The latest edition of E3 is set to kick off Tuesday, but as usual
video game companies are using the days prior to the event to make big
splash announcements and deliver their own keynotes. This year was no
exception with Bethesda and EA delivering the goods, with more to come
tomorrow from the likes of Microsoft (Xbox One S, anyone?), Ubisoft and
Sony. Here's an overview of the best trailers and teasers released thus
far without having to go through gimmicky reveal keynotes.
Prey
Prey 2 is now Prey, and it's an entirely new game after getting
cancelled in 2012. The Prey franchise -- if you can call it that -- sure
has a rocky and storied past, the trailer looks interesting but we'll
see what happens as we get closer to release in 2017. The game is coming
to PC, PS4 and Xbox One.
Battlefield 1
This one looks as action packed as it can get, the trailer gives a
peek at some varied scenery and amazing graphics. Certainly looking
forward to testing this one on PC, dynamic weather and all. Coming
October 21.
Fifa 17
In the never-ending Fifa vs. PES saga, it appears EA has been the
dominant player the last few rounds. After almost a decade Fifa is
getting a new engine, inheriting Battlefield's Frostbite engine. Coming
September 29, EA still has plenty of time to polish the game, as some
clever Youtubers noticed it looks like Frostbite has literally frozen the goal nets in this trailer.
Skyrim Special Edition
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is being remastered for PC and latest-gen
consoles. The way-way-prettier special edition will be available free
of charge for owners of the original Skyrim and all its add-ons or if
you bought the Legendary Edition on Steam. Coming October 28.
Quake Champions
id games are back and a new Quake game is coming. Presented as an
upcoming "competitive multiplayer arena shooter," details are scarce
with more promised to come in August at Quakecon. Initial reactions are
divided between excitement for a Quake comeback after
Doom's
successful run, and people bashing it for following the current
class-based trend, which is more Overwatch and less classic Quake.
Dishonored 2
Arkane showed off some Dishonored 2 gameplay reprising the role of a
supernatural assassin. As in the first game the player has access to
supernatural powers, but the upgrading system has been changed to a
skill tree with multiple paths and more possible upgrades. Players can
choose whether to play stealthily or not, there will also be a "third"
path which hasn't been disclosed yet. Coming November 11.
Titanfall 2
Grappling hook galore. Titanfall 2 is coming October 28 with
multiplayer and single-player trailers (below) to give you a preview of what's to come.
