Best Games of 2014's E3 Expo
The best game of E3 2014
E3 is a yearly convention where the biggest video gaming companies come together to show off their best games and latest hardware and accessories. So far 2014's E3 has been pretty incredible. I will try to pick the games I most look forward to and the most promising. Some of these don't have pre-orders yet or I just don't know enough about them or not as interested.
Some games are rereleases of games on next gen systems as well. I am also not partial to any one company or system, although I currently play on Xbox 360, xbox one and PC (I like all consoles and PC gaming equally).
With so many games this will likely be one of my biggest hubpages I have done so far as well.
Also I will post the North American release dates when posting the release dates but not the European or Asian release dates. Generally games are released in Japan and in Asia first followed by the United States and then Europe.
Evolve
Evolve is a game that has been in development since December 2012, first revealed when game publisher THQ filed for bankruptcy.
In May 2011 (before filing for bankruptcy), THQ acquired the rights to an untitled first person shooter developed by Turtle Rock Studios. Turtle Rock studios was previously owned by Valve and they helped create the Left 4 Dead 1 and 2.
Evolve is a 4 player cooperative game with four human players hunt an alien monster. Players can choose to be a monster or one of the four players hunting the monster. So far there have only been 2 monsters unveiled to be able to play, the Kraken and Goliath (a cross between king kong and godzilla.
There are more monsters available when the game comes out. There are four player classes, trapper, support, medic and assault. Each class will have 3-4 different characters to choose from with differing play styles within each class.

Super Smash Bros
The latest game in the Super Smash Bros is coming to not only Wii U but 3DS as well. While staying mostly true to past games there are going to be some new characters added as well as new features. So far 33 characters have been confirmed for the game. Old classic game characters such as Sonic, Mega Man and Pac-Man are also to be in this latest game as well.
For those unfamiliar with the series it is an original fighting game designed for the Nintendo consoles, there has been three made in the past so far, for Nintendo 64, Gamecube and the Wii.
The game mechanics are very different from most fighters in that the game is more focused on the ringing out or knocking someone off the combat arena. Damage adds up over time displayed as a percentage sign and as more damage incurs the farther you get thrown when you get hit. The characters are mostly from current and past games of the nintendo franchise with different versions of the characters as well (such as young and older link). While there is a singleplayer campaign most people play it for the multiplayer either on one screen or via the internet.
There has also been a nintendo gamecube controller adapter for the Wii U being released as well. Since the wiimote and wii controller are mostly motion based and many prefer to use the gamecube controllers. There will also be a special bundle of the game that has the Smash Bros game, special themed gamecube controller and adapter as well.
There will be special stages for both the Wii U version as well as the 3DS version. There also is going to be the option to create custom characters and customize the fighters to your preference.
The release date for the 3DS version is October 3, 2014 with the Wii U being released in the fourth quarter of 2014.

Assassin's Creed Unity
Assassin's Creed Unity is the latest assassin's creed game, set in Paris during the French revolution. There has been a lot of work on the latest game to fix a lot of the problems they have had with the series since the first game.
The story is centered on the main character of Arno Dorian a native frenchman from Versailles who on a quest for redemption rises through the ranks of the Assassin's organization much like Ezio and Altair in past games.
There will be cooperative play in which up to four players can help with special coop missions as well as story missions. Some story missions will be just for single player though.
Mechanics of the game have been overhauled with an emphasis on classic weaponry of the era such as swords and a focus on fencing. There will also be a phantom blade which will play the same role of the assassin's blade in past games, but with the ability to shoot long range.
Parkour in the game has been updated as well with the ability to more easily scale up and down buildings in the game. You will also be able to learn new parkour moves and level up your parkour skill set.

Alien: Isolation
Alien isolation is a first person survival horror stealth game set between the first and second Alien movie. The game is centered on Amanda Ripley, Ellen Ripley's daughter 15 years after the first movie.
Amanda has been sent to find the flight recorder and look into the disappearance of her mother and what happened to the Nostromo,
She is transferred to the space station Sevastopol to find out that an Alien has already infested the station.
As opposed to past Alien and Alien Vs. Predator games this is more of a horror game than action shooter, similar to the first Alien movie.
The player will have to use stealth tactics and sneak around in order to survive. The alien will over time adapt to what the player is doing and will actively seek out the player. Although you can engineer weapons in the game these are primarily to ward off the Alien and also fight other human occupants and androids.
The game has a retro look very similar to the first Alien movie with computer displays being similar to those from the 80's. You can use a motion tracker as well as a flashlight but these produce light and noise (in the case of the tracker) that may alert the alien to your location.
This latest Alien game will be more similar to Dead Space but with a lot less gunplay and older horror games which are more about survival such as Amnesia the Dark Descent.
The game is being released on PC, Playstation 3, 4, Xbox 360 and Xbox One on October 7th, 2014.

Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain
With no solid release date beyond early 2015, this is supposedly the last Metal Gear Game being developed (at least by hideo kojima). This metal gear follows right after the events of Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes as you continue to play as Big Boss (not Solid Snake or Raiden).
This game will be the biggest metal gear solid game developed so far, purportedly 200 times the size of Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes. The gameplay will be open world with the player deciding which order to do the missions and accomplishing objectives how they wish. A lot of the same gameplay aspects from Ground Zeroes will be present as well, with the option to carry over the save file from Ground Zeroes. For those unfamiliar with the series it is a tactical espionage game in which you use gadgets as well as weaponry and martial arts to remain undetected.

The player will be able to summon the batmobile at will, whether on foot, or if airborne.
The game is about the same in size as the last game with the game taking place in the center of the city. Oracle (Barbara Gordon) plays a key part and she has ste up a makeshift headquarters and batcave in the Gotham clock tower.
The story is centered around the alliance of Batman's enemies around halloween with the Scarecrow threatening the city with his new strain of fear toxin and bombs planted in gotham. This forces the 6 million citizens of Gotham to evacuate with the Batman and the Gotham police department left to deal with the remaining criminals in the city.

Far Cry 4
Bayonetta 2
Bayonetta 2 is an upcoming game coming exclusively to Wii U. While some have had problems with it being exclusively a Wii U title for the sequel (due to Wii U being mostly motion and touch based controls), this game would have only been possible had nintendo partnered with the developer Platinum Games. At first the sequel didn't seem likely unless the first one sold well. The game is also being created under the supervision of series creator Hideki Kamiya who has created Devil May Cry, Okami and having worked for capcom and on the Resident Evil series in the past (see my squidoo lens on the devil may cry series here: http://www.squidoo.com/devil-may-cry-series-guide).
Bayonetta 2 is similar to the past game but with a two player mode as well as touch controls. Bayonetta is a hack and slash similar to Devil May Cry but gone in a different direction. You play as we Bayonetta an umbra witch who can use demonic and witch powers as well as use guns and weapons on her feet and with her hands as well.
In this sequel Bayonetta is sporting a new costume and new haircut (but still very similar). In the sequel you will try to save your former rival Jeanne from hell when she tries to save Bayonetta from a demon summoning gone wrong. In the new game you will fight demons as well as angels, and travel to Inferno (Hell) as well as Fimbulvinter (that links Paradiso or Heaven and Inferno).

Destiny
Destiny is an open world first person shooter set in a futuristic post apocalyptic world. Being developed by Bungie who has previously developed and worked on the Halo games. This game has been in development for many years. It is one of the most expensive games ever developed as well, even more so than Grand Thef Auto V's budget, being over 500 million spent on the game.
The game will be a first person shooter with some massively multiplayer online game (MMO) elements. It will use a shared world and will have players matched up for cooperative and competitive multiplayer and won't use serves.
The story is based in a post apocalyptic setting following a golden age of peace, technological advancement and exploration known as the "golden age". Humanity is brought to the brink of extinction. Mysteriously many colonized plants outside earth have gone under inexplicably. Humanity is saved by "The Traveler" who is a white spherical celestial body who has in the past enabled humans to travel throughout space. The Traveler now allows the "Guardians of the city" the last defenders of the human race, an ability called "The Light".
After trying to repopulate lost colonies humanity finds hostile alien races now occupy mankind's former colonies and the last remaining human city.
The story line follows the player investigating and destroying these alien threats before humankind is wiped out.
There are three classes as well as three races to choose from. The races are purely cosmetic and don't affect how the game is played at all. The classes however will affect how you play the game quite a bit. Humans, Awoken and Exo are the three playable races. Awoken are an exotic race based off of Elves, vampires ghosts and angels. Exo are sinister and powerful and based off other Unead, Halo's Master Chief and The Terminator. Humans are tough, simple race with nothing particularly special about them.
Hunters, Warlocks and Titans are the three playable classes for Destiny. Hunters are the quintessential bounty hunters. Warlocks use a combination of weapons and special powers and are essentially a "space wizard", similar to the jedi knights or even wizard class. Titans are the typical future soldier class that uses heavy weapons and melee attacks.
Also accompanying the player is the robot AI named Ghosts who is voiced by Peter Dinklage. The game's music has been compsed with some help from Paul McCartney as well as Martin O'Donnell and Michael Salvatori.
The game will debut on Playstation 3, 4, Xbox 360 and Xbox One on September 9, 2014.
Destiny

The main player plays a new character/protagonist called the "Inquisitor". The story line follows the civil war between mages and templars similar to the past game. Choices made by the player will can affect which areas are accessible by either destroying them or capturing new areas.
The combat style is dependent on the player and is either a more slower, tactical rpg style similar to Dragon Age or the faster paced real time combat of Dragon Age II. This game will feature a lot more of the world of Dragon age and will be on the continent of Thedas.
You will be able to play multiple races of both sexes including human, dwarf, elf and Qunari. Destructibility of the environment is also a feature in the new game as well, which hasn't been featured beforehand.

EA Sports UFC
EA sports UFC is the latest UFC game to be released, the first of which through Electronic Arts. After THQ went bankrupt, so did the UFC: Undisputed series of games. It is currently out now on both Playstation 4 and Xbox One and appears to be the largest MMA/UFC game so far.
The Fight Night team (EA Canada) became a part of the UFC team for this game and it appears they used some of the mechanics of that game. So far there are 97 UFC fighters including Royce Gracie and Bruce Lee as bonus unlock-able characters. DLC updates are planned to release more fighters in the future.
After playing the demo myself I am impressed with the game, it incorporates the striking, grappling, submissions and more and even has commentary from Joe Rogan and Mike Goldberg. There are plans for a online championship as well with the multiplayer.

Kingdom Hearts is a popular ongoing game series with 7 entries so far. The latest game is the last of the "Xenahort saga/Dark Seeker" saga but not the last Kingdom Hearts game in the series. Picking up directly after Dream Drop Distance. The story will follow Sora, Donald and Goofy as they look for the seven guardians of light and the "key to return hearts".

With a teaser trailer being released with Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix. The combat will be similar to Kingdom Hearts ii but with some additions from the handheld and mobile games of the series. The action will be fast paced like it has in the past with a three player party but with friendly NPCs jumping in to help out.
New and old Disney worlds will appear in the game as well as Final Fantasy characters as well. Since Disney has since acquired Pixar, Marvel Entertainment and Lucasfilm any of those characters might be present but it would have to fit into the story line fo the game.

In this game there is a "nemesis" system, which will have your enemies evolve and adapt based on your actions. You have two distinct skill sets, ranger and Wraith abilities. Ranger abilities can be leveled up and will allow you to move silently throughout the environment.

Pokémon Omega Ruby/Pokémon Alpha Sapphire
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt
Witcher 3 is the game that will conclude the story of the Witcher Geralt of Rivia. The witcher series is based on the fantasy series by Polish author Andrezej Sapkowski. The games take place after the events of the books that have so far been published.
Geralt of Rivia is one of the last of the witchers who are part monster, part wizard but very powerful all the same. Through training and genetic mutation they get heightened senses, recovery, abilities and physical transformations. In the case of Geralt his hair turns white and his eyes look like wolf eyes. With the use of potions he can enhance his abilities further. Taking too many potions can affect him negatively which shows up in the game in a number of ways, so it's a balancing act.
Having played the first one extensively and recently playing the second one, I love everything about this series. It is entirely unique and different from many roleplaying fantasy games. The story is similar to A Song of Ice and Fire and Lord of The Rings. While I haven't read the books, Geralt often takes a neutral stance in many conflicts throughout them and you can choose to do the same in the games or choose a side.
The first game starts out with an amnesiac being hunted and chased, Geralt who comes to stay at the castle he grew up in and trained in to become a witcher. The second one has him following and hunting down assassin's who possess abilities similar to witchers assassinating kings and leaders throughout the world.
The third game involves the "Wild Hunt", which is a supernatural army of beings that are going throughout the northern kingdoms and causing death and destruction along the way.
The gameplay is similar to that of the second witcher game with some refinements. Brewing potions and crafting items will remain in this game but with further tweaks to it. This game is the biggest Witcher game so far, supposedly being 30 times the size of past Witcher games and 20% bigger than Skyrim. The combat will be similar to the last Witcher game, using hack and slash combat making it an Action RPG.
The game will debut on PC, Playstation 4 and Xbox One on February 24, 2015.
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt
Fable Legends
Fable Legends is the latest fable game in the long running innovative RPG series. While this is a spin-off like the last kinect game, it is primarily a dungeon crawler unlike past games. This game takes place a long time before the events of the first game (about 400 years). During this time the Heroes guild hasn't been founded and heroes are common.
The game is a dungeon crawler with 4 players playing heroes and one controlling the villain. The villain is essentially the dungeon master who controls the nature of the quest in a number of ways. There isn't going to be much NPC interaction like past games, although you can visit hub-cities and participate in pub games, mini-games and partake in jobs. In hub cities you can also interact with villagers using expressions as well as buy different looks, armor, weapons abilities and more.
The game is expected to have a long life on the Xbox One console, expected to have a 5-10 year lifespan. The game is designed to integrate with Xbox One cloud features as well as "Smartglass".
The game's release date isn't set right now but you can get a sign up for the multiplayer beta which is to come out Autumn of 2014, to sign up go to this website here: http://www.fablelegends.com/
