FALL OUT 4
The game the world’s been begging for finally made its debut at E3 2015, complete with a launch date: November 10.
Honestly, “Fallout 3 in Boston” alone would’ve sold me, but Fallout 4 ups the ante with extensive new weapons and armor modification systems, as well as the ability to build new settlements in Sims-like fashion using materials you’ve salvaged from the wastes. Settlers and traders even show up once your ad-hoc home’s established—though raiders do too, so you’ll need to build defenses. Sounds like it’ll play right into the obsessive tendencies of hardcore Fall out players.
MASTERS OF ORION
Master of Orion is one of the most legendary 4X games of all time, even twenty years after release. With a host of memorable alien races, an epic space opera feel, and perfectly tuned mechanics, it's a genre classic for a reason.
Wargaming's remake/reboot/sequel is looking pretty great, with some fantastic art and voicework. Fingers crossed it turns out as good as the original. -Hayden
GHOST RECON WILDLANDS Ghost Recon Wildlands sounds right up
my alley. In it, you and three pals tool around a massive digital recreation of Bolivia as the namesake Ghosts, hunting down drug lords and disrupting narcotics operations with extreme prejudice. How you approach each mission is up to you: Stealth? Sniping? Straight-up guns blazing? Have at it.
SWORD COAST LEGENDS
Sword Coast Legends was my favorite demo at GDC, and it retains the title at E3. To see that Wizards of the Coast is putting out an official Dungeons and Dragons isometric CRPG—reminiscent of the Infinity Engine days—and it's empowering creative types to play Dungeon Master with custom campaigns, custom dungeons, and custom quests? Basically an updated, polished, and more accessible version of Neverwinter Nights?
DEUS EX: MANKIND DIVIDED Adam Jensen’s back in Deus Ex: Mankind
Divided. The brief gameplay footage revealed at E3 didn’t reveal much—though one augmentation covered Jensen in a hard, geometric black exoskeleton, which was cool.
But the Deus Ex series’ true strength has always been in its freedom, flexibility, and lore, and Mankind Divided sounds like it’ll deliver in spades.
