E3 2015 Hidden Gems


E3 2015 had the return and sequels of a lot of popular franchises like Tomb Raider, Uncharted, Final Fantasy or Mario Bros, but I want to shine the spotlight on some new franchises that made an impact and caught my eye this E3.


The first game I want to play is Horizon Zero Dawn.  It looks like the is a in which players take control of Aloy, a hunter and archer, as she progresses through a post-apocalyptic land which is ruled by mechanized creatures, such as robotic dinosaurs. I saw some stealth elements, farming for resources, nice variety of combat and weapons.  Graphically it reminds me of Heavenly Sword.  The release date for Horizon Zero Dawn is 2016.


The second game that caught my eye was For Honor.  Preview materials for For Honor depict skirmishes between Knights, Vikings, and Samurai in large-scale engagements. Centered around a system called the "Art of Battle," For Honor depicts a brutal melee combat focus with a series of stances and authentic close range weapons appropriate to the warrior and period.  There isn't a lot of marketing for the game For Honor which is odd.  Makes me believe it's not finished.  There isn't a release date either.
