Main games E3 2018: Fallout 76, Metro Exodus, Doom Eternal and others
The current E3 is one of the most controversial. So the conferences have already died down, and all the trailers showed, and in the community still the passions do not cease. So they are not the games, the characters are not so ... On the game resources except that the fight does not reach. On Habré, I hope, will be quieter. Under the cut a story about the 13 most high-profile announcements of the exhibition.
Shot from Assassin's Creed Odyssey trailer
Let's start with the continuation of the story about Ellie and Joel. Naughty Dog demonstrated the trailer, which caused a storm of indignation. At first they got a kiss from two girls, although the orientation of the main character was known for a long time. Then for the ultra violence in the second half of the video. As the head of the studio, Neil Drakman, explained: “The challenge is for the player to feel rejected to the violence to which he resorts.” Well, they did it.
For the problems of the video players missed a couple of important points. First, the opponents in the game have become smarter. They now call each other by name, talk and whistle. Ellie will not be able to sit in the bushes, you have to constantly move. Secondly, the animation has reached a new level. Naughty Dog continues to lift the bar cinematic.
There is only one problem - the release date is still unknown.
Polish game in the spotlight again. At the presentations, the developers do not allow journalists to play. So it is necessary, as in childhood, "to watch what is happening from behind the brother."
What you need to know about Cyberpunk 2077: the action takes place in an open world in the fictional city of Knight City. The game does not have a specific character, as in The Witcher. Hero at the start, you can adjust the floor, appearance, choose clothes and bleed characteristics. Character classification will receive in the course of the game. It will depend on the player’s choice.
The cyberpunk is really cool shooting mechanics. For example, if you shoot with a shotgun on your legs, the enemy will lose limbs. And if you persistently shoot at the enemy through the wall, then over time it will look like a sieve. Just like in Battlefield.

In this case, the main character is not a walking silent head. The game has enough conversations. And they are clearly made better than in The Witcher 3. And yes, the characters did not stop swearing. In general, the game uses the full 18+ rating and encourages freedom of action, like Deus Ex.
Night City is a huge city, divided into six districts, each of which is different from the other. The only thing that claims are being made now is a first-person view. But in CD Projekt Red they assured: there is enough cut-scenes in the game, where you will see the character from the side.
In general, Cyberpunk still looks like another hit. We advise all those who are dissatisfied to maintain their skepticism until the game is released. Release date has not been disclosed.
The Fallout series continues to change. Now this is a MMO about building and a war against mutants and people, which is generally not bad. In the survival genre there is still no normal game. Most remain raw even after release. Compared to the rest, Bethesda looks like a knight on a white horse.
But here it is important to understand: one server is designed for 24-32 people. The world itself is four times more Fallout 4. At the same time, there is always something to do on the map. When the terrain is fully explored, players will be asked to solve a series of puzzles in order to get codes for launching a nuclear rocket. If desired, you can drop it on your neighbor's head and see what happens.
And although Fallout 76 is a multiplayer game, nothing prevents you from playing it alone. With the presence of other people will have to accept. Add-ons for Fallout 76 will be free. But completely without microtransactions will not do (servers also need to somehow contain). For money, you can purchase cosmetic items. They will not affect the balance.
Ubisoft, looking at the suffering of Destiny 2, does everything to please fans of MMO shooters. The first part came out quite successful. The second promises to be no worse. Moreover, the first three major additions will be free. And this is in addition to the desire of developers to release the coolest endgame content in the genre. After such statements, Ubisoft would like to wish you good luck. Because if they fail, the fans will eat them alive.
The Division 2 will be released on February 15, 2019 on PS4, Xbox One and PC.
About the new Doom little is known. The main thing is that he will be at all. Judging by the trailer, the place of action will be the Earth, and the number of demons, like their variety, will only increase. More details promise to reveal at QuakeCon in August.

Release DMC 5 is scheduled for spring 2019.
Another game of the cult franchise, about which not so much is known. At E3, Ubisoft only showed a CG trailer. And he's talking about the heroine of the first part - Jade. Only now she is on the side of the dark forces, not good.

The company intends to make the game colorful and fill it with content from different cultures and nations. And for this, she needs help from outside.
Ancient Greece, 431 BC, the Peloponnesian War is brewing. The main character is a descendant of Tsar Leonid, who returns home 17 years later. Aleoxis - if you chose a male character, Cassandra - if female.
According to journalists, the new part of Assassin's Creed with a greater bias in the RPG than ever. For example, in the characters' dialogues there are several options for choosing answers. Heroes can twist novels and play certain roles. Moreover, you can completely change the equipment of the characters (from helmet to boots) and a set of skills. Another of the pieces of the combat system is the Spartan kick of king Leonid from the movie “300 Spartans”. It looks spectacular.
And although Odyssey got its critics because of the similarities with the Origins, those who watched the demo version believe that this will be one of the most beautiful games in the series. The world itself is of enormous size. And yes, traveling by ship will not go anywhere.
Participation in mass battles, the ability to influence the outcome of the Peloponnesian War, sea battles, romantic scenes - Odyssey takes a new course for development. On October 5, we will find out how successful the experiment was.
Hideo Kojima can shoot videos that will be studied under a microscope for a year. At the Sony presentation, he showed 8.5 minutes of gameplay mixed with cut scenes.
What the game will be about, still nobody understands. Now Death Stranding is more like a simulator employee "Mail of Russia". It is unlikely that Norman Reedus himself is aware of this.
In the new video, the cast was added to Lea Seydou and Lindsay Wagner. What roles they identified Kojima, we can only guess. But, as the Japanese game designer says, the participation of Wagner was very important for him. In general, Death Stranding may be the last in his life.
“I put all of myself in Death Stranding. As with all my works, I treat it as the last game in my life, ”- from an interview with The Hollywood Reporter .
Sony is preparing one of the most powerful lines of exclusives in history. Ghost of Tsushima will tell about the events that occurred during the period of the first Mongol invasion of Japan. The main character is a samurai named Dzin Sakai. He intends alone to confront the whole army. And to surpass the occupiers, he uses techniques that samurai did not usually study.
According to the creators, the story of Jin is the story of retribution, formation and hope. In the video, Sucker Punch presented a side quest.

Bethesda prepares two bombs. Starfield will be the first new franchise company after 25 years. Todd Howard, executive director and executive producer of Bethesda Game Studios, claims that you can already play at Starfield. But it’s too early to talk about details yet. It is already known that this will not be a multiplayer, but a single game. And it is for the “next generation” consoles.
As for The Elder Scrolls VI, the developers, apparently, were so fed up with questions about the new part, that they decided to announce it with a short teaser. While the game is in preproduction. So she will obviously not soon. The company itself has already been criticized for a crude announcement. But the soul of fanboy wants to sing. Still, seven years have passed since the release of Skyrim, and it seems that it was like yesterday.
4A Games is preparing to outdo themselves. Metro Exodus is finally moving away from linear levels in favor of huge locations that can be explored and on which there are additional activities. How to complete missions is a player's concern.
The game will also appear craft and a wide variation in weapon modification. The guns, by the way, break. In this case, quickly bungling the necessary cartridges and changing modules during the mission is not a problem. If you find a machine gun with the desired sight, it is not necessary to change the current barrel to a new one. You can simply detach the sight and put on your own. In general, get ready to dig in the trash and collect the ingredients, as in Fallout.
