| The best sports title, period FIFA 14 review [Gaming Trend]

Patrick Rost: "Short of placing gamers in the seats of Camp Nou with scarves in hand, FIFA 14 provides its dedicated fan base with the most intensely authentic sports experience on the market. Once again, FIFA reigns high over the sports gaming world, and is a must own title for even the most rudimentary of soccer fans."

| The Dave Franco of soccer games Pro Evolution Soccer 2014 review [Gaming Trend]
Added: 25.09.2013 3:19 | 3 views | 0 comments
Patrick Rost: "While the gameplay and overall game ambiance is pedestrian to its older sibling, Pro Evolution Soccer 2014 makes its money off of another aspect altogether: completely insane levels of customization. While that may appease hardcore football heads and the self-styled Gods of their own sporting universe, its drawbacks will leave many gamers wanting."

| DICE defends timing of Battlefield 4 beta
Added: 24.09.2013 22:05 | 2 views | 0 comments
Executive producer Patrick Bach says even though the beta is "quite late," the developer still has time to listen to feedback and implement changes in final game. 
The beta starts next week, less than a month before the game ships for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC. Despite the short time between beta and release, developer DICE believes it has time to implement changes in the final game based on feedback from the beta.
"Even if we're doing [a beta] quite late, we still have the opportunity to do some tweaks," executive producer Patrick Bach said in a new video (below). "And of course we want to get feedback not only from the beta, but also from game when it's out on the market. We have a history of following up with the game for months and months after it's been released. So to us, it's an ongoing service."
Battlefield 4 is also coming to next-generation consoles the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 as launch titles for those platforms in November. Since these machines won't be available to the public ahead of launch, DICE can't hold beta testing period specific to these platforms.
Bach acknowledged that this is a less-than-optimal scenario, but explained that some of the general feedback from the current-generation console and PC betas can be carried forward to the Xbox One and PS4 versions of Battlefield 4.
"That's of course a problem that we cannot solve," Bach said. "We wish people had the next-gen consoles earlier because then they could participate in the beta as well. But in general, we are collecting feedback from both the current-gen consoles and the PC beta and applying all that data and information onto the next-gen consoles."
Bach also said in the video that Battlefield 4 game updates for the Xbox One and PS4 versions can be downloaded automatically while the systems are in low-power states, if users enable this setting. "We can just push it out to them," he said.
The Battlefield 4 beta features the Siege of Shanghai map in Conquest or Domination mode. New features and elements like Levolution and Amphibious Assault will be featured in the beta.
Gamers who preorder the Battlefield 4 PC Digital Deluxe Edition, Limited or Digital Deluxe Edition can begin playing on October 1.
On October 4, the Battlefield 4 beta will be opened to all Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC players.
