Games, we can’t get enough. Whether it’s shooting, racing, horror or adventure… we want it all.
Every fall a lot of new games are released, including now. Below are the most important PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 games this fall. Striking: the harvest from Sony PlayStation’s own studios is very meager for the last months of 2021. Sony is mainly aiming for content from other (third-party) publishers. At the same time, 2022 will be busier than ever.
Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – Definitive Edition (date unknown)
Rockstar is going to give three GTA classics a new look.
The trilogy consists of: Grand Theft Auto 3 (2001), Grand Theft Auto: Vice City (2002) and Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas (2004). Little is known about the new version, however, Rockstar has announced that there will be several upgrades, such as graphical improvements and modern gameplay changes. The games will still keep their original look & feel.
The coming weeks are exciting, because then more will be known about the release date and whether the trilogy will also be available as separate games.
The games will be available for PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5, as well as for the Xbox Series X and S, Xbox One, PC and even the Nintendo Switch. This version of the trilogy will also be released for iOS and Android, but that will not happen until 2022.
The Dark Pictures Anthology: House of Ashes – 22 oktober
The Dark Pictures Anthology: House of Ashes is the third of eight planned installments in The Dark Pictures Anthology series. In 2019 there was Man of Medan and in 2020 we got Little Hope.
The player controls 5 characters trapped under an underground Mesopotamian temple during the 2003 Iraq War, where they are stalked and hunted by monsters and awakened.
The characters are CIA officer Rachel King (Ashley Tisdale), her husband, U.S. Air Force Lieutenant Colonel Eric King (Alex Gravenstein), USMC Force Recon Marines First Lieutenant Jason Kolchek (Paul Zinno) and Sergeant Nick Kay (Moe Jeudy-Lamour) and Iraqi Army Lieutenant Salim Othman (Nick Tarabay).
Throughout the game, several decisions have to be made that can have long-term consequences, as they affect how the characters see each other and the course of the story. All characters can survive or die, depending on the decision the player makes.
The game has different difficulty levels for the quick time events and includes 4 main modes. In addition to the main theratical mode, players who pre-order the game will also gain access to the Curator’s Cut, which allows players to experience the story from another character’s perspective. “Shared Story” and “Movie Night”, the two multiplayer modes from the previous games, return in House of Ashes.
Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy – 26 oktober
Take on the role of Star-Lord in a video game version of Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy. The game is a single-player adventure in which Star-Lord must team up with Groot, Drax and the rest of the famous gang. Like the Avengers game, Square Enix does not use the Marvel movie license. So don’t expect this Star-Lord on Chris Pratt seems. And Vin Diesel does not vote for Groot.
Players can determine Star-Lord’s dialogue choices, these decisions have long-lasting consequences. For example, you can choose to sell Groot or Rocket Raccoon to a monster collector. Either to support people or not. The 80’s is mainly reflected in the wonderful soundtrack.
