Summer Game Fest/Game Awards Host Explains The Downfall For E3 Is Its Own Fault, Recent Interview Reveals

When eyeing over at this June, the scheduled list of events is stacking high. Already, the PlayStation Showcase & Meta Quest Showcase took place. And there is still the Xbox Games Showcase, Devolver Direct, Ubisoft Forward, PC Gaming Show, and Summer Game Fest. Much of these separate shows is to blame for the cancelation of 2023’s E3 earlier this year. Part of it has to blame for the COVID-19 pandemic. Part of it is also pointing at the poor handling of the show in recent years. Now with ReedPop now overseeing the event – it was expected some good news would come for the Los Angeles show. One of the largest withdrawals from the show happened to be The Game Awards host Geoff Keighley in 2020. Keighley went on to form Summer Game Fest many view as his retaliation to the annual event. But according to Keighley himself, Summer Game Fest was not a weapon to strike down E3. When speaking on the recent episode of the Video Game Chronicles Podcast, he told the publication that more of the actions made by leadership at the event left E3 in turmoil – not Summer Game Fest. I think E3 sort of killed itself in a way. I understand why people say [SGF killed E3], but I think if anything, we created Summer Game Fest, and I built Summer Game Fest because I saw the wheels falling off the wagon of E3. As someone who loves that time of year… for two decades, E3 was part of my life since I was a 15-year-old kid. [From] the first E3 in 1995, I went to every show. I loved it and it defined my summer. It was so exciting to me, and it was heartbreaking to see that start to fall apart. I think they had a relevancy problem, and then they also had a participation problem over the final years.So yeah, I think the question is, if we didn’t do Summer Game Fest what would happen? I think things would have just kind of really splintered apart this summer. Keighley adds: “I get the sentiment around it. It was sad to me that we had to decide to go off and build something new, but we did that all in partnership with the publishers, and our list of partners for Summer Game Fest did not change at all with the cancellation of E3 this year. […] E3 cancelled in 2020, after I’d pulled out, due to the pandemic, and I started Summer Game Fest at home in a spare bedroom, not even knowing what I was really doing – we were just trying to figure out a way to bring news to fans.” “Everyone we’ve been working with, we’ve been working with for months around Summer Game Fest. So there was a world where Summer Game Fest and E3 would have co-existed, and we had talked a lot to [E3 organiser] ReedPop about that possibility, because they were focused much more on a big trade event, and consumer event, and that’s not what we were doing with Summer Game Fest.” And then, you remember, there was the digital E3 they did in 2021, which was kind of their stab at, I guess, doing something similar to what we did. And then it didn’t happen last year, didn’t happen this year. So yeah, I never really felt in competition with E3, we were doing something different. We were focusing on a big livestreamed digital show. I guess in 2021 there was maybe a little bit of competition between what we were doing and what E3 was doing. This year, I thought we had a reasonable plan, that we were doing what we were doing with a big show at YouTube Theater, and our press and influencer event Play Days which is a closed door thing, and E3 was going to do this big trade show at the LA Convention Center with a consumer event. “And I always thought it was probably overly ambitious for what they were planning this year, but I was like ‘cool, if they can pull that off, great’. We worked out the dates so it was going to be after what we did with Summer Game Fest. So yeah, I didn’t really see it as competitive – I questioned the viability of what their plan was, but if the industry wanted that and wanted to support that, I think people could have done both. “There were some companies toying with the idea of announcing their game with us, then having it consumer-playable at E3. It’s a bummer it played out the way it did, and I think for a lot of the fans it’s been such a rollercoaster, of willing E3 back. And the feedback it’s always tough to see is when people are like ‘bring back E3’, and that somehow suggests that the Sony event would have been better if it was part of E3 or something. And it’s just, like, the E3 that we all know and love, and that we grew up with – it really hasn’t been E3 for seven or eight years.” What do you think is the reason for the state of E3 currently? Summer Game Fest goes live on June 8, 2023 at 3 PM EST / 12 PM PST. Source: Video Game Chronicles

But, there is more of its repertoire that is on the way from the Electronic Arts team. Previously, BioWare confirmed the next Dragon Age title is to be dubbed ‘Dragon Age: Dreadwolf’.

Additionally, Mass Effect is in a similar situation as the next mainline entry was pressed to be in “early development” as of June 2022. But, the team’s plate might free up fairly soon. According to IGN, publisher Electronic Arts are discussing BioWare’s ongoing Star Wars: The Old Republic to be handed to a new studio as BioWare keeps its view on its upcoming projects.

We’re so proud of the work the team has done, and the future of the game and the community continues to be very bright. We’re evaluating how we give the game and the team the best opportunity to grow and evolve, which includes conversations with Broadsword, a boutique studio that specializes in delivering online, community-driven experiences. Our goal is to do what is best for the game and its players. As for other projects that could be considered to be overseen by BioWare, a previous statement by Mass Effect: Legendary Edition project director Mac Walters told that the team is considering multiplayer for Mass Effect 3 in the compilation bundle. Howbeit, there has been little update on if the desire will be truly realized now years later. Other recent BioWare updates came in the form of BioWare Points being shuttered for legacy BioWare titles. The virtual currency was used to purchase additional content on older Mass Effect/Dragon Age titles. But, BioWare did address the DLC would instead be free following the decision’s execution.

OSRS Ranged Training Guide: Enhancing Your Gameplay

Old School RuneScape (OSRS), a popular massively multiplayer online role-playing game, has captivated players worldwide. A key aspect of this game is the combat system, where ranged combat is one of the three combat styles that players can adopt. In this guide, we will be exploring efficient ways to train your Ranged skill, how to make use of your OSRS GP (in-game currency) and acquiring the OSRS Fire Cape. Understanding the Basics of Ranged Training Ranged training involves using weapons like bows and arrows, crossbows, or thrown weapons like darts and knives. Training Ranged skills is necessary for dealing with adversaries from a distance, which comes in handy in various game scenarios. It also becomes critical when aiming for the coveted Fire Cape, awarded for completing the TzHaar Fight Cave, a minigame that requires good combat skills, including Ranged. Efficient Ranged Training Strategies There are numerous ways to train your Ranged skill in OSRS. For beginners, killing chickens, cows, or goblins using a shortbow or longbow can be a good start. Collect feathers, cowhides, or bones and sell them for OSRS GP, which is an efficient way to not only train but also earn. For intermediate players with ranged levels from 40 to 60, fighting Hill Giants in the Edgeville Dungeon or training against Moss Giants in the Varrock Sewers can be effective. Use a Dorgeshuun Crossbow for lower levels and upgrade to a Magic Shortbow or a Rune Crossbow as you progress. For advanced players above level 70, you can train your Ranged skill at the Nightmare Zone, using a blowpipe or a chinchompa for rapid experience gains. Alternatively, training on Slayer tasks is another productive method, as it offers the benefit of training Slayer skill alongside Ranged. The Importance of OSRS GP in Ranged Training OSRS GP is the official currency of the game, vital for upgrading your gear and buying essential items like arrows or runes. For Ranged training, GP can help you obtain better ammunition and gear, improving your damage output and accuracy. This, in turn, can speed up your training process and make it more efficient. Hence, ensuring a steady influx of OSRS GP is crucial. Where to Buy OSRS Gold At some point, you might find your OSRS GP reserves dwindling. While there are several ways to earn more gold in the game, it can be time-consuming. For those seeking a shortcut, consider trusted platforms such as PlayerAuctions, where you can buy OSRS gold from other players in a secure manner. Acquiring the OSRS Fire Cape The OSRS Fire Cape is a reward for surviving the TzHaar Fight Cave minigame. It requires players to fight multiple waves of TzHaar creatures, ending with a boss battle against TzTok-Jad. It’s a highly coveted item, boosting both Melee and Ranged attacks. Ranged training is crucial for this challenge as it allows players to deal damage from a distance, crucial for surviving the higher waves. Optimizing Your Ranged Training for Fire Cape Acquisition Ranged training goes hand in hand with acquiring the Fire Cape. By following the aforementioned strategies, upgrading your gear with the help of OSRS GP, and honing your combat skills, you can increase your chances of obtaining the Fire Cape. Remember, the Fight Cave is a test of endurance, strategy, and skill, and your ranged abilities will be a key factor in your success. Therefore, consistent and efficient ranged training is paramount. Conclusion In OSRS, mastering the Ranged skill can significantly improve your gameplay experience. Through effective training strategies, wise use of OSRS GP, and the quest for the powerful Fire Cape, you can become a formidable contender in the game. Always remember, every combat style in OSRS holds unique strengths and weaknesses. It is about learning to use them strategically to your advantage. So, pick up your bows and arrows, and let the Ranged training begin!
OSRS Quest Speedrunning Final Batch

With all of the scheduled quests released, here’s what you need to know about OSRS’ quest speedrunning. Quests have always been a massive part of OSRS, along with skilling and ways to earn OSRS GP to progress your bank. This is partly because of the fantastic quality-of-life unlocks, the content and areas locked behind certain quests, and even the quest cape motivates many to complete as many. There’s also a good OSRS gold incentive for doing quests because of some of the unlocks. The Benefits After doing the bon voyage quest, you’ll have access to birdhouses to level your hunter skill and make some OSRS GP. Interesting and iconic stories and epic battles will unfold when you quest in RuneScape, and regardless of what quests you choose to do first or have the requirements for, they will for sure leave a mark on you. Either you will hate or love doing quests, and you will spend many hours and some gold to complete all of the quests. And if you’re one of the players who love questing, the challenges can take another level with quest speedrunning. You can only access this relatively new game mode as a member. To start quest speedrunning, you have to swap to one of the quest speedrunning worlds. Here you’ll get a brand new profile regardless of your progress in the main game, and for each of the quests you can currently speedrun, you will get specific stats and items. This is so that everyone competing faces the same challenges and the times obtained are fair. There are currently 5 quest speedrunning worlds: 502, 540, 549, 568, and 576. You can easily recognize them in the worlds list because they are marked with a turquoise star, and there is one world for each region except the NA, which has two speedrunning worlds. Differences The quest speedrunning worlds are similar to the regular worlds. However, there are a few exceptions. For example, all PvP is disabled in these unique worlds, including PvP minigames such as LMS or Castle Wars. A big difference is that teleports that generally have a timer, such as the home teleport or the minigame teleports, will have their timer paused on logout rather than have it continue like on the regular worlds. This is to ensure that no one abuses logging out and logging back in conveniently after the timer expires and gives a fair chance for everyone to set the exact times on each quest. Questrunning Rewards The rewards you can obtain from the quest speedrunning game mode are exclusively cosmetic items. First, you can get the trophies, and there are five possible trophies you can earn: bronze, silver, gold, platinum, and diamond. You can obtain each trophy by beating the timers for all available quests. At the reward shop, you can get some other rewards. The adventurer’s outfit has free tiers, and the highest tier can be combined with the graceful outfit in the main world for some extra usefulness. There’s also a giant stopwatch and a cosmetic upgrade to your home teleport animation, which you can get. Quests There are currently 15 quests you can speedrun, and with the latest addition, Jagex has finished adding the quests they scheduled for. However, they could add even more quests to the speedrunning game mode in the future. X Marks the Spot Cook’s Assistant Vampyre Slayer Ernest the Chicken Demon Slayer Prince Ali Rescue Below Ice Mountain Temple of the Eye Dragon Slayer I A Taste of Hope Beneath Cursed Sands A Kingdom Divided Sins of The Father Dragon Slayer II Black Knights’ Fortress Final Batch The last two quests that Jagex added to the speedrunning mode are the Black Knights’ Fortress and dragon slayer 2. Even though the mode already had some long quests, such as sins of the father or a kingdom divided, Dragon Slayer 2 is the first grandmaster-level quest you can speedrun. Black Knights’ Fortress This is a very short intermediate-level quest. To get the highest tier timer introduced with the final batch (the diamond timer), you will need to complete the quest in just under 5 minutes. You will be given base 10 combat stats, level 30 Agility, and a few items to solve this quest. Dragon Slayer 2 Dragon Slayer 2 is the first grandmaster quest that you can speedrun. You’ll get the diamond timer if you complete the quest in under 70 minutes. You will be given various stats, but most importantly, you’ll have base 95 combat stats. You’ll also receive some valuable combat items such as the Abyssal Whip, Dragon Defender, Bandos Chestplate, and 50k OSRS GP. You will also get more valuables in your bank, such as the Armadyl Chainskirt, Armadyl Chestplate, which are worth over 20 mil OSRS gold each, and other essential items most OSRS accounts for sale doing the DS2 quest would typically have access to on their main accounts.
WoW Blacksmithing Guide

Maxing out Blacksmithing is one of the best ways to unlock more recipes for you to make. Players can earn more money by selling all these items to others. Compared to previous expansions, leveling up professions in Dragonflight is much more complicated and expensive, depending on how patient you are in your progression. Blacksmithing can be pricy when trying to reach the max level. You will probably have to spend WoW gold to progress further than 50. However, the investments you made for maxing out Blacksmithing will pay off once you have unlocked every available recipe in the game. This guide will help gamers reach the max rank for this profession. Blacksmithing Overview Blacksmithing is the profession mainly responsible for providing most craftable weapons, armor, and other items. However, they can’t create the latest WoW Tier sets. The interesting about this profession is that you only need to level up the one from the newest expansion. This means you do not need to progress Blacksmithing from previous DLCs. There are four specializations for this trade skill, which allows gamers to focus on one specific path. Here are all the focused expertise for Blacksmithing: Armorsmithing Weaponsmithing Toolsmithing Specialty Smithing You can choose a Specialization after reaching a certain rank in this profession, and you can invest in them after getting enough Knowledge Points, which you gain from leveling up. As a part of your progression, you must be careful about how you use the KP because they are non-refundable once spent. The proper usage of Knowledge Point is vital to how fast and efficiently you will progress in Blacksmithing. Best Profession to Pair with Blacksmithing Like many professions, Blacksmithing has at least one trade skill best paired with Mining. This trade skill provides blacksmiths with the ability to gather their materials. Crafting armor and weapons mainly rely on an ample supply of ores, so having the skill to mine can reduce the amount of gold you must spend. However, you are still expected to use some money because you need other non-mining materials. Blacksmith Leveling 1 to 100 Generally, you want to level up your Blacksmithing to unlock more recipes and gain more Knowledge Points. You can reach 50 by creating the most basic recipes. However, the process becomes more complicated later on because you will need to unlock schematics that can only be obtained through limited ways. For the first 50 levels, you can craft the readily available recipes if you have sufficient materials. It is recommended that you gather extra components so you don’t need to run back and forth between the crafting area and mining nodes. Here is how to level up in Blacksmithing: Level 1 to 4 1 Draconium Blacksmith’s Hammer Requires 2 Draconium Ore, 10 Severite Ore, and 4 Primal Flux Level 4 to 7 Option 1: 1 Explorer’s Plate Bracers Requires 3 Draconium Ore, 8 Severite Ore, and 2 Primal Flux Option 2: Draconium Blacksmith’s Hammer Requires 4 Draconium Ore, 20 Severite Ore, and 8 Primal Flux Level 7 to 10 Option 1: 1 Explorer’s Plate Boots Requires 3 Draconium Ore, 10 Severite Ore, and 2 Primal Flux Option 2: 1 Draconium Pickaxe Requires 2 Draconium Ore, 10 Severite Ore, and 4 Primal Flux Level 10 to 16 Option 1: 2 Explorer’s Plate Chestguard Requires 6 Draconium Ore, 20 Severite Ore, and 4 Primal Flux Option 2: 2 Draconium Sickle Requires 4 Draconium Ore, 29 Severite Ore, and 8 Primal Flux Level 16 to 22 Option 1: 2 Draconium Blacksmith’s Toolbox Requires 6 Draconium Ore, 24 Severite Ore, and 6 Primal Flux Option 2: 2 Draconium Skinning Knife Requires 6 Draconium Ore, 20 Severite Ore, and 8 Primal Flux Level 22 to 25 1 Draconium Leatherworker’s Knife Requires 3 Draconium Ore, 12 Severite Ore, and 4 Primal Flux Level 25 At this level, you have now unlocked the Specializations. Make sure to read around each aspect of specific expertise because you cannot refund the points you use. In addition, these Specs will significantly impact your leveling progress beyond 55, so be careful about how you spend them. You don’t have to choose a Specialization yet if you are unsure. However, having a good idea of what you might want to pursue is highly recommended. Level 25 to 50 This first option is the fastest way to reach level 50. However, obtaining 25 Awakened Earth and Awakened Fire might be a hassle. If you want to go through with this choice, ensure you have enough Awakened materials to finish all 25 Primal Molten Alloy in one go. 25 Primal Molten Alloy Requires 25 Awakened Earth, 25 Awakened Fire, 125 Draconium Ore, 100 Khaz’gorite Ore, and 100 Primal Flux There is another option if you don’t want to craft Primal Motlen Alloys. This path will have you make different items at specific stages. Here is the alternative way to getting to 50: Level 26 to 31 1 Draconium Axe Requires 12 Severite Ore and 6 Draconium Ore 1 Draconium Leatherworker’s Toolset Requires 12 Severite Ore and 6 Draconium Ore Level 31 to 35 1 Draconium Needle Set Requires 10 Severite Ore and 4 Draconium Ore 1 Explorer’s Expert Clasp Requires 1 Severite Ore and 4 Draconium Ore Level 35 to 41 3 Explorer’s Expert Greaves Requires 42 Severite Ore and 21 Draconium Ore Level 40 to 45 1 Draconium Great Axe Requires 20 Severite Ore and 10 Draconium Ore 1 Explorer’s Expert Gauntlets Requires 12 Serevite Ore and 6 Draconium Ore Level 45 to 50 1 Draconium Stiletto Requires 12 Severite Ore and 6 Draconium Ore 1 Explorer’s Expert Spaulders Requires 12 Severite Ore and 6 Draconium Ore Level 50 to 56 1 Draconium Great Mace Requires 20 Severite Ore and 10 Draconium Ore 2 Explorer’s Expert Helm Requires 28 Severite Ore and 14 Draconium Ore Level 50 to 100 Now that you have reached this point, you should finalize your Specialization. You won’t go any further by sticking to the previous recipes you have
