The amount of games released is ramping up as the new year is beginning. Developers are jumping at the chance to be the hot new thing that every gamer talks about at the start of the year. With the excitement of game of the year awards dwindling, it is time to get back to the heart of it all: playing new games.
After the unfortunately disappointing E3 conferences last month, I was feeling a little down. But, luckily, things have picked up again in the gaming world and there are some exciting game releases to share.
E3 is the most exciting time of year in the gaming world. Unfortunately, this year's E3 was overall lackluster and disappointing. Because of this, I will only be talking about two of the conferences, the best conferences: the Xbox & Bethesda conference and the Nintendo conference.
Video game news is dying down a bit as video game developers prepare for the summer game releases. Still, there are some exciting things to discuss such as TV adaptations of video games and a Persona 5 sequel.
The console wars have truly returned this month. Xbox and Playstation are battling it out for the best console. Many people cannot afford both consoles, so they must decide between the two. Both companies are always competing with one another, especially now that a new Xbox and new Playstation are about to be released.
With the pandemic, game developers are trying harder than ever to entertain us. So it’s no surprise that this month is packed with exciting announcements and game releases. Live streamed press conferences have become the norm in the gaming world, with practically every gaming publisher and studio hosting an event or several.
This month’s news is all about hype; the hype for Animal Crossing. The new Animal Crossing game, New Horizons, is all anyone in the video game industry is talking about. As the release date draws near, the hype for it is at its peak. The gaming world has also been shaken by some game delays and D.I.C.E awards winners.
Halloween is my favorite holiday. I have loved it since I can remember. This October did not feature many spooky game releases, but there were still many exciting games released.
E3 happened just two weeks ago, but it has given me time to reflect on the video game announcements made at the press conferences. Unfortunately, as excited as I was for E3 this year, it was a pretty big disappointment. This was not that much of a surprise since Sony, who usually steals the show, was not there this year. Many called it the most boring E3 in years. Still, some exciting games were announced.
As the days go by and we still do not have more news on Red Dead Redemption 2, we must soldier on and be happy about the other video games in our lives.
