Spider-Man
One of the biggest surprises at E3 last summer was
the announcement that Insomniac games was
working on a Spider-Man tilte exclusively for the
PS4. Sony has not made any announcement
regarding the title being at the show, but let's face
it, it's going to be there in some manner after the
buzz it generated last year. We don't know much
outside the video we got last year, so we are
hoping to at least get some gameplay videos at the
very least, and getting our hands on the title if the
stars align. Insomniac is a fantastic developer and
we are excited to see what they do with the Spider-
Man franchise and that slick new suit.
Super Mario Odyssey
Super Mario Odyssey is a really weird title from
Nintendo. Mario has worked really well in the
colorful Mushroom Kingdom, but this time Mario is
jumping into the real world. While the gameplay
videos that we've got so far show a game that look
really fun, pairing up the cartoon Mario with real
looking character models is really creepy. Does this
mean that Mario isn't from the human world? Is
everything we know about him a lie? Who knows,
but we a rumored release date for Holiday 2017 (it
would give the Switch a solid killer app after Zelda)
it would make sense for Nintendo to show off the
title in some capacity.
Middle-Earth:
Shadow of War
The original game had a mechanic so unique that it
boggles the mind other developers haven't
attempted something similar. Thankfully the
Nemesis System is back and expanded in Middle-
Earth: Shadow of War. Shadow of War takes place
between The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings so
we can hope for some cameos from famous
characters this time around. I'd even be happy with
some alternate history DLC like was done with The
Force Unleashed games.
