With how frequent the most recent Nintendo Directs have been, there wasn't a great deal left to surprise us at Nintendo's E3 presentation. However, we did get a glimpse at a new four-player co-op game set in the Metroid universe. Metroid Prime: Federation Force gives players a chance to hop into their fanciest mech suits and bring justice(?) and prosperity(?) to a hostile(?) universe.
It's not all gritty, tooth and nail PvP combat in Star Wars Battlefront. The galaxy far, far away is fraught with peril, and sometimes you need a buddy to blast your way out of trouble. Sony's press conference showed footage of exactly what you and your pal can do against wave after wave of those iconic stormtroopers who are fed up with a pair of rebels.
The audience attending Ubisoft's E3 press conference learned a few valuable lessons from Tom Clancy's The Division today. Despite being awash in some pre-scripted game chatter from the players, we saw just how south a mission can go when you turn guns on newly acquired allies out of greed. They also learned that having Christmas lights up during the apocalypse is considered in poor taste.
Amidst all of the reveals and hype yesterday, we somehow let slip past us the fact that Dark Souls 3 was officially announced. Much rumored to be in development, the game got its proper announcement trailer debut and it seems to hint at a return to locations familiar to any fan of the previous Souls games.
Right in the middle of Ubisoft's E3 conference, somewhere between Aisha Tyler's meme jokes and new South Park footage, we learned that The Crew is getting its first full expansion. Dubbed "Wild Run", it'll be diving into the more niche areas of car culture by introducing new events and vehicle types. As is apparently tradition at this year's E3, it'll be coming out this November, specifically the 17th.
While some of the info has been leaked here and there, the next Destiny expansion has officially been revealed this evening at Sony's E3 Press Conference. Titled "The Taken King," the expansion will take players to what appears to be Jupiter, give them new gear, and new sub-classes for all the heroes.
Among the new games and content being revealed during E3 this year, we heard some exciting news regarding one of our personal favorite co-op beat-em-up titles, Castle Crashers! This summer, fans of the smash hit indie title will be able to grab the remastered version of the game on Xbox One! That's right, Castle Crashers will once again ...
After some speculation earlier today, Ubisoft delivered on their promise and unveiled one of the co-op modes for Rainbow Six: Siege. The infinitely replayable terrorist hunt mode is back with five player co-op through randomly generated missions. The Operator mechanic which was showcased in the game's PvP mode is also in play for co-op, with players taking on special roles in missions.
Ubisoft's E3 2015 press conference just wrapped up and there was a few surprise reveals. The biggest one for co-op fans is a return of the Ghost Recon franchise, this time to next-gen platforms. Revealed was Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Wildlands, a four player co-op tactical shooter that looks equal parts Ghost Recon as it does Far Cry.
War never changes in the world of plants and zombies. It is a war that has raged eternal, with plants usually getting the upper hand thanks to player intervention. That changes with the new Plants vs Zombies: Garden Warfare 2. While the game was teased during Microsoft's conference earlier in the day, EA's conference had some more details. Specifically that players will be able to team up as zombies to take down the plants.
Microsoft popped the cork on their press conference today by dropping a bunch of surly Spartans right into Halo 5: Guardians. Master Chief has finally gotten fed up with being the universe's most loyal soldier and bounced from his post, meaning this band of roided up space marines are trying to track him down. While the demo (complete with a ton of Covenant-crunching gameplay) focused on one squad of Spartans, Microsoft revealed the campaign will thrust you into the armored boots of two separate groups: those hunting Master Chief, and those lead by Chief himself.
We caught a glimpse of it at last year's E3, but we finally got an extended look at the 1930's style platform shooter, Cuphead, at Microsoft's press conference. The video game lovechild of brothers Chad and Jared Moldenhauer follows the exploits of Cuphead and Mugman, a duo tricked into doing the Devil's bidding after a dice game gone awry.
