The 2016 Electronic Entertainment Expo is upon us this week and we're off to a fine start with some new, tantalizing trailers, and with them many more questions:
Mass Effect 4 Andromeda Trailer
The word around the Internet campfire is that Andromeda's story begins where Commander Shepard (previous to the finale of Mass Effect 3) sends an ark-like ship full of aliens to colonize Andromeda, in the event of a Reaper victory, ensuring that humanity and its allies lived on. Who are these faces we see in the trailer? Who is the Asari? Who is the human woman who wakes at the end of the trailer? Is that the player character or a potential companion?
EA Star Wars: A Look Ahead
There are so many little teases here, but Star Wars: Battlefront 2 looks fun, I'm very excited to see what Bioware has coming, and it looks like we get a little peek at Visceral Games' mysterious new Star Wars title.
Injustice 2 Official Gameplay Reveal Trailer
I was never that into the grimdark story of Injustice: Gods Among Us and Injustice 2 continues that story. It's a very well-made fighter, however, and the big draw in the sequel (for me) is the addition of Supergirl. I hope we see some more cool fighter additions.
Titanfall 2 Single Player Trailer
Titanfall was a very good, very underappreciated game. I think part of its failure was the lack of a single player campaign, so I'm glad to see they've addressed that for Titanfall 2. No game does mech action like Titanfall.
Titanfall 2 Multiplayer Trailer
Quake Champions
I see a lot of Quake characters I recognize from the series except this new lady, with the blue hair and teleportation ability. Whoa! This new game seems to be an arena-type shooter like Quake III Arena, but now with a more contemporary twist, where each character has their own unique abilities. I welcome the new blue-haired lady to the arena, but I wonder if we're going to see the previous cast of ladies: Crash, Slash, Lucy, Angel, Mynx, and Daemia.
'The Walking Dead' Third Season Teaser - E3 2016
More Clemetine, more walkers, 'nuff said.
Mafia III Trailer
I haven't played the previous games in the Mafia series but I'm pleased and intrigued to see a black male protagonist in Mafia III. I'm going to be keeping my eye on this.
