Ok, so I spoke last time about what the three great gaming companies (Nintendo, Sony, Microsoft) are planning ahead of E3, but what about the games themselves? What are the titles that are going to steal the spotlight and make every gamer say "I am SO buying this on day one!" when they see the trailers? This E3 will be remembered for years to come not just for the reveal of the two new gaming consoles (XBox One, PS4), but for the great new games that are being created as we speak by a number of developers not just for the next generation, but to pay tribute to the end of the previous era. And they are doing a wonderful job, since there's going to be a plethora of titles to choose from. Let's take a look!
Firstly, let's say that there's still a number of titles that will be for the XBox One that we still know nothing about. Microsoft announced during the opening presentation that there will be 15 new franchises specifically for this new machine. Amongst them will be the astonishing Quantum Dream, the racing car game Forza and of course the new addition to the Call Of Duty franchise titled Ghosts. All these and more will be revealed during E3.
Nintendo also have their exclusive titles, like the highly anticipated Super Smash Bros Wii U, Mario Kart Wii U, Super Mario 3D, Yoshi Wii U, Game and Wario and also a lot of titles for their most successful handheld console, the 3DS. Amongst these games are the highly anticipated new addition to the Pokemon series, X/Y, Mario & Luigi: Dream Team, Mario Golf: World Tour and Yoshi's Island 3DS.
Of course, apart from that there are third companies that are creating games, either specific for one console or for cross-console gaming. For example, EA Sports seem to be taking a liking to the XBox One and they will be showcasing their new technologies with the production of games such as: FIFA '14, NHL '14, Need For Speed: Rivals, NBA Live '14, Madden '25 and Battlefield 4. Then there are companies such as Ubisoft that create titles for consoles of both this generation and the next and also make a return to one of our favorite type of game styles: platforms. They'll be showcasing: Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag, Rayman Legends, South Park: The Stick Of Truth, Splinter Cell: Blacklist and Watch Dogs.
KONAMI, one could say, have been in a bit of a rivalry the past few years with EA over who has the greatest soccer game. This year will be no different, since they'll try to win soccer gamers of the world with their new PES 2014 game system. It will be joined on the show floor by: Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain and Castlevania Lords Of Shadow 2.
Square-Enix have a debt to pay with their fans and they know it. Apart from the secret Final Fantasy title being developed for the PS4 that they announced back in February (but no one knows nothing about), they will be showcasing Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII, Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD Remaster, Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn, Thief, Murdered: Soul Suspect, Kingdom Hearts 1,5 HD Remix and Deux Ex: The Fall.
SEGA's team will be showing off Sonic's new adventure titled Sonic: Lost World, a game exclusive to Nintendo consoles (Wii U & 3DS). Along with that they'll also be revealing: Castle Of Illusion Starring Mickey Mouse and Total War: Rome 2.
Sony's worldwide studios are active and will also be presenting their work. Among the titles they'll show are: Rain, Puppeteer, Beyond: Two Souls and Knack.
If anyone thinks that the good old PC gamers will not be properly represented, they're gravely mistaken. A massive number of new titles are being developed alongside those for the new and old consoles. A few of those are: Black Guards, Goodbye Deponia, Memoria, The Night Of The Rabbit (all developed by Daedalic Entertainment), Black Gold (Snail Games), Civilization 5: Brave New World (Firaxis), Command & Conquer (Victory Games), Company Of Heroes 2 (Relic), DayZ Standalone (Bohemia Interactive), Divinity: Original Sin (Larian Studios), Elder Scrolls Online (ZeniMax), Lords Of The Fallen (Deck 13), Might & Magic X (Limbic), Rise Of The Triad (Apogee) and Wasteland 2 (inXile).
Finally, there are companies being represented by one or two great games that are sure to make a bang. Amongst those games and developers are: Batman: Arkham Origins (Warner Bros Games Montreal), Bravely Default: Flying Fairy (Silicon Studios), Brothers: A Tale Of Two Sons (Starbreeze), Bayonetta 2 (Platinum Games), Destiny (Bungie), Diablo III (Blizzard), Disgaea: A Brighter Darkness (NIS), Disney Infinity (Avalanche Software), Dragon Age III: Inquisition (Bioware), Dragon's Crown (VanillaWare), DriveClub (Evolution Studios), Dynasty Warriors 8 (Omega Force), Gran Turismo 6 (Polyphony Games), Infamous: Second Son (Sucker Punch), Killer Is Dead (Grasshopper Manufacture), Killzone: Shadowfall/Mercenary (Guerilla), Saints Row 4 (Deep Silver), Sherlock Holmes: Crimes And Punishments (Frogware), Shin Megami Tensei IV/Shin Megami Tensei X Fire Emblem (Atlus), Tales Of Xilia (Namco Bandai), The Last Of Us (Naughty Dog), Young Justice: Legacy (Warner Bros Ineractive) and many many more will be present at the E3 booths, ready to be tested by potential future players.

Driving games or war strategy simulators? Whatever you're looking for in gaming, this week is sure to give you something of it. The entire gaming world is about to change within the next week.
