Sony Interactive Entertainment has announced the July 2018 lineup of free games for PlayStation Plus subscribers. Check Out the PlayStation Plus “Free Games Lineup July 2018” Trailer: PS Blog: Phew! Well, that was one heck of an E3. Not only did we get to show off a whole raft of awesome exclusives, we also kick-started...
Lara's next adventure features a fictional culture that has deep roots in real ancient civilizations, and touts a bigger and more immersive setting with a focus on building out the game's fictional culture to help keep exploration interesting.
The Game Critics Awards have named its best games of E3 2018, and the best of the best was apparently a remake. Resident Evil 2 has taken home Best of Show in the 2018 Game Critics Awards, beating out Anthem, Marvel's Spider-Man, Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. To be fair, "remake" is a pretty reductive ...]
One of the more surprising stories to come out of E3 2018 was the news that CD Projekt Red's heavily anticipated Cyberpunk 2077 will be a first-person RPG, not the third-person RPG that fans of The Witcher series expected.
If you’re a fan of The Witcher 3 this is a departure from the third-person action style you’ve seen and I can understand an initial disappointment but if you’re a fan of RPGs as a whole, there have been plenty of incredible, highly acclaimed first-person RPGs that you probably already enjoy.
Dishonored, Deus Ex, Bioshock are each exceptional examples of how the perspective fits the mechanics of an RPG and immersive sims. This is a storied genre that Cyberpunk 2077 appears to be learning from while providing its own unique innovations.
We still don't know the but we've good reason to suspect it might be .
The developers revealed that the reason for this CD Projekt Red says this change was to and allow players to immerse themselves within the character. Cyberpunk 2077’s rich beauty is definitely one of its most enticing attributes, and being able to see it up close instead of over-the-shoulder will only make the eye-bleeding fidelity that much sweeter.
In tone, Cyberpunk 2077’s nearest neighbour is clearly Deus Ex, specifically for its city base, augmentations and overwhelming corporate oppression.
Update, July 3: Shenmue I & II remasters release next month.
Ahead of the release of Shenmue III, Sega has confirmed the release date for remasters of the first two games in the trilogy. The company had previously stated that the two games would be released as a remaster, but the date was initially leaked by a posting on the Microsoft store.
That listing on the Microsoft store stated that the two games (which appear to be relatively simple ports of the original releases) will be available from Tuesday, August 21 in Europe (August 20 in America). The listing also states that the games will be bundled together for a release price of $29.99. That's been confirmed now with a launch trailer, which you can watch at the bottom of this article.
Check out our list for some great .
Shenmue I & II tells the story of Ryo and his attempt to avenge his father, who was killed by of a man named Lan Di. You’ll have access to the first two games in the trilogy, but with an updated UI, a choice of modern or classic controls, and the ability to scale your resolution. For the first time, Japanese audio will also be available.
Hopefully there’ll be enough in those first two games to keep you busy until the . That game, which was first announced at E3 2015, has already been delayed twice - once into the second half of 2018, and then into 2019.
Red Bull Games Australia takes an in-depth look at Beyond Good and Evil 2 from a behind closed doors session at this year's E3 and throws in some comparison to another major space title full of similar ambition in Star Citizen and writes:
"Theres an impressive video that was released a while ago showcasing the true geometry and real-time finesse required to understand, and master, Star Citizen, of a planetside entry, ship-landing and then third-person exit into a fully populated interior. And theres no question this was an impressive display of raw design and technology. But the content we saw behind closed doors at this years E3 for Beyond Good and Evil 2 easily trumped that. Largely because Beyond Good and Evil 2 isnt taking its space-faring overly seriously. Theirs is an action-RPG sci-fi future where rules can be written on-the-fly to accommodate artistic vision and fun gameplay..."
Neil writes: "E3 is over but the next big show is just around the corner. For many, that will be Gamescom and today Bandai Namco have detailed their full 2018 line-up. It looks pretty damn tasty too."
Assassin’s Creed Odyssey is looking like even less of an Assassin’s Creed game than last year’s Origins, which was already a marked departure from the franchise formula, imbuing the series with trendy RPG elements.
Odyssey is set prior to the founding of the Assassin Order, and while in the lore there is a little evidence of early assassins getting up to no good, it looks like the character you choose won’t wear the hood or have a hidden blade, instead carrying the Spear of Leonidas, a Piece of Eden with as-of-yet unconfirmed powers.
If all this is indicative of anything, it’s that Assassin’s Creed is now more focused on historical storytelling than sticking to its own tried and tested formula. The E3 showcase boasted vignettes of gorgeous Greek architecture, nuanced action-RPG combat, and huge battles with multiple enemies, a far cry from the quiet subterfuge of the original game.
We already know and it's looking like it will join our list .
What excited me most about Odyssey was that Ubisoft has shifted its focus to creating a lived-in historical slice, rather than trying to shoehorn the (let’s be honest) totally wild and contrived story of Abstergo into a period that doesn’t need any extra flavour to be interesting. Ancient Greece laid the foundation for our modern societal values with its progressive approach to sexuality and iconic philosophy and mythology.
Whether it’s tragedy or comedy, we cannot escape the legacy of its influence on the stories we consume and share with one another even today. Choosing to focus on recreating that is a brilliant pivot, as Ubisoft’s previous approach only worked to undermine what they’re best at.
Revolutionary America was an instantly compelling setting, but Assassin’s Creed III was ultimately dragged down by the need to connect everything to Desmond Miles and the First Civilization.
Doom Eternal was revealed at E3 this year, and it’s the ultimate compliment to the 2016 reboot - a proper sequel. It features more beefy demons in the style of the first game, and from the sounds of it, another exquisite industrial metal soundtrack courtesy of id Software’s resident composer Mick Gordon.
Doom 2016’s creative director Marty Stratton has handed over the reins to the studio’s art director, Hugo Martin - so expect the most beautiful gore you’ve ever seen in your history of PC gaming. This time we’re going to Earth, but not as we know it. Id has twisted the planet into a delightful hellscape, which makes clear the demons have escaped Mars and found a new home with us.
The last Doom is aleady on our list of on PC, will Eternal make the cut?
While id Software unveiled Doom Eternal’s first trailer at E3, it failed to mention much else about it - other than the fact there will be plenty of new features. That won’t be down to a missing paragraph on the autocue - id Software is planning to debut the game properly on its home turf, at QuakeCon in Dallas this August.
Until then, there’s still plenty to chew on. Join us for a speculative dive into the nightmarish world of Doom Eternal.
