1.INJUSTICE 2
Initial release date: 2017
Developer: NetherRealm Studios
Publisher: Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment
Genre: Fighting game
Director: Ed Boon
Platforms: PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Android, iOS
So far, at least, the game has only been announced as an Xbox One and PS4 title. No word on PC or mobile versions just yet. Since versions of the original came to both those platforms, I suspect we’ll see them as well.
This time around, character customization is a big part of the game, according to Warner Brothers and developer NetherRealm Studios.
Injustice 2, we are introducing new features that will change the way fans play fighting games,” said Ed Boon, Creative Director, NetherRealm Studios in a statement. “We’re always interested in pushing the genre forward and allowing players to customize and level-up their favorite DC Super Heroes and Super-Villains is a significant leap.”
“Expanding the DC Universe in games continues to be one of our top priorities, and Injustice 2 showcases amazing gameplay and an original story to bring the characters to life for players,” Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment president David Haddad adds. “NetherRealm Studios is offering fans an experience of customizing and battling with DC’s iconic characters in an entirely new way.”
The story continues where the last game left off.
Now ”as Batman and his allies work towards putting the pieces of society back together while struggling against those who want to restore Superman’s regime” a brand new threat appears. This reminds me how much I wish that Batman Vs. Superman had taken this route, with Superman going full world conqueror as he does in Batman’s vision. Oh well. Maybe next time.

Prey 2 is an upcoming first-person shooter video game developed by Arkane Studios and published by Bethesda Softworks. The game is scheduled for release in 2017 for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.
Though a sequel to the original Prey of 2006, it had been announced and in development by Human Head Studios shortly after the original's release. With rights being transferred from 3D Realms to Bethesda during the process, the game fell into development hell, and was eventually canceled by Bethesda in 2014. Bethesda announced Prey as a re-imagining of the original game at the Electronic Entertainment Expo 2016, with the Austin branch of Arkane Studios taking on development duties.
Prey is a first-person shooter with role-playing game elements and strong narrative. The player takes the role of Morgan Yu, a human aboard a space station with numerous hostile aliens. The player will be able to select certain attributes of Yu, including gender, and decision made by the player will affect elements of the game's story. To survive, the player controls Yu to collect and use weapons and resources aboard the station to fend off and defeat the aliens.According to creative director Raphael Colantonio, the station will be completely continuous rather than having separate levels or missions, at times requiring the player to return to areas they previously explored. The player will also be able to move around the outside of the station in zero gravity and find shortcuts connecting parts of the station. Colantonio also stated that the aliens have an array of different powers that the player-character can gain over time; one such alien has the ability to mimic everyday items such as a chair.
Prey 2 takes place in an alternate timeline where United States President John F. Kennedy survived the assassination attempt in 1963. As President, Kennedy directed more funding into the space program, allowing it to flourish.
The game takes place in 2032, aboard a space station Talos I that is orbiting Earth's moon. Talos I was built during Kennedy's term, and has been expanded over several decades by various groups. This creates several different decors across the station ranging from retrofuturism to Art Deco.
4.THE LEGEND OF ZELDA BREATH OF THE WILD
Initial release date: 2017
Series: The Legend of Zelda
Director: Hidemaro Fujibayashi
Publisher: Nintendo
Platform: Wii U
Developers: Nintendo Entertainment Analysis & Development, Nintendo Entertainment Planning & Development
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is an upcoming action-adventure video game under development by Nintendo for the Wii U and the company's upcoming platform, codenamed "NX". It is the nineteenth main instalment in the The Legend of Zelda series and the first original Zelda game developed with a high-definition resolution. The story is set in Hyrule, and follows amnesiac protagonist Link, who awakens from a 100-year slumber to a mysterious voice that guides him on a quest to defeat Calamity Ganon.
The title will feature an open world environment and other gameplay elements that constitute a departure from the series' conventions, including an advanced physics engine, as well as the ability to play through the game's dungeons in any order. Announced in 2013, the game was initially planned for release as a Wii U exclusive in 2015. After being delayed twice, it is currently set for release in 2017.
The gameplay of Breath of the Wild is a departure from most games in The Legend of Zelda series, as the game takes place in an open world environment, approximately twelve times the size of the overworld featured in Twilight Princess, with less emphasis on defined entrances and exits to areas. Similar to the original The Legend of Zelda, the player is placed into the game's overworld with little to no instruction and is allowed to explore freely at their own pace. Players control Link, who now has the ability to jump and climb up almost any surface. By exploring the environment, Link can find various weapons, including melee weapons, shields, and bows, as well as equippable clothing and food items that can be eaten or cooked to restore health. Weapons break after excessive use, but many weapons have multiple uses; for example, tree branches can be used to light fires, and shields can be used as makeshift snowboards. Throughout the game, Link possesses a piece of technology known as the Sheikah Slate, which provides players with a map and allows Link to create waypoints and investigate enemy stats. By discovering various runes, the Sheikah Slate can be upgraded with various powers, including creating bombs, controlling objects with magnetism, and stopping time around objects and enemies.
The game supports multiple Amiibo figurines that can alter gameplay. For example, the Wolf Link Amiibo summons Wolf Link as a partner character that helps Link battle foes. Wolf Link carries over the number of hearts that are saved onto the Amiibo after playing through the Cave of Shadows in Twilight Princess HD.
Link awakens from a deep sleep, and a mysterious voice guides him to discover what has become of the ruined Kingdom of Hyrule. Link meets an old man and learns from him that 100 years prior, a great evil known as the Calamity Ganon appeared and laid waste to Hyrule. Unable to be defeated, it was sealed within Hyrule Castle
while the ruins of the land were ravaged by nature over time. Although
trapped, the Calamity Ganon has continued to grow in power, and Link
must defeat it before it breaks free and destroys the world.

Initial release date: 2017
Series: Crackdown
Publisher: Microsoft Studios
Platforms: Xbox One, Microsoft Windows
Developers: Sumo Digital, Reagent Games, Cloudgine
Genres: Action-adventure game, Third-person shooter
Crackdown 3 is an upcoming sandbox-style third-person shooter video game for Microsoft Windows and Xbox One developed by British developer Reagent Games, a studio led by former Realtime Worlds head and series creator David Jones, and published by Microsoft Studios. Continuing the series 7 years after the release of 2010's Xbox 360 video game Crackdown 2, the game focuses on Microsoft Azure-powered mass scale destruction that enables everything in the game to be destroyed.
Largely retaining the sandbox elements from the past games, Crackdown 3 will feature destructible environments which can be triggered by players.
The game was announced at Microsoft's press conference at the Electronic Entertainment Expo 2014 in June 2014, as an Xbox One exclusive. While the game was still at an early stage at the time of its reveal, Microsoft's Phil Spencer
said that the title came about from talks with Dave Jones who, after
leaving Realtime Worlds, joined Cloudgine, a software company that is
developing technology allowing game developers to take advantage of cloud computing
features. Cloudgine had been previously rumored to be a core part of
the Xbox One software, with their software used in a technology
demonstration at a Microsoft developer's conference in April 2014,
demonstrating the use of cloud computer to speed up the physics modeling
and rendering in a fully destructible city environment. Spencer revealed that the demo world was the start of this newest Crackdown title, with ability to destroy any part of the city expected to be carried over to the final game.
According to Spencer, Cloudgine will help to develop the core engine,
while Reagent Games, a studio located in close proximity to Cloudgine,
will develop the gameplay and art assets for the game. Microsoft Studios' creative director Ken Lobb asserted that the game will only be called Crackdown instead of Crackdown 3, stating that the game is set in the future of the first game but represents an alternate timeline from what Crackdown 2 provided.
The game was officially revealed as Crackdown 3 during Microsoft's Gamescom
2015 press conference on August 4, 2015. The focus on cloud-powered
real time destruction was first demonstrated there, and Jones stated
that Microsoft's cloud computing technology provides 20x more power than
playing the game on a single Xbox One console.Because of the game's reliance to Microsoft Azure
for destruction engine, the full scale destruction will only be
available in the game's online multiplayer modes, while campaign mode,
regardless of number of players, will only have access to limited degree
of destruction.8. GRAN TURISMO SPORT

Langermann is unable to fight completely albeit scripted scenes where protagonist Miles Upshur can defend in Outlast, and can only hide in lockers, much like the first game. He only possesses a camcorder, which it has night vision enabled in case of pitch black environments. Langermann also wears glasses, which limits the player's vision if they are to fall off. The camcorder also is drained when night vision is used, and spare batteries used to recharge the camcorder are spread throughout the locations.

10.RESIDENT EVIL 7 : BIOHAZARD
Initial release date: January 24, 2017
Series: Resident Evil
Developer: Capcom
Genre: Survival horror
Publisher: Capcom
Platforms: PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Microsoft Windows
Resident Evil 7: Biohazard is an upcoming survival horror video game developed and published by Capcom. The game is slated for release on Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, with the PlayStation 4 version including full PlayStation VR support. The game will be the eleventh entry into the main Resident Evil series, and the first main series installment to be played from a first-person perspective. It will be released worldwide in January 2017.
Resident Evil 7 was announced during Sony's presentation at E3 2016. Later that day, a gameplay teaser titled Resident Evil 7 Teaser: Beginning Hour was released to the PlayStation Store, which was meant to show the direction the development team had taken and is not a part of the final game.
The player controls the protagonist, Ethan, from a first-person perspective. Ethan will have access to weapons including pistols, shotguns, flamethrowers, explosives and chainsaws in the fight against enemies described as mutant creatures, although, according to developers, players should not expect a "gun fest".Other notable mechanics of previous Resident Evil games, including puzzle-solving, resource management and healing herbs have also been confirmed to be featured in the game. Quick time events, on the other hand, will be entirely absent. The PlayStation 4 version of the game can also be played from start to finish in VR using the PlayStation VR helmet, but gameplay remains identical between the two modes.
The game is set after the events of Resident Evil 6, "in modern day", and features a new protagonist named Ethan who does not have the combat skills the main characters of recent Resident Evil games display. Ethan is on the search for his missing wife, which leads him to a derelict plantation mansion, home to the strange Baker family.
Although connections to previous games in the series will be made, the game will feature an entirely new cast of characters. The title of the game, which for the first time contains in it both the "Resident Evil" and "Biohazard" brand names of the series across all regions, is said to be a clue to what's behind the game's plot.
