With Dying Light 2 right around the corner, it’s only a given that more and more people would want to get into the first game in the series. Players who choose to do so are making a great decision, since Dying Light is one of the most innovative open-world games around. This title combines parkour and zombie killing into one cohesive pack
The Elden Ring trailer provides next to no information about the upcoming collaboration between George R.R. Martin, the writer of the A Song of Ice and Fire fantasy books series, and FromSoftware, developers of the Dark Souls franchise, Bloodborne , and Sekiro, but that didn’t stop it from being one of the most talked about announcements at E3 2019. Fans of FromSoftware loved the teaser and seem to be ready for the next punishing Adventure Game Money Guide from the develo
Keep in mind that these rankings are not based on most views or the success of the games they were promoting. These are the game trailers that stuck with us the most throughout the year and offered the most compelling content to get Game Rant excited about the games they are promotin

2004’s Driv3r , the third release in an action-packed open-world driving series which originated on the PS1, was a barely-functioning mess which somehow garnered a cult appeal despite its many shortcomings. An obvious riff on the Grand Theft Auto formula, Driv3r felt like the Fisher-Price version of the chaotically-fun sandbox ser
Moreover, it features a good balance between humor and the tone of a crime thriller, like the Yakuza series. Gameplay elements like hacking into the city’s technology can create hilarious moments of slapstick comedy and destruct

Released on the same day as the hugely underwhelming Assassin’s Creedy Unity , Rogue plays like a followup to 2013’s Black Flag and feels like an addendum to 2012’s Assassin’s Creed 3 . Though head and shoulders above some of the less inspired entries in the series, Rogue’s world still felt a bit too empty and bland, and it’s one of the shortest mainline AC experiences by
That said, the main storyline is easily one of the most forgettable aspects of Just Cause 2 . A hasty player could tackle the game’s seven missions in around ten or so hours. In reality, Just Cause 2 is best experienced by ignoring the story entirely and pursuing crazy, self-determined objecti
Thematically, Devil May Cry has little in common with the Yakuza series. However, where the original Yakuza fighting system is like a throwback to classic Japanese 80s and 90s beat-em-ups, DMCV harks back to the hack-and-slash classics like Golden Axe in a single-player for
The short open-world nature of this title allows for a ton of character present across each and every facet of this title. Of course, it helps that A Short Hike also features numerous calming moments that truly add the cherry on top of this short yet delightful experie
Having gone quiet since the release of their last big titles, Dishonored 2 and Death of the Outsider , Arkane Studios returned this year to premiere the first trailer for its newest IP called Deathloop . The stylish and action-heavy trailer reveals two characters who appear to be in constant conflict with one another in a never-ending loop on Blackreef isl
One of the most demonstrable shifts in the way morality systems work now is in the Mass Effect series. While Andromeda’s facial animations and other aspects faced major criticisms when it released, most of which were deserved, it ditched the paragon and renegade system found in the first three entries of the series. The newer system, which gave players the option to respond in four different manners rather than just two, was still flawed, but it marked a departure from the standard good versus evil archtypes, attempting to give players more characterization, even if it didn’t necessarily succ
Often, Xbox brands itself with Halo, Forza, and Gears of War, as those are the most recognizable IP that Xbox has in its repertoire. But having a next-gen Fable could go a long way in letting Xbox present itself in a more multifaceted way. A sweeping, open-world fantasy world with Fable ‘s signature cartoony style could help Xbox reach fans of games like Nintendo’s Breath of the Wi
One of the biggest, if not the biggest game at E3 2019, was CD Projekt RED’s ambitious open world title, Cyberpunk 2077 . The CG trailer introduced fans to the male version of V, showed off lots of newer story elements and plot points, and finally gave fans what they want: An actual release date for the game. With one of the biggest questions about the title answered, the studio could’ve stopped there. Instead, it upped the ante even further by announcing the inclusion of Johnny Silverhand played by none other than Keanu Reev
Now that Piranha Plant and Joker from Persona 5 are out for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate , fans of Nintendo’s ambitious crossover fighting game are waiting to see the next character to join the DLC lineup. There have been various “leaks” about who that character might be, with the most popular theory being that Erdrick from Dragon Quest will be joining the Super Smash Bros. Ultimate roster next. Whoever the next Super Smash Bros. Ultimate DLC character is, it seems likely that Nintendo will reveal their identity at E3 2019, especially since the game is already confirmed for the s
