Why do not we try to create a detailed guide to the games that still have to come out this year for different gaming platforms? Let's start with the Sony PlayStation 4 console. What will be its owners in 2015?
In the series of materials of my small authoring project, I will highlight the most interesting gaming innovations for each gaming platform, which should be born during 2015. Some games will have to be mentioned several times, as they will be released for several systems at once, so do not be afraid of repetitions. I will not specifically mention games that are of little or no impression on me. Let's focus exclusively on worthy projects. Please note that some games do not yet have an official release date, so in the "Exit Date" column there will be something like "end of 2015". Well, let's go!
Dying light
Genre: Action
Exclusivity: will also be released on Xbox One and PC
Release date in Russia: January 27
Action from the Polish studio Techland again offers us to fight the hordes of zombies, mindlessly roaming the streets of the city. At this time, the main character who is fond of parkour, which is not so easy to catch, being a clumsy ghoul, will become the hallmark of the game. At first glance, the game looks quite attractive, but as it turns out in reality - here you have to touch it all with your own hands. Very pleased with the bold decision of developers to abandon the creation of versions of the game for the old PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 consoles in order to create more advanced graphics instead of the average. This is now rarely seen in the gaming industry.
Life is strange
Genre: Adventure
Exclusivity: will also be released on PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and Xbox One
Release date in Russia: the first episode of the game will be released January 30
Mystical adventure game Life is Strange tells us the story of a girl with a male name Max, who must investigate the circumstances of the mysterious disappearance of his girlfriend Chloe. The game is a bit like a mixture of the Twin Peaks series, the games of Heavy Rain and the novels of Stephen King, add to this the ability of the main character to move in time and you will get an incredibly exciting project. The only drawback of the game is that it will be released as episodes. The first should come out at the end of this month, so it’s not so long to wait.
Evolve
Genre: Action / FPS
Exclusivity: will also be released on Xbox One and PC
Release date in Russia: February 10
The game, which is the spiritual successor of the series Left 4 Dead. Multiplayer shooter in which a team of four hunter players is forced to fight a monster, which is controlled by the opposing player. Characters are divided into four classes: support fighters, attack aircraft, trackers and doctors. Together they must be a well-coordinated team, otherwise the monster will deal with them quickly enough. The monsters in the game are also four classes, but each of them is able to evolve during the game, taking an even more dangerous form for hunters. In order to evolve, the monster must hunt for various fauna that inhabit the game cards, and accumulate special points. After accumulating a certain number of points, he can pupate and be reborn in a more perfect form.
The Order: 1886
Genre: Action / Adventure
Exclusivity: yes
Release date in Russia: February 20
Studio Ready at Dawn was known only for a few very high-quality games for the PSP handheld console. Now, Sony has given the studio complete freedom of action to implement the large-budget project. They became the game The Order: 1886, the action of which unfolds in the alternative Victorian London of the late XIX century. The game is directly saturated with the atmosphere of steampunk, but at the same time offers players fantastic technologies that do not exist even in our time. Visually, the game looks like you are watching a quality CG screensaver. It is difficult to distinguish the gameplay from the storyline, and this is the main trump card of the project. The team of heroes of the game, consisting of modern knights of the round table, fights with terrible mutants, and the special substance “Black Water” helps them in this, capable of healing any wounds on the human body and allowing him to overcome aging.
Project CARS
Genre: Simulator
Exclusivity: will also be released on Xbox One, Wii U and PC
Release date in Russia: March 17
One of the most beautiful and realistic car simulators in the world is finally ready to show us its final look. The game was transferred several times to bring to mind, but the players were already too much waiting. The game will offer us a lot of game modes, which include rally, races on maps, GT and even 24 hours of Le Mans. You can play alone or online with friends. The game will also include more than 60 licensed cars, more than 35 real-life racetracks, as well as an editor with which players can edit their cars as they like. In other words, we have a serious contender for the title of the main competitor of the Gran Turismo series.
Final Fantasy Type-0 HD
Genre: Action / RPG
Exclusivity: will also be released on Xbox One
Release date in Russia: March 20
Long-suffering Japanese role-playing game from the famous series of Final Fantasy. It was announced back in 2006 under the name Final Fantasy Agito XIII for Japanese mobile phones. Two years later, the vain attempts of developers to put their ideas into a mobile application, it was decided to rework the game for the PlayStation Portable, which she released in 2011 as Final Fantasy Type-0. In 2014, the announcement of an updated version of the game, which will be released for the new generation of consoles PS4 and Xbox One. The game was greatly reworked, improving its graphics, stretching the resolution and adding new content. Another bonus for players who have pre-ordered this game will be the exclusive demo version of Final Fantasy XV in the kit, which you cannot get in any other way. Well, a very tricky marketing ploy from Square Enix.
Bloodborne
Genre: Action / RPG
Exclusivity: yes
Release date in Russia: March 25
The game is from the creators of the series Dark Souls (formerly Demon's Souls) of the Japanese studio From Software. If you once played this “dark fantasy”, then imagine all that hardcore and careful study of the world, who are waiting for players in this exclusive for the PS4 console. The game takes place in the gloomy city of Yarnam, engulfed in a mysterious epidemic that turns people into monsters. The main character is a monster hunter who fights with the terrible creatures of darkness and tries to end the plague. People who had already tried out the beta version of the game in the fall of this year, were delighted with the incredible graphics and atmosphere of this project. It is safe to say that Bloodborne will appeal to those gamers who love difficulties. From Software does not make casual games that can be played while yawning and sipping cocktails.
Mortal kombat x
Genre: Fighting
Exclusivity: will also be released on PlayStation 3, Xbox One, Xbox 360 and PC
Release date in Russia: April 14
The tenth part (minus spin-offs) of the cult fighting game Mortal Kombat will be released in April of this year. The developers promise us even more brutal finishing Fatality, even more cinematic gameplay with well-developed characters, even more special tricks and combo chains, as well as much, much more. Do I need to change something in this already wonderful series? I think that development should be exceptionally qualitative and quantitative, but the basic idea of the series should not be radically changed. Since the game is released simultaneously on five platforms, including on consoles of the previous generation, one should not expect any revelation in terms of graphics from it. But after all, Mortal Kombat has always pleased us not so much with graphics as amazingly spectacular battles.
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt
Genre: Action / RPG
Exclusivity: will also be released on Xbox One and PC
Release date in Russia: May 19
If this year the main role-playing game was Dragon Age: Inquisition, then next year The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt from the Polish studio CD Projekt RED claims for this title. Continuing the adventures of the fearless witch Geralt of Rivia will immerse you in the unique atmosphere of dark fantasy that has never looked so beautiful. The developers promise us the game world, which is 30 times more than the two previous games and even 20% more than the world map in Skyrim. To complete the storyline of the game, you will have to spend at least 50 hours, and to go through additional sidequests, you will have to spend another 50 hours at the screen. Impressive, isn't it?
Batman: Arkham Knight
Genre: Action / Adventure
Exclusivity: will also be released on Xbox One and PC
Release date in Russia: June 2
Finally, a series of games about Batman will move to a new generation of gaming consoles and acquire absolutely incredible graphics. The game and before that looked surprisingly great, and now it will become simply irresistible. The size of the game world at times exceeds everything that you saw in its previous parts. And given that the Dark Knight will be able to drive around on his land on the Batmobile, many are already impatient to touch this game as soon as possible. It is sad only to realize that this game will be the triumphant conclusion of this series.
Ratchet and Clank Remastered
Genre: Action / Platformer
Exclusivity: yes
Release date in Russia: the second quarter of 2015
Remake of the popular platformer from the PS2 hit line for the new PlayStation 4 console was a pleasant surprise for many fans of the Ratchet and Clank series. The game will be reworked from scratch and as a result should look like a full-fledged CG-movie. By the way, Sony Pictures in parallel creates an animated film based on this game. It is this film that you can see in the trailer a little higher, since the footage from the updated game on the Web has not yet leaked. As a result, the game should look, if not exactly the same as this film, then somewhere very close.
Until dawn
Genre: Horror / Adventure
Exclusivity: yes
Release date in Russia: summer 2015
The films of the genre "youth horror" we all tired of order. But what do you say if you have the opportunity to become the hero of one of these films yourself? Until Dawn will give you the opportunity to deceive a cunning maniac who hunts you and your friends in a huge country mansion. It is up to your choice and skills that will depend on which of the eight characters will survive, and who will forever remain in this house. Quite well-known actors from various youth films and TV series like Hayden Panettiere, who played one of the main roles in the series “Heroes”, took part in the creation of the game. Very interesting in the game will be used the features of the game controller DualShock 4. At dangerous moments, your character will need to stand still and not move, so that the killer does not notice it. If you move, your controller using a gyro will notice it, and after it a killer will notice you. So it goes.
Uncharted 4: A Thief's End
Genre: Action / Adventure
Exclusivity: yes
Release date in Russia: Autumn 2015
From the fourth part, Uncharted waited so much that when the Naughty Dog studio showed the first shots from the alpha version of the game, many players began to grumble. Like, the graphics are no good, and in general, sheer disappointment, not the next-gen-project. Nevertheless, all these people have only become victims of their own heightened expectations, and the game is a truly advanced development. Is it a joke, in real time, to use rendering technologies on which Pixar animation films are based? Each hair on the body of the main character interacts with the wind, including the hair on his chest (this fact cheers the game developers a lot). The clothes of the heroes appear the smallest folds, which were not drawn in advance, but are the result of physical interactions of materials. The main character Nathan Drake in the arsenal has 850 different facial expressions. For comparison: in Uncharted 3 for the PS3 console, he had only 120 emotions. The game promises to be more than impressive, and considering that we were shown only a piece of a rather monotonous level, most likely, the developers laid out the brightest for later.
Persona 5
Genre: RPG / Simulation
Exclusivity: will also be released on PlayStation 3
Release date in Russia: Autumn 2015
Persona is the iconic jRPG series in Japan. As a rule, she tells various stories about groups of teenagers who are confronted with some otherworldly forces or simply with their inner demons. The games of this series are distinguished by deep psychologism (the games for the most part are based on the teachings of the Swiss psychologist Carl Jung), careful elaboration of the characters and some romanticism, since you are strongly attached to the heroes of the game during its passage. It is difficult to explain in words, so be sure to try the game yourself and draw the necessary conclusions.
Tom Clancy's The Division
Genre: Action / Adventure
Exclusivity: will also be released on Xbox One and PC
Release date in Russia: Autumn 2015
To be honest, I am not very inclined to trust Ubisoft Studios in terms of the level of graphics that we are shown in beautiful videos. In the end, things may not be as rosy as many might have initially thought. We already got a stripped-down visual component in Watch Dogs and Far Cry 4. The same thing could happen to Tom Clancy's The Division. Marketing in the world of video games is a cruel thing. Let me remind you that the game will tell about how a group of special agents is trying to maintain order in post-apocalyptic New York, cleaning the city from looters and saving defenseless civilians.
The tomorrow children
Genre: Sandbox
Exclusivity: yes
Release date in Russia: 2015
The game is a sandbox, something reminiscent of Minecraft in the atmosphere of Soviet totalitarianism. Too many details hint to us that we find ourselves in a real dystopia, where all citizens of the fantasy world work hard every day for the sake of a great goal. In fact, the action of the game takes place in a fantastic place known as "Emptiness". Consciousness of inhabitants of the Earth moved after it after an unsuccessful scientific experiment. You will need to master various professions like a radio operator, a miner, an engineer or a soldier to restore human civilization and fight off mysterious monsters who will constantly attack your settlement. A very unusual visual style and atmosphere of the game can both push you away, and, conversely, delay it for long hours.
Rime
Genre: Adventure / Platformer
Exclusivity: yes
Release date in Russia: 2015
A stunningly beautiful adventure game that is being developed by a young but very ambitious studio Tequila Works. The game is a bit like a classic project for the PlayStation 2 console, which is called ICO. There the boy also had to travel through a fantasy world and solve various puzzles. I boldly call this game my favorite this year and look forward to its release with great impatience. We really miss such fabulous games. You can not always play solid shooters?
Everybody's Gone to the Rapture
Genre: Adventure
Exclusivity: yes
Release date in Russia: 2015
A new project from the creators of the games Dear Esther and Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs by Dan Pinchbek and Jessica Curry from The Chinese Room studio. The game is being developed in conjunction with the Santa Monica Studio, which is owned by Sony, so the probability that the game will be released on other platforms is zero. In the center of the plot will be six characters, each of which will tell you their story. All these people have to endure as much as a real apocalypse. The game is created using the fourth generation CryEngine graphics engine, so it should look more than attractive.
The witness
Genre: Puzzle
Exclusivity: temporary exclusive PS4, after a while the game will be released on other platforms
Release date in Russia: 2015
Beautiful puzzle from the creator of the game Braid Jonathan Blow. This developer differs from his colleagues by a maniacal striving to achieve an ideal result in his work. That is why his new game The Witness has been developed for more than five years. The essence of the game is to solve numerous puzzles, the character could move across the expanses of a picturesque tropical island. His goal is a mountain on the horizon, to which you need to get at any cost. To complete the game you will have to solve more than 400 puzzles that the developer has invented.
No man's sky
Genre: Adventure / Simulator
Exclusivity: temporary exclusive PS4, later the game will be released on other platforms
Release date in Russia: 2015
The uniqueness of this game lies in the fact that it procedurally generates a giant game universe literally before your eyes. Literally from virtual atoms creates planets, their landscape, flora and fauna, atmospheric conditions and much, much more. You get the role of researchers in distant worlds. Discover the unknown, study the species of animals and plants unprecedented by humans, get down to the bottom of the mysterious oceans, fight hostile aliens, collect valuable resources and improve your starship. In other words - do whatever your heart desires.
Tearaway: Unfolded
Genre: Platformer
Exclusivity: yes
Release date in Russia: 2015
Initially, this game was released on a PlayStation Vita pocket console, but later it was decided to finalize and transfer it to the PlayStation 4's older console so that as many people as possible could see it. Let me remind you that this game was developed by the same people who invented the LittleBigPlanet series, so the creativity in this project literally hits from all the cracks. The world of Teraway Unfolded is completely made of paper. Paper characters, paper wind, paper sun rises over the paper sea - it looks just incredibly beautiful and amazing. The developers wiped out more than one ton of paper before they recreated the behavior of this material in their game. Believe me, this game will appeal to not only your children, but you too.
Deep down
Genre: Action / RPG
Exclusivity: yes
Release date in Russia: 2015
About this game, nothing has been heard for quite some time, except for the tiny videos that developers publish from time to time. Deep Down is a free-2-play role-playing game, the action of which takes place in randomly generated dungeons. You will be able to play the game alone or in the company of friends, since in this case special emphasis was placed on the online component. Visually, the game is very beautiful and can impress anyone with its beauties. But how interesting will it be to go through all these endless dungeons?
Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain
Genre: Stealth / Action
Exclusivity: will also be released on PlayStation 3, Xbox One, Xbox 360 and PC
Release date in Russia: 2015
The fifth game about giant human-like robots and seasoned agent Snake in a cardboard box should go on sale before the end of this year. The game promises us a gigantic open world for research and a ton of epic moments with inherent patches of ingenious humor inherent in MGS developer Hideo Kojima. Get ready for incredible plot twists that will take your breath away, as well as the new voice of the main character, which is not voiced by David Hayter, but (!!!) Kiefer Sutherland! Yes, yes, the same actor who played the role of the unbeatable Jack Bauer from the series "24 hours".
Here, in my opinion, the main games that should be expected this year to the owners of the PlayStation 4. Theoretically, something from this list can be transferred to 2016, but let's believe in the best. Of course, with all my desire, I could not cover the whole variety of games that will be released for this gaming console - the list is too big. If you think that I missed something very important, be sure to write me about it in the comments. I will appreciate your choice, and if the game is really worth it, we will include it in the list that other readers will be able to see.
I hope you liked the first material from the series “What to play in 2015”. Comment on it, express your opinion - for any author, first of all, it is important to know what the readers think about his work. I will devote the following material to the gaming lineup of the Xbox One console for 2015.
