Without a doubt, Assassin's Creed Unity was one of the showstoppers at this year's E3 showing, and not just because we learned it has a much deeper co-op mode to look forward to. For those looking for more details on the game's features, we've got some we'd like to relay from Ubisoft
Locke and Nick return unscathed from E3 and bring a tale of a show filled to the brim with co-op games like Destiny, Evolve, Assassin's Creed Unity, and much much more. Listen in as they bring you their impressions from the show including some surprise games!
One of the great pleasures of E3 for me personally was being able to chat with Insomniac Games' CEO Ted Price about their game Sunset Overdrive. The Xbox One exclusive was shown in a big way at the convention, with advertising in every hotel room and a giant inflatable "Fizzy" that answered questions in the South Hall lobby. The biggest surprise for us was the game's 8 player co-op mode which was on the show floor. We talked with Ted about that and some of the game's inspirations, weapons, and what to expect when it launches this fall.
Prior to our hands on time with Destiny at E3 2014 with got to chat with Destiny's Senior Environment Artist, Jason Sussman. We chatted about all things within the game, first and foremost, the game's co-op gameplay. On top of that we learn a bit about the history of the game, just how long it's been in development, and perhaps a few surprising features we haven't realized Destiny has.
It's nearly time to wrangle up your posse and relive the glory days of cracking Covenant skulls in Halo: The Master Chief Collection. But with four different games to plow through, how many of your homies will be able to join you through Mr. Chief's magical journey? Fear not, intrepid Space Marines: I have the answers you seek.
No matter the time, there will always be crime. Recently, 505 games announced that Overkill will be bringing their jewel, PAYDAY 2, to the current gen consoles as an all new edition.
The post E3 2014 commotion has died down, which means it's time to see some new games. On the docket this week are a handful of titles - from movie tie-ins, PC ports to sequels.
We headed to the top of Ubisoft's E3 booth with Martin Hultberg, IP Developer at Ubisoft Massive to talk Tom Clancy's The Division. Who are the player characters and how can players change the world through their actions? I find out how the hud relates to those who you're playing with, and how you can coordinate your strategic plans with allies. And we dive into how playing on the tablet will provide a full experience of the game. Check it out:
The Sniper Elite series is one of those underrated co-op games out there. It seems to slip under the radar whenever a new version is released, perhaps, it's fitting given the thematic nature of the games. This year though the 3rd full game in the series, Sniper Elite 3, is really stepping things up with plenty of new co-op options. Full campaign co-op and survival for two players set in the North African campaign of World War 2. There will be kill cams, oh yes, there will.
Jumpin' high, grinding on roller coaster rails, and blasting away mutants with just about any gun your mind can think of sounds likes a good time. But doing that with seven of your friends? Sign us right up. We got a hands on with Sunset Overdrive's single player at E3, and learned about its eight player Chaos Squad co-op mode.
We're still churning through video interviews from E3 2014, and there's plenty of content yet to bring. Expect more videos to show up for the next week with titles like Sunset Overdrive, The Division and many more. Today we've got a huge one - we talk with Turtle Rock Studio's Co-Founder Chris Ashton and get all of the details on Evolve and it's co-op gameplay.
Nick and Justin had a chance to check out Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel after we had a nice sit down in their moon base. Some changes to the Borderlands formula are in place as setting the game on the moon make for some interesting gameplay mechanics. Oxygen is a limited resource, but don't worry it is used mainly for double jumps. Speaking of which because you're on the moon and gravity isn't the supreme ruler, all characters jump WAY higher. This simple adjustment makes combat quite different and the level layout is definitely more vertical. Anyways, here is a quick video of the boys playing on the show floor. WARNING: May contain joy-puke.
