Not only does it change the setting from a more linear affair to a sprawling open-world, but combat gets a complete overhaul. No longer are battles fought randomly or turn-based.<\/p>\n<p>Now players can see the enemy coming and enjoy action-RPG combat complete with multiple weapon styles and parrying. Enemy AI is also more complex with different faction of enemies able to come into conflict during battles.<\/p>\n<p>Fans of the franchise will already be on the waiting list for this one, but newcomers should also give it a look if they&#8217;re up for something huge in scale, gorgeous to the eye, and innovative in the gameplay department.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"FINAL FANTASY XV \u2013 101 Trailer\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/MZVngEsTNhM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\">Steep<\/h3>\n<p><strong>2 December\u00a02016 (Xbox One, PS4, PC)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s been quite a long time since we\u2019ve had a new extreme sports game, which is unfortunate because it is a niche that has a passionate following. Steep\u00a0fills that void, giving fans\u00a0a number of different activities and challenges in four different disciplines:\u00a0skiing, snowboarding, paragliding, and wingsuit flying.<\/p>\n<p>While the game is open world, players can switch to mountain mode to access \u201cdrop zones\u201d that act as fast travel spots, or cut your own path by traveling around the mountainous terrain to find new challenges.<\/p>\n<p>Steep also focuses on online gameplay with players sharing the same game world and competing in activities at the same time through seamless multiplayer. You can compete in races and challenges against other players or group up with friends to pull off wild stunts.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"STEEP Trailer: 101 Overview in 2 Minutes\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/wm1tF6htUPs?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">More game releases this week<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/features\/75670-games-you-can-play-this-week-contract-killing-and-careless-carnage.html\/attachment\/pc-platform-tag-2#main\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-75676\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-75676\" src=\"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/PC-platform-tag.jpg\" alt=\"PC-platform-tag\" width=\"180\" height=\"40\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Steep<br \/>\nDarksiders: Warmastered Edition<br \/>\nWatch Dogs 2<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/features\/60349-games-launching-this-week-2.html\/attachment\/xbox-one-platform-tag#main\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-60361\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-60361\" src=\"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/Xbox-One-platform-tag.jpg\" alt=\"Xbox One platform tag\" width=\"180\" height=\"40\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Steep<br \/>\nFinal Fantasy XV<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/features\/60349-games-launching-this-week-2.html\/attachment\/ps4-platform-tag#main\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-60358\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-60358\" src=\"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/PS4-platform-tag.jpg\" alt=\"PS4 platform tag\" width=\"180\" height=\"40\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Steep<br \/>\nFinal Fantasy XV<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/features\/60349-games-launching-this-week-2.html\/attachment\/3ds-platform-tag#main\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-60354\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-60354\" src=\"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/3DS-platform-tag.jpg\" alt=\"3DS platform tag\" width=\"180\" height=\"40\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h4><strong>Article\u00a0courtesy of\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.menstuff.co.za\/games\/game-releases-28-november-2016\/\">MenStuff.co.za<\/a>.<\/strong><\/h4>\n<h4><strong>Now read:\u00a0<\/strong><a title=\"Permalink to PSN kicks off Digital Flash Sale\" href=\"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/playstation\/112193-psn-kicks-off-digital-flash-sale.html\" rel=\"bookmark\">PSN kicks off Digital Flash Sale<\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here&#8217;s what games are hitting local stores and online retailers this week.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":196,"featured_media":112221,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3,11681,4],"tags":[3991,409,10293,22407,15739,18463],"class_list":["post-112217","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-pc","category-playstation","category-xbox","tag-darksiders","tag-final-fantasy","tag-final-fantasy-xv","tag-steep","tag-super-mario-maker","tag-watch-dogs-2"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/112217","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/196"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=112217"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/112217\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/112221"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=112217"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=112217"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=112217"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
