Hungry for gameplay and information leading up to Gamescom, the developers did not disappoint.
Starting with Quantum Break, Remedy provided a deeper glimpse into the world being created exclusively for the Xbox One. The shownfootage revealed knowledge of the protagonist’s brother which may have lead to the break in time, more insight into the time manipulating abilities, and a glimpse at powerful enemies. We also got a quick peek at the live-action show that goes hand-in-hand with the show a start studded cast including Shawn Ashmore (X-Men: Days of Future Past), and Aiden Gillen (Game of Thrones).
Crackdown 3 brought an explosive gameplay demonstration that showcased the destruction and inter-connectivity that just couldn’t be accomplished on previous Xbox Consoles. The addition of multiplayer, and heavily destructible environments show that this will be one of the most explosive games to hit consoles come 2016. Get ready to fight crime as a super cop once more, and this time you’ll really bring the pain.
Last, but most certainly not least, was the gameplay premiere of Scalebound. The Xbox One exclusive title from Platinum Games puts players in control of a human and his dragon companion as they brave the world of Draconus. This open-world action RPG provides quick combat, and a bit of strategy as players fight along their large, quite vicious, dragon. To top it all off, players will be able to enter the fray with up to three friends as they tackled an evil empire, and some dastardly beasts.
This 2016 trio shows Xbox’s commitment to variety and top-notch experiences, and was certainly exciting to witness at their Gamescom 2015 briefing.
