A couple of games I missed above:
Ryse (for Xbox One) - This game set in ancient Rome used to be a 360 Kinect game, but now it's for controllers and is on the X1. The game, from Crytek, has great graphics, but the gameplay looks uninteresting. The game is a third person action game. It looks a lot like the other ones, except with more QTEs. Crytek is trying to deny that they're QTEs, but the way it works is that while fighting enemies, button prompts appear on screen, and if you press the button in time (QTE!), you get a combo continuation / fatality. Ignore it and the game will be harder. So you can ignore them, but the game won't be as fun. Ugh.
Project Spark (X1) - Interesting-looking game creation tool. Most of the presentation was of a fantasy action/town-creation thing, but at the end they showed a whole bunch of random other stuff. I wonder how it'll all come together.
The Order: 1886 (PS4) - This game looks like it could be a team-based shooter, except set in alternate steampunk Victorian England, with characters names after characters from the Arthurian legends. Yeah, the setting is great, but I hope that the gameplay is as interesting as the setting and theme... who knows. The weapons and enemies look a bit too generic, like it's got this great setting... but the game might end up similar to all the others. Still, we didn't see any gameplay, so who knows.
