You look at a Javelin in Anthem, and you don’t just see several tons of awesome being used to pepper a battlefield with micro-rockets and exotic techno-magic. I see a lethal expression of individuality, suits which can be tailored to provide a unique and glorious final image before an enemy finds their face rearranged by a mechanised metal fist of frontier justice.

Returning to where it all began more than a decade and a half ago, Battlefield V throws players back into the frontlines of World War II. Thanks to clever new gameplay additions though, this is a view of the Second World War not seen before.

Was the dream of a glorious return to Westwood’s universe of war dead? At the time, yes. But today? Command & Conquer lives once again. WE FIGHT FOR NOD!

Because this is 2018, Battlefield V has three different release dates. The game is officially being released to retail on November 20, but those who pre-order the deluxe edition get to play from November 15. Those who subscribe to EA’s Origin Access Premier, however, could start playing the game from last night. Most who’ve given it a fair shake so far are impressed, but that doesn’t mean that the game is without issue.

A couple of months ago, EA’s chief design officer Patrick Söderlund decided that the time was right for him to part ways with the company. Striking out on his lonesome, Söderlund’s big plan was to venture into game development territory with Embark Studios. Officially revealed this week by Maple Story publisher Nexon over at a Tokyo earnings call, Embark Studios has big plans for the future.

While you’ve got free range of where and how you see your fella in The Sims 4, the default is usually an isometric view as you gaze from the heavens above down at your creation. You can throw divine possession into the mix soon, as last night’s Sims 4 livestream revealed that one of the longest running jokes in the series is about to be an actual function in the game: A first-person camera mode, which will be available in the next update.

EA’s upcoming Anthem wants to take advantage of the latest in video game console technology, as developer Bioware revealed that the game will have options available for players who seek a specific level of performance.

Only some of Anthem was shown off in a livestream this week. Today, EA probably said “what the hell” and decided to detail everything that these Javelin suits are capable of. And buddy, they sure do sound fun.
