All the most important and interesting about E3 2016
If the rest of the companies made conferences from their E3 conferences, then Sony made a show. With an orchestra playing along with each video, with long gameplay trailers instead of speeches about the sacred mission of the company and generally with announcements, which they say for themselves.
However, to all this, there is still something to add.
► Record of broadcasting with the comments of "Gambling".
Ten minutes of new God of War
Sony presentation began with a ten -minute video from the new God of War – without numbers and subtitles, which is probably temporarily temporarily. The authors of previous parts are engaged in the development – Sony Santa Monica Studio. Shots of the gameplay were shown in the debut video: the aged Kratos, together with his son, hunts for a deer. Then the heroes are faced with enemies, which allows the developers to demonstrate an updated combat system.
The release date of the new God of War is not yet known. The game will be exclusive for PS4.
Artemy Kozlov: Kratos killed all the Greek gods and now, it seems, decided to settle down and settle next to the Scandinavian. I wonder why?
It's funny that the new God of War is more like The Last of US and the Last Tomb Raider than God of War. The measured pace is more likely to leisurely walks and look at the surroundings than to a fierce half -thoracic mess, characteristic of Kratos in Greece. But Kratos itself is not like the previous clot of rage, but to a wise old man with a heavy load on the soul. The fact that Sony was so easily thrown out the former (very wilted) concept to find something new, very intriguing.
There are many entertaining trifles in the trailer, which I want to figure out. In a battle with a giant, the main character activates “Spartan rage” – that is, regardless of moving to the Vikings, Kratos is faithful to the roots. Moreover, it turns out that no one in these lands, except his son, understands the language in which the hero speaks.
And by the way, what these marks on the screen mean, in the spirit of "+50 to the ability to shoot"? It looks like we are “pumping” the son of Kratos. For what? Sony has already confirmed that we will only go through the new God of War for Kratos, so the opportunity to prepare a guy for a visor is noted … or not? In any case, now the son is a kind of partner in the cooperative, and he can be given instructions with a separate button.
A game about Spider-Man from the authors of Sunset Overdrive and Ratchet & Clank
Insomniac studio makes a new project about a “friendly neighbor”, so far called simply Spider-Man. The game is developed for PS4 and is not related to the prepared restarting movie series. “Our Peter Parker will be more experienced and will be able to masterfully deal with New York criminals. Along the way, he tries to find a middle ground between his personal life and a career with all his might, ”the developers said.
The authors do not report when the game is released.
Sergey Matveev: Hello again, Peter. The fact that the new game is not connected with the film is hard to believe (in any case, the same lenses are in place). Most likely, it will not be interpreted plot, but the universe will be the same, and all sorts of references stumble on every corner. But so far it has been written by a pitchfork on the water.
What we saw in the trailer? Firstly, the city opened its doors for the spider, and the action takes place not only on the streets of New York, but also indoors: we see how Spider-Man runs through the cafe and gets out through the window. Let's hope that this is really a working location, and not just a quick transition from one street to another, as in Assassin’s Creed. If the guesses are true, it is logical to assume that they can be visited not only in a red-blue suit, but also in the everyday clothes of Peter Parker. In addition, the developers have already emphasized that Parker will rush between personal life and heroism.
Secondly, they did not show a single canonical villain: Spider spent his web on ordinary mafiosi in masks. But every game about Spider-Man offered to fight at least two or three famous villains. The tradition is unlikely to be violated, so we will leave it until the next trailers.
Oh yes, a new outfit … Spider-man has a new costume design. Although there are still people who do not spit? All the same, there will be a package with a set of classic ticos.
Lego game on the seventh episode of "Star Wars"
Warner Bros. And the Traveller’s Tales studio introduced a new trailer Lego Star Wars: The Force Awakens , adventure action based on the seventh episode. In the style of a plastic designer, the developers reproduced many scenes of the film. It turned out even funny in places.
The plot of the new LEGO game will complement the events of the seventh episode "Star Wars" and will reveal part of the mysteries. So, for example, players, together with Khan Solo and Chubakka, will take a job on raftars, help Dameron save Admiral Akbar and find out where the C-3PO has a red hand.
Demo version has already appeared on PS4. The release will take place on June 28 on PC, PS3, PS4, Xbox 360 and Xbox One.
Anton Daty: It seems that no one in the editorial office wanted to talk about Lego Star Wars, but I hasten to recall that the series still provides one of the best cooperative experiments in video games in general. Especially for children. For all these years, Traveller’s Tales has not forgotten how to make Lego games (because the template works and will work, only the settings of new time to draw), so now everything will be fine.
Resident Evil VII – now terrible and with VR support
It just so happened that we were weaned to perceive resident evil as a classic horror. That's why Resident Evil VII According to the first frames, you can take for a second for Silent Hill or, say, p.T. But the game will really be a horror with a first -person view, and will also acquire optional support for virtual reality.
Resident Evil VII will appear on the shelves on January 24, 2017, however, a free demo version in the PlayStation Store has already been released. It is stipulated that moments from demo will not be included in the full game.
Except PS4, the game will be released on Xbox One and PC.
Oleg Chimde: Who would have thought that the new Resident Evil would be like that? Yes, no one. That is why the audience gasped when the protagonist of the playable teaser stumbled upon mannequins. Suddenly Silent Hills? But no. If you have already managed to play the teaser (it appeared at night, immediately after the conference), then you will agree: it does not look like Silent Hill or Resident Evil. What will come of this is absolutely not clear, but so far it looks like some kind of Indie-Horror from Steam Greenlight. The transition to the first -person mode is understandable and logical (for VR is still a game), but the legacy of the cult series is not felt at all.
The updated Crash Bandicoot trilogy will be released on PS4
Sony announced that the next year, remasted versions will be released on the PS4 Crash Bandicoot , Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back And Crash Bandicoot 3: Warped. Which studio is engaged in updating the classics is not known. Originals, recall, developed Naughty Dog (Uncharted, The Last of Us).
Sony representatives added that in October Crash Bandikut will appear in Skylanders: Imaginators as a playable character.
Anton Daty: Great news – we waited a long time, and finally. But! JAK & DAXTER. Please. At least a remaster of the original trilogy, if with a fourth part it has not grown together.
Sony, have a conscience!
Call of Duty continues to turn into a cosmoster
Activision introduced the first gameplay video Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare. The developers continue to pedal the topic of the future and this time they will send players into space to fight in zero gravity. According to the plot, the protagonist commands one of the last warships of the Earth fleet – "Retribation".
The star of "Games of Thrones" Keith Harington will play in the new COD of the main villain. Director Gai Richie will help him, who shot the advertising video to Call of Duty: Black Ops 2.
The release of Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare will take place on November 4 on PC, PS4 and Xbox One.
Anton Daty: The verdict of my inner fan of dumb spectacular actioncenes – the patient is rather alive. On the one hand, of course, Call of Duty is now in a shaky position – there was still no mental pain after Black Ops 3, and the memory of the terrible Ghosts is still fresh. And here is Battlefield 1 with its dynamic weather and a radical change in the setting against the background of universal insanity on Sci-Fi.
But, on the other hand, Infinity Ward had three years to realize, understand and correct everything that can. And, judging by the fresh gameplay, they managed to at least refresh the key mechanics. Shooting at zero gravity was fun even at Borderlands: Pre-Equel, so with endless money Bobby's cota in Infinite Warfare there is a scope for creativity in terms of staging cosmic insanity. If you add a clear story and a cheerful multiplayer to this, the patient will be in perfect order in general. Despite all your dyslaists on YouTube.
Sony continues to show games for PlayStation VR
Sony called the start date of the sales of the PS VR helmet – October 13, it will cost $ 399. Sony representatives emphasized that any of the forty million PS4 owners will be able to enjoy virtuality: this is how many consoles were sold today.
The development contains about fifty games for PS VR. One of them is a shooter Farpoint From the Impulse Gear studio. In December it will be released Star Wars Battlefront: X-Wing VR Mission , where, it seems, you have to fight on the star fighter T-65.
In October will appear Batman: Arkham vr. A Here They Lie – Another horror, which, unlike Resident Evil VII, will only be released on PS4. The player will have to explore the city inhabited by strange and evil creatures. The impression should enhance the first -person view, which can be supplemented by the helmet of the virtual reality of PS VR. The game will be released in the fall, but the developers do not call the exact date yet.
For PS VR, they also make something based on Final Fantasy XV-judging by the video, this is a shooting range where you play for one of the heroes, Promto Argentum. It is not clear at the same time whether this is a mode inside the game itself or a separate product.
Artemy Kozlov: Given the lowest entry price (350 bucks per console and 400 for a helmet: at least two times less than a good game PC and Oculus Rift), the PlayStation VR has a serious application for leadership in the race. It is now clear that the significantly smaller power of iron is unlikely to stop anyone: in most popular toys for the same Vive graphics is simple, and in fact this does not interfere with the immersion. The main thing is a competent design with which nothing dissonates with each other and does not cause the thought “But this is not my hands!".
The only thing that PlayStation VR is really behind: this platform will not have an openness inherent in virtual reality on a PC. In other words, there are fewer experimental demons and all kinds of creative hings, exclusively games approved by Sony. But here again everything can happen.
Norman Ridus in the new game Hideo Kojima
Kodzima entered the stage to the music from the last “Mad Max” and with pomp announced the new game of Kojima Production studios – Death Stranding. Norman Ridus (“Walking Dead”) was involved in the work on the project, which was supposed to play the main role in Silent Hills. But Guillermo del Toro is not involved.
Death Stranding is created for PS4. It will be an action – but, as Kojima says, in a special, unusual, manifestation. The debut trailer leaves even more questions: the character of Ridus comes to his senses on the beach, he has in his hands a baby who turns … oil? Around – whales that were thrown ashore, and five human figures are visible in the sky.
When the game appears on sale, it is also not yet known. Of course.
Artemy Kotov: Needless to say – a hideo kojima game. The teaser literally drowned us in dead whales and alarming, but bewitching images. The video can be studied for a long time by personnel – which we are doing now – but so far these are only beautiful hints. As we prophesied at the beginning of the year, the Kojima studio makes a fantastic action, but how it will be, while he alone knows. One thing is clear: the Japanese did not waste the directorial abilities and is preparing to surprise everyone. Again.
New trailer Detroit: Become Human
The QUANTIC Dream studio (Heavy Rain and Beyond: Two Souls) introduced a new trailer Detroit: Become Human – Thriller in the style of Neonour, telling about the hard fate of the Androids in Detroit of the future. As in the previous games of the studio, the development of history depends on the solutions of the player, but this time the authors have pushed on variability. The same event can have different consequences: from peaceful permission to the death of one of the heroes.
Detroit: Become Human will only be released on PS4. The release date has not yet been announced.
Artemy Kotov: Very reminiscent of Heavy rain, and this is not necessarily bad. David Cage always succeeded with gloomy detective thrillers, and even if the Frenchman is in no hurry to experiment, let it be like that. He is busy doing best.
Well, yes, there is already a joke on the network that, they say, turning the main characters into androids, Cage found a loophole that allows riveting lifeless characters. Funny, but how fair it is – everyone will decide for himself. At least this time we do not hear fiery speeches about real emotions at every step, and in addition to the cage, other people work on the script. This inspires the hope that this time an ambitious game director will send someone to the right direction.
Even more gameplay Horizon: Zero Dawn
Sony introduced a new trailer Horizon: Zero Dawn – New action from Guerrilla studio. The video showed how the main character of the game travels around the world and fights with robots. The action takes place on Earth of the future. After a mysterious cataclysm, civilization seemed to roll back hundreds of years ago. The ruins remained on the site of the cities, and the survivors live in the fields and forests. The new owners of the planet were huge robots, which seemed to resemble dinosaurs.
Horizon: Zero Dawn will be released on March 1 on PS4.
Anton Daty: Horizon is slowly starting to take shape – now it can be seen that this is a full -fledged role action with a dialog wheel, pokatushki on the cyberbesh company Boston Dynamics and the collection of Luta in the corresponding contextual window. It should be well felt in the long run, because it is physically difficult to restore the game about huge cybernetic dinosaurs. In addition, Guerrilla lured the designer of quests of the third “Witcher”, and if they introduced him to a person who wrote a script for the first Killzone a million years ago, it could turn out very cool. Let's cross your fingers or something.
The Last Guardian will be released on October 25
Sony showed The Last Guardian trailer and finally called the release date of the game, which has been in development since 2007, on October 25. Of course, this is only about PS4. The video was devoted to the relationship of the boy and the griffin -like cocoon. The latter will be far from the only similar creature in the game: an adult individual appears in the trailer, which, apparently, abducts https://sister-site.org/bass-win-casino/ the boy.
Fedor Sivov: To be honest, despite the facts, it is still difficult to believe that this game will still come out. Now it remains to see how the time and all the troubles during the development process will affect The Last Guardian – all this usually affects long -term construction. Be that as it may, this is the Fumito Weda project, insanely similar to his past works on style, idea and atmosphere. And for the sake of it it is worth waiting.
Days Gone is suspiciously similar to The Last of Us
Bend Studio (Syphon Filter, Uncharted for PlayStation Vita) makes a new game in post -apocalyptic setting – Days Gone. In a debut gameplay video, an unnamed protagonist goes behind supplies to an abandoned sawmill. And there hundreds of walking are waiting for him, or rather, nimble running, the dead like those who were in the film "World War Z".
Days Gone will only be released on PS4. The release date is not called.
Sergey Matveev: I don’t know how you are, but my first thought when looking at Days Gone was: “Oh, you are hedgehogs, the last of us about the biker?!»Agree, the game looks almost exactly: locations, light, character design. The protagonist has the same gait as Joel’s, and how he embarrassedly jumps and climbs these wooden beams … In general, it seems that someone shared resources with friends.
But the gameplay showed that playing gone will be different. Firstly, developers constantly focus on the fact that this is a game in the open world. Secondly, instead of the exact and calculating shooting of mushroom zombies, we will demolish a crowd of rotting meat into the whole clip (by the way, it seemed to me that zombies were similar to the Gollums?).
However, this does not really fit into a post -apocalyptic setting, where cartridges seem to be out of excess. And we also have a bike – does this mean that it will be possible to move freely and knead the wheels of the dirt and the heads of revitalized corpses? Or it remains at DEAD Riding?
