One of the most unique yet bizarre trailers of the year was Kojima Productions’ Death Stranding Reveal Trailer at E3 2016. The unsettling trailer opens with a quote from poet and author William Blake about holding infinity in the palm your hands. From there, viewers are treated to a cryptic sequence involving Walking Dead actor Norman Reedus and an infant ch
Another cool feature is that of photograph locations throughout the map that when touched display a viewpoint from the original Xbox game. This is quite nifty as it allows you to match up with your television and see exactly what has been improved for the Anniversary edition. It’s also said that backgrounds for key players have been written and are viewable upon meeting them, but I was unable to find how to access these. A title update will be supposedly be released on launch day, so perhaps they will become easier to find then. The only real negative of the experience is that it doesn’t show the NPCs that can be interacted with on the map. Unfortunately, this makes it so you can’t rely solely on your tablet/smartphone, which is a bit of a bummer.
There have already been two movies based on the Silent Hill games – one of them pretty good, the other pretty terrible. These games were based on the first Silent Hill game and Silent Hill 3 , which deal with the town’s strange cult and the little girl who becomes a vessel for their god. Silent Hill 2 , however, is about a man called James Sunderland who comes to Silent Hill after his wife sends a letter inviting him to the town. He finds this pretty disturbing, since his wife has been dead for three years. It’s a great set-up for a game full of mystery, psychological horror and creepy monsters – all of which could transfer very well to the big scr
These 10 games and many others are sure to make E3 2017 a can’t-miss event for gamers. And while the games on this list are highly likely to be at E3 in some capacity, it’s worth noting that the show is usually filled with surprises as well, meaning that the most exciting game at E3 might not even be announced
Whatever happened to Fable ? Despite being one of the highest profile, exclusive franchises on the Xbox, after the release of Fable 3 , Microsoft didn’t seem to know what to do with the franchise. With a nearly-forgotten experiment with the Kinect, Fable: Journeys , and some Xbox Live Arcade games based on the minigames in the franchise, there hasn’t been a commitment to a mainline Fable game in nearly a decade. With the recent closure of Fable developer Lionhead Games, one of the dearly departed studios from the late-period PC market of the 90s and made up of many castoffs from Theme Hospital and Dungeon Keeper Bullfrog, and the even more recent cancellation of the multiplayer-focused Fable: Legends , there seemed to be no hope for a new installment in what was once the most exciting RPG franchise e
There’s something odd about an HD port built for a console which itself has games that are being ported to a superior console. Let’s reflect on Fable Anniversary for a second: it’s a 2014 Xbox 360 remake of an Xbox game from 2004. We’re in an age where people are demanding for spectacular looking games like Grand Theft Auto V and The Last of Us to be ported to Xbox One and PS4, and this is an Xbox 360 port of an original Xbox game. As such, judging it is fairly hard to do after spending countless hours over the past few months scrutinizing next-gen ports like Tomb Raider, Madden 25 and Call of Duty: Ghosts, when Fable Anniversary would be a resounding success if it matched the 360 quality of any of them. Still, while a remake of Fable might have been better suited for release before Fable II or as a three-pack with its sequels on Xbox One before Fable IV (please?), the sheer fact that Lionhead and Microsoft care to do it at all is great fan service for players who have had to deal with an antiquated game — classic as it may be.
The next big thing for Nintendo is it’s upcoming console-handheld hybrid device. The Nintendo Switch will allow gamers to play in the comfort of their home, or take their gaming with them wherever they go. While there’s still a lot left to be revealed about the Switch, with more details to be released in January , the trailer easily built initial excitement for the Swit
There’s already an enormous ad for the game in Los Angeles , so while Sony hasn’t formally announced that it will be at the show, E3 attendees should be able to count on seeing more of Kratos’ next Adventure Games Patch Notes come Mon
Following a big gameplay reveal in May, Destiny 2 is sure to have a major presence at this year’s E3 event. Activision and Bungie have already revealed plenty about the upcoming RPG/shooter hybrid, but there’s still a lot left for fans to discover. Those that want to see more of Destiny 2 in action should be sure to tune in to Sony’s press conference, as Destiny has had a consistent presence at Sony’s portion of the show over the last few ye
