Games im looking forward to in 2014

Now that 2013 has come and gone a huge list of awesome games has left a mark in our minds so this list is a few of the games that I am excited to play in 2014.

Thief

Now I didn’t play the original Thief games but I know what they mean to other I’ve met people who have a true passion for its originality and its style and I am happy to experience what has been called a Legend.

Mad Max

Mad_Max_title_excerpt_from_end_of_E3_2013_trailer_reveal_during_Sony_press_conference

We haven’t seen anything in terms of gameplay but what has been shown is some great detail and from what we have seen it looks to be what Rage should have been.

Titanfall

Titanfall_box_art

Ok I will admit this when I first saw Titanfall I thought it was going to be another game that was hyped for its movement much like Brink, but after listening to people who experienced the game even in its early stages it became more intriguing and now its on this list, Stand by for Titanfall.

Dying Light

Dying_Light_cover

This game was introduced to me by a mate of mine in class I didn’t hear of the game because at that moment all I was thinking about was either GTA V or BF4 but after watching the gameplay that was online it truly was a different beast I love killing zombies and running around with mates so what a great combination to put both of them together and give it a smoother feel hopefully it will be more fluid then dead island.

Fortnite

I only heard of this one recently and it captured my attention immediately with its design and its concept with out any gameplay as of yet Im not sure if it will be as good as it looks but it gives the impression of being quite fun.

Project CARS

Early_WIP_screenshot

No its not a disney game its actually done by Slightly Mad Studios the guys behind NFS Shift 2 and this is a Sim racer, even though its incomplete it already has 60 licensed cars and over 35 tracks and some fictional race tracks as well. So if this keeps its pace it is sure to become Shaun’s new obsession.

Star Citizen

Star_Citizen_logo

Do you ever find something that you didn’t need until you saw it? well Star Citizen is that same feeling, until I saw some gameplay of just the hanger with all the ships in it just….. mind blasting i never knew i wanted it yet there it is.

The Crew

The_Crew_box_art

This game looks perfect for some long sessions of co-op madness for me and Shaun its got driving a MMO feel and a huge location to drive in if it has the driving mechanics of either Driver or maybe GTA V it will be awesome.

The Division

TheDivisionLogo

Much like the Crew it promises a lot of things a huge map, playing with buddies, and dynamic gameplay so i have big expectations.

Watch_Dogs

Watch_Dogs_box_art

Now this game was meant to come out this year but it got delayed probably because the dev team saw GTA V and said ‘yeah we need more time’ but im happy as long it means a better game.

Wolfenstein: The New Order

Wolfenstein_The_New_Order_cover

From what I’ve heard its has a old style shooter feel but the world loves that and sometimes needs to get away from complexity of bulletdrop and go back to the way things were but better looking and awesome.

So that pretty much rounds up of the games im looking forward to im sure I missed some games because its late night and im sleep deprived but so is the life of a gamer. So what are you looking forward to in 2014?

Gaming News Best of E3 2013

It’s been nearly 2 weeks since E3 but with assessments im only finding time now so here it goes

Sony FTW

frabz-XBOX-ONE-Never-Had-A-Chance-20132013-232a44

Rev3 Games did a great coverage on the Ps4 but heres the low down The Ps4 was shown off its $399 or $100 cheaper then the Xbox One, they showed off new games and I will cover those later. Click HERE for the Rev3 coverage. As with all consoles I dont belve that we here at Kokstars will get one straight away because we are primarily PC gamers but it would be great to see one or both some time in the future.

Game Trailers

There are a tone of new trailers that came with E3 so here is my top 10 it was a very hard choice from all of E3 there are a few games like kingdom hearts that look cool but im not excited because i didn’t play the originals. Please dont kill me.

#10 Wolfenstein The new order

Wolfenstein-The-New-Order

This game looks great and from what I’ve heard its a kick back to old style shooters. You can see it HERE

#9 Trials Fusion

trials-fusion

crew-trailer-e3-2013-600x337

#4 The Division

1370901007_tc_the_division_screen_water_street_view_web_130610_4h15pmpt

Ok now the last Tom Clancy ghost recon was a let down but this looks amazing hopefully its execution will be as good as the presentation it is multiplayer so those voices are people not voice actors check it HERE. But if you are confused about the story HERE

9b763fec-bf57-4475-b333-1e9dfd19185d

1. we have Forza Motorsport 5 which looks absolutely awesome as it features a mclaren P1 and a and its older brother the F1 racing around what looks to be Italy in a fast and epic way but how dare they scratch the P1

you can see it HERE 

quantum_break_0-580x322

2. we have a game which i have never heard of called Quantum break now the trailer is a bit confusing but im going to take a shot in saying its a cop game where the hero can slowdown time to analyse the crime of rewind time or something like that.

You can see it HERE

now we havent heard anything about the other 13+ games that will be released but I will keep you guys up to date

the following games are not exclusives but are now on the list for the Xbox One

-Battlefield 4

now we move along to well more trailers

Batman Arkham Origins Full trailer

1367172339-batman-arkham-origins-2

Now i do love me my comic books and it goes without saying i love batman so here is the extended trailer from the first teaser that we saw. It looks better every time and we see more then just batman and deathstroke so i have kinda put together what I think its going to be Black mask has put either a bounty on batman’s head or hes hired mercenaries to kill hime either way m going to say that this isn’t the last time we see deathstroke and deadshot. There is a little hint that we may run into a fellow hero maybe Green Arrow…?

You can see it HERE

Hardware Shipbreakers

safe_image

A supposedly 3D RTS  revolutioniser showed off a story for baserunner which is a 6 wheeled moster that looks like it conquer the dakar with no issues theses mosters were the building point for a war and is i think either a mobile base or the work horse that we build from gathering and mining resources but it looks pretty and i hope its awesome cos I love space stuff and it will be great to have a RTS that I wont be swamped by a south korean.

You can see it HERE

Shadow Warrior

shadow-warrior-art_1280.0_cinema_640.0

Now I dont know much about this game but its a reboot of a 1997 game developed by Flying wild hog but it eliminated the multi-player aspects and will avoid racial stereotyping and misogyn. but the teaser is a bit mysterious other then the slaughter of some gards and the japanese theme.

You can see it HERE 

Call of Duty Ghosts

cod-ghosts-header

Great another COD game im no fan of the COD series and its not something I hide, when i see some 12 year old wearing a COD shirt I always just want to burn it but they seem to have struck gold in the repetition of gameplay and half arising a story on it as well but they may have actually put some effort in to this one oh wait ive heard the name ghosts some where…. where was it umm…. oh thats right Ghost Recon so

you can see the trailer HERE if you want…. to be lame. And loose all respect from me.

More Batman stuff

 At the Dallas Comic-Con we found out the guy who does the Ezio voice will be voicing Bats.

But this is not the big news, BatmanNews.com screenshot a tweet from Conroy stated

ConroyArkhamTweet

WHAAAAAAAAA….. obviously he wasent supposed to let the Bat out of the bag but now we know that there is another Arkham game in development and we got our batman back probably by the real Arkham developers, Rocksteady Studios it was unthinkable that the rest of the Arkham games would be developed by anyone other then Rocksteady. Thank you Kevin you have given us all hope again

MORE BATMAN

Bioware Developers talk Mass effect spin-off

thoughtful-shepard1

We know that the guys at Bioware were working on a new instalment Mass Effect series though it is clear that it is not Mass effect 4 but the Mass Effect world has so many characters they could make the main protagonists but the big question remains what will the subject of the game maybe a RTS or a MMO.

For now the details are scarse but we can only hope that the answers will be better then the ending of Mass Effect 3.

‘Frostbite GO’

iphone-battlefield3

Battlefield 4 for phones?

EA is currently working on a mobile version of the awesome engine for the iOS and Android titled Frostbite Go. the news game from Frostbite.com and states that

One of our most exciting current projects is called Frostbite Go, a mobile division empowering EA game developers with Frostbite’s proven excellent workflows and features to bring true Frostbite experiences to all major mobile platforms.

From what we know the standard titles from EA on iOS and android will use it but im wondering if they will allow it to be used by anyone like the UDK. But the experience that I have gotten when playing a FPS on my phone was that it pained be to play it even when my opponents are 11 year olds.
