From the controversial Finnish Remedy Entertainment arrives in 2014 also Quantum Break, new IP and exclusive Xbox One great value. A narrative level the title intends to make a further step forward compared to Alan Wake, integrating video episodes of a TV series, which players can directly affect specific joints. A very interesting perspective but also very risky, as demonstrated recently Defiance. The events in this case, however, seem to adapt better to the particular narrative model: Quantum Break fits into that genre super-modern eroistico, where the classic experiment gone bad gives special powers to the protagonists (in this case the manipulation of space-time) , that they then decide to use for good or evil. Remedy of production at the time, you do not know many other details, especially in terms of gameplay, which is rumored to blend dynamic shots from Max Payne and Alan Wake in equal measure. The only certainty right now is a very solid technical sector, which seems to give the best of themselves especially in terms of facial expressions, really credible. Project Spark
Initially received with coldness, Project Spark has begun to see what it’s really capable in the last Los Angeles-E3. The sandbox developed within Microsoft literally give the player a chance to build his own personal gaming experience, providing tools with which to create specific routines, characters, and gameplay dynamics obviously entire game worlds. The editor can also be accessed through SmartGlass, it soon became very comprehensive and intuitive, as the few assets shown during the presentations have not 100% convinced. The dev team has, however, shown scenes composed by the same editor and different assets, leaving gaping with playing a chase taken from the legendary Miami Vice, as if to underline in Spark you can really create anything. The only limit seems a potentially revolutionary selling model, the free-to-play only for the skinny basic package (the “prehistoric”) and with a lot of content coming only after a fee. Kinect Sports Rivals
Bowling, Rock Climbing, Soccer, Tennis, Shooting and Target Water Ski: these are the subjects that we will be called upon to bear in Kinect Sports Rivals, new arcade sports title dedicated to Microsoft device movement. For now, Kinect Sports Rivals gave only a glimpse of its potential, with only Water Ski: nothing memorable, mind you, but a tangible demonstration of how the device is working much better than before. The motion recognition has become very precise and you do not need a huge space to play. If all disciplines will also keep the fun and the good rate of solid technical features of this demo, this Kinect Sports Rivals could prove to be more than just an app for casual gamers. Sunset Overdrive
Insomniac Games, known for sprattutto Ratchet & Clank and Resistance, is about to take on Xbox exclusive One interesting. This is Sunset Overdrive FPS with strong skills in spectacular arrival in 2014. The title retrieves a concept inspired in part Brink Bulletstorm in part, presenting a shooter who shoots the highly stylish try to mix parkour pushed. The material released so far is really very little, for so it is not yet possible to establish with certainty the boundaries of production. Apparently it will be a FPS based heavily on the cooperation between the players, who will have to eliminate hordes of monstrous creatures, often using non-conventional weapons. A graphic style exaggerated, eye-catching and colorful closes the framework of a title to watch. Halo 5
Each holder of Xbox One on Planet Earth awaits the arrival of Autumn, 2014, and with it the “fifth coming” of the legendary Master Chief. The mystery about the new adventures of reviving John is still very thick, but from what we could see from the very first trailer this will be an adventure solo, in which our might need to rely on his strength. The unanswered questions are many, from the fate of Cortana origin of the giant spaceship that is raised in the trailer and that seems fueled by Promethean technology. But every doubt will be answered only when Master Chief finally appear in the new generation. Below
Bustling more than ever in 2014, the indie scene, which will see the debut of Next Gen platforms of Capybara Games, creators of Sword & Sorcery already. The team is working on Below, an enchanting adventure that still has not revealed much of his cards. Characterized by a delicate and unmistakable style and a soundtrack by Jim Guthrie enveloping, that of Below promises to be one of those experiences to look beyond the simple gameplay, with a title that its suggestions, and without too many words, touching the heart of the gamer. Fantasy Evolved Music
With Rockband and its several sequels Harmonix has proven to be an authority in the field of music video games. Now, however, that gamers do not want to strum guitars, the next frontier is represented by securities dancers in front of Kinect.
Along with Disney in the next year Harmonix adapt the cinematic experience of Fantasia allowing the player has to compete with choreography perfectly recognized by the sensor of Xbox One, is to unleash their creativity with mini-games and other activities related to the songs, however the most popular of the moment. New IP from Black Tusk Studios
In 2012, Microsoft hired 12 developers in the Vancouver for work on a new IP triple-A bound to Xbox One. Black Task Studio, this is the name of the newly formed software company, has among other veterans of EA Sports as Mike Crump.
E3 was shown a small taste of the game, with a clip starring a busy man climbing a building. The whole atmosphere was decidedly espionage.
We hope that in 2014 we could know something more than the next franchise exclusive of the new Microsoft console. D4
Hidetaka Suehiro in art Swery 65 is one of the few Japanese developers to have sworn allegiance to Microsoft. One for Xbox and Kinect is developing an adventure episodes, in which the supernatural binds to a strong craziness. Sensor and microphone in the intentions of the development team combine to wrap all 5 senses, capping off an over the top and always ready to surprise the player in terms of playability.
From the mind of volcanic Vince Zampella, head of the birth of a Call of Duty: Modern Warfare (the one and only), is coming LO shooter of 2014. Titanfall is simply never seen a game that combines elements shooter, parkour and devastating conflicts between mechanized beasts: the Titans fact. Completely focused on the clash online, so as to have a multiplayer campaign dedicated Titanfall promises to be a real revolution in the genre. A title is capable of changing skin several times during the same game, to put the player on board a metal monster thirty meters high and let him drive immediately after the assault on the cockpit of the enemy mech, jumping on the walls and roofs to circumvent it. A title that seems to know no limits and promises, thanks to a technical sector at a frame rate valid and rocky, to change the balance within the FPS. The Division
After literally stole the show at E3 The Division is preparing to be one of the surprises of this first year of eighth-generation console. The intriguing stories take us into an America in crisis, a virus transmitted through the money has literally left knee in capitalist society par excellence. Part of a special task force called The Division, we will then move through the rubble of the most important American cities, trying to stop a threat that is currently still unknown. At the level playful The Division is an interesting hybrid between TPS and RPG, with a marked propensity for cooperative multiplayer and online integration with second screen experiences and whatnot. Specialties at the most impressive, however, is its highly advanced angina graph, the Snowdrop Enigine. Not just models and textures masterfully characterized but physical handling really evolved show a visual picture really impressive and highly interactive. A remnant of true next gen! The Evil Within
2014, as often happens, it will also be a “year of return”, including that of Shinji Mikami the most genuine survival horror with The Evil Within. Inspired as much as Resident Evil Silent Hill, the game designer of eclectic new product promises a lot less action, guns drawn, focusing more on the psychological component of horror. The first scenes that we have witnessed in fact show macabre settings and disturbing creatures that crawl into the shadows, leaving room for the imagination and a “monster” that recalls, for modus operandi, the legendary Pyramid Head. The aim is thus to make the player feel hunted, in the role of a protagonist much more human than the last Chris Redfield super-pumped. The gimmicks, appeared highly successful at the time, really include a long series of more or less veiled references to the aforementioned Silent Hill, including a structure isolated from the world as it had been uprooted from the ground and apparent “travel” in a dark dimension. There is no shortage atmospheres absolutely debilitating and characterized to perfection thanks to the Unreal Engine in great form. Project Cars
Among the most ambitious projects of 2014 could not miss Project Cars, corsistico that Slightly Mad Studios (Need For Speed ??Shift and Shift 2 above) are developed hand in hand with the community of fans. It is a promising racing simulation arriving on PC and console eighth generation, with more than an eye to the strong modding community that lives on the racing scene. The title has not only been developed allowing fans, with a small share, substantially to the dev team, but will also be open after its release all the changes and improvements necessary (of course on PC). A competitor agguerritissimo for various rFactor & Co., which in its early build has already been shown to be up, thanks to a graphic engine and an amazing body, the new generation of racing. Thief
After ten years one of the most famous thieves in the history of video games is ready to return. This is Garrett, in the reboot of Thief coming February 28th. Back after a long absence, Garrett will face as a dark Robin Hood corruption had spread to Town, hitting the rich oppressors who subject the population. On the plot of the mystery still lingers, while the mechanical outline already an adventure stealth very rigorous, widely eye that winks at the past of the saga. It ‘a revised version of the Unreal Engine 3 to project then Thief in the present, delineating solid polygonal models and fascinating gothic architecture, highlighted by un’immersiva first person view. Destiny
From the creators of Halo is coming in 2014 one of the most promising shooter of recent years. Destiny has the accurate shooter from mechanical and algorithms that characterize artificial intelligence over the years have made it big Bungie, placing them into a whole new world and the mechanical properties of a MMOFPS on a massive scale. The background narrative, despite being fully multiplayer experience will have a significant impact: humanity, reached its peak, was overwhelmed by a series of attacks by unknown alien races and now has to fight for its survival, defending strenuously the Tower, the last bastion of a civilization in decline. So we will be catapulted into this battle without quarter, between planets to explore unknown and alien races to fight to the sound of weaponry and powers of science fiction. A whole new direction, in short, that winks the eye anyway (artistically and not only) to the tradition of Bungie. Metal Gear Solid 5 + Ground Zeroes
Needless to say, Metal Gear Solid 5 (prologue included) is perhaps the most anticipated title of the end of 2014. It is the first rumors, from the very first trailer it was clear that Hideo Kojima wanted to exaggerate and make things even bigger than usual. The focus moves this time on the actions of Big Boss and adventure, to the delight of those who loudly demands a greater freedom of action, it becomes completely open world. With all the tools at the disposal of the case, we will be able to decide as never before the approach to the action, even using motorized vehicles, horses and so on and so forth. There seems to be boundaries for Metal Gear Solid 5, which, while pushing it a bit ‘more action on the accelerator, do not lose sight of its stealth nature, rather enhancing it thanks to this greater freedom of decision.
Valiant Hearts: The Great War
Based on the letters of the soldiers involved in the First World War on the French front, Valiant Hearts Ubisoft Montpellier is the story of a sad love story, that of a German soldier and a French girl separated shortly before the wedding by the brutality of war. Through the charming Ubi Framework team will tell a story steeped in pain and hope, using five points of view completely different but united by Wolf, the friendly Doberman who accompany you in one way or another the protagonists. As little has been seen, Valiant Hearts was immediately able to attract the attention: on the one hand to a Glance two-dimensional so beautiful and evocative to look out for some old postcard, the other for a simple gameplay and challenging . Each scene will be structured like a puzzle, consisting of a simple series of puzzles by interacting with elements of the seabed. Some dynamic platform will join from time to time to the mix, making the action screen always diverse and enjoyable. Child of Light
Inspired by the European tradition of fairy tales and stories, Child of Light is the second pearl made by Ubisoft via UbiFramework, the same engine that has characterized recent episodes of Rayman and wonderful. Behind the stunning visuals of the game also hides a deep gameplay and well thought out, which mixes the characteristics of a two-dimensional adventure game in the classic mold of an RPG. Between turn-based combat and progression through the skill tree of the characters there will be time for sessions platforming and puzzles really intriguing, in which Aurora and her goblin Igniculus alternation will always finding new ways to continue. Powers of observation and great adaptability will prove essential, therefore, in an adventure that is going to give you the best especially if co-op, giving players the ability to simultaneously exploit the different magical abilities of the two protagonists. Narratively speaking Ubisoft has kept everyone in the dark yet, but already see the dreamy world in which Child of Light is set makes me want to play as soon as possible! Dragon Age: Inquisition
Bioware, temporarily stored in some kind of drawer Mass Effect, is back in 2014 with his “second creation”, that Dragon Age has learned that in the same way exalt and infuriate the school RPG fans typically Western. This third chapter completely abandons the strong linearity of its predecessor, as well as do a little ‘too much action, which had marked the gameplay to return to its former glory. Winking also (but not only) in The Witcher 3, the story of the Inquisition (closely related to Dragon Age 2) will be held in a gigantic world open world, in which the player will be limited to very few constraints. Quest primary and secondary will then be well mixed in the rest, with a naturalness that seem just discovered via the normal exploration. Revised, in this sense, even the dialogue system, which is now back to the real focus needs to create strong relationships of trust and friendship with their allies, and also presented a complex system of moral choices that should be able to change several times in the cards table at the narrative level. At the same time Bioware has renewed the combat system, borrowing some systems from Mass Effect and thus giving the player greater tactical control over confrontation. Far more than a return to origins, in fact, for one of the most anticipated titles of the year. Mighty No. 09
It is said that Keiji Inafune has left Capcom just because the house in Osaka had turned his back to his godson Megaman. However it happened, the new software house founded by Inafune, Comcept ie, during the Summer funded via Kickstarter the spiritual successor to the blue robot.
A two-dimensional state of the art in the era of high definition graphics, a team of industry veterans and a Japanese chip tune soundtrack are the strengths of this flashback of 2d platformer.
Users have funded all the goals, thus allowing for Inafune to make the game uncompromising he has in mind, and distribute it on all major platforms on the market. EA Sports UFC 2014
As for the fight inside the octagon is certainly one of the most-watched discipline or love in our country, the arrival of UFC branded EA in 2014 sparked interest in other sports fans entertainment. EA Sports UFC 2014 seems one of the few titles in the Canadian lineup to really take advantage of every resource of the mighty Ignite Engine, by implementing all the features at different levels. For the moment, UFC 2014 has not shown much, but when he did it was able to astonish, including facial expressions absolutely fantastic, management of collisions and contacts ever so precise and a whole host of minutiae (such as rupture of capillaries subcutaneous) that will no doubt delight fans. Expectations, needless to say, I’m really high and I honestly can not wait to get my hands on production to see how they will behave controls, one of the Achilles heels of many incarnations of Mixed Martial Arts. It remains, however, a title with high potential and for this much anticipated. NBA 2K15
After the excellent work that has characterized the Next Gen chapter of NBA 2K14, Visual Concept does not have the need to implement some kind of revolution in his home. Episode 2K15 players expect more continuity than anything else the team has been able to maintain the last decade, constantly enriching the product of new animations and small but interesting features here and there. If we were to think of an aspect on which work hard then we would aim artificial intelligence, which occasionally unconvincing movements and spacing. For the rest, now that the myPlayer suffered a compelling upgrade thanks to The Park and that the online multiplayer has become much more engaging, there’s not much else to ask the dev team. Oh yeah: get rid of the VC! NBA Live 15
The home basketball Electronic Arts, the next year, must make a real revolution. The Canadian giant to rethink anew every detail, literally throwing himself behind what was done with NBA Live 14, which severely disappoint. The base on which to build is dell’Ignite Engine but the idea is that it serves a totally new team, really passionate about basketball and able to avoid the blunders which this year are presented to the players. Although the level of game modes in principle there are, but everything else is completely remodeled from the ground up. Final Fantasy XV
After a generation that has remained muted, Tetsuya Nomura comeback to dictate the line in the house Square Enix. The next Final Fantasy will stuff her: from the ashes of Versus XIII, comes a futuristic world and futuristic, a “fantasy based on reality.” While little is known of characters and environments, the gameplay will show voted on the action and dynamic as possible, without sacrificing a strong visual spectacle.
Its release is eagerly awaited by fans, hoping to soon forget the many compromises in the trilogy of Final Fantasy XIII. Kingdom Hearts 3
Years of spin-offs and secondary storylines are going to be set aside from the only possible conclusion: the long-awaited third installment of the crossover of Final Fantasy and Disney characters. The development is still in an embryonic stage, but Tetsuya Nomura is determined to put an end to the saga of Dark Seeker by a marked step forward in terms of gameplay and technology. A new gameplay, freer and more dynamic thanks to Free Run system is accompanied by a rethinking of Artificial Intelligence and the brand new engine called Shader Kingdom. FIFA 15
In house EA Sports minds are more relaxed than ever, given that the primacy of FIFA, also on Xbox and Playstation 4 One has already been consolidated with the versions “plus” for FIFA 14. For the chapter weblog in 2015, however, we are confident the team will propose a few new features, such as taking advantage of the newly weaned Ignite Engine for a more convincing maneuver in the field. Considering the solid foundation from which part of FIFA could even hope for some progress in terms of artificial intelligence-always one of the most difficult chapters of Canadian football simulation-and certainly some novelty dedicated to online multiplayer. Of course the players, eager to get their hands on FIFA 15 will want to see re-integrate the methods taken from Next Gen version of fourteen, and have the ability to leverage again the editor of the teams. PES 15
After the good performance of PES 2014 this year Konami will have to work hard to be able to finally capture that competition, every conquest, seems always one step ahead. The final step would be the integration in the first PES Next Gen Fox Engine as we have recently seen in Metal Gear Solid 5: an engine with phenomenal skills, able to propose an action photorealistic screen from any side you look at it. To give a hand to the Japanese team the usual care in the integration of artificial intelligence, which has now reached such an advanced stage that they can characterize almost every team with a slightly different form of the game. But this new PES is not expected to “just” a refined gameplay, as the reintegration of the climatic conditions and stages removed from the last chapter, as well as an investment decided to add at least the most important official licenses in Europe.
Dying Light
After the successes collected with Dead Island and Dead Island Riptide, the Poles Techland have decided to continue on the path of the invasion of zombies, infecting in this case, the next-generation consoles. Dyin Light, arriving in 2014, presents itself as yet another survival horror first-person, in which diverse skill tree, and tools to combine a huge number of offensive weapons will be the master. The peculiarity of the new production, however, is the inclusion of the component parkour gameplay, projecting the action in a vertical dimension never seen before. Each structure will be present in the enormous reach and scalable environment for freedom of action out of the ordinary. All this to keep up with increasingly fierce hordes of zombies, from routine completely rewritten for the occasion. Also interesting are the implications of the day night cycle, which will worsen the dangers at night, drastically reducing visibility and increasing the number of zombies on screen.
Voltage and involvement are insured, and when to stand out above all the excellent level design of the setting, supported by a careful and convincing realization of the seabed. Mad Max
Avalanche Studios, developers of the two Just Cause, have been hired by Warner Bros for the video game license from Mad Max Mel Gibson In the 80s the version from road warrior was a cult and we hope it can become even Tom Hardy in the upcoming reboot Mad Max: Fury Road. To act as a liaison game is free roaming, which as seen so far offers mainly driving sequences aboard Opus Magnum and melee combat in the style of Arkham.
We saw little of the Wasteland digital still and hope in 2014 to go into it more. The Witcher 3
The masters of Polish CD Project RED back in 2014 with the third and final adventure dedicated to Geralt of Rivia, the Witcher made famous by the first fantasy novels by Andrzej Sapkowski and then, above all, from two incredible role-playing games, which in recent years have literally redefined the Western conception of the genre. The Witcher 3 follows a path of growth that has affected the whole saga from its inception, presenting not only a technical sector too fancy but also a play structure partly renovated. We will have to do with a setting finally open world in which our hero can move freely and roam between main and secondary missions. Every action, every mission undertaken or failed, any creature killed or saved to affect short-or long-term on the same game world, shaping it in a unique way. A must-see title, which crowns a series of steadily growing. Game of Thrones
Telltale Games really seems to want to dominate in 2014, so as to come up with even a collaboration with the famous American network HBO.
