My Most Anticipated Games of E3 2018 [REVISED]

by jjrage

With the show over, I've revised this list after letting the hype die down (or some cases, ramp up).

Showing 1-10 of 20 items

Cyberpunk 2077

1. Cyberpunk 2077

Sure, we haven't SEEN any gameplay from Cyberpunk 2077, but the descriptions of the nearly hour-long gameplay demo shown to press sounds INCREDIBLE. CD Projekt Red is one of the best development houses on the planet. I have no doubt in my mind they're going to knock this out of the fucking park. I am absolutely foaming at the mouth for this game.

Marvel's Spider-Man

2. Marvel's Spider-Man

Insomniac making a Spider-Man game is one of my dreams come true. There's not a company on this planet better suited for the task of making a truly great Spider-Man game. I love the look of the combat, the traversal, and the character designs. Hurry up, September.

Hitman 2

3. Hitman 2

IO Interactive gave us the best Hitman game to date two years ago, and the sequel looks like it's going to be more of that glorious assassination sandbox that I spent so much time with. Gimme.

Dying Light 2: Stay Human

4. Dying Light 2: Stay Human

Chris Avellone working on this game sold me on it. That dude has worked on some of the greatest western RPGs of all time. The original Dying Light was a lot of fun, but adding a real, living world into the mix is something that could really put this game at the top of some Game of the Year lists.

Fallout 76

5. Fallout 76

Sure, it's not a traditional Fallout game, but that's a good thing. Putting a survival game in the Fallout universe is kind of a no brainer. It's something new a different for BGS, and I think they'll pull it off.

Anthem

6. Anthem

Boy I wish I could put this higher. I'm still super excited, and I always will be for Bioware games. But the gameplay demo we got was a bit... flat. Poorly edited and didn't do enough to show us the true gameplay. I want to know more about this. Not just the gameplay loop, but the systems at play and the story. A Destiny-clone is fine, but I want to know how much of the Bioware style is actually going into this. If this game is just EA trying to cash in on an emerging genre, it could fall VERY flat.

Rage 2

7. Rage 2

It's 2018 and I'm excited for a Rage sequel. Getting Avalanche on board was a genius call from Bethesda. DOOM meets Just Cause and I'm getting giddy just thinking about it.

My Friend Pedro

8. My Friend Pedro

This game absolutely game out of nowhere, but it's definitely on my radar now. Seriously, go watch the trailer. It's a sidescrolling, physics-based version of Strangehold. Gonna be a lot of fun.

Ghost of Tsushima

9. Ghost of Tsushima

Just the words "A samurai action game from Sucker Punch" is enough to get my attention.

The Last of Us Part II

10. The Last of Us Part II

The gameplay demo was absolutely phenomenal, even if it featured a lot of scripted moments. There seems to be a lot of smart improvements in the moment-to-moment gameplay, and I'm eager to see more about the story.
