Microsoft and Sony did not debut their next-generation gaming consoles
at the Electronic Entertainment Expo in Los Angeles last week, but two
publishers teased upcoming titles that seemed destined for the future gaming systems.
Given that neither company has announced their upcoming consoles,
Ubisoft and Lucas Arts did not admit that their titles, Watch Dogs and
Star Wars 1313, were indeed headed for next-generation consoles;
according to The Guardian, both companies claimed the games
were operating on “high-end PCs.” Both titles, nonetheless, may give us a
glimpse of what’s coming in Microsoft and Sony’s upcoming consoles.
Ubisoft’s upcoming Watch Dogs game is set in Chicago and centers on
the player’s ability to hack into various electronic systems, either to
obtain, control or destroy information. Based on what Ubisoft displayed,
the next generation of consoles could allow developers to create
ultra-realistic cities, which can be populated by hundreds of
AI-controlled characters that are able to interact with players.
LucasArts also demoed its Star Wars 1313 game, and while it is still
in an early stage of development, the game featured stunning
high-quality, photo-realistic graphics. The development team used
advanced motion capture technology to create computer-generated
characters that looked more human than those found in today’s top
titles. “The next generation of platforms should banish that wooden,
robotic, dead-eyed ambience that games characters routinely possess at
the moment,” The Guardian’s Steve Boxer noted.
Based on these two games, whose trailers follow below, it is clear
that the next generation of gaming consoles will push the boundaries of
not just the look and feel of gaming, but of storytelling as well.
