If seen from the huge space and number of visitors, it can
be said that Gamescom is one of the biggest gaming events in the world, even
bigger than E3. But when E3 is generally filled with exciting surprises and
announcements of new titles, Gamescom Cologne is the place where the developers
continue the information they had announced previously, usually via trailers.
There are so many trailers and slick demonstration videos
displayed in the Gamescom 2015. The videos are worked with advanced
technologies and supported by top cinematographic techniques - will certainly
attract the attention of the audiences. Let's take a look at some interesting
trailers shown in the Gamescom 2015 event:
- Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain
One of characteristics from the games that are created by
Hideo Kojima is they are fulfilled with dramatic moments. But the recent
commercial video from The Phantom Pain is slightly different; it is more like
the Call of Duty.
- Dark Souls III
Loved and hated at the same time, Dark Souls III is not much
different from its predecessors. Since death is the main theme of this game,
the gamers will see the characters are killed for many times in tragic ways.
- Mirror's Edge Catalyst
The successor of free-running game that's made by Digital
Illusions CE precisely comes as prequel. Again you will guide the Faith running
(and jumping) at the top of skyscrapers, while fighting with bare hands.
- World of Warcraft: Legion
Blizzard Entertainment always has high confidence towards
the World of Warcraft. And Blizzard is well known for its expertise in creating
cinematic trailers.
- We Happy Few
We Happy Few will take you to the fictional town of Wellington
Wells in the alternative world of Britain at 60s. The colorful art direction
may not be able to cover the horrible background that's given by the
independent team of Compulsion Games there.
- Rise of the Tomb Raider
Rise of the Tomb Raider is the Xbox’s answer for the
popularity of Uncharted series on the PS4. Tomb Raider reboot gets positive
responses, and this time Microsoft decides to make the sequel as an exclusive
game on its platform.
- Scalebound
The creators of Bayonetta and Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance
is now responsible for making another Microsoft's exclusive title. The premise
is simple but promising: You are invited to take adventure as a dragon rider.
- Final Fantasy XV
Discussing cinematic science, then Square Enix is one of the
toughest rivals of Blizzard. In addition to visual elegance, they always add
videos with emotions; you can see it from the trailer of Final Fantasy XV:
Dawn.
- Quantum Break
Microsoft repeatedly pins the word 'exclusive' at the
Gamescom Cologne 2015, but perhaps it's only Quantum Break which deserves to be
called as 'exclusive'. The game is made by Remedy Entertainment, the team
behind the Max Payne and Alan Wake.
- Star Wars: Battlefront
Battlefront seems potentially to break the sales record, and
also gathers the fans of Star Wars movies and the fans of Star Wars action
games in one place.
