Summer Game Fest showcase was today and just like Sony’s showcase, it opened and closed the show with games I genuinely want to play. Unlike Sony, however there were games between them that I am excited about.
Resident Evil Veronica
Resident Evil Code Veronica is my favorite Resident Evil game. Resident Evil Veronica is a remake of that game. In the game, Claire is looking for her brother, Chris. Along the way, Claire meets Steve, one of the most annoying characters in the franchise. Hopefully Steve isn’t as annoying as he was initially in the new game.
Alien: Isolation 2
The first game scared the crap out of me. I’ve only recently become an Alien fan, but a new game has me excited. The concept of the alien attacking an unsuspecting space colony is really interesting. I don’t imagine civilians having much use for flamethrowers beforehand, if they had no idea Xenomorphs exist.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles The Last Ronin
My knowledge of TMNT is limited to the cartoons, games, and the movies. I don’t believe any of them dealt with The Last Ronin, so I know nothing about the story. I do still love the franchise though, so I can’t wait to check it out.
Dead by Daylight
I have been playing Dead by Daylight every now and then since its release in 2016. While it’s become boring just doing generators over the years, new killers can make the game feel a little different at least. A few weeks ago Jason Vorhees was announced as the next killer. The ten year event has promised more surprises than a killer reveal.
Control: Resonant
This was shown at the Sony showcase and I wasn’t that interested in it at the time. Since then it was announced to be a Play Anywhere title, that combined with the trailer from today has me pretty hyped up for this game. I enjoyed the first one, I will probably check out Alan Wake Remake and Alan Wake 2 before playing Resonant though. One of the DLCs for Control was AWE that confirmed Alan Wake and Control share a universe, when Alan Wake appeared in Control.
Star Wars: Galactic Racer
I’m not a fan of racing games, but I did love the Burnout series. Some of the developers from Burnout went onto the team making this game and you can tell. This game looks like Burnout meets Star Wars. What that creates is a fun looking game.
Final Fantasy VII Revelation
I loved the original Final Fantasy VII. I haven’t played the remake series yet, but part of me didn’t want to wait years between parts. I already own the first part of the series, I preordered it on Xbox when it was announced. Now that the third game is coming out, I might have to sit down and play the series.
This year’s showcases have been pretty decent so far. There are still a bunch tomorrow and then Xbox and PC Game Show on Sunday, but right now, I have been pretty happy with what’s been shown so far.
