In what was looking to be a jam-packed 2014 holiday seasons for games, the competing for consumer dollars will be at least a little less intense for game developers/publishers as two high profile releases have been confirmed to be delayed until early 2015. The first is the well-established Battlefield entry, dubbed Hardline, which pits cops against robbers and is supposed to be a big step up for story quality in the series. The second is what many billed as the most exciting cooperative game, titled EVOLVE. EVOLVE runs a 4v1 cooperative/competitive play setup where four players will assume specific classed hunters and try to take down a beast that is controlled by a different human player. Early demos at gaming conventions have lead EVOLVE to being talked about as much as other heavy hitters like Destiny and Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare.
With EVOLVE and Battlefield out of the 2014 picture the game-scape may be a little less crowded, but there’s still plenty to look forward to, such as:
- Call of Duty Advanced Warfare
- Halo: The Master Chief Collection
- Assassin’s Creed Unity
- Far Cry 4
- Sunset Overdrive
- Destiny
- Shadow of Mordor
- Forza Horizon 2
- Project Spark
- Madden 15
- The Witcher 3
- Dragon Age: Inquisition
Also included in the mix are current-gen console updates for games like Grand Theft Auto 5, Metro 2033/Last Light (named “Redux” together), A Wolf Among Us, Diablo 3 and more.
