Matt Randisi writes, Everyone loves new ideas and surprises when it comes to E3 announcements. It’s sad that all too often there aren’t many to speak of yet the quality has been somewhat agreeable in the past few years; after all games like Watch Dogs were announced last year and is still one of the most anticipated titles this year. E3 2013 arguably brought the best of both quantity and quality in a very long time; you can thank the fact that we are in the transition to the new generation proper.
While it’s great to see new ideas, some of them tend to fizzle out as time goes on or even upon their release (FUSE anyone?). So let’s take a look at 5 new IPs recently announced that have maintained the hype and potential to remain larger than blips on our radar now and well into the future.
It has been ten years of the franchise and a celebration is planned.
It's been almost 10 years since we first stepped foot in Ubisoft's extraction shooter, The Division and it looks like the developer will celebrate by giving fans a chance to replay the experience in "definitive edition" form.
The Outerhaven writes: While I hold Bethesda's The Evil Within series as some of the best Survival Horror games available, it's clear that Bethesda has no intention of revisiting the series. While Capcom is still working on its Resident Evil series, I look back at the now-dead survival horror series from Bethesda, wondering why the series was left wide open, and yet still not revisited.
An OK horror series left behind. It had some great ideas, but it never knew how to play to its strengths. Instead, it came out like just another RE4 clone.
I would love for a third entry to come out, but it needs to learn to lean in on the psychological aspect and move away from the generic "pew pew" ideology at the center of the gameplay loop. It doesn't need to abandon it; it just needs to put it into better context, is all.
Also, try a first-person perspective instead. Too many 3rd-person games with nothing to offer but an avatar taking precious screen space. At least make it an actual option and not that janky-ass mess the second game pretended to have.
I'm still looking forward to The Division, Watch Dogs, EOS, The Order 1886, Destiny, Killzone SF, Drive Club, Final Fantasy XV, KH3, BF4 and Infamous SS. All of this will be played on my lead gaming platform which is the PS4! I was happy during E3 just for my beloved console.
Destiny looks good as well as The Order 1886, and Halo.
Halo the division and that black tusk studio game.
All good choices, but you know what else will be freaking sweet? Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare.
