Gamescom 2020 kicked off with Geoff Keighley hosting Opening Night Live. The show lasted for 2 hours (with a couple of pre-show announcements) and featured Ratched & Clank, Call of Duty, World of Warcraft, Destiny and more.
PRE-SHOW
Scarlet Nexus – Gameplay Trailer
A better look at Scarlet Nexus and all of its alien monsters started the pre-show off. There’s a deeper horror feeling to the design of the creatures seen in this trailer and I’m all about it.
This game looks really weird. I mean that in a good way. You play as a firefighter you gets called into a regular old fire and soon discovered they’re fighting all sorts of monsters. It looks like a cross between some survival horror elements and more Dead Space inspired horror-action.
Codemasters showed off the ‘playgrounds’ mode for Dirt 5 which lets you create your own… playground. Add ramps, tracks and more and then share them online. Of course, you can download other players creations as well.
It’s not much, but it’s something. The next Dragon Age game is still ages away and probably won’t release until late 2022 at the earliest, but here’s a behind the scenes sneak peek.
Crash made his way around the empty Cologne convention centre before revealing the ‘Flashback Tapes.’ These are bonus levels that take you back to pre-Crash 1 when Cortex was experimenting on him and his sister.
A galaxy far, far away comes to sim-world on September 8th. Alongside Star Wars characters you’ll now be able to threaten your Sims with lightsabers and other dangerous objects they probably shouldn’t have.
A turn-based shooter in which you only have 25-seconds to make a move and then your opponent can respond. It’s hard to wrap your head around but seems like a great idea if it all comes together.
We haven’t seen Chorus since it was revealed during Xbox’s third-party showcase but here’s a look at some gameplay. It’s coming to Xbox One, Series X, PS4, PS5 and PC in 2021.
It’s been a while since we’ve had a LEGO release, especially a Star Wars one. The Force Awakens got a LEGO entry in 2016, but The Last Jedi missed out. The Skywalker Saga is going to fix that as it includes The Last Jedi, The Rise of Skywalker and every other saga film in one package.
