So went to Eurogamer yesterday, played some upcoming titles:
Dishonored:
first game I actually played, and I must say I liked it, combat seemed quite varied and creative in execution , although a lot of people did quit the game half-way, maybe it just wasn’t there thing . I saw one rep trying to explain the combat system, so I guess there is a learning curve. Another rep told me that the PC version will have a custom hud which can be removed, so I'm hoping for a decent port to PC.
Hitman Absolution AND Tomb Raider:
both games played very well, especially Hitman (never played the previous games) a rep said both games will get the sleeping dogs treatment of extra options for PC so this is great news.
DOOM 3 bfg edition:
Didn't really see the point of this game.
Aliens: Colonial Marines:
This game is amazing, playing only the MP section of standard TDm, it was basically hunters vs humans in l4d. As human you really did have to work in a team to stay alive, as the alien s can easily leap and sneak up behind you for kills. I really do hope they focus on the MP side as this is already better than AVP 2010 multiplayer by miles.
FarCry 3:
Loved it, everything is good, this game is going to be awesome, slightly worried that the hardcore elements of FC2 may be removed, such as enemies not re-spawning, although I think they are randomly generated across the map now. Played the PC version, looks god-damn awesome, probably best looking of this year.
Crysis 3:
only MP was shown, but it’s basically Crysis 2 with 20% more COD.
GRID 2;
looks sooooooo good, even on the 360 version, no more piss filter as well, the car I was playing felt a bit floaty but I guess the other cars should be fine. Game should be steamworks, so hopefully the online community won’t be shut down like last time.
COD:BLOPS:2 :
like every other game but with extra stuff, can’t really say much more than that.
Other mentions:
WARFACE: very good for a F2P game
MEDAL OF HONOR: MP looks better I guess
NFS:MW : made by criterion, so it’s impossible for them to screw it up
Metal Gear Rising: this better be on PC.....
Dead or Alive 5 Spent half my time in the character menu, trying to find the skimpiest set of clothes I could find.
Oh not really Steam related but some Xbox Dishonored keys:
