Square Enix and Platinum Games are teaming up again for another action title. Called Babylon’s Fall , we were given a very Nier -esque trailer that didn’t reveal much about plot details. It does look exciting, though. You can check out our full coverage he
Like with some other games on the list, Beyond Good and Evil 2 had a much better showing behind closed doors. The demo we saw offered a vision and an ambition that mixed the freedom of exploration of No Man’s Sky with the potential for deep RPG mechanics and storytelling. The former is still being worked on, but the ability to travel between planets and reach massive open world cities was easily one of the more impressive things we saw during E3 2018. If Ubisoft can pull it off, Beyond Good and Evil 2 will make fans forget that this isn’t really the sequel (or prequel in this case) that they were looking
What fans do know about Ghost of Tsushima is exciting, though. The gameplay that’s been demonstrated looks compelling, a mixture between tense stealth and gorgeous combat, and it’s made even more interesting by the fact that Sucker Punch is working with real samurai to help develop Ghost of Tsushima and make it as authentic as possible. According to Sony boss Shuhei Yoshida, Ghost of Tsushima’s graphics are also so good that even he was impressed when he got to check out the game this summer – a comment that not only got consumers excited, but led to speculation that the game might actually release sometime in 2
It may not have had the clout of a Halo or Gears but Ori and the Blind Forest still stands as one of the best Microsoft exclusives of this generation. And its follow-up, Ori and the Will of the Wisps , looks to take things to the next level with refined platforming, better combat, and (if that’s even possible) even better-looking visuals. Although the devs at Moon Studios could have easily copied and pasted the formula from Ori 1 onto Ori 2 and called it a day, they are looking to make Will of the Wisps one of the best platformers ever made. Based on what we played, Ori and the Will of the Wisps plays and looks better than its predecessor and it still has a lot of that same ma
At any rate, there were some pretty good announcements made during this short stream. We got confirmation of a few rumors ( Resident Evil 3 , Untitled Goose Game , Kingdom Hearts 3 Re:Mind ), a short look at Platinum’s next title, and even a tease for Ghost of Tsushima . The Game Awards can’t get here soon eno
Developers id Software and Avalanche Studios have put together a playground of carnage for Rage 2 . Where the first game was a showpiece for id Tech, this sequel is all about giving players a handful of tools (both cool weapons and abilities) and letting them loose. The game is fast-paced and violent in a way that doesn’t feel celebratory but is exciting enough to make the loop feel satisfying. Much like Doom before it, Rage 2 looks to take the existing framework and dial everything up to
Perhaps Sony wasn’t thinking with its wallet in mind, but the release did set a precedent for the future. Games released towards the end of a console’s lifecycle now had the potential to show up in enhanced form on that console’s successor. Rockstar Games even seemed to take this lesson to heart by releasing Grand Theft Auto V roughly a year after its last-generation debut for both PS4 and Xbox
After an extensive gameplay demo during last year’s Ubisoft E3 briefing, there was a sense of momentum building towards this year’s showing that the multiplayer piracy title would get plenty of new information and footage as it prepared for launch later this year. That was, until last month, when Skull and Bones received its second delay in as many years and the French publisher confirmed that they would not be bringing the title to E3 this year to allow the team to continue working hard on the project.
To figure that out, we only need go to website look to the recent past. When the PS4 launched in 2013 , Sony made a pretty big push to get original titles on it. This was mixed in with a helping of some cross-generation releases (such as Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag and Call of Duty: Ghosts ) that gave users a clear reason to ditch their PS3’s for Sony’s hot new box. Why spend $60 on a version of the game that looked and ran worse than its PS4 counterp
Spellbreak is a new battle royale title developed by Proletariat, a company made up of video game industry veterans. It looks to mix spellcraft with basic first-person combat. A closed beta will be happening next year on PS4. You can check out TheGamer’s full coverage for more informat
Development of Ghost of Tsushima is apparently going smoothly at Sucker Punch, despite the delays. There’s said to be a significant amount of work going into the technical side of the game. The rumor doesn’t make clear whether the technical upgrades came prior to Ghost of Tsushima being made into a PS5 title or as a result of being shifted to be a PS5 title. Considering how impressive Infamous: Second Son looked on PS4, expect Ghost of Tsushima to impress on P
