E3 Impressions: Watch Dogs 2
With Watch Dogs 2, Ubisoft Montreal is hoping to inject more life into the series. It looks like they were successful for the most part. The sequel to the dismal 2014 open-world hacking game Watch Dogs has ditched the previous open-world sandbox game’s stomping grounds of Chicago, deciding to travel westward to the San Francisco The game’s protagonist is Marcus Holloway, an African-American youth ...[Read More]
E3 Impressions: For Honor
If you’ve ever wanted to pit hordes of vikings, samurai, and knights against each other Deadliest Warrior-style in full-fledged melee combat, For Honor is the game for you. If you love cleaving through dozens of enemies while dozens of other combatants fight around you, For Honor also has you covered. I don’t know how the meeting at Ubisoft Montreal went when brainstorming this hack and slash game...[Read More]
E3 Impressions: South Park: The Fractured But Whole
I thoroughly enjoyed 2014’s South Park: The Stick of Truth. The upcoming follow-up. South Park: The Fractured But Whole, looks like a game I will be thoroughly enjoying upon release. Ubisoft San Francisco and South Park Digital Studios, LLC have teamed up again to deliver this sequel. It’s the day after the events of The Stick of Truth, and the boys of South Park have traded in their fantasy garb ...[Read More]
E3 Impressions: Ghost Recon: Wildlands
Ubisoft gameplay trailers scare me. After Assassin’s Creed: Unity, Watch Dogs, and The Division showed the company’s propensity for exaggerating a game’s visuals and gameplay, I take anything I see in their trailers with a metric ton of salt. I went into their conference with this mindset, and Ubi tested me immediately with the gameplay demo for their first title, Ubisoft Paris’s Ghost Recon: Wild...[Read More]
E3 Impressions: Halo Wars 2
I’ve been a fan of Real-Time Strategy (RTS) games ever since the Warcraft series on PC, so it’s a given that I would try out the original Halo Wars for the Xbox 360. While it was a decent game, it seemed a bit short and lacking depth. I’m hoping the Xbone One sequel, Halo Wars 2, will be an improvement. The one major thing going against this game right from the start is that RTS games are usually ...[Read More]
E3 Impressions: State of Decay 2
More zombies! State of Decay 2 is the follow-up to Undead Labs’ successful 2013 game. The only information for the game comes in the form of a teaser trailer shown during E3. The trailer is entertaining, but it is very short on information. The original State of Decay is a third-person zombie Survival horror sim game. The game puts the player in charge of a group of survivors in a base and tasked ...[Read More]
E3 Impressions: ReCore
For a game being released later this year, ReCore has a dearth of information surrounding it. There is some backstory for the game. Joule Adams wakes up from cryo-sleep and finds herself in Far Eden, a desert world where the survivors of Earth hope to colonize. With all plans having gone in the tank, Joule has to set off to figure out what has gone wrong and what can be done to allow Far Eden to b...[Read More]
E3 Impressions: Sea of Thieves
Why are we sitting here reading this? This is a shared-world pirate adventure game. Win! Break out the rum and celebrate! In all seriousness, Rare’s Sea of Thieves looks like the kind of game that will have people grinning like Cheshire Cat. From its gameplay elements to its presentation, everything seems to scream, “PICK UP AND PLAY ME!!!” It’s been a long time in the making, but it looks as thou...[Read More]
E3 Impressions: Scalebound
PlatinumGames unveiled a new multiplayer gameplay trailer for their upcoming action RPG game, Scalebound. While it doesn’t answer questions about the game’s story and premise, it does have a giant enemy crab. Little is still known about Scalebound. Your character is named Drew, and he rides a dragon named Thuban. Somehow, you are the only hope of the world of Draconis, a world plagued by huge mons...[Read More]
E3 Impressions: Gears of War 4
As the first game in the series since Microsoft acquired it from Epic Studios and handed it to Canadian developer The Coalition, Gears of War 4 was bound to receive a fair amount of scrutiny from series fans. After the gameplay demo shown at E3, I’m not so sure the scrutiny will subside. Gears of War 4 is set 25 years after the events of Gears of War 3. The main protagonist is JD Fenix, son of Mar...[Read More]
E3 Impressions: Dead Rising 4
I’m really getting worn out by the whole zombie thing. I know I can’t be the only one who feels that way. That being said, Dead Rising 4 is one game I can forgive. Yes, it’s about zombies and I’m bored to death of zombies, but at least Dead Rising 4 doesn’t take itself incredibly seriously. The announce trailer on display was testament to that lack of seriousness. We see Frank West, freelance phot...[Read More]
