Anyone watch Summer Game Fest this year? There were so many great announcements and previews this year when you add in the State of Play from this week! I expect we’ll get some more cool announcements at the Xbox showcase and the rumored Nintendo Direct next week.
Did anyone have any titles in particular that interested them?
There were so many games that stood out this week, off the top of my head the coolest ones were:
Wolverine - self explanatory, an insomniac game with Wolverine sounds incredible after playing through the Spiderman games
Rayman - the game looks gorgeous and I always love a new co op game for my wife and I to play
God of War Laufey - another beautiful looking game, the story also looks very interesting. I’ve been putting off playing through the recent GoW games but I think I’ll play through those prior to this release!
Bancho the Chef - my wife is a chef and she loves the kitchen side of Dave the Diver, we’ll definitely be giving this game a go! I definitely agree with what BBK said on this weeks podcast about it having the vibe of an early 2000s game with all of the minigames in it
Stuntman Hollywood - I loved Stuntman when I was a kid, I remember renting it a few times from Blockbuster. I was really excited when I saw Brian’s Supra show up in the trailer, great movie references in the trailer and I’m sure the whole game is going to be packed with iconic scenes
Tomb Raider - I loved the last iteration of Tomb Raider games. I preferred the gritty version of Lara but I’m sure this is going to be great as well!
Stranger than Heaven - I LOVE the Yakuza/Like a Dragon series so this is definitely one of my most anticipated upcoming games! I don’t mind things being cheesy so I thoroughly enjoyed the surprise reveal of a character during today’s preview
Virtua Fighter Crossroads - I never played Virtua Fighter but this definitely caught my eye! I can’t tell if it’s going to be a traditional fighting game or if it’s going to be more of an open world brawler. If it’s the latter I will definitely give it a try!
Clutch - a racing game with a story sounds fun and the trailer showed what looks like could be a fun story! Having some of the creators of Forza Horizon working on this leads me to believe the driving is going to be incredible
Final Fantasy 7 Revelation - I’ve been wanting an FF7 remake for over 20 years. We were begging for it on Neoseeker way back in the day and its so cool to see the remake’s story coming to a conclusion! The graphics look beautiful, the gameplay looks exciting and I’m loving the new features they’ve shown so far!!
As for games I was hoping to see:
Elder Scrolls VI - I have no clue when this will ever happen but it’s been 8 years since we saw a reveal of where it will be.
Haunted Chocolatier - New game from the creator of Stardew Valley. I have full trust in Concerned Ape to develop another banger after Stardew smashed all expectations I had for it!
First Berserker Khazan sequel or expansion - this is a long shot after they reassigned the team to other projects but I love this game and additional story and gameplay are near the top of my gaming wishlist
