There’s a fair few games coming in 2015, but what about the ones we don’t know about? The unannounced wallet-drainers that the publishers and developers are keeping hush about?
Our predictions:
Activision will show off a new Tony Hawks title at E3, possibly taking the series back to greatness with the long-awaited Tony Hawk’s Underground 3. No expensive peripherals either.
Traveller’s Tales will once again build the Star Wars universe out of LEGO, somehow managing to stretch the upcoming Star Wars movie into a full LEGO game. Times are hard and LEGO games always sell, so why not?
Ubisoft will announce a sequel to Splinter Cell: Blacklist with a new voice actor. People didn’t feel the love for Michael Ironside’s replacement, Eric Johnson. Our bet is that it’ll be a direct sequel to Blacklist, more than likely working under the Blacklist name with a subtitle of sorts, eg. Splinter Cell: Blacklist: Warfront.
The Last of Us won’t be making any appearances, but it’ll be spoken about and formally announced with a teaser trailer, not unlike the original teaser trailer for Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End. Ellie and Joel will still be the focus.
Those are our best guesses for what’s to come this year, but now for a few outlandish predictions that are about as likely as Nintendo announcing a Super Mario theme park.
Microsoft will bring out a handheld console. It’ll be amazing, it’ll have three screens and will come with a free Master Chief helmet to protect you from being smashed in the head by Nintendo 3DS fans. PS Vita fans just don’t care.
Nintendo to go mobile. Well, this one isn’t that outlandish, but it’s still pretty unlikely. A Pokemon game for Android and iOS, how about a port of the original trio of games? 500-1 odds on that.
Rise of the Tomb Raider to score higher than Uncharted 4, Naughty Dog shuts down shop and rebrand themselves as a dog-pound that specialises in putting naughty mutts to “sleep.”
So there you have it – our predictions for 2015 in gaming. It’ll be interesting to re-visit this feature later on in the year and see just how accurate we are – or not so, as may be the case.
