100 / 104

they’ve removed the damn power
brick that constantly gets in the way
of everything. It’s even got 4K video
capabilities, and a 2TB HDD (!), so
perhaps it’ll be time for an upgrade. How
good would The Wizard That Came From
The Moon look in 4K?!
A trailer featuring kangaroos also did
well to get everyone’s attention, until they
realised it was just a scenic introduction
to the next Forza game, Horizon 3.
Granted, it does do justice to our beautiful
country, so I’ll probably jump in for a
couple of hours and just drive over things.
Like if Drive Club were set Down Under,
and people actually played it.
Ever since Recore’s reveal last year
I’ve been wanting more. For one reason
or another, the concept of moving an
orb (core) from one inanimate object to
another caught me, and I can’t wait to get
my hands on this when it launches.
One thing I didn’t expect was a creepy,
almost Orwellian (shh I read like half of
Nineteen Eighty-Four) title by the name
of We Happy Few. If you’re trying to get
your head around the idea, just picture a
game where you’re attempting to escape
from a city of Happy Mask Salesmen.
You’ve met with a terrible fate, haven’t
you?
Something that I never thought would
excite me is a Star Trek VR game. Maybe
it was the way the trailer was edited, but
I actually am super interested in checking
out Bridge Crew when it releases.
Vikings and Samurais and Ninjas – oh
my! We saw some brutal gameplay from
For Honorthat looks tedious but at least
worth a shot. I’ll be playing as a Viking
just to honour Robbaz.
Honestly, I’ve never really been into the
whole Kratos thing, but this instalment
of God of War has Mjolnir so you can
bet your cute red tattoos I’ll be having a
crack. And teaching your son how to do
things while wrestling other bigger things
that are attacking him? It’s just likeThe
Revenant!
I’ve been way too excited
about Horizon: Zero Dawnever since I
first heard of its existence. I think it has
at least a little bit to do with the fact that
it’s basically Skyrim,except you play as
Lydia and there are mechanical dinosaurs
running around. Like a better Tomb Raider.
Like… ARK: Survival Evolved?
VR looks to be slowly taking over
the world, with the announcement of a
Batman Arkham VR title, that reportedly
will be more focused on Bruce’s detective
side than his combat. Probably a good
thing for VR, and hopefully that also
means I won’t have to come face-to-mask
with The Scarecrow.
Potentially the biggest jaw-dropping
trailer moment was when everyone
realised that super slick-looking space
footage with giant Avatar mechs and a
grapple thing was the new Call of Duty.
It got slammed when the trailer dropped,
but it looks as though everyone that was
only gonna grab it for the Modern Warfare
remaster may have a second campaign on
their hands.
Sony totally won this year’s E3 IMO;
not only did they announce a CRASH
BANDICOOT REMASTER, but they
brought along none other than Hideo
Kojima to show off his studio’s new
game Death Stranding. (Four for you
Hideo, you go Hideo!)
As for Nintendo’s overwhelmingly
short presentation, I’m super excited
for the two newPokémon games, if
slightly confused as to why they didn’t
just use Solrock and Lunatone as the
legendaries. Of course, there’s Pokémon
GOout in July too, but who knows where
that’s gonna, uh, go...
Time to start saving and put in my leave
for theSkyrimrelease. Until next year.
