The ESA isn’t planning to replace E3 2020 with a digital event

The Entertainment Software Association isn’t planning on filling the void left by E3 2020’s cancellation with a comparable digital summer event, and is instead offering up website space to exhibitors interested in hosting digital presentations.

An ESA representative speaking to GameSpot cited disruption from COVID-19 as the reason for the most recent shift in summer plans after saying after the initial cancellation that it was exploring the possibility of hosting an “online experience” in lieu of this year’s traditional show.

“Given the disruption brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic, we will not be presenting an online E3 2020 event in June,” reads a portion of statement. “Instead we will be working with exhibitors to promote and showcase individual company announcements, including on www.E3expo.com, in the coming months.”

A handful of usual E3 participants like Microsoft and Ubisoft immediately announced plans to host digital events and experiences after the show’s cancellation last month, though some like Bethesda have…

Star Trek- Bridge Crew Review

For better and worse, Star Trek: Bridge Crew is exactly what’s advertised–it’s a virtual-reality simulation of operating a Federation starship. For the first few moments, the sheer thrill of taking the Captain’s chair in VR, looking around you to see crew members all working away at their stations, and issuing your first commands is all wonderful and novel. But the second you start yearning for new life, new civilizations, and to boldly go where no one has gone before, you find a game nowhere near that ambitious.

Set in the J.J. Abrams Trek universe, Bridge Crew’s single-player campaign centers around the U.S.S. Aegis–which, after a brief training mission, sets forth on its task to help the Vulcans find a new home. This mission takes the Aegis into a Klingon-controlled territory, the Trench, and into the heart of a potentially ugly interstellar incident. You can fill one of four roles aboard the ship: the Captain issues orders to every other department from the holographic menu built into the player’s chair, the Helm puts you in the driver’s seat, Tactical handles shields and weaponry, and Engineering determines how much power gets shifted to the ship’s vital…

Over 1 Million Lost Ark Bot Accounts Have Been Banned

Amazon Games has banned over 1 million “illegitimate accounts” involved with botting from its newly released MMORPG Lost Ark, the company has announced.
