Madden NFL 18

It is difficult for the Russian soul to understand the passion of Americans for this sport. Well, a crowd of pumped-up men are running around the field with a tiny ball, what’s wrong with that? Nevertheless, this is a very popular sport overseas, and the Madden series has many fans for whom, apparently, simply running around with a ball in their arms is not enough: give them drama. We understand that this is why in NFL 18 we decided to rely on a story mode with a sometimes dramatic story about chasing a dream.

Battlefield 1: In The Name of the Tsar

The addition will transfer military operations to the eastern front, add 6 new maps, 11 types of weapons, update the fleet of armored vehicles and much more. Heck, players will even be able to fly the Ilya Muromets multi-engine bomber! But the most important innovation is the ability to play as fighting women from the “Women’s Death Battalion”, each of which is capable of strangling the Kaiser’s soldiers with their bare hands.

FIFA 18

To be honest, FIFA doesn't surprise me like it used to. From year to year the series does not change much, except that it increases the polygons and increases the quality of textures. However, loyal fans will be interested to know that the notorious Alex Hunter, who is being talked about all over the world, is returning to the game. According to rumors, he is planning to move to another club... Scandals. Intrigue.

A Way Out

Quite a promising game being developed by the studio Hazelight, founded by craftsmen who worked on. The plot of the game tells about two guys who were brought together by a difficult situation in prison. Neither of them wants to drop soap in the shower, so the duo decides to run away.

As in , a rather unusual cooperative mode will be implemented, forcing both heroes to act extremely harmoniously in order to solve the assigned tasks and beat the guards and cellmates in the faces.

Anthem

Honestly, the crooked one left such a nasty aftertaste that now a loud announcement from BioWare somehow subconsciously perceived with a fair amount of skepticism. Nevertheless, one cannot deny the fact that this RPG about brave mercenaries in super-suits fighting all sorts of monsters on a beautiful but dangerous planet looks damn attractive. Canadians promise a living and constantly changing world, dynamic weather, an advanced role-playing system, and co-op. Keep in mind that with Andromeda, the studio fell apart with loud promises.

Star Wars: Battlefront 2

We were more impressed (the author of the lines so accurately) not by the presentation of the game itself, which showed both Wookiees and Yoda, and the scale of the war that had unfolded, but by the square jaw of the actress who played the role of the most accurate stormtrooper in the history of the Galactic Empire. Well, the rest, in fact, no one expected from DICE something else.

As everyone thought, it will be an incredibly beautiful, technologically advanced and extremely large-scale action movie in the universe Star Wars, in which players can take on the roles of famous heroes, clattering droids and nameless soldiers of the Imperial war machine.

Microsoft

IN Microsoft not only finally presented their new console, which, contrary to expectation, is called not Xbox Scorpio, A Xbox One X(abbreviation X.B.O.X- this is simply GENIUS!), but they also showed a lot interesting games. I was pleased that Phil “Talking Drake” Spencer didn’t say a word about TV. I was disappointed by the price tag for the new console of $500, which is a full $100 more expensive PS4 Pro, which also supports 4K and, unlike Xbox One X, has many exclusives.

Forza Motorsport 7

During the presentation, they advertised not so much the game itself as they praised the capabilities of the new Xbox One X, which can produce honest 4K resolution at 60 frames per second. True, Microsoft did say that the fleet will have over 700 iron horses, including the latest models Porsche.

Metro: Exodus

After a six-year lull, the authors of one of the most technologically advanced games created by immigrants from the CIS countries (and indeed a game that can honestly be called a game) have finally burst out with a loud announcement and an equally stunning trailer. According to the plot, Artyom and the company decide to rush from post-nuclear Moscow as far as possible: to the Far East, which, perhaps, did not suffer so much from the consequences of bombing and radiation. Now we know under what conditions life outside the Moscow Ring Road will become possible.

Over these past years 4A Games She didn’t sit idly by at all, but worked on the most ambitious project of the series: apparently, the boring tunnels will become a thing of the past as much as possible, and their place will be taken by chilling forays onto the surface of the world, which is now dominated by mutants. “Stalkering” will take place both day and night, and the game will unfold throughout the year - we will see the change of seasons. The developers also promise a moral choice in the game, which will influence the ending of the game. We hope with all our might that these dramatic dilemmas will be somewhat different from the “if you don’t give coins to beggars, you won’t see a happy ending” mechanics developed over the past two games.

Assassins Creed Origins

The action of the new part of Assassins Creed will take place in Egypt. This unexpected turn was revealed to us by a Microsoft presentation. Players will have to help the last of the Medjays, named Ba Yek, deal with all the Egyptian evildoers and reveal the secrets of the ancient pyramids.

IN Ubisoft finally moved into role-playing games, adding to Origins the ability to upgrade the hero and his abilities, and also making it so that from carcasses defeated enemies bows, swords and other useful rubbish fell out. In addition, players will be able to improve equipment in every possible way or craft new ones. But otherwise, Ubisoft’s promises look pretty predictable: more peace, smarter AI, better combat system and blah blah blah.

The Darwin Project

"King of the Hill". This is a game about brutal competition in which a group of oddballs fight to the death in various arenas using axes, bows and arrows, swords, as well as force fields and devices that make the heroes completely invisible.

Ori and the Will of the Wisps

A fabulous platformer about a long-eared creature, a continuation of the original. The first game was very well received by players who appreciated its great design, amazing musical arrangement and a good story. The sequel promises to be no worse. At least that's what we hope.

Bethesda

Alas, Bethesda did not announce , which everyone has been so hotly discussing over the past few days in anticipation of the exhibition, but showed other, no less interesting games.

DOOM VFR

It seems to be an abbreviation for Virtual Fucking Reality, but not a fact. Players take on the role of a cyborg, capable of transferring their consciousness between various devices and mechanisms throughout the UAC complex. And this is very useful for solving puzzles and trying to stop the hordes of demons pouring into the material world, which turned the entire human staff of the complex into a bloody mess on the floor and scraps on the walls. As the name suggests, VFR is built for devices virtual reality.

Dishonored: Death of the Outsider

This standalone expansion will allow players to take on the role of Megan Foster when she was in her prime and known as Billie Lurk. Having found her mentor, Daud, Megan sets off on the most dangerous mission of her life, the goal of which is to kill the Alien ( The Outsider). Megan's zeal is driven by a desire to atone for her many sins. In the expansion, players will be able to try out a whole new set of abilities on new opponents and learn more about Karnak and its inhabitants.

The Evil Within 2

Tango Gameworks and master of horror Shinji Mikami are preparing a continuation of the nightmare story about detective Sebastian Castellanos, who will once again plunge into the world of pain and horror, trying to save his little daughter Lily... This is all fine, but just look at what a gorgeous trailer the developers have put together!

Wolfenstein 2: The New Colossus

This is a continuation of the adventures of B.J. Blaskowitz, during which he will send even more fascists back to the Kaiser, learn to control mechanical dogs, become more active in close combat, and also try to rekindle the flames of the American Revolution with his new and old friends. The game is created on the engine id Tech 6, which means that the blood splatter will be thicker and the explosions will be brighter.

Ubisoft

The French publisher has outdone itself this year by releasing several very spectacular and promising games, against which the mutant does not look so grotesque.

Skull and Bones

The presenter babbled for a long time about the life expectancy of pirates while viewers were recovering from a spectacular CGI trailer for this new tactical action game in which players control pirate crews squabbling with each other for treasure. Apparently, Ubisoft has finally realized that the best thing that has happened to the Assassins Creed series over the past few years is naval battles.

Beyond Good and Evil 2

Michel Ansen made many people cry during the exhibition by bringing to the conference a spectacular cinematic trailer of this long-term construction, which many no longer dreamed of seeing, and even more people, probably, have already died of old age. It’s just a pity that Michel didn’t reveal any details regarding the project. It is only known that the events of the game will unfold long before the events of the original, and the setting will be “System 3”.

Sony

Many expected that Sony will give Microsoft in the gut, reducing the price of the PS4 Pro, which would undoubtedly turn the Xbox One X into a stillborn project. But this did not happen. Instead, Sony presented a whole bunch of projects for its virtual reality muzzle and several titans that will help significantly increase PS4 Pro sales.

Horizon: Zero Dawn - The Frozen Wilds

The ending of the original Zero Dawn clearly hinted at an inevitable continuation, but we were more looking forward to the announcement of a full-fledged second part. Although, on the other hand, a large-scale addition will also do.

The heroine goes to the snowy mountains to find out more about her world, about its past and about the terrible secrets that ancient machines keep. There are few details, but we can safely assume that new equipment, new enemies, new characters and another plot twist that will interrupt the storyline at the most interesting point await us.

Days Gone

As part of the exhibition, they showed an impressive demo in which the hero rode a motorcycle, shot dogs, set zombies on enemies and fought with some poor people. It already looks very large-scale, opening up a lot of opportunities for players to overcome certain difficulties. Add to that the insanely beautiful picture and you have one good reason to shell out for the PS4 Pro.

Shadow of the Colossus

This was expected, but still incredibly pleasant. One of the most beautiful and best games in the history of digital entertainment, which first appeared on the already revived PS2, will receive a full re-release for PS4. The good news is that no matter how diligently the game is covered with new textures and expanded in width for modern diagonals, nothing will affect its unique atmosphere.

The Inpatient

Sony is betting heavily on virtual reality. The company’s zeal can be understood, because in our memory worth playing There have not yet been any that would justify the purchase of a far from cheap virtual reality muzzle, and an enormous amount of money has been poured into the technology.

And just then an announcement from the studio arrived Supermassive Games. The game belongs to the same universe as , although its action takes place 60 years before the events of the interactive thriller about stupid teenagers who became victims of cruel monsters.

Skyrim VR

Another project for those who bought a VR headset and now don’t know what to do with it. includes all the DLC that came out for the original. Moreover, this edition promises to be ideally optimized for virtual reality helmets, making walks through Skyrim truly unforgettable.

Detroit: Become Human

Mechanical slaves started a revolution and tried to rebel against their creators. Just like in other games from Quantic Dream, players will constantly be faced with difficult moral choices that can significantly affect the development of the storyline.

God of War

The game promises to reveal new, previously unknown sides of the personality of the cruel Spartan Kratos, who in the old days dragged Zeus himself by his beard around Olympus. Now the killer of the gods has moved to Scandinavia, grown old and has a kind and inquisitive son, who does not share his father’s love of violence and bloodshed, but must understand that in a cruel world only greater cruelty can save him from death.

Overall, E3 2017 left a lot of positive impressions. A lot of good games, a lot of interesting announcements and so little time to play it all.

Recently Electronic Arts reported that in The Sims 4 content inspired by Islamic culture will appear. Muslim clothing will be added to the game, including the hijab. This decision caused controversy among some players, who accused EA of hypocrisy. “EA had a policy of not adding religious things to the game. The company did not want to single out any religion. And now they showed us a new update, in which there is Muslim clothing. Islam is a religion. That is, they made the clothes that Muslims wear. That is, they did what they promised not to do. Islam is not a secular culture, but a religion. If they added clothes in the spirit of Middle Eastern culture, there would be no complaints,” noted a user under the nickname Horrorgirl6 and added that he is a Christian and is unlikely to see elements of this religion in the game. A discussion about religions broke out on the forum, but soon the moderator reminded that discussing politics and religion was prohibited, and demanded that users stop discussing this topic. Now there is no point in discussing the innovation regarding Muslim clothing on The Sims 4 forums. The forum moderator under the nickname Mai noted that the system will not randomly generate Sims in Muslim clothing. However, some people noted that the appearance of elements of only one religion in The Sims 4 will negatively affect the atmosphere of the project.

So, how do you like E3?

Let me explain for the uninitiated, E3 is an annual event and, without exaggeration, the most important event in the gaming industry. Within a few days, famous game studios are announcing their future projects. Some show only a teaser, others are generous in broadcasting the gameplay.

These are not hour-and-a-half presentations by Apple; the exhibition actually stretches over several days, invariably attracting crowds of fans. Studios show their creations at different times, according to the schedule. Keeping track of announcements on such a schedule is not the most convenient thing to do, so we have collected all the main releases of E3 2018 in one place.

Here they are, games that will not let you go for the next year and a half.

Cyberpunk 2077

Developer: CD Projekt RED

Platforms: PC, Xbox One, PS4

Release date: N/A

Why play: Polish developers have already given us the brilliant Witcher 3 and the solid first two parts. After the stunning success of the fantasy series, the guys from CD Projekt RED decided not to milk the golden cow, but to switch to new projects.

So their next project is a cyberpunk fantasy of the same name. They've been talking about it for a long time, but at the current E3 we finally saw the first trailer.

I really liked it, it reminds me of Deus Ex and Citadel from Mass Effect. Little is known about the game yet, but 40 minutes of gameplay have already been shown to journalists at a closed screening. The reviews were enthusiastic, many noted the similarities with Deus Ex, Crysis and Witcher 3.

It's a shame that the game won't be released this year. We hope for a release in 2019.
