E3 2015 Review.

E3 has come and gone and would not be seen for another year. E3 2015 was absolutely epic and surprising to say the least, with every press conference having you re-think your budget and expenditure for the next year. 

Microsoft kicked of the show with their amazing new games (Recore, Forza 6), new features (Backwards compatibility with the Xbox 360) and new first-party titles (Halo 5), Electronic Arts and Ubisoft continued the trend and then Sony put a bang at the end of the first day in their conference with a new gameplay of +Uncharted 4: A Thief's End and their reveal of the long awaited The Last Guardian. Lets not forget Bethesda's breathtaking conference revealing Fallout 4 and more on Doom 4 as well, Nintendo and Square Enix.


A lot of games were revealed as well as revisited but a quick look at a few of the most anticipated games of the next few months, without regard to console exclusivity or ascending or descending order.





Dishonored II. - Spring 2016

The sequel to amazing Arkane Studios video game, Dishonored. Dunwall is in great danger again and there are assassins to put this right, for the first time you'll be able to choose between Emily Kaldwin (who was a young girl in the first game) and Corvo (the main character in the first game), taking place 15 years after. 

Hitman. - 8th December 2015
Agent 47 is in his prime and will be eliminating more high class targets in different locations. Hitman, as it is just named, will continue the adventure from Hitman: Absolution. There will be event-type missions (miss a target and lose them forever), no DLC's and Playstation early access to the Beta.

Rise of the Tomb Raider. - 10th November 2015

Definitely a blow as many heard this beautiful game will be an +Xbox One exclusive. Lara Croft will continue to scratch that itch for unanswered questions and greatness. Crystal Dynamics have done a good job in Tomb Raider and Rise of the Tomb Raider looks no different.

Fallout 4. - 10th November 2015

Throwing a lot of people out of balance for days was +Bethesda Softworks, in their first E3 showcase and then going uphill with every reveal. Fallout 4 had many people awestruck from the trailer and eventually the features of the game, from being probably the biggest open world game ever, new crafting features and an adorable k9 companion (which doesn't die).

Star Wars: Battlefront. - 17th November 2015

Taking place on Hoth(the E3 trailer), Star Wars Battlefront captures what an ideal +Star Wars game would be and feel like with AT-AT's, Tie Fighters and Jedi-Sith battles. There are other locations like Tatootine (has been revealed apart from Hoth).



Need for Speed. - 3rd November 2015

The reboot of the Need For Speed franchise, probably the most ambitious yet "From the customisation of Underground to the world of Carbon, from the narative style of Most Wanted to the innovation and vision of Rivals." (EA) Taking its depth from +Need for Speed Rivals it is boasting new features (Speed, Style, Build, Crew, Outlaw)

Mass Effect: Andromeda. - Holiday 2016

Revealed with the least details and Bioware claiming that they'd release more info along the line, all but confirming a Holiday 2016 release, no intention to remaster the previous trilogy and stating “You’ll be exploring an all-new galaxy, Andromeda, and piloting the new and improved Mako you saw, and through it all, you will have a new team of adventurers to work with, learn from, fight alongside of, and fall in love with.” (EA).

South Park: The Fractured but Whole. - TBA

Despite Trey Parker and Matt Stone swearing that they wont make another video game, a sequel to South Park: The Stick of Truth has already surfaced; South Park: The Fractured But Whole will continue the hilarious story.

Assassin's Creed: Syndicate. - 23rd October 2015
The game that Assassin's Creed fans have been aching for, set in Victorian London, 1868, during the Industrial Revolution. Two assassins, Jacob and Evey Frye seek to restore balance to an unfair and decaying economy of England.

Horizon: Zero Dawn. - TBA

This was probably the game of E3 2015, +Guerrilla Games decided to risk it all launching a new IP, an unnamed read-head taking the lead in a story of a desolate world as well as the future, overrun with mechanical dinosaur-esque creatures.

Uncharted 4: A Thief's End. - Spring 2016

Nathan Drake is back again, one last time, in the search of lost treasures with his friends and his brother, Sam (voiced by Troy Baker). There isn't much on the plot to hold onto but the gameplay videos that have been shown are absolutely breathtaking. After being delayed for a spring-window 2016, +Naughty Dog have provided an opportunity for us to catch up with the Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection coming 10th September 20015.
