E3 Game Standouts

Top E3 game standouts according to smrtID3A.com.

With E3 happening this week there has been a lot of news, releases, and surprises. I have many games that I am looking forward to and there are, what seems like, too many games to count releases at the fall season. All the buzz about new games, I thought I would bring to the forefront the games that stood out the most to me.

Alien Isolation
This is by far the most intriguing and exciting title for me and I cannot wait for it's release. The game focuses around Ripley's daughter and her search for her mother. You will be trying to find out the story of what happened on the space station and during that search for the truth you will be stalked and hunted by the alien. I have such high expectations of this game after seeing the level of detail put in to every scene. The audio, level design, and production value of this game has been done with a level of attention to detail that I have not seen in a long time. The team behind this game really tried to capture the original feel you had when watching Alien for the first time and from the trailer alone, I feel that they are really close to accomplishing that. With the release of this game, I am hoping to have the same feeling I had when I played Outlast. The fear and anticipation of what will happen next I had with playing Outlast has never been accomplished since and Alien: Isolation is the game that I hope delivers the same feeling.

Release Date: October 7th, 2014
Platform: PS4, PS3, PC, XB1, XB360

Evolve
What can I say about Evolve other than wow! Evolve is a multiplayer tactical shooter, that places you in the woods hunting a player controlled monster. You are able to choose from 4 classes or you can be the monster. The idea for this game is one that will change multiplayer experiences. There are so many possibilities as to how you can approach hunting the monster and if you're the monster you can have numerous options as to how you will attack the hunters. It is so encouraging to see how developers now are starting to venture from the same formats we have seen for years and they are coming up with excellent ideas like Evolve. This game looks to be a breathe of fresh air in the shooter genre saturated with the same old ideas. Evolve, with its unique gameplay experience should really standout and allow for new possibilities in the genre. I wish that October would only come sooner.

Release Date: October 21st, 2014
Platform: PS4, PC, XB1

Rainbow Six: Siege
Ubisoft has had a strong showing this year and they didn’t disappoint with the debut of Rainbow Six: Siege. The game is a multiplier shooter with a few new ideas that look to spice up the gameplay. The idea is to save or hold the hostage, depending on what team you are on. The game allows for destructible environments, creative gameplay, and so much more. The graphics look stunning but what game hasn’t this year at E3? There was not as much revealed about Siege but what was show is something for the eyes to see. With what I have seen, the future looks bright for gamers.

Release Date: TBD
Platform: PS4, PC, XB1
