This year’s Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) certainly made its mark, bringing two forthcoming next-gen consoles and a slew of tasty looking games to Los Angeles.
With regards to games that were showcased, it looks like players will be spoilt for choice in the year ahead, as Microsoft, Sony and third party publishers all brought their best. Here though, are our top 5 picks to watch out for in the year ahead.
inFamous: Second Son
After the events of InFamous 2, many wondered what Sucker Punch had in store for its franchise. This PS4 exclusive, inFamous: Second Son, appears to be its answer, with a young brash superhuman, Delsin Rowe taking over from Cole MacGrath. It seems that having superpowers has become a crime, as ‘supers’ are hunted by the oppressive Department of Unified Protection.
Rowe therefore ends up on the run, and in search of others like him. Whereas his predecessor could travel the path of the reluctant hero, Rowe appears to revel in his abilities, wielding smoke and fire to devastating effect with gleeful abandon. Additionally rather than a fictional New Orleans inspired setting, as was the case in inFamous 2, Rowe’s antics will be set in the beautiful Pacific Northwest.
Battlefield 4
Apart from Call of Duty: Ghosts, that other doyen of unrelenting first person shooter action also turned a few heads. With Battlefield 4, developers DICE not only blew us away with new trailers for both its single-player and multiplayer offerings, it also, in a first, announced that the game will accommodate five player squads.
The game will be available on both current gen consoles – the PS3 and Xbox 360 – as well as the Xbox One and PS4. A PC version will also be on offer when the game arrives this November.
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt
Also capturing its fair share of attention was CD Projekt’s third entry in the Witcher series. The role playing game’s world has been expanded, to be some thirty times larger than its predecessor, great news considering the level of detail and obvious care that has gone into creating the previous game’s settings. One such example is the fact that the game boasts its own weather system, which players will need to consider when setting out on quests.
Making a welcome return is Gerald, essentially a magic-wielding assassin for hire, who it seems will have no shortage of impressively fearsome monsters with which to deal. The game will be released on PS4, Xbox One and PC next year.
Watch Dogs
One of the mostly highly anticipated games that we have been waiting, and watching out for, Watch Dogs made a welcome reappearance at this year’s E3. The innovative open-world action game, which is being developed by Ubisoft Montreal, will apparently take place in a cyberpunk future. Players will be able to step into the shoes of Aiden Pearce, who can hack into an alternate Chicago’s central operating system.
The game will apparently blend free-running elements with stealth and third person shooter components, as players take control of technology to meet various objectives. It is slated for released at the end of this year across all platforms.
Super Mario 3D World for Wii U
The Wii U was not without its contenders as well, with the console exclusive Bayonetta 2 marking a major scoop for Nintendo’s latest console, and similarly catching our eye. It was however Super Mario 3D World that really showed Nintendo going back to its roots and doing what it does best. Super Mario 3D World on the Wii U is a four-player Mario platforming game set in a 3D world.
Each of the playable characters – Mario, Luigi, Toad and Princess Peach - will have their own unique strengths. Luigi, for example, can jump higher, Toad has greater speed, while Princess Peach can float. Additionally, a new cat transformation will enable players to scratch enemies and scamper up obstacles as well as the flagpole at the end of levels.
Honourable mentions: Destiny, Quantum Break, Bayonetta 2, The Order: 1886, Thief and The Division.
