5 best Gamescom videos you just have to watch"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>Europe&#8217;s biggest gaming expo and serious E3 rival, Gamescom, has been the show-ground for a lot of new announcements, reveals and gameplay demonstrations, giving gamers a glimpse of what&#8217;s to come in the foreseeable future.<\/p>\n<p>We rounded up the five best trailers and gameplay videos from all of the press conferences for your viewing pleasure.<\/p>\n<p><strong>These are the games we just cannot wait to hear more from and, eventually, play:<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\"><strong>Scalebound<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Microsoft brought down the house with its upcoming Xbox One exclusive, <em>Scalebound<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Coming from Platinum Games (of <em>Bayonetta<\/em> and <em>Metal Gear Rising<\/em> fame), <em>Scalebound<\/em> is sure to bring a number of new and old gamers to Microsoft&#8217;s latest console.<\/p>\n<p>It looks to combine intense action, a few RPG mechanics for good measure, interesting and, frankly, awesome systems (like controlling a freaking DRAGON!) and interesting characters with its dragon-fuelled and hack-&#8216;n-slash gameplay.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s got a little bit of an anime-inspired atmosphere to it, and we like that.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\"

Break<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>With Sony not holding its own press conference this year, it gave Microsoft ample opportunity to show off some more of its upcoming Xbox One titles, and<em> Quantum Break<\/em> was another that got a great reception.<\/p>\n<p>From developers Remedy (the guys responsible for <em>Max Payne<\/em> and <em>Alan Wake<\/em>), <em>Quantum Break<\/em> is a new third-person action game which allows players to use time as a main weapon.<\/p>\n<p>Don&#8217;t, however, think that you, as Jack, are the sole user of time abilities.<\/p>\n<p><iframe

class=\"my-4\"><strong>Mirror&#8217;s Edge: Catalyst<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Simply known as <em>Mirror\u2019s Edge: Catalyst<\/em>, the new game\u00a0sees the return of the heroine Faith and her free-running antics.<\/p>\n<p>In the pre-alpha gameplay footage, below, we see Faith infiltrate a skyscraper using her trademark parkour skills in a cut-down version of a full mission in the game.<\/p>\n<p>Faith eventually discovers a secret lab where something a little suspect seems to be taking place, which sets her off on a glorious run full of kicking henchmen in the face and through windows, or both \u2013 it\u2019s pretty spectacular.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/5GBVMGXXFMw?rel=0\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\"><strong>Crackdown 3<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The third instalment of the superpowered <em>Crackdown<\/em> franchise was also finally shown off, and it really came in with a bang.<\/p>\n<p>Fully destructible environments unlike any other, multiplayer and a massive city are only some of the incredible features that await us in <em>Crackdown 3<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/iXj-5qETB8g?rel=0\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\"><strong>Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Of course, <em>Metal Gear Solid V<\/em> was always going to be a highlight of the show, and Konami&#8217;s massive and highly-anticipated <em>MGS<\/em> sequel delivered on all fronts.<\/p>\n<p>A glorious, dramatic and action-packed trailer showcased what lies ahead for the tactical espionage series when it releases later this year.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/KOOxEnY2wwk?rel=0\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\"
