Next-Generation Mirror's Edge Coming


I had played the original game when it came back in 2008 and I had absolutely loved it! The idea, the mechanics and the gameplay were very well executed and that constituted to a beautiful and revolutionary game.

Now let's talk a little about what we know about the new game. First there were rumours, then came teasers and now we have this. The below image was tweeted recently with the game's official Twitter account and it seems like the game that we've all been waiting for will be a reboot and will go by the name - Mirror's Edge Catalyst.


That's all fine, but what about the reboot? How different will this one be from the original? Well, it looks like the protagonist and the core mechanics will be retained but the story will be revamped completely. In addition to that, we can expect new moves and much more fluidity to the game. 

The game will be revealed at EA's Press Conference at E3 on June 15. This is another announcement I am eagerly looking forward to at E3 2015.

What game are you most excited for?

Plants Vs Zombies: Garden Warfare 2 Set For Reveal At E3


Great news! Looks like we will be getting a new Plants Vs Zombies game soon. It is set to be revealed this year at Microsoft's Conference during E3 on June 15th. That's just about a week away. The title states that it will be called Plants Vs Zombies: Garden Warfare 2.

Here's the official teaser of the game:


Rumors suggested that the game would release on all major platforms but from the looks of it, the game will again be an XBox Exclusive. It may or may not be a timed-exclusive so we cannot be sure if it will see light on the Sony platform(s). We'll have more concrete news on June 15th.

First Trailer Of Fallout 4 Is Here !


Bethesda Game Studio gave us a glimpse into their upcoming game when it released a trailer  of Fallout 4 last week. The only news that is official for now is that the game will release on XBox One, PlayStation 4 and PC. When? That hasn't been revealed yet. We will have more information about the game at E3 in about two weeks. That's when the developer will be hosting its very first conference ever. The date of the conference is set to June 14th.

The game will feature the protagonist and his dog trying to survive in a post-apocalyptic world. The dog will apparently play a very important role in the game. 

What about XBox 360 & PS3 ?

I'm afraid to say that the game won't be seen on the previous-gen consoles. Here's what Matt Grandstaff, the global community manager for Bethesda Softworks, had to say, "It is not coming to 360 and PS3. The stuff we're doing will never work there."

To the people who were looking forward to playing the game on these consoles, sorry guys. Looks like this is another game your console won't get.

Check out the first trailer of Fallout 4 below.





Unchartered: The Nathan Drake Collection Announced For The PS4


Similar to Halo: The Master Chief Collection on the XBox One, Sony is offering its fans a remastered version of the PlayStation exclusive Unchartered that goes by the name Unchartered: The Nathan Drake Collection, coming only on the PlayStation 4.

The collection will incorporate the first three games of the series - Unchartered: Drake's Fortune, Unchartered: Among Thieves & Unchartered: Drake's Deception - all running at 1080p / 60 FPS. Apart from that, the games will feature a Photo Mode (yes, the very same that you've been seeing in a lot of games lately) and also trophies.

The game will be available both digitally and in physical disks starting October 7th in the US and October 9th in the UK and Ireland. As always, pre-ordering will have its perks, like:

         > Single player skins of iconic Drake outfits,
         > Golden AK-47 and Golden 92 FS weapons,
         > Unchartered: Nathan Drake Collection Dynamic Theme for your PS4 (only for digital              pre-orders),
         > Exclusive access to Unchartered: A Thief's End Multiplayer Beta.

The final installment of the series, Unchartered: A Thief's End, was supposed to release at about the same time but had been delayed to 2016 (details here). Is 'The Nathan Drake Collection' why the game was delayed? Or is it because the game was delayed that the developer had to compensate by coming out with the collection? Either way, I'm sure as hell happy. It will give time to get geared up for Drake's final adventure.

Also, ere's the announcement trailer:
