1. Gears of
War: Judgment
Platform(s):
Xbox 360
People Can Fly (developers of Bulletstorm) are working on
the next Gears and it should be as chainsaw in’ good as all the others. All we
know right now is that Marcus Fenix takes a step back to let a young Damon
Baird and Cole Train aka Augustus Cole star.
2.
PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale
Platform(s):
PS3
Sony’s cloning Nintendo’s Super Smash Bros. formula, but
instead of cute, cuddly and colorful characters from the Nintendo-verse, it’ll
have Sony favorites such as Nathan Drake (Uncharted), Kratos (God of War), Sly
Cooper, Ratchet & Clank and more. What could possibly go wrong?
3. Dead
Space 3
Platform(s):
Xbox 360 / PS3
Details are slim on what direction EA plans to take its
third-person survival horror-shooter franchise, but we do know that the game
will feature co-op multiplayer and will reportedly take place on an icy planet.
So long as there are plasma cutters, we’re game.
4. Halo 4
Platform(s):
Xbox 360
With developer Bungie out of the picture and 343 Industries
in charge of bringing Master Chief back to the FPS genre, Halo 4 is set to make
a ton of fan boys wet their underoos. Can Halo survive in an FPS world that’s
now dominated by Call of Duty? We’ll see.
5. God of
War: Ascension
Platform(s):
PS3
The fifth home-console game in the series (there were a few
PSP spin-offs); Ascension is actually a prequel, if you take into account its
story. It’ll explore protagonist Kratos’ past before he became the Ghost of
Sparta and is the first game in the franchise to feature multiplayer.
Multiplayer in a GoW game? It’s okay. Series creator David Jaffe says it’s
looking good, even though he’s not working on the game.
6. Call of
Duty: Black Ops II
Platform(s):
Xbox 360 / PS3
Activision’s hit franchise is the undisputed king of FPS and
Treyarch looks to repeat its success a second time by taking the battlefield to
the year 2025. And of course, in the future, warfare isn’t warfare without
unmanned drones, jet fighters and killer robots. To keep Black Ops II fresh,
Treyarch is developing the game with dynamic missions in place, meaning
different choices will lead to different endings.
7. Epic
Mickey 2: The Power of Two
Platform(s):
Xbox 360 / PS3 / Wii / PC / OS X
Laugh all you want, but Warren Spector’s Epic Mickey sequel
deserves a spot on this list. If you’ve never played 2010′s Epic Mickey, you
don’t know just how creative the game is. Rather than limit the magical
paintbrush-able world to the Wii Remote, Power of Two brings the same gorgeous
graphics (this game actually has colors other than brown!), but in HD, voice
acting, co-op multiplayer (the original game didn’t have any) and fixed camera
issues that many found dizzying in the first game.
8.
Assassin’s Creed III
Platform(s):
Xbox 360 / PS3 / Wii U / PC / PS Vita
The title is a little misleading because AC III is actually
the fifth game in the series (Brotherhood and Revelations came after AC II).
Taking place during the American Revolution, AC III puts you in control of new
hero Connor Kenway who takes up the fight when his hometown is attacked by
colonists. Powered by a completely new game engine, Ubisoft is not pulling any
punches with AC III. It’s reported that Ubisoft has doubled its development
team to ensure the game looks and plays like a next-gen game. Even more
exciting is that a spin-off of the game will make its way to the PS Vita as
Assassin’s Creed III: Liberation and it’ll reportedly star a female assassin
named Aveline.
9. Metal
Gear Rising: Revengeance
Platform(s):
Xbox 360 / PS3
Revengeance is not your typical Metal Gear game. You don’t
control Snake and you don’t sneak around with cardboard boxes over your head.
Instead, you’ll be playing as pretty-boy Raiden, wielding tons of different
katanas and swords to slash the living sh*t out of almost everything — enemies,
environments, vehicles — in a cyborg suit. As with many of slashing game types,
things can go sideways if there’s no depth or the A.I. isn’t very smart. This
being a Hideo Kojima-produced game, we’ve got high hopes for it.
10.
Resident Evil 6
Platform(s):
Xbox 360 / PS3
Forgetting for a moment Japan’s crazy $1,300 “special
edition” Resident Evil 6 pre-order, Capcom brings Leon S. Kennedy back (last
seen in RE 4) with new partner Helena Harper to fend off yet another
bioterrorist attack. Still cloaked under deep secrecy, RE 6 is said by Capcom
to be its largest game production ever, with over 600 staff members working on
it.
11. Forza
Horizon
Platform(s):
Xbox 360
The Forza series has always been about rivaling Gran Turismo
and being the most realistic racing simulator on consoles. Horizon takes the
franchise onto a different road — an open world one that’s rumored to be set in
Colorado. While Horizon will still run on Forza 4′s physics engine, it should
be a little more arcade-like and less sim than previous titles. Do we smell a
Need for Speed rival creeping up?
12. Aliens:
Colonial Marines
Platform(s):
Wii U / Xbox 360 / PS3
We’ve yet to see any official game launch lists for the Wii
U or even a solid list of what’s in development for Nintendo’s next console,
but we’re super excited for Sega and Gearbox’s Aliens: Colonial Marines. Why?
Because the developers seem genuinely in-love with the Wii U GamePad, heaping
tons of praise on the system’s technical prowess (although, Gearbox can’t divulge)
and new game possibilities of the touchscreen controller. If Gearbox is so
psyched about making an FPS on the Wii U, then we’re pumped, too. We’re just
dying for new ways to play an old genre.
13.
Castlevania: Lords of Shadow — Mirror of Fate
Platform(s):
Nintendo 3DS
Historically speaking, the Castlevania games have always
shined in their 2D forms, whereas its 3D games have all, well, stunk. Konami
looks set to unveil a 3D combat-action adventure game based off the PS3 and
Xbox 360′s Lord of Shadow games. Castlevania games always tend to do very well
on Nintendo handhelds. If Konami plays its cards right, we could be looking at
the next hit 3DS game.
14.
Sleeping Dogs
Platform(s):
Xbox 360 / PS3 / PC
It’s not easy to take a game that was in development for
another publisher and then rebuild it into a brand new one, but Square Enix is
doing just that with Sleeping Dogs. In a previous life, the game was called
True Crime: Hong Kong, until Activision canned it last year, and SE scooped it
up and fixed it into a presentable RPG/shooting/street racing open-world game.
Sleeping Dogs puts you through the eyes of Chinese-American cop Wei Shen who’s
acting as an undercover Triad member. Think of it as a bloodier version of
Rockstar’s GTA: Chinatown Wars, made for consoles with gritty graphics, all in
the beautiful city of Hong Kong. Yeah, we know, you’re drooling!
15. Tomb
Raider
Platform(s):
Xbox 360 / PS3 / PC
Lara Croft’s getting another reboot — one like she’s never
had before. Darker, grittier and with more realistic breast proportions, the
new Tomb Raider will focus on building a believable Lara Croft. We’re expecting
the game to have similar inroads with Uncharted a game that took the
action-adventure genre to a whole new level.
16. Sly
Cooper: Thieves In Time
Platform(s):
PS3 / PS Vita
You won’t believe your eyes aren’t deceiving you when you
gaze at Sly Cooper: Thieves In Time. It’s like watching an HD animation or
cartoon, only it’s not one, it’s a controllable video game. Thieves In Time
rounds out our list of E3 games that excite because it’s one of the only games
of this generation (on PS3 and Xbox 360) that make gorgeous use of last-gen’s
cel-shading technique to breathe life into polygons. Not only is Thieves In
Time one of the best showcases of what devs can still get out of the current
hardware, but it’s hilariously cheesy, but funny dialogue make it a must-buy
when it comes out. Bonus: it’ll be released on the PS Vita as well.
17.
Borderlands 2
Platform(s):
Xbox 360 / PS3 / PC
Borderlands brought Diablo-style loot lust to the
first-person shooter, and the sequel promises bigger, badder guns, a whole new
cast of characters and all of the frenetic, explosive action that saw people
drains hundreds of hours each into the first one. Borderlands 2 looks like
it’ll also keep the same unique art style and humor that made the first one
such a hit.
