[hide=Need For Speed: Most Wanted debut]Electronic Arts and Criterion Games have confirmed they’ll debut Need for Speed: Most Wanted on Monday during the publisher’s E3 media briefing
[/hide]

[hide=Deadspace 3 trailer, demo, release date]Electronic Arts has officially announced Dead Space 3, “an exhilarating and hair-rasing new adventure” due for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC in February 2013.

The game sees Issac Clarke crash-land on the blizzard planet of Tau Volantis, a planet which could be the key to ending the Necromorph infestation. To find answers, Issac “must battle subzero, icy conditions and deadly, highly-evolved enemies including all-new Necromorphs, gigantic boss creatures and even misguided zealot humans.” But this time, he can do all of that with a partner, as the game will offer a fully integrated drop-in/drop-out co-op feature. When you play with co-op, you’ll experience additional story details only available when the second character, Earthgov Sergeant John Carver, is around.

Steve Papoutsis, Vice President and General Manager of Visceral Games and Executive Producer on Dead Space 3, said “Dead Space 3 will deliver action and horror on a scale that far exceeds anything we’ve done before. The game will range from the depths of space and tight, indoor corridors to a harsh new planet with explorable environments that offer new challenges. For fans that love playing alone in the dark, they still can have the classic Dead Space experience that makes the franchise so unique. Likewise, players that want to share that immersive and intense experience with a friend now have that option thanks to the addition of co-op. Either way, the action is intense, the adventure is breathtaking, and the thrills are unforgettable.”[/hide]

[hide=Need for Speed: Most Wanted due October, trailer]Electronic Arts and Criterion Games will launch Need for Speed: Most Wanted for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, PC, PlayStation Vita, PC, iOS, and Android on October 30, the publisher has announced. The game will offer players “the freedom to drive anywhere, discover hidden gameplay, takedown rivals, challenge friends or just hang out and toy with the cops.” The goal is to become number one on the Most Wanted list.

Alongside a standard edition of the game, a special edition including double speed points, custom liveries, pre-customized rollouts and two vehicles: the Maserati GranTurismo MC Stradale and Porsche 911 Carrera S will also be released.

“Criterion is shaking up the franchise with Need for Speed: Most Wanted,” said Matt Webster, Executive Producer at Criterion Games. “This is Most Wanted for a new generation of players. We’ve brought everything we know about racing, chasing and exploration and smashed them together in a highly connected open world automotive experience. Whether driving solo or racing with friends in our amazing new multiplayer experience, Autolog fires up competition out of everything as players compete to be most wanted amongst their friends.”

The only rule in Need for Speed: Most Wanted is to race without rules. There’s a start and a finish to every race — but how the player races, where and when they choose to compete, and the skills they choose to compete with — are all up to the player. It isn’t enough to be the Most Wanted amongst rivals and cops. Now players will fight for ultimate bragging rights amongst their friends thanks to Autolog. As the original inventors of the ground-breaking, friend-connecting Autolog technology, Criterion establishes once again a new standard in social competition by recommending gameplay challenges across a players’ social network within both single player and multiplayer game play. In Need for Speed Most Wanted, everything players do will earn Speed Points that will take them up the Most Wanted list — from competing for best race times and battling cops in pursuits for the highest scores, to catching the most air off a huge ramp and more. Autolog 2 keeps intense competition at the heart of the experience — if there’s something to do, there’s someone to beat. And for the first time, Autolog recommendations extend to enhance the multiplayer experience within Need for Speed Most Wanted. With no lobbies or wait times, gamers will seamlessly enter an online world and immediately receive a rapid-fire delivery of Speed and Skill Tests. Autolog 2 will make recommendations to players to help finesse their racing prowess, further fuelling endless competition and hours of entertainment.

What You Need To Know...[/center]

[hide=Assassin's Creed III: Liberation for PSVita] Assassin’s Creed III is coming to PlayStation Vita – but not in the same form as its console and PC cousins. The latest issue of Game Informer has the scoop on Assassin’s Creed: Liberation, a Ubisoft Sofia-developed spin-off starring a female, half-French, half-African American assassin named Aveline, who is unrelated to Desmond (someone else is in the Animus).

The game is set in New Orleans during the French and Indian War (1765-1780) and promises to remain true to the Assassin’s Creed series style of gameplay. It will be released “as a propaganda tool by Abstergo, who want players to experience a gray area of the Assassin / Templar conflict as an assassin rather than a templar.”

Aveline has a mentor named Agate, who is the assassin leader in New Orleans. The game is set in “large gameplay areas” where “you can run, climb, fight, and explore the entirety of New Orleans without loading a new area.” Players will also travel the Gulf into Mexico. During one point (warning: this may be a spoiler) Aveline will meet Connor, the hero of Assassin’s Creed III.

The game’s multiplayer is said to be “tailored to the Vita experience.”

Vita-specific controls include use of the front and rear touch panels to pick pocket others. New weapons include a sugarcane machete, pistols, muskets, and grenades.

The game will launch day and date with Assassin’s Creed III on consoles and PC, which is October 30, this year.[/hide]

[hide=Assassins Creed III trailer, gameplay, info revealed] Ubisoft debuted the first lengthy gameplay demo of Assassin’s Creed III during their E3 press conference tonight. It sees Ezio traverse the Frontier and take out his Redcoat target. Additionally, Ubisoft has shared a CG trailer and new screenshots.

[hide=Ubisoft announces new IP, Watch Dogs]Ubisoft has lifted the lid on a new project in development at Ubisoft Montreal, the team behind Assassin’s Creed, for the past two years. Described as a “ground-breaking new intellectual property,” Watch Dogs is an open-world action-adventure game in development for unannounced platforms.

Watch Dogs follows the story of Aiden Pearce, “a new class of antihero” who is able to hack into any connected system, whether it’s “triggering a 30-car pileup by manipulating traffic-lights to trap an enemy during a downtown shootout or tapping into the city’s omnipresent security cameras to access anyone’s personal information.” Pearce is able to control “almost every element of the world” around him.

“Watch Dogs goes beyond the limits of today’s open-world games by giving players the ability to control an entire city,” said Jonathan Morin, creative director, Ubisoft. “In Watch Dogs, anything connected to the city’s Central Operating System becomes a weapon. By pushing the boundaries, we can provide players with action and access to information on a scale that’s never been seen in a video game before.”

A release date was not announced. Watch the introduction trailer and gameplay walkthrough below. You don’t want to miss it. It’s mighty impressive. (Stole the show for me!).

What you need to know

Tomb Raider neither developed nor published by Konami

puff

I just saw the Castlevania LoS 2 trailer and that looks awesome! I haven't even finished the first one but I kinda want to now :p

I have never been interested in Tomb Raider games at all in the past, but this new one looks kinda cool. Will be keeping an eye on it.

I'm really looking forward to seeing more of Dishonored, Tomb Raider, Dead Space 3 and Need for Speed: Most Wanted.

I know they said BioShock Infinate will not be shown at the show but I hope they show just a little bit more of it as some press conference.

lol, EA's presentation was rather pathetic if you ask me. Highlight was sadly Need for Speed (a franchise that died long ago imo). Which looked nothing more than a mashup of Burnout and the get away from cops idea in GTA. If thats the best they've got, think I'll continue to stay away from EA. (Note, I think I may have missed the first game or two in the presentation)

Chip said:

I..... what? Pretty sure Need for Speed was one of the first games to do that way back in 1998.

It's the style it looks like it's done (it's just a short showcase of it so hard to really tell).. But GTA was out in 1997 :P. GTA still wins

Ubisoft showing painted boobies is okay for tv?

yeah, painted over boobs are ok for tv. Are you just realizing this? lol

The only game I liked was assassins creed, Watch Dog was kind of boring.

Looking forward to Shootmania. I've always been a fast paced FPS fan and also always been big on esports and it's good to see them pushing a new game catered just for that. Ubisoft stole the show so far. Very well done by them.

Good job Ubisoft! AC 3, Watch Dogs, Splinter cell, even the Wii u exclusive zombiu has me excited. Oh, and rayman looked like it could be cool on the WiiU. I thought Far Cry 3 looked confusing. Not sure what was going on.
