You did remember that Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate is finally traveling the world in 2015, right? The 3DS exclusive is essentially an upgrade to the Japan-only Monster Hunter 4, but part of that upgrade involves slapping English text on the screen and shoving it into the hands of eager players whose last taste of MH was Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate.
Sony closed out Day 0 of E3 with a strong presentation of what's to come on the PlayStation 4 and Vita. With a mix of leaks we already knew about, and a few pleasant surprises, the co-op content delighted and brought a smile to our faces. Opening with Destiny, we found out more about the playable Guardians and how they are cho...
Games with enough hype behind them at can show up in several press conferences at E3, each appearance highlighting a new part of the game. Far Cry 4 got a double-feature this year, showing up first in Ubisoft's conference before moonlighting at Sony's. The shooter, due out November 18th of this year, demonstrated some of its explosive, high-flying gameplay at the Sony show, where they were also kind enough to clue us in on some co-op options.
Once an Xbox One exclusive title, Dead Rising 3 will soon be arriving on PC for those looking for a boost in graphics. All the zombie slaying you've come to love, but with the hardware and enhancements needed to make it a complete, next-gen title.
Players will get a chance to return to the world of Albion in the latest Fable game, Fable Legends. Unlike previous entries, Fable Legends will allow you to team up with three friends this time around to tackle adventures and quests, or you can choose to be the villain and thwart the heroes.
I've got to give Capcom credit, they are well aware how ridiculous some of their "special" or extended editions of their games can get as Dead Rising 3 is getting a new piece of DLC titled Super Ultra Dead Rising 3 Arcade Remix Hyper Edition (EX plus Alpha). This new DLC adds a four-player arcade mode to the game and is only available on the Xbox One. It's also available right now!
Rebellion showed off an all new Sniper Elite 3 trailer recently, focusing mainly on the multiplayer and co-op modes. For sure, players will be dying to play them on day one, if not for the co-op alone.
Sony's Conference ends Day 1 at E3. Will things end on a high? Will we see a mic dropping performance like we saw last year? One thing is for sure, you can bet Sony will tout the PlayStation 4's dominance in the sales charts.
For the past year or so here at Co-Optimus HQ, things have a been a little bit quiet. As the "generations" transition between consoles gamers seem to be waiting on content. Today they got a glimpse of that content from Microsoft who unleashed game after game after game to the audience.
A fair amount of time of Microsoft's press conference at this year's E3 was spent basically stating "we've got indie games!" One of those games is Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime, a Co-Optimus staff favorite when we saw it last year being demo'd for the PC, and which is now confirmed as coming to the Xbox One through the ID@XBox program.
It's safe to say the folks making Sunset Overdrive never intended to make a serious shooter. I mean, setting your game in a world where a tainted energy drink turns people into mutants (that you can then dispatch with a firework-launching flare gun) doesn't exactly suggest "gritty." They even poke fun at the overwhelming number of realistic cover-based shooters in their E3 trailer.
The third conference of the day is Ubisoft. Under their belt are the Tom Clancy franchises like The Division and Splinter Cell. Of course there are other staples like Assassin's Creed to add to the mix now, but could Ubisoft surprise us like they did two years ago with Watch_Dogs and a new IP?
