Sony E3 Media Briefing Breakdown: Part 1

Hi guys
 There are two type of games this morning, the ones who are you ecstatic that Playstation scored a home run last night, then there are the Xbox fans who are trying to distance themselves from the train wreck that is Xbox One. You would never think that I was a Playstation fan boy would you?
     Right as the title suggests over the next few weeks I will be breaking down the amazing(READ not train wreck) experience that was the Sony Media briefing at E3 2013.
 

I'm going to be honest with you, the first third or so of the briefing was pretty dull. They talked about a Vita which I don't have, and some TV(blissfully not a lot) which I watch else were, the highlight of that section was seeing the beast that is the PS4 in the metal flesh.

It was after that that thing started to get going, for real, the games started to be brought out in force, I can't remember them in chronological order so I will just talk about them as I remember them! What struck me most, was a little franchise called The Elder Scrolls. Yes that is right; a game which was only supposed to be making its way to PC will be making its way to the PS4 and Xbox One. This game is the 6th instalment in the Elder Scrolls franchise, and a game that I will definitely be getting upon it's release in 2014, there will also be a exclusive console beta for the PS4!

The next amazing game is inFamous Second Son, for this game we got a new trailer that showed Delsin(The new protagonist) being basically a total bad ass. It appears that as Cole's special ability was to do with electricity, Delsin looks to be able to command some form of fire. This game will see you taking the reigns of Delsin and trying to free your new city from tyranny. During the trailer we see Delsin in a car driving to some slightly forested areas, this may mean that the world may be more than just the city! 

    

I know that I have only covered two games in this post, but I want to talk about each game to their fullest extent. Is there a specific game you want me to talk about in part 2? Leave it down in the comments. Also how did you find the E3 press conferences?

Run up to E3 2013: Part 2

Hi guys
 I as I promised in the last E3 post I will be talking about an Xbox game. I was going to talk about more than just one game, but after the abysmal Xbox One announcement I though that I would only talk about one. Anyway the three games I will be talking about are Halo 5, Battlefield 4, and Batman Origins.
   

Halo
First up is Halo 5, this is a series which I have never personally played but I have obviously heard of it, this game will probably see you reprising your role as Master Cheif, I say probably because we have heard very little about this game other than its announcement at the Xbone reveal. I'm sure we will hear more about this game at Microsofts E3 conference.

Battlefield 4
As you can see the next game I will be talking about is Battlefield 4, if you follow me on twitter you will know just how much I have played, if you want to see my stats for BF3 you can on Battlelog. I really can't wait for more details on this game, as I'm sure you remember there was a 17 minute game play released a few months ago. Which was taken from the single player side of the game I was very impressed by the looks of the game but was slightly concerned about their focus on Single player, well that should be dispelled at E3. DICE have confirmed that there will be a live demo for the multiplayer of BF4. I am very excited for the release of this game later this year.

Batman Arkam Origins

This is a game which will precede all of the current Arkam games, this game is set on a Christmas eve on an unknown year in Batman's early life. We have had only one trailer for this game which was a CGI trailer, so you can't think of that as the final graphics, but I think it looks like a totally epic game and can't wait to see some actual game play at E3 this year. If you haven't seen the trailer then you can below: 

As you can see in this game our main enemy will be Black Mask, a villain which we have never seen before in a Batman game, I think it is safe to say that this game is looking really good already.

     So that brings us to the end of this road to E3, if there are any game you would like to hear me talk about leave it down in the comments below.

Run up to E3 2013: Part 1

Hi guys
 As I'm sure you are aware E3 is approaching, this I would say is the biggest gaming event of the whole year, and this year I thought I would make sure that going into E3 you would know what games you want to keep an eye on. In this first post on E3 I will be talking about Watch_Dogs, Assasssins Creed IV and Destiny, I will be covering some Xbox games as well in a future post, so be sure to check back soon.                                                                 

Watch_Dogs

First up is Watch_Dogs, this game is set in the city of Chicago which is all being controlled by a computer called the ctOS which you just happen to have access to. That will mean that you will be able to hack ATM machines, stop trains, raise bollards, and I'm sure much more. We know very little at the moment about what drove Adian Pearce(The main character) to do what he did, but that is I'm sure what we will be hearing about at E3. All we know now is that there is a family involved somewhere along the road. This is a game that will be launching November 22nd 2013, for current gen and PC, it could be the same date for the PS4 release, but for now we don't know.

Assassins Creed IV Black Flag

Next on in the spot light is Assassins Creed IV Black Flag, this is a game that I am very much looking forward to. It will see our totally new Assassin Edward sailing the seven seas in search of all the best pirate loot. We haven't seen any actual in game footage of this game, but we should be seeing some at E3. I am also very certain there will be a playable demo for any of you who are going. Those of you with a keen memory will remember that last year at Sonys press conference we saw the naval battles for the first time. I doubt it will be more Naval gameplay because we have seen it before. However I wouldn't write of there being some exclusive AC gameplay at Sonys press conference.

Destiny

Last up for today is Destiny, now this game we have see the least about. We saw a very short trailer at the announcement of the PS4 but since that we have seen nothing except a dev diary. I am very excited about this game, it is from the publisher of CoD and the developers of Halo, surely a recipe for success if ever there was one. This is almost certain to feature at Sony press conference this year, and I can't wait to hear more about it.

      That's it for now but I will be talking about other games in the lead up to E3, so do check back soon to read more.

PS4 conference Breakdown Part 8:Summery

Hi guys
As you may have seen from the title, I have come to the end of my PS4 summery. There were more games announced but I have covered the ones that I am very excited for. As of me posting this there is no official announcement of the release date for the console, all we know is that it will launch in Fall 2013(Autumn/early winter for UK guys), but that is all we know for now. There have been rumours that the PS4 will get another exclusive event when more details will be shown in May, but that is just rumour for now. We also have no word yet on the price of the console, my opinion is that it will be sold for around £300-£350. I am certain in my assumption that we will be getting many more details at E3 2013 which is being held in LA in early June. That's all for now I would like to thank you all for the immense support of my PS4 breakdown, I hope you have enjoyed reading them as much as I have enjoyed making them. If there is a specific game you would like to see announced for the PS4 leave it in the comments bellow.
