One of the most shocking moments of E3 2017 was when Nintendo announced not one, but two Metroid games. Metroid: Samus Returns for the 3DS was quit the surprise, but the even bigger bombshell was the announcement that Metroid Prime 4 is in development for the Nintendo Switch. Despite only showing the game’s logo, Metroid Prime 4 ended up as one of the most-talked about games of
As far as major presenters go, no one has been as open about what it’s bringing to E3 as Ubisoft. Ubisoft has confirmed seven games it will be showcasing at the event this year, with major reveals planned for adventure Games mounts like Assassin’s Creed Odyssey and Tom Clancy’s The Division 2 . Rumors point to a new Splinter Cell game being announced during Ubisoft’s presentation as well, with the stealth action franchise having been dormant for about five ye
As far as E3 2018 press conferences go, Microsoft’s is mostly shrouded in mystery. Some leaks have suggested that Gears of War 5 will be announced at the event, but otherwise, Microsoft has managed to keep its cards close to its chest. Forza Horizon 4 is the only game fans are guaranteed to see at E3, but there’s a possibility some of Microsoft’s biggest franchises, including Halo and Fable , could also make appearances and Crackdown 3 will likely be a part of the s
Speaking of the single-player story, the biggest strength of those heralded stories in previous Fable titles have always been the personal stakes involved in the player character. Fable 2 ‘s journey of revenge across your character’s entire lifetime has one of the best moments in video game storytelling: when you’re shown your character through four stages of his or her life, including not just how your armor changed but how your body did too. Imagine the emotional impact of a similar sequence with the graphical fidelity of the current generation syst
E3 2018 is right around the corner, and it’s set to be one of the most stacked years for the show yet. There are a number of high profile, blockbuster releases already confirmed for the show, and when one combines those with the surprises that are no doubt in store, it’s clear that this year’s E3 is going to be h
Well, not exactly. For starters, none of the three things mentioned made it into the game. Yes, your character did grow up, but via a timeskip rather than over time. You could choose between good and evil, you could get married, you could make your character fat or thin, but it ultimately didn’t mean anything. The ending was still the same and your choices really didn’t change much of anything. All the choices seemed tacked on for gimmick’s sake. Still, Fable has its fans who enjoy it for what it is but it didn’t contain everything Molyneux said it would, and that’s why it makes it onto the l
While Sony’s focus will be on those four titles, the company is also expected to highlight some other games, with Dreams from Media Molecule confirmed for the show. It’s likely that Sony has some surprises up its sleeve as well, so PlayStation enthusiasts should be sure to tune
Then we played it. The love Molyneux spoke of can be seen in the human marriages, relationships, or children made possible in the game, but the one bond all players share is that between their player and their trusty
With all the buzz surrounding Fable 4 online, it is all but assured that Microsoft will have something to announce at E3 in June. Microsoft is expected to have a big showing this year as, saleswise, they lagged far behind Sony in 2017 and this is partly due to their lack of exclusive titles. A big, impressive showing of new games exclusive to Microsoft would make a big impact and such a lineup would have to include Fable
Even if combos were integrated into the combat, the camera would still be a problem. During battle, at random intervals, finishing moves will be in slo-mo and the camera will zoom in on the downed enemy. Not only is this disorientating when surrounded by enemies, but while the camera is zooming the other enemies don’t stop attacking. While battling five wolves, the camera may zoom in to show one being killed, meanwhile the other four wolves are still attacking and draining life. Since the game isn’t difficult this normally won’t result in death, but it’s still poor des
Capcom had a presence at E3, most notably revealing Monster Hunter World , but one of the company’s biggest franchises, Resident Evil , wasn’t given any love at the show. Capcom didn’t pull the curtain back on Resident Evil 7 ‘s Not A Hero DLC as some expected, and it also failed to unveil the Resident Evil 2 remake, a game that fans have been waiting to see for years now. The Resident Evil 2 remake has been in the works for a couple of years, so a trailer or something official seems like it could come any day, even though it skipped E3 this y
Fifteen years later, after being integrated into basically every kind of video game, the concept of a simple morality system has gone out of style. While some games have been experimenting with a more complex system, such as The Witcher 3 ‘s Geralt being an influential but neutral force in the world, it would be a benefit to Fable 4 to have a similarly deep and complex morality system that goes beyond angel wings and ho
