Naughty Dog's The Last of Us Part 2 Gameplay Reveal Trailer showcased the studio's talent for uncomfortably realistic voice acting, natural-looking character models, and dramatic storytelling. But that was to be expected, at least for anyone familiar with Naughty Dog's body of work. What really made the trailer special is its perfect synchrony with the original game's weighty emotional core. The early cinematic gently and beautifully confirms Ellie's sexuality, a stark reminder of the time passed since we last saw El

While there were tons of intriguing fighter present at E3 this year like Super Smash Bros. Ultimate , Dead or Alive 6 , and Jump Force , none impressed us more than SoulCalibur VI from Bandai Namco Entertainment. A combination excellent presentation and the implementation of mechanics that make this entry feel like a return to form for the series wowed us enough for it to take top spot for Best Fighting Game at E3 2

It's due to its now-delayed release window that Ghost Of Tsushima Guide|Https://Tsushimalegend.Com/ of Tsushima will instead be instead focused on at the as-yet-unannounced PlayStation Meeting 2020. This kind of event could tentatively fall anywhere through 2020. 2016's PlayStation Meeting was in September and focused on the announcement and reveal of the PlayStation Pro console. A PlayStation Meeting 2020 could similarly focus on the PS5, showcasing Ghost of Tsushima as a launch title or as an example of the PS5's potent

Additionally, we normally award our special Biggest Shocker!!! award to the game that catches us most by surprise. And while the trailer for this really did leave our staff hooping and hollering, we couldn't help but give it to the game with literally the biggest Shocker in

"Games are moving around. Feudal Japan just happened to be a place that, as a developer, I know I was eager to spend a lot of time trying to recreate. And as a gamer, I really wanted to play an open-world samurai game. And that's just one excellent place in history - there are so many m

It will definitely be interesting to seen how Sucker Punch being a western developer impacts the feeling and atmosphere of Ghost of Tsushima as a whole, but so far what we've seen looks great. If you want to get more intimately familiar with the game's setting, you can also check out DualShockers' deep dive into the History of Fedual Ja

Seeing it in action, Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice is more vertical and fast-paced than its predecessors. The grappling hook helps you get the advantage on your enemies by surprising them from above. The familiar stamina system is replaced by posture; the goal is to disrupt your enemy’s posture, leading to an opening for a tremendously violent, yet satisfying kill. This isn’t just another Souls -like game. From Software delivers enough changes to its various systems, as well as its setting, that it feels like an entirely new experience while still bringing the difficult experience fans are accusto

With a focus on character inclusivity and fine-tuning on mechanics, this is a game built from the ground-up with the competitive scene in mind. Even better, there seems to be a no-nonsense rule when it comes to new gimmicks. Sure, it may be the only major game that Nintendo brought to their E3 Direct, but it is a show stop

The Elder Scrolls: Blades wasn’t all that surprising of an announcement at E3 following Bethesda’s success with Fallout Shelter but what was surprising was just how great the game played once we tried it for ourselves. Between fluid combat and gorgeous visuals, Blades did more than enough to take home our award for best handheld game at the s

We are fairly far removed from 2016 and 2017 -- the years that every single game on the market had virtual reality baked in to a degree. Now, approaching a strong second-wave of VR titles, Creed: Rise to Glory by developer Survios leads the pack in what it brings to the table. Demoed on the PS VR headset, Creed goes well outside the realm of other motion-based boxing games you may have played before. Implementing phantom exhaustion, interesting mechanics, and the latest in gaming VR technology, I was panting and sweating from one prize-fighter ro

The demonstration shows a good bit of combat, which definitely looks like an evolution for the series, as well as a departure from the familiar techniques of the assassins from prior installments. The player will control a mercenary and employ parries, dodges, and special abilities, like the unbelievably cool "Sparta kick," to dispatch foes. Whether or not the addition of interactive dialogue will be a real game-changer, the trailer for Assassin's Creed Odyssey demands attention by showing off what the series does best: huge, gorgeous worlds to explore, engaging historical narratives, and exciting com

Resident Evil 2: Remake was one of the most surprising reveals of this year’s E3 but this remake seems to be much more than a fresh coat of paint. Utilizing the phenomenal new engine from Resident Evil VII , RE2:R brings in some modern gameplay and graphics while still keeping the core intact of what made the original so great. In a time where the Resident Evil series is in its best position in years, we’re excited to go back to the roots of this franchise early next y
