Upcoming Games

 

gears3

Gears of War 3 will feature a four-player co-op mode[6] and the introduction of Anya (the woman from the comm link transmissions in Gears 1 and 2) as a playable character. Also a hardened soldier named Jace Stratton (from the ongoing comic book series) as another playable character. The game will also feature new weapons, including a double-barreled shotgun and a Pendulum War Era Lancer, with a normal bayonet attached as compared to the chainsaw bayonet featured in Gears 1 and 2, was revealed in the trailer and discussed by Bleszinski. In the June Issue of Game Informer, Epic revealed other new weapons such as an Incendiary Grenade, a new heavy weapon called the Digger Launcher that fires explosive piranha creatures that dig through the ground at high speed before rising up to immolate enemy forces, a new recoilless rifle called the One Shot, that can take down any enemy with a single bullet (most likely to be rare in game). Also, a fully controllable "Mech" suit will be available for use in certain parts of the game. On its left arm is a machine gun, and on its right is a rocket launcher. It has 2 modes, Stationary, and Assault. In Assault mode you control it like you do Marcus, it can even Curb Stomp downed enemies. In Stationary mode, it locks into position and deploys its armor, as well as cover for other Gears from its legs. This Geared Up ride is dubbed the "C.O.G. Silverback".

Release Date: April 5, 2011

Fable III

The fables of Fable continue to be told with this third series entry -- a revolution for the series that gives you power over your character and environment like never before. In this new adventure, players will witness tyranny, poverty and injustice plague their land. They will see a people divided, and they will be compelled to stand up for change. They will also be forced to answer a question: What would you sacrifice to secure the crown of Albion? Will you uphold the values and principles that led to your ascension, or will you be corrupted by the station you’ve strived to acquire? Will you be a monarch of the people, or bring the entirety of Albion to the brink of collapse?

The journey to rule the throne of Albion begins five decades after the events of the last chapter, and you play as the child of your hero from Fable II. As you rule your kingdom as king or queen, you will be called upon to make choices and sacrifices that will test your morality and can affect your entire kingdom. Themes of heroism, leadership and consequence are taken to a grand scale as you fight to unite a divided people.

Release Date: Q4 2010

reach

Halo: Reach is a FPSshooter. A system of single-use equipment found in Halo 3 is replaced by reusable and persistent armor abilities, which remain with a player until they are replaced.Bungie made it a goal to capitalize on every aspect of the Xbox 360 hardware to make every part of Reach look better than Halo 3. Originally, the plan for Reach was to port existing Halo 3 assets and update them, but as 3D Art Lead Scott Shepard noted, "The more we started looking into this, the more we found that realistically we could rebuild each asset from scratch with a huge increase in quality without significantly investing more time." Texture resolution and polygon counts for models were increased; the Reach assault rifle is constructed of more polygons than an entire Marine character from Halo 3. The prequel concept also gave the art team an opportunity to redesign key enemies, weapons and elements of the series.

Released Date: Fall 2010

c2

In Crackdown 2 players take control of a character known as Agent who works for an organisation known as Agency as you set out to bring peace to Pacific City however you see fit. Complicating matters slightly is the fact that, in the first game, the Agent's actions meant the city was almost destroyed and an assault on a research facility has unleashed some mutants that are now running rampant in the city at night.

Crackdown 2 will support co-op multiplayer for up to 4 users and 16-player deathmatch.

Release Date: 2010
