Crystal Dynamics has announced Rise of the Tomb Raider, coming Holiday 2015. A trailer shown during Microsoft's E3 Press Conference featured a visibly distressed Lara undergoing therapy after the events of 2012's Tomb Raider. Croft is also seen sneaking through enormous caves, once again killing enemies quietly with here bow.
Trailer:
"In the next chapter of her journey, Lara must use her survival skills and wits, learn to trust new friends, and ultimately accept her destiny as the Tomb Raider," Microsoft said. "Featuring epic, high-octane action moments, Rise of the Tomb Raider will take gamers to multiple locations around the world filled with exploration spaces that are some of the most beautifully hostile places on earth. In addition, after hearing the cry from fans loud and clear, the game will put the tombs back into “Tomb Raider" all in the franchise’s gritty Survival-Action style."
During the Ubisoft media briefing being held at the Electronic Entertainment Expo in Los Angeles the publisher published a new trailer of Tom Clancy’s The Division.The trailer is actually quite relevant, as it shows how it all happened, and how the pandemic spread in New York City.
Ubisoft showed Assassin's Creed: Unity co-op gameplay earlier today at Microsoft's E3 2014 press conference, but outdid that demo at its own conference with both a hyper-dramatic cinematic trailer and a long single-player gameplay demonstration in Unity's "systemic open world."
The single-player demo shows much bigger crowds than we've seen in previous Assassin's Creeds, as well as much more detailed interiors which can be entered seamlessly for the first time. There's also a new parkour system that makes it easier to descend from tall buildings, and some "choose or ignore" events. Pleasingly, Unity introduces a dedicated stealth mode, which hopefully means no more vaulting when you meant to crouch and hide.
Based on this look, though, co-op is still Unity's most notable change: how the new hero, Arno, "carves his own path" through Paris significantly differently than Kenway explored the Caribbean in Assassin's Creed IV is unclear so far (except that we might not see ships this time). It is exceptionally pretty in the state it's being demoed, of course.
Watch the cinematic trailer above, and the gameplay demonstration below.
You don't even have to give up your multiplayer progress.
Rockstar's 2013 hit, Grand Theft Auto 5, is coming to PS4 this fall. It is also coming to Xbox One and PC, either at the same time or likely shortly thereafter.
If you've already spent tons of time in GTA Online, don't worry. Your multiplayer progress will carry over to the PS4 version whether you played on Xbox 360 or PS3.
In a recent poll, IGN's community rated Grand Theft Auto 5 as its third most popular game of the last generation,
Mortal Kombat X will be released on PS4, Xbox One, PS3, Xbox 360 and PC, according to Warner Bros.
Given the fact the game will be cross-generational, it seems likely that the below trailer isn't made from gameplay footage, but so far both WB and NetherRealm have remained mum on exactly what it shows off. The game will apparently be on show at E3 next week, so hopefully we'll be able to tell you more very soon.
The studio has also claimed that MKX "launches players into a persistent online contest where every fight matters in a global battle for supremacy. For the first time, Mortal Kombat X gives players the ability to choose from multiple variations of each character impacting both strategy and fighting style. Players step into an original story showcasing some of the game’s most prolific characters including Scorpion and Sub-Zero, while introducing new challengers that represent the forces of good and evil and tie the tale together."
Original story: Mortal Kombat X has been officially announced for a 2015 release with a new trailer showing off an incredibly atmospheric battle between the iconic Scorpion and Sub-Zero.
The trailer, which you can see below, looks absolutely incredible. A number of key features were shown off, including the return of personal weapons as well as environmental interaction that allows you to rip branches off trees and beat your opponents with them.
The video also shows off the X-Ray attacks introduced in the 2011 reboot of the franchise, which gruesomely depict body parts getting broken and bruised. Check it out.
The official blurb reads "Fueled by next-gen technology, Mortal Kombat X combines unparalleled, cinematic presentation with dynamic gameplay to create an unprecedented Kombat experience." Does this mean the game will only come to next-gen consoles, contrary to Amazon UK's listing earlier today? Unfortunately, platforms have yet to be confirmed.
