CCP Games Teases New Gear VR, Oculus Rift Work at GDC 2015

Added: 13.03.2015 9:18 | 41 views | 0 comments


VRFocus- There was so much virtual reality (VR) related news to come out of last week's Game Developers Conference (GDC) that fans would have had a hard time staying on top of it all. That made it easy to miss several teases from CCP Games, the studio behind the popular EVE franchise which is currently working on EVE: Valkyrie for the Oculus Rift and Project Morpheus head-mounted displays (HMD). However, instead of teases for its upcoming multiplayer flight sim, it looks like the developer is pointing towards some new VR tech demos for the Oculus rift and beyond.

Microsoft's Vision For Games: Unifying Xbox And Windows 10

Added: 12.03.2015 18:19 | 41 views | 0 comments


Microsoft Has a vision for the future of gaming: A unified experience across Xbox One and Windows 10. Xbox head Phil Spencer laid out that plan at the Game Developers Conference in San Francisco, where he conceded Windows lost the plot with gamers. The time has come, he said, to change course. Our goal in gaming at Microsoft is to let people play games wherever they are, Spencer said. Gaming was once central to what we did on Windows, but we lost our way. Now we hope to have a Windows release thats the best Windows release for gamers.

The games we want to see at E3 2015

Added: 11.03.2015 18:00 | 55 views | 0 comments


The Game Developers Conference is over and now it's time to look to the biggest gaming event of them all: E3 2015. Every year game developers from all around the industry show off their games on the E3 show floor. Sometimes we see games that will be out in the wild in just a few months, other times we get very early looks at games coming years down the line. Then there's the glitzy press conferences, revealing new titles and hardware. Needless to say, it's an exciting time.

What we'll see on the show floor is fairly uncertain. Will the Last Guardian finally re-emerge? Will Mass Effect 4 be announced? Is the Legend of Zelda for Wii U going to be playable? These are some of the questions we want answered, and we're sure you do too. That's why we've put together this list of games we want to see at E3 2015. But stay tuned. As new details surface, we'll update this article with the latest information on your favorite upcoming titles.

It may be any less. With a giant galaxy to explore, BioWare could take the next title in the series basically anywhere... and it hasn't been much more specific than that so far. In fact, all we know at this point is that the game exists and will have space stuff in it. Also Garrus? Please also Garrus.

While it may seem like the game is too far off to pop up at E3 2015, consider the fact that it was announced at E3 2014 with nary a screenshot. With a year since then, we suspect that the development team has hammered out the basics a bit more, and BioWare will be happy to tease the title even more. Maybe a piece of concept art? Two pieces of concept art? We'll see.

Bits of information about have trickled out to the public over the last few months, but in terms of actual footage, fans have had nothing to feast their eyes on since the original release trailer at E3 2014. The dam's looking fit to burst at this point, and what better time to do it than center stage at E3 2015?

Following the success of the Tomb Raider reboot, our thirst for more and bigger adventures (with more tombs, please) is greater than ever before. Plus, Microsoft ruffled a lot of fan feathers when it announced that Rise of the Tomb Raider would be a timed Xbox exclusive, so we somehow doubt it's going to keep Lara tucked away when it's got everyone's attention.

It's been years since we've gotten to play an all new, vehicle-based Star Fox game, but gettinga quick glance at the work-in-progress at last year's E3 has given us hope of seeing a more complete version this year. Oh, how we long to hop in an Arwing to gun down enemy ships with charged laser blasts and sit in the driver's seat of the Landmaster once again.

The good news is, it looks like we'll be able to do those things in the new , only it may be a slightly different experience. The game is controlled using the Wii U Gamepad, and its shooting takes advantage of the controller's camera and motion control, which appears to take some time to get used to. Even so, we definitely expect to get our hands on the game on this year's show floor.

Our anticipation is now out of control. It can't get much more unbearable than this. DICE's upcoming has shown up at the previous two E3s but with little to show. In 2013 we got a teaser trailer showing off the ice world of Hoth, and in 2014 there was an in-engine look at Endor. Now we're expecting a full-blown reveal for E3 2015. Anything less than that, and we're turning to the dark side.

Why do we expect to see it this year? Well, the game is probably going to come out later this year. Dice has set a release window for Holiday 2015, which would be in line with the upcoming Star Wars: The Force Awakens release to theaters. We just hope it's everything we've come to expect from a Battlefront game. Let us see some epic space battles, lightsabers cutting through stormtroopers, and awesome, reenacted movie battles.

The Skyrim of the franchise is coming. At least, that's what the Wii U's upcoming open-world title looks like to us. We've only seen a few glimpses, but from what has been shown so far, the game is massive. The fields of Hyrule extend as far as the eye can see, and the crazy thing is, if you can see it, you can probably go to it.

Because the world is so large, much of the gameplay shown has focused heavily on Link's horse. His equine companion appears to be used as more than just a vehicle to get you from point A to B. For example, Link can leap off the horse's back and enter slow motion, launching a volley of arrows before he hits the ground. And that's just the sneak peak. Nintendo is sure to reveal much more of the game at this year's E3 in preparation of Zelda's expected 2015 launch.

This is a resurgence that you probably didn't expect to witness anytime soon. Rock Band is making a comeback. The upcoming title is said to be making a few changes to the traditional formula (though the specifics are still scarce) to get you and your co-op rock buddies back on the drummer's throne and flicking the clicky guitar strings on new-gen consoles.

Harmonix is saying that will be the Rock Band game of this generation. What does that mean? Well, for one, you probably won't see the developer releasing any more Beatles or Green Day spinoffs as was done before. Rather, the game will be built upon with expansions and DLC. Plus, the developer is also working on making the old peripherals usable on the new hardware, so you won't necessarily need to buy new kits.

Another year, another Assassin's Creed. But this year it appears that Ubisoft is taking on another setting that fans have been asking for, Victorian London. Early screenshots of the game showed off the new setting's skyline, featuring Big Ben and a massive, explorable city. On top of that there were a few glimpses of the hero swinging from ropes, putting on disguises, and dueling enemies on top of moving carriages.

If doesn't show up at E3 2015 it would be surprising. The series has had a long track record of yearly releases, and Ubisoft isn't going to miss this year. You can definitely expect the next Assassin's Creed to be the headliner of the Ubisoft press conference.

No Man's Sky may just be the biggest game you could ever experience. Yeah, there are games out there that have procedurally generated worlds, but No Man's Sky gives you a procedurally generated universe to explore. From the animals of an alien planet to distant asteroid fields, there is no limit to what you can explore. See a planet in the sky? Go there and check it out.

How you spend your time is completely up to you. Want to sit and stare at dinosaur-like alien beasts as they graze on a colorful, peaceful planet. Do it. Want to take part in massive space battles that make you feel like you're in a Star Wars movie? You can do that too. We've only scratched the surface of No Man's Sky, and hopefully we'll get a chance to delve deeper this E3.

has developed a habit of making impressive E3 showings then disappearing for the rest of the year. We've previously gotten a glimpse at the three-person co-op open world gameplay. But outside of a few in-game firefights and cinematic trailers, there hasn't been much to go on with The Division. Hopefully, that all changes at this year's E3.

If the game is still set to come out by the end of the year, E3 is the perfect time to build hype for the online shooter. We've seen the success of Bungie's open-world shooter Destiny, and it's easy to imagine Ubisoft is eager to get it's co-op-centric online experience out in the open.

Having made its debut at E3 2014, seems to be taking the tactical shooter genre in a new direction. As a member of a SWAT team or a group of criminals, it's up to you prevent the other team from accomplishing their goals. In the demo shown last year, the criminals had a hostage and were barricaded in an American suburban home. The SWAT players had to coordinate their attack as they busted in through windows and blew down doors (and even destroyed the floor) with breach charges. It looks intense.

The most impressive aspect of the demo is the level of destructibility in the environment. Players were able to shoot holes through the house's drywall exposing the wood framing within, and breach charges seem to destroy just about anything you can stick them to. We expect to see more of Rainbow Six Siege this year, and to test out just how much of it we can blow up.

is easily one of the most anticipated games of the year, and with the newly announced September release date, we're definitely expecting a big showing at this year's E3. Snake is back (Big Boss snake, not the Solid one) in a console prequel/sequel to the rest of the Metal Gear Solid series...except 3 (and the portable ones), that takes place before MGS 5. Look, it's complicated, but the game looks absolutely amazing.

A few things have changed in Metal Gear Solid 5. For one, the world isn't as confined as it has been in previous games. Instead, you have the freedom to approach your missions as you see fit. Snake has an entire army at his back as well as powerful companions who can join him in the field, not to mention a ton of new gadgets to mess with, kidnap, and kill guards. We can't wait to get our hands on it in June.

After spending way too much time as a Final Fantasy XIII spin-off, nearly tripping into development hell, is finally, finally coming out. Sporting all the giant swords and crazy hair that we love with a whole new battle system and gobsmackingly pristine graphics, XV is a huge turning point for Square Enix. This E3, we're expecting an all-in media blitz.

It's been a rough couple of years for Square in terms of consumer confidence, particularly after it devoted so much time to producing FFXIII sequels and fixing an utterly broken MMO. The once revered giant of JRPGs is on the ropes in the Western market, but if the successful relaunch of A Realm Reborn is any indication, it isn't down and out. It just has to make this year count, and treat Final Fantasy XV like the make-or-break game it really is.

We have a ton of questions about . After all, the game was just announced in December and there are only a few details and trailers trickling in here and there. We know it has classic fighters like Ryu, Chun Li, and what appears to be a newly resurrected Charlie Nash, but the rest of the roster eludes us, as does its place in the series' timeline.

But who really cares about the lore that much anyway? We're definitely excited to see more of the game in action and it seems that E3 would be a prime time to reveal new (and old) characters and maybe get some hands-on time with the fighter. Nothing is set in stone yet, but it's difficult to imagine we'll go through E3 2015 without at least another glimpse of the game.

is a massive game and developer Rockstar has done well to keep the online portion fresh with fixes and new content (with more on the way). But what about those of us who want to delve back into the story mode and maybe explore the lives of some other characters living in Los Santos? We want more stuff, too.

It's about time Rockstar releases a new single player expansion for GTA 5. The series has never been shy about doing so before. Rockstar has even mentioned that it has GTA 5 DLC in the works. We wouldn't be surprised to see an announcement revealing some form of expansion. Gamers have had time to play through on the new hardware by this point. E3 would be the perfect time to show off any additional content.

We've been waiting to see the ol' Chief back in action ever since he threw off that pointless cape in the game's first teaser trailer. We've already gotten our hands on the Halo 5 multiplayer beta, and from what we've played so far is going to be worth the wait.

What kind of E3 would it be if we didn't get to see Master Chief back at his best once again? Not only will we get back in the Chief's Spartan armor, a second hero has been thrown in the mix who we'd love to get more acquainted with. Perhaps we'll get to see more of the story mode, or check out a few new multiplayer maps. Whatever the case, we can't wait to get our hands on it.

Chances are won't be scaring the shit out of us until 2016 at the earliest, but that doesn't mean we should feel safe from Kojima's stunts. Revealed through the now famous (and famously horrifying) 'playable teaser' P.T., Silent Hills has since received one more, ultra-creepy trailer at the 2014 Tokyo Game Show. Since Kojima is the kind of guy who likes to tease games for years prior to release, it's not a stretch to think that some new horrible hints about Silent Hills will sneak their way into E3.

Granted, we probably won't be able to expect anything huge - if the marketing campaign for The Phantom Pain is anything to go on, it probably won't be anything bigger than a two minute trailer, a mysterious character reveal, or showing off a mechanic that lets you airlift giant centipedes after a disembodied head vomits them up. But still, it's something. It's going to scare the hell out of us, and when it does, we're going to freaking love it.

This imaginative team-based arena game is coming to Xbox One and PC this fall courtesy of a publishing deal with Microsoft, so it'll definitely be playable on the E3 show floor. If you haven't seen its third-person action yet, you should know that Gigantic is on par with Blizzard's in terms of colorful, vibrant character designs, and the blazingly fast gameplay blends third-person combat with the coordination inherent to a MOBA.

While the 5v5 team setup will seem pretty familiar, your objective is anything but. You and your dazzlingly animated compatriots are actually fighting on behalf of one colossal guardian, a larger-than-life mythical beast that needs your help to make its way across the map and into enemy territory. Of course, the opposing forces have a guardian of their own - and the battle that breaks out when the two teams meet head-on is nothing short of epic.

Skyrim has been out for over 3 years now and Bethesda has to have been working on something since then, right? Maybe that thing is Fallout 4. Maybe it's something completely different, but it totally could be Fallout 4. We've been waiting to return to the dilapidated, radioactive world of the Wasteland, but there hasn't been a peep about the game coming from the developer.

The rumors have run rampant, mostly based on job postings and voice actor comments from years ago. But, it's possible that the developer does have a Fallout 4 announcement coming in the near future. Bethesda is even running its first-ever E3 press conference. What better game to headline the Bethesda conference than Fallout 4.

Really? The Last Guardian? Isn't that game cancelled yet? Well, no. Not yet. Sony still refuses to close this concept up in a crate and ship if off to that warehouse from the Indiana Jones movies. So, we're still here, eagerly anticipating some news about it's development. Will we get a surprise announcement this year? We'll just have to wait and see.

There have been around that Activision will be making some sort of Guitar Hero-related announcement at E3 2015. We already know that Rock Band 4 is an actual thing, so this actually isn't too far fetched. Activision has made no official comment to confirm the rumor but a spokesperson did say that a new game wouldn't be released unless it had "developed the right innovations to usher the franchise into the new generation of gaming."

GTA 5 has finally been ported to the next gen consoles, and now that we've got a GTA game on the shiny new hardware, it's likely that Rockstar has another GTA brewing somewhere in its pipeline. But will an announcement for the next GTA come to E3 2015? Probably not.

This isn't happening. Just deal with it.

This year's show already looks like it's going to be a doozy. Do you have a favorite title you can't wait to see more of? Looking forward to a game not on this list? Let us know what you want to see in the comments below.

Really? The Last Guardian? Isn't that game cancelled yet? Well, no. Not yet. Sony still refuses to close this concept up in a crate and ship if off to that warehouse from the Indiana Jones movies. So, we're still here, eagerly anticipating some news about it's development. Will we get a surprise announcement this year? We'll just have to wait and see.

There have been around that Activision will be making some sort of Guitar Hero-related announcement at E3 2015. We already know that Rock Band 4 is an actual thing, so this actually isn't too far fetched. Activision has made no official comment to confirm the rumor but a spokesperson did say that a new game wouldn't be released unless it had "developed the right innovations to usher the franchise into the new generation of gaming."

This isn't happening. Just deal with it.

This year's show already looks like it's going to be a doozy. Do you have a favorite title you can't wait to see more of? Looking forward to a game not on this list? Let us know what you want to see in the comments below.

After spending all week covering the news, talks, and products of the Game Developers Conference (GDC), a weekend at something like PAX East was just what I needed. The two conferences once again bumped right up against each other this year, providing a look at two opposing sides of the game industry back to back. GDC is the professional side of the business: a massive gathering of the makers, business people, and insiders that drive the creation of games. PAX East brings together the gamers and nerds that consume those products most obsessively for a long weekend of play and celebration.
