One potential surprise is the first footage and details for The Avengers project that was announced last year. Rumors indicate that the project has been retooled to be a reboot of the Marvel Ultimate Alliance games , but fans will have to wait until Square Enix’s E3 2018 press conference to be s
One potential Ubisoft E3 2018 surprise was the reveal of Assassin’s Creed Odyssey , which leaked ahead of time and was then confirmed by the company. However, just because Assassin’s Creed Odyssey leaked, that doesn’t mean Ubisoft doesn’t have any other surprises in store for fans. Rumors point to a brand new Splinter Cell game being announced at E3 this year, which would mark the first Splinter Cell title in five years. Whether or not that comes to pass remains to be seen, but fans should be sure to tune in to Ubisoft’s E3 2018 press conference to
Bethesda gave fans a pair of pre-E3 surprises when it announced Rage 2 , which was previously leaked by Walmart, as well as Fallout 76 . Bethesda will pull the curtain back on Fallout 76 at its E3 2018 press conference, where it should address rumors that the game will be an online multiplayer survival ti
Aside from minor nitpicks, I found myself smiling from ear to ear playing Bug Fables . Yes, it is definitely coasting on a major wave of nostalgia, but it feels fantastic. It absolutely nails the combat, the visual style, and the general tone and vibe of the Paper Mario games. It’s a little awkward in places, but that honestly didn’t stop me from enjoying this game immens
It has been 11 years since there was an entry in the Destroy All Humans! franchise, but according to a recent rumor, THQ Nordic stands ready to showcase a new game at E3 2019. The last anyone saw of Crypto, he was leaving the Furon Palace when Pox became the emperor. It’s unknown if a new game would serve as a sequel to the last game, a reboot, a spin-off, or what, but it’s likely to garner tons of attention nonethel
These spectacular showcases will be excellent outlets for both major console manufacturers to sell their upcoming new hardware, with Microsoft and Sony likely to announce tons of new games, reveal some stunning next-generation gameplay , and unveil some groundbreaking new entries in their most iconic franchises. For many, the latter of these prospects is without question the most exciting, especially as new consoles mean more expansive ways of tackling some of gaming’s most important
There’s a reason why gamers look forward to E3 every year. Not only does the show give fans a chance to learn more about already-announced titles, but it’s also used by video game companies to shock the industry with surprise game announcements. There are many surprise game announcements rumored for E3 2018 , and it will be exciting to see if any of them are accur
One of the most demonstrable shifts in the way morality systems work now is in the Mass Effect series. While Andromeda’s facial animations and other aspects faced major criticisms when it released, Tango Gameworks most of which were deserved, it ditched the paragon and renegade system found in the first three entries of the series. The newer system, which gave players the option to respond in four different manners rather than just two, was still flawed, but it marked a departure from the standard good versus evil archtypes, attempting to give players more characterization, even if it didn’t necessarily succ
While the story itself isn’t breaking any new ground, the world that Bug Fables takes place in is incredibly charming. The three characters grow on you as the game progresses, and while the dialogue isn’t exactly hilarious, it’s amusing, well-written, full of bug-related puns, and walks the fine line between straight-laced fantasy and fourth-wall-breaking humor. It takes a little while for the plot to get rolling, but once it picks up, it becomes an excellent throwback to RPG narratives of the 16 and 32-bit
Earlier this year, unconfirmed reports claimed that Fable 4 is in active development at Playground Games, the studio best known for its work on the Forza Horizon series. These reports still have yet to be proven, but with Microsoft recently purchasing Playground Games, it’s clear that the publisher has a vested interest in the studio. If Fable 4 is in development as rumored, maybe an announcement will come at
Bug Fables is pretty solid in every aspect, but I will admit to some mild frustration due to the game’s dedication to being a Paper Mario tribute act. As a result of the flat style, sometimes the platforming and puzzle sections were a little awkward. Lining up certain jumps could be hard to gauge as the shadows under the characters were too light to reliably determine where I was going to land. This problem could be exacerbated if I was trying to go toward or away from the screen as the ground might not be fully visible due to the camera’s position. The side view of the game could also be a hindrance to solving puzzles as it would be hard to properly aim abilities like Vi’s Beemerang, which made some puzzles more annoying than they should have b
