For me E3 has always been about what games are going to
be coming out within the next year or two, yes there is the odd year or two
were we see a new console but without the games a console would never be sold.
Before I get into what games I am looking forward to
this year there is one thing that I just couldn’t quite understand and that was
why Sony decided to show of Assassins Creed 4 in their main press conference when
Ubisoft showed it off a few hours ago. I know that Microsoft did the same thing
with Battlefield 4 but one of the biggest differences there was the fact that
in the EA press conference they went into more detail about the game. I should
also point out that I don’t play modern shooters
Enough about that lets get into what games I am looking
forward to. I should mention that these games do not come in any order but
these are games that have sparked my interested and will a one point picking them
up.
First up we have Plants Vs Zombies: Garden Warfare, I have
been a massive fan of the Plants Vs Zombies games ever since I discovered the original
game in my local Apple store. From what I have seen from the EA’s press conferences
about this game and the information that has been released since then has made
me believe that this is going to comical game that is going to poke fun at modern
day shooters plus it just looks different to everything else that has been released
so far.
All thought not much information has been sent out about
Quantum Break from what I have seen thus far and what from what I have read it
sounds like something the Fringe writes created. For those that don’t know
Fringe was a television show that was created by JJ Abrams, Alex Kurtzman and Roberto
Orci. If this game turns out to be like Fringe then they could be the possibility
that I may pick this game up.
For most of the Sony’s press conference there wasn’t
anything that I really wanted to play until I saw the trailer for The Order:
1866. The main reason that this game caught my attention was the fact that it
was going to be set in an alternate 1800 London and that it was going to be set
in the Steampunk genre. Now I have only just gotten into Steampunk and from
what I have seen from this genre so far I have really liked and if The Order:
1866 can live up to what I have seen thus far of Steampunk genre then this game
alone could be the reason that I buy a PS4.
When it comes to talking about the next few games which
come from Nintendo you might think that I am going to contradict what I said in
last week’s blog but I still stand by the fact that Nintendo did play it way to
save when it came to talking about games this year but that still doesn’t mean
that they don’t have some good games coming out this year. The first game up is
Mario Kart 8, to me the trailer that was on Nintendo Direct didn’t really show
anything new apart from the anti-gravity sections of track which looks like it
was borrow from the F-Zero franchise. I can only hope that with the news that
F-Zero may not be coming to a Nintendo console for some time, Mario Kart 8 can
bring some of the best parts from the F-Zero franchise over to Mario Kart.
The next game from Nintendo that I the look of is Donkey
Kong Country: Tropical Freeze, in my last blog I talked about how much the game
looks like the last Donkey Kong Country game that Retro Studios had created but
after spending the rest of last week looking at the game more closely I can see
that Retro Studios have done more than just release the same game. They have
spoken about the return of Dixie Kong and the inclusion of one more character
that has yet to be revealed. The big differences between this Donkey Kong
Country games and the last one is the fact that they have done more with the camera
so that let looks like you are going round a 3D world instead of just going
left to right and it also now has water levels that were missing from the last
Donkey Kong Country game.
The last game that spiked my interest was Project Spark
for the Xbox One, the main reason for this is because it will allow you to do
whatever you want when you want with your friends also helping you or hindering
you. It’s like Scribblenauts but without the writing.
That brings me to the end of this week’s blog, if you
were following E3 like myself let me know what games you are looking forward
to.
Until Next Time.
