Microsoft @ e3
The gaming giant is expected to double down on its big franchises this year. Major announcement are anticipated for Halo 6, Gears of War and Forza Horizon. They may also give us some crack…down 3. Crackdown 3. Also expect an awkward VR segment were it doesn’t work properly.
Sony @ e3
Sny may have already won e3 2018 by virtue of Last of Us 2 rumors. Expect the games we already know to feature heavily, Spiderman and Days Gone for example. And we may yet learn just what the heck Shadows Die Twice is. Also expect an awkward VR segment were it doesn’t work properly.
Nintendo @ e3
Pokemon, Super Smash Bros, Metroid, some kind of Mario announcement. Im just listing Nintendo games here, could well be there their lineup for e3. Could be their lineup every year. Its worked for them thus far anyway.
PC @ e3
EAs shared world shooter Anthem will feature big for PC, as will The Division 2. We also should expect better versions of most of the major console titles. Cos ye know, PCMR.
This week’s big games shout
The biggest titles to hit headlines this week, in order so you may see them.
- Fallout 76
A new Fallout game is always welcome. Details are few for this one, but Bethesda will no doubt feature this heavily at their e3 conference. The trailer gives nothing away, but industry experts maintain a survival RPG or management sim will be the shift of focus for this new title.
- Assassins Creed: Oddysey
An Assassins Creed game set in ancient Sparta. Spartans were known as straight up bad-ass warriors. They held no fear and never backed down from a scrap, fighting in unison within a phalanx to grind down an enemy armies front lines. Assassins are sneaky loners who operate in the shadows. Not sure how these two will marry together, but we’ll get a look at e3 no doubt.
- For Honor
The sub-par release has not stopped this online stab em up from very slowly gathering a following. Continuous updates from Ubisoft have seen this game improve over time, and it now stands as a well-rounded action MMO. This week saw the release of the Past, Present, and Future trailer. Have a gander there. You know you want to.
- Warhammer
Chaosbane and 40000 Inquisitor Martyr both have news this week. Chaosbane was announced as the first Action RPG set in the Warhammer fantasy universe, being dubbed as Diablo-like. 40k Inqisitor Martyr meanwhile, got a new trailer. 40k Inquisitor Martyr is also an action RPG, though obviously set in the 40k universe. Inquisitor Martyr will release on June 5th on PC, and July 5th for PS4 and Xbox One.
