5 Best Gamescom Trailers You Need To Watch
Check out which gameplay trailers and demonstrations stole the show at this year’s Gamescom expo.
Europe’s big gaming expo, Gamescom, has been the show-ground for a lot of new announcements, reveals and gameplay demonstrations, giving gamers a glimpse of what’s to come in the foreseeable future. We rounded up the five best trailers and gameplay videos from all the press conferences for your viewing pleasure:
Scalebound
Microsoft brought down the house with its upcoming Xbox One exclusive, Scalebound. Coming from Platinum Games (Bayonetta, Metal Gear Rising), Scalebound is sure to bring some crazy action and interesting characters with its dragon-fuelled and hack-‘n-slash gameplay.
Quantum Break
With Sony not holding its own press conference this year, it gave Microsoft to show off some more of its upcoming Xbox One titles, and Quantum Break was another that got a great reception. Coming from developers Remedy (Max Payne, Alan Wake), Quantum Break is a new third-person action game which allows players to use time as a main weapon. But, the hero Jack is not the only one who has these abilities.
Mirror’s Edge: Catalyst
Simply known as Mirror’s Edge: Catalyst, the new game sees the return of the heroine Faith and her free-running antics. In the pre-alpha gameplay footage, below, we see Faith infiltrate a skyscraper using her trademark parkour skills in a cut-down version of a full mission in the game.
Faith eventually discovers a secret lab where something a little suspect seems to be taking place, which sets her off on a glorious run full of kicking henchmen through windows – it’s pretty spectacular.
Crackdown 3
The third instalment of the superpowered Crackdown franchise was also finally shown off, and it really came in with a bang. Fully destructible environments, multiplayer, and a massive city are only some of the incredible features that await us in Crackdown 3.
Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain
Of course, Metal Gear Solid V was always going to be a highlight of the show, and Konami’s massive and highly-anticipated MGS sequel delivered on all fronts. A glorious, dramatic and action-packed trailer showcased what lies ahead for the tactical espionage series when it releases later this year.
