The opening two-hour Summer time Game Fest showcase right this moment had game followers bristling with pleasure – or was it probably loud night breathing? Arduous to say. One factor is for certain: man, it was lengthy! Happily, you do not have to look at the complete 120-minute VOD to get the gist of what you missed. As a substitute, you’ll be able to try what we predict have been the most important moments of the published!
THE LAST OF US: PART I LEAVES
Essentially the most thrilling reveal of the Summer time Game present, sadly, did not even occur throughout the present itself. Whereas the parents at Naughty Canine have been set to debut their trailer for The Final of Us: Half I, a remake of the unique 2013 post-apocalyptic competition of disappointment, it seems to be like there was a barely extra mischievous canine on the market for rain of their parade. , leaking the trailer hours earlier than being the literal showtopper.
Nevertheless, the trailer seems to be wonderful, and details about the upcoming collection HBOMax The Final of Us it was a particular deal with. Preserve an eye fixed out for Ellie and Joel’s authentic voice actors (Ashley Johnson and Troy Baker, respectively), who promise to make extra than simply cameos. Oh, and let’s not overlook in regards to the Final of Us multiplayer game… which we will count on actual particulars from subsequent yr. Or, you realize, every time it leaks.
THEN. MANY. SPACE. GAMES.
Whereas initially it was thrilling to see the trailer for Aliens: Darkish Descent — good day Mr. Xenomorph! — it quickly turned clear that the primary hour of Summer time Game could be devoted, nearly with out exception, to sci-fi/horror video games. If that is your favourite style although, it seems to be such as you’ll have a lot to select from. (Significantly. So much.)
Essentially the most promising of the countless spooky area romps seemed to be The Callisto Protocol, which sees gamers battling terrifying Resident Evil-style zombies (in area), and is about to launch on December 2, 2022 for each. PC and console.
HIGHWATER BRINGS US BACK TO EARTH
Whereas it regarded just like the onslaught of area horror titles (and, admittedly, a Name of Obligation) would by no means finish, we ultimately noticed the sunshine on the finish of the tunnel: a game about local weather change. Hey, this must be set on Earth, proper? Happily (or not, I assume, relying on the way you take a look at it), the devastating human-caused environmental chaos is a decidedly terrestrial expertise.
Have been we intrigued by the distinctive graphics, attention-grabbing premise, and 2022 launch date? Or have been we simply excited to not see any spacesuits? Arduous to say. Regardless, this “Isometric Storytelling Survival Game” from Rogue Video games is one thing we do not need to miss.
GUILE IS WELL
Yep, fan favourite Guile is again to kick some ass in Avenue Fighter 6 and albeit, he seems to be nice. Hey Guile, the place did you get that jumpsuit, man? The factor about this Summer time Game announcement is that there is not a lot to say about it! We already knew that Avenue Fighter was coming again. I feel for those who’re the principle Guile, that is a giant deal for you. If that is the case, I am very blissful for you.
FEAR… IT’S LIKE AN ONION
It has layers, people! That is proper, the Layers of Concern collection continues with the difficult Layers of Fears, a psychological horror game constructed on Unreal Engine 5. we’re certain to be as scared as we’re confused. Appears to be like good to us!
GOTHAM KNIGHTS DOESN’T SHOW NIGHTWING’S ASS
Whereas our favourite fighter’s ass has racked our brains (and the web) after being closely featured in factors for WB Video games Montreal’s upcoming superhero RPG, we did not get to get a sneak peek at right this moment’s showcase location. EVEN IF IT WAS A TRAILER CENTERED ON THE NIGHT WING. What’s up, WB? The place’s the badonk? Are you doing this to us on function? Give individuals (me) what they need (butts)!
MARRY JONES!!!!!!
CASEY JONES IS COMING TO TMNT: SHREDDER’S REVENGE . THIS IS NOT A TRAINING. I repeat: THIS IS NOT A DRILL. THE GAME WILL ALSO RELEASE ON JUNE 16, BUT YOU PROBABLY KNEW THAT.
HONORABLE MENTION: WHAT THE HELL IS THE ROCK DOING
Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson graced the Summer time of Video games showcase with a shaky telephone video from his residence gymnasium. Did he discuss for perhaps 5 minutes? Perhaps 5 o’clock? He is stated plenty of issues about Black Adam that the majority followers can acknowledge is a film, not a game.
He additionally stated rather a lot about ZOA Vitality, which most followers can acknowledge is an power drink, not a game. Additionally – and this goes with out saying – he was shirtless. Hey Dwayne, I am undecided what you are doing buddy, however you appear to be you are having enjoyable. So rock it, I assume.
