Don't discount these games just because you've already seen their tricks.
We've already shown you some of the biggest games coming this year, as well as some brand-new titles that certainly look interesting. Now, the attention of our 2013 sneak preview turns to some tried and true titles. These are some old friends, coming back to say hello.
This ain't your daddy's Metal Gear!
I was really worried about Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance. It was originally known as Metal Gear Solid: Rising, and was announced in 2009 as an Xbox 360 exclusive. A troubled and protracted development cycle almost ended in cancellation before the project was given over to Platinum Games. We may never know the full story about how an Xbox 360 exclusive designed by an in-house team hand-picked by Hideo Kojima became a multiplatform game developed by Platinum, but I can at least say that my worries are gone. Metal Gear Rising may not be what people have come to expect from the Metal Gear series, but so far I’d say it’s an impressive game in its own right.
More of the same is still great, right?
Despite the dry and arid climate and the minor annoyance of rampant psychopaths and killer animals, I can say that I was genuinely excited to revisit Pandora with Borderlands 2. Unsurprisingly, little has changed since my last visit, which is both good and bad. Like its predecessor, traipsing across the landscape, slaughtering dozens of enemies along the way and looting everything in sight is highly addictive; however, despite the numerous tweaks made to the formula, the core experience isn't any better than what you saw the last time around.
The latest Metal Gear Solid video game developed by Kojima Productions.
Its release date is set to February 19, 2013.
I’m not sure 30 minute cutscenes are particularly well suited for portable play, but hey, whatever floats your boat.
It wasn’t long ago that we saw the release of Metal Gear Solid HD Collection for both the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. Previews Editor, Julian Titus, was able to take the title for a spin and his review clearly indicated that this is a great collection of games. The same holds true here, but there have been a few changes in its transition to the PlayStation Vita.
People Can Fly will handle development and will feature series favorites Baird and Cole.
Game Informer teased a new Gears of War announcement yesterday and has now fully revealed the game. Gears of War: Judgment will be the next game in the franchise, and will seemingly feature both Baird and Cole in a more prominent role. Furthermore, Epic Games president Mike Capps confirmed on Twitter that People Can Fly is developing the game.
