5 Upcoming Video Games That Will Change Everything

Everyone knows the feeling. You, in-game character badass, stand with rocket launcher in hand, and fire at a small stone wall with the fury of a thousand suns.

And then exactly nothing happens.

Until now, games have lacked the power to create a fully, truly interactive world. Walls, ceilings, floors, even vehicles are ultimately little more than nicely textured, invincible barriers to total immersion. Well, fret no longer! The third instalment in the Crackdown franchise, set for release early 2019, promises a 100% interactive, destructible, multiplayer environment.

There’s literally nothing in this game you can’t blow up, clamber over, or smash to pieces. And, if you can wrench your mind from the giddy prospect of unencumbered destruction, it’s a bigger technological feat than you might think.

If Crackdown can pull it off, then it’ll be the first in (presumably) a long line of games pushing the limits interactivity in video games. The 100% destructible city also promises to open up incredible new strategies in multiplayer combat.

Strategically knock down walls to funnel enemies into a trap? Cut off exits and entrances to build yourself a fortress? Take down a building to get at those campers who called your mum fat who are sheltering inside? Or, maybe just literally level the entire city with a few mates and a rocket launcher or two, because, ultimately, isn’t that what gaming is all about?
