the patch maybe got released slightly early.

And looking through the list of additions it is easy to see why any Warframe fan would consider this patch so important. It has everything, from a new Warframe and tile set to complete game mode overhauls and new weapons and functionality. I won't go over all of the changes but here's what I feel are the most important ones.

A graphical comparison between the PS3 and PC version of Dragon's Dogma.

Youtuber Candyland released a brief video (embedded below) showcasing the graphical differences between the Playstation 3 and PC version of Dragon's Dogma.

As you might imagine the difference in texture quality is massive, especially when it comes to foliage and background elements of the environment. Given how many news and videos have been coming out of the PC version of Dragon's Dogma it would appear that Capcom is very confident in their PC port. Great news indeed.
