So new games on the new consoles I'll talk about 3 though 2 of them are multi-platform. They are Call of Duty Ghosts, Infamous Second Son, and Watch Dogs. First up CoD, this years new installment from Infinity Ward who have done the Modern Warfare series was shown off at Microsoft's reveal showing off behind the scenes footage. While it didn't show off anything particularly interesting, and oddly enough why reveal a game that's multi-platform instead of an exclusive is beyond me, But maybe they're holding back for E3. I've never been a "military shooter" fan so I probably won't pick it up. But the main reason why I chose to write about it is because we don't know anything about any of the other games on Xbox One, and I wanted at least one game for the system so I chose CoD. So what do we know? Not much. There is new customization options for multiplayer but really they should have done that years ago, and the dog companion is cool but I think people want to see actual multiplayer footage not single player. Who plays CoD for soley the single player? Not many people. But hey maybe this time it will be the Halo of single player and not be "just there"
Next up Infamous Second Son. Now I think this is going to be the system seller if Xbox One has actual good games as the Infamous series is second to Uncharted, and God of War on Playstation. Now what do we know about this game? Well we know we have a new protagonist known as Delsin Rowe with his smoke abilities, and that it takes place well after the second game. But again not much is known about the story other then that you can make moral choices much like the first two games. Which also poses the question "which route did the story take after the second games ending?" Well we won't know until more info comes in as the endings in Infamous 2 are quite different.
And lastly Watch Dogs. Another multi-platform game much like CoD will also be released on PS3, and Xbox 360 while that's cool and all whats the point of getting the new system. Well a few reasons come to mind. First, it will likely run and look better on the new system. Second, they'll likely have new features on the new systems like in Watch Dogs apparently you can use the touch pad on the controller to control the phone the main character uses which is kinda cool. And third with the new system developers and publishers will likely support the new systems more then the old ones which coincides with my first reason.
Now lets talk about the game, Watch Dogs is an open world, sandbox game much like GTA and Infamous you're a antihero vigilante named Aiden Pearce who is a skilled hacker. You can do whatever you want much like other sandbox games but in Watch Dogs the city is very much a alive and bustling city with "people". From the trailers we've seen the very much alive and bustling is very cool, and every person 'could' be different from the other. Now I bet you will probably find a few people with the same face but if that isn't the case wow that is an achievement in video games and I am looking forward to seeing more.
