Despite all of this information being out there, Playground Games made no announcements over a new Fable . Xbox's press conference featured some top news as it relates to the Gears of War and Halo franchises, which seemed like the perfect lead up to a Fable announcement. There was also an opportunity to score some major points given that Sony skipped the event altogether.
Having gone quiet since the release of their last big titles, Dishonored 2 and Death of the Outsider , Arkane Studios returned this year to premiere the first trailer for its newest IP called Deathloop . The stylish and action-heavy trailer reveals two characters who appear to be in constant conflict with one another in a never-ending loop on Blackreef isl
Considering that Xbox currently can't boast many big-name exclusives that really sell what its next-generation venture is all about, it makes sense for the company to go to these guys all out on Fable 4 and show it before the launch of its newest console. That's not to say the game should be rushed to be a launch title for the Series X; nobody wants the game to not reach its potential purely for the sake of creating hype for the Serie
Overall, E3 2019 did a solid job of shining a spotlight on a variety of upcoming horror games that are coming in 2019 and beyond. With GhostWire: Tokyo , we may have even gotten our first glimpse at a next-gen horror game, and so there should be plenty of frights in store for gamers in the fut
Meanwhile, Microsoft can't boast the same number of significant system sellers. Halo: Infinite is undeniably a massive draw, but it's far from something entirely new for the franchise, especially with Microsoft continuing to pump out fairly frequent Halo titles over the past decade. Naturally, Xbox could provide followups to titles like Crackdown 3, Sea of Thieves, and Recore, but very few of these games managed to impress players or build giant fanbases when they launched during the Xbox One's life cy
Supermassive Games debuted on the horror scene in a big way with the hit PS4 exclusive Until Dawn . Despite frequent delays and originating as a PlayStation Move-only game, Until Dawn defied expectations in 2016 and remains one of the most highly-regarded horror games of recent years. Supermassive has continued to release horror titles since its success with Until Dawn , but none have quite had the scope as The Dark Pictures Anthology: Man of Med
At the beginning of the Square Enix E3 2019 presentation, fans received a very long glimpse at the Final Fantasy 7 Remake . A lengthy trailer also provided another glimpse at the game including the new combat mechanics , boss battles, and previously unrevealed characters like Tifa Lockhart and Sephiroth. The trailer helped win over many fans who were worried about the game's lengthy development cycle and phased roll out pl
An easy contender for Microsoft's biggest game for 2020, Halo: Infinite , returned to E3 this past summer and received a featured spot at the very end of its annual press conference. The new cinematic footage was more story-centric than the prior year's atmospheric tease and revealed an unnamed UNSC pilot discovering Master Chief floating in space. After reviving the iconic hero, a mysterious yellow lightning strikes the USNC Pelican, prompting Master Chief to grab a gun and jump out of the ship. For fans wanting more, Microsoft is essentially putting Halo Infinite back on ice until E3 2020 ahead of its holiday 2020 launch on Project Scarlett. We'll be ready for the next update whenever it arrives over the sum
E3 2019 gave us another look at the "reverse horror game" Carrion , where players get to play as the monster. While this may make the game less scary, it has no shortage of disturbing visuals, and that combined with its eerie atmosphere should still make the game rather unnerving. It will be exciting to see if the final product lives up to the hype, and if the concept of a "reverse horror game" has widespread app
However, fans want the promise of fantastic games from innovational franchises as they look towards Xbox's future and what better way to establish that than to show off an enhanced reboot of the Fable series running on next-generation hardware. No matter if it releases two years into the console's cycle, the promise of a game like Fable 4 would do a lot to convince fans they should invest in Microsoft if revealed in the next few mon
Other leaks spoke to a first/third-person perspective, which seemed pretty exciting - there was a reveal on a completely open world and a fresh multiplayer too. The game is also said to run on Unreal Engine, while players will be able to grow their hero status without paying attention to the main quest, although the building of towns could impact it in some way. Rather not so excitingly, it was also claimed that there would be no firearms whatsoever, but that's hardly supposed to be an issue.
2019 turned out to be a year full of surprise game reveals and updates on projects that have been in the pipeline for a long time, so there were a ton of great trailers dropped throughout the year. Now that the year is coming to an end, it's the perfect time to look back at all of the trailers dropped at E3, BlizzCon , Toyko Game Show, and every Nintendo and PlayStation direct press conference and determine which ones stand out as the best of the y
