So many games on display, from the 60-something Xbox revealed on day one to the flurry of announcements during the Nintendo Direct; it\u2019s no surprise that we\u2019re on the verge of yet another game-pocalypse. But what\u00a0<em>really<\/em>\u00a0caught my eye? What got me saying \u201c<em>This<\/em>\u00a0game has already taken my breath away \u2013 even more so than Keanu Reeves does \u2013 and I cannot wait to play it!\u201d Well, that\u2019s why I\u2019ve amassed a little list; just a bouquet garni of titles that helped season the E3 soup and make 2019 an extra special show.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The caveat here is I only picked games that were fully revealed at E3 (as far as I know), which excludes exciting announcements like&nbsp;<em>Watch Dogs: Legion<\/em>. Another surprise reveal,&nbsp;<em>Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga<\/em>&nbsp;was excluded due to the fact that while it&nbsp;<em>is<\/em>&nbsp;new in the sense that full dialogue has been added and the graphics look better, it\u2019s essentially the same&nbsp;<em>Lego Star Wars<\/em>&nbsp;we all know and love. Furthermore, I left out the Xbox Ultimate Game Pass announcement \u2013 even though it was my&nbsp;<strong>favorite<\/strong>&nbsp;thing about E3 2019 \u2013 simply because\u2026 it isn\u2019t a game. But definitely check that out if you\u2019re an Xbox owner<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now that I\u2019ve cleared all that up, it\u2019s time to shine the spotlight on some future games you may have missed at this year\u2019s show.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/losharrow.files.wordpress.com\/2019\/06\/12.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">1.&nbsp;<em>Twelve Minutes<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At first glance, I thought&nbsp;<em>12 Minutes<\/em>&nbsp;was a film trailer, which took me by surprise during the Xbox press conference. As it went on, I continued to believe in my assumption, as the top-down style made for a hyper-realistic scene, complete with a dramatic story that tugged on my heartstrings within the first 30 seconds. I recall just sitting there, mouth agape, head in my hands, wondering what this could be. As its game-like nature became more apparent, I knew&nbsp;<em>12 Minutes<\/em>&nbsp;would be my game of the show, and sure enough, it left me more confused and impressed than anything else I saw at E3.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>12 Minutes<\/em>\u00a0follows a man caught in a time loop, as he repeatedly tries to save his wife from a hitman. I admittedly don\u2019t know very much about the plot or the gameplay at all, and I\u2019m honestly trying to stay as in the dark as possible, but from the reveal trailer alone, the narrative seems dramatic and tense, with moments of joy and utter darkness scattered between the events. Scenes flashed across the screen of break-ins, dancing, brawling, love-making, and bloodshed, and all the while I sat there completely stupefied. I can\u2019t recall the last time a game trailer left me with such bewilderment and an urge this strong to play it. Annapurna Interactive certainly has another indie darling on its hands, and I fully intend to champion its existence \u2019til the day it\u2019s installed on my console.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/vgu.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/8-1.png?ssl=1\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">2.&nbsp;<em>Final Fantasy VIII Remastered<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Don\u2019t ask me for a reason as to why I love&nbsp;<em>Final Fantasy VIII<\/em>&nbsp;so much. To be honest, I can\u2019t recall playing it that long, let alone beating it. It\u2019s one of those games where nostalgia fuels the memories more than actual credibility does, similar to how most people view&nbsp;<em>Final Fantasy VII<\/em>&nbsp;\u2013 a game that is receiving a full-fledged remake from the ground up. One thing\u2019s for sure, however, and that\u2019s the fact that I remember&nbsp;<em>VIII<\/em>\u2018s combat being more enjoyable and its overall tone is easier to swallow than&nbsp;<em>VII<\/em>\u2018s. This always drew me closer to Squall and the gang, and even years later with the&nbsp;<em>Dissidia<\/em>&nbsp;games, I found myself falling in love with&nbsp;<em>VIII<\/em>&nbsp;once again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Imagine my surprise when Square Enix\u2019s 2019 press conference dropped the revelation that is\u00a0<em>Final Fantasy VIII Remastered<\/em>, a glorious HD rendition of a game my heart holds dear\u2026 for seemingly no reason. While the announcement alone excited the child within me, seeing this graphical overhaul before my very eyes made the 22-year-old video game enthusiast in me audibly scream in excitement, as I\u2019ll finally be able to complete this game with the experience I now have, in the modern era with controls and visuals that do it all justice. Even though it\u00a0<em>is<\/em>\u00a0just a remaster \u2013 which pales in comparison to the juggernaut that is the\u00a0<em>FFVII Remake<\/em>\u00a0\u2013 I\u2019m extremely grateful for this installment finally getting some love, and I\u2019d be a downright fool to complain about these stunning enhancements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/losharrow.files.wordpress.com\/2019\/06\/chivalry.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Chivalry II<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Probably the most \u201cwhat the fuuu-\u201d announcement of E3 2019, Chivalry II caught me completely by surprise. Having just built my own gaming PC, and undergone months of grueling labor trying to get all my parts to work together, I finally have a system that runs (thank you to the five brave gentlemen who gave their lives, busting their ass over this machine). Now with this rig, I can finally play the games featured in the PC Gaming Show, so I tuned into their press conference this year. About halfway through the show, a certain trailer flew by that brought memories soaring through my psyche.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A little tubby boy comes home from a stressful day, Sophomore Year, and he lays on his stomach in his tiny bedroom, hopping onto TeamSpeak on his mom\u2019s crappy laptop, ready to play some Chivalry with the boys at the lowest resolution possible. It was stuttery and difficult as all hell on a trackpad, but dammit, the boy was having a fun time. Fast forward to 2019, and that boy\u2019s watching the reveal of a sequel to the game that kept his social life alive, oh, seven years ago. He shouts aloud, texts those buddies he\u2019s barely seen since high school, and says, \u201cGUYSSS. THE FEELS.\u201d Needless to say, that boy (i.e. me) is pretty excited for more bloody medieval brawls, and I\u2019ll finally get to see those beautiful textures in all their glory on a computer built to handle it. Isn\u2019t adulthood a wonderful thing?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/losharrow.files.wordpress.com\/2019\/06\/out-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">4.&nbsp;<em>Outriders<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Strangely, this pick also comes from a nostalgic place in my heart, and it brings up a unique point as to why E3 2019 was so amazing in its own right. While I\u2019ve seen a lot of lackluster fanfare regarding this year\u2019s reveals and announcements, I personally found it exciting because it finally gave these games and developers of my past a chance to be reborn. While some games got long-overdue sequels or remasters that will reignite the passion I had for them so long ago, other games got successors in the form of brand-new IP\u2019s from studios that made me the game-lover I am today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Arkane Studios, for example, revealed\u00a0<em>Deathloop<\/em>. This game comes in the wake of\u00a0<em>Prey<\/em>\u00a0and the\u00a0<em>Dishonored<\/em>\u00a0franchise, which I cherish dearly. While it looked incredible, another title caught my eye, and its mysterious nature is what earned itself a spot on my list.\u00a0<em>Outriders<\/em>, from People Can Fly, seems to be a futuristic title that combines magic in a post-apocalyptic world, with what I assume is three-player co-op. The reveal trailer at the Square Enix conference was cryptic and short \u2013 not to mention cinematic and completely unrepresentative of the final game \u2013 but its existence alone got me excited. This is People Can Fly we\u2019re talking about, makers of\u00a0<em>Bulletstorm<\/em>, one of my favorite games of all time. If\u00a0<em>Outriders<\/em>\u00a0has a\u00a0<em>third<\/em>\u00a0of the humor\u00a0<em>Bulletstorm<\/em>\u00a0is known for, or even just similar shooting mechanics, I\u2019m so down. With a bigger team now and some room to spread their wings (no pun intended), it\u2019ll be fascinating to see how People Can Fly handles this new endeavor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/losharrow.files.wordpress.com\/2019\/06\/lies.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">5.&nbsp;<em>Telling Lies<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another new title shown at the PC Gaming Show,&nbsp;<em>Telling Lies<\/em>&nbsp;piqued my interest for a number of reasons. First and foremost, it\u2019s made by the man who created&nbsp;<em>Her Story<\/em>, Sam Barlow. While I\u2019ve yet to play&nbsp;<em>Her Story<\/em>, I know that it follows a woman\u2019s confession to the police through evidence the player sorts through, including files and video diaries. It\u2019s like a walking simulator without the walking or a visual novel with less reading. Let\u2019s face it, it\u2019s an interactive movie. But the concept is so gripping because the player essentially controls the flow of the story, and with this added layer of interactivity, it makes for a game like no other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That is, until&nbsp;<em>Telling Lies<\/em>&nbsp;emerged from the shadows. This game seems to follow multiple people, all bound to together by \u201ca lie.\u201d The player accesses a database of files and sifts through each character\u2019s video messages and personal documents to piece together a much larger storyline. What drew me in here is how \u201c<em>Unfriended<\/em>\u201d this game looks. As a massive fan of that movie, I thought it was crazy to see the cursor onscreen rummaging through a simulated desktop and searching for clues amongst the folders and software. It looks much broader than&nbsp;<em>Her Story<\/em>, with a lot more things to do in order to track down the real story at hand. I knew I was hooked by the end of the trailer, and its 2019 release window certainly has me anxious to play this any day now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\" \/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So what did we learn today? While E3 begins to dwindle in stature and attendee numbers, the quality of games lives up to the hype. It\u2019s also quite fascinating to me that while the age of \u201cone-of-a-kind\u201d indies may be over, what with the small games industry starting to copy each other\u2019s work, those independent pioneers are finding new ways to expand and become something more with sequels and updated ideas to rejuvenate their previous concepts. There are a lot of awesome indies on the horizon that were mentioned at E3 this year, and I excluded them because I talked about them in my&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/losharrow.wordpress.com\/2019\/05\/28\/top-10-of-pax-east-2019\/?wref=tp\">PAX piece<\/a>&nbsp;a couple months back (<em>Starstruck<\/em>,&nbsp;<em>The Sinking City<\/em>, and&nbsp;<em>The Inner Friend<\/em>&nbsp;were highlights).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This doesn\u2019t mean the AAA industry is failing either, though, as remasters and brand new projects from old favorites were revealed, and games like\u00a0<em>Rainbow Six Quarantine<\/em>\u00a0\u2013 which I\u2019m super excited about \u2013 aim to flip the genre on its head to keep players guessing. The games industry is thriving in 2019 and beyond, and while I could have talked about so many more fun E3 revelations (Patrice Desilets\u2019s new game\u00a0<em>Ancestors: The Humankind Odyssey<\/em>\u00a0finally got a release date of August 27!), I chose to only narrow it down to those that blew my mind. So I hope your mind was blown, as well. Isn\u2019t that what E3 is all about?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">-Written by Graydon Webb<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(Originally published June 25, 2019) E3 2019 was\u00a0massive.
