The next episode in Telltale’s award winning The Walking Dead game is subtitled 400 Days and will be heading to pretty much everything this summer. Choices players made in previous episodes will carry over into the new game which will feature five new characters in their very own stories. Telltale suggested that some of the characters the player meets in 400 Days might show up in Season Two with all the choices they make in the new episode also impacting that storyline.

Another EA reveal was the highly anticipated Mirror’s Edge 2. The teaser is composed entirely of in-game footage and it looks absolutely stunning. The DICE-developed sequel will be released “when it’s ready.”
EA announced a new Plants Vs. Zombies game in a very Battlefield-esque teaser. The game is going to be a multiplayer plant-based shooter. It’s coming first to Xbox One with 360 and PC ports following. No official word on PlayStation releases, but it’s likely they will follow the PC release.
We weren’t really given a title, but Nintendo promised that the world being created by the developer of Xenoblade Chronicles is going to be an open-world experience and give players the ability to pilot flying mechs. It will be released in 2014 with Nintendo promising more news about it in the future. Trailer below:
A first for Sony, the PS4’s design managed to stay under wraps until today’s E3 reveal. Honestly, it’s kinda ugly. I think both systems this coming gaming generation are pretty unspectacular in their physical appearance, but, hey, it’s the games that matter, right? It kinda looks like a smaller, slantier Xbox One with a cutout in the center. Image below:
Your move, Microsoft.
The announcement that Sony’s next system will not change the way we play used or borrowed games was met with nonstop deafening applause. Promising gamers that the system will not have restrictions on used games and that we’ll be able to borrow and sell games at our leisure, the PlayStation 4 seems to be the game console that people were expecting.
Today, Sony proved that the future of gaming doesn’t need to be this dark, dismal place where people are limited on what they can do with their property. Hooray.
Additionally, the PlayStation 4 doesn’t need to do online checks with disc-based games. It’s been reported that the Xbox One will require an internet connection at least once every 24 hours to verify ownership of games. PS4 does not have this restriction. Another win for Sony gamers.
Remedy Entertainment’s Sam Lake took the stage at Microsoft’s E3 conference and showed us a scene from their upcoming Xbox One exclusive Quantum Break. As a long-time fan of the studio and Sam Lake’s incredible storytelling, I’m more than a little excited for this groundbreaking title to launch alongside its Xbox One television counterpart.
Microsoft closed their conference with the announcement that the Xbox One will be available this November with a $500 price tag and Titanfall’s official reveal. A trailer prefaced Respawn Entertainment’s stage debut and a gameplay demo. Titanfall will be an Xbox console exclusive and is set to be released spring 2014. I’ll post videos when they become available.
Microsoft’s next Halo game is heading to Xbox One. The reveal began with a cloaked figure wandering a desolate wasteland. This figure was later revealed to be the one and only Spartan 117: Master Chief. A cryptic reveal with some non-information shared after the teaser. The game will be an FPS, feature the Chief, and run at 60 frames per second.
Capcom made an appearance at Microsoft’s conference with a live demo of their open-world zombie game Dead Rising 3. The game will be available at launch exclusively for Xbox One. I’ll post the video when it becomes available.
