Overwatch’s New Horizon Map Gets a Release Date
Overwatch will see the launch of the assault map Horizon Lunar Colony on June 20.
Developer Blizzard made the announcement in a new preview video (seen below). Horizon Lunar Colony was the home of Overwatch hero Winston until other genetically enhanced gorillas overthrew the scientists on the moon base.
The Horizon Lunar Colony map was unveiled last month. Before that, Blizzard teased the Overwatch locale and possibly even a new character called Hammond.
Days Gone Looks Like Horizon Zero Dawn, Minus Dinosaurs
From what I've seen at E3 2017, Days Gone looked a lot like another Sony exclusive from earlier in 2017, Horizon Zero Dawn. The main difference is that, instead of fighting off hordes of robot dinosaurs (which is new, and awesome!), you are fighting off hordes of zombies (which I've done before, a lot).
In an extended demo at E3 2017, I saw the same mission you can watch below, but at night, and in the snow.
It began with main character, Deacon, accepting a mission from an NPC at a home base. From there, Deacon made his way to a spot marked on the map. Here he investigated using what the demo team called "Survivor Vision," which laid out clues and a highlighted path to a kidnapped buddy. If this is already sounding a lot like Horizon to you Horizon vets, the list of similarities continued: Sneak attacks from high grass; Crafted traps; A silent bow for sniping; Gorgeous, weather-strewn "high desert" (their words) landscapes.
Exploring Ubisoft’s New VR Thriller Transference
Transference wants you to walk a mile in another person’s shoes, or, their memories in this case. And given the 20 minutes I spent inside the mind of a man named Walter, who I was informed suffered from PTSD, I’m both intrigued to experience more and a little cautious about how much I can handle.
I experienced two intercut periods in Walter’s life in his home during the demo — one in the early 1990’s and another in the early 2000’s. My goal in the newly announced Ubisoft VR game was to get into my son Scott’s locked room, and to do so I had to hop between time periods (conveniently via light switches on the wall) to solve environmental puzzles, like finding the key to open a certain door.

How Far Cry 5 Evolves the Formula in Great Ways
In its 13-year history, the Far Cry series has always excelled at presenting players with complex problems, pointing us towards an arsenal of weapons, abilities, and systems at our disposal, and letting us have the freedom to create our own insane stories. This is only amplified in Far Cry 5 thanks to denser environments, more player tools, and the fantastic new Guns for Hire system.
We went hands-on with a mission that involved liberating a small town from its occupiers, the Project at Eden’s Gate – you know, that doomsday cult that got the internet all in a fuss after the initial reveal trailer. Though it was a relatively short demo, the meat of it came in choosing one of three different Guns for Hire as your partner, which in turn, completely changed how the encounter unfolded.
