Dan spent the day at EGX 2014 in Earls Court, previewed some games and made some assumptions about the rest of the industry.
Bloodborne is dark, dangerous and scary. Thankfully, its high-stakes combat system keeps you in full control.
Games expos present a great opportunity for titles big and small to make waves and show the world what they are made of. Of course in order to actually showcase their game in progress, developers must first find a way to reel people in. This can be particularly hard when the game in question lacks brand awareness, has big budget competition or appeals to only a very small niche. Fortunately there are plenty of opportunities for developers to generate interest amongst the event audience whatever the case may be.
Eurogamer gave the team at IM PLAYIN a chance to play some fantastic games, as I’m sure you’ve all read. Games such as Far Cry 4, the titles coming out of Team 17, Battlefield Hardline and Advanced Warfare, stuff to really get people to the shops/pre-order sites! The game I was most excited for was Microsoft exclusive Sunset Overdrive. Boy. Now that was fun.
I’ve never played a game that was so colourful. The bright and vibrant feel of this game puts a smile on your face from the word go, and once you’re smiling, there’s no stopping. Fireworks from the Firework gun enhance this feeling even further, with explosions of colours abound leaving you oooh-ing at the screen for ages while you’re suppose to be neck-deep in mutant bodies.
Didnt get to play this, but had a half decent few from the CoD queue. God damn it was colourful!
This game looks excellent. I'm going to be spending a lot of time at the XB1 owning friends houses once this releases.
The XB1 is looking to have a stellar Q4 line up.
@first comment- What are you guys even talking about?
Anyways, only a few more weeks and this game and my new cirrus white xbox one will be mine. XD
I don't imagine this game will receive universal acclaim but it does look insanely fun.
It's sad that the two consoles with the best exclusives are selling the worst. That's what media hype does for you.
