Ubisoft outs flashy ‘Assassin’s Creed’ trailer

It’s E3 time so it means we’re getting a lot of really flashy trailers from upcoming titles. No stranger to this is Ubisoft and the new trailer for Assassin’s Creed Syndicate. It’s not very indicative of what game play will be like but that’s usually how trailers at E3 are. We see Jacob and his crew, The Rooks, jump between stagecoaches and run across rooftops. It looks very cinematic and dramatic. We will get to see more game play hopefully before the October 23^rd release of the game.

New DOOM gameplay video blows away E3 attendees

ID and Bethesda's DOOM (Doom 4) was shown off at E3 yesterday to rousing applause. Keeping a lot of the killer elements of Doom 3 (fast pace, maximum carnage, a vast arsenal of weapons plus a bottomless pit of demons to kill), the new DOOM looks and sounds simply outstanding. Aiming for a 2016 release, DOOM takes place on Mars where a huge demon infestation is taking place. The game is famous for first-person singleplayer mode, in addition to multiple multiplayer modes which include traditional four-player deathmatch, domination, freeze tag, and clan arena.

DOOM will be released on Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. The project has been in development since 2011 and is the first Doom release since 2004.
