Rage 2 And DOOM Preview: PC, PS4, And Xbox One Versions

There is no doubt in my mind that DOOM Eternal is now officially my most-anticipated game for the remainder of 2019. If you liked 2016's revival of DOOM , then you're going to lose your mind once you get your hands on Eternal . DOOM Eternal wasn't just the best game that we played this week during E3 2019 , it seems like it has a chance to collect quite a bit of year-end awards as well once the dust settles. Let's just hope that the full game can reach the same highs as the demo that I pla

Arguably Microsoft's biggest game, Halo: Infinite , was back at E3 this year, getting a featured spot at the very end of its annual press conference. This year's footage was more story-centric, revealing an unnamed UNSC pilot discovering Master Chief floating in space. After reviving the iconic hero, a mysterious yellow lightning strikes the USNC Pelican, prompting Master Chief to grab a gun and jump out of the ship. For fans wanting more, Microsoft is essentially putting Halo Infinite back on ice until E3 2020 ahead of its holiday 2020 launch on Project Scarl

Being able to pull off something like that, on top of promising 4k resolutions and 60 frames per second gameplay, would require Google Stadia to offer some serious power. And as it turns out, Stadia is effectively a next-generation gaming experience, more powerful than the PS4 Pro and Xbox One X combined . So far, none of the demoed games have really been able to show off Stadia's power, but perhaps some of the first-party exclusives will take full advantage of the platf

One area where Google has actually offered some solid answers is in regards to Stadia's games. At the GDC 2019 keynote presentation, Google announced three games that will be coming to Stadia, including Assassin's Creed Odyssey and the upcoming Doom Eternal lore|Https://doometernalplay.com/ Eternal . Additionally, an untitled game from PixelJunk studio Q-Games is also in the works for Sta

But once you throw off the shackles of traditional FPS design and approach the game more like a hack-and-slash action title with guns, everything clicks. You are racking up combos, ground slamming enemies and shotgun firing them into explosive barrels. It was only about an hour in when I started combining these Nanotrite abilities into a ballet of bullet-flying, neon-based combat and boy was it satisfy

The next major project from Shinji Mikami and Tango Gameworks was revealed at Bethesda's E3 2019 conference. Known as Ghostwire: Tokyo, the stylish CG trailer showed off a futuristic-looking Japan where many of its citizens have vanished into thin air. Fans can also see a few horror elements mixed in with what appear to be supernatural beings going up against the main character who wields a bow and has access to abilit

It turns out that Bethesda's upcoming **Doom Eternal ** gained an unusual tie to Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight trilogy when it came to naming the sequel. 2016's Doom reinvented the shooter series from its original roots and brought the demonic world of Slayers to the next-generation of gaming conso

Doom by its very nature is a wild and crazy experience, yet has a lot of thought behind the madness. id prides itself on giving players bombastic tools and putting them in crazy arenas, but they also take pride in crafting thoughtful encounters. Sometimes, to accomplish this, they need to show some restraint

One of, if not the biggest name at E3 2019 was CD Projekt RED's ambitious open world title, Cyberpunk 2077 . The CG trailer introduced fans to the male version of V, showed off plenty of new story elements, and finally gave people an actual release date for the game. With one of the biggest questions now answered, the studio upped the ante even further by announcing the inclusion of Johnny Silverhand played by none other than Keanu Reev

Earlier this month, DualShockers got to spend some one-on-one time with a pre-beta build of Rage 2 . Starting at an early part in the game, we took the controller and were let loose on the world. Playing as Walker 30 years after the original RAGE 's asteroid hit, there were no limits or boundaries in where we could or couldn't go. The game is recognizably a marriage of developer Avalanche Studios' world-building and physics and id Software's combat logic. It's awes

But that isn't to say the world is bereft of humor and variety--the world is anything but brown and drab, with heavy highlights of neon to offer visual diversity. In my hour or two of gameplay, I got to meet a Guy Fieri-like club owner with insidious plans for the city, an indulgent past-prime television host that was an equal fan of blood-lust and orgies, and a racecar driver that was really insistent about getting in my pants. Despite the serious world, RAGE 2 doesn't take itself too seriously and has plenty of callbacks to other media points that inspire

And speaking of the Super Shotgun, the weapon's new grappling hook is a godsend. The Super Shotgun was already my favorite weapon to use in DOOM but being able to now quickly fly between enemies with the grappling device just feels phenomenal. I haven't seen all of the weapons and additions that each will have in DOOM Eternal , but the grappling hook for the Super Shotgun is a game-changer. I look forward to blasting hundreds of demons apart with it in the final prod
