On June 2, in association with Summer Game Fest, there was 2 video game showcases. The first one was Black Voices in Gaming at 3PM and then a Sony State of Play at 5PM. There were a few games that stuck out to me today, not many, but a couple that has me excited to play them. Not all of them was announced today, but they were shown.
Toy Story 3: Complete Edition
The first one I am excited about were announced today, but it wasn’t announced at either showcase today. Toy Story 3: Complete Edition, announced alongside Toy Story Retro Collection, has me excited. I have always loved the Toy Story movies, especially the aliens. Even today, when they start worshiping the claw, it gets me giggling.
Carrier Cuties
Carrier Cuties was shown at the Black Voices in Gaming showcase. AI wipes out all of humanity, but the pets still remain. So what do they do? They build mechs and fight each other. It sounds ridiculous and it looks ridiculous, but aren’t those the games worth playing the most?
Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis
Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis is coming February 12, 2027. The game is a remake of the original Tomb Raider game. I started my Tomb Raider journey with the second one and I never played the first game. I did pick up Tomb Raider I–III Remastered a few years ago, but haven’t gotten a chance to play it yet.
Marvel Wolverine
Wolverine is brutal, bloody, and amazing. The game releases on September 15, with preorders starting today. It’s a Playstation 5 exclusive, so it gives me an excuse to finally dust off my PS5. I don’t think I’ve touched it since playing Marvel Spider-Man 2. Today we saw just how brutal the game is going to be. In this world, the X-Men don’t exist and most of the world doesn’t know that mutants exist. We saw Jean, Sabretooth, and more. This will probably be a day 1 buy for me.
God of War Laufey
Usually when a game is announced, it’s just a trailer and sometimes it’s just a teaser. Today God of War Laufey was not only announced, but we got 20 minutes of game play. There is no release date for the game, but with how good this game looks, I could see it releasing sometime in 2027. The game is not a prequel like you would expect, it starts at Laufey’s funeral, the one we saw in God of War. Other series would have the funeral be the end of the journey, but for God of War Laufey, her death is just the beginning.
