E3 2019: Best Horror Games of the Show

E3 2019: Best Horror Games of the Show

Players take on the role of a straight and honest-to-a-fault cop named Cole Phelps as he rises through the ranks as a detective. Fans of beautifully crafted open worlds will love L.A. Noire. The themes and style appear to be inspired by the classic movie L.A. Confidential. Admittedly, there is a lack of activities in the detective drama, but the twists and surprises will keep fans entertai

Supermassive Games debuted on the horror scene in a big way with the hit PS4 exclusive Until Dawn . Despite frequent delays and originating as a PlayStation Move-only game, Until Dawn defied expectations in 2016 and remains one of the most highly-regarded horror games of recent years. Supermassive has continued to release horror titles since its success with Until Dawn , but none have quite had the scope as The Dark Pictures Anthology: Man of Med

Due to the success of Rainbow Six Siege , it seemed unlikely that the franchise would return to PvE, but that's exactly what's happening next year. But instead of delivering a typical tactical shooter Rainbow Six experience, Ubisoft is going in a completely different direction with Rainbow Six Quarantine . Combining the horror genre with the Rainbow Six franchise should make for an interesting mix, to say the least, and we're anxious to see Rainbow Six Quarantine in act

Besides the eight horror games listed here, there are two other titles that should get a nod, though they don't necessarily fall strictly into the "horror" genre. One is 12 Minutes , a game where a man is stuck in a time loop where he constantly has to relive his own death , and while it's more of a thriller than a horror game, it definitely stood out as one of the more disturbing E3 2019 trail

There were rumors that original Fable developer Lionhead Studios was planning to make a Fable 4 that was going to be "R-Rated," but with Lionhead shuttering and a next-gen Fable assumed to be under development under a completely new developer, none of those previous plans should be assumed about the game that could now be in development. If the next-gen Fable kept its silly, slightly irreverent tone while still making the game lighthearted enough to skew interest from younger players, Xbox could potentially have something in its lineup that appeals to both older fans of the original series and new, young players who enjoy experiences like Breath of the Wi

Overall, E3 2019 did a solid job of shining a spotlight on a variety of upcoming horror games that are coming in 2019 and beyond. With GhostWire: Tokyo , we may have even gotten our first glimpse at a next-gen horror game, and so there should be plenty of frights in store for gamers in the fut

Not only did this trailer event give fans a first look at gameplay, but Naughty Dog and PlayStation finally showed off Joel in the game. The beloved character has aged to look a fair bit more like a grandfather than he did in the last entry. However, it is a bit strange that Ellie simply happens across him in the wasteland, and many fans are still speculating that he is just a figment of her imagination. The Last of Us Part 2 is supposed to be larger than many thought possible, which is an exciting possibility and the trailer definitely teases that massive world that players are going to expl

In particular, these eight horror games stood out as the most impressive of E3 2019 . These games were either featured in a press conference, pre-recorded presentation, or during the special E3 Coliseum showca

For fans of the Fable games, the potential for Microsoft to produce another mainline entry in the series, instead of outings like Fable: The Journey and Fable Legends , is certainly exciting. Bringing back this Xbox-exclusive franchise could be a great move for Xbox, especially as it enters into a new console generation. If Microsoft plays its cards right, Fable could end up being the Breath of the Wild in Xbox's portfo

Winston makes a move to sacrifice himself so that Mei and Tracer can escape with their lives, only for Genji, Reinhardt, Mercy, and Brigitte to show up and save them at the last minute. Presumable new hero Echo can also be seen in the cinema

Blizzard revealed Diablo 4 with a very lengthy cinematic that puts the spotlight on the game's main villains and the return to a dark, gothic-inspired tone. In the cinematic trailer, fans witness the villain Lilith summoned, complete with Satantic horns and what appears to be a huge (and disgusting) cape made out of human s

The Elden Ring trailer provides next to no information about the upcoming collaboration between George R.R. Martin, the writer of the A Song of Ice and Fire fantasy books series, and FromSoftware, developers of the Dark Souls franchise, Bloodborne , and Sekiro, but that didn't stop it from being one of the most talked about announcements at E3 2019. Fans of FromSoftware loved the teaser and seem to be ready for the next punishing adventure game updates from the develo
