DOOM The Dark Ages did its reveal right. Show off the actual GAMEPLAY!! How hard is that for other developers to understand? We all understand CG trailers are meant to generate hype, but gamers are so tired of that nowadays we just want to see the game in action. Of course many gameplay trailers, maybe even the DOOM one perhaps, doesn’t always represent the end product 100%, but even if that’s the case here, we got a really good idea at what the gameplay will be like. After all, we’re here to play the games, not watch them.
That sentiment in mind, I didn’t mind all the cutscenes in the Indiana Jones reveal. There was a little bit of gameplay but I think the actual game is going to have lots of cutscenes. Being based off a movie franchise helps me look past that, it’s going for a cinematic feel. First Person is kind of an odd choice for an Indiana Jones game but I still dig it. It’s giving me really big Uncharted vibes with the amount of cutscenes and dialogue thrown into the mix.
New Gears of War game reveal looked awesome. Haven’t played 1-4 in years, but I like how we’re getting the origin story of Marcus and Dom, the fans favorite characters.
My main hope was to see more Skate, but all we got was a bit more alpha gameplay and “we’re still working on it” in big bold letters. Gotta appreciate the honesty I suppose.
Overall I thought this year’s games showcases were a hit. Lots of major game reveals and tons of great looking indies as well. “A little something for everyone” seemed to be the theme across all game showcases this past weekend.
