at fortnite, you can look at warzone. and when you have multiplayer, it really is about a vibrant and growing player base, and that s our goal. and we ve always said, when everyone plays, we all win. # tell me what you want and i ll tell you what i m gonna do. forza 5 horizon heads to mexico, demoing a jungle rally from its campaign mode and some incredible landscapes, along with very, very shiny cars. but one of the biggest ticket items came courtesy of that $7.5 billion acquisition of zenimax bethesda s parent company. this might be the first new games franchise in 25 years from the developer behind the fallout and elder scrolls games but bethesda still hasn t shown us any starfield gameplay. i think the problem, for me, with starfield is that we don t really know what the game is going to be like to play. we know it s gonna be open world, you re gonna have the freedom to do what you want, but that trailer did a really bad job
the covid 19 pandemic means the annual e3 games convention has done away with its usual physical event in favour of an online affair. i m in london, not la, and there is an e3 event, of sorts, on. first out of the blocks this online only e3 were ubisoft. they d drafted in an actor who s broken bad and mopped up a mandalorian to star as the villain in their new game, far cry 6. these fish? giancarlo esposito is starring as anton castillo, the big bad running a fictional caribbean dictatorship in open world shooter far cry 6. the title s brought into sharp focus the issue of politics, or political themes, in games. the reality is, every piece of work you put out in the world is political to some degree. whether it s a film, a book, a tv show or game, far cry 6 is no different. so what interests me is is, you know, what are we talking about? what themes are we hitting, you know? for example, we talk about the rise of fascism, we talk about human rights, we talk about imperialism in th
if i was a catfisher, i would much rather use this kind of fabricated, photorealistic imagery rather than trawling the alt web, looking for actually existing photographs out there. so in that respect, it will make catfishing much more harder to detect. people leverage other people s photos and you know, so it s very hard to say in what ways would ill minded people use this? but the amount of work that s required to do something like that, i think you would have to be extremely talented to actually get to a level where you can pull that off. which would be a strange use of talent, but. tech like the metahuman creator is a long way off being able to replicate humans completely. at the moment, its main use will be for creating secondary or non playable characters in games. but with tools like this making digital humans accessible to everyone and anyone, we ll certainly be seeing more of them in future. or maybe we won t as they ll all just look
like the rest of us. great stuff! now, one of the big differences between playing a game and watching a movie is that you, the player, can become the star of it. in fact, many games allow you to customise your avatar so you can just become a virtual version of yourself. but that hasn t always been the case. kesewaa brown has been taking a look at how far black representation truly has come in games in the last few years, and what one mother and daughter are doing to tackle the issue. this is yvonne, a graphic designer based in london. and this is her daughter alyssa. she is playing the game that they designed together, frobelles. but they didn t create this app for the fun of it they wanted to solve a long lived problem in gaming. when alyssa came to me and said, mum, i am looking for characters with hair like mine. why is it that these games
however, when fans got a first look at the game last year, it s putting it mildly to say they were unimpressed. in fact, adverse fan reaction forced developers 3a3 into delaying the game to spend more time tweaking it. game voiceover: the flag is ours. the most important thing is the quality of the games. we know that. our customers tell us that. our own teams feel that. and it s been a difficult year when you think about production in the time of covid 19. we took the feedback from people. we brought in new leadership and this was a big time for us to show multiplayer, you know? halo s multiplayer s always been such a strength. xbox played it safe by showing multiplayer gameplay, which included looks at special armour fan favourite weapons like the energy sword, and in a challenge to the likes of call of duty: warzone, halo multiplayer will be free to play. i think you see how these free to play multiplayer games have really done well. you can look at things
