Let’s Play DOOM Single-Player Demo June 16, 2016

E3 2016 is rapidly becoming a memory, but we’ve got tons of E3 content coming to this site over the next few days.

First up is a bit of a return to our roots. When we first started doing Let’s Plays on this website we decided to only cover demos or first portions of the game instead of playing a game all the way through. The reason behind that was we wanted people to pick up the games and didn’t want to ruin the game experience. Demand started coming in to play more and more of a game (which we happily obliged -Ed) but there haven’t been too many demos for us to look at until this week!

What better demo to get back to playing than the demo for the new DOOM game?  It’s only going to be free to download this week on PS4, Xbox One and STEAM and then it will be discontinued. We will be playing the first level of the game with full video commentary.

The first DOOM was one of the most popular demos of its age, let’s see how this one is!

DOOM is out now for PC, Xbox One and PS4.

Detroit: Become Human E3 2016 David Cage Interview June 16, 2016

There is no exclusive coming to the PS4 I’m anticipating more than Detroit. Directed by David Cage, who you may remember for their awesomely unique titles Indigo Prophecy (Fahrenheit), Heavy Rain and Beyond: Two Souls, Detroit is a futuristic noir where you control androids nearly indistinguishable from humans.

The game had a great showing when their newest trailer premiered at the Sony E3 2016 Press Event, but that was all we had to go on.  Yesterday, David Cage did an interview with PlayStation and we got to see our first active preview of the game and hear a bit more about the inspiration behind this title.

Detroit: Become Human is coming exclusively to the PS4.

This morning, Nintendo hosted a developer Q&A session at E3 2016 for the upcoming Smartphone game Pokémon Go.

If you have been dying to see your first glimpse of Pokémon Go gameplay and hear more about the game before it launches, you need to watch this video.

Pokémon Go is coming soon to Android and iOS Smartphones.

Pokemon Go Plus Price and Release Schedule June 15, 2016

Since Pokémon Go was first announced, Nintendo and The Pokémon Company have been very quiet about its development process.  Today, Nintendo has just offered a massive trove of information about the upcoming smartphone game to kick off E3 Day 2!

A major component of Pokémon Go is the Pokémon Go Plus accessory. This is a Bluetooth Device that will interact directly with the Pokémon Go app on your smartphone to notify Pokémon Go Trainers without them needing to constantly check their phones.

When you are near a Pokémon, Pokémon Go Plus will vibrate and signal you with a specific color light. You can then push a button on the Plus to launch a Pokeball at the Pokémon. If the capture is successful, the Plus will flash a rainbow of several different colors, and a failed capture will be indicated by a solid red light.  You can then check your app at your leisure to see what you captured.

So how much will this cool device cost and when can we expect it?  Myamoto himself confirmed Pokémon Go Plus will be out at the end of July for a price of $34.99. This is great news, as this isn’t that far away and obviously the Pokémon Go app itself will need to be released before the accessory is!

Only the Pokémon from Pokémon Red and Pokémon Blue will be available at the app’s launch. This was an intentional decision due to it being the 20th anniversary of Pokémon.

Pokémon Go is coming to Android and iOS devices!

Nintendo kicked off their E3 2016 coverage this morning by previewing the newest games in the Pokémon franchise, Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon.

Today’s preview showcased some of the game’s opening. We got our first look at the new interface with gameplay enhancements (including diagonal movement), new graphics and improved scaling. Of course that’s just the easiest things to describe here, if you want to see some of the new Pokémon in action just watch the video below.

Hope you enjoyed it, Nintendo promises to preview more of the game tomorrow!

Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon are coming November 2016 to the Nintendo 3DS.

Earlier this morning, Nintendo revealed the first full trailer for the next game in The Legend of Zelda series. Shortly after that, before devoting nearly an entire day to previewing the next Zelda title, they hosted a great preview of the staring area of the seventh generation Pokémon games.

While that preview has not been published yet (trust us when it is we will publish it here), they did show some brand new Pokémon that you’ll be able to catch in that game. If you missed the preview and want to see the new Pokémon up close, please enjoy.

A longer preview of Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon is scheduled tomorrow from Nintendo’s booth at E3 2016.  Stay tuned for that!

Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon are coming November 2016 to the Nintendo 3DS.

BROTHERHOOD – Final Fantasy XV Episode 2 Released June 14, 2016

Since it was first announced, we’ve known the story of Final Fantasy XV will revolve around Prince Noctis and his three men. These men would do anything to protect Noctis, not just because he’s their Prince, because he’s their friend.

How did Prince Noctis and his men become so close?  Square Enix has created BROTHERHOOD: Final Fantasy XV, a five part traditionally animated series about the backstory of Noctis and his men. In episode 2, we learn about the history of Prospero, who you might remember is the guy you’ll control in the PlayStation VR version of the game.

Fair warning, be prepared to cry at the end of this one.

Three more episodes of BROTHERHOOD are coming up as we lead up to the release of Final Fantasy XV.  Can’t wait to see them!

Final Fantasy XV is coming September 30th, 2016 to Xbox One and PS4

The Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild Will Support Amiibo June 14, 2016

That’s right guys, the title is correct. I just saw Amiibo functionality for The Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild demoed live at E3 2016 and it looks glorious.

First up, I’m sure that a lot of players are wondering what will happen if players use the Wolf Link Amiibo originally included in Twilight Princess HD in Breath of the Wild.

I could tell you that you would get yourself a Wolf Link companion that could be used once per day in your game and could help you hunt and defend you against enemies, but wouldn’t you rather see it in action?

But that’s not all, all new Amiibo figures are being released in support of the game, including a Rider Link and an incredibly detailed Archer Link.  Take a look at these!

The Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild is coming in 2017 to Nintendo NX and Wii U.
