![]() ![]() One of the unlikeliest stars of the Xbox 360 launch was a licensed first-person adventure based on the King Kong movie, and by happy coincidence the next generation of consoles should arrive just in time to tap into another of Jackson's inexplicably unedited cinematic masterpieces. ![]() Michel Ancel's Peter Jackson's JRR Tolkien's The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug The new architecture is a perfect fit for blizzards of particle effects, so in addition to all the expected trappings of a road-to-the-tournament game (fewer teams, Andy Townsend on worse form than usual), a new "Pitch Inspection" mode allows you to mow each ground beforehand to modify playing conditions, leaving acres of fresh grass shavings to be picked up by the thrashing boots of Ronaldo and friends until you can barely see the crowd trouble in Serbia or that goddamn band playing The Great Escape yet again. The only question is how to make best use of the new consoles' additional firepower? And the answer comes from an unlikely source: lawnmowers. FIFA: Road to World Cup 2014įarming a port of last year's FIFA out to some bloke in a shed in Siberia might have worked for the PlayStation Vita, but EA Sports knows it can't pull that s*** with the PS4 or new Xbox, so instead the game's producers decide to hitch it to FIFA's upcoming showpiece tournament in Brazil.

From strategic reboots and overdue sequels to scrappy opportunistic ports and even a bit of new IP, this list captures our hopes and expectations for the first games of the next generation of home consoles. Undeterred, we've taken a look back at the historical precedents set by previous launches and drawn up a list of possible titles that could be destined to accompany the new hardware to market. We have absolutely no idea what those games will be. The launch title line-up is always one of the most hotly debated topics around any new games console, and with 2013 likely to throw up either or both of the next Xbox and PlayStation 4, it seems only fitting that we devote a little time at the start of the year to the games we're likely to see when Microsoft and Sony pull their respective triggers. ![]()
