Greetings Travelers!!
It’s our favorite time of year, E3!!! For those who don’t know, E3 is the largest video game conference in the world, were each year the major developers get together to show off their future releases. In this post I will highlight the major titles announced this year with my thoughts in 3 sentences or less. Keep checking back as I will update this daily until the end of E3!
Update: So I watched the rest of E3 and there wasn’t to much of note besides the new Smash Bros. So for now I will leave this post as is with more content coming soon and some in depth analysis of several of the games I’m particularly interested once they ahve some more gameplay.
Strange Brigade – Do you like Payday and the Mummy? If so you will enjoy this fun, goofy, coop shooter were you play as a group of explorers fighting through evil magic to get the treasure.
Sports Game 2019 – Like playing the same sports games every year with little to no changes? Great!! This is the obligatory annual release of FIFA, NBA, Madden, and more…
Battlefield V – The latest in the Battlefield franchise, with little promise. Battlefield 1 was a great game, but it failed to impress and hold my attention. This new installment to the series shows little improvement.
Command & Conquer Rivals – Where do all games go to die? Mobile Devices!!!! EA reboots the classic RTS franchise, butchered it and sent it to mobile.
Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order – The latest Star Wars game coming from EA’s Respawn Entertainment, the developers of Titanfall. I have high hopes and expectations for this upcoming single-player game, and I’m sure Respawn will give us a quality game unlike EA.
Anthem – Ever wanted to play an EA version of Destiny? Anthem is shrouded in mystery and show little promise coming from EA and looking like a Destiny clone.
Days Gone – The upcoming zombie survival for PS4 looks interesting, but is not a new concept. I want to see some more comprehensive gameplay before rendering a verdict.
Hitman 2 – The latest Hitman game shows much promise and looks like it will continue where the last Hitman game left off. I have no qualms with this series and this is a great time to start playing the franchise.
Fear the Wolves – Really another battle royale game in a post-apocalyptic Russia. I will be staying far away from this game as it shows nothing we haven’t already seen.
Generation Zero – What the hell did I just watch? Swedes fighting robots in the 80s? So many questions with no answers…
The Walking Dead – This game looks very interesting, almost like Left for Dead, but made by the developers behind Payday. Want to see more, but very interested in the game.
Code Vein – An anime, vampire dark souls game. Watching gameplay looks exactly like Dark Souls with some small differences, definitely be purchasing this game.
Phantom Doctrine – A cold war era strategy game in the spirit of XCOM. This turn-based tactical RTS looks to be a very interesting and fun game I will be purchasing.
Total War 3 Kingdoms – The latest game in the historical RTS franchise from Creative Assembly. I have been a big fan of this series since Empire, but the series has really flat-lined and grown stale since Rome 2.
Halo Infinite – Microsoft has made the right decision, Halo is coming to PC!!!! Otherwise nothing significant was announced or shown about this game.
Sekiro Shadows Die Twice – The latest in the demon souls line from From Software. The trailer shows in a kind of Feudal Japan, with new elements to Dark Souls like a grappling hook and more free roam. I will definitely be investing in this game.
Crackdown 3 – The latest game in the Crackdown series and long over due. Another exciting development is that this will also be coming to PC. Gameplay looks just like Crackdown 2 which should mean this will be a great game.
Metro Exodus – The latest in the Metro series, which looks like I will be bringing more of the same. Looking forward to seeing more gameplay, but so far I am not interested.
Kingdom Hearts 3 – I haven’t played Kingdom Hearts since the first game, and I look forward to returning to the series with this fun and beautiful looking game.
The Division 2 – Probably the worst MMO I have played returns with the much not needed sequel. I had high hopes for the original, but low expectations for the second.
Shadow of the Tomb Raider – The latest edition in the exciting Tomb Raider series. Having played and enjoyed the last two games, I am looking forward to seeing what new content Shadow will bring to the Tomb Raider series.
Dying Light 2 – Another zombie survival game. I thought the first one was bland and repetitive, and I hope this game will breath some life into the title.
Just Cause 4 – Another Just Cause game, no surprise there after the success of the 3rd game. But, the series needs some spice, something to mix up series before it becomes too repetitive.
Gears of War 5 – WHY???? The series rapped up so nicely and the multiplayer was excellent in Gears 3. Please end things before Gears turns into a Call of Duty.
Rage 2 – The original Rage was an interesting and exciting game, and the sequel is long overdue. I look forward to seeing more detailed gameplay and acquiring this game.
DOOM Eternal – No one was surprised to see another Doom, but the series sure as hell is fun. Looking forward to seeing some gameplay in the near future.
Elder Scrolls Online: Summerset – Why are they still developing this game and who is still playing it?? We all wished for an Elder Scrolls MMO and we got this garbage.
Skyrim: Very Special Edition – STOP………RE…..RELEASING…………MORE………..SKYRIM!!!!
Fallout 76 – The newest segment of Fallout bringing into the MMO verse. Fallout 4 wasn’t completely terrible but, ESO was horrible and I hope that 76 doesn’t follow ESO down its dark path of misery.
Starfield – Looks and sounds like Fallout in space which I can’t complain about. Really excited to see gameplay and you might have guessed at BH Interactive we really love space.
Elder Scrolls 6 – About fucking time.
Skull and Bones – Liked sailing a pirate ship in Assassin’s Creed Black Flag? Wanted to play a whole game on a pirate ship? Now you can in this exciting new game from Ubisoft.
Starlink: Battle for Atlas – A new and very interesting concept from Ubisoft. This space dog-fighting game looks like a combination of No Man’s Sky and Elite Dangerous. Definitely a series I will keep my eye on and would like to acquire if it turns out well.
Assassin’s Creed Odyssey – I thoroughly enjoyed Origins, and liked the RPG direction that Ubisoft is taking the series. I’m a little disappointed they returned with a new game so quickly, but am not disappointed by the chosen setting. I look at Odyssey as an expansion to Origins.
Satisfactory – Minecraft meets Space Engineers meets Factorio. What an interesting and exciting looking game. Alpha sign-up are available and I look forward to bringing you content soon!!
Mavericks: Proving Grounds – PLEASE STOP WITH THE BATTLE ROYALE GAMES!!!!!!!
Star Citizen – It’s like waiting for Elder Scrolls 6 to come out, except we can play a small portion of the sci-fi space MMO.
Anno 1800 – I really enjoyed Anno 2070, but not 2205. I hope 1800 returns to what really made Anno the successful city builder/RTS it was in 2070. I have high hopes for this game and definitely want to play it.
Last of Us Part 2 – The exciting sequel to one of the most popular story-driven zombie survival games ever made. I really look forward to playing this game and the original when I acquire a PS4 this fall.
Ghost of Tsushima – Ever since Total War Shogun 2 I have had a deep love for Feudal Japan. This game looks to be extremely, fun and deep with brutal and dynamic combat. Another PS4 exclusive I plan to acquire.
Death Stranding – We all eagerly wait to really figure out what this game is. But coming from Kojima, I have no doubt it is going to be an amazing single-player experience.
Nioh 2 – A Dark Souls-esque game based on Feudal Japan. the first game was a lot of fun, and extremely difficult, I’m sure the second game will love up to the standards set by the first.
Spider-Man – Another exciting exclusive coming to the PS4. I really hope this game turns out great but, so far I am worried as all the action looks like quick time events. Hopefully we will get a better grasp of the game before release.
Keep checking back for more E3 updates and related content all week!! And I look forward to bringing gameplay from many of these titles as they release.
