\"In<\/a> How long does a videogame’s life last? I mean, how much time does it take to turn a “simple” game into something worthy of being in a museum<\/a>, or into a downright phenomenon which endures the passage of time<\/a> and is still played, modded and appreciated decades after being released? Selling millions of copies<\/a> surely helps in reaching the “classic” status, as much as it’s useful to not to exclusively depend on digital stores<\/strong> that are on-line now and will likely be off-line tomorrow<\/a>. In the end, as the 2015 E3 in June showed<\/a>, gaming memories strike back on new generation machines as well.<\/p>\n

Dishonored 2<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

\"Dishonored<\/div>\n

\n

Dishonored<\/a> supernatural assassin (Corvo Attano) is back, and this time he isn’t alone: set 15 years after the end of the previous chapter, Dishonored 2<\/strong><\/em> will bring the chance to face a new threat to the empire as the aforementioned royal protector or as the dethroned empress Emily Kaldwin, which clearly doesn’t need a protector anymore<\/strong> and has got the same powers as Attano. Other than two different perspectives on the story, the developers promise new powers and a more difficult challenge<\/a> compared to the first Dishonored. To be released in 2016 on Windows PCs, PS4 and Xbox One.<\/p>\n

Doom<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

\"Doom\"\/<\/div>\n

\n

After spending 7 years in an inconclusive development limbo<\/a> and even surviving the shock of John Carmack’s leave, a renewed id Software<\/em> under publisher Bethesda<\/em>‘s management is (almost) ready to show the world the new Doom<\/strong><\/em>: the historic series’ reboot gives up on Doom 3<\/a>‘s horror and ethereal tones to go back to hell, put many big and bad demons there and send out a single marine (in the single-player campaign) with the mission to kill everything<\/strong>. Like the original game, Doom wants to surprise players with a gore level never seen before<\/a>. To be released on PC Windows, PS4 and Xbox One in 2016.<\/p>\n

Fallout 4<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

\"Fallout<\/div>\n

\n

Beyond the already mentioned Doom, Bethesda (Softworks) also has another sure blockbuster<\/a> developed in-house in store: Fallout 4<\/strong><\/em> will use the same action-RPG mechanics of the previous game to put the player in a post-apocalyptic Boston<\/a> 200 years after the usual nuclear war, it will provide a four-legged companion<\/strong> which cannot die<\/a>, and will offer new crafting opportunities in a dynamic world rendered by an upgraded version of the Skyrim engine<\/a> (Creation Engine<\/em>). Fallout 4 will not be released on the previous generation consoles<\/a>, it will be limited in the frame rate only on the new consoles<\/a> and will arrive on November 10 for PC Windows, PS4 and Xbox One.<\/p>\n

Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

\"Metal<\/div>\n

\n

The new chapter of the Metal Gear Solid saga is a prequel, which means it’s a sequel telling the second half of a story that ends everything. Please stay with me: Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain<\/a> ends the story started by Ground Zeroes<\/a>, and it’s designed as a prequel to the original Metal Gear released in 1987 on the MSX2<\/em>. As usual the entire operation is arranged by designer Hideo Kojima, who worked on what should be his last Metal Gear<\/strong> developed for Konami. Whatever the series will be in the future, Kojima and his trailers<\/a> will not be there. Maybe. The swan song (?) of the too much serious<\/a> stealth action-adventure games was released on September for PC Windows, PS3\/4 and Xbox 360\/One.<\/p>\n

Mirror’s Edge Catalyst<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

\"Mirror's<\/div>\n

\n

The game previously known as Mirror’s Edge 2<\/a> is now officially called Mirror’s Edge Catalyst<\/strong><\/em>, it’s a reboot of the 2008 action adventure rather than just a sequel and it’s focused on the protagonist (Faith) past. Gameplay’s main element is always first person parkour<\/a>, the game’s world can be freely explored with no levels or loading screens<\/strong> and fire weapons have been entirely removed to make room for close combat alone. Mirror’s Edge Catalyst will be released on May 2016 for PC Windows, PS4 and Xbox One.<\/p>\n

Rain World<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

\"Rain<\/strong><\/div>\n

\n

Rain World<\/a>‘s decaying landscape is coming up more and more graphically fascinating<\/a>, dynamic lights are creating atmospheric settings<\/strong> while the dangers threatening the slugcat<\/em> featured as the hero of this strange indie platformer are growing with the arrival of the rain. And in a game called “Rain” World, rain can be something really dangerous. To be released when it’s ready.<\/p>\n

\n

The Last Guardian<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

\"The<\/div>\n

\n

In The Last Guardian<\/strong><\/em>, a vaporware for Sony consoles previously known as Project Trico<\/em>, a boy and a bizarre giant creature part bird and part dog will need to co-operate to escape from a castle in ruin<\/a>. Third chapter of an ideal trilogy which includes Ico<\/em> and Shadow of the Colossus<\/em>, The Last Guardian will further develop designer Fumito Ueda’s favorite themes and will have an open ending related to player’s actions<\/strong>. The Last Guardian will be released in 2016 exclusively on PlayStation 4, it has been in development since 2007 and is somewhat of a miracle which bodes well for Half-Life 3 too. In a parallel universe, at least.<\/p>\n
