MS @ E3 14: Assassin’s Creed: Unity will have four-player co-op
The headline says it all. During Microsoft’s E3 Press Conference, developers from Ubisoft have confirmed that Assassin’s Creed: Unity will include four-player cooperative play when it launches this Fall.
Assassin’s Creed: Unity will also be available for the PC and PS4. I have no idea why that went unmentioned at Microsoft’s Press Conference.
MS @ E3 14: Forza Horizon 2 out on September 30
Microsoft has plenty of Forza news for fans of the franchise at their 2014 E3 Press Conference. First, the Forza Motorsport 5 team has announced that the world-famous Nurburgring track will be available as a free download starting today.
After that, the Forza Horizon 2 team revealed that the game will run at a blistering 1080p when its released for the Xbox One on September 30. The Xbox 360 edition, which is being developed by Sumo Digital, will also be available on that date.
MS @ E3 14: Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare DLC will come to Xbox consoles first
Microsoft kicked off their 2014 E3 Press Conference with Call of Duty… again. I’d have to check the archives, but I’m pretty sure I’ve written that sentence at least once before (replacing the “2014” with “2013” or “2012,” obviously). As usual, the consolemaker has announced that every downloadable map pack for the upcoming Call of Duty: Advanced Warface will be available for the Xbox One (and probably the Xbox 360, as well) first.
Activision then gave the crowd a nearly ten-minute look at one of the game’s action-packed levels. Be on the lookout for that later today or sometime this week.
Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare will be released on November 4.
Capcom @ E3 14: Phoenix Wright Trilogy, Dead Rising 3 PC, Monster Hunter 4, and plenty more
Capcom announced its awesome lineup for E3 2014, and the list is pretty awesome. They’ll have Dead Rising 3 for PC; Monster Hunter Freedom Unite on iOS; Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trilogy for the 3DS; Ultra Street Fighter IV for PC, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360; and Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate for the 3DS. You can probably tell what I’m most excited for by which image I chose!
Capcom will also be showing off Capcom Pro Tour, which is referred to as “the premier league destination for competitive fighting games.” The yearlong tournament circuit will lead up to the Capcom Cup, which will have 16 players facing off against one another.
For the full press release of Capcom’s E3 offerings, hit the jump. (more…)
Insomniac continues to get wacky with Sunset Overdrive’s E3 teaser trailer
Despite my tepid response to Insomniac’s Sunset Overdrive, this E3 teaser trailer has got me wishing I could sip on some (probably gross) Overcharge while chilling out on one of these awesome couches inside this ridiculous bus. If you’re not sure what I’m talking about, just watch the ludicrous trailer above, in which my favorite line uttered is that “rules are meant to be exploded.”
You can expect to see even more Sunset Overdrive at 9:00 AM PST/Noon EST today (that’s in 10 minutes!) during Microsoft’s E3 Press Conference.
Fantasia: Music Evolved will begin making beautiful music on store shelves on October 21
A few years ago, Harmonix put the Rock Band franchise on a bit of a temporary hiatus. Since then, they’ve driven headfirst into development on a ton of new projects including the musical FPS Chroma and an HD reboot/remake of Amplitude. The developer is also rumored to be working on an unannounced Dance Central game for the Xbox One… which will probably become reality in a few hours. But the one we’ll get to play first is Fantasia: Music Evolved.
Based on the Disney films of the same name, Fantasia: Music Evolved will be released for the Xbox One and Xbox 360 on October 21. To get in the spirit of the season, Harmonix has released an E3 trailer for Music Evolved, which showcases a new take on their unique brand of music-based gaming. The trailer also gives us our first look at one of the game’s realms, “The Neighborhood.”
You can learn more about “The Neighborhood” and a new character known as Scout (Yen Sid’s former apprentice) by marching a bunch of chairs over to Disney Interactive’s official website.
Battlefield Hardline will be available October 21… see the E3 teaser trailer now
EA just can’t keep Battlefield Hardline a secret. Their original plan was to reveal Visceral Games’ cops-and-robbers crime drama during their E3 Press Conference, which is scheduled to be held today. Instead, the existence of the game leaked a bit early. And now, the E3 trailer is out in the wild ahead of their press conference too. But rather than run from the rumors, EA officially released the trailer themselves, confirming Hardline’s October 21 release date in the process.
We’ll hear more about Battlefield Hardline, which is believed to be in development for the PC, PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, and Xbox One, later today.
Kingdom Hearts HD 2.5 ReMix will be released on December 2
Square Enix has released the E3 2014 trailer and announced a release date for Kingdom Hearts HD 2.5 ReMix. Players will be able to get their hands on the compilation beginning December 2. The compilation, which will be available exclusively for the PS3, will include high definition remakes of Kingdom Hearts II and Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep. Non-playable cinematic scenes from Kingdom Hearts: Re:Coded will also be included to complete the story.
And don’t think Square Enix forgot about Kingdom Hearts III. While the PS4 and Xbox One title won’t be on display during next week’s E3 Expo, a small preview of the game is included at the end of the Kingdom Hearts HD 2.5 trailer above.
