Another game to watch for during Sony’s press conference is the God of War soft reboot. While it doesn’t abandon the events that came before it, the new God of War is taking Kratos in a much different direction, giving him a wider range of emotions and adding his son to the mix. The game is also trading Greek mythology for Norse mythology, which should allow for fresh enemy types and new weapons for players to mas
One of the big surprises at last year’s E3 was the reveal of a brand new IP called Days Gone from Sony Bend, the studio behind the Syphon Filter franchise. Days Gone is a third-person open world game where the world has been ravaged by terrifying hordes of fast-moving, zombie-like creatures. With seemingly thousands of zombies on-screen at one time, Days Gone looks to be an impressive technical achievement, and PS4 owners should be excited to see more of what the game has to offer come Sony’s press conference at
Choosing to be good or evil was usually straightforward. Several of the main quests had an optional way to end them depending on the outcome, typically spare the foe for good points and kill them for evil. There were a couple quests where there were two available quests but they were the same event, the choice was just to determine what side the player was on which actually was a cool way of making it feel like you were choosing a side. A more fun way to rack up the evil points was to just go on a Grand Theft Auto style rampage in town and kill a bunch of guards and civilians, but again no killing children since they take away your weapons in the towns with kids. This can actually cause some problems, since you may want to go to town but end up having a massive bounty in several towns that doesn’t expire for a few days.
Peter Jackson’s take on The Hobbit didn’t quite live up to the standards set by the Lord of the Rings trilogy, but an adaptation of Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor could be a great addition to the movie canon. The game takes place after the events of The Hobbit but before The Lord of the Rings , and focuses on a Ranger called Talion, who is killed by Sauron’s forces but is saved when a wraith merges with his body, turning Talion into an undead warrior with some very unique abilities. Enraged by the slaughter of his family, Talion proceeds to single-handedly wreak havoc on Sauron’s army of Orcs, playing an unsung role in preventing the fall of Middle-ea
There’s already an enormous ad for the game in Los Angeles , so while Sony hasn’t formally announced that it will be at the show, E3 attendees should be able to count on seeing more of Kratos’ next Adventure games News come Mon
At this point, gamers should expect nothing less than the bewildering and disconcerting trailer from Hideo Kojima. While the developer’s past titles can get a ways out there, there’s no arguing with the fact that his games are highly acclaimed and provide incredible storylines and experiences for players. With this as an opener, there’s plenty of hype already building around Kojima Productions’ first game away from Kon
E3 is always one of the most exciting times of the year for gamers, and E3 2017 should be no exception. Kicking off this Saturday, June 10th with EA’s press conference, the show will run until June 15th, with plenty of high profile games sure to be given the spotlight over the course of the w
Fight Like Hell perfectly captures the fast-paced, over-the-top gruesome and explosive action in DOOM . Those who have played the title know there’s little time to rest between each encounter with terrifying and powerful enemies. While many gamers were preparing for upcoming shooters Battlefield 1 , Titanfall 2 , and Call of Duty: infinite Warfare , the Fight Like Hell trailer put DOOM on the map for many first-person shooter f
We don’t have much official information on 2017’s Assassin’s Creed game, except for the fact that it exists and is due for release later this year. It appears as though Ubisoft is keeping the game under wraps for a big reveal at E3, but some leaks have suggested that its full title will be Assassin’s Creed Origins , it will take place in Egypt, and its protagonist will be named Ba Yek . Other rumors have teased that the game will abandon both multiplayer and naval combat, suggesting that this year’s Assassin’s Creed may signal a return to the franchise’s ro
Following a big gameplay reveal in May, Destiny 2 is sure to have a major presence at this year’s E3 event. Activision and Bungie have already revealed plenty about the upcoming RPG/shooter hybrid, but there’s still a lot left for fans to discover. Those that want to see more of Destiny 2 in action should be sure to tune in to Sony’s press conference, as Destiny has had a consistent presence at Sony’s portion of the show over the last few ye
If there ever was a game designer that should not talk about his games prior to their release date, it’s Peter Molyneux. When discussing his projects, Molyneux has a childlike sense of excitement where he will enthusiastically share details on his grand ambitions for the title. This is actually quite refreshing in itself, because who doesn’t enjoy hearing someone passionately discuss their creative projects? The problem with this occurs when the game in question is actually released. The game itself could be good, even great if it were simply judged for what it is, but disappointment is going to happen when a title fails to deliver on lofty promises no matter how good it may otherwise. The most memorable example of Molyneux creating hype that the game couldn’t live up to was 2004’s Xbox exclusive action RPG Fable.
