Pre-E3 Announcements Part One

Morning folks,
With E3 just around corner it's that time of the year where everyone starts announcing new games, show off trailers and of course good old rumours/leaks. So to catch up I decided to do a post series on everything so far and then I should be caught up (fingers crossed). Going to start off with Ubisoft announcing the Farcry sequel, Farcry 4 of course.

Few of my friends was shocked this got announced before E3 but to me it was a brilliant idea, stops people leaking it just before the event. They confirmed it existed and will be present at the conference with all the details, stops a troll from doing a big leak and trying to get a little fame for leaking a big announcement.

Anyway so yes we have a sequel which I will admit I was shocked to see, did not think there be another Farcry just yet. I still not played the third one yet and I do own it thanks to PlayStation Plus, think it's going to be one of those games I need to make time for this summer. Feel like I'm missing out but I got some time before this one comes out since it's slated for start of next year. There are some rumours about leaked story details etc. but I'm not holding my breath about them, wait until the E3 trailer.

So that's one announcement done so what's next? hmm so much to choose from so how about the new Batman Arkham trailer.



How good does that look? I'm talking a serious Game of the Year contender for 2014. Batmobile gameplay looks amazing and Arkham Knight at the end? badass. This is on the top of my list to buy for day one and I cannot wait to see more at this E3, hopefully some very cool limited editions as well will be shown. Would love a Batmobile figurine this time around oh man that would be amazing.

Right I need to continue on and going to end this part of the series with Halo of course, like Farcry they did a small announcement. The image below was put up confirming the full title Halo 5 Guardians and that the game is slated for Fall 2015.

If you remember my old posts I did say I was worried that a lot of the announcements would be for 2015/2016. So having both Farcry and Halo saying 2015 I was really worried, I really do not want to go a full year with only a few games. Don't get me wrong there are good amount of games coming out but it has been months since the launch of the new consoles and the releases have been quiet. Don't want to wait another year to get a good line up of stuff to play.

Anyway shortly after this a rumour started appearing which could explain why this is slated for next year. Halo HD remastered edition, the rumour slates that Halo 1/2/3 and 4 was coming to Xbox One. Now it's just a rumour right now but that would make a ton of sense, the Halo series is spread across two consoles and some people might had not played the first two. So releasing the full set for the new Xbox to allow everyone to try it out and catch up before they release 5 would make a lot of sense. Have to wait and see what E3 will reveal but I would be shocked if they didn't because Microsoft do not have that many exclusive for this year. Especially with their big guns like Gears of War only just been started and Halo 5 next year.

I will be adding Halo to my list to get since I'm fan of the series although I don't remember finishing number two, I do own it for the PC but just cannot remember getting to the end. I know I've done everything else though, have to fix that.

Well that's it for part one folks and are you guys looking forward to these games? all of them are on my want list except Farcry which is on my watch list. Probably will be added to my want list once I've started 3 or seen a trailer.
