Games Con 2014 and something extra
By Blakniss
At the time of writing, Games Con was in full swing in Germany, and lots of games were being teased, announced or re-announced with updated trailers. The general consensus is that Sony dominated, Microsoft got owned.
Here are some of the stand outs:
- Hellblade had an enigmatic trailer that revealed something of a fantasy hack and slash, featuring a female lead character. It was just a cut scene with no gameplay. (PS4, no launch date yet)
- Until Dawn and P.T. are two horror joints to look forward to. The former apparently stars Hayden Panettiere (the immortal cheerleader from Heroes) and is essentially a teen slasher movie where you must survive the insistent murder attempts of a manic clown. P.T. Is actually code for a new Silent Hill game – the excitement around this one is that Guillermo del Toro (Pan’s Labyrinth, Mama) is working on it, and Walking Dead star Norman Reedus (Daryl of The Walking Dead) is the hero. Both these games are supposed to be terrifying. (PS4)
- There’s more but we end with another PS4 exclusive called Tomorrow Children. Said to be highly inspired by Minecraft, this joint has a clear storyline and probably a more linear campaign than Minecraft. But it’s all about saving the universe using Minecraft-like techniques.
Little extra
Yes I do mean ‘little’…and hairy. If you love the Guardians of the Galaxy movie, then you’ll love the new Rocket Racoon comic! Yup, he’s got his own comic. It’s available on the Comixology website right now. Go ye and download with haste.
Game on y’all!
