10 Most Anticipated Games Of E3 2017
Fable 2 was set 500 years after the original story, and Fable 3 set only 50 years after the second game. The game's creator, Peter Molyneux told IGN that the time jumps between each Adventure Games treasure maps time periods were a "big mistake" and so I'm confident that Playground Games may honour that thinking and just send things back to simplicity. I'd like to see a game set somewhere in those 500 years but through a story that doesn't deteriorate the lore for Fable 2 an
The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim is a game that bleeds with interactive lore, with players picking up books about Argonian erotica or backstories on different cities. The Witcher, Assassin's Creed Valhalla, Cyberpunk 2077, all have in-game notes to find that add even more information of the world to your lore memory bank. But with Fable, if memory serves me correctly, the lore was tucked away on an external official website rather than available in-g
There may be iconic silent protagonists such as Crash Bandicoot and Gordon Freeman, but these I feel like Fable needs to have some in-depth voice acting for a protagonist this time around. The other games have all had a silent protagonist who only seems to communicate in emotes. The original game lacked even a scr
From Death Stranding to Visceral's mysterious Star Wars game, these are the 10 games we missed the most at E3 2017. Hopefully these games make an appearance at next year's show, as they would all go a long way in making E3 2018 an event to remem
Fable was always a game that felt like you were actually building a character how you wanted. At least in terms of shaping your path and justifying moral choices. But you were kind of tied down to the armour available in the game's world. And while that in itself was okay, I think I'd like to have the choice to visit a blacksmith and customize my armour and weapons' appeara
Whereas most of Pokemon Red and Blue is family-friendly as can be, there is one section of the game that may have given young fans nightmares back in the 90s. Lavender Town is the strangest city in all of the Kanto region, home to the Pokemon Tower, itself a massive structure dedicated to dead Pokemon. While exploring the Pokemon Tower, players are attacked by ghosts that can't be seen without special technology, and also have to deal with some unsettling background music that effectively sets Lavender Town's eerie t
Not entirely encouraging, is it? And yet, that message is the first thing that greets players who boot up the game, every single time they do so (though it can, thankfully, be skipped). Consider it foreshadowing. The Journey is regularly interrupted with control tutorials - almost constantly at first, less frequently as it progres
Scary moments in non-horror games can sometimes be even scarier than horror games themselves, as they are often unexpected or stand at odds with the tone of the rest of the game. As a result, these scary moments tend to linger with the player long after the game is over, even if the rest of the experience wasn't sc
We've all seen action movies where the hero shows up just in time to prevent nuclear bombs being dropped on the United States. Well, the Fallout series is set in a world where that hero never showed up. What makes the Fallout games particularly good source material for a movie adaptation isn't so much the story, but the setting. When the dust clears, America is a blasted wasteland occupied by small pockets of life including bandits, monsters, slavers, weird cults, military factions like the Enclave and the Brotherhood of Steel, and a whole lot of regular people just trying to scratch a living. For the right filmmaker, this world could be the perfect backdrop for an original story set in the Fallout unive
With prosthetic limbs becoming ever more advanced, the world of cyberpunk shooter series Deus Ex is starting to seem like a realistic vision of the future. As human beings start to use technology to evolve their own biology, the player is faced with some hard choices regarding what the future of the human race should look like, and how it should be governed. The original Deus Ex is still the pinnacle of the series, but Deus Ex: Human Revolution was the title that really demonstrated just how great a movie adaptation could l
Anyone who's seen a Mad Max movie will easily be able to spot the direct influence of those films in Borderlands , Gearbox Software's colorful, cel shaded open world role-playing shooter. The alien planet of Pandora is a dangerous wasteland and pretty much everyone who lives there is insane, but that's all part of its charm. The plot of the games follows groups of fortune seekers who are trying to track down mysterious Vaults full of immensely powerful alien technology, and we'd love to see a filmmaker tackle both the offbeat humor and the treasure-hunting quest at the heart of the Borderlands ser
The roads of Albion are littered with glowing Experience Orbs which can be used to power up Gabriel's magical abilities. Green orbs can be picked up at any speed, blue orbs must be picked up when Seren is moving slowly, and Red Orbs require her to be at a full gallop. It's hard enough to get Seren to travel in a straight line, much less carefully navigate the road to collect orbs. There are also obstacles to avoid and rough patches of road that must (initially) be traversed slowly lest Seren get hurt, making the whole enterprise that much more frustrating. Driving the horse and buggy is The Journey's first and biggest fail
