Mirrors Edge 2 officially revealed
Quite possibly the most requested sequel has finally been confirmed along with a stunning trailer. It has been rumoured for the past few weeks that Mirrors Edge 2 was in development and now it's a reality.
Dragon Age: Inquisition Unveiled
Bioware have made no secret of the fact that they've been working on a new Dragon Age game, and the reason for that was tonight revealed. Dragon Age: Inquisition hits all the buzzword tick boxes that a decent RPG should: it's open world, it gives you an awesome amount of power over the story and you'll interact with deep characters (both old and new, we're told). Although the Lord of the Rings vibe is still immense, Inquisition is a title that any Bioware fan will be excited for.
PopCap Announce Plants Vs Zombies: Garden Warfare, Peggle 2
Plants Vs Zombies has become a global phenomenon, and no more proof of that is needed than the support that Popcap are pumping into it this year. Plants Vs Zombies 2: It's About Time is going to give fans of the franchise a fix of a gameplay that just can't be gotten anywhere else, but the newly announced Garden Warfare is something else entirely. A third-person action game, Garden Warfare is like Plants Vs Zombies mixed with Orcs Must Die and again with some class based shooter, Garden Warfare looked far better than you'd ever expect. The textures and design were out of this world.
Battlefield 4 Explodes with Potential, Destruction
Battlefield 3 was a good game. What would have made it a great game? Destructible environments. It was there in small doses, but it felt almost scripted in its limitations. That's not going to be the case in Battlefield 4, as the demonstration game shown at tonight's EA conference proved. We're talking skyscraper falling, foundation shaking destruction, and it's going to change the way we look at online games.
DICE Announce Star Wars Battlefront, Teaser Trailer
I'm sure I'm not the only one that swore out loud when Star Wars Battlefront was announced this evening. EA, not content with merely proving themselves as the new holders of the Star Wars IP, have instead just gone straight for the game we've all wanted since the release of Battlefront 2 in 2005. More than that, it's being built by DICE, a team that knows multiplayer shooters like the backs of their hands.
Killer Instinct for Xbox One
Double Helix Games revealed Killer Instinct 3 at E3 today. The live demostration showed returning characters Jago, Sabrewolf and Glasius fighting it out in stunning HD graphics.
Metal Gear Solid V Coming to Xbox One
Nobody but the biggest Xbox One fanboy would have expected Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain to be the first game to get actual gameplay footage on the Xbox One, and that Hideo Kojima would be there to talk up the system afterwards. It was a huge surprise and a huge screw-you to gamers who had doubted that the Xbox One would be able to pull in the core titles that made the 360 a must-own. The surprise was short-lived, however, as the game itself was absolutely stunning.
Microsoft Releasing New Xbox 360… Today
Love the look of the Xbox One but are bummed out that you'll have to wait until the end of the year until you can get it? Don't worry about it, Microsoft have you covered. From today (or tomorrow/later in the week, presumably, depending on your location), you'll be able to buy a brand new Xbox 360, made in the same design as the Xbox One.
Ryse: Sons of Rome Announced
One of the first exclusives shown at tonights Microsoft E3 Conference was Ryse: Sons of Rome, and although it was very pretty (and although it features some rather nifty SmartGlass support), it was a little underwhelming in the gameplay department. The idea behind it - that you get to feel like a real Roman warriors, a real Roman commander - was sound, and a lot of what was shown supported that, but the combat left a lot to be desired.
Dead Rising 3 for Xbox One announced
The new Dead Rising 3 was revealed at E3 today and with it comes much anticipation. For the first time ever players can now freeroam an open world while fending off hordes of zombies.
