Upcoming Games

Ok, I am a gamer, not hardcore or anything, but I do enjoy the beauty of video games. This year is an exciting time for gamers because of all the amazing games coming out and here are my favourites

Madden 25-
I have always been a fan of the Madden series and this year looks the best ever, not only because they have improved the basic things that they messed up on last year, such as the infinity engine which meant that anytime you touched someone you'd fall to the ground easily. So in basic terms what they have done is made it more like an actual game, where players will instinctively react to other players, like jumping players on the ground, using their body to get around their team mates and other things like that. The most exciting thing for me though is this new Owner Mode, because I love simulation and role-playing aspects. The new mode is where you become the owner and decided prices for tickets, merchandise etc, relocate stadiums and upgrade them (The best part will be relocating a team to London) The game looks awesome and is available on August 27th (the day before my birthday YAY)

Watch Dogs-
This game looks amazing if you like sci-fi and open world games. The game is set in an alternate Chicago, Illinois and the main character is Aiden Pearce, a hacker. The main character is an antihero so I'm guessing there will be some choices between doing good and bad, or something to that degree. The game allows you to hack into loads of different things and the game features, stealth, parkour, and fighting so it should be an interesting one. The game is available 19th November in America, 21st in Australia and 22nd in Europe.

Assassins Creed 4: Black Flag-
When they first announced this me and a friend of mine sat in the common room at school and watched this trailer in awe at the game. I have been a huge follower of this series and have found that the games just continue to blow my mind. In the new game we take control of Edward Kenway, Connor's grandfather who is a English pirate based in the Caribbean. The game will have no loading screens when navigating the map, giving a more fluid exploration mode. You can quickly change from ground to sea and can even explore underwater, all very exciting features. The game is taking ideas from AC3, with trees, weather, different landscapes to interact with. I could go on for hours about this part of the game, but I won't because there is another aspect to the game, the modern side. Because of all the crazy things that happened with Desmond they have steered away from him and have created a new character, you. You become a researcher in Abstergo given the task of looking into Desmond's ancestors, which should be interesting to see what we find out. A guaranteed great game out on 29th October in the America, 31st October in Australia and 1st November in Europe. 

GTA V-
It's here!! Finally another Grand Theft Auto game. It has been a long wait, 5 years to be accurate, but they have done it, and there is no doubt it will be one of the best games ever made. They have took the game back to Los Santos, however the map is supposedly bigger than Red Dead Redemption, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas and Grand Theft Auto IV combined so we shouldn't run out of places to explore anytime soon. Another cool feature is the fact that you are playing as three characters simultaneously and can swap between them at anytime and they could be doing anything. The producers said there are so many possibilities that it is unlikely that any situation will repeat itself. You can do a range of things with the characters such as yoga, triathlons, Jet Skiing, base-jumping, tennis, golf, scuba diving or go to the gym, so there is something for everyone. You can also change the characters clothing, but not their looks, so we have to have some compromise. I'm sure more will come out before the release date on 17th September worldwide, but this is the things I found most interesting.

Hope you enjoyed my views on some games coming out soon. Comment below on your thoughts on these games and any other games you are interested in.
