With E3 a little less than a month away, the rumor
mill around the video game world has started buzzing, in which some news has
already been confirmed before the press conferences have begun. With confirmed titles like Gears of War and
Uncharted already in the works to the annual rumor about Nintendo making a new
Zelda game for its respective home console, this year’s E3 is shaping up to be
one of if not the biggest E3 in recent years.
All of the companies have promised us that they are going to come out firing
with games upon games upon games, and why not, a year after the revealing of
the new generation of systems between Sony and Microsoft and the fact that
Nintendo is releasing quite possibly its most popular franchise on 3ds and the
Wii U later this year, the 3 way battle for video game supremacy is hotter than
ever. Of course gamers want to see
titles that have yet to be revealed, or something that will peak their interest
on upcoming titles that is the whole point of E3 and that’s why gamers look forward
to this event every year. With that
being said these are the top 5 things I think gamers would like to see at this
year’s E3 press conferences (digital event for Nintendo).
Go to any gamer and they will tell you that Gears of War is
one of the defining franchises representing this generation of gaming. However, Gears of War’s future seems to be
looking bleak. Although I am a huge fan
of the franchise, it is pretty hard to see any type of future for the remaining
members of Delta Squad and the rest of the COG.
The release of Gears of War: Judgment did not go over so well with
gamers; telling a story that not many fans of the franchise really cared about.
The multiplayer also took a step back trying to bring in new concepts like its
survival mode and overrun. It almost looked
like a third person version of Call of Duty, which really put distaste in my
mouth. The failure of Judgment has put
the franchise in dire straits, however I believe Epic Studios has several
options to potentially turn the franchise around.
