The Electronic Entertainment Expo, commonly known as E3 is a big convention for gaming announcements. Many of the major developers host panels about their new and upcoming games. It would be impossible to cover everything. But, as the king of video games I have to cover something. So, I'm going to be writing about the top 5 games that stood out to me and that I'm excited for.
Star Wars Jedi: Fallen order:
For the new Star Wars game from Respawn and EA, about 15 minutes of gameplay was shown. They show Cal on a mission for Saw Gerrera on Kashyyk. The gameplay has cool wall jumps and climbs and a fun combat system with force powers, blaster deflection, and slowing weapons down. There were lots of Kashyyk creatures including flame beetles, wookiees, and giant enemy spiders. Some other characters in the game are K-X series droids like K-2SO from Rogue One and the host of the panel wants Watto in the game and so do I. At the Microsoft conference they showed a new trailer. Links below. It shows that AT-AT's are going to be in the game and pilotable and reveals how Saw met Cal on an AT-AT. I think Cal looks really powerful from what we've seen, they could have him a bit nerfed at the beginning though, as he is a padawan. So far what we've seen from Fallen Order is very cinematic and graphically epic, it looks like a fun and amazing game. Fallen Order releases November 15th of this year.
Cyberpunk 2077:
For Cyberpunk 2077 from CD Projekt Red, a new cinematic trailer shows a robbery, a fight scene and reveals you can change character design through in game choices. Last but not least they showed that Keanu Reeves will have a character in the game and everyone freaked out about it. He is the front man of the samurai band from the original role playing game, Cyberpunk 2020, and they said that extremely bad things happened to him in 2020. Speaking of 2020 the release date is 4.16.2020. It's ironic that a game based on Cyberpunk 2020, is coming out in 2020 lol.
Battletoads:
For this one it was just a little gameplay teaser but it showed some great beat-em up side-scrolling action and racing. The game also had some nice graphics and animation. now we can actually call GameStop and Rick Harrison's pawn shop to ask for Battletoads. The main point is that the Battletoads are back! There's no release date for this game yet, but last E3, they said that it is coming in 2019.
Halo Infinite:
Microsoft showed a new story trailer for Halo Infinite. It starts out with backstory on a seemingly random guy in a spaceship separated from his family and around the broken Halo ring. Something hits his ship and he finds master chief floating in space. Master Chief wakes up and the guy tells him that humanity lost everything and then Master Chief goes off to battle. Halo Infinite launches with the next generation Xbox console, Project Scarlet in the holiday season of 2020.
Avengers:
The upcoming Avengers game from Square Enix dropped a new cinematic trailer. In which the Avengers set up a new base with Terrigen technology that gets stolen by Taskmaster and causes explosions. Captain America "dies" trying to stop it and the Avengers disband. It's interesting that they chose Terrigen technology and Cap "dies" right by it in an explosion. Leads me to believe that they're probably bringing in Inhumans somehow. It picks up 5 years later with a new threat. The team is Iron Man, Black Widow, The Hulk, Captain America, and Thor. Hank Pym aka Ant-man is also revealed for the game at the very end The release date is far out on 5.15.20.
That's all I've got for you today, see you soon and stay connected.
