    Think this game will be this years Shadow of Mordor. Not one of the major titles but it'll be a total hit. Can't wait to play it.

    Definitely, it's a fantastic game. The combat is quality and there's plenty to do.

    It does take a bit of getting used to. It's not bad by any stretch, but it sounds like it would be better suited to another character. At least there's an in-game explanation as to why he sounds the way he does.

    Really?

    So was he the voice of Scarecrow in Asylum as well? Only played Arkham City.

    I dont think he was, Asylum Scarecrow was higher pitched sort of sickly/whiny sounding.

    Spoilers for Arkham Asylum

    Basically towards the end of the game Scarecrow goes down to the sewers underneath the Asylum (to put his fear toxin into Gotham's water supply or something like that) but he's attacked, and dragged underwater by Killer Croc. That was his last appearance in the series.


    The developers said that the incident left him quite badly scarred and that's why he looks a bit deformed/mangled in Arkham Knight. I believe the deeper, more harsh sounding voice is supposed to be the from a throat injury sustained during the attack (although they probably just fancied a change in all honesty).

    Ah right, cheers.

    Aye I always imagine him to sound a bit like the Joker.

    Evolve
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Take-Two CEO , Strauss Zelnick, has stated that Evolve may join the ranks of the company's 'permanent franchises' (which includes Grand Theft Auto, Red Dead & Borderlands)

    He did however note that the game lacked a strong singleplayer component, and was too multiplayer focused.

    Need for Speed
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    It's been revealed that the upcoming Need for Speed reboot will require an online connection in order to play the game. Here's what the official Need for Speed Twitter account had to say


    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Silent Hill
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    A rumour is currently doing the rounds that Microsft is attempting to purchase the Silent Hill IP from Konami. It's pretty suspect at the moment, but it's suggested that the fee offered by Mircrosoft is within the region of a billion dollars.

    Personally, I find this very hard to believe. Horror games generally aren't big sellers, and the Silent Hill series, despite being quite a bring band, has never had a game sell over a million copies. MS would be throwing money away, for a rather pointless exclusive, if this turns out to be true. Here's the alleged sales of past Silent Hill games:

    Its looking a lot better than last year, that's for certain.

    Bethesda are probably going to put on the best show of all the third party publishers (and potentially the best show in general). It's a shame we pretty much know everything they're going to show, but Fallout 4 makes up for it.


    It'll be interesting to see what Sony & Microsft show off

    • Sony don't really have anything coming out this year, so they'll probably want to make sure 2016 is a big year. Uncharted 4 is a definite, a new * of War game is likely, Until Dawn will probably get a gameplay trailer, Guerrilla Games new IP might get a reveal/hype trailer and something The Last of Us related wouldn't surprise me.

    • I really don't know what MS have planned. We'll probably see the leaked Gears of War remaster, and maybe an update from some of the stuff they showed last year (not including Phantom Dust obviously). If the Silent Hill rumour turns out to be true things could get interesting.

    I'm sure I read something about the Tony Hawk game being at E3 last week, but I'm not entirely sure. Activision don't have much on their plate this year other than Black Ops 3 & Guitar Hero: Live (as well as a new Skylanders most likely, but that's not that the sort of thing that gets much attention at E3) so I wouldn't be surprised if Pro Skater 5 gets a mention.

    I haven't played Titanfall, but it'll be interesting to see how the second game pans out. EA apparently weren't happy with the drop off in player numbers after the first few months, so they'll probably want the sequel to have a bit more longevity.

    Advent Future
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    2K are set to reveal a new game tomorrow, which is believed to be a new entry in the XCOM series.

    Here's a teaser image

    This is the official teaser site for anyone interested

    Darksiders 2: Deathinitive Edition
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Nordic Games are releasing a 'complete edition' of Darksiders 2 on the PS4.

    It's a bit of a strange one in all honesty. The game's been out for a few years now, and it wasn't that big of a seller the first time around. Nordic Games, who bought the IP when THQ was liquidated (as well as Red Faction, Destroy All Humans and quite a few others) seem to be doing it do gauge interest in future entries in the series.

    They seemingly don't know what to do with any of the IP's in all honesty. A lot of them have pretty good potential as well, so it's a shame to see them stuck with a compmay that are overly hesitant to do anything with them.

    The servers of the game are said to be undergoing an overhaul in preparation for the release of the PS Plus edition of the game.

    I was hoping that 2K tease would be the next BioShock.

    I think Bioshock as a series is pretty much done in all honesty. The main team who done the original and Infinite no longer exist, and I'm sure 2K Marin who did 2 were closed down a few years a go as well. As much as I enjoyed the games, I'm not really sure where else they could take the series.



    Anyway I've got a new Tomb Raider trailer and XCOM 2 details


    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Rise of the Tomb Raider

    2K have announced a PC-exclusive sequel to XCOM: Enemy Unknown. IGN will be posting exclusive details about the game throughout the week, culminating in a full reveal at the their E3 show on the 13th.

    Here's the reveal trailer
