From the next chapter in Fable to the leggy absence of gaming’s most sensual ass-kicker, here’s a look at some games and hardware who failed to arrive fashionably late at E3 2019.

Super Mario Maker 2 is worth it for its campaign alone

When Nintendo released Super Mario Maker on the Wii U in 2015, they handed the keys to the Mushroom kingdom to creators, letting them create Super Mario levels to their heart’s content. People are still using Super Mario Maker to create incredible, often genius levels with the software, years later. More often than not, those levels eschew the traditional mechanics you’d expect from a 2D Mario game, using the framework to deliver interesting and unique experiences. With Super Mario Maker 2 on the horizon, Switch owners can be guaranteed that they’ll not only be able to make their own courses, but they’ll have a near infinite supply of easily sorted levels from creators around the world.

While Cybperunk 2077 will be a proper single-player game through and through, CD Projekt Red isn’t averse to adding some form of multiplayer to the game provided that it doesn’t interfere with work on their primary focus.

E3 2019 Hands-On Preview: Watch Dogs Legion feels great to play, but its characters don’t feel distinct enough

Comments Off on E3 2019 Hands-On Preview: Watch Dogs Legion feels great to play, but its characters don’t feel distinct enough

It's difficult not to feel excited by Watch Dogs Legion's ambition. Removing a central protagonist from the game, Legion sets you loose on the streets of London and lets you build your own revolution of Dedsec agents and puts you in control of any one you want. Every character you see walking the streets, patrolling restricted areas and even shooting at you can be recruited with varying degrees of difficulty. Legion promises an experience that will give each of these characters a story to tell, but just how high does the ceiling of this simulation go?

Final Fantasy 8 Remastered will use the original PS1 soundtrack instead of the godawful PC version

With a remaster around the corner and the memory of the more slap-dash port that was Final Fantasy 9, fan fears over Final Fantasy 8 being another rushed port to newer consoles are justified, especially in the audio department. Well fret not, because Final Fantasy 8 Remastered is sticking to the superb PSX source files.

E3 2019 Interview: CD Projekt Red was having internal arguments about non-lethal playthroughs in Cyberpunk 2077, and feedback helped make the change

Cyberpunk 2077 was easily one of the biggest titles on show at E3 again this year, with a whole new 45-minute behind closed doors demo showing off some of the improvements CD Projekt Red have made in the past year. Along with the reveal of Keanu Reeves as a central character (playing Johnny Silverhand) and an April 2020 release date, the biggest change introduced to the RPG is the ability to play the entire story without killing anyone.
