    Aye, Watch Dogs just doesn't seem the sort of franchise that should be a bit of a * take. I'd prefer it had a sort of darker feel, a bit more grounded.

    In terms of this Skyrim remaster, it must be true. Too much talk about it now from different sources. Hopefully they fix some of the problems and improve it visually.

    I agree with regards to WATCHDOGS.

    What will the SKYRIM remaster entail? just like the PC modded versions? all DLC probably too I'd imagine?

    I think the series could do with an injection of humour/lightheartedness, seeing as the first game took itself far too seriously, but I agree that this trailer seems to go a bit too far in that direction.

    I'd say the Skyrim Remaster being announced is pretty much as close to a certainty as you can get. To be honest, as much as I like the game, I don't think I'll bother with the remaster. I would've liked to have seen Oblivion get a remaster as well, especially seeing as it's the 10th Anniversary of its release this year, but I can understand why they're not doing that.


    The usual improvements, all the DLC and mod support on consoles if rumours are to be believed.

    I think they missed a trick with the first WATCHDOGS, they came off as trying too hard. The main character was dull and it never really worked.


    I never finished SKYRIM but don't know if I can be bothered starting again.
    Cheers for all the updates :50:

    Injustice 2 has been officially announced, here's the trailer:


    [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hX0WA6yIZ7I[/ame]

    So no PC version by the sounds of things. I suppose that isn't too surprising when you consider the Mortal Kombat X fiasco.



    Yeah, it wasn't the most inspiring start for a new franchise. It does seem like they're trying to address that, but it remains to be seen if they end up overcompensating for the faults of the original.

    Thanks :50:

    There's been a decent amount of news since my last post, so here's another update post



    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Deus Ex GO
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    I don't usually post about mobile/tablet games on here, but I really liked Hitman & Lara Croft GO, so I'm making an exception for this:

    Final Fanatsy IX Remaster
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Another LinkedIn leak.

    Apparently some developer has claimed on his resume that he worked on a Vita port of FF9, which is currently only available on PC & iOS/Android. He's since removed that particular part, but this is what it originally said:

    [​IMG]

    We might hear a brief mention during Sony's E3 show.


    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Gwent: The Witcher Card Game
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    CD Projekt RED hinted that they might have something to show at E3, and this looks like it could be it.

    Nerd Leaks are claiming on Twitter that CDPR have filed a trademark for this logo:

    More updates.

    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    ABZU
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    If I remember correctly, this got a brief showing at Sony's last E3 show (although it's coming out on PC, as well as PS4) and it's apparently due out soon.

    Here's a gameplay video (people seem to be comparing to Journey, and I can see why):

    [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=txJGHjTBS_M[/ame]




    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Destiny: Rise of Iron
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Bungie have confirmed the existence of Rise of Iron, which had previously leaked, amd is set to launch on the 20th September. Here's the reveal trailer:

    [ame]http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=EFTn6jQk338[/ame]


    Details:

    It's also worth mentioning that it appears that the PS3 & 360 versions will not be receiving this DLC. I'd expect some more details during Sony's conference.



    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Dishonored 2
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    It seems like a short trailer for Dishonored 2 has leaked early.

    [ame="http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x4fy966_dishonored-2-e3-2016-trailer_animals"]Dishonored 2 E3 2016 trailer - Video Dailymotion[/ame]





    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Fallout 4
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    So I forgot to mention part of this in my last post, but a newer leak reminded me.

    Starting with the older part first. Towards the end of last month, following the release of Far Harbor, a user on Reddit was trawling through the games files, when they seemingly discovered references to the next three DLC's (which are still unannounced). I'll post a screenshot below, but the three apparent DLC's were:

    • Nuka World

    • Wasteland Workshop 2

    • Wasteland Workshop 3


    [​IMG]



    Fast forward to today, and another Reddit user is claiming that his Xbox has seemingly leaked one of those workshop DLC's early:


    [​IMG]


    Now it's worth mentioning at this point that there's a couple ofthings worth considering:

    • Bethesda's E3 show takes place today (although for us outwith North America, it'll be tomorrow). There's been instances in the past of publishers/developers making stuff available either right after or even during the show itself.

    • So far the DLC has been released on a monthly schedule (Automatron in March, Wasteland Workshop 2 in April & Far Harbor in May) and Bethesda have yet to announced anything in regards to this month.



    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Gran Turismo Sport
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Sony have released a new trailer:


    [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sQAvaDhb8jo[/ame]




    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Injustice 2
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Netherealm have released a new 'Gameplay Reveal' trailer:


    [ame]http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=LOZqQtFw5E8[/ame]



    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Rocket League
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Psyonix have announced the 'Neo Tokyo' update, which will apparently be the largest in the game's history. Here's the trailer:

    [ame]http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=kmZn0NIMVg8[/ame]



    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Quake Reboot
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Nerdleaks are claiming that Bethesda are set to continue the process of reviving classic id Software IP's, and are apparently now looking at a new Quake game:

    Nerdleaks have a decent track record, and this seems like common sense anyway, so I wouldn't be surprised if it's trure. I would've thought that this E3 would've been a bit early though, seeing as Doom only came out last month.

    The new Telltale engine looks great. If they can sort out the performance issues they are on to a winner.

    Following on from their Batman stuff earlier in the day, Telltale have also released a trailer for The Walking Dead: Season 3

    [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PgXqmVMFTWY[/ame]


    I just hope it's better than Season 2, which completely fell apart during episode 3.

    Looking forward to it. Season 2 was definitely a drop from the first season but it was still quite good.

    It does look interesting, and the improved engine should hopefully give their games a much needed boost.

    The first two and a half episodes of Season 2 were great, but of the four Telltale games I've played (TWD: S1 & S2, The Wolf Among Us and Tales from the Borderlands) it's definitely the weakest. They got too caught up in making dramatic moments, which had a serious knock on effect on the writing.

    I still need to get around to playing the Michonne mini-series as well when I think about it.

    Still need to play those, been meaning to get them for ages. Going to play the final episode of the GoT series tomorrow, really enjoying that one now.

    Games like these, adventure/choose your own path (to an extent) are definitely some of my favourites. Telltale are bringing out a lot of games but with the upgraded engine, they can bring out as many as they like as long as they keep up the quality.

    TWD, GoT, Batman and Marvel next year. 4 huge franchises, it's amazing how big they're becoming. I'd love them to do an X-Men series.

    Those two are definitely worth your time if you get the chance, they're my joint favourite Telltale games.

    Game of Thrones is one I haven't played myself. Most of what I heard was pretty negative and I don't watch the show, so it's one that I haven't really bothered with; although I'll get to it eventually,

    The X-Men would probably be a good fit for Telltale, but I think the whole Disney/Fox thing would probably prevent it from happening.

    It's one of my favourite games from the current gen. Managed to get a perfect playthrough on my first go, and it was fun from beginning to end. There were a few technical issues here and there, but it's a game I'd recommend to anyone who owns a PS4.
