On Twitter and other Internet social media, the Gamergate controversy began.Īmong video games originally released in 2014, critics gave the highest reviews to Super Smash Bros. Nintendo released Amiibo in 2014, companion figurines that could be scanned by the 3DS and WiiU systems. In video game-related corporate acquisitions, Amazon purchased the online video game streaming service Twitch, and Facebook acquired the virtual reality company and product Oculus. No new major consoles were released, but updates and upgrades were: the New Nintendo 3DS was released in Japan and Oceania, and Sony released new model 2000 PS Vita systems in Europe & North America. The year 2014 saw a number of events in the video game industry. I've played most of the entries ever since the original, and I don't think we're going to be disappointed with the first HD installment.Overview of the events of 2014 in video games I've never been a huge racing game fan, but Mario Kart has always been one of the exceptions. 2014 isn't exactly brimming with Wii U titles, but the ones Nintendo is releasing look phenomenal. And like quite possibly the best Mario Kart installment to date, which says quite a lot given all the games in this franchise over the years (and on myriad consoles.)īoasting 32 maps, a plethora of characters, customizable karts, online play, and a silky smooth 60 frames per second, I'm betting Mario Kart 8 just might be the game that gets the Wii U's groove back. Mario Kart 8, on the other hand, can only be played on one system:

No doubt, games like Bound by Flame, Watch Dogs, and Wolfenstein: The New Order will all look pretty on next-gen consoles (or current-gen, I suppose, now that PS4 and Xbox One are here.) But they're all going to look best on PC, and games like Wolfenstein will simply handle better with mouse-and-keyboard than with a gamepad.

To be fair, PC is my platform of choice for all of the above. Platform: PC, PS3, Xbox 360, Xbox One, PS4 (later Wii U release date) I'm thinking PC is the platform of choice for me on this one. I've also seen hints that the game may take place in the same fictional universe as Assassin's Creed. There are also so many of these "open-city" games lately, from Grand Theft Auto to Saint's Row to Infamous to Sleeping Dogs, that it's getting harder and harder to feel the hype.īut the quasi-cyber-punk of Watch Dogs has potential, and I'm definitely curious to see if this game can live up to all the anticipation. Sometimes the open nature of the world prevents the narrative from taking shape, or kills the pacing. Sometimes there's lots to do, but it all feels the same. I'm generally pretty critical when it comes to open-world games. But there's lots of little things about it that seem very cool, including a unique multiplayer system that involves hacking other players (and trying to avoid being hacked) as well as racing and a "free-roam" co-op mode. I'm not really sure what to expect just yet, at least from the game as a whole. It's a near-future, open-world hacking game set in Chicago. Watch Dogs is the big new IP from Ubisoft. Platform: PC, PS3, Xbox 360, Xbox One, PS4 And I'll take single-player only over multi-player only any day of the week (ahem, Titanfall.)Īnd there's even a stealth option, making this the best-looking game from Bethesda since Dishonored. So there's a definite old-school feel going on here, in this single-player only game. And yes, mech Nazis just sounds awesome, especially since they have mech-dogs as well.īetter still, along with health packs, you can carry lots of guns (not limited to just two or three as so many games are these days) some of which you can dual-wield. As always, you play as William "B.J." Blazkowicz in an attempt to defeat the newly mechanized Nazi threat. Set in an alternate 1960's in which the Third Reich has won WWII.
And it's great to see that the game doesn't have a replenishing life meter-like the good old days, you have to replenish your health with magical first aid kits.
That I'm even looking forward to a first-person shooter at all is a big deal as far as I'm concerned. This may be the first-person shooter I'm looking forward to most at the moment.
